Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2066: Breaking the Deadlock

At that moment, a majestic and peerless will surged across the entirety of the empire.

Every citizen within the borders could feel a profound transformation taking place.

Chu Yuan intended to begin his grand strategy with his own nation.

Since Chu Yuan had ascended to the heavenly realm, the system was no longer as mysterious as it had once been. Utilizing the might of the heavenly realm, he integrated the system into the very fabric of the empire.

The Divine Level Selection System had been incomplete following the chaos of the heavenly realm war; or perhaps, it was more accurate to say it was a system capable of limitless evolution.

He now transformed the system so that it no longer served him alone, but instead belonged to the whole empire.

This shift would allow the entire empire to grow in power.

While the strength of a tool is important, its most vital quality is that it must lack personal intelligence or feelings, serving purely as a functional instrument.

In the past, various missions were generated solely for his benefit.

Now, however, any individual within the empire might suddenly be assigned a system task, offering magnificent rewards upon completion.

Ultimately, with Chu Yuan's current level of power, he no longer required the system to provide him with personal tasks.

"The system is capable of growth; as the empire flourishes, the system will strengthen, and I will likewise gain power through this cycle."

Chu Yuan’s divine will swept through the empire, inspecting his domain.

He felt a great sense of pride regarding this evolution.

Yanran perceived this shift even more clearly, noting how the system’s influence now saturated the empire. This system had evolved into Chu Yuan’s ultimate tool.

The system was required to possess omnipotent capabilities.

Furthermore, Chu Yuan had to tighten his grip over this absolute power.

"Chu Yuan, how do you plan to handle the shifting tides of the heavenly realm?"

Chu Yuan and Yanran stood in a transcendent space, observing the entire heavenly realm from their vantage point.

"In three words: Shatter the stalemate."

Chu Yuan stated, "Although I have reached the heavenly realm and sacrificed two others to get here, the other heavenly beings likely assume I did so merely to expedite my Cultivation. They do not yet suspect I would attempt something more radical than the heavenly supreme ruler. While a new heavenly being attracts notice, I am still within their expectations, and they do not truly comprehend my full strength."

"Your own strength is another factor. In certain respects, I cannot match you. Each heavenly being is a distinct entity, and they do not share a unified will."

Yanran highlighted the most vital point.

It was true.

Chu Yuan’s power was undeniable, and everyone acknowledged him as a top-tier heavenly being, standing among the most powerful realms.

With two such powerful figures holding their ground, any attempt to move against them would come at an astronomical price.

"However, once I am perceived as a genuine threat to their existence, things will change. When faced with a major danger, those of the heavenly realm will band together, just as they did during the war to bring down the heavenly supreme ruler."

Chu Yuan saw the situation with perfect clarity; his wisdom allowed him to see through every layer.

"To break this deadlock, I must take the lead and destroy a powerful heavenly being—and not just one who is considered universally malevolent. Once I take this path, the heavenly realm will be consumed by a war that I have started."

Chu Yuan understood the consequences perfectly.

"Currently, the heavenly realm will not tolerate the rise of another figure like the heavenly supreme ruler," Yanran remarked.

"Everyone desires to consume the heavenly realm to boost their own power and become the ultimate being, but doing so would turn them into a target for the entire realm, leading to a coordinated siege."

At this moment, Chu Yuan radiated an aura of total invincibility.

Whether it be the top heavenly beings of gods, demons, monsters, martial, thunder, or primal—do they not wish to devour the heavenly realm for their own benefit? Their natural Cultivation speed is far too slow by comparison.

Do they lack the power to consume weaker heavenly beings?

Of course they possess it.

For instance, Wu has the overwhelming strength required to hunt down and absorb the most wicked heavenly beings.

Yet they are held back by an unspoken mutual restraint among the top powers. Once the heavenly supreme ruler was defeated, the original alliance dissolved into this tense peace.

If anyone dares to act, they are seen as harboring the ambitions of the previous ruler, inciting a rebellion from all sides.

No one wants to be the first to draw such attention and become a public enemy.

This invisible pressure has locked the heavenly realm into this strange state of inertia.

While the devouring of heavenly beings does happen, it is extremely uncommon and kept within acceptable bounds.

"Nonetheless, this stagnation must eventually come to an end," Yanran said.

"Indeed, this stalemate cannot last forever; someone has to make a move, and I shall be the one to do it."

Chu Yuan spoke with the confidence of one who dominates the world.

With a simple motion, he manifested a detailed map of the heavenly realm, which was immediately overtaken by the fires of conflict.

"To realize my vision, the heavenly realm requires a single, absolute voice. I will give you my full support."

Yanran declared.

"Having only just reached the heavenly realm, I won't strike immediately; there are other tasks I must complete first."

Chu Yuan focused his attention back on the empire.

Heavenly divine flames blazed as massive amounts of energy were funneled into the Divine Martial Sword, imbuing it with peerless techniques to facilitate its rise as a Supreme Divine Artifact.

As the primary Divine Artifact of the nation, it represented his sovereign power.

The Divine Martial Sword was destined to be his primary weapon for cutting down thousands of foes.

Its evolution into a Supreme Divine Artifact was now inevitable.

Within the empire, amidst the swirling tides of destiny, a massive altar stood. Chu Yuan poured immense power into this structure.

He was in the process of fundamentally rebuilding it.

While Yanran had designed the initial version of the sacrificial altar, it was insufficient for his goals; Chu Yuan intended to recreate the altar of the heavenly supreme ruler, or perhaps even exceed its original power.

This altar was larger than a massive universe.

Strange, shifting colors danced across it, and its sacrificial aura was enough to make heavenly beings shudder.

"This power is entirely distinct from the altar used by the heavenly supreme ruler," Yanran observed.

An altar is still an altar, but the nature of its power can vary.

The previous ruler's altar possessed a certain beauty in its attributes.

However, the one Chu Yuan was forging was saturated with a thirst for slaughter.

He intended to use this altar to sacrifice any heavenly beings who opposed him, trapping their worlds within and offering up everything they owned.

This was a true ritual of sacrifice, with the heavens themselves as the offering.

The massive altar took shape quickly, radiating a terrifying power that made lesser heavenly beings feel as though their worlds were about to be consumed.

The flow of time within the empire was entirely under Chu Yuan’s command.

With a thunderous sound, the power of a Supreme Divine Artifact surged as the Divine Martial Sword flew into the sky, radiating a brilliant light and an aura of absolute dominance.

Watching the sword, Hulu felt as though his very being would be cleaved in two if that blade were ever turned against him.

"My Divine Martial Sword has reached the level of a Supreme Divine Artifact, and the sacrificial altar now has the capacity to offer up even the strongest heavens; it is time for me to end this stalemate."

Chu Yuan looked out over the heavenly realm, his eyes fixed on his future targets.
