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

When Lu Chen arrived at the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, all the Great Emperors who were heading to the outer realms had already arrived.

Lu Chen glanced at the emperors present, then asked, "How many of you have ever been to the outer realms? Please raise your hands."

Then ten emperors in the crowd raised their hands. Lu Chen glanced at them and said, "Surprisingly few."

Of the nearly one hundred Great Emperors, only ten had ever been to the Outer Realms. Lu Chen had assumed that most of the Great Emperors had been to the Outer Realms.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Empress Tianhong leads the way, she should be very familiar with the outer realms.

Lu Chen continued, "Now we'll start dividing into groups. Those of you who have been to the Outer Realms before will be team leaders. Each team will have ten people. Once we enter the Outer Realms, everyone else will have to listen to their team leader."

Upon hearing this, the ten Great Emperors who had entered the Outer Realm were extremely excited. They never expected that Lu Chen would entrust them with such an important task simply because they had entered the Outer Realm.

Although they were only temporary team leaders, the position of team leader obviously gave them more opportunities to perform in front of Lu Chen.

Immediately afterwards, the emperors in the main hall began to divide into groups, quickly forming ten groups. Seeing that the groups were complete, Lu Chen said, "Alright, let's set off!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the more than one hundred emperors in the main hall left the Heavenly Emperor Hall and came to the Saint-level Star Destroyer outside the Heavenly Emperor Hall.

For this expedition to the outer realms, the Great Xia Dynasty dispatched over a hundred Saint-level star destroyers, with one Great Emperor in charge of each.

The Great Xia Dynasty now has nearly five hundred Saint-level Star Destroyers. As the Great Xia Dynasty continues to expand, it has more and more resources, and the production speed of Star Destroyers has also increased significantly.

The more than one hundred Saint-level Star Destroyers that Lu Chen took away will not affect the Great Xia Dynasty's external expansion at all.

At this moment.

Central Star Region.

The Central Star Region has been quite lively this past month, with all the top powers mobilizing their troops. The top forces of the four major powers—the Divine Moon Dynasty, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the Nirvana Holy Land, and the Cloud Flower Palace—have basically all gathered.

When people saw these four major forces gathering, they thought they were preparing to attack the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion released news that a treasure had appeared in the outer realms that could allow a Ninth-Level Great Emperor to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm. The four major forces planned to join forces to go to the outer realms to find this treasure. If other forces were interested, they could also join them.

After hearing the news announced by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, some established holy sites also chose to join the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's team, planning to go to the outer realms together.

That's a treasure that could make a Ninth-Level Emperor take that step; almost no Ninth-Level Emperor could resist its temptation.

Most importantly, this news was released by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's status in the universe is beyond doubt. When the Heavenly Mystery Woman was still in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, she left people with the impression that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion knew everything.

Even though the Heavenly Mystery Woman has left the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, people still believe that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion knows everything.

In people's eyes, if Tianji Nu, the former second-in-command of Tianji Tower, had such high divination skills, then it goes without saying how powerful the tower's master was. Therefore, most emperors believed the news released by Tianji Tower.

Of course, some emperors, even if they believed it, did not intend to go to the outer realms with the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, including Yun Qingshu.

Red Rain World.

Yun Qingshu's residence.

Yun Qingshu remained seated on the soft couch, cultivating with her eyes closed, while that shameless man was also cultivating with his eyes closed in the distance.

In recent days, many immortal ships from various forces have passed through the Red Rain World. However, these immortal ships are all there to join the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's ranks. The emperors on these ships are merely stopping by the Red Rain World for a rest and have not caused any trouble.

Those forces all had their sights set on treasures rumored to be able to help a Ninth-Level Emperor break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm. Before reaching the outer realms, they didn't want to cause any trouble. If they suffered casualties before even reaching the outer realms, they wouldn't be able to compete for the treasures.

During this period, the entire universe has become much more harmonious, and all major powers are conserving their strength.

Lu Chen opened his eyes, glanced at Yun Qingshu who exuded a chilling aura, and asked, "They're all vying for the legendary treasure that can help them break through to become Heavenly Emperors, why don't you go?"

"You have no interest in such a priceless treasure?"

Yun Qingshu ignored Lu Chen's words; she didn't want to talk to this shameless man right now.

Lu Chen continued, "Why don't you join my fleet? I've also sent a hundred Great Emperors to the outer realms."

Yun Qingshu then spoke up, saying, "No need."

To Yun Qingshu's surprise, Lu Chen also planned to go to the outer realms. Lu Chen was not the so-called reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, so what attraction would such a treasure have for him?

It seems that his so-called reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor is not a true story.

Thinking of this, Yun Qingshu asked, "Aren't you afraid this is a trap?"

Lu Chen asked with a smile, "What trap?"

Yun Qingshu remained silent.

Seeing that Yun Qingshu remained silent, Lu Chen said, "I've also wondered if this is a setup designed against me, but even if it is, it doesn't matter."

"There are many things I need to personally verify in the outer realms; perhaps these are the keys to breaking the cycle of reincarnation."

"Reincarnation?"

Yun Qingshu was somewhat confused after hearing those two words.

Lu Chen said, "I told you before, the woman in this life was actually my woman in my past life."

"In fact, I have been reincarnated not just once or twice, but countless times. Those memories of reincarnation have been sealed away. After each reincarnation, my memories are sealed away."

"In my next life, I will spend a lot of time and energy to recover the memories of my previous life. As a result, my previous memories will remain sealed away, and I will never be able to recover my original memories. This means that I can only keep reincarnating with the great calamities of this universe."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Qingshu was extremely shocked. Had she been reincarnated countless times?

Some people have been reincarnated countless times during the destruction and rebirth of the universe.

If what Lu Chen said is true, then Lu Chen is too... pathetic.

Having experienced the last great calamity of the era, she didn't want to go through that fear of death again, while Lu Chen had experienced it countless times.

Of course, this is on the premise that what Lu Chen said is true.

But then again, she could sense that Lu Chen wasn't lying this time.

Lu Chen continued, "I suspect I'm not from this universe, but rather I fell into this universe for some reason and am now trapped here."

As Lu Chen's cultivation level rose higher and higher, he also developed a strong sense of constraint. He always felt that something was suppressing his power.

Furthermore, after hearing what Empress Tianhong told him about the outer realms, he became even more convinced that he was not from this universe, but rather came from the same place as those people from other worlds.

As for what the Chaos Beast is, he hasn't figured it out yet, but he believes he'll find the answer during this trip to the outer realms. (End of Chapter)
