Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2037: The Plan to Sacrifice the Supreme

Yanran spoke with a composed demeanor, yet her words were nothing short of revolutionary and terrifying.

Her plan was to slaughter true Celestials as sacrifices and seize their essence, ensuring Chu Yuan could ascend to the Celestial state in the shortest possible timeframe.

Every Celestial, regardless of their specific power level, exists as a supreme and inviolable being. However, Yanran’s desire to hunt them down perfectly displayed the overbearing and dominant aura of the Celestial of Reincarnation.

"Sacrificing Celestials to fuel the rise of the Eternal Kingdom is indeed the most efficient path," Chu Yuan agreed with a nod. Offering a living true Celestial as a sacrifice would yield results far superior to simply consuming the corpses of five or six fallen ones.

It was a fundamental shift in quality.

"Though Celestials are formidable, Chu Yuan, if we combine our strengths and strike with overwhelming force to execute one directly, our chances of success are quite high. In fact, I have already identified a target," Yanran stated. Her plan to hunt Celestials was no impulsive thought; it was a long-standing calculation.

"A living Celestial must be slain; the worth of a dead one is far too diminished. Even if I were to assimilate the Heavenly Tomb and that entire battlefield, constructing a Celestial Kingdom would remain a struggle. However, the sacrifice of a living Celestial would provide an immense foundation for the Eternal Kingdom. The more powerful the Celestial’s world is, the more my own strength will grow!"

Chu Yuan’s words exuded a peerless dominance, revealing his ambition to subjugate all the heavens.

He sensed that the Celestials Yanran intended to kill were likely her ancient enemies from factions that opposed her in the past.

"You must prepare yourself before we act. I cannot reveal the identity of our sacrifice yet, as it might trigger a causal connection. The senses of a Celestial are eerily profound. I will also begin my own preparations," Yanran explained.

"It would indeed stir the threads of karma and destiny connected to the Celestials. There is no immediate rush, as my Cultivation has not yet reached its zenith. The Heavenly Tomb is not yet fully refined. To successfully kill a Celestial, every detail must be perfect," Chu Yuan replied.

His plan was to first finish devouring the Heavenly Tomb and the Heavenly Battlefield. Once his power reached its absolute peak, it would be the ideal moment to begin the slaughter of Celestials.

Yanran nodded and then remarked suddenly, "Chu Yuan, your ascent has been incredibly swift. You have clearly encountered a mysterious and profound opportunity—one of great magnitude—though its nature remains hidden from me."

While she was unaware of the System's existence, she had observed that Chu Yuan frequently produced various bizarre and unique treasures.

Some of these items were known to the Celestial civilizations, while others were entirely unheard of.

"It is true. I have obtained a massive opportunity, and it is the primary reason I have achieved such strength," Chu Yuan admitted. Given his current power, even a true Celestial would struggle to kill him, so he no longer felt the need to hide his secrets.

"Despite possessing this great opportunity, I am still searching for its true origin. However, I am certain of one thing: it shares a deep and significant link with the Celestial Realm," Chu Yuan stated openly.

"I see. Regardless of the source of this opportunity, your own foundation remains the most vital element. Treat everything else as a potent tool; do not revere it, but rather, ensure you control it," Yanran advised, realizing that even Chu Yuan was in the dark about its beginnings.

"Once I reach the Celestial state, all these enigmas will be brought to light," Chu Yuan declared. He knew that upon his breakthrough, the true nature of the System would be revealed, leaving no secret hidden from his sight.

"You possess the will of a Celestial, which makes it difficult for others to divine your path. However, as your Eternal Kingdom continues to grow in strength, nothing can stay hidden forever. By then, you will have no reason to fear anything," Yanran said. "I shall leave behind a Reincarnation Imprint. This mark will allow you to open the Gate of Reincarnation within the Celestial Realm at any time to contact me."

"I also have my own tasks to complete."

Following their discussion, Chu Yuan and Yanran went their separate ways.

"Sacrifice the Celestials..."

Chu Yuan transformed into a beam of light, crossing vast stretches of time and space as he moved deeper into the Celestial Realm.

Meanwhile, the conflict between the Martial World and the Thunder World had entered a temporary lull. The presence of the Reincarnation Celestial and Chu Yuan had dampened their desire to continue the war.

The enigmatic Heavenly Emperor had also departed, leaving a trail of unanswered questions in his wake.

At this moment, Chu Yuan was not concerned with those matters.

"A world belonging to a fallen Celestial."

As he traveled through the Celestial Realm, Chu Yuan sensed a lingering aura and discovered a world that had remained after its master's death.

In truth, the Celestial Realm is a unified structure.

Whether it be the Thunder World, the Martial World, the Divine Realm, or the Demon World, they are all integral parts of the Celestial Realm rather than separate dimensions.

Originally, the Celestial King led various Celestials to forge these heavens and earths.

The fragmentation into different realms only occurred after the Celestial King fell, as the remaining Celestials seized territories and used their immense powers to create barriers between worlds.

Chu Yuan focused his attention on the world before him.

This Celestial domain was immense, shrouded in a thick, vibrant haze.

The light it emitted was blinding, and the intoxicating scent of Celestial essence acted as a lure, drawing others toward it.

This world, too, had met its end during the Great Celestial War.

"The concentration of Celestial essence is remarkably high."

Chu Yuan stepped directly into this realm.

Because its master was dead, the world had long since stopped expanding. Chu Yuan’s presence was like a divine consciousness looking down upon the land from above.

The realm was fractured, torn apart by some inconceivable force.

"This is quite different from the Eternal Path."

While the Eternal Path was also the inner world of a deceased Celestial, it was fundamentally different. The Eternal Path was a self-contained world within a Celestial's body, governed by strict eternal laws and order.

This world, however, was in a state of decay.

He could sense that all order had vanished, as the physical body of the Celestial had completely dissolved into the environment.

The reality within was a grim contrast to the beauty seen from the outside; it was a place of darkness, slaughter, chaos, and sin.

"Life still persists here."

Chu Yuan surveyed the gloomy, shadowed landscape. Countless beings were struggling to survive on the broken continents of this world.

His Celestial will swept through the area, identifying several powerful figures. There were a number of Eternal Heavenly Emperors, each ruling over their own territory.

Yet, no matter the region, the inhabitants were locked in a cycle of murder and sin.

Throughout the eons, no one had been able to quell the unending violence.

With a single thought, Chu Yuan understood the mechanics of this realm.

"This place is known as the Land of Sin and Slaughter. Survival here demands constant killing—it is a world of 'kill or be killed.' Entering is simple, but escaping is nearly impossible. If an Eternal Heavenly Emperor attempts to flee, they are struck down by a superior force, as if by divine judgment."

Chu Yuan analyzed the situation further.

Any Eternal Heavenly Emperor who tried to leave would face certain death. This wasn't caused by the natural collapse of the world, but by an external will that forbade their exit.

Only through relentless slaughter could one prolong their life, a rule that applied even to the strongest. Everyone was locked in a desperate struggle for existence.

There was a path to liberation, but it required killing enough beings to accumulate a specific amount of points. Only then could one earn the right to leave.

However, the threshold was impossibly high.

Beyond those who were lured in, vast numbers of beings were periodically thrown into this world from the outside.

"The true secret is now clear to me."

Chu Yuan’s eyes sharpened as he grasped the full reality of the situation.
