Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2008 - Capítulo 2008: 2800: King of the Supreme Heavens

Utilizing the techniques of Soul Control, he seized the spirit of the Black Cloud Sky Lord entirely. He stripped away every fragment of memory, leaving the captive with no secrets, all to gain a profound understanding of the Upper Realm.

Chu Yuan felt no need for tedious interrogation.

Even though the Black Cloud Sky Lord appeared helpless before Chu Yuan, it did not imply he was truly weak. In reality, he was considered a significant power within the Upper Realm.

By extracting these memories, Chu Yuan witnessed numerous magnificent vistas and obtained a general comprehension of the Upper Realm's structure.

“The Upper Realm is a place where various domains coexist, such as the Divine Upper Realm, the Demon Upper Realm, the Martial Upper Realm, the Hell Upper Realm, the Evil Upper Realm, and the Law Upper Realm,” Chu Yuan observed.

He processed the information rapidly.

The Black Cloud Sky Lord was ignorant of the Upper Realm's true origins, as the current realms were all products of the existing Upper Realms. However, Chu Yuan managed to pinpoint a vital detail.

“The First Upper Realm.”

Chu Yuan remarked: “Prior to the start of the Celestial War, the initial Upper Realm was known as the Celestial King. He stood as the most powerful Upper Realm and the very first sentient being. He birthed more worlds, which led to the emergence of further Upper Realms. Their collective actions expanded the Upper Realm's reach. Yet, for reasons shrouded in mystery, a Celestial War erupted between the other Upper Realms and the Celestial King.”

The factions of the Celestial War were distinct: the Celestial King on one side, and a coalition of Upper Realms on the other.

Since the Black Cloud Sky Lord was not an Upper Realm himself, the exact cause remained unknown to him. Some whispered that the Celestial King intended to purge the other Upper Realms to reign alone, sparking a rebellion to end his tyranny.

The conflict concluded with the Celestial King’s downfall, terminating the era of a single sovereign ruling over many.

In the present day, the Upper Realm is defined by the coexistence of multiple Upper Realms and the presence of numerous competing heroes.

“Upon the Celestial King’s death, his immense power detonated, acting like a cosmic explosion that birthed heavens and earth. Every strand of his force forged new time and space, vastly increasing the Upper Realm’s dimensions; it was the Celestial King who truly expanded the Upper Realm.”

This grand vision seemed to manifest before Chu Yuan’s eyes.

A Celestial King had perished, and his very essence had given rise to even larger worlds.

“The Celestial King and the many Upper Realms... he was the pioneer and the strongest among them, yet the others united to cast him down.”

Chu Yuan now grasped the fundamental history of the Upper Realm.

While the summary seemed straightforward, it actually encompassed a vast, immeasurable span of time.

He suspected that the motive wasn't merely toppling the Celestial King; there were likely deeper, more complex secrets at play.

Using his willpower, he transmitted this historical record back to his empire.

“The Upper Realm once bowed to a Celestial King; it was he and a council of Upper Realms who forged this massive world!”

The citizens of the empire meticulously documented these revelations.

“System!”

Chu Yuan suddenly experienced a realization.

The system he wielded likely possessed a deep connection to the Celestial King, perhaps even being fundamentally linked to the very birth of the Upper Realm.

The system originated from the Upper Realm.

Chu Yuan’s soul felt significantly more enlightened.

Furthermore, he believed the mud slab was also intimately tied to the legacy of the Celestial King.

“Even though the Celestial King fell, his royal court remained. During the struggle to overthrow him, he claimed the lives of many Upper Realms; the Heavenly Tomb was merely one of those casualties,” Chu Yuan noted.

Though he hadn't witnessed it himself, he knew the war that destroyed Upper Realms must have been fueled by absolute, irreconcilable differences; otherwise, such powerful beings would never have risked their existence.

Goddess Yan Ran had likely withheld these details because her memories through reincarnation had not yet fully returned.

“Eternal True God, Eternal Celestial God, Eternal Sky Lord, Eternal Monarch, Eternal Emperor Realm—the latter being split into Heavenly Emperor and Emperor Monarch—and finally, the Upper Realm.”

Chu Yuan had extracted the precise hierarchy of power in the Upper Realm from the Black Cloud Sky Lord’s soul.

Those on the Eternal Path capable of reaching the eternal level were formidable; even within the Upper Realm, they possessed the means to defend themselves.

A standard eternal level practitioner was known as an Eternal True God.

One who reached the apex of the eternal level, standing on the threshold of the strongest, was equated to an Eternal Celestial God.

Those who had once been the absolute strongest, ruling over an entire era, were classified as Eternal Sky Lords.

In the Upper Realm, an Eternal Sky Lord was no pushover; they were viewed as a significant power.

As for whether anyone on the Eternal Path had ever reached the level of Eternal Monarch...

They existed, but were incredibly scarce.

Figures like God, Demon, Monster, Dao, Netherworld, the Great Emperor of Longevity, Ancestor Immortal, and the Holy Emperor whom Chu Yuan had slain all possessed the might of an Eternal Monarch.

The Poison Ancestor was an Eternal Sky Lord, yet his unique toxins were so lethal they could pose a threat even to Monarchs.

An Eternal Monarch, true to the title, functioned as a titled king within the Upper Realm.

Regarding the Eternal Emperor Realm, while Chu Yuan is currently the only one on the Eternal Path, others had risen in the past.

According to Goddess Yan Ran, the Eternal Path had suffered several mass extinctions when Eternal Emperor Monarchs appeared and threatened the eternal rules.

Because every being in the Eternal Emperor Realm has the potential to ascend to an Upper Realm, the rules triggered these extinctions to wipe them out.

It was logical that a single Eternal Path could produce so many masters; it was part of the Upper Realm’s world where the rules were complete, and everything born of the eternal rules was naturally compatible with the Upper Realm.

However, because the path was isolated and plagued by eternal tribulations, its growth had been stifled.

Had it been otherwise, the number of powerhouses would be far greater.

Due to the scarcity of the eternal level on the Eternal Path, the classifications there were vague, usually just referred to as the eternal level or the strongest.

Entities like God, Demon, Monster, Dao, and Netherworld, with their deep grasp of eternity, held a high chance of reaching the Eternal Emperor Realm.

And those in the Eternal Emperor Realm would all be part of the empire’s peak strength.

“Eternal True God, Eternal Celestial God, Eternal Sky Lord, Eternal Monarch, Eternal Emperor Realm—so this is how eternal power is ranked!”

The experts of the empire immediately grasped these specific stages, allowing them to better gauge their own standing.

“So our power isn't considered weak, even in the Upper Realm.”

Many of the empire’s elites had feared that entering the Upper Realm would mean falling from the peak to the very bottom, becoming easy prey for outsiders.

But that was a misconception.

Their strength held weight even in the Upper Realm.

Once they engaged with the broader world, their comprehension of eternity would sharpen, pushing each of them toward higher stages.

In the memories of the Black Cloud Sky Lord, an Eternal True God might not be at the pinnacle of an Upper Realm, but they were still notable figures with recognized status.

“Emperor, what is the distinction between an Emperor Monarch and a Heavenly Emperor within the Eternal Emperor Realm?” someone from the empire inquired.

“Both Eternal Emperor Monarchs and Eternal Heavenly Emperors reside within the Eternal Emperor Realm, but a fundamental gap separates them,” Chu Yuan explained.

“Eternal Emperor Monarchs are bound to specific Upper Realms and follow their will implicitly. The Upper Realm provides them with endless mana, forcibly boosting their power from the source. They are manufactured rather than having reached the emperor realm through their own cultivation.”

This was comparable to the eternal rules spending energy to create various eternal true bodies.

A sentient Upper Realm is vastly more formidable than mere eternal rules.

“In contrast, an Eternal Heavenly Emperor attains the emperor realm through their own sheer, absolute power; they are the genuine sovereigns. Each one possesses the seed to become an Upper Realm, and the most powerful Heavenly Emperors are so resilient that even the Upper Realms cannot kill them.”
