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

As time passed, Lu Chen's realm advancement had become increasingly slow, as if he had encountered some kind of bottleneck.

Now, whether he cultivated alone or engaged in dual cultivation, he barely felt any improvement in his realm.

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed, and the three worlds had essentially integrated; the Tianchen World had also become more and more prosperous.

The Tianchen World had entered the industrial era; due to the increased production of Spirit Rice, more and more ordinary people were able to consume it.

For cultivators, Spirit Rice could speed up their cultivation and increase their cultivation state, while for ordinary people who could not cultivate, it also had benefits—it could extend life, and a small amount could satisfy their hunger for several days.

Now, ordinary people almost no longer faced the problem of famine.

Black Dragon City, Imperial Palace.

Lu Chen lay on Yun Xianxian's soft body, feeling her warmth; at this moment, the two were very much in harmony, each feeling the other's heartbeat.

Then Yun Xianxian said, "Selling Spirit Rice to ordinary people—that's something only you would think of."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "To enter the industrial era, we can't let the commoners starve, and now that the production of Spirit Rice has increased, there is no scarcity. Selling some to the ordinary folks isn't bad at all."

The Spirit Rice seeds that the system initially provided to Lu Chen were highly productive, and after numerous plantings, the yield per mu had already exceeded ten thousand catties.

Moreover, Lu Chen had sent people to store up a considerable amount of land in the Lieyan World, a medium-level cultivation world. There, in the cultivation world imbued with abundant Spiritual Energy, the yield of Spirit Rice further increased, and now the storage of Spirit Valley even surpassed that of ordinary rice.

It made more sense to sell this excess food to the common people.

Although the price of Spirit Rice was somewhat higher than that of regular rice, it was very filling. If an ordinary person consumed Spirit Rice all year, the cost of food would even be cheaper than that of ordinary rice.

Lu Chen continued, "Even though the Cultivation World believes in the survival of the fittest, in my world, I don't want to see my subjects unable to feed themselves."

Yun Xianxian said, "There are only so many resources in the Cultivation World; if you take more, others will have less."

Yun Xianxian wasn't completely in favor of the survival of the fittest, but that was just how the Cultivation World was—it wasn't something you could change just because you wanted to. The law of the survival of the fittest couldn't be determined by human will.

Lu Chen responded, "That isn't necessarily true; sometimes people are just too greedy. Look at that Spirit Rice—even though we only sold a small portion to ordinary folks, now in the Tianchen World, Ziyang World, and Lieyan World, ordinary mortals no longer need to fear starvation."

Yun Xianxian said, "Ordinary Spirit Rice doesn't have such high yields."

Lu Chen's Spirit Rice yield far surpassed that of ordinary rice, and the yield of Spirit Rice in the Cultivation World was not even one-tenth of Lu Chen's Spirit Rice. How could it be sold to ordinary people?

Lu Chen smiled and stated, "That is true indeed."

As his voice faded, Lu Chen hugged Yun Xianxian's waist and slowly turned over, placing her atop his body.

At that moment, Yun Xianxian asked, "Does the child world inside me provide a special power that allows my cultivation state to advance very quickly?"

Since the child world inside her had been cultivated, her cultivation state had been rising rapidly. In just one year, she was almost reaching the Returning Ruin Realm.

Yun Xianxian found that power unfamiliar and did not know what it was, but she could feel that it was not harmful to her.

Lu Chen explained, "That is the Origin Power. The child world that we cultivated together can produce some Origin Power to aid in our cultivation."

Hearing these words, Yun Xianxian was slightly stunned.

Origin Power?

As a manifestation of Yun Qingshu, she naturally knew what Origin Power was, though that was all she knew.

Origin Power was the supreme power of this universe. It was rumored in the Ancient Era that once one controlled the Origin Power, it equated to controlling the entire universe and being able to prevent the great calamity.

However, up to the arrival of the great calamity, no one had controlled Origin Power, and eventually, the Ancient Era was destroyed and reset.

Was that power really Origin Power?

No wonder she felt that the Will of the Heavenly Dao in this world seemed somewhat afraid of her. Origin Power contained the supreme laws, which dominated over all other cosmic laws.

And with Origin Power within her, she also suppressed the Heavenly Dao of this world to some extent, hence the Will of the Heavenly Tao was afraid of her.

At this moment, Yun Xianxian once again couldn't help but ask the question she had always wanted to know.

"Lu Chen, I am becoming more and more curious. Who exactly are you?"

For a child world that developed alongside him to generate Origin Power, to produce this universe's supreme power, was utterly unheard of.

Even with all of Yun Qingshu's memories, the origin of Lu Chen still transcended her knowledge.

Acquiring Origin Power through the affairs of men and women—such a claim would be unbelievable to anyone.

Previously, she had always thought that Lu Chen was solely focused on the affairs between men and women, merely knowing dual cultivation. She feared it would be difficult for him to become an emperor. Now it appeared she was too inexperienced.

As Yun Xianxian's voice fell, she slowly rose to her feet, placing her hands on either side of Lu Chen's head, looking down into his eyes.

At this moment, Lu Chen's hands slowly lifted, playfully caressing her body. Yun Xianxian did not mind as she had already grown accustomed to it, besides, they were supposed to be in an intimate state now.

While playing with the object before him, Lu Chen responded, "I actually also don't know who I am."

This…

Yun Xianxian had not expected this to be Lu Chen's answer. How could someone not know who they are?

Yun Xianxian felt a shock in her heart. She herself hadn't known she was Yun Qingshu's manifestation in the past. Could it be that Lu Chen was also the manifestation of some great power?

As Yun Xianxian was pondering this, Lu Chen continued, "My memories have not fully awakened yet. Once I release the seal on my memories, perhaps I will then know who I am."

Lu Chen's response was not evasive; he truly did not know who he was. He clearly remembered his life on Earth, but it turned out his previous existence wasn't an Earthling, but rather the son of Emperor Shenwu.

Now, he was even doubting whether his memories on Earth were false memories instilled by the Sky Evolution Stone during his reincarnation.

If everything on Earth was a lie, then what was the point of the Sky Evolution Stone implanting such false memories in him?

And what about the system?

Lu Chen used to think about these issues, but over the years, he had become too lazy to puzzle it out; whether or not there were conspiracies behind the system, once he grew to a certain extent, he would naturally discover what all this was about.
