Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2003: Stepping into the Supreme Realm
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
"Ding! The host has successfully finished the main quest. Rewards granted: ten trillion Destiny Points, Eternal Divine Healing Potion x10, Eternal Cannon Blueprint x1, Eternal Warship Blueprint x1, Supreme Divine Artifact Tower of Eternity x1, Supreme Divine Artifact Blade of Cataclysm x1, Treasure of the Obsidian Heavenly Emperor x1, and a single random lottery chance."
As the system distributed the prizes, a subtle shift appeared in Chu Yuan’s expression. A new main quest was not immediately assigned.
This turn of events didn't particularly startle Chu Yuan, considering he had just stepped into the Heavenly Realm, a place where everything remained chaotic and shrouded in mystery. He expected the system would provide a new objective when the timing was right.
The system...
To Chu Yuan, it was the ultimate enigma, perhaps even fundamentally linked to the very existence of the Heavenly Realm.
However, he felt certain that within this Heavenly Realm, every secret regarding the system would eventually be laid bare.
This was the final world, a domain of boundless secrets just waiting for his discovery.
The completion of this quest had yielded incredibly lavish rewards. Beyond upgrading the empire’s Origin Battleship into the far superior Eternal Warship, he had also been granted two Supreme Divine Artifacts.
As their title suggests, Supreme Divine Artifacts are tools forged by the heavens themselves. They transcend Eternal Artifacts by more than just a simple rank, representing the peak of destructive and formidable power.
The Tower of Eternity radiates a perpetual divine light and houses an internal heavenly world. It possesses the terrifying capability to suppress gods and integrates the properties of countless other artifacts.
While the Blade of Cataclysm lacks the multifaceted attributes of the Tower, its purpose is lethal and direct. In Chu Yuan’s grip, a single strike could trigger a worldly disaster, causing the very heavens to buckle and fail.
One served as a defensive and supportive Supreme Divine Artifact.
The other was a Supreme Divine Artifact of pure devastation.
"In the past, it was the system's power that brought me to Shenwu."
Chu Yuan fell into a brief reminiscence, as if those distant memories were unfolding before him once more.
He had become the Emperor of Dawu through an unexpected system choice long ago, receiving the Human Emperor Sword as his initial tool.
Though the Human Emperor Sword was no longer useful to him at his current level, it had been his salvation through many desperate struggles in his early days.
Now, upon his arrival in the Heavenly Realm, he had instantly obtained two Supreme Divine Artifacts to serve as his foundation in this new world.
Yet, even without such artifacts, Chu Yuan now possessed the strength to stand firm on his own.
It was truly a full circle.
Reflecting on this cycle, Chu Yuan recalled that the Goddess Yanran had departed for the Heavenly Realm before him. He could vaguely perceive her presence in a deeply concealed location.
There was no urgency to find her.
If she required his assistance, she would surely seek him out.
Then there was the Treasure of the Obsidian Heavenly Emperor.
This Obsidian Heavenly Emperor must have been a peak powerhouse of the ultimate world; Chu Yuan could feel that the treasure was located at a vast distance from him.
"The heavens that have already fallen."
In the past, only his will had transcended, but now his physical self had arrived. Chu Yuan turned his gaze toward the deceased heavens.
A blurred aura surrounded him. This massive entity completely overshadowed him, dwarfing any imperial manifestation the Pan Emperor had ever shown.
Yet, compared to the heavens themselves, he was like a grain of sand—there was no comparison.
Chu Yuan could perceive that this was merely an external form; within his own being, however, resided a heavenly realm.
By studying the heavens, Chu Yuan felt a massive will that defied common logic, where every heaven symbolized an entire world.
Indeed, the heavens were the supreme beings among all worlds, with none more powerful.
And yet, such peerless beings had perished during the War of the Heavens.
What kind of immense force could destroy the heavens? What had sparked a conflict among the heavens themselves, leading to the fall of more than one?
"The War of the Heavens!"
Chu Yuan felt a dark premonition.
It was easy to envision how brutal and expansive that conflict must have been—the greatest war in existence.
He looked at the heavens once more. This heavenly divine body was no longer composed of mere flesh; to Chu Yuan’s eyes, it appeared almost like a crystal of Eternal Origin.
Each cell was a crystalline grain, and every grain contained within it a crystal universe.
The heavens were formed from an uncountable number of these crystals.
"Every heaven is unique. The Heavenly Realm does not belong to just one heaven, as each possesses its own domain and perpetually births new worlds."
A deeper understanding took root in Chu Yuan’s heart.
The truth was that even in death, the majesty of the heavens remained eternal. Just staring at their divine remains would cause even an eternal-level mind to shatter instantly.
As Chu Yuan watched, a relentless mental wave surged toward him.
Using the Great Devour Technique, Chu Yuan swallowed the mental wave, refining the heavenly spirit into a blazing flame of pure insight.
At this moment, Chu Yuan wasn't entirely certain of the limits of his own power, even considering the possibility of challenging a living heaven.
His current surroundings remained peaceful as he observed—bright light filled the area, but there were no ripples.
"I am still unaware of my exact location."
Chu Yuan shook his head.
He understood that the tranquility here was a restricted zone created by heavenly majesty. Beyond this calm, he could see endless, violent storms.
Those storms were filled with absolute destruction.
Although Chu Yuan could have consumed this heavenly divine body using the Great Devour Technique, he chose not to, as his Eternal Kingdom was still nested within the heavens.
His Eternal Kingdom was growing from the inside out and would eventually swallow this heaven.
Only then would his Eternal Kingdom truly manifest within the Heavenly Realm.
"It is finally time to traverse this Heavenly Realm."
Chu Yuan took a single step out of the luminous zone.
Rumble! As he moved, the shredding storm struck like ten thousand explosions. Catastrophe fell upon him as the terrifying pressure slammed into his form.
The force was staggering; any eternal-level expert from the empire would have been ripped apart instantly upon entering.
Even those with bolstered strength would undoubtedly fail to survive for long.
Chu Yuan grew curious about the hierarchy of power within the Heavenly Realm, specifically between the stages of Eternity and Heaven.
Given the presence of so many heavens and powerful entities, there had to be a sophisticated ranking system.
Chu Yuan realized that because the heavens had fallen onto the eternal path, they had been cut off from the Heavenly Realm, sealed away.
It was fortunate that his citizens had not materialized in such a lethal environment.
It was clear that the locations where heavens fell were extreme danger zones, restricted areas where life itself struggled to survive within the Heavenly Realm.
Not every place would be this hostile.
"The people of my empire must use this route to depart from Eternity, so I shall carve out a stable path for them first," Chu Yuan declared.
Surveying the area, his eternal will expanded. There were no vibrant colors here, only a murky blend of neither black nor white, a gray void without clarity.
A chaotic aura of death hung heavy in the air.
His grand imperial form stood firm as the massive storms broke against him, yet he remained completely unshakeable.
