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

"How...how is this possible..."

"Why is there an indelible mark on my soul?!"

"He actually managed to control the Emperor!"

"It's over..."

……

Seeing the groans and cries of agony before him, Lu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile. He then said with a cold laugh, "Didn't you all say you would be loyal to me? What, now that I've implanted the soul imprints in you, you're all unwilling?"

"Could it be that you are pretending to be loyal to me, while secretly plotting your escape?"

Upon hearing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Emperor Mingxin quickly replied, "Your Majesty is wise; I had no such intention."

Lu Chen then looked at the other Great Emperors, who also said, "We have no such thoughts."

Now that the soul imprint is deep within their souls, their lives hang in the balance. If they still think about escaping, their souls will likely be destroyed in the next moment.

They can only accept their bad luck now.

At this moment, Emperor Mingxin thought of a problem: the Great Xia Dynasty had two emperors who wielded the power of killing, while the current Divine Moon Dynasty only had Lu Yanghua, who was suspected of committing suicide to prove his Dao.

Is it possible that the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty has actually surpassed that of the Divine Moon Dynasty?

Although they were only at the first or second level of the Great Emperor realm, they were still Great Emperors after all, and the array barrier they had attacked together earlier had not been broken.

Even if the Emperor of the Divine Moon Dynasty were to come, he might not be able to break the barrier. But that's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that Lu Chen was able to set up such an array barrier.

This demonstrates his capabilities to some extent, and also suggests that Lu Chen likely has even more means to deal with the Divine Moon Dynasty.

Thinking about it carefully, if Lu Chen didn't have any means, how could he have won over another Great Emperor who wielded the power of killing, and how could he have dealt with a wave of attacks from the Heavenly Demon?

The more Emperor Mingxin thought about it, the more he felt that joining the Great Xia Dynasty might not necessarily be a bad thing.

If the Great Xia Dynasty can defeat the Divine Moon Dynasty and become a superpower in the universe, then they might have a better chance of winning when facing the Great Calamity.

The thought of this possibility stirred a slight excitement within Emperor Mingxin.

"Alright, now that you have chosen to pledge allegiance to me, go back and prepare yourselves. I will immediately travel to your dynasty to formally accept your allegiance."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Tie Qu went to their dynasty and accepted their formal allegiance, which meant that all their dynasties would be incorporated into the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Wouldn't that mean their dynasty's fortune would be completely transferred to Lu Chen, and their future strength would decline significantly?

Seeing the reluctance on their faces, Lu Chen knew they were unwilling, so he continued, "The army of the Divine Moon Dynasty is about to arrive. Do you really think you can fight against the Divine Moon Dynasty's army alone?"

"If any of you can do this, I will not absorb your dynasty's fortune and will allow your dynasty to continue to exist independently."

This……

The emperors looked at each other, and finally they all bowed to Lu Chen, saying, "We are willing to offer our dynasty to you."

After thinking about it, they realized that Lu Chen was right. Given the current situation, even if Lu Chen didn't absorb their dynasty, they wouldn't be able to protect themselves when the Divine Moon Dynasty's army arrived.

If they truly had the ability to protect their own dynasty, they wouldn't have chosen to attack the Great Xia Dynasty.

The thought that they had not only failed to conquer the Great Xia Dynasty, but had instead been controlled by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty made them feel extremely distressed.

But it's too late to say anything now. They are now completely tied to the Great Xia Dynasty. If the Great Xia Dynasty is destroyed and Lu Chen dies, their souls will probably be destroyed by that soul imprint.

Lu Chen then added, "You should be glad you made that decision."

"Once your dynasty is merged into the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty's restriction will also extend to your dynasty to protect your people."

Upon hearing this, the emperors were taken aback. Emperor Mingxin then asked, "Is Your Majesty telling the truth?"

Some emperors don't care about their descendants; they can abandon them to save their own lives. But others can't. Each emperor's path is different.

Take Pei Shuhua's path of protection as an example. If she abandons everything she protects after becoming an emperor, her Dao heart will collapse, and she may very well perish.

Emperor Mingxin proved his Dao through kinship. If he had abandoned his family and his descendants, his Dao heart would have been shattered in the end. Therefore, he was the emperor among these emperors who was the least likely to abandon his dynasty and flee.

Now that Lu Chen said that the Great Xia Dynasty's barrier could spread to his dynasty and protect the people within it, he was naturally very happy.

Lu Chen said, "You'll understand when your dynasty merges into the Great Xia Dynasty."

I'm currently reading the latest chapters!

Emperor Mingxin immediately said, "I will return immediately to prepare for the ceremony and await Your Majesty's arrival!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Mingxin's figure transformed into a streak of light. Seeing that Emperor Mingxin had left, the other emperors also departed one after another.

After all the emperors had left, Empress Tianhong completely withdrew her killing domain. At this moment, Empress Tianhong's blood-red eyes stared straight at Lu Chen, as if she wanted to attack him.

Lu Chen asked with a smile, "Honghong, why are you staring at me like that?"

Empress Tianhong coldly said, "Let your main body come here."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Why did you send him here in his true form?

Empress Tianhong didn't offer any further explanation. She flew directly back to the Flying Rainbow Immortal Ship. Seeing that Empress Tianhong had left, Lu Chen also immediately returned to the ship.

After returning to the Immortal Ship, Empress Tianhong ignored Lu Chen and immediately sat cross-legged to meditate and cultivate.

Although he didn't know what Empress Tianhong wanted to do, Lu Chen immediately summoned his main body to her side.

The moment the Rainbow Empress sensed Lu Chen's aura, she instantly opened her tightly closed eyes. Before Lu Chen could react, the Rainbow Empress teleported to appear in front of him.

Then, Empress Tianhong pushed Lu Chen's main body down and sat directly on Lu Chen's body.

If she had killed those invading emperors, her cultivation might have been able to break through, but Lu Chen came and interrupted her, which made her very angry.

Since Lu Chen ruined her path to breakthrough, then let Lu Chen pay for it.

As for why Lu Chen's main body was chosen, it's because Lu Chen's realm is stronger, and his use of the power of the Great Dao of Life is more skillful, allowing him to create more small lives in a short time using the power of the Great Dao.

Seeing Empress Tianhong's vengeful look, Lu Chen said helplessly, "They've already surrendered. I can't possibly let you kill them again, can I?" (End of Chapter)
