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

Lu Chen chatted with Zhuge Zhongguang a lot in the study, and Zhuge Zhongguang's words made Lu Chen realize that many things couldn't simply be as he wished.

When he appeared in this world, he had already become part of its historical process, and he would inevitably be propelled forward by the wheels of history.

The moment he took out the firearms and started producing various modern industrial products, even if he didn't want to initiate war, he would still have to face it.

This world would force him to make choices.

Lu Chen quickly came to a realization; after all, he had the system.

Since he had come to this world and acquired the system, that decided he could not lead an ordinary life, he was destined to embark on a great enterprise.

Wanting to live a peaceful life was simple, he thought. Once he eliminated all his enemies and broke through to the Heavenly Human Realm, he would pass the throne to his son, and then he could live peacefully every day.

Lu Chen stopped pondering; he returned to his desk and continued dealing with military affairs.

This time, he did not go to the front lines for the battle. Although he was still somewhat worried, he was, after all, a Prince, and could not possibly do everything personally as before, not just this time, but he reckoned he wouldn't be too involved in future wars either.

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly found his body emitting a golden light, and before he could react, a beam of golden light shot out from his body and pierced into the sky.

The next moment, thick clouds gathered in the sky above Yan County, and when the common people saw this, they instantly remembered the portent they had witnessed over the old city.

Initially, they thought the portent was because Zhuge Zhongguang had broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm. Of course, now people knew this was not a sign of breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm, but no matter what, it meant that North Country had gained another individual even more powerful than a Grandmaster.

At this time, the women in the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion saw that the golden light was coming from the study, so they all went there, wanting to see who had made a breakthrough.

At this moment, Lu Chen entered a mysterious state, feeling as if he had merged with the entire world.

After a while, Lu Chen seemed to hear a voice telling him that once he unified the major dynasties, he would become a Celestial.

A thought struck Lu Chen's heart. Was this the enlightenment that Zhuge Zhongguang had spoken of?

That is to say, was the test for him to become a Celestial the unification of the major dynasties?

Lu Chen pondered for a long time and then asked the system, "System, can I not break through to become a Celestial through cultivation?"

[No, unifying the major dynasties is also a system task. The host must complete this task to continue advancing the Realm through cultivation.] frёewebnoѵēl.com

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "So, is my Realm's stagnation only temporary, and as soon as I overcome this Realm, can I resume cultivation in the original manner?"]

[Yes.]

Lu Chen thought to himself, he truly was being pushed along by this world. Now he had no choice but to wage war even if he didn't want to.

Shortly afterwards, the golden light on Lu Chen's body disappeared, and the portent in the sky above Yan County quickly dissipated as well.

Just then, the voice of a maid rang out from outside the door, "Prince, Commander Qin requests an audience."

Lu Chen said indifferently, "Come in."

Right away, Qin Yushan pushed the door open and entered the study, "Greetings to the Prince!"

After completing the formalities, Qin Yushan glanced at Lu Chen, having seen the golden light himself. With concern, Qin Yushan asked, "Prince, are you alright?"

Lu Chen said indifferently, "This prince is fine, I had a realization just now and have made a breakthrough."

Having said that, Lu Chen looked at Qin Yushan and asked,

"Any recent movements in the Capital?"

Qin Yushan was currently responsible for the intelligence gathering within Great Sum. His seeking Lu Chen meant that something new had happened within the borders of Great Sum.

Qin Yushan immediately handed an envelope to Lu Chen, and at the same time began to report, "Recently, several Seigniors in Great Sum have been assassinated. As soon as those Seigniors died, the Zhao King immediately sent troops to take over their territories with almost no resistance."

Hearing this, Lu Chen said indifferently, "It seems the Great Scholar had guessed correctly; the Zhao King is indeed a pawn of my Imperial Father."

With that, Lu Chen seriously examined the intelligence he held.

Seeing that the report mentioned the old ancestors of Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain entering the Imperial Palace multiple times, Lu Chen thought that those assassinated Seigniors were probably killed by these two forces.

He didn't know what benefits his Imperial Father had offered these two factions to agree to cooperate with the royal family. Those faction heads were truly ruthless, not afraid that later, his Imperial Father would dispose of them once their usefulness ended.

Lu Chen then indifferently told Qin Yushan, "Continue to keep an eye on things."

This intelligence was not very valuable to Lu Chen; he had already roughly guessed what his Imperial Father intended to do through Zhuge Zhongguang's previous analyses—nothing more than to get rid of all the Seigniors in Great Sum and then accomplish a substantial unification.

As for whether his Imperial Father could break through to become a Celestial after the unification of Great Sum, that was something that only the future would tell.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed not to care much about this news, Qin Yushan said, "I shall take my leave."

With that, Qin Yushan turned to leave the study when Lu Chen suddenly remembered something, "Right, pay close attention to the movements of the two old ancestors of Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain. It would be best if you could find out where they have been and where they are planning to go."
