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

Lu Chen was filled with curiosity about the Guixu Realm expert that Yin Zhengye had mentioned. Although he now possessed the strength of the Guixu Realm, he was not a true Guixu Realm expert.

If he were to face a true expert at the Returning Void Realm, he wouldn't be sure if he could be their match.

"Let's go and take a look first. I am someone who possesses the power of origin, so there's no need to worry too much," Lu Chen said telepathically. "Wait there for me, I'll be right there."

Lu Chen then sensed Yin Zhengye's location, and the next moment, he teleported directly to Yin Zhengye's side.

When Lu Chen appeared, Lie Hongyun was slightly taken aback. Judging from his aura, the young man in front of her was the same man who had communicated with the Heavenly Dao earlier.

Today, Lu Chen was wearing a white outfit with gold trim, looking incredibly handsome and dashing.

Even though Lie Hongyun had seen many handsome and talented young men, she still felt that the man in front of her was particularly outstanding in appearance.

Lie Hongyun was sizing up Lu Chen, and Lu Chen was also sizing up Lie Hongyun. Lu Chen used the system to scan Lie Hongyun's information.

【Name: Lie Hongyun】

[Identity: Reincarnation of the Empress, daughter of the Blazing Emperor, Ninth Princess of the Blazing Flame Dynasty. Currently possessing the strength of the first level of the Returning Void Realm, she is very curious as to why the Xia Emperor was able to intimidate the Heavenly Dao consciousness, and she suspects that the Xia Emperor was also a reincarnation of a Great Emperor.]

Rating: 99

【Favourability: 60】

Upon seeing Lie Hongyun's score of 99, Lu Chen's eyes lit up instantly. However, he quickly realized that Lie Hongyun possessed the strength of the Returning Void Realm and was also the reincarnation of the Empress, so she was probably not easy to fool.

Seeing Lu Chen staring at her, Lie Hongyun felt a pang of displeasure. In her previous life, as an emperor, few dared to stare at her so directly.

Just then, Lu Chen asked the system in his mind, "System, is the so-called empress a female emperor of a certain dynasty, or did she possess the strength of an emperor in her previous life?"

The word "Empress" has multiple interpretations, and he needs to figure out its specific meaning.

The empress and the emperor have different perspectives. Understanding her specific identity in her previous life will make it easier to win her over.

The system then replied, "Female Emperor."

Upon hearing the system's reply, Lu Chen sighed inwardly. "Great Emperor, this is truly a difficult situation."

Now that the other party possesses the strength of the Returning Void Realm, it would be extremely difficult for me to forcibly keep her here.

If force doesn't work, gentle persuasion probably won't work either. After all, she was an emperor in her previous life, and she's seen all sorts of things. If you want to persuade her to stay, you'll probably need some tricks up your sleeve.

After thinking it over, Lu Chen asked directly, "Is the princess planning to leave the Blazing Flame Dynasty?"

Hearing this question, Lie Hongyun felt somewhat puzzled. If he didn't leave the Lieyan Dynasty, was he supposed to stay here and become his female slave?

Lie Hongyun then said, "Now that you control the Blazing Flame World and the Blazing Flame Dynasty is practically destroyed, what am I doing here if I don't leave the Blazing Flame World?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Who said the Blazing Flame Dynasty was destroyed?"

Upon hearing this, Lie Hongyun instantly understood Lu Chen's meaning: "Is Emperor Xia planning to install a puppet emperor?"

Lie Hongyun had already guessed Lu Chen's identity. Although Lu Chen was not wearing a dragon robe, based on the information she had gathered earlier, she could basically guess that the person in front of her was the Xia Emperor.

If Emperor Xia said that the Blazing Flame Dynasty would not be destroyed, then it is highly likely that Emperor Xia wanted to support a puppet emperor to help him control the Blazing Flame World.

This kind of thing is very common in the universe, especially among those high-level dynasties that control dozens of star systems. When they can't manage them all, they will enfeoff countless dynasties and let those dynasties manage them on their behalf.

Clearly, this Xia Emperor is no ordinary person, so he cannot stay in the Chaotic Star Sea, a star region with depleted spiritual energy, forever. He will definitely leave. If that's the case, then the Blazing World will need to find someone to help manage it.

Upon hearing Lie Hongyun's words, Lu Chen said, "As expected of the reincarnation of the Empress, she is indeed quite intelligent."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Lie Hongyun's eyes. She hadn't expected that this person would see through her identity at a glance.

However, Lie Hongyun quickly realized that he himself suspected this man might be the reincarnation of some great emperor, and it seemed normal for him to think that he was the reincarnation of an empress.

Lie Hongyun then said, "The Empress reincarnated? What does Emperor Xia mean by this? I don't understand."

Lu Chen said calmly, "You don't need to act anymore. When I came into contact with you, I sensed that your soul was extremely powerful. Only someone who could be the reincarnation of an emperor could possess such a powerful soul."

Lie Hongyun said, "So, the Xia Emperor is also a reincarnation of some great emperor?"

Because only the Great Emperor can perceive the strength of another Great Emperor's soul, and Lu Chen was able to perceive her soul strength without her noticing, it proves that Lu Chen also possesses an even stronger soul, meaning that Lu Chen was also a Great Emperor in his previous life.

Lu Chen said, "There's nothing to hide. I am indeed the reincarnation of the Great Emperor."

Hearing Lu Chen's affirmative answer, Lie Hongyun thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

However, she then continued, "Since Emperor Xia dares to reveal his identity, does he intend to forcibly detain me?"

Generally speaking, strong reincarnations are very afraid of retribution. After all, they may have had many enemies in their previous lives. If those people knew that they had become so weak after reincarnation, they would definitely try to kill them before they could grow up.

Therefore, most emperors would try their best to conceal their true identity after reincarnation. But now, Emperor Xia actually told her that he was a reincarnated emperor. They were not close people, yet Emperor Xia revealed his biggest secret.

There's only one possibility: the Xia Emperor intends to keep her here by force, which is why he doesn't care at all whether his identity will be revealed.

Upon hearing Lie Hongyun's question, Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, "You possess the strength of the Returning Void Realm. It's impossible to forcibly keep you here. I have no intention of doing so."

Lie Hongyun continued, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell others about your affairs? Do you perhaps believe that I am also the reincarnation of the Great Emperor, so even if you have something on me, it doesn't mean you can't?"

"If that's the case, then you're being too naive. The one who most wants to kill a reincarnated emperor in this world is usually another reincarnated emperor."

The reincarnation of an emperor is usually due to some special reason. For a reincarnated emperor to return to the throne, many things are the same. For a reincarnated emperor, the other reincarnated emperor is a competitor.

Therefore, for the reincarnated emperor, the most dangerous one is actually the reincarnated emperor who shares the same secret.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "I am indeed not worried about these things, because I believe you won't."

Lie Hongyun was stunned. It was the first time she had ever met someone who trusted her so much on their very first meeting. (End of Chapter)
