Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2014: The Absolute Heaven of the Supreme
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Throughout past eras.
Because of the death of the heavens, the world entered a state of hibernation. It was unable to draw energy from the exterior and lacked the direction of a celestial will. An Eternal Tribulation would manifest simply to sustain the internal world's existence.
All things reside within the Eternal Path, destined to return to eternity once destruction is complete.
This represents the conservation of energy, a method of upholding equilibrium.
Without it, the presence of too many powerful entities would cause the world to implode under its own weight.
Currently, Chu Yuan utilizes Eternal Devouring to draw massive amounts of supplementation from the outer realms. As the Eternal Kingdom undergoes a dramatic expansion, such worries have vanished; it is impossible to tell how far they remain from the ultimate limit.
He observed the surging growth of experts within the empire with great satisfaction.
The evolution of the Eternal Path over countless epochs has finally transformed into his personal foundation.
Under this intense influx of power, several more Eternal Kings were born.
The empire's current roster of Eternal Kings includes Gods, Demons, Spirits, Dao, Nether, Primordial Chaos, the Emperor of Longevity, the Ancestor of Poison, the Ancestor Immortal, the Heaven-Slaying Emperor, and the Mythical Ancient Emperor.
These latter two powerhouses, though reconstructed from pure energy.
Chu Yuan had crushed the eternal rules, allowing him to reclaim their imprints and grant them a genuine new life.
Furthermore, there are several others possessing the potential to step into the emperor realm.
These experts constitute the bedrock of the empire.
While he could employ his invincible techniques to resurrect other imprints, there was no longer a requirement to do so, as they had never pledged themselves to the empire nor possessed an imperial imprint.
The empire now has no shortage of such imprints.
With its current might, the empire is fully capable of forging even more magnificent existences.
"Those who once opposed the Empire, such as the Holy Emperor, Soul, the Sea God, and other peak beings, are unfortunately unable to witness the true eternal world. I wonder if they would feel regret if they knew things would turn out like this? I suspect some would."
Primordial Chaos let out a sigh.
He was well aware that the Emperor was no merciful saint; his hands were stained with blood, and he lacked the charity to revive his former foes.
Since they had stood against the empire, they remained its enemies.
The Emperor would never resurrect his adversaries, regardless of the struggles they had endured.
At this moment, the Eternal Kingdom acts as a colossal devouring entity—a magnet pulling in everything. Every flash of light it emits is comparable to a cosmic explosion.
Chu Yuan understands that by continuing this devouring process, he will eventually encounter other celestial Godbodies.
He feels no rush to hunt them down; instead, he advances with the empire’s circular expansion, moving with an unstoppable momentum.
He realizes that other celestial Godbodies will not be consumed so easily.
After all, his current domain originated from within him, shattering the eternal rules from the inside out, whereas other celestials must be besieged from the exterior.
He has already sensed the curse thoughts of the heavens cascading down upon the empire like a deluge.
These curse thoughts are trivial; should they arrive, they will simply be consumed.
Possessing such vast energy, Chu Yuan began his own work of creation. Having previously acquired the blueprints for the Eternal Divine Ship and the Eternal Cannon, he prepared to start their construction.
Both of these instruments of war are of the eternal imperial weapon grade.
Naturally, these blueprints could not possibly represent Supreme Divine Artifacts.
Supreme Divine Artifacts already stand as the pinnacle of all treasures.
"More mudstone slabs."
As the devouring continued, more mudstone slabs were pulled in, numbering in the tens of thousands, yet this remained only a fraction of the total set.
These slabs contain the records of a cultivation method belonging to the eternal heavens.
"King of the Heavens."
Chu Yuan was already aware that these mudstone slabs were remnants of the King of the Heavens, shattered during the great celestial conflict. The term 'mudstone slab' was merely a label Chu Yuan had assigned them, not their true title.
These slabs offer profound insights not only to him but also provide immense advantages to the empire's elite.
"Upon reaching the Eternal King realm, one can use the Eternal Gate to access the Heavenly Battlefield."
The ancient gateway, the Eternal Gate, swung open.
This portal forged a path, its defensive properties granting a direct passage to the Heavenly Battlefield.
"We ought to make our move as well."
With a faint smile, the Ancestor of Poison was the first to cross the threshold of the Eternal Gate.
To attain the eternal imperial realm, they were required to undergo tempering within the celestial domain.
Following his lead, those who had reached the rank of Eternal King began to depart the Eternal Kingdom, making their way toward the Heavenly Battlefield.
Though the Heavenly Battlefield is fraught with peril, these kings possess the strength to explore it, backed by the might of the Divine Martial Empire.
"The Heavenly Battlefield... it is truly within the celestial realm!"
The empire's Eternal Kings surveyed the battlefield, inhaling the air of this place. It was saturated with celestial aura, the very thing they had craved and sought for so long.
"In this place, we will encounter more rivals and perhaps even perish, but the vastness of this world is what we chase—the eternal imperial realm, or perhaps even becoming a celestial!"
The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons declared.
He understood that while he was a demon within the Divine Martial Empire, the celestial realm held the Celestial of Demons, the source of all demonic power.
Leaving the empire was a quest to discover the path toward the imperial realm.
"Why dwell on it? We are not weaklings in the celestial realm. Our only task is to cultivate and reach the imperial realm first."
Nether spoke with bluntness.
"Reaching the Eternal True God level grants immortality. Yet even the mighty King of the Heavens can fall, and even entire worlds can perish. In my heart, immortality is not the same as invincibility; my Dao is longevity and the pursuit of true eternal life."
The Emperor of Longevity held a singular focus: longevity.
Meanwhile, within the empire.
"The empire's growth is proceeding as planned. I shall continue to seize the powers of this world."
Chu Yuan’s will soared beyond the physical world.
Each celestial is a unique entity, a manifestation of the heavens themselves.
However, if the empire's experts ascend to the celestial level, the dynamic changes because they are part of the empire. Upon becoming celestial, they will instinctively merge back into it.
As the strongest, Chu Yuan is capable of ruling over all.
The empire is the supreme heaven, encompassing every minor heaven, much like an ocean fed by countless rivers that eventually return to it.
Consequently, the empire serves as the origin of all his might.
His method of imperial governance does not involve restricting others from becoming celestials; rather, he actively assists them in doing so.
So long as he maintains the peak combat strength, everything remains a component of the empire.
"Heavens create worlds."
In that moment, Chu Yuan’s spirit surged.
He seemed to shatter an ancient barrier, suddenly exiting the celestial realm to enter a mysterious void.
His will perceived only absolute darkness—a place of nonexistence that could only be detected by a celestial will—yet he could truly feel the expansion of the world.
Beyond the heavens lies a world that does not exist.
This darkness is the void of a nonexistent realm; one cannot perceive what is not there with ordinary sight.
Thus, it is the duty of the heavens to create the world where there was none.
"Originally, there was no sky; it was the heavens that forged the sky, and the heavens themselves are the absolute sky."
In this fleeting moment, Chu Yuan’s spirit became more ethereal and luminous as he grasped the fundamental mechanics of the celestial way.
