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

Lu Zheng patted Liao Xiaoshuang on the back and comforted her, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. That woman should be from Xuan Yue Palace, the younger sister of one of the king's wives or concubines."

Upon hearing this, Liao Xiaoshuang asked in confusion, "The younger sister of one of the king's wives or concubines?"

Lu Zhengze continued, "Yes, she probably came here to find her sister."

Hearing Lu Zhengze's words, Liao Xiaoshuang breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't here to cause trouble, that was fine. But billions of years had passed before he came here to look for his sister. How could he possibly find her?

Perhaps this woman felt that her sister had perished in the Chaos Sea, and she had come here to mourn her.

But whatever the reason this woman came here, as long as they don't attack them, they can do whatever they want.

Finally, after standing on the city wall for a while, the white-haired woman came down and found an inn to stay in. Lu Zhengze immediately sent someone to tell the innkeeper that all the white-haired woman's expenses would be charged to the city lord's mansion.

The innkeeper wasn't stupid; he could sense the woman's strength, so he arranged the best for her in terms of food and lodging.

The white-haired woman stayed there for several months. She ate every day and behaved in a way that was neither like an immortal nor like a celestial king.

The white-haired woman would occasionally go to the city tower to gaze at the chaotic sea, as if she were waiting for her sister to return.

One night.

A bright shooting star streaked across the sky.

The people of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm were already used to such things. If a meteor streaked across the sky, it meant either an immortal had fallen or someone had lost a fight and was fleeing.

However, the meteor crashed directly into the city lord's mansion. Lu Zhengze, who was preparing to have his wife find a successor, heard the commotion outside and immediately got out of bed. He thought that someone had offended the white-haired woman and that she was angry.

After Lu Zhengze got up, Liao Xiaoshuang also quickly got up. The two of them went to the training ground of the city lord's mansion. At this time, the training ground was already surrounded by guards. They held swords in their hands and looked at the big pit in front of them with vigilance.

Seeing the large crater emitting white mist not far away, Lu Zhengze breathed a slight sigh of relief, as long as the white-haired woman hadn't gotten angry.

Then he raised his hand, and the white mist in the pit instantly dissipated. The moment the white mist disappeared, Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang were stunned.

When the soldiers of the city lord's mansion saw that there was actually someone in the pit, they became even more vigilant, thinking that this person had come to assassinate their city lord.

"Who goes there!"

Hearing a sound, Lu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings.

At this moment, his gaze fell on Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang. Both of them looked to be middle-aged, and Lu Zhengze had a long beard on his face.

However, the moment Lu Chen saw the two of them, he felt as if he were seeing a naive young man and a cute girl with pigtails who only knew how to act cute all day.

Lu Chen tentatively called out, "Xiao Ze? Xiao Shuang?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion were about to shout a reprimand when Lu Zhengze spoke up, shouting, "All of you, stand back! Leave the training ground!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the soldiers quickly withdrew and left the training ground.

After the soldiers from the city lord's mansion left, Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang approached Lu Chen shakily, somewhat unable to believe what they were seeing.

Although Lu Chen's cultivation level was clearly inferior to theirs, his appearance and voice remained almost unchanged. They recognized him at a glance as the Prince Chen they had been waiting for.

Lu Zheng tentatively called out in a trembling voice, "Your...Your Majesty?"

Lu Chen said, "It is I, the King."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's affirmative answer, Liao Xiaoshuang's body went limp, and she covered her mouth and nose, sobbing.

They have waited for billions of years. From hundreds of thousands of people at the beginning, only a little over two hundred remain now. They all thought that King Chen and his wives and concubines had long since perished in the Chaos Sea. After all, even the Immortal Emperor could not come out after entering the Chaos Sea.

The Prince of Chen has actually returned alive!

Although his cultivation level had dropped to the Spirit Immortal realm, he had at least returned alive.

Lu Zhengze then knelt on the ground as well, "Your Majesty, you...you've finally come back alive, waaaaah..."

Even Lu Zhengze, a celestial being who had lived for billions of years, couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.

After countless years of waiting, the result has finally come today. Billions of years have passed, and the lifespan of these celestial beings is almost up!

Seeing the two of them with tears streaming down their faces, Lu Chen felt a little ashamed.

After he led hundreds of thousands of people to escape to the Chaos Sea, he had no choice but to risk entering the Chaos Sea. His original idea was that if he could find another continent like the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm in the Chaos Sea, he would come back and bring these people there as well.

Unfortunately, the Chaos Sea is just a sea; there are no other continents suitable for human habitation within it.

Lu Chen asked with a complicated expression, "How many years have passed?"

Lu Zhengze calmed his emotions. "It's been almost 1.9 billion years."

Upon hearing Lu Zhengze's answer, Lu Chen gasped inwardly. Nineteen billion years—even a celestial being's lifespan would be nearing its end by then.

Lu Chen then used the system to identify Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang.

[Name: Lu Zhengze]

[Identity: Lord of White Feather City]

[Strength: Celestial Realm]

Loyalty: 100

……

Name: Liao Xiaoshuang

[Identity: Wife of the Lord of White Feather City]

[Strength: Celestial Realm]

Loyalty: 100

……

The two are currently only celestial beings, which means their time is almost up.

Even a celestial being's lifespan is almost up, so the hundreds of thousands of people he brought with him back then probably have nothing left.

Lu Chen then asked, "Besides the two of you, are there any of the other people who stayed behind?"

Lu Zhengze replied, "Your Majesty, of the people who came to Baiyu City with us, only the two of us remain."

"Some people chose to leave White Feather City midway, and we cannot be sure whether those people are still alive."

Lu Chen sighed and said, "It's better that you left."

To be honest, after billions of years, Lu Chen felt guilty towards those people for not leaving.

At this moment, Lu Zhengze noticed that Lu Chen was alone. He originally wanted to ask where the madam and the others had gone.

However, considering that Lu Chen's strength had greatly declined and that none of the ladies were by his side, Lu Zhengze thought that they had probably all met with misfortune.

After all, the Chaos Sea is a forbidden zone that even Immortal Emperors cannot escape from. Lu Chen's wives and concubines are all weaker than him. If Lu Chen's cultivation level has dropped so drastically, one can imagine what kind of danger his wives and concubines have encountered.

Just then, Lu Zhengze suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is not the place to talk. Please come with me."

As soon as Lu Zhengze finished speaking, he quickly tugged at Liao Xiaoshuang, "Xiaoshuang, get up quickly, don't forget that woman is still here." (End of this chapter)
