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

Time passed day by day; a month later, the incident of Mu Zhengqing driving away the Semi-Saint gradually subsided, and people's debates returned to whether they should actively pledge allegiance to the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor.

Naturally, members of the Skyfire Clan were unwilling to pledge allegiance to the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor; the only one they were loyal to was the Heavenly Emperor.

After spending a month touring the Skyfire World, Lu Chen discovered the influence his past self had in this world, especially among the people of the Skyfire Clan; even young children who had just learned to speak knew of the Heavenly Emperor.

Furthermore, the people of the Skyfire Clan had erected statues of the Heavenly Emperor, and households burned incense for him.

Of course, besides the people of the Skyfire Clan, there were also many ordinary citizens of the Skyfire Dynasty who believed in the Heavenly Emperor, but comparatively, these citizens were not as sincere.

After all, these people had never had any direct interactions with the Heavenly Emperor; their belief was influenced by the Skyfire Clan.

Now, the Heavenly Emperor was not so much a faith for the entire Skyfire Dynasty, but more like a cultural element.

Having completed his tour of the entire Skyfire World, Lu Chen felt there was nothing else to do, so he returned to the Imperial Palace for some more time.

In the Imperial Palace of the Capital city of the Skyfire Dynasty.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on a soft couch, cultivating, while Empress Tianhong stood by watching.

Empress Tianhong had expected that Lu Chen's cultivation might trigger another anomaly, which she could use to continue recovering her Divine Soul Power, but this time, there was no anomaly during Lu Chen's cultivation.

This puzzled Empress Tianhong; previously, anomalies appeared whenever Lu Chen cultivated in the Feihong Immortal Boat, so why not this time?

She had thought that whenever Lu Chen actively cultivated, anomalies would appear; could it be that such anomalies only occurred in the Feihong Immortal Boat?

Empress Tianhong did not ponder further; no anomaly meant no anomaly. She had now revived and could practice cultivation independently. Even without Lu Chen, she could restore her Divine Soul, though losing a faster method.

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes, and thought that if he absorbed half of the Qi Fortune of the Skyfire World, it would help one of his consorts conceive a child world.

Upon entering the Skyfire World, Lu Chen had felt a strong affinity from the Heavenly Dao of the Skyfire World, and thought that asking it for half of its Qi Fortune would be feasible.

However...

Lu Chen quickly realized that absorbing half of the Qi Fortune of the Skyfire World at such a critical moment would not bode well for the Skyfire World.

The Skyfire World was already in a precarious state, and with Qi Fortune diminished, it would encounter even more troubles.

Thinking this, Lu Chen dismissed the idea.

If that was the case, there was no need for him to stay in the Skyfire World; it was time to return.

Thus, Lu Chen telepathically said to Mu Qinglan, "Lan'er, I'm planning to go back. Inform the Fire Emperor and the others."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's message, Mu Qinglan immediately relayed the news to Mu Zhengqing. Before long, Mu Zhengqing and Mu Chengwang, along with some elders of the Royal Family, appeared in the courtyard.

In recent days, Mu Zhengqing had informed the important members of the Royal Family about the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. After all, the Royal Family had been dissatisfied with Mu Zhengqing for bringing outsiders into the Skyfire World, fearing that he intended to ally with the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor.

The stability of the Royal Family was crucial, and as Mu Zhengqing had anticipated, after these members heard that the Heavenly Emperor was still alive, none of them contradicted Mu Zhengqing any further.

Feeling the presence of people in the courtyard, Lu Chen spoke indifferently, "Come in, everyone."

As his voice fell, the palace doors opened, and Mu Zhengqing, accompanied by various members of the Royal Family, entered the grand hall.

Upon entering the grand hall, everyone simultaneously exclaimed: "Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor!!!"

Lu Chen nodded, "Dispense with the formalities."

Lu Chen glanced over everyone and then said, "I plan to leave the Skyfire World, if anything comes up later, you can send someone directly to the Chaotic Star Sea."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhengqing sighed inwardly. The Heavenly Emperor had only been here for just over a month and was already planning to leave. He had hoped that the Heavenly Emperor would stay for a longer period, as it would help him stabilize the members of the Royal Family.

However, Mu Zhengqing was not too depressed, with that Transmission Array in the Imperial Mausoleum, it would be very easy to go to the Chaotic Star Sea in the future, and the Heavenly Emperor could also use it to come to the Skyfire World anytime.

With the Transmission Array, the Heavenly Emperor's visits to the Skyfire World would certainly increase.

As he said this, Lu Chen thought of something and then turned to Mu Zhengqing, saying, "The situation in the Skyfire World is not good. You can send someone to show some loyalty to the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor's vassal forces."

Hearing this, Mu Zhengqing was startled for a moment. He had also thought of feigning loyalty to the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor, but the people of the Skyfire Clan would definitely not agree, and the first to object would naturally be the members of the Royal Family.

If he really did so, what would await the Skyfire Dynasty was likely only division. But now it was different, as the Heavenly Emperor himself had spoken. Even if he did so, the members of the Royal Family present couldn't say much anymore.

The Heavenly Emperor had just reincarnated and indeed needed to lay low. Only when the Heavenly Emperor regained his strength, would they have the means to contend with the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor.

At this point, Lu Chen got up from the couch, "Alright, let it be so, I will return to the Chaotic Star Sea first."

Mu Zhengqing hurriedly led the etiquette, saying, "We see off the Heavenly Emperor!"

Following that, the figures of Lu Chen and Empress Tianhong disappeared on the spot, arriving in front of the Transmission Array at the Imperial Mausoleum, where Empress Tianhong was already waiting.

When Lu Chen left, the members of the Royal Family couldn't help but sigh.

"If only the strength of the Skyfire Dynasty was stronger!"

"If we were more powerful, we could support His Majesty more and wouldn't have to embarrassingly feign loyalty to the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor."

"If this gets out, it will surely cause dissatisfaction among our clan members."

"Alas, now we can only hope that His Majesty quickly recovers his cultivation state."

Hearing the voices from the grand hall, Mu Zhengqing spoke, "You all need not worry too much. Even if the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor gains the chance to break through to Great Emperor, without a few thousand years, it is difficult to become an Emperor. Considering the speed of His Majesty's recovery, maybe he would regain his cultivation state before the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor becomes a Great Emperor."

"We just need to wait for the Heavenly Emperor to recover his cultivation state."

Mu Zhengqing had already thought it through. For the entire Imperial Mountain Star Region, pledging loyalty to the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor and becoming his vassal force was the inevitable trend.

The Skyfire Dynasty just needs to release some news about pledging loyalty to the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor, and the forces in the Imperial Mountain Star Region would think that the Skyfire Dynasty could no longer withstand the pressure and chose to pledge loyalty.

After all, once the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor breaks through, he will be the only Great Emperor in the Imperial Mountain Star Region, no one or force there would dare to defy him.

This way, those vassal forces of the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor wouldn't do anything to the Skyfire World.

Of course, this might be hard for the people of the Skyfire Clan to endure, but as long as the Imperial Court doesn't directly decree loyalty to the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor and maintains a vague stance, pacifying the people of the Skyfire Clan won't be too problematic, and everything else can wait until the Heavenly Emperor recovers his cultivation state.
