Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

According to some secrets left over from the ancient era, before the Great Calamity of the Era begins, the Heavenly Demon will carry out a massacre of all life in the universe.

Now that the Heavenly Demons have appeared in large numbers, their numbers will inevitably continue to grow. These Heavenly Demons may very well attack the Great Xia Dynasty, which is why Empress Tianhong instructed Lu Chen to prepare accordingly.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's confident answer, Empress Tianhong immediately thought of the immortal artifact that Lu Chen had taken out.

Indeed, with that celestial artifact, the Heavenly Demons shouldn't have been able to invade the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, if the Heavenly Demon were to appear directly in a star field under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, then the Immortal Spirit Umbrella would seem to be of no use.

Lu Chen continued, "My main body is already preparing to convene the Great Xia Cultivator Conference. At that time, I will have the War Dragon Army increase its patrols over the various star regions of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Seeing that Lu Chen was already preparing, Empress Tianhong didn't say anything more and then prepared to return to her cultivation palace.

But just as she was about to leave, Lie Hongyun suddenly asked, "How did you do that?"

Clearly, this question was raised to Empress Tianhong.

Empress Tianhong slightly turned her head, coldly glancing at Lie Hongyun out of the corner of her eye, leaving behind the words, "Become his woman, and you will know."

After saying this, Empress Tianhong used spatial teleportation to leave the Xuan Yang Star Region.

After Empress Tianhong left, only Lu Chen and Lie Hongyun remained in the void.

Lie Hongyun turned to look at Lu Chen, hesitating to speak.

She wanted to ask the same question again, but Empress Tianhong had already given the answer: to find out how she so easily dealt with the Heavenly Demon, all she had to do was become Lu Chen's woman.

Even now, she still resists relying on a man to become stronger, but their fates are intertwined, and it seems she has no better option than to compromise.

After much deliberation, Lie Hongyun finally took the initiative and said to Lu Chen, "I can become your woman, but I need to know why she was able to eliminate those Heavenly Demons so easily."

A great calamity is approaching, and the number of demonic beings in this universe is increasing. According to historical records, before each great calamity begins, many emperors die under the siege of demonic beings.

If she could find a way to deal with the Heavenly Demons, she could ensure that she could live until the Great Calamity arrived. She didn't want to have finally made it to the Great Calamity, only to become food for those Heavenly Demons instead of dying during the Great Calamity.

For most cultivators, they would rather self-destruct than become food for the Heavenly Demons.

Upon hearing Lie Hongyun's request, Lu Chen simply smiled faintly, "Even if you hadn't brought it up, I would have told you how she did it. As long as she's my woman, I will tell her how to deal with the Heavenly Demon."

Faced with Lu Chen's words, Lie Hongyun felt a mix of emotions. She never imagined that she would one day do something like exchanging her body for benefits.

You must know that in her previous life she followed the path of ruthlessness. A great emperor who followed the path of ruthlessness, after reincarnation she actually cultivated with a man, which completely overturned her path in her previous life.

Fortunately, in this life she did not cultivate the path of ruthlessness, otherwise her Dao heart would probably have collapsed by now.

Lu Chen continued, "Since you've agreed, then come with me to the Tianchen World."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen used spatial teleportation to bring Lie Hongyun to the Tianchen World.

As soon as Lie Hongyun entered the Tianchen World, he felt a dense spiritual energy rushing into his body. After sensing the concentration of spiritual energy, which far exceeded that of the main star of Yunhua Palace, Lie Hongyun was shocked once again.

The Tianchen World is just an insignificant world in the Chaotic Star Sea, and it is located at the edge of the universe, so it is absolutely impossible for it to have such a dense spiritual energy.

Lie Hongyun looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Where is this place?"

Lu Chen replied, "This is the Tianchen World."

Lie Hongyun immediately said, "Impossible."

Although she did not come to the Tianchen World, the Tianchen World and the Blazing Flame World where she was originally located are very close. The Blazing Flame World is a relatively rich world in the Chaotic Star Sea, but it is not as rich in spiritual energy as this world.

How could this possibly be the Tianchen World?

Seeing that Lie Hongyun didn't believe it, Lu Chen smiled and said, "The Blazing Flame World has already merged with the Heavenly Chen World. Back then, the major forces of the Blazing Flame World also integrated into the Heavenly Chen World. You can go and ask them what this place is."

Lie Hongyun fell silent, her gaze fixed on the enormous World Tree in the distance.

If what Lu Chen said is true, then it proves that Lu Chen's past life was likely not just as simple as that of an emperor.

Lu Chen's ability to transform a life-bearing world in a peripheral star region into a sacred place is truly terrifying.

Lu Chen said, "You should familiarize yourself with the Tianchen World first. When you are ready, come to the palace to find me."

Lu Chen knew that Lie Hongyun was still somewhat resistant. After all, she was an empress in her previous life, and it was normal for her to be unable to accept being criticized for a while. Even an empress has face.

It took him a long time to win over Empress Tianhong, and even now she hasn't fully accepted him and still has some resentment.

Lu Chen wasn't in a hurry; there was still plenty of time.

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, his body disappeared from the spot, leaving only Lie Hongyun hanging in the sky.

Lie Hongyun hovered high in the sky, her eyes fixed on the Tianchen World, lost in thought. It took her a long time to gradually come back to her senses.

She then searched for the former forces in the Blazing World and quickly found one that was relatively close to her.

After arriving at that faction, she learned through the people there how the Great Xia Dynasty had gradually developed from a dynasty to its current state.

After learning about the entire history of the Great Xia Dynasty, Lie Hongyun became even more curious about Lu Chen's past life identity.

……

at the same time.

Yunhua Palace.

Inside the main hall of the palace.

Empress Dusheng unleashed her full power, and the emperors in the hall all felt this immense pressure. Even as emperors, they were still overwhelmed by this pressure and could hardly breathe.

In the middle of the main hall, Emperor Yanyue lowered his head, his wrinkled skin covered in beads of sweat.

Emperor Yanyue, fearing repercussions from Empress Dusheng, tried to rescue Lie Hongyun on his own. However, despite her best efforts, she was unable to break through the protective barrier of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Just as she was about to try again, she discovered that a large number of Heavenly Demons had appeared on the outskirts of the Great Xia Dynasty. Although she was an emperor, dealing with ordinary Heavenly Demons was not a problem for her.

However, the sudden appearance of so many Heavenly Demons means that the Heavenly Demon calamity before the Great Cataclysm has begun, and it is very likely that particularly powerful Heavenly Demons have already appeared near the Great Xia Dynasty.

Considering his own safety, Emperor Yanyue still had his clone report the matter of the Great Xia Dynasty to Empress Dusheng.

Empress Dusheng convened a meeting of palace masters at this very moment. Upon hearing that Lie Hongyun had been captured, Empress Dusheng was immediately enraged.

Lie Hongyun was the most suitable body for her to possess, besides Liu Qingyun, but now even Lie Hongyun has been captured.

If she hadn't found a suitable body to possess before the Great Calamity of the Epoch arrived, she might not have been able to survive it.

After a long pause, Empress Dusheng coldly asked, "Who did this?"
