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

Lu Chen's body swiftly soared into the sky like an arrow, reaching the same height as Chu Zhengyu, with an aura faintly fluctuating around him and his clothes fluttering in the void.

He gazed directly at Chu Zhengyu and said, "I am not some Beast Guard; I just want to know what the situation is outside."

Seeing that Lu Chen, after obtaining such formidable strength, still maintained restraint without any intention of attacking, Chu Zhengyu slightly narrowed his eyes, starting to somewhat believe what Lu Chen was saying.

If these people were truly Beast Guards, with power similar to his own, there would be no pretense; they would attack him without hesitation, not wasting any words.

After all, the duty of a Beast Guard is to mercilessly eliminate all intruders.

After a moment of silence, Chu Zhengyu said, "Since you claim to be from the outside world, how could you not know what it's like outside?" A hint of doubt and scrutinization was in his voice.

Lu Chen's brow slightly furrowed, showing a trace of helplessness on his face, "I have reincarnated several times in this world, losing many memories."

Hearing this, a flash of understanding crossed Chu Zhengyu's eyes. So, it was reincarnation with memory loss. He continued to ask, "How much memory about the outside world do you still have?" His gaze fixed on Lu Chen as if trying to discern something from his expression.

Lu Chen shook his head slightly and replied, "I know nothing." A trace of confusion and loss was evident in his expression.

Chu Zhengyu was slightly taken aback and said directly, "Forget it, seeing as you refrained from attacking me, I don't mind wasting some time to tell you about the outside world." As he spoke, he lifted his chin slightly, a touch of arrogance in his demeanor.

"You are currently inside the body of a Chaos Beast, and outside the Chaos Beast is an endless Chaotic Sea; once cultivators enter the Chaotic Sea, it's almost impossible to survive."

Chu Zhengyu paused slightly here, glancing at the surrounding dim space, as if seeing through it to the Chaotic Sea outside.

"Therefore, most cultivators choose to hide inside the Chaos Beast's body. But within the body, there are Beast Guards who attack us outsiders."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer flashed in Lu Chen's eyes as he suddenly thought of the Cross-border Stone rewarded by the system, realizing its intended purpose.

It must be to leave the Chaotic Sea.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Chen quickly asked, "What's outside the Chaotic Sea?" His voice tinged with urgency, body leaning slightly forward, gaze fixed firmly on Chu Zhengyu.

Seeing Lu Chen's urgency, Chu Zhengyu chuckled and said, "Why rush? For now, you should think about how to escape the Chaos Beast's body." His laughter bore a hint of teasing, eyes playful.

"If a cultivator fails to leave the Chaos Beast's body, they either become assimilated into a Beast Guard, get killed by one, or get refined by the Chaos Beast." As Chu Zhengyu spoke, he slightly furrowed his brows, a trace of seriousness on his face.

Lu Chen fell silent for a moment, then said, "Didn't you say it's almost impossible to survive in the Chaotic Sea? Then escaping from the Chaos Beast's body is also a dead end, right?" His voice carried a note of doubt.

Chu Zhengyu shook his head slightly, "That's true, but it's better than being refined by the Chaos Beast, and we might find a way to survive. Staying inside the Chaos Beast's body is just waiting for death." His voice brimmed with determination and hope.

Hearing this, Lu Chen found some sense in it as well. He had reincarnated in the Chaos Beast's belly countless times without finding a way out of this world, even losing his previous memories.

If he continued reincarnating like this, one day he might completely forget his past memories, truly becoming a native inside the Chaos Beast's belly.

Moreover, without memories of his past life, he might not even be able to reincarnate again.

Thinking of this possibility sent a chill down Lu Chen's spine. If a day came when he couldn't recall his memories from past lives, it would be challenging to grow stronger, leaving him unable to survive the Era Tribulation and ultimately meeting his demise.

The fact that he survived till now proved he had evaded countless Era Tribulations.

Recalling Xuan Tian's words, a grand conspiracy against him emerged in Lu Chen's mind.

Since he had memories of Earth and had read many novels, he was sensitive to such matters, suspecting that Xuan Tian might be his enemy. Unable to kill him, Xuan Tian could be using the Chaos Beast to eliminate him. Since Xuan Tian mentioned it was time to end, surely Xuan Tian would deploy some tactics against him, prompting Lu Chen to proceed cautiously.

While Lu Chen pondered this, Chu Zhengyu spoke, "I've told you about your predicament, now it's your turn to answer some questions." His voice held a note of seriousness.

Lu Chen was slightly taken aback, "What questions?"

Chu Zhengyu directly asked, "Who is this Heavenly Mystery Maiden you mentioned?" His gaze fixed firmly on Lu Chen, eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

After a brief contemplation, Lu Chen replied, "She is a woman very skilled in Deduction Technique, able to predict the arrival of the Era Tribulation. However, she is rather mysterious; I haven't met her, only heard about her."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Chu Zhengyu fell into silence. He thought to himself, being skilled in Deduction Technique matches well.

But... if he enters the Chaos Beast's stomach, it would be very challenging to escape then.

With this thought, Chu Zhengyu continued, "Besides Deduction Technique, she must be immensely powerful, right? What do you think her strength is?" A hint of anticipation and tension danced in his voice.

Lu Chen slightly furrowed his brows, "Perhaps very strong; I haven't seen her, so I can't judge her exact strength. However, she managed to spread news of the Era Tribulation across the entire universe, illustrating she isn't weak."

Chu Zhengyu thought, if her strength is also immense, it likely really is their Nine Heavens Institute's Heavenly Girl.

Their Heavenly Girl once mentioned going to the Chaos Beast's stomach, perhaps finding a way to escape the Chaotic Sea there.

After taking a quick measure of Lu Chen again, Chu Zhengyu said, "If you truly come from the outer world, there's no need for us to fight; we share a common enemy." His tone carried an air of friendliness and cooperation.

"You can take me to your universe; I want to meet the Heavenly Mystery Maiden you mentioned." His gaze was filled with anticipation and determination.

Lu Chen agreed without hesitation, "Alright."

After all, Chu Zhengyu came from outside; getting along well with him could lead to a better understanding of the happenings in the outside world.

For instance, what's outside the Chaotic Sea—Lu Chen needed to learn about these things.

But just as Lu Chen prepared to dismantle the Spirit Gathering Array and take Chu Zhengyu back to their universe, his other clone still in the Outer Domain suddenly discovered that their transmission channel had been closed.

This meant they presently couldn't use the transmission channel to return to their universe, the Chaos Beast's stomach.

Lu Chen was slightly surprised, turning to Empress Tianhong, "The transmission channel is closed. How did you leave the Outer Domain back then?"

Empress Tianhong said coldly, "Follow me." Her voice as icy as frost, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. The moment she finished speaking, she turned to lead the way for Lu Chen.

Chu Zhengyu understood what Empress Tianhong said earlier. She, too, might have come from the outside world? However, her power, similar to the man in front of him, originated with the Chaos Beast, indicating she had already been assimilated.

Suddenly, Chu Zhengyu felt a worry surge within him. If their Heavenly Girl went into the Chaos Beast's stomach, could she also have been assimilated by it? If so, it would be troubling. His brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of concern appeared on his face.
