Lu Chen, who was in the Ziyang World, already knew about Yun Qingshu's visit to Yun Xianxian and that Yun Qingshu had left the Tianchen World.
After Yun Qingshu left, Lu Chen's puppet appeared in Yun Xianxian's room. At that ti, Chen Wanrong had not yet departed. Upon seeing Lu Chen's puppet, Chen Wanrong imdiately said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Lu Chen smiled lightly, "Senior sister, there's no need to be so formal in front of our Honored Master."
Hearing the puppet refer to Chen Wanrong as 'senior sister,' Yun Xianxian snorted softly.
This old cunning fox, possibly even older than her, still had the audacity to call Chen Wanrong 'senior sister,' pretending to be from a lower world and coming to her to beco her disciple.
How shaless!
Yun Xianxian then said, "You should know that woman ca here. Why didn't you let your people take action?"
Yun Xianxian was well aware that when Lu Chen's real body left the Tianchen World, he had left soone with the power of Divinity Transformation Realm there.
If Lu Chen didn't want Yun Qingshu to enter the Tianchen World, that cultivator would surely have taken action. Since they did not, it clearly ant that Yun Qingshu's entry into Tianchen World was permitted by Lu Chen.
Lu Chen, smiling, said, "I just wanted to see if she would keep her word."
Yun Xianxian, in a chilly tone, continued asking, "She just went to see your other wives and concubines. Aren't you afraid she might harm your won?"
Lu Chen said, "If she had taken action, soone naturally would have activated the Formation."
"But speaking of which, I am sowhat curious. What did she co to you for and what did she tell you?"
Yun Xianxian's face remained expressionless as she said, "She didn't say much."
Lu Chen looked at Yun Xianxian skeptically, then controlling the puppet's body, he moved closer to Yun Xianxian and wrapped his arms around her, staring intently into her face.
"Really, she said nothing?"
"She specifically ca to see you. How could she possibly have not said anything?"
Seeing that Lu Chen continued to press, Yun Xianxian was too tired to keep hiding it any longer. She directly said, "She passed on to mories from the ti of the Epoch Calamity during the Ancient Era and advised to persuade you to focus more on your cultivation, to avoid dying before the calamity even arrives."
The Epoch Calamity?
Lu Chen imdiately beca interested.
He was very curious about the Epoch Calamity of the Ancient Era, so he asked, "Since you now possess mories of the Epoch Calamity from the Ancient Era, tell , what exactly is this so-called calamity?"
At this mont, Chen Wanrong, sensing that Yun Xianxian might say sothing important next, imdiately said, "Your Majesty, Honored Master, I will step out now."
As she spoke, Chen Wanrong turned to leave, but as soon as she did, a force pulled her back. In the next instant, her body flew into Lu Chen's arms.
The puppet Lu Chen embraced Chen Wanrong with one arm, and Yun Xianxian with the other.
Yun Xianxian gave Lu Chen a cold look. This guy had just left behind a puppet—it wasn't capable of doing much. What was the need to embrace so tightly?
Lu Chen then said, "Rongrong, you stay and listen as well."
Feeling the hand placed on her waist, Chen Wanrong could only softly "mm-hmm" in agreent, not saying anything more.
Yun Xianxian imdiately said, "The so-called Epoch Calamity is divided into two stages. In the first stage, during the Ancient Era, nurous powerful Heavenly Demons suddenly appeared. These Heavenly Demons preyed on cultivators, devouring the cultivators of the Ancient Era indiscriminately, with even the Great Emperors unable to match them."
Hearing this, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.
Nurous powerful Heavenly Demons appeared suddenly?
It seed that these Heavenly Demons must have co from other universes. Perhaps there was so kind of passage between this universe and others. When the passage opened, those Heavenly Demons ca through.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, "What about the second stage?"
Yun Xianxian replied, "The second stage..."
At this point, Yun Xianxian hesitated, her face turning sowhat pale. She was influenced by Yun Qingshu's mories, and everything Yun Qingshu had seen seed as though she had seen it herself.
Seeing Yun Xianxian's drastic change in expression, Lu Chen couldn't help but think, could the second stage of the calamity be even more terrifying than the first?
What could be more terrifying than "Heavenly Demons at a buffet"?
After collecting herself, Yun Xianxian continued, "The second stage of the great calamity involved countless blood strands suddenly appearing in this universe. These strands absorbed every living being they ca into contact with, sucking out even peoples' divine souls."
"Even those who escaped the Heavenly Demons of the first stage could hardly evade the second stage's blood strands. These strands appeared anywhere in the universe. No matter where people hid, they were found by these strands, turning the universe barren in a very short ti, almost devoid of life."
With this explanation, Yun Xianxian's pupils contracted slightly, her expression filled with imnse fear.
Lu Chen thought, what exactly were those blood strands? Could they really kill all life in the universe?
Being able to appear anywhere in the universe, could it be that the universe itself was cleansing its internal life forms?
Lu Chen suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "Honored Master, besides attacking the beings of this universe, did those blood strands also attack the Heavenly Demons?"
Yun Xianxian answered, "Yes, the Heavenly Demons of the Ancient Era were also eliminated during that ti."
Lu Chen chuckled inwardly. How co he felt as though he already knew the cause of the great calamity?
The universe was like a human body. With the massive invasion of the Heavenly Demons, the universe reacted with a rejection response. To eliminate those Heavenly Demons, the universe began an indiscriminate attack, leading to the second stage.
Those blood strands were likely the universe's way of defending against foreign invaders, but they not only killed the Heavenly Demons, but also the indigenous creatures of the universe.
Of course, all this was just a guess based on Lu Chen's Earthly thinking. Whether it was really the case remained to be seen.
Only when the Epoch Calamity arrived would he possibly understand what exactly was going on.
If his guess was correct, and to survive the second stage of the calamity, they must withstand the first stage of the Heavenly Demon invasion and keep all the Heavenly Demons out of this universe, otherwise the universe might generate those bizarre blood strands again and kill all beings.
Lu Chen raised his hand, gently patted Yun Xianxian's back, and spoke with a smile, "Don't worry, if this era faces another great calamity, I will definitely find a way to get us all through it."
Listening to Lu Chen's comforting words, Yun Xianxian felt much better. After regaining her composure, she said emotionlessly, "With you lounging around won every day, not concentrating on your cultivation, it's questionable whether you can even beco an Emperor, let alone lead us through a great calamity."
Lu Chen said, "Honored Master, rest assured, it's only a matter of ti before I beco an Emperor."
"I haven't yet fathered a child with you, and I want to beco an Emperor even more than you do."
Hearing this, a blush appeared on Yun Xianxian's cold cheeks.
The audacity of this disciple, still thinking about getting her pregnant.
