Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2041: 2041: Celestial Mind

"Curse it! Curse it all! Who do you think you are? What is your background that you would dare to challenge my authority? Do not cross my path again, or I shall visit such agony upon you that you will beg for the release of death!"

The malevolent heavens let out a furious cry, setting the firmament ablaze with indignation.

In this instant, it appeared as nothing more than a desperate, helpless rage.

A Supreme Divinity had been driven to utter madness by Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan paid no heed to the echoing roars of resentment. As he moved through the layers of time and space, the profound realizations gained from his clash with the malevolent heavens streamed into his mind like a river of enlightenment.

Through these confrontations with the malevolent heavens, his spirit was becoming increasingly indestructible.

Suddenly, his attention was drawn to a specific location.

A figure had materialized there without warning.

It was a man who looked worn by time, possessing deep, hollow eyes and hair that was a chaotic blend of black and white, standing right before Chu Yuan.

Observing him, his face seemed clouded with confusion, as if he were drifting through an uncertain dream.

“A Supreme Divinity.”

Chu Yuan gazed at the weathered man and acknowledged his divine status.

However, the man's condition was strange, resembling someone who had completely lost his way.

“You have not yet attained the rank of a deity, yet you wield power that leaves even the malevolent heavens bewildered. Your strength is immense, your willpower is equal to a god's, and your Supreme Divine Artifacts are things never before seen within the divine realm.”

The man spoke abruptly.

He had been watching Chu Yuan’s previous engagement from the shadows.

“You were wandering the Land of Sin earlier, your mind clouded.”

Chu Yuan watched him closely, “If my deduction is correct, you are the Heart Divine, a master of spiritual Cultivation and a loyal follower of the King of Divinity during the ancient wars—his most trusted aide.”

The power of a deity has its own thresholds.

Ancient divinities generally refers to those who existed before the great divine wars.

Conversely, the malevolent divinities rose to power after those conflicts concluded.

“The strength of the spirit, the King of Divinity... what is it I am chasing? What am I pondering? What is it I truly crave? Does this universe actually have boundaries…”

The Heart Divine did not address Chu Yuan directly; instead, he muttered to himself as if lost in a cycle of self-interrogation.

He was drowning in the pursuit of his own lost ideals.

“Your current state is precarious. You are wandering, filled with self-doubt, and your core beliefs have crumbled.”

Chu Yuan kept his eyes fixed on the Heart Divine.

“I am lost… I am on the verge of forgetting everything.”

The Heart Divine confessed.

It was exactly as he said; he was losing his sense of self, fading to the point of forgetting his very soul.

His purpose had vanished when the King of Divinity fell.

He had wandered into a spiritual dead end, a state of possession gripped by a Heart Demon.

If he failed to liberate himself soon, his will would dissolve entirely, causing him to merge back into the laws of the world—a divinity undergoing self-destruction.

The more profound the obsession, the more devastating the collapse.

“Seek the path of the infinite; find the boundaries within the boundless.”

The Heart Divine appeared and vanished just as suddenly, fading from Chu Yuan’s presence while continuing his low murmurs.

“Heart Divine.”

Chu Yuan watched the figure recede until he was gone.

The man was teetering on the edge of insanity.

He had once stood firmly by the King of Divinity, viewing him as his lord, but the King’s death and the destruction of their shared vision had left him haunted by inner demons from which he could not escape.

Though his body lived, his heart had died with the King of Divinity, buried in the same grave.

His very Foundation had shattered upon the King's demise.

Setting aside the matter of the Heart Divine, Chu Yuan made his way back through the Heavenly Tomb and returned to his Empire.

He had originally planned to hunt for the hidden wealth of the Obsidian Heavenly Emperor, having located its coordinates within the demonic heavens.

Now, however, he deemed it unnecessary; a mere Heavenly Emperor’s hoard was no longer worth his attention.

“I must reach the level of divinity in the shortest time possible.”

Chu Yuan arrived back at the heart of the Empire.

With the Gate of Eternity at his disposal, distance was irrelevant, allowing him to travel almost instantly.

His strategy was clear: fully absorb the Heavenly Tomb and the Heavenly Battlefield, and then join Yanran to hunt down the divinities.

The winds of change were gathering!

The momentum of the Empire surged like a rising tide!

A grand consumption had begun!

Under the relentless force of his devouring power, the process sped up significantly. The eternal divine light radiated outward, while the Tower of Eternity stood as a pillar of stability within the Empire.

The Empire's expansion was relentless; nothing could stand in its way.

Vast amounts of matter were pulled into the Empire, converted into pure rivers of energy.

The Heavenly Tomb was the site of the most brutal conflicts among fallen gods, making it the most difficult region to assimilate, yet it held the greatest treasures.

If he could consume the Heavenly Tomb, the surrounding Heavenly Battlefield would be even easier to absorb.

A frenzy of devouring!

A frenzy of Cultivation!

“The Emperor is using the most aggressive tactics to begin this great assimilation. Soon, the Eternal Kingdom will occupy the entire Heavenly Tomb, using this infinite energy to birth new worlds within our Empire!”

“The Empire is moving forward; the divine realm is within our reach!”

“Subjugate all heavens, consume every divinity, and build an eternal domain. We shall swallow the entire divine realm into the Empire and create endless worlds!”

The citizens of the Empire cried out in jubilation.

The prosperity of the Empire was their own prosperity.

Chu Yuan’s goal was to first push his own strength to the absolute zenith, grasping the ultimate power to dictate all outcomes, followed by the continued growth of the Empire.

The boundaries of the Heavenly Tomb shrank rapidly.

His Empire was growing at a staggering rate.

The corpses of ancient gods were being consumed.

During this expansion, another divine remains were uncovered, but they too could not resist Chu Yuan’s decree. They were transformed instantly into the foundation of the Eternal Kingdom.

Chu Yuan’s display of divine might made his current momentum feel unstoppable.

Boom! A massive wave of divine essence surged as the Empire’s devouring force hit a wall of fierce resistance.

Before him, within a pocket of pure essence, Chu Yuan saw a sanctuary of untainted land. Inside, a gargantuan gourd hovered.

The gourd was as clear as jade, radiating a shifting pattern of seven colors that was breath-taking to behold.

“A Supreme Divine Artifact... the Divine Gourd!”

Chu Yuan looked at the treasure and reached out to claim it.

Many deities had fallen here, naturally leaving behind Supreme Divine Artifacts; some had been destroyed in the fighting, while others remained perfectly preserved.

Even with the Tower of Eternity and the Blade of Calamity in his possession, one could never have too many Supreme Divine Artifacts.

Each of these artifacts possessed the power to reshape the world and stabilize a territory, making one's divine realm even more formidable.

The moment Chu Yuan’s hand moved toward it, boom! The gourd fought back violently. Beams of multicolored divine light turned into lethal auroras, trying to pierce through him.

The power released by the Supreme Divine Artifact was enough to shatter worlds.

“An Artifact Spirit!”

Chu Yuan’s sight pierced through the gourd's outer shell, revealing a true form that looked like a human silhouette.

This was the Artifact Spirit dwelling within; though its master, the divinity, was long dead, the spirit itself survived.

“Who… who are you?”

Sensing the overwhelming and irresistible power emanating from Chu Yuan, the Artifact Spirit was filled with terror and rage. It manifested its form, staring at the encroaching Eternal Kingdom and the legendary Emperor, unable to maintain its composure!
