Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2064: 2064: The System’s True Face

Upon Chu Yuan witnessing the system’s rewards this time, a total transformation had occurred compared to the past. The familiar Destiny Points were nowhere to be found; instead, he was presented directly with the God-level choice system itself.

It appeared that the system’s true rewards were only bestowed upon him after his ascension to the realm of Above Heaven.

Previously, this felt like a mechanism of external control.

While he had possessed the system before, his use of it was merely passive. He had functioned like a cog in a machine, following the various tasks and rewards issued by the system without possessing any true autonomy.

However, the entirety of the system was now his to command.

“Only those who reach the realm of Above Heaven can exert full control over the system and become its true master,” Chu Yuan remarked.

“Allow me to finally strip away your mysterious veil,” he declared.

Standing now in the realm of Above Heaven, his cultivation had reached the absolute peak. No further realms existed beyond this point; even a King of Above Heaven remained within the confines of this realm rather than transcending it.

His vast wisdom and mana shifted, becoming a transcendent force designed to dissect the system—an entity that was intangible yet undeniably real.

The secrets of the system, which had endured for so long, were finally on the verge of being exposed.

Yet, his face remained remarkably composed. He did not show the wild excitement one might expect when uncovering ancient secrets; instead, he was steady, as if this revelation was a natural and inevitable conclusion.

“System Space.”

The System Space was an inherent part of the system, an infinite and profoundly enigmatic internal world that seemed to mirror a world of Above Heaven.

His spirit instantly leaped into a mysterious, uncharted territory. Through his spiritual power, he manifested a physical form for himself, observing a world filled with drifting, gray currents of air.

These swirling airflows were the original currents of all creation.

“Nothing exists without a source; ‘system’ is merely a label given to it. Regardless of its form, it is essentially a set of rules—a program!” Chu Yuan realized.

He understood then that only by attaining the status of true Above Heaven could a person enter this domain.

The system had chosen him, much like a blessing from destiny. However, had he perished along the way, the system would have simply departed, seeking a new host until it found someone capable of mastering it.

“The rules of the system are the rules of Above Heaven!”

Chu Yuan’s spirit suddenly expanded to swallow the mysterious realm, methodically breaking down layers of ancient knowledge.

In this place, a single heartbeat could last for an eternity.

“I see it now!”

Finally, Chu Yuan understood the source of the system’s enigmatic power. Everything clicked into place as he connected the dots.

It was all linked to the King of Above Heaven!

The realm of Above Heaven came first, followed by the King of Above Heaven. Only after a vast period of evolution did the world flourish, leading to the rise of many powerful beings of Above Heaven.

The system functioned as the law of Above Heaven and the primal will of Heaven itself.

Back then, however, that primal will was fragile, resembling a newborn infant.

Utilizing his immense power, the King of Above Heaven established the realm of Above Heaven, causing the world to grow ever larger. Simultaneously, the rules governing Heaven’s will strengthened as the world expanded and life multiplied.

The King of Above Heaven did not possess a private world because the entire realm of Above Heaven was effectively his domain.

Driven by a benevolent purpose, he forged the world, nurturing countless things that resided within the System Time-Space, nestled inside the original will of Heaven.

The System Time-Space served as the original Time-Space of Above Heaven.

Many of the items Chu Yuan had acquired were creations of the King of Above Heaven—such as the various warships, which were unique because they originated solely from him.

The creations of all beings could also be stored within the system’s primal Time-Space.

The system possessed its own will, though it was closer to a set of eternal rules. It functioned in a rigid, mechanical manner, lacking the independent thoughts of a living soul.

The King of Above Heaven was the one who had named it the “system.”

It represented a framework for operation, devoid of personal bias, functioning with total fairness and neutrality.

The King of Above Heaven had envisioned the system as the governor of the realm of Above Heaven, allowing the world to expand indefinitely.

Thus, the system symbolized the governing rules of the realm of Above Heaven during that era—the system’s laws.

The term “system” itself implied a structure of order and regulation.

In the primordial era, everyone played a part in opening the heavens and earth, causing the system’s power to grow immensely. Lacking emotion, it ruled with absolute impartiality.

He had suspected this before.

Now, it was simply confirmed.

“The system is the governing rule of the realm of Above Heaven, ensuring the world continues to function.”

Chu Yuan spoke softly, “However, it only represents the era before the Great War of Above Heaven broke out.”

During that time, those of Above Heaven could sense a massive, limitless power hanging over the realm. The more they expanded the world, the more oppressive these rules became, eventually sparking fear within them.

As the first Above Heaven, the King of Above Heaven was viewed with suspicion; many feared he was hiding dark schemes.

They mistakenly believed these rules were the personal will of the King of Above Heaven. They felt that no matter how much they achieved, they remained lesser Above Heavens beneath him.

The King of Above Heaven offered no explanations, realizing that words would be useless.

These rules were not something he had manufactured at the start; they had manifested naturally as the realm of Above Heaven emerged from the void, born alongside the world’s operational laws.

Then, the battle of Above Heaven commenced, and the King of Above Heaven met his end.

Following his fall, the world was torn apart, peace was lost, and the system—carrying the original Time-Space—converted into a unique energy and vanished.

The disappearance of this power only reinforced the belief of the survivors that they had crushed the King’s conspiracy and dismantled his power, leaving no one to restrain them.

“The system embodies the rules of the old realm of Above Heaven, not the current state of things.”

Chu Yuan’s sight pierced through the entire original Time-Space. It was still active, functioning like the brain of Above Heaven—a massive computational engine birthing endless treasures within that primal space.

Now, possessing the vision of Above Heaven, he could see through the original Time-Space completely, witnessing the infinite riches within.

In the past, he had to earn these treasures by finishing tasks to get rewards from the system.

The legendary healing potions were actually condensed forms of the system’s original power, which explained their terrifyingly potent effects.

But things were different now.

With his cultivation at the level of Above Heaven, every treasure within the system’s original space belonged to him. He could simply take them.

This made the issuance of Destiny Points or specific rewards unnecessary.

Since everything was already his, there was no need for exchange.

Destiny Points had merely been a form of currency used to trade for goods.

In the ages past, the system might have had many hosts, but none had been able to unlock its secrets until they reached Above Heaven.

Now that Chu Yuan had truly claimed the system and gained full mastery over it, no more tasks would be forced upon him.

Having ascended to Above Heaven, he was no longer a mere host—he was the master of the system!

The difference in status was monumental.

“Since the system will no longer provide tasks, I shall be the one to set the objectives for myself and the entire empire.”

Having mastered the system, Chu Yuan’s Above Heaven consciousness had reached an entirely new peak.
