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

Nowadays, the War Dragon Army relies on flying boats for combat, and with the speed of flying boats, they can reach the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty in less than a day.

Lu Chen believed that the emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty was a smart man and knew what to do at this time.

If the Chu Emperor is sensible, then all members of the Chu Dynasty's royal family will survive. But if the Chu Emperor insists on resisting, then the Chu royal family will only face destruction.

After Lu Chen made arrangements for the military operation, he planned to go to Nangong Yuehua's room to see her. However, at that moment, a Jinyiwei soldier entered the study and said, "Your Majesty, the elders and disciples of the Tianji Pavilion have arrived in Black Moon City."

After dealing with the matters of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Shao Yuanjia immediately brought the elders and some outstanding disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to Black Moon City.

Upon hearing the words of the Embroidered Uniform Guard soldier, Lu Chen raised his hand as if to give some instructions, when a maid entered the study and said, "Your Majesty, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion requests an audience."

Lu Chen lowered his hand and said, "Never mind, let Shao Yuanjia in."

"Yes."

Soon, Shao Yuanjia arrived at the study. "This humble subject pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen said, "From now on, stop blaming the people. You are no longer members of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and the release of the Heavenly Demon is no longer your concern."

Shao Yuanjia quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen continued, "Now that you have pledged allegiance to me, I cannot let you sit idle and waste your abilities."

"I intend to create a new institution called the Imperial Observatory, and you will be its first Director."

"The main responsibility of the Imperial Observatory is to deduce celestial events and predict the crises that the Great Xia army may encounter in advance."

Although Shao Yuanjia and his fellow members of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion couldn't predict the life of the chosen one, they could still foresee the dangers the Great Xia army might encounter, using the Great Xia army as their target.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Shao Yuanjia knelt on the ground with immense excitement and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

Lu Chen then continued, "Did you bring those historical materials from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"

Shao Yuanjia replied, "Your Majesty, we brought them all; they are still on the flying boat."

Lu Chen said, "Take me to see this."

Shao Yuanjia immediately said, "Please come with me, Your Majesty."

Following that, led by Shao Yuanjia, Lu Chen arrived at one of the flying boats of the Tianji Pavilion.

Inside the flying boat's cabin, countless scrolls and books were piled up, most of them containing cultivation techniques.

Lu Chen wasn't particularly interested in those cultivation techniques; he mainly wanted to see if the Tianji Pavilion's historical records contained any information about other worlds.

He then asked Shao Yuanjia, "Which of these books are about other worlds?"

Shao Yuanjia replied, "Your Majesty, the scrolls on the last row of bookshelves contain records of other worlds."

Lu Chen glanced at the scrolls. They were either made of bamboo or animal fur. It was clear that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was established in this world very early, back when the Purple Sun World didn't even have paper.

Lu Chen then went to the last row of bookshelves, picked up a scroll, and began to read it carefully. After reading the contents of the scroll, Lu Chen was slightly surprised.

It turns out that the so-called Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is not just a force in the Ziyang World. The founder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in the Ziyang World came from a higher cultivation world and was a disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in the higher cultivation world.

The disciple came to the Ziyang World to establish the Tianji Pavilion with a mission, but only he knew what that mission was.

Unfortunately, the first head of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had limited talent, and coupled with his years of spying on heavenly secrets, he passed away not long afterward.

Lu Chen then looked through more scrolls and gradually figured out some of the situations at Tianji Pavilion.

The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is a vast power in the universe, with branches in many worlds. According to the records of the first Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master in the Ziyang World, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion seems to be searching for someone.

When the first head of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion came to the Purple Sun World, his master gave him some instructions, but he did not write them down, as if he could not let too many people know.

Lu Chen chuckled. This was indeed in line with the style of those fortune tellers, putting on airs and making a fuss.

He wrote down everything about the missions the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had, but he didn't write them all down. So why did he write all that stuff?

Seeing that Lu Chen's expression was a bit off and he seemed somewhat displeased, Shao Yuanjia cautiously asked from the side, "Your Majesty, if there is anything wrong with these scrolls, I will have them destroyed immediately."

Lu Chen snapped out of his reverie and put the scroll back on the bookshelf. "It's just some historical records. What could be wrong with that?"

As he spoke, Lu Chen took another scroll from another bookshelf and opened it to read again.

Upon seeing the contents of the scroll, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. The scroll revealed that the actual person in charge of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was not the Pavilion Master, but the Holy Maiden, also known as the Heavenly Mystery Woman.

The scroll records that the Heavenly Mystery Woman's predictive abilities were so powerful that she could see what would happen in the previous era and the next.

Lu Chen was utterly shocked. This was terrifying?

This Heavenly Mystery Woman is probably an existence surpassing even the Great Emperor.

However, the scroll then mentions that while the Celestial Maiden possesses such abilities, she does not easily deduce matters from other eras. This is because the backlash from deducing other eras could cause her to disappear. This disappearance is not death, but rather a complete vanishing from the void. Everything in the world related to her would cease to exist, and only she would know the results of her deductions. She also cannot tell others about matters from other eras.

Just as Lu Chen was engrossed in reading, the last line of text on the scroll left him speechless.

"The above content is all hearsay; I only heard it from my master."

Lu Chen then rolled up the scroll and put it back on the bookshelf. The first Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in the Ziyang World was really bored. What was the point of recording the rumors?

Lu Chen then looked at more reels, and before he knew it, half a day had passed.

Lu Chen glanced around and found that there were many scrolls on the bookshelf. Although much of what was recorded on these scrolls was just hearsay, it still allowed him to learn more about this universe.

This enriched his worldview in this world, so it was somewhat useful.

Lu Chen then said to Shao Yuanjia, "Move all these historical materials to the Black Moon City Lord's Mansion."

Shao Yuanjia immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen teleported away from the flying boat and arrived at the courtyard where Nangong Yuehua was.

At this moment, Nangong Yuehua stood by the window of the room, looking up at the War Dragon Army flying ships heading towards the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty in the distance, seemingly pondering something.

The next moment, she sensed a presence in the room. She turned her head and saw that it was Lu Chen.

Nangong Yuehua immediately said, "Greetings... Your Majesty."

Nangong Yuehua spoke with great reluctance, and her bow was also forced. After all, she herself was an empress, and in the past, she had always been high above others, with others bowing to her. Now, however, she had to bow to another emperor, and for a moment, she couldn't quite adjust to her new identity.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen glanced at Nangong Yuehua's information card.

It was discovered that Nangong Yuehua had indeed come for the Saint-level cultivation technique, but this was only a secondary objective. Nangong Yuehua's true goal was to compete with Nangong Qingya for control of this world. (End of Chapter)
