Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2065: Tool

It was only at this precise moment that Chu Yuan truly took possession of the system, shifting from a state of passive usage to one of active domination.

This represented a massive leap forward, a level of mastery that could only be attained by one at the realm of the Sovereign.

At this stage, Chu Yuan’s realm had reached the absolute peak of the cosmos. With no further bottlenecks to shatter, his only remaining path was the pursuit of infinite accumulation.

In the past, the system had been the divine realm itself, serving as the embodiment of origin, rules, providence, and impartial fairness.

It carried the collective hopes of the Sovereign and countless celestials, infused with their purest aspirations.

This went far beyond simple origin rules; it signified something much more profound.

The power that once blanketed the divine realm had vanished upon the Sovereign’s fall, yet it still carried a lingering will—the eternal pursuit of the Sovereign.

"So, this is the true face of the system!"

Chu Yuan’s mind became as clear as refined crystal.

The system was a vessel for so many things.

Now, with nothing more than a single thought, he possessed the power to transform himself into the ultimate system. He could bestow it upon a chosen individual or splinter it into countless sub-systems to facilitate the Cultivation of the Empire’s people.

His invincible power was more than enough to sustain such a feat.

His will could now blanket everything, generating tasks for hosts to fulfill, after which he would dispense various rewards.

Naturally, these rewards would not manifest from nothing; they would be the products of his own creation.

He could project his consciousness to any corner of the divine cosmos, granting others a system identical to the Mysterious Selection System he had once received.

"Every celestial is a creator of the cosmos. Their massive will envelopes the divine realm, and such providence makes everyone equivalent to a system!"

Chu Yuan’s heart felt as bright as fallen snow.

In a flash, a flood of realizations surged through his mind.

The very nature of the divine was analogous to the existence of a system.

His celestial will appeared to be ascending toward the domain of the Sovereign—the heavens that stood above all.

"When the Sovereign led the celestials in world-creation, it was meant to bolster the system and keep providence just. He strove to make the system the strongest force to govern the divine world's operations, but in the end, he failed."

Chu Yuan could now perceive the Sovereign’s grand design.

Was the Sovereign truly unaware that an increase in celestials would lead to growing ambitions that would eventually ruin everything beautiful?

He knew. He had a countermeasure: using the system as a substitute for individual rule.

The system was not a person, but a fusion of infinite forces. By reinforcing the system through the Cultivation of celestials, he hoped to instill a collective aspiration for goodness to keep the divine world running.

This way, as the number of celestials grew, the system’s strength would scale alongside them, allowing for continuous creation under his guidance.

However, the system was ultimately just a system. Its emotionless impartiality could indeed maintain fairness, ensuring everything functioned according to the system’s programming.

Yet, it was this very lack of bias that caused the Sovereign’s downfall.

Absolute fairness does not exist in all things; there is only absolute strength.

To establish a premise of absolute fairness, one must first be the master of absolute strength.

Chu Yuan grasped this concept perfectly. Because the system was a mechanical program, it could no longer suppress the celestials once their ambitions grew too large, leading to an inevitable collapse.

In the final account, one's own power is the only thing that matters.

If your power is unrivaled, who would dare to oppose you or sabotage your designs?

The only fate for those who seek destruction is death.

Chu Yuan understood that ambition cannot be suppressed; it must be eradicated. The Sovereign had been too enamored with beauty, and that was the cause of his failure.

"The Sovereign turned the cosmic rules into the ultimate system, but he did not control it. I can possess the system, but my method will be different from his!"

Chu Yuan declared.

"I shall also create an Empire System, imbued with power, justice, and selflessness. However, there is one condition: the system must be under my absolute control!"

While Chu Yuan could forge and manage the system, the ultimate authority had to remain solely with him.

He intended to walk a path of supreme power, silencing any voice that dared to dissent.

Only through total domination could all things be suppressed.

The Sovereign’s mistakes could not be repeated, as that would only lead to a dead end.

Chu Yuan was not the Sovereign. His mercy was reserved for the citizens of his Empire. He knew that without a complete and total cleansing, nothing would ever truly change.

An emperor must balance compassion for the world with the ruthlessness required to purge it.

He now perceived the cosmos as having three distinct layers.

The divine realm served as the first layer—the foundation of life and the cradle of all things, where the strongest system was crafted to maintain vast operations.

The system itself was the second layer.

And Chu Yuan stood at the third layer—the highest and most powerful tier, controlling the rules of the system itself.

Rumble... As this realization took hold, his spirit became completely translucent.

"All the secrets of the system have finally been laid bare."

As Chu Yuan’s consciousness returned, he took command of the system and began constructing an even more powerful version within the Empire.

To him, the system was merely an instrument to uphold his reign.

"Chu Yuan, now that you have become divine, it seems you have fully grasped that immense fortune."

Yan Ran observed him.

Though Chu Yuan had processed a lifetime of thoughts, only a brief moment had actually passed in the real world.

"Indeed, I now know everything. That great fortune of mine was originally a power of cosmic rule and providence, acting as a system."

Chu Yuan kept nothing hidden from Yan Ran.

There was no point in secrecy.

With the power he currently wielded, there was nothing that could not be brought into the light.

"The system... the cosmic providence of the divine Sovereign, turned into a providence system. It was designed to absorb the strength of many celestials to become the most powerful existence. But in the end, a system is merely a tool. Its merit is its lack of bias, but that is also its fatal flaw."

Yan Ran, possessing infinite wisdom, understood the situation immediately through Chu Yuan’s explanation.

As the Sovereign’s left hand, she had felt that supreme providence back then, yet she had never thought to subvert it.

She never guessed that this ultimate providence would transform into a system and end up in Chu Yuan's hands.

It was no wonder she had felt a fated compulsion to assist him.

Looking at Chu Yuan now, he had ascended to divinity. His strength was no less than her own, and in certain aspects, he had even surpassed her.

"A tool is just a tool. No matter how great it is, it still requires a master. Chu Yuan, I understand your objective. A system can exist, but you must be the one holding the reins."

Yan Ran spoke.

Her ideals were similar to the Sovereign's, but her tactics were different.

To realize her dream, she would employ any necessary means, having long ago abandoned a simple love for peace.

The Sovereign’s path had been proven a failure by history; therefore, they would forge a new one, adopting Chu Yuan’s more domineering and cold-blooded strategy.

"Precisely. I will build a system within the Empire and project its power across the entire divine world. Only the absolute strongest can crush all opposition!"

Chu Yuan’s declaration was saturated with the arrogance of a true sovereign!
