Chapter 1117 Chu Yunzhi's Worry
As the chaos in the universe intensified, Lu Chen also began to get busy.
Upon seeing the large-scale appearance of the Heavenly Demons, Lu Chen's first thought was that the Immortal Spirit Umbrella could withstand even the Heavenly Emperor's attacks. Given this, he decided to continue hiding under the protection of the Immortal Spirit Umbrella, focusing on helping his wives cultivate, and wait for the Era Tribulation to arrive.
But this idea was soon discarded by Lu Chen. On one hand, he was unsure if there were any women in the universe who met the conditions of the system, and if he stayed within the Daxia Dynasty, he might not find them even if they existed.
Although the Red Flower Sedan occasionally brought some suitable women to him, he had no control over the Red Flower Sedan, and no one could say for sure if it would continue to bring women who met the system's conditions in the future.
Waiting passively seemed somewhat helpless.
Moreover, based on the memories within the Reincarnation Stone, it could be inferred that the women who met the system's conditions were very likely his reincarnation partners from countless past lives.
In his countless past lives, even before the Era Tribulation arrived, he had always searched for those reincarnation partners scattered across the universe.
In this life, with the help of the system, he found many women from his past lives, which was closest to a great reunion. So he planned to go all the way and find all the women who might have close relationships with him.
Perhaps after finding all those women, the mystery of his identity would be completely solved, and he might also learn the origin of the System of Lots of Sons and Lots of Blessings.
In this life, he shouldn't continue playing the nesting dolls game. If he fails to find those reincarnation partners in this life, they might be separated in the next era, and then he would fall into the cycle of searching for reincarnation partners again.
Tianchen World.
Yancheng Imperial Palace.
In the depth of night, on top of the tallest building in the palace, Lu Chen's main body sat on the rooftop, gazing at the galaxy in the sky, sipping on wine, accompanied by two beauties, Liu Qingyun and Chu Yunzhi.
These days, Lu Chen's main body's energy was focused on the two women, now having reached the Fourth Layer Realm of the Great Emperor, his combat power was stronger than all his clones.
For proud women like Liu Qingyun and Chu Yunzhi, naturally, his main body needed to first completely subdue them.
At this moment, Chu Yunzhi asked, "Your Majesty, do you not intend to expand externally? The Heavenly Demons are rampaging, and many empires are heavily damaged. Perhaps now is the time for the Daxia Dynasty to expand."
Recently, Chu Yunzhi discovered that the Daxia Dynasty seemed to have few major movements; the Imperial Court's focus remained mostly on dealing with the Heavenly Demons, with no signs of external expansion.
Upon hearing Chu Yunzhi's words, Lu Chen smiled lightly, put down the wine glass, turned his head to look at Chu Yunzhi, and said, "Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"
Recently Chu Yunzhi had entangled with him daily, with their interaction mostly revolving around matters of dual cultivation, and she hadn't mentioned anything beyond that.
The sudden mention of the Daxia Dynasty's external expansion surprised Lu Chen.
Chu Yunzhi said, "The Heavenly Demons appeared so early on, there's a great possibility the Era Tribulation might come earlier again. If the Daxia Dynasty does not accumulate sufficient Qi Fortune before the Era Tribulation arrives, it may not be able to survive it."
Chu Yunzhi, after all, was the Saintess of the Guiyi Sect; even if she hadn't recovered the memories of her past life, she had some understanding of the Era Tribulation.
According to some historical records left from the Ancient Era, Heavenly Demons only appear in large scale when the Era Tribulation is about to begin.
The Heavenly Mystery Maiden predicted that the Era Tribulation would definitely occur within ten thousand years, a saying quite intriguing.
The tribulation occurring within five thousand years would still be within ten thousand years; occurring within a thousand years is also within ten thousand years; and within five hundred years is similarly within ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years is the ultimate deadline for the tribulation to occur, but no one can precisely say when the Era Tribulation will actually commence.
After hearing Chu Yunzhi's words, Lu Chen poured himself another glass of wine, then stared at the boundless starry sky and said, "You're correct, but we need not rush for now."
"Expansion is necessary, but the time is not yet ripe. We should wait until the universe is in a little bit more chaos."
"Moreover, you needn't worry. The appearance of the Heavenly Demons does not necessarily mean the tribulation has been brought forward again."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Liu Qingyun curiously asked, "Why do you say that?"
According to records left from the Ancient Era, it was always the case that when the Heavenly Demons appeared, the Era Tribulation would soon follow. Anyone with a little understanding of the Ancient Era is aware of this.
Lu Chen raised his wine glass, sipped gently, and answered, "It is merely my speculation, not necessarily correct."
"Heavenly Demons feed on despair and fear. The more chaotic the universe, the more it suits their existence. Every time a tribulation begins, the universe falls into chaos, causing their numbers to surge."
"The Heavenly Mystery Maiden predicted the Era Tribulation in advance, throwing the universe into chaos ahead of time, thus providing a breeding ground for Heavenly Demons, hence their quick and large-scale appearance."
After hearing Lu Chen's conjecture, Chu Yunzhi and Liu Qingyun thought for a moment and found some sense in it, yet it remained a speculation, unverified.
At this time, Lu Chen put down his wine glass, his body surrounded by green spiritual power, then he called upon the Creation Dao to create a dozen Returning Ruin Realm clones.
Upon seeing so many clones appear on the rooftop at once, the two women were momentarily stunned, feeling somewhat anxious.
Lu Chen wouldn't engage in another kind of sandwich game, would he?
While the two women were worried, Lu Chen sent out all the clones. After witnessing the clones vanish, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Chen said, "Speaking of which, we should indeed pay more attention to the situations in the universe."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the two women realized that Lu Chen had created so many clones at once to investigate the status of other forces in the universe.
Just at that moment, Chu Yunzhi's mind suddenly froze, and the Dao Charm emanated from her body involuntarily, with Dao Patterns swirling around her.
Feeling the anomaly in Chu Yunzhi's body, Lu Chen promptly asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Yunzhi didn't immediately respond. She raised her jade hand, supporting her forehead, appearing disoriented.
Lu Chen hurriedly infused her with Life Force, but Chu Yunzhi's symptoms did not alleviate.
A moment later, Chu Yunzhi suddenly lifted her head, her starry eyes sparkling, her complexion revealing a charming blush, exuding the aura of a mature woman.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen wondered, could it be she is about to break through?
Chu Yunzhi's Dao was the Path of Love, and whenever she breakthrough, she needed Lu Chen at her side to assist. Seeing her like this, Lu Chen immediately thought she was on the verge of a breakthrough.
In the next moment, Chu Yunzhi lifted her slender jade arms, wrapping them around Lu Chen's neck, cuddling intimately in Lu Chen's arms, showing a look of seeking affection.
