Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2062: 2062: Ascending to the Supreme Realm
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
The Divine Cycle departed, and none could hinder its retreat.
Intervention was impossible.
The various divines had originally intended to seize the authority of reincarnation, but their schemes were derailed by the Divine of the Heart's interference. No one desired a confrontation with the heart-maddened Divine of the Heart.
One after another, the divines pulled back their influence.
In the end, only the Divine of the Heart remained. With a vacant and confused gaze, he wandered aimlessly in one direction until his form gradually faded into nothingness.
An obsession still lingered in his soul; he was still in pursuit.
The manifestation of these divines caused a massive stir throughout the divine realm. Many sensed that the coming years would no longer be peaceful.
A period of great upheaval and massive wars was likely approaching.
This impending conflict would give birth to a new era, fundamentally shifting the laws of heaven and earth.
However, certain ancient divines did not view it as a catastrophic threat. They believed that no matter how violent the struggle, it could never match the scale and tragedy of the ancient battle of the divines.
There can only ever be one Sovereign of the Divines, and that figure has already been toppled.
Today, no one possesses the capability to replicate the feats of the Sovereign of the Divines.
Even if the Divine Cycle seeks a resurgence, it is deemed impossible. Still, they recognized that as long as reincarnation persists, the future will be restless.
Regardless, vigilance remained the priority.
At that moment, Chu Yuan returned to his empire in an instant.
His aura was as vast as the firmament and the ocean, standing above countless worlds. He wielded a terrifying power, his will and spirit ready to shatter any infinite barrier.
“Yanran, I have crossed paths with the Divine of the Heart before. His heart once forged a world of beauty, only to transform into a demonic obsession bent on destroying heaven and earth—swinging from one extreme to the other.”
Chu Yuan spoke in a low tone.
“The Divine of the Heart... his nature differs from mine.”
Yanran remained composed as she replied, “His obsession is too deep. He adopted the Sovereign of the Divines' ideals as his own, viewing them as his entire world. This is why he fell into such extremes. Once those ideals shattered, it was as if his very life was extinguished.”
“If ideals are lost, then forge new ones. To the Divine of the Heart, the current world is nothing but darkness. If he can bring forth light, he can escape this fixation,” Chu Yuan remarked.
“He requires a new vision to guide him out. Chu Yuan, though your path differs from the Sovereign of the Divines, your core essence is similar. This might be the key to helping the Divine of the Heart emerge from his state.”
Yanran reflected for a moment before adding, “However, the Divine of the Heart has currently transformed into a source of an extreme and horrific curse. To restore his light, one must first endure the weight of that curse.”
“It matters not. I possess absolute certainty; I do not fear curses. Whether he can truly walk out, however, ultimately depends on the Divine of the Heart himself,” Chu Yuan stated.
“I understand,” Yanran nodded.
Once Chu Yuan attains divinity, he can utilize divine power and his philosophy of eternal unification to light the way for the Divine of the Heart. Yet, everything hinges on whether the Divine of the Heart accepts Chu Yuan’s Dao.
If he rejects it, he will remain imprisoned in his current state.
But if the Divine of the Heart acknowledges it, he will become Chu Yuan’s most steadfast supporter, just as he once stood by the Sovereign of the Divines.
Every step Chu Yuan took was a stride toward eternal unification.
“Because of my presence, many divines are already turning their gaze toward you; this will cause you immense trouble,” Yanran said.
“One cannot have the fish and the bear's paw simultaneously; gain always comes with loss. Without you, Yanran, I would not have gained the power from sacrificing the Sun and Moon Divines, nor could I have killed the Malice Divine alone. My strength is too great to be hidden; no powerful figure in history has ever avoided being targeted. We must proactively wage war to carve out a new era.”
Chu Yuan’s empire had been forged through years of battle, allowing him to see these truths with perfect clarity.
One must take the lead to maintain the advantage.
“That is true.”
Yanran realized that without such bold methods, it was uncertain how long it would have taken Chu Yuan to gather the necessary power for Foundation Establishment into the divine realm, nor would he be this formidable.
Naturally, while many divines were aware of Chu Yuan, they did not yet equate him directly with the Sovereign of the Divines.
There was only one Sovereign, and that name had become a forbidden taboo.
“Furthermore, Chu Yuan, once you reach divinity, you do not need to immediately pull the Divine of the Heart out of his transformed state,” Yanran advised.
She and the Divine of the Heart were once the wings of the Sovereign; if both were to gather around Chu Yuan instantly, the world would inevitably view him as the successor to the Sovereign's forbidden ambitions.
“Everything is within my plans and under my control.”
Chu Yuan closed his eyes, his Qi circulating rapidly. “The moment has arrived. I shall ascend to the divine realm immediately. My breakthrough shall face no obstacles, no heavenly tribulations, and no one shall stop me!”
His indomitable will surged throughout the entire empire at that instant.
He began his ascension to divinity with peerless speed and irresistible force.
The consecutive sacrifices of the Sun and Moon Divines, along with the Malice Divine, had provided him with more than enough power to reach this stage.
Upon reaching divinity, his strength would grow exponentially, placing him among the absolute peak powers of the divine realm.
Once he becomes a divine, he will possess the power to forge the Divine Martial Sword into a true Divine Artifact.
This is his personal weapon, forged by his own hand to represent the supreme majesty of the Eternal Divine Martial Empire—a blade that, once drawn, is unstoppable.
At this moment, his spirit and imperial body entered a profound dimension.
His will completely blanketed the Divine Martial Empire.
It felt as though he had transcended, detaching himself from the world. He was no longer merely within the divine realm, but standing in an incredibly mysterious plane of existence.
As his gaze fell upon the Divine Martial Empire, he seemed to look from beyond the boundaries of the world, seeing the whole picture.
This was not just a will covering the empire while it sat within the divine realm; at this moment, he felt as if he stood outside the divine realm itself.
“One cannot see the true face of Mount Lu simply because they are standing upon it.”
Chu Yuan’s current state allowed him to look "beyond the mountain," observing from an external world.
He sensed his surroundings—a strange sensation of stretching his limbs into non-existent voids, yet through divine power, reality could be birthed from nothing.
“With divine power, I shall create existence from the void!”
Chu Yuan’s voice echoed across every corner of the empire.
Simultaneously.
The entire empire underwent a massive transformation, becoming drenched in the aura of true divinity. Streams of light representing different worlds intersected, glowing with colors unique to the divine realm.
“Divine! Divine! Divine!”
The citizens of the empire broke into thunderous cheers for the divine.
They had waited long for this turning point.
A nationwide ascension of their very existence—it was a magnificent sight.
Looking toward the sky, they saw a massive, ethereal silhouette radiating endless imperial majesty. He dominated and guided everything, propelling the empire toward the divine realm.
This evolution would normally take an eternity within the empire.
However, Chu Yuan manipulated the flow of time; his control over time was entirely distinct from that of the empire.
A mighty force reconstructed the empire, ensuring the Foundation was unshakable, allowing greatness to rise from the earth.
“The divine creates heaven and earth!”
As Chu Yuan ascended, the empire expanded from within. This expansion was not like the previous absorption of the Heavenly Tomb; it was the birth of a world he created himself.
