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

Upon hearing Lu Zhengze's words, Liao Xiaoshuang seemed to wake from a dream. She quickly got up from the ground and said to Lu Chen with the same nervous expression, "Your Majesty, Baiyu City is not safe now."

Lu Chen was taken aback when he heard Liao Xiaoshuang's reminder.

Not safe?

Could it be that Lu Zhengze and his group offended someone?

However, places like White Feather City, which are close to the Chaos Sea, shouldn't have many powerful figures coming here. Their Celestial Immortal realm is enough to handle most crises.

Could it be that there are still powerful individuals in White Feather City whose strength surpasses that of a Celestial Immortal?

Realizing this possibility, Lu Chen quickly followed Lu Zhengze and the other person to the underground secret chamber of the city lord's mansion, where there was an array.

As soon as they entered the formation, Lu Zhengze activated it, thus completely isolating the sounds inside the formation from the outside world.

After the formation was activated, Lu Zhengze spoke up, saying, "Your Majesty, a white-haired woman came to Baiyu City a few days ago. She has at least the strength of an Immortal King. She said she was from the Xuan Yue Palace and that you abducted her sister back then."

"Although that woman didn't kill us, we could tell from her tone that she harbored hatred towards you. If she finds out that you've returned, she might very well attack you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned.

Seriously? I've been gone for billions of years, and someone's still coming back for revenge?

Xuanyue Palace?

He had never heard of this force before; he had only heard of the Xuan Yue Palace.

If it were Xuan Yue Palace, then the person he abducted would be Yun Qingshu.

When did Yun Qingshu get a younger sister? Yun Qingshu never told him about it.

I never expected to encounter such a big problem as soon as I returned to the Celestial Realm. I am only a Spirit Immortal now, and I am still a step away from becoming an Immortal King, an Earth Immortal, a Celestial Immortal, a True Immortal, a Golden Immortal, and an Immortal Lord.

There's a difference of six realms; even if he burned his divine soul, he probably wouldn't be a match for that woman.

No, he had to leave Baiyu City, this dangerous place, as soon as possible. He couldn't afford to get into trouble so soon after arriving in Baiyu City.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked at Lu Zhengze and said, "Tell me in detail about the situation of the Tianyan Immortal Realm in recent years."

Before leaving Baiyu City, Lu Chen planned to find out what changes had occurred in the entire Tianyan Immortal Domain since he was still an Immortal King.

Lu Zhengze then said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Zheng then told Lu Chen about the changes in power in the Tianyan Immortal Domain over the past billion years, as well as some major events that had recently occurred in the Tianyan Immortal Domain.

After hearing about the situation in the Tianyan Immortal Realm over the years, Lu Chen frowned. He hadn't expected that the situation in the Tianyan Immortal Realm was indeed as the system had described.

Lu Chen then asked, "Didn't those immortal dynasties investigate why people have difficulty conceiving?"

Lu Zhengze replied, "All the major powers have investigated this matter, but none of them have obtained a clear result. The current solution of the major immortal dynasties is to allow mortals to give birth, then raise those mortal children, give them more cultivation resources, and help those mortals become immortals, thereby increasing the number of immortals in the immortal dynasties."

At this point, Lu Zheng sighed and continued, "Even if mortals were allowed to reproduce now, most mortals would still be unable to have offspring. Many mortal cities have gradually disappeared due to population decline."

Upon hearing Lu Zhengze's words, Lu Chen thought to himself, "If even mortals have such difficulty in having children, wouldn't it be very difficult for me to have children as well?"

His system is a "many children, many blessings" system, which greatly increases the difficulty for him to obtain rewards.

Well, let's just take it one step at a time. Fortunately, before he left his wives and concubines, he helped Yun Qingshu get pregnant and obtained the Heavenly Rank Immortal Technique, the Divine Illumination Thousand Lamps Manual.

He didn't have any Heavenly Rank Immortal Techniques before, but he was able to become an Immortal King based on his own talent. Now that he has recovered all his memories from when he was an Immortal King, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to regain his strength and return to the Immortal King realm.

However, the most urgent thing is to leave this place as soon as possible. If that woman in white finds him, he will probably be dead before he even becomes a Celestial King.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang, "Make preparations, we will leave Baiyu City together in a few days."

Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang were his former subordinates. Now that he was leaving, he couldn't leave them here. They had already waited here for billions of years, and he couldn't let them wait any longer.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, if we leave now, it might attract that woman's attention."

"You can leave first, and write to us after you find a place to stay, then we will come over."

The woman in white knew they were former subordinates of King Chen. Although people believed that King Chen and his wives and concubines had perished in the Chaos Sea, if the woman in white believed that King Chen was still alive, she would definitely pay special attention to the whereabouts of his former subordinates.

Once she discovers any signs that they've left, she might become suspicious—that's the worst-case scenario, of course.

However, for Lu Chen's safety, Lu Zheng had to take precautions, even if the possibility was very small.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "That will work. I will leave Baiyu City tonight."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Lu Zhengze immediately took out a map from his spatial ring and said to Lu Chen, "Your Majesty, this is a map showing the changes in power in the Tianyan Immortal Realm over the years."

Lu Chen took the map from Lu Zhengze and glanced at the distribution of forces on it. He ultimately decided to head to Qingyun City, which was closest to Baiyu City, first. He planned to avoid the woman in white and deal with the rest later.

Lu Chen then put away the map and said, "I plan to go to Qingyun City first. You continue to monitor that woman in white. If she makes any moves, inform me immediately."

Lu Zhengze replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Lu Zhengze took out another spatial ring, "Your Majesty, this contains the cultivation resources and spirit crystals we have accumulated over the past billion years."

Seeing the spatial ring on Lu Zhengze's hand, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment. After all, he had made his subordinates wait for billions of years, and now he was asking his subordinates for something. He felt a little embarrassed.

However, Lu Chen eventually accepted the spatial ring from Lu Zhengze. Right now, he was lacking cultivation resources, and he needed to recover to the Immortal King realm as soon as possible.

Only when he breaks through to the Immortal King Realm will he be able to help Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang break through and overcome their life limits.

Now is not the time for sentimentality. After Lu Chen took the spatial ring from Lu Zhengze's hand, Lu Zhengze removed the formation.

Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang escorted Lu Chen to the training ground of the City Lord's Mansion. Lu Chen said, "Alright, that's enough for now. I will send you a message as soon as I arrive in Qingyun City."

At this point, Lu Chen was about to leave when suddenly a terrifying pressure descended.
