Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2077: 2077: The Direction of Heaven and Earth [8 Updates]
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
As the most dominant figure in the current Divine Realm, the God naturally possesses vast ambitions. He desires to project the will of the Divine Path across every corner of the celestial world, positioning the God as the center of all existence. Regarding the true depth of Chu Yuan’s power, many are currently uncertain. While no one can precisely measure his strength, it is undeniable that as the catalyst for the Third Era, his power is remarkably immense.
The various wills within the Divine Realm are currently in a state of collision.
Deep within the empire, the majestic silhouette of Chu Yuan stands tall, surveying the complete map of the Divine Realm. Under the pervasive shroud of his will, it appears as though nothing can remain hidden from his sight.
The transformations occurring within the empire are similarly profound.
Chu Yuan’s foundation has grown significantly deeper since he absorbed the Treasure Realm.
The altar stands prominently, radiating two distinct auras: one focused on external conquest, sacrificing the savage remnants of the Divine Realm, and the other directed toward the prosperity within the empire.
With the integration of Treasure, and through its constant support, the altar has become increasingly potent.
Treasure nods in silent agreement, convinced that any outside force refusing to submit must be wiped out with ruthless intent. Instead of debating logic or ideals, it is more effective to annihilate those who dare to defy. Internally, however, one must act with the magnanimity and kindness of a Holy Emperor.
He lets out a soft sigh.
Back then, the King of the Heavens was far too idealistic. He believed a perfected system could restrain those with ambition and attempted to tolerate them with benevolence.
To achieve grand goals, one cannot be restricted by small details; even the slightest mercy is a luxury that cannot be afforded.
“The First Era, the Second Era, and the Third Era—this classification of eras is quite fascinating.”
Chu Yuan also sensed the shifting will of the era. “The First Era belonged to the King of the Heavens and concluded with the Heavenly War that toppled him. The Second Era is the present age, which will end with my rise.”
“In the Third Era, Chu Yuan, you are undoubtedly the one who started it. This period will be defined by celestial competition and mutual devouring,” Yanran observed.
“Emperor, regarding the Third Era, only two outcomes exist: either the heavens consume one another, resulting in the empire's fall while a few giant heavens survive to enter the Fourth Era,” Treasure explained.
“Then, the Fourth Era would involve a long period of recovery where each giant heaven builds its power, eventually leading to a massive heavenly war. This would leave only one survivor to conclude the Fourth Era and unify the world. Alternatively, my empire could seize total victory during the Third Era, ushering in the eternal unity of the Fourth Era!”
Although he had previously joined the empire out of necessity, Treasure felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of the coming conflicts.
“The world moves in cycles; the First Era aimed for unity, and the Fourth Era shall do the same.” Chu Yuan saw through the nature of things with his piercing insight. This truth remains constant regardless of the circumstances.
“The winner determines the outcome of everything,” Yanran declared.
“With my arrival, the curtain of the Third Era is beginning to rise. Though it appears calm for now, it is merely waiting for my next move. I will act as they expect, ensuring the Third Era is the shortest one of all.” Chu Yuan radiated an aura of absolute dominance.
The three of them had transcended the empire's space-time, leaping beyond the Divine Realm to look down upon its entirety and observe the map from a direct perspective.
“The signatures of each heaven are unique. Some are consumed by anxiety, their very essence shaking in fear of the Third Era. Others are filled with a thirst for combat, actively preparing for the coming war. Emperor, look—the Demon Realm, the Martial Realm, the Thunder Realm, the Evil Realm, the Law Realm, Hell, the Light Realm, the Primordial Realm, and other major heavens have all shown a desire for annexation.”
Treasure pointed out the supreme heavens.
These major heavens have stood since the time of the King of the Heavens in the First Era. Their power is beyond doubt, and each has the potential to transform into a giant heaven.
Truthfully, witnessing the aura emanating from these heavens filled him with a sense of apprehension. Even if he hadn't participated in the Divine Warfare, the arrival of the Third Era was inevitable and beyond his control. If it came to that, the unique nature of the Treasure Realm meant it had no hope of becoming a giant heaven. The supreme powers of the Divine Realm would never spare him; they would strike the Treasure Realm to strengthen their own foundations.
Joining the Divine Warfare was, in reality, a superior choice.
“Treasure, you see now that this is your chance,” Yanran noted.
“I understand completely now. If one cannot fight against the era, one must adapt to it,” Treasure replied.
He paused briefly before adding, “Currently, among the heavens—excluding ourselves—the God of the Divine Realm is the most powerful. Even I am not his equal. During the Heaven’s War, the God managed to endure a direct strike from the King of the Heavens.”
“God.” Chu Yuan turned his attention toward the Divine Realm.
The name “God” was quite familiar to Chu Yuan; it represented a specific type of power. The civilization of the God has spread incredibly far. No one who takes the title of God is weak, a fact that holds true even on the Eternal Path, where their civilization has expanded significantly.
This God is the forefather of every divine civilization across the heavens, the ancient progenitor of the Divine Path. Every path of the divine was spread by his hand.
He observed the Divine Realm; it was far too vast for ordinary mortals to inhabit, and the life forms within were all powerful divinities. The scale of the Divine Realm was the largest among all the heavens.
“The God achieved enlightenment even before I did. The first Supreme Heaven was the King of the Heavens, and the second was the God. The God was also the primary designer of the Second Era. He led the Heaven’s War, and without him, victory might have been impossible,” Yanran commented.
The second Supreme Heaven.
Even if he does not surpass the scale of the Heaven’s War, this fact alone demonstrates the God's immense power. He clearly intends to gather and control overwhelming strength during the Third Era to build the most powerful Divine Realm that encompasses all the heavens.
“Following the Heaven’s War, the survivors of the divine realm gained massive fortunes. For instance, the Sun and Moon Supreme Heaven obtained the eyes of the King of the Heavens. However, the God was different; he secured the wisdom of the King of the Heavens,” Reincarnation explained. “In the beginning, he helped create the world alongside the King of the Heavens, absorbing great wisdom from him.”
“Wisdom.” Chu Yuan’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.
“Indeed, wisdom is the ultimate power. Even the King of the Heavens was defeated; so what if some parts of him were taken? Only through wisdom can the most powerful weapon be created. To possess wisdom is to possess everything,” Treasure said.
“This God has stayed his hand since the Heaven’s War. He holds both the wisdom of the King of the Heavens and his own, which perfectly complement each other. No one truly knows how strong he has become, but his power is undeniably beyond imagination. He will be our most formidable rival, looking to claim the greatest rewards of the Third Era.” Treasure looked serious, refusing to underestimate the God at all.
“It appears that a celestial war, which will decide the path of this era, is about to break out, with the God leading the charge against me.”
As Chu Yuan spoke, his eyes once again locked onto the Divine Realm.
