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

Hearing Lu Chen's greeting, Yun Qingshu snapped out of her reverie and immediately asked, "Why is your cultivation level so low?"

Lu Chen replied with a smile, "This is just an avatar of mine."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Yun Qingshu was slightly taken aback. A clone?

The soul of the clone was so complete that there was absolutely no flaw in it.

How is that possible...?

All of Lu Chen's clones are controlled by a single divine soul, which is naturally complete. Of course, Yun Qingshu is unaware of this.

In the current universe, only Lu Chen can do this. It's normal that others can't tell whether Lu Chen is a clone or the main body, since Lu Chen doesn't have any clones; he can be considered the main body.

After regaining her senses, Yun Qingshu did not continue the topic. It didn't matter whether the Lu Chen in front of her was an avatar or the main body.

All she wanted to know was why this guy was here.

Then Yun Qingshu asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a kind smile. "You are Xianxian's master. Now that the universe has become so chaotic and dangerous, she is very worried about you. So I came to see you in person and also to invite you to join the Great Xia Dynasty."

Lu Chen planned to try a softer approach. If he could directly invite Yun Qingshu to join the Great Xia Dynasty, it would save him a lot of trouble.

However, Lu Chen did not believe that Yun Qingshu would agree.

Just as Lu Chen had expected, Yun Qingshu immediately refused as soon as he finished speaking, saying, "I advise you to give up on that idea."

Yun Qingshu was, after all, the main body of Yun Xianxian, and their consciousnesses had been connected. Yun Qingshu knew very well what kind of person Lu Chen was.

This man came to invite her to join the Great Xia Dynasty? What a joke! He wants to make her a member of his harem.

Seeing that Yun Qingshu refused outright, Lu Chen was not discouraged, after all, this was something he had expected from the beginning.

Lu Chen continued, "I heard you're planning to go to the Central Star Region?"

"The Central Star Region is currently fraught with danger. Super powers and top-tier forces could break out into a major war at any moment. If you go there now, you'll likely face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."

"Once the battle between the top powers begins, even the emperors will be cannon fodder. It's better to come to the Great Xia Dynasty. Besides, Xianxian is also in the Great Xia Dynasty. Look at her, she's doing just fine there."

Yun Qingshu said expressionlessly, "I know what you're planning. I advise you to keep your little scheme to yourself."

"It is precisely because my secondary body is in the Great Xia Dynasty that it is even more impossible for me to go to the Great Xia Dynasty."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked, puzzled, "Why is that?"

Yun Qingshu said coldly, "After we separate, one of us, me or her, will be able to survive this great calamity."

Lu Chen instantly understood Yun Qingshu's meaning. She was thinking that if they encountered some unavoidable danger, since they weren't together, only one of them would die, and the other would always survive.

There's nothing wrong with that idea, but then again, the two of them have already severed ties. The main body is the main body, and the secondary body is the secondary body. Why is Yun Qingshu still talking about not putting all her eggs in one basket?

Lu Chen was unaware that this was Yun Qingshu's original plan. Even though she had severed her spiritual connection with Yun Xianxian, in Yun Qingshu's heart, Yun Xianxian was still her secondary self.

In her view, as long as either she or Yun Xianxian could survive the great calamity, she would not be considered dead.

Lu Chen continued, "You should know that the Great Xia Dynasty has a barrier capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Ninth-Level Emperor. Compared to the Central Star Region, the Great Xia Dynasty is much safer."

Yun Qingshu asked, "You are also a survivor of the ancient era, don't you know that a place where eras intersect will appear in the Central Star Region?"

Hearing Yun Qingshu's question, Lu Chen was stunned. The place where eras meet?

What is that?

Even in his memories as the Heavenly Emperor in his previous life, this term didn't seem to have appeared before, right?

Lu Chen asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?"

When Yun Qingshu saw that Lu Chen actually asked what the place where the eras changed was, she paused for a moment. This man really didn't know what the place where the eras changed was.

How did he survive from the ancient era?

Yun Qingshu didn't answer Lu Chen's question immediately, but instead asked, "How did you survive from the ancient era?"

Lu Chen answered directly, "In the previous era, I was the Heavenly Emperor, and I withstood the great calamity of that era with my physical body."

……

Yun Qingshu fell silent.

Others tried every method to escape the great calamity of the era, and only a very few lucky ones found the place where the eras changed and survived. But this man in front of me actually withstood the power that destroyed an era with his own body.

Is this the Heavenly Emperor?

Suddenly remembering something, Yun Qingshu continued, "I recall that no Heavenly Emperor was born in the last era?"

Lu Chen said, "I also became the Heavenly Emperor just before the Great Calamity of the Epoch began. You were probably already dealing with the Great Calamity of the Epoch at that time, so you didn't know."

Lu Chen's words weren't without merit, so Yun Qingshu didn't dwell on it further. She then asked, "How much power has your main body recovered?"

Lu Chen replied, "Around the fifth or sixth level of the Great Emperor realm."

Yun Qingshu fell into deep thought.

Lu Chen could tell from her hesitant expression that she was already tempted. After all, this was the protection of the Heavenly Emperor. Following a Heavenly Emperor was better than finding a way to survive on her own.

Even if there really is a place where eras intersect in the central star region, Yun Qingshu wouldn't be able to find it immediately.

After a while, Yun Qingshu asked, "Did the people around you survive in the last era?"

This……

Yun Qingshu's question stumped Lu Chen. He was the Heavenly Emperor, capable of withstanding the power to destroy an era.

However, due to the change in the laws of the universe, all those around him eventually died. He could only use the power of the Heavenly Emperor to protect the souls of some people, allowing them to be reincarnated in the new era.

Seeing Lu Chen hesitate, Yun Qingshu knew that Lu Chen had failed to protect those around him. In other words, even if Lu Chen became the Heavenly Emperor, he could only protect himself and not others. So, there was no point in following Lu Chen, the Heavenly Emperor.

We still have to find our own way to survive.

Lu Chen then said, "I can protect your souls and allow you to be reincarnated in a new era."

Yun Qingshu said calmly, "No need."

Yun Qingshu then turned and left. She had only come here to see what this man was up to, and now that she knew his purpose, there was no need to waste any more time with him.

Seeing Yun Qingshu's graceful figure, Lu Chen said with a smile, "You may not know this, but all the women who are connected to me were my wives and concubines in their past lives, and they are destined to return to my side."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Qingshu immediately stopped. She stood there without turning around or saying anything, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
