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

After seeing Empress Tianhong break through to the sixth level of the Great Emperor realm, Lu Chen suddenly thought of a question.

The Slaughtering Emperor can fight across several levels, and the Rainbow Empress also has the Saint-level Imperial Daughter Sword in her hand. Now her strength is probably about the same as that of an Emperor at the Ninth Realm.

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly. Now, there is probably no one in the entire Lingzhao Super Starfield Cluster who can stop the expansion of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Even the Tianlu Dynasty, a dynasty with a ninth-level Great Emperor in charge, couldn't do that.

Seeing Lu Chen staring at her with a meaningful smile, Empress Tianhong glared coldly at him with her scarlet eyes. For some reason, she seemed to have guessed Lu Chen's thoughts again.

This man must have seen that she had broken through her cultivation level and believed that she was now an even better weapon of war.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Empress Tianhong didn't say anything more. She then turned her attention to her child.

At this moment, Lu Wudi gradually withdrew his killing power. After sensing the killing power of Empress Tianhong and Lu Wudi, Lu Chen understood what was going on.

Lu Wudi's physique is quite special. Even before he was born, he needed the killing power of the Tianhong Empress to nurture him.

After he was born, as his cultivation level broke through, he used his bloodline connection to give back the killing power he had absorbed to his mother.

Lu Chen glanced at Lu Wudi in the arms of Empress Tianhong once more, unable to hide the smile on his lips.

Although he treated almost all his children equally, he naturally felt proud when such an outstanding child suddenly appeared.

His mindset was similar to that of Empress Tianhong; no parent would be unhappy to have given birth to such an outstanding child.

Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't let Lu Wudi take over the Great Xia Dynasty in the future just because of Lu Wudi's talent.

In other places, strength is paramount, but not in the Great Xia Dynasty. The current ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty is Lu Changfeng, and he can only remain so, unless something happens to him or his time comes, then the ruler of the dynasty might be replaced.

Lu Chen's principle is that whoever can manage the Great Xia Dynasty well should become the ruler of the dynasty, rather than whoever is the strongest.

A person with strong abilities is not necessarily good at management. As things stand, Lu Changfeng is doing a great job. Lu Chen hasn't reviewed any reports from the imperial court in a long time, and he is becoming more and more at ease with Lu Changfeng.

At this moment, Lu Chen raised his hand, stroked his chin, and fell into deep thought.

Lu Wudi was born at the Quasi-Emperor level. If he grows up in the future, even if he doesn't have the intention to seize the throne, many people will probably actively join his ranks and urge him to take the throne.

Of course, that's secondary. When Lu Changfeng, the current ruler of the dynasty, sees that his younger brother was born at the Quasi-Emperor level, he might feel some apprehension and have some thoughts.

Lu Chen didn't want to see his children fight each other, so he had to find a way to balance the relationship between them.

However, this was not an easy task. Throughout history, many emperors did not want to see fratricide, but as the old emperors gradually lost control of the court, such fratricide began to occur.

Lu Chen didn't know if he could stay in the Great Xia Dynasty and control it forever, so he wanted to find a way to balance the relationships between all the children.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled. Why was he thinking about these things now? He wasn't dead, and the Great Xia Dynasty was still under his control.

Moreover, given his lifespan as the Great Emperor, he doesn't even know how long he can live. As long as he's alive, he can suppress the restless lust for power in the hearts of some children. During this time, he can slowly think about what to do.

With that thought in mind, Lu Chen put his worries aside.

……

After establishing a foothold in the Dongwang Dynasty, the Zhanlong Army immediately continued its expansion. During this period, several dynasties chose to actively submit to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Those dynasties that surrendered discovered that the Dongwang Dynasty was also fine, and basically guessed what the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to do. The Great Xia Dynasty was most likely trying to accumulate its imperial fortune, which is why it kept calling on a dynasty to surrender before attacking it.

Since the Great Xia Dynasty is only concerned with the dynasty's fortune, it will not commit massacres as long as people do not resist.

Although there are rumors that the Great Xia Dynasty has a Slaughtering Emperor, even if there really is such a Slaughtering Emperor, he may be different from the usual emperors who prove their Dao through killing.

Moreover, compared to ordinary emperors, the Slaughtering Emperor is much more difficult to provoke. If they do not choose to surrender immediately and anger the Slaughtering Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, then they will probably soon slaughter all the people of the entire dynasty.

Although some dynasty rulers did not want to lose the blessing of their dynasty's fortune, they ultimately chose to send envoys to contact the War Dragon Army, considering their own lives.

Soon, some of the weaker dynasties within the Lingzhao Super Star Cluster chose to pledge allegiance to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Some dynasties that originally intended to fight to the death eventually sent envoys to raise the white flag when they saw that there were more than twenty emperors in the War Dragon Army.

The number of emperors in the Great Xia Dynasty is now far greater than that of the Lingzhao Super Star Domain Cluster Dynasty. Even the number of emperors in the Tianlu Dynasty is not as many as that of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Great Xia Dynasty also accumulated more imperial fortune during its rapid expansion, and this imperial fortune was bestowed upon the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty, making them even stronger.

As a result, the overall strength of the Great Xia Dynasty also grew rapidly, and soon even Lu Chen felt that his realm had reached a bottleneck for breakthrough.

The rapid expansion of the Great Xia Dynasty finally made the Tianlu Dynasty nervous.

Tianlu Dynasty.

Imperial Star, Hall of State Affairs.

Emperor Tianlu sat on the dragon throne, looking at the projection in the hall with an extremely solemn expression.

The projection in the main hall displayed intelligence about the Great Xia Dynasty's destruction of dozens of dynasties, as well as some information about the War Dragon Army.

How long has it been? The Great Xia Dynasty has already destroyed so many dynasties.

Moreover, where did the Great Xia Dynasty get more than twenty emperors?

Twenty Great Emperors—what a concept that is! Even the Tianlu Dynasty didn't have that many Great Emperors!

Those dynasties in the central star region probably don't have that many publicly known emperors. Of course, there are also many emperors within the internal forces of those dynasties in the central star region who don't usually come out.

However, there are very few dynasties in the entire universe that can mobilize twenty emperors at the same time.

Larger dynasties, for example, have many powerful emperors within them. The Divine Moon Dynasty is a super power with a number of emperors.

However, these emperors belong to other forces within the dynasty. Although they accept the rule of the Divine Moon Dynasty, they do not directly obey the royal family's orders.

Many forces may outwardly submit to the Great Xia Dynasty, but in reality, they only pay lip service without contributing anything.

Therefore, the Divine Moon Dynasty can only mobilize a dozen or so emperors.
