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

The strength of the barrier of the Great Xia Dynasty has been verified by two ninth-level Great Emperors of the Divine Moon Dynasty. Even if the three dynasties join forces, it is highly unlikely that they will be able to break through this barrier.

Therefore, the three great dynasties were very worried that if the Great Xia Dynasty discovered anything unfavorable, especially if the emperor of that dynasty fled back to the Great Xia Dynasty's barrier, they would be left with nothing but to watch helplessly.

When the topic of the Great Xia Dynasty's barrier came up, the three emperors fell silent. As things stand, they had no better option than to drive the Great Xia Dynasty back into the barrier.

It is almost impossible to solve the problem once and for all.

Just then, Emperor Lingyun suddenly thought of something, "The ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, I think his name is Lu Chen, right? He should be the one who controls the Great Xia Dynasty's formation."

"He seems to be in the Great Xia Dynasty's army as well. If we can find his location and eliminate him, without the person maintaining this formation, wouldn't the Great Xia Dynasty's formation possibly collapse on its own?"

Emperor Dongyang said, "That's hard to say. Perhaps this formation doesn't need anyone to operate it all the time. Even if we get rid of Lu Chen, this formation may still exist."

Emperor Lingyun said, "Regardless of whether this formation continues or not, Lu Chen may still be the so-called Heavenly Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty who has not yet grown up. Once he dies, so many emperors will no longer gather around him, and the entire Great Xia Dynasty will naturally fall apart."

Hearing what Emperor Lingyun said, Emperor Dongyang and Emperor Zhengyang both felt that there was some truth to it. If Lu Chen really was the so-called Heavenly Emperor, then even if the Great Xia Dynasty's formation was still intact and some people from the Great Xia Dynasty escaped back after Lu Chen died, there would still be no threat to him in the future.

Moreover, this formation is very special. No one knows what power it relies on to maintain it. If the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty were to perish, the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty would inevitably decline to its lowest point, and at that time, this formation might also dissipate.

Emperor Zhengyang then said, "But... how can we determine that Lu Chen is the so-called Heavenly Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty? What if the Heavenly Emperor they're talking about is someone else?"

The three fell into deep thought again. This was indeed a problem. If they only killed a retired emperor without dealing with the key figure who caused all this, they would still face another invasion from the Great Xia Dynasty in the future.

After a while, Emperor Lingyun said, "Forget it, let's not think about it too much. Regardless of whether he is the Heavenly Emperor or not, Lu Chen must die. He proved his Dao by killing, and for that reason alone, we cannot allow him to grow stronger."

Since they can't determine whether Lu Chen is the Heavenly Emperor anyway, they might as well give up on thinking about it. Once they get rid of Lu Chen, they'll know whether he's the so-called Heavenly Emperor or not.

Emperor Dongyang and Emperor Zhengyang thought about it and agreed with Emperor Lingyun. Why should they worry about these things? Since war between the two sides was inevitable anyway, they might as well get rid of Lu Chen first and then see if he was the Heavenly Emperor.

Just as the three were about to leave the topic, a quasi-emperor suddenly appeared before Emperor Lingyun, "Your Majesty, there is new intelligence!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Emperor Lingyun raised his hand, and the jade slip in the quasi-emperor's hand emitted a golden light, which left a projection in the void of the universe.

The projection showed important intelligence sent back by spies from the Lingyun Dynasty while they were infiltrating those dynasties destroyed by the Great Xia Dynasty.

The intelligence report mentioned that no matter which dynasty's emperor they were, after surrendering to the Great Xia Dynasty, they all addressed Lu Chen as His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.

Upon seeing this news, the three emperors looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that Lu Chen really was the Heavenly Emperor who had not yet grown up?

But wasn't he originally the son of the Divine Martial Emperor?

After a moment of silence, Emperor Lingyun said, "Perhaps he was simply reincarnated into the Divine Moon Dynasty, and now he has regained his memories as the Heavenly Emperor."

Emperor Dongyang and Emperor Zhengyang frowned slightly, but their brows quickly relaxed and a smile appeared on their faces.

They were just worried that the rumored Heavenly Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would remain hidden within the Great Xia Dynasty's protective barrier, afraid to come out.

If that Heavenly Emperor doesn't come out, there's nothing they can do about him.

But since Lu Chen is the Heavenly Emperor, things are much easier. Now they only need to consider how to fight to surround Lu Chen and prevent him from escaping.

Emperor Lingyun thought for a moment and continued, "It seems that it would be safer to involve the Tianlu Dynasty."

All three of them were at the seventh level of the Great Emperor realm. The seventh level of the Great Emperor realm was not particularly rare in the universe, but no one could say for sure whether Lu Chen had any special treasures or special methods in his possession.

Having another ninth-level emperor makes things relatively safer. Although Emperor Tianlu's ninth-level strength is not as strong as other ninth-level emperors in the universe, he can still easily crush emperors below the ninth level.

With the four dynasties united, Lu Chen would have no chance of escaping.

As soon as Emperor Lingyun finished speaking, Emperor Dongyang immediately used his divine sense to sense the situation on his clone's side. His clone was among the envoys he had sent to visit the Tianlu Dynasty.

His clone has now arrived at the Tianlu Dynasty and is discussing an alliance with Emperor Tianlu.

At this moment.

Tianlu Dynasty, Council Hall.

Inside the main hall, members of the delegations from the three major dynasties were all present. Emperor Tianlu's gaze suddenly fell upon the delegation from the Dongyang Dynasty.

Emperor Tianlu chuckled and said, "Dongyang, when did you start liking to hide your true self? What are you doing sending a clone to infiltrate the delegation?"

Seeing that Emperor Tianlu had recognized him, Emperor Dongyang's clone stopped pretending and stepped forward directly, saying, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you."

The clone of the Eastern Emperor originally used a secret technique to shield the Emperor's perception of his soul, but it was not completely undetectable. The secret technique would temporarily fail when the main body used his divine sense to connect with the clone, thus exposing him.

Just now, the main body of the Eastern Yang Emperor was unaware that his clone was in the main hall. As a result, when he used his divine sense to investigate, he exposed his clone.

But so be it, it's good that he's been exposed. It'll allow him to directly discuss the alliance with Emperor Tianlu.

Emperor Tianlu said, "You three great dynasties' alliance, surely you can't even handle a barbaric dynasty on the edge of the universe? What are you doing coming to our alliance?"

Emperor Dongyang said directly, "Tianlu, stop pretending. You've already dispatched a large army, which proves that you've also discovered the threat to the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Also, I have some news to tell you while we're at this time."

Emperor Tianlu asked curiously, "What news?"

Emperor Dongyang replied, "According to the intelligence gathered by our people, that Lu Chen is very likely the so-called Heavenly Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Therefore, as long as Lu Chen is dealt with, all crises can be resolved." (End of Chapter)
