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

Seeing what was happening in the distance, Lu Chen frowned and looked worried.

He was only at the late King Realm, and there must be powerful individuals beyond the King Realm in the borderlands.

With the border barrier now gone, he might not be able to withstand the invasion from various forces, which is troublesome.

He was caught in a dilemma.

He initially had two plans. One plan was to take the important people around him on a flying boat and leave the borderland as soon as the borderland restrictions disappeared.

Another plan was to have the important figures of the Great Zhou Dynasty take refuge in the ancient ruins.

The entrance to the ancient ruins is filled with a strong, eerie power; only the eerie can enter. Once they hide in that small world, the people from other realms may be unable to do anything to them.

But no one can say for sure whether those outsiders will find a way to break through the ancient ruins.

If they can forcibly break open the ancient ruins, they will be like catching a turtle in a jar.

Both the first and second methods carry significant risks.

Even if they use the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat, they may not be able to escape the borderlands.

During this period, as more and more people from other regions entered the borderlands, Lu Chen discovered that not only did he have a flying boat, but those powerful forces from other regions also had flying boats.

Even if his flying boat can travel 100,000 miles a day, they may still encounter foreign forces on their way out of the borderlands.

Just as Lu Chen was pondering what to do next, Wu Yunwan and Xue Linglong flew up into the sky and came to Lu Chen's side.

The two women watched the disappearing barrier in the distance, wondering how to win over Lu Chen.

At this moment, Wu Yunwan spoke up, saying, "The restriction will soon disappear, and the forces from other regions will soon enter the borderlands. What do you plan to do?"

Lu Chen did not answer immediately; his gaze remained fixed on the gradually collapsing barrier in the distance.

At this moment, Xue Linglong invited, "Husband, why don't you come back to the Heavenly Demon Sect with me? With your high talent, you'll definitely become a Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect if you join us."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunwan quickly said, "Don't listen to this witch. Once you join the Heavenly Demon Sect, you'll have no way out."

Xue Linglong chuckled and said, "If he doesn't join the Heavenly Demon Sect, does he intend to go to your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty? Can your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty protect him?"

"Putting aside the possibility that he may possess an ancient inheritance, with his talent alone, if he were to join your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, the forces in the Central Plains would certainly not allow such a prodigy to exist. At that time, all the forces would send people to assassinate him."

Upon hearing Xue Linglong's words, Wu Junwan's face instantly turned cold: "This is none of your business."

In fact, Wu Yunwan understood that Xue Linglong was right. The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty might not be able to protect Lu Chen, as Lu Chen's talent was too terrifying.

Most importantly, Lu Chen may also possess ancient inheritances. Even if it weren't for Lu Chen's talent, the various forces in Zhongzhou would not easily let him go.

If Lu Chen really possesses an ancient inheritance, that would be fine; he could simply hand it over and perhaps save his life.

But if what Lu Chen told her before was true, and there really was no inheritance in the ancient ruins, then Lu Chen would be unable to defend himself. People wouldn't believe Lu Chen's words; they would only think that Lu Chen wanted to monopolize the ancient inheritance.

If Lu Chen cannot produce the ancient inheritance, the various forces in Zhongzhou will definitely try to capture him and then search his soul.

Wu Junwan fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Even if Lu Chen doesn't join the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, he absolutely cannot be allowed to become a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Just as Wu Yunwan was about to say something, Lu Chen suddenly activated his spiritual energy, spreading his voice throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty: "The borderland restriction is about to disappear, and people from other regions will soon enter the borderland. If anyone is unwilling to be enslaved by people from other regions, go to the capital of Great Zhou immediately. You only have three days."

Lu Chen planned to send a group of people into the small world first, and as for other matters, he would take it one step at a time.

He is currently in the late King Realm, and with the Heavenly Tribulation Soil and the Undying Bone, he can temporarily deal with some enemies. As long as the external forces do not send experts above the Saint Realm into the borderlands right away, he should be able to hold out for a while longer.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were thrown into panic, especially the aristocratic families. However, some of these families also harbored wicked intentions.

Some powerful families believe that if they can pledge allegiance to foreign forces early on, they will be considered heroes when those forces arrive in the borderlands.

For a time, undercurrents surged within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A day later, tens of thousands of people gathered outside the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Lu Chen, along with the Prince of Zhennan's family and his wives, concubines, and children, stood on the city tower.

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Are you really planning to send us into the ruins?"

Ji Yunmeng had known about Lu Chen's thoughts for a long time, but she thought that day would not come so soon. However, no one expected that the borderland restriction would disappear so quickly.

Ancient ruins are not suitable for human habitation. Although they are filled with spiritual energy, it is precisely because of this that the lifespan of ordinary people who enter ancient ruins will be greatly reduced.

Lu Chen glanced at the huge crowd outside the city and said, "There's nothing I can do. The restriction disappeared too quickly. I haven't found any other way out yet. I can only let you go in and hide for now. I'll bring you out once I think of a solution."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Pei Shuhua said, "If we enter the ruins, it won't be so easy for us to get out later."

Although Pei Shuhua longed to enter the ancient ruins, she also knew that once outsiders entered the borderlands, their first task would be to find the location of the ruins.

The location of the ancient ruins is public knowledge. When the time comes, all the forces in the Central Plains will gather outside the ruins and surround the entrance. They will be unable to leave the ruins and will be captured if they try to go out.

Pei Shuhua continued, "And aren't you afraid that those forces will find a way to break through the entrance to the ruins?"

Lu Chen said, "These are indeed things worth considering, but thinking about them now is pointless."

Lu Chen knew, of course, that they would likely be trapped inside the ruins, but the foreign forces were about to descend upon the borderlands. They couldn't very well lead the borderlands' army to resist the invasion of the foreign forces, could they?

Not only are there few spiritual warriors in the borderlands, but they are also very weak. There are also few strong individuals; he is the only one at the King Realm.

With such limited strength, it's impossible to stop the invasion of foreign forces. It's necessary to temporarily avoid confrontation and protect our own people first.

Lu Chen then said, "Alright, now that we're almost ready, let's set off."

Lu Chen then flew up from the city wall, and with a wave of his hand, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat appeared outside the city.

Everyone present was stunned when they saw the enormous flying ship.

At this moment, Lu Chen said to the people, "Let's begin boarding now."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat lowered three staircases, each several hundred feet long and several dozen feet wide.

The people outside the city quickly came to their senses and immediately began climbing the ladders in an orderly fashion.

After the people from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the important figures around Lu Chen boarded the flying boat, Lu Chen immediately steered the flying boat toward the entrance of the ancient ruins.
