Lu Chen has become famous. At this time, especially after the recent economic issues that have impacted the entire world, Lu Chen's name has become well-known. No one is unaware of him, the Father of Banknotes and an economic giant.
This is just one of Lu Chen's many titles; he has countless others. At just over twenty years old, he has already made a name for himself and possesses exceptional abilities. He is not only talented but also handsome, making him the object of admiration for countless individuals who dream of marrying someone like Lu Chen.
Even within the Great Zhou Palace, the princesses and noblewomen are discussing Lu Chen, jokingly teasing each other about their crushes or potential suitors, making light-hearted remarks about their feelings.
Of course, Lu Chen is unaware of all this because he is currently preparing for a significant event. What is this event?
Naturally, it involves planning an attack on the Great Zhou Court. After working hard for so long and accumulating resources over the years, it is time to launch a full-scale assault on the Great Zhou Court. There comes a time when action must be taken; it is better to act sooner rather than later, so why not push things along?
This time, Lu Chen's decision is to unite with the Great Qi Dynasty and Korea to form a Three-Way Alliance, attacking the Great Zhou Dynasty from three different directions to dismantle it. The plan is still in its early stages and not yet finalized.
First, Lu Chen wrote letters to Emperor Huangfu Yi of the Great Qi Dynasty and Emperor Chu Mang of Korea, outlining his intentions and the associated benefits. Initially, Sun Zizhao was skeptical about whether they would agree.
After all, given the current chaotic situation, everyone is looking to protect themselves and survive until the end.
Both the Great Qi and Korea dynasties naturally wish to remain uninvolved. If they could first observe a battle between the Daiwa Dynasty and the Great Qi Dynasty that results in mutual destruction, that would be ideal for them. Wouldn't it be better to sit back and reap the benefits?
However, Lu Chen was very confident and dispelled Sun Zizhao's doubts by sending out the letters with assurance that Huangfu Yi and Chu Mang would agree. Of course, given their intelligence, they might not agree outright; however, their advisors would weigh the pros and cons and understand how to leverage the situation to persuade them. They must act accordingly.
If anything were to happen to the Daiwa Dynasty, they would naturally be next in line. The Great Zhou Dynasty is like a dying camel that is still larger than a horse.
With a character like that of the Defender of the Realm, once the Daiwa Dynasty is dealt with, they would lose a formidable enemy. Even under pressure from all officials in court, he would likely take initiative to eliminate both the Great Qi and Korea dynasties; this outcome seems almost inevitable.
Considering the character of the Defender of the Realm and his rationalism combined with his determination in action, Chu Mang and Huangfu Yi—both former royal relatives—would understand this better than anyone else. Therefore, they are likely to agree to Lu Chen's proposal.
After sending out the letters, Lu Chen entered seclusion once again. He had been busy with economic matters recently, overseeing the introduction of new currency into the market without having time to focus on his cultivation until now.
While planning his attack on the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was another important reason behind his thoughts.
That reason was Yuanmo Laozu's arrival. After such a long time, he had finally resolved his issues in the Wasteland Continent and came to join Lu Chen to assist him in overseeing matters and destroying the Great Zhou Dynasty—a private agreement made between him and Lu Chen from earlier on.
It is a private agreement, and in reality, the number of people involved and the lives lost cannot be calculated.
With the Great Zhou Dynasty established, Lu Chen felt more confident in planning the Three-Way Alliance. Moreover, Yuanmo Laozu brought a special fighting force, the warriors of the Ape Demon Clan, towering monsters that were fierce and brutal, charging into battle like weapons.
The batch of Ape Demon Clan warriors brought by Yuanmo Laozu was carefully selected. Initially, when Lu Chen left the Wasteland Continent, he intended to take more with him to assist in establishing Sun Zizhao's endeavors and support his rise to power.
At that time, it was because the Ape Demon Clan had just gone through a great war, and many areas needed reconstruction. Additionally, although they had signed a non-aggression treaty with the Demon Kingdom, who knew if they would renege? Lu Chen refrained from taking more Ape Demon Warriors due to this concern. The Ape Demon Clan was already facing a decline in population, so he left them in the Wasteland Continent to breed, ensuring their numbers would flourish for future prosperity.
Now, after several years of settling down, things have mostly been resolved. The Wasteland Continent has been completely pacified, and it is expected that there will be no significant conflicts between both sides for the next fifty years. This is primarily due to the constraints imposed by previous battles; during Lu Chen's last encounter with Yuanmo Laozu when they pursued the Beast Tide to the administrative center of the Demon Kingdom, Piltover, they forced the Minotaur to sign a treaty.
This event has left a deep impression within the Demon Kingdom; even its beasts have grown weary of war.
Another reason is related to the issue of war resources; logistical support and personnel shortages have prevented both sides from engaging in another major conflict. Thus, it can be anticipated that there will be stability without war or conflict for at least fifty years.
With such guarantees in place, Yuanmo Laozu dared to leave the Wasteland Continent and come to Central Plains to assist Lu Chen in building his enterprise. The number of warriors from the Ape Demon Clan he brought was substantial—around four to five thousand—forming a towering presence that resembled a mountain. Such a powerful fresh force could easily overshadow any other troops.
The terror of the Ape Demon Clan warriors is beyond what ordinary people can imagine; they are bloodthirsty and brutal. Regardless of high mountains or flowing rivers ahead, they charge forward relentlessly, turning any stronghold or fortified structure into ruins as they trample everything flat. This is what defines the warriors of the Ape Demon Clan.
Now that Yuanmo Laozu is stationed in Baiyang City for Lu Chen, he can focus on his own affairs without worry.
Initially, Lu Chen invested considerable effort and resources to help Yuanmo Laozu stabilize the northern part of the Wasteland Continent because he hoped to gain Yuanmo Laozu's support. Now that his goal has been achieved with Yuanmo Laozu's arrival.
Besides being forced into the Wasteland Continent due to pressure from Yuanrong Immortal Island, which left him with nowhere else to go, he also needed Yuanmo Laozu's assistance against the Four Great Ancestors of the Daoist Sect.
Relying solely on Lu Chen and Treasure Guardian Beast—two Void Immortals—was insufficient for contending with the Four Great Ancestors of the Daoist Sect. Especially considering Sun Zizhao's establishment of the Daiwa Dynasty positioned him directly against Despicable forces, including Eastern Shaolin as an arch-enemy.
This does not even account for Western Amitabha Sanctuary; Yenando, the First Buddha of Amitabha Sanctuary, is particularly formidable. However, he has never made his stance clear regarding whom he supports or what his intentions are; he has never revealed himself or his plans. Nevertheless, Lu Chen has factored him into his calculations and thus felt compelled to invite Yuanmo Laozu.
Of course, with just Lu Chen and Treasure Guardian Beast alone, it would not be enough to confront all nations under Daiwa Dynasty’s influence. Therefore, he must find ways to strengthen himself and expand his forces if he hopes to rise.
Now, Yuanmo Laozu is helping Lu Chen take charge of Baiyang City, and he immediately feels at ease and enters seclusion, fully focused on breaking through to the Virtual Immortal First Level.
The Void Immortal is a mysterious realm within the ten levels of the Yin Immortal. Each level has its own special effects and experiences, which can only be truly understood by those who have personally gone through it.
One of the main reasons Lu Chen sought fame and accomplished so many important tasks was to build momentum for himself. Only by accumulating significant momentum and reputation, gaining the support of the masses, could he have the capital to advance; this is his own understanding.
For an ordinary Yin God Practitioner, entering the Void Immortal realm is already quite difficult. To progress further within the Void Immortal realm, most rely on their own hard work, secluding themselves in deep mountains to practice diligently, surrounded by loneliness. Such days without sunlight are extremely tough.
However, Lu Chen is not like that. Instead of hiding away, he distracts himself with other tasks to strengthen his mindset, making it more stable and powerful. Only in this way can he enter the Virtual Immortal First Level more quickly.
Long before Lu Chen set his sights on uniting Great Qi and Korea to form a Three-Way Alliance to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, he sensed that he was not far from the Virtual Immortal First Level, as if a breakthrough could happen at any moment.
Coincidentally, with Yuanmo Laozu's arrival, after writing personal letters to Chu Mang and Huangfu Yi, he immediately entered seclusion.
In the secret chamber, after several days of continuous seclusion, Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes one morning. He formed a hand seal and instantly sat still. As the stone door opened, another Lu Chen walked out to begin his tasks. Indeed, this signifies that he has reached the first level of Void Immortal and possesses a clone.
Just like the Xuan Huang Sect on Yuanrong Immortal Island, where the Supreme Master resides in Divine Dragon's Hideout—having once been at the Void Immortal first level—he also has a clone known as Minor Dragon. Lu Chen has even fought against Minor Dragon before.
