Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2062: 2062: Ascending to the Supreme Realm
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
The cycle of the divine departed, and no one could stop its retreat.
Interference was impossible.
The original goal of the divine beings was to seize the power of reincarnation, but their schemes were ruined by the chaos sown by the Divine of the Heart. None among them wished to battle a Divine of the Heart who had fallen into madness.
One by one, the divines withdrew their immense powers.
Eventually, only the Divine of the Heart remained. With a vacant and confused expression, he wandered aimlessly in one direction until his figure slowly faded away.
An obsession still burned within his soul; he was still searching.
This manifestation of the divines shook the realm of the divine to its core. Many sensed that the coming era would no longer be peaceful.
Perhaps a great upheaval or massive wars were on the horizon.
This impending conflict would birth a new era and restructure the laws of heaven and earth.
However, certain ancient divines did not view this as a catastrophic threat. They believed no matter how violent the struggle, it could never match the scale and tragedy of the ancient battle of the divines.
There can only ever be a single sovereign of the divines, and that figure has already been cast down.
Currently, no one possesses the capability to reach the heights of the sovereign of the divines.
Even if the cycle of the divine seeks a resurgence, it is deemed impossible. They know that as long as the cycle of reincarnation persists, the future will be turbulent, yet they remain confident.
Nevertheless, one must remain vigilant.
At that moment, Chu Yuan returned to the empire in an instant.
His aura was as vast as the firmament and the ocean, ruling over countless worlds. He wielded a terrifying power, his will and mind prepared to shatter any obstacle.
“Yanran, I have crossed paths with the Divine of the Heart before. His heart once birthed a beautiful world, only to transform into a demonic obsession intent on ruining heaven and earth, shifting from one extreme to the other,” Chu Yuan remarked softly.
“The Divine of the Heart... he is not like me.”
Yanran remained composed as she spoke, “His obsession is too deep. He adopted the ideals of the sovereign of the divines as his own, making them his entire world. That is why he fell into such extremes. When those ideals shattered, it was as if his very life was extinguished.”
“If ideals are lost, then forge new ones. To the Divine of the Heart, the world is now nothing but darkness. If he can find light again, he can escape this obsession,” Chu Yuan stated.
“He requires a new ideal to guide him out. Chu Yuan, though your path differs from the sovereign of the divines, the essence is the same. This might be what saves the Divine of the Heart.”
Yanran thought for a moment before adding, “However, the Divine of the Heart has currently turned into a terrifying and extreme source of a curse. To restore his light, one must first be able to endure that curse.”
“It does not matter. I possess absolute certainty; curses do not intimidate me. Whether he can emerge from the darkness depends mostly on the Divine of the Heart himself,” Chu Yuan replied.
“I see,” Yanran understood.
Once Chu Yuan achieves divinity, he can harness the power of the divine. His ideology of eternal unification could light the way for the Divine of the Heart. But success hinges on whether the Divine of the Heart accepts Chu Yuan’s Dao.
If he rejects it, he will stay lost in his current state.
But if the Divine of the Heart accepts it, he will become Chu Yuan’s most loyal supporter, just as he once served the sovereign of the divines.
Every step Chu Yuan took was a move toward eternal unification.
“Because of my presence, many divines are now watching you. This will cause you great trouble,” Yanran noted.
“One cannot have both the fish and the bear’s paw; gain always comes with loss. Without you, Yanran, I would not have gained the power from sacrificing the sun and moon divines, nor could I have killed the malice divine alone. My strength is too great to hide; no powerful figure in history has ever avoided being targeted. We must take the initiative to start the war and forge a new era.”
Chu Yuan’s empire had spent years in battle, and he understood these truths perfectly.
One must act first to seize the advantage.
“That is true.”
Yanran realized that without these bold moves, it was uncertain how long it would have taken Chu Yuan to gather the power needed for Cultivation to the divine level, nor would he be this formidable.
Of course, while many divines were aware of Chu Yuan, they did not yet equate him with the sovereign of the divines.
There was only ever one sovereign of the divines, and he had become a forbidden subject.
“Furthermore, Chu Yuan, once you reach divinity, you do not need to immediately pull the Divine of the Heart out of his transformed state,” Yanran suggested.
She and the Divine of the Heart were once the wings of the sovereign of the divine. If both were seen at Chu Yuan’s side right away, the world would assume he inherited the sovereign’s forbidden ambitions.
“Everything is within my plans and under my control.”
Chu Yuan shut his eyes as his Qi circulated rapidly. “The moment has arrived. I shall ascend to the divine realm now. My breakthrough shall have no obstacles, no heavenly tribulations, and no one can stop me!”
His indomitable ambition surged through the entire empire at that instant.
He began his ascension to divinity with incredible speed and irresistible force.
The sacrifices of the Sun and Moon Divines, along with the Malice Divine, had granted him more than enough power to reach this stage.
Upon reaching divinity, his strength would grow exponentially, placing him among the peak powers of the divine realm.
As a divine being, he would finally have the power to temper the Divine Martial Sword into a true Divine Artifact.
This was his personal weapon, forged by his own hands, representing the ultimate majesty of the Eternal Divine Martial Empire—once drawn, it was unstoppable.
In that moment, his spirit and his imperial body entered a profound dimension.
His will blanketed the entire Divine Martial Empire.
He felt as though he had transcended, becoming detached from the world. He was no longer just within the realm of the divine, but in a space of extreme mystery.
When he looked down at his empire, it was as if he were looking from outside the world, seeing its entirety.
This was more than just his will covering the land; because the empire existed within the realm of the divine, he now felt as if he stood beyond the realm itself.
“The true face of Mount Lu is hidden only because you are standing upon it.”
Chu Yuan’s current state allowed him to see beyond the mountain, observing from an external world.
He sensed his surroundings, a strange feeling of moving through non-existent worlds, yet knowing that with divine power, reality could be birthed.
“With divine power, I create existence from nothingness!”
Chu Yuan’s voice echoed across the empire.
Simultaneously.
The entire empire underwent a massive transformation. It became drenched in the aura of true divinity, with pillars of light from various worlds crossing and merging—a radiance found only in the realm of the divine.
“Divine! Divine! Divine!”
The citizens of the empire broke out into thunderous cheers.
They had waited long for this day.
The ascension of an entire nation to a higher dimension was a breathtaking sight.
Looking toward the heavens, they saw a massive, hazy silhouette radiating endless imperial pressure, controlling everything and pulling the empire into the divine realm.
This evolution would normally take a long time for the empire.
However, Chu Yuan manipulated the flow of time, his control over it being vastly superior to the empire's natural pace.
A mighty force reshaped the nation, ensuring the Foundation was solid as the empire rose to new heights.
“The divine creates heaven and earth!”
As Chu Yuan ascended, the empire expanded from within. This growth was not like the previous absorption of the Heavenly Tomb; it was the birth of his own unique world.
