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

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the emperors in the hall all felt that they should also go to the outer realms to compete for opportunities, and they did not doubt the authenticity of this news.

The reason is simple: there are many powerful beings outside the outer realm. These beings do not belong to the outer realm, nor to this universe. They most likely come from another universe.

Since those powerful beings from outside the realm can enter the outer domain, then treasures from other universes can naturally also appear in the outer domain.

If the treasures of the Heavenly Emperor truly exist, then such treasures must absolutely not be given to others, even though the ancient record that "only one Heavenly Emperor can be born in a universe" has never been verified.

But what if something is wrong? What if this record is true, and the treasure that allows one to break through to become the Heavenly Emperor falls into the hands of other Great Emperors, and they use it to become Great Emperors? What will happen to Lu Chen, the Heavenly Emperor?

Therefore, no matter what, those treasures that can help a Ninth-Level Emperor take that step must not fall into the hands of other forces in this universe.

After the emperors in the hall had discussed it for a while, Lu Chen spoke again: "If there really is a magic weapon that can enable a ninth-level emperor to break through to become a Heavenly Emperor, then it naturally cannot fall into the hands of others. Therefore, I have decided to lead people to the outer realms as well."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the emperors in the hall all expressed their agreement. Such an important item had to be seized, as it concerned the struggle for the Heavenly Emperor and, more importantly, whether they would have a greater chance of surviving the Great Tribulation of the Epoch.

Lu Chen then changed the subject, "However, to be honest, given the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty, I am still somewhat uneasy."

"Moreover, I believe that this trip to the outer regions presents an excellent opportunity for the Great Xia Dynasty to expand."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the emperors present instantly understood what he meant.

If the top powers in the Central Star Region all go to the outer regions to seek opportunities, it would indeed be an excellent opportunity for the Great Xia Dynasty to expand.

By then, there won't be many strong individuals left in this universe. Those dynasties with slightly weaker strength will likely choose to surrender directly when they see the Great Xia Dynasty coming on strong.

Lu Chen continued, "Therefore, the key task for the next period of time is to continue to expand outwards, increase the number of our emperors, and increase the dynasty's fortune."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the emperors in the hall all shouted in unison, "We obey the imperial decree!!!"

After Lu Chen issued the order, the Great Xia Dynasty's War Dragon Army immediately sprang into action and continued its expansion.

The Divine Moon Dynasty and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion have been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Great Xia Dynasty, as they want to know whether Lu Chen has been tricked or not.

Tianji Tower, at the summit of Tianji Peak.

Xuan Tian sat in the pavilion, leisurely savoring the tea in his hand.

Just then, three illusory figures of emperors appeared outside the pavilion. They were the avatars of the Lord of Nirvana, the Divine Martial Emperor, and the Empress of Salvation.

After the three clones appeared, they found Xuan Tian leisurely drinking tea. They frowned immediately. At this moment, the Divine Martial Emperor said, "Lord Xuan, it seems your plan is unreliable. My rebellious son doesn't seem to have fallen for it."

Upon hearing Emperor Shenwu's words, Xuantian smiled faintly and then said, "Who said he wasn't fooled?"

The Divine Martial Emperor continued, "The Great Xia Dynasty's army is currently expanding in all directions. If they fall for our trap, will they launch a large-scale war at this time?"

Logically speaking, if Lu Chen had fallen for the trap, he should have quickly gathered the Great Emperors and prepared to follow the Great Emperors in the Central Star Region to the Outer Regions, instead of sending those Great Emperors out to wage war everywhere as he is doing now.

This suggests that Lu Chen likely didn't take the news about the treasures in the outer realms to heart at all.

Xuan Tian said calmly, "Don't be anxious. In my opinion, he is accelerating his attack on other dynasties precisely because he believes this rumor."

Empress Dusheng asked, "Why is that?"

Before Xuan Tian could speak, the Lord of Nirvana interjected, "He wants to take advantage of the fact that the top powers in the Central Star Region are focused on the Outer Regions, so he can seize more territory and thus improve the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty. When they go to the Outer Regions, the number of their Great Xia Dynasty emperors will also be greater."

As the Great Xia Dynasty expands outwards, it will inevitably absorb more emperors to join the Great Xia Dynasty. Although, according to current intelligence, the Great Xia Dynasty has two emperors who have attained enlightenment through killing.

One of the ruthless emperors was an empress, and the other was Lu Chen himself. However, neither of them rarely went on a killing spree. They basically absorbed all the emperors who surrendered into the Great Xia Dynasty.

From this perspective, the purpose of the Great Xia Dynasty's wars was clearly different from that of the Divine Martial Emperor. The Divine Martial Emperor launched wars simply to kill and enhance his personal strength, so that he could take that step.

Lu Chen's goal is to make the Great Xia Dynasty stronger overall. From this perspective, Lu Chen's decision to launch foreign wars at this time is primarily aimed at attracting more emperors to join the Great Xia Dynasty.

Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Nirvana, Empress Dusheng and Emperor Shenwu realized what was happening.

The Divine Martial Emperor sneered, "It seems this rebellious son's ambitions are even greater than mine!"

Xuan Tian took a sip of his tea and said, "Now that the fish has taken the bait, we should make our preparations."

As soon as Lu Chen's main body comes out of the Great Xia Dynasty, he will immediately send the entire Great Xia Dynasty out of this universe. Without the protection of that immortal artifact, Lu Chen will only be able to reincarnate in his body like he did in the previous dozens of lifetimes, until his divine soul power completely dissipates and is refined by him.

Thinking of this, Xuan Tian couldn't help but smile slightly. Now that they've reached this lifetime, he felt that Lu Chen's spiritual power was about to give out.

Upon hearing Xuan Tian's words, Empress Du Sheng did not hesitate at all, "Alright, I will go back and make preparations."

As soon as she finished speaking, the avatar of the Dusheng Empress vanished instantly. After the Dusheng Empress left, the Lord of Nirvana also left, leaving only the Divine Martial Emperor and Xuan Tian on the mountain peak.

Seeing that the Divine Martial Emperor had not yet left, Xuan Tian asked, "Is there anything else?"

The Divine Martial Emperor said expressionlessly, "Doesn't Master Xuan think this is a great opportunity?"

Xuan Tian asked in confusion, "What opportunity?"

The Divine Martial Emperor continued, "An opportunity to deal with those old holy lands in the Central Star Region."

This news not only attracted Lu Chen, but also the attention of those established holy lands. It is certain that many holy land lords from these established holy lands will go to the outer realms in the future.

Under normal circumstances, those old immortals hide in the holy lands, making it very difficult to eliminate them. After all, those old holy lands have various ancient formations, and the power of those formations is terrifying. Even the Divine Martial Emperor does not dare to easily attack those ancient holy lands.

However, if the lords of those holy sites were to emerge, things would be different.
