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

As the baby's cries echoed in the room, Lu Chen's last child, created as a reward from the system, was finally born.

After the system upgrade, he and his wives and concubines only needed to create children, so he no longer needed to have children for the sake of rewards.

Of course, if one of his wives or concubines wanted a child, he could consider it. However, the system said that having a child would take away his luck and bloodline power. Although he could not feel these two things now, he was still somewhat wary.

Lu Chen held the baby in his arms and examined him carefully. He still couldn't understand why the system said that having a child would take away his luck and bloodline power, since the child looked quite ordinary.

Is the bloodline of the Divine Martial Emperor so special?

The Divine Martial Emperor himself had so many children; wouldn't his fortune and bloodline power have been diverted from him?

Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, the system notification sounded.

"The host's guess is correct. The Divine Martial Emperor did indeed have his fortune and bloodline power divided because of his offspring. The reason he reproduced was because his lifespan was coming to an end, and he needed a new body to possess in order to circumvent the laws of the universe."

Upon hearing the system's words, Lu Chen wondered to himself, "Logically speaking, I was killed by the Divine Martial Emperor in my previous life, and I have already been reincarnated. Why do I still possess the same bloodline as the Divine Martial Emperor?"

The system replied, "Because the host's soul was imprisoned in the Soul Pearl by the Divine Martial Emperor, and the Soul Pearl contains the Divine Martial Emperor's essence and blood. The host's body was conceived from the Divine Martial Emperor's essence and blood."

Lu Chen continued, "When my mother conceived me, she must have used the essence of my father's blood from this life, right? What role did my father play in that life?"

The system replied: "The essence and blood of the Xia Emperor only helped you to form your physical body, while the essence and blood of the Great Emperor still flow in your body."

Upon hearing the system's reply, Lu Chen suddenly felt that his father in this life was truly miserable, just like an honest person in modern times.

Lu Chen continued, "If one day I become powerful enough to abandon this physical body, will I be able to have children freely, no longer affected by the bloodline of the Divine Martial Emperor?"

The system replied, "Only by breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm can the host completely rid himself of the influence of the Divine Martial Emperor's bloodline."

After receiving a positive reply from the system, Lu Chen felt relieved. Although he might not want to have children now, many of his wives and concubines were childless. If one day they wanted children, but he was affected by the bloodline of the Divine Martial Emperor and could not have offspring, wouldn't that break their hearts?

As long as we can get rid of the influence of the Divine Martial Emperor's bloodline, that will be fine.

Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, Bai Qingqing's voice came, "Your Majesty, could you bestow a name upon the child?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "From now on, let's call him Lu Xinhui."

Xin Hui represents new brilliance and new glory, signifying the splendor brought by a new beginning.

This is the last child created under the system's control. From now on, it will be a new beginning. Lu Chen believes that one day he will find out who is behind the system and he will break free from its control.

Lu Chen glanced to his right and saw that the system notification had been issued. He then placed the child in Bai Qingqing's arms.

After Bai Qingqing took the child, a smile appeared on her face again—the loving smile a mother shows when looking at her child.

Lu Chen then said to Bai Qingqing, "Xiao Bai, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. Please use the Rejuvenating Hand technique to strengthen Hui'er's body."

Bai Qingqing said, "I understand, Your Majesty. Please go about your business."

Lu Chen then teleported away from his original spot and arrived at the Imperial Study. Upon entering the Imperial Study, Lu Chen opened the system interface.

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring an offspring. Reward: 1000 sets of Holy Radiance Armor.]

Upon seeing this reward, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback. Battle armor?

Not power?

Not knowing what the Holy Light Armor was for, Lu Chen clicked on "Holy Light Armor" again, wanting to see its specific functions.

[Holy Radiance Armor: Profound-grade armor. Wearing this armor can increase one's strength by up to one major realm and can withstand most attacks.]

After seeing the effects of the Holy Radiance Armor, Lu Chen thought to himself, if he gave these thousand sets of Holy Radiance Armor to cultivators in the Celestial Realm, wouldn't that be equivalent to having a thousand Creation Realm experts?

I never expected that this last child would bring me such a wonderful reward.

Of course, he doesn't currently have a thousand Celestial Realm subordinates. Only after the restrictions on the Misty World disappear and the Celestial Realm disciples of the Myriad Immortals Sect enter the Heavenly Chen World will his thousand sets of Holy Radiance Armor be able to play their greatest role.

……

The world of falling suns.

Yunyan Sect.

At the mountaintop, a woman dressed in white gazed at a distant pavilion.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a cool and aloof demeanor, like a snow lotus on an iceberg.

At that moment, the woman's body suddenly trembled.

A strange feeling welled up in her heart, and a blush instantly appeared on the woman's cold face, followed by a look of anger.

"How dare you defile the purity of my secondary body! I will tear you to pieces!"

The woman then used her tracking technique to try to find the exact location of her secondary body, but at that moment, her connection with her secondary body was lost again.

Liu Qingyun frowned slightly, finding it hard to understand what force had severed her connection with her secondary body.

She is now a demigod, and as long as her clone does not leave this universe, she should be able to sense it no matter what world it is in.

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Qingyun immediately transmitted her voice to everyone in the Yunyan Sect, "All elders, end your seclusion, put down your current tasks, and proceed to the Qingyun Hall immediately. I have an important mission to announce!"

After transmitting her voice, Liu Qingyun coldly said, "No matter who it is, anyone who dares to imprison my secondary body and use it as a furnace, I will surely kill them!"

Although she hadn't pinpointed the location of her secondary body, through the brief moment she had sensed it, she knew that her secondary body was in a world called the Heavenly Chen World.

If we don't know the exact coordinates, we'll send people to find them. As long as they're within this universe, we'll definitely be able to find them.

For a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, she will find the Tianchen World and the villain who imprisoned her second body as a furnace.

In her view, the reason she lost contact with her secondary body must be that the villain who imprisoned her secondary body was afraid that she, the main body, would come looking for her, so he used some kind of secret technique to sever the connection between her and her secondary body.

It doesn't matter anymore. She already knows that her secondary body is in the Tianchen World. As long as she finds the Tianchen World, she will go there in person and deal with that villain herself. Since the other party is afraid that her main body will come looking for her, it proves that the person's strength is not particularly strong.

……

Two years later.

Inside the Fengyun Palace, Lu Chen was playing with his children when suddenly, the sky outside changed color, and the clear blue sky instantly turned dark.

At this moment, a maid rushed into Fengyun Palace, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Consort Chu, she..."

Before the maid could finish speaking, Lu Chen vanished from the spot and appeared in Chu Yuqin's bedroom the next moment.

For the past two years, Lu Chen has been quite concerned about Chu Yuqin's situation. The system said that nurturing a sub-world is different from nurturing a child. Nurturing a sub-world may take more time. Lu Chen has been hoping that the sub-world in Chu Yuqin's body can mature as soon as possible. He really wants to see what the system's sub-world is and what he can get from it.

When the maid mentioned that something had happened to Chu Yuqin, Lu Chen felt that the sub-world was about to mature, so the First World came to Chu Yuqin's palace to check on her condition.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin was lying on the bed, her face pale. Lu Chen quickly came to the bedside and infused her with life energy. After a while, Chu Yuqin felt a little better.

After recovering, Chu Yuqin said weakly, "Chen'er, thank you."

Lu Chen asked directly, "Aunt Chu, how are you feeling now? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Chu Yuqin replied, "I don't know where I feel uncomfortable, it's just that I felt like my soul was being ripped out."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen quickly asked the system, "System, what exactly is going on? Didn't you say that nurturing a small world within my body wouldn't affect my wives and concubines? Why is she experiencing this?"

A system notification tone then sounded.

[Congratulations, host, on the birth of your first sub-world with your wives and concubines. Reward: Sacred Artifact - Time-Space Mirror.]

Upon seeing that the reward he received this time did not belong to any particular faction, Lu Chen immediately clicked on the introduction of the Time-Space Mirror without saying a word, to see what its function was.

[Time-Space Mirror: A sacred artifact capable of communicating with any world and interacting face-to-face with people from other worlds. When the user's strength reaches the Myriad Laws Realm, they can use the Time-Space Mirror to descend their consciousness into other worlds.]

Upon seeing the function of the Time-Space Mirror, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. With the Time-Space Mirror, wouldn't he be able to directly contact the Black Dragon Holy Land? Then he would be able to make some arrangements in advance.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately took out the Time-Space Mirror and said to the system, "System, can I contact the people of the Black Dragon Holy Land through the Time-Space Mirror?"

The system replied, "The host only needs to channel spiritual energy into the Time-Space Mirror, and then they will understand how to use it."

Without hesitation, Lu Chen poured his spiritual power into the Time-Space Mirror. The next moment, the Time-Space Mirror emitted a purple light, then detached from Lu Chen's hand and floated into the air.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of purple light shot out from the Time-Space Mirror, passing through Lu Chen's forehead and entering his brain. Lu Chen instantly understood how to control the Time-Space Mirror.

With just a thought, the Time-Space Mirror can automatically search all the worlds in this universe and find the person he wants to contact.

No wonder it's a sacred artifact; its function is incredibly powerful. (End of Chapter)
