Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Xuan Tian had obviously anticipated that Emperor Shenwu would ask this question. He replied unhurriedly, "Those people from the Otherworld all come from subsidiary universes of this universe, and when this universe encounters a catastrophe, they too will face a great calamity."

"Moreover, many of those subsidiary universes have already begun to collapse; that's why they fled to the Outer Domain, hoping to reach our universe through the Outer Domain."

After listening to Xuan Tian's explanation, Emperor Shenwu found it amusing. He did not believe a word of what Xuan Tian said.

The reason was simple: he had fought against those from the Otherworld. Though most of them didn't speak the same language, and he couldn't understand what they were saying, their strength was formidable.

How could such powerful beings from the Otherworld possibly come from a subsidiary universe of theirs?

In principle, the Law of the Main Universe should be more complete, and the powerful individuals born from it should be stronger. How could the average strength of the people from subsidiary universes be superior to that of the Main Universe?

As Emperor Shenwu pondered this, Xuan Tian continued, "These individuals from subsidiary universes are generally the most powerful within those universes, so they appear extremely strong."

"Those of average strength from the Otherworld can't even make it to the Outer Domain."

Upon hearing this, Nirvana Master and Life-saving Empress found some logic in it. After all, since the subsidiary universes had collapsed, survivors with any strength and skills would indeed be the ones who managed to survive.

Emperor Shenwu furrowed his brows and said no more. Xuan Tian's words did provide a plausible explanation for the average strength of the Otherworldly beings. But was it truly as Xuan Tian had said?

Emperor Shenwu remained skeptical of Xuan Tian, and once seeds of doubt were sown, they would continue to grow and flourish.

Of course, Xuan Tian didn't care whether they doubted him or not. To him, Emperor Shenwu and the others were merely tools at his disposal; he continued talking to them only because they still held some value for him.

Another ten years passed swiftly. The Daxia Dynasty expanded throughout the universe using Holy Tier Star Destroyers, and the Dynasty's Qi Fortune grew more abundant. More cultivators of the Daxia Dynasty broke through to become Great Emperors.

For a time, there were Great Emperors in nearly every Star Domain of the Daxia Dynasty. Especially in the Tianchen World, the number of Great Emperors was skyrocketing. Although Lu Chen's Divine Soul did not break through, he could clearly sense the pressure becoming more apparent.

He gradually felt shackles upon himself, confirming some of his internal suspicions.

The Daxia Dynasty's exploration fleet of the Outer Domain finally reached the Outer Domain. Luckily, when the fleet arrived, it didn't scatter as Lu Chen had anticipated; all the Star Destroyers and Great Emperors were intact.

With these Great Emperors present, Lu Chen needn't worry about encountering formidable Otherworldly beings that might be beyond his ability to handle.

At that moment, the Feihong Immortal Boat slowly came to a halt in the void of the Outer Domain. The Outer Domain was entirely different from the Main Universe, featuring a massive landmass. Although the land was ruined, it had a surface.

However, above the Outer Domain was an expanse of true void without any starlight, making the Outer Domain significantly darker than the Main Universe.

The light in the Outer Domain primarily came from certain luminous Crystal Stones scattered across the land. Without these glowing stones, the Outer Domain would be pitch-black.

As with the previous time Lu Chen's clone entered the Outer Domain, his Fourth Layer clone broke through upon entering once more, but only advanced by one layer, stopping at the Fifth Layer without another breakthrough.

Thus, Lu Chen had two Fifth Layer clones in the Outer Domain.

At present, the first clone Lu Chen sent into the Outer Domain had gone deeper into exploration, yet he hadn't encountered a single soul.

Not to mention people from the Otherworld, he hadn't even seen the Great Emperors' Immortal Boats from the Main Universe, as the emptiness of the Outer Domain was beyond imagination.

Lu Chen's clone stood on a Crystal Stone emanating a purple glow, gazing at the distant, dark, desolate land, covered in damp moss. Though the world was barren, it still sustained some life.

Lu Chen was perplexed. Despite having been in the Outer Domain for so long, he hadn't encountered people, let alone living animals or even insects. The world seemed filled only with moss, and the air carried a mossy scent.

Lu Chen used his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings again and still found nothing within the range of his Great Emperor's perception.

At this moment, with Empress Tianhong beneath him, Lu Chen asked, "How did you encounter beings from outside the realm in such a vast expanse?"

"My clone has been in the Outer Domain for so long and hasn't encountered a single living creature, let alone beings from beyond the realm."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the Empress Tianhong, lying on a soft couch, turned her head slightly to glance at Lu Chen behind her and said, "Impossible."

Empress Tianhong recalled her past life in the Outer Domain, where she could encounter beings from the Otherworld in less than half a month. It made no sense for Lu Chen's initial clone in the Outer Domain to meet no living entities after such a long time.

Seeing that Empress Tianhong didn't believe him, Lu Chen said, "You will soon know. My clone indeed encountered nothing during these days. I wanted to find an Otherworldly being to ask about their world."

As Lu Chen finished speaking, Empress Tianhong proactively released her Divine Sense to probe the surroundings and indeed found nothing.

Lu Chen said, "Let's go check elsewhere. Maybe the people in the Outer Domain discovered some supreme treasure and gathered together."

With a gentle raise of her hand, Empress Tianhong directed the Feihong Immortal Boat to fly deeper into the Outer Domain.

During this time in the teleportation passage, Lu Chen had been pressing down on her, which left her quite displeased, and she now needed a battle to release her pent-up frustrations.

...

Somewhere in the Outer Domain.

On the Heavenly Mechanism Hall.

Sensing that Lu Chen's Immortal Boat had completely left the teleportation passage, Xuan Tian immediately stood up.

Seeing Xuan Tian rise, Life-saving Empress quickly asked, "Has Lu Chen's main body arrived in the Outer Domain?"

Xuan Tian replied, "Yes, the plan can now commence."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Tian's aura suddenly surged. In an instant, the oppressive power from Xuan Tian caused the three Ninth Layer Great Emperors present to feel unable to move the Spiritual Power within their bodies.

Emperor Shenwu became more convinced of his suspicions. Xuan Tian truly was a hidden Heavenly Emperor and had been deceiving them all along.

At this time, Xuan Tian's body soared into the air above the continent of the Outer Domain, surrounded by the Law, as if he were the ruler of that world.

Meanwhile, in the Daxia Dynasty of the Main Universe.

Lu Chen's main body was still discussing with Yun Xianxian whether to use forceful measures against Yun Qingshu when he suddenly sensed a massive hand approaching to strike the Daxia Dynasty.
