Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2: Chapter 2 God-level Destiny Selection System_1

"Current progress: (700,000,000/1,000,000,000)"

Chu Yuan’s gaze intensified as he observed that the task of unsealing the Human Emperor Sword was more than halfway finished. "Does this Collective Will of All Living Beings refer to the inhabitants of my Great Wu Dynasty? Does every individual count as a single point?"

"The host is perceptive; each person indeed contributes one point to the Collective Will of All Living Beings," the system confirmed.

"The Great Wu Dynasty was founded three decades ago and has flourished with stability and favorable weather. Its population surpassed a billion long ago. By that logic, shouldn't the second seal of the Human Emperor Sword have been broken already?" Chu Yuan asked, feeling a hint of doubt.

"Certain citizens do not truly belong to the Great Wu Dynasty; therefore, the host cannot claim their Collective Will," the system clarified.

"I understand now."

A moment of clarity struck Chu Yuan. "On the surface, billions reside within the borders of my Great Wu Dynasty. However, only seven hundred million are loyal to Great Wu, while the remainder are under the thumb of various lords, feudal lords, and wealthy aristocratic clans. Following the late emperor's passing, these lords nurtured treasonous thoughts, likely crowning themselves as kings in their own right.

Their followers do not recognize the Great Wu. To release the second seal of the Human Emperor Sword, I must wipe out these lords."

He let out a cold laugh, reflecting on the hardships of the last three years.

While the previous emperor reigned, these men were gifted territories and wealth. Yet, the moment the late emperor perished, they abandoned their loyalty and struck us from behind instead of protecting the Great Wu Dynasty. Their betrayal forced us into a desperate struggle against internal rebellion and foreign invasion—a crisis the Great Wu Dynasty should never have faced.

Eighteen years of memories were now perfectly fused with the fundamental laws of this world.

"I shall purge these lords and reclaim every soul that belongs to me!" Chu Yuan sneered.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning the title 'Master of Thunder Dao'—your thunder-attribute divine abilities are now boosted by ten percent!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning the title 'Supreme Being of Mankind'—your aura of majesty is increased by one hundred percent when facing humanity, providing a hundred percent boost to your ability to influence and intimidate them!"

Two crisp notifications rang in Chu Yuan’s mind, causing his expression to shift slightly. He hadn't anticipated receiving titles alongside the Great Thunder Technique and the Human Emperor Sword—the rewards from this god-level Destiny system were truly formidable.

"Destiny Points can be traded for treasures in the store. The host currently possesses three thousand Destiny Points. The system store is now accessible."

"Shua!"

As the system finished speaking, a "store" interface materialized before Chu Yuan, which he opened with a swift mental command.

"Basic Healing Pill!" "Basic Experience Potion!" "Grid-Walking Steps!" "Sky-Crushing Palm!" "One-time Invisibility Talisman!" "Soul Forging Pill."

The store was filled with a dazzling array of over a hundred treasures, leaving Chu Yuan momentarily overwhelmed.

"As long as you have sufficient Destiny Points, any item can be yours. This is your chance to amass great power," the system prompted. "Purchased items may be kept within the System Space."

"What about this Soul Forging Pill?"

Chu Yuan focused his thoughts on it and immediately received the item's details.

Soul Forging Pill: Costs five hundred Destiny Points. This pill allows a cultivator to jump directly from the tenth layer of the Meridian Realm to the Soul Forging Realm, bypassing the agonizing process and achieving a perfectly forged soul.

"The host has been detected at the tenth level of the Meridian Realm. It is recommended to exchange for the Soul Forging Pill," the system advised.

"Is it truly possible? An immediate breakthrough to the Soul Forging Realm with a perfectly tempered soul?"

Without hesitation, Chu Yuan spent five hundred Destiny Points to obtain one Soul Forging Pill. Instantly, a dark, cold pill appeared in his palm, looking almost like a lethal toxin.

"Host, please consume the pill."

Trusting in the system’s incredible power, Chu Yuan swallowed the medicine immediately.

He felt no pain upon ingestion. Instead, a frigid current swept through him, and his soul felt as light as a feather, ascending to a higher state. He lost himself in the sensation.

A moment later, the feeling subsided.

"Soul Forging Realm!"

Chu Yuan’s lips curled into a faint smile.

For most, reaching the Soul Forging Realm was a torturous experience, described as having one's soul shredded by a thousand blades. Yet, he had achieved it effortlessly with a single pill; the difference was night and day.

Such pills from the system store were non-existent elsewhere in the empire.

"With my current Soul Forging Realm cultivation, even those at the Original Spirit Realm would find me a difficult opponent."

Chu Yuan inspected his soul and found it had indeed reached a state of perfection.

By comparison, while a typical martial artist’s soul at the start of the Soul Forging Realm might be as soft as wool, his soul was as resilient as tempered steel.

"Beyond purchasing treasures, the host may also use Destiny Points to directly increase his cultivation level. For the Soul Forging Realm, each stage costs five hundred Destiny Points. Furthermore, every choice the host makes will provide more Destiny Points," the system explained.

"I can use Destiny Points to level up directly?" Chu Yuan smiled broadly. "Spend fifteen hundred Destiny Points to increase my realm by three levels."

He tapped the screen to confirm the transaction.

"Soul Forging Second Level!" "Soul Forging Third Level!" "Soul Forging Fourth Level!"

A sequence of notifications chimed in his ears.

While an ordinary cultivator would need time to stabilize their foundation after reaching the Soul Forging Realm, Chu Yuan had surged through three additional levels instantly. His progress was moving at an unstoppable speed.
