Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2084: The Realm Above Heaven
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Kun Yuan understood that without intervention, his demise was certain.
His sole path to survival lay in invoking the God Weapon Emperor's name.
Besides the God Weapon Emperor, summoning even the gods themselves would bring no aid to him.
While the gods might shelter those who sought them out, they wouldn't step in to save anyone directly; instead, they'd function much like the Alliance Leader, merely overseeing events.
The God Weapon stands apart.
He possesses the ability to accomplish whatever is needed.
"Call upon the God Weapon Emperor!" The demon paused in uncertainty.
"Kun Yuan, I have heard your call."
Suddenly, a mighty surge of power slammed into the massive face, instantly reducing it to swirling gray fog.
The oppressive force surrounding Kun Yuan shattered under Chu Yuan’s devastating blow.
"God Weapon Emperor, your might is truly awe-inspiring. You might surpass even the Emperor of Heaven in strength. Our ultimate clash will conclude the Third Era."
The demon’s words resounded through the void, aware that confronting the God Weapon Emperor alone wasn't feasible at this moment.
"The demon has just departed."
Kun Yuan stood stunned; the God Weapon Emperor's grandeur had forced such a formidable foe to withdraw with ease.
A figure descended before him, radiating an otherworldly aura that left him in awe, prompting him to declare: "Kun Yuan greets the great Emperor and vows eternal loyalty to you!"
He had once dreamed of forging his own legacy in the Third Era, yet harsh truth had awakened him.
In these times, his best option was to submit to a superior power.
Such is the plight of the powerless, stripped even of their independence.
"Kun Yuan, come back to the Empire alongside me."
Chu Yuan led Kun Yuan away, striding steadily toward the Empire.
"We’ve welcomed a new ally."
Treasure grinned, adding, "Kun Yuan, entering the Empire makes you part of our family. United, we’ll forge the path to a brighter Fourth Era."
"I now see clearly that in this age, swearing fealty to the Emperor is the smartest decision."
Kun Yuan affirmed.
The fresh era unfolded, with conflicts raging fiercer than ever.
Tales spread across the cosmos of the demon pursuing Kun Yuan, only for the God Weapon Emperor to swoop in and rescue him outright.
Even as lesser beings harbored their dreams, cruel fate denied them any shot, leaving them prey to the relentless pursuit by mighty empyreans, gripped by dread and unease.
Aligning with the God Weapon Emperor promised deliverance through his hand, lighting a hopeful trail forward.
And so, this pattern took shape.
Some lesser entities sought refuge in the Divine Realm, convinced the gods could triumph over the God Weapon Emperor just as they had against the Emperor of Heaven.
Others, cornered by inevitable assaults, cried out to the God Weapon Emperor, who arrived with immense might to pull them from peril.
"The Emperor’s approach is spot on—challenging the titans while shielding the vulnerable. This builds our forces far better than mindless slaughter!"
Treasure marveled at the Emperor’s visionary wisdom.
Since the Third Era’s launch, the Empire hadn’t launched aggressive campaigns, yet the endangered weaklings flocked to join voluntarily, eager to integrate into its ranks.
These surviving souls bolstered the Empire’s might considerably.
"I loathe how our attempts to eliminate the weak summon the God Weapon Emperor’s intervention, fueling his rising dominance!"
"The God Weapon Emperor’s meddling has severely hampered our purge of the heavens!"
"We can’t let this drag on; he proves far trickier than the Emperor of Heaven!"
"And the gods refuse to step in!"
"The gods won’t act yet; they’re biding their time with their schemes, seizing this chaos to bolster themselves and secure their edge, as countless heavenly entities have sworn loyalty to them."
"This path tilts too heavily against us. Let’s unite our efforts and test just how many the God Weapon Emperor can protect!"
The minds of the supreme heavenly powers clashed in deliberation.
The Third Era’s unfolding defied their every expectation.
As its architect, the God Weapon Emperor refused to follow their script, instead mastering the chaos with tactics that unsettled his rivals deeply.
"I won’t allow the Third Era to endure; it serves merely as a bridge to the Fourth Era."
Chu Yuan stared into a shimmering mirror, beholding endless battles raging.
Turmoil engulfed the entire cosmos.
In Chu Yuan’s sight, the Third Era wasn’t meant for the frail heavens to consolidate strength, but for him to crush them aside with his supreme force.
"The Emperor stands apart from the rest of us."
Treasure observed Chu Yuan intently.
He noticed that once the Third Era truly ignited, the Emperor set himself distinctly above them all.
That imposing presence loomed over timelessness, as if perched in a superior plane beyond their grasp, within a divine sphere.
The heavenly realm represents an elevated status surpassing the heavens, eternally grander and more potent.
His own power fell short of matching the Emperor’s level.
"Chu Yuan hails from the heavens too, but he embodies a superior heaven, an exalted domain. This is the pinnacle the Emperor of Heaven once attained, beyond my reach, and in the current heavenly order, only two command this height: Chu Yuan and God."
Comely explained.
Treasure agreed with a nod.
The God’s prowess was undeniably fearsome.
Yet he felt the God Weapon Emperor inspired even greater terror.
The Gods hesitated to ignite the Third Era’s curtain, but the Emperor seized it boldly; that alone outshone the Gods’ resolve.
The Gods might weigh their options carefully, but they lacked the Emperor’s boundless drive.
"See how the battles blaze with greater intensity."
Chu Yuan watched the inferno of war, which held profound weight in his gaze, as if it scorched away the rot of bygone ages entirely.
"Chu Yuan, what plans do you have moving forward?"
Comely asked.
"Of course, to bring the Third Era to a close. The more it prolongs, the worse the catastrophe. I sparked the Third Era not to let them fuse together; such unions hold no value. I’ll unleash my strategies to force the climactic clash of the Third Era, eradicating every supreme heavenly being and ushering in the Fourth Era’s dawn."
Chu Yuan responded deliberately.
"You’re preparing to make your move."
Comely acknowledged with a nod.
She recognized Chu Yuan’s aim to confront those supreme heavenly beings; after all, tangling with the weak held little weight.
The threats to the Fourth Era would stem from those elite heavenly powers.
She also grasped that striking at the top tiers would hasten their alliance, culminating in a massive showdown against Chu Yuan.
Still, this trial was unavoidable.
"The Demon Realm stirs with activity, even purging common heavenly beings; it’s time to turn our focus there."
Chu Yuan fixed his gaze on the Demon Realm, tore open a gateway straight to it, and then added, "The moment arrives; I await their full alliance. A new era demands war’s fierce baptism to truly prevail."
