Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2065: Tool

It was only at this precise moment that Chu Yuan truly made the system his own, shifting from passive consumption to active mastery.

This represented a massive breakthrough, a level of control that could only be attained by one at the Sovereign realm.

Chu Yuan’s current cultivation had already reached the absolute zenith of the cosmos. With no further boundaries to shatter, his only path forward was the endless accumulation of power.

In its original form, the system was the divine realm itself, serving as the manifestation of origin, laws, providence, and impartial justice.

It carried the collective hopes of the Sovereign and countless celestials, infused with their purest desires.

This was far more than a simple collection of origin rules; its significance was much deeper.

The energy that once saturated the divine realm vanished when the Sovereign fell, yet a lingering will remained—the undying pursuit of the Sovereign.

"So, this is the system's true form!"

Chu Yuan’s consciousness became as clear as refined crystal.

The system encompassed an incredible depth of existence.

Now, with but a single thought, he could transform himself into the ultimate system. He could bestow it upon a chosen individual or divide it into millions of sub-systems to accelerate the cultivation of the Empire's citizens.

His invincible strength provided the foundation to sustain such a feat.

His will could blanket the world, generating tasks for hosts to fulfill, for which he would then distribute various rewards.

Naturally, these rewards were not created from nothing; they required his own divine creation to manifest.

He could now project his intent to any corner of the divine cosmos, granting others a system identical to the Mysterious Selection System he had once utilized.

"Every celestial acts as a creator of the cosmos, their vast will saturating the divine realm. Such providence effectively turns everyone into a system!"

Chu Yuan’s heart felt as bright and pure as fallen snow.

In a flash, a torrent of realizations flooded his mind.

The nature of the divine was essentially the existence of a system.

It felt as though his celestial will was ascending toward the Sovereign's domain, the highest heavens above all else.

"When the Sovereign guided the celestials in world-creation, it was meant to fortify the system. He aimed to keep providence fair and just while striving to make the system the most powerful governing force of the divine world’s operations. Ultimately, however, he failed."

Chu Yuan now fully grasped the Sovereign’s grand design.

Could the Sovereign truly have been ignorant of the fact that an increase in celestials would breed ambition and lead to the destruction of beauty?

He was aware, and he had devised a strategy to negate it by using the system as a surrogate for individual rule.

The system was not a single entity but a fusion of countless forces. By strengthening the system through the celestials' cultivation, he hoped to instill a collective aspiration for virtue to keep the divine world running smoothly.

In this manner, as the number of celestials grew, the system’s potency would likewise increase, constantly expanding under his guidance.

Nevertheless, the system was still just a system. Its cold, emotionless impartiality could indeed maintain fairness, ensuring everything functioned according to the system’s internal logic.

Yet, it was this very lack of emotion that caused the Sovereign’s ultimate defeat.

In all things, absolute fairness is a myth; only absolute strength is real.

To establish a premise of absolute fairness, one must first possess the absolute strength to enforce it.

Chu Yuan understood this perfectly. Because the system was a mechanical program, it could no longer suppress the celestials once their ambitions outgrew its parameters, leading to an inevitable collapse.

In the end, personal strength is the only thing that matters.

If one’s power is truly peerless, who would dare to oppose you or sabotage your vision?

The only fate for those who seek destruction is death.

Chu Yuan knew that ambition cannot be merely suppressed; it must be eradicated. The Sovereign had been too captivated by beauty, and that sentimentalism led to his downfall.

"The Sovereign turned the laws of the cosmos into the ultimate system, yet he did not rule over it. I can hold the system, but my path will be different from his!" Chu Yuan declared.

"I shall also forge an Empire System, imbued with power, justice, and selflessness. However, there is one condition: the system must be under my absolute control!"

Chu Yuan could create and manage the system, but the final authority had to remain solely with him.

He sought a path of total dominance, intending to silence any voice that rose against him.

Only through total rule could everything be kept in check.

He would not repeat the Sovereign’s mistakes; that was a certain path to catastrophe.

Chu Yuan was not like the Sovereign. His mercy was reserved only for the subjects of his Empire. He understood clearly that without a total purge of the old order, nothing would ever truly change.

To be an Emperor, one must possess both a heart of compassion for the world and the cold-blooded resolve to cleanse it.

He now perceived the cosmos as having three distinct tiers.

The divine realm served as the first layer—the core foundation and birthplace of all existence, where the strongest system maintained vast operations.

The system itself was the second layer, the mechanism of rule.

And Chu Yuan stood at the third layer—the highest tier, overseeing everything.

Rumble... As this realization took hold, his spirit became completely transparent.

"Every secret of the system has finally been laid bare."

As Chu Yuan’s consciousness returned, he began using his mastery over the system to build an even more powerful version within the Empire.

To him, the system was nothing more than a tool to uphold his reign.

"Chu Yuan, now that you have reached the divine stage, you have completely mastered that immense fortune." Yan Ran remarked as she looked at him.

While Chu Yuan had processed a vast amount of information, in the physical world, only a brief moment had passed.

"Indeed, I now see the full picture. That great fortune of mine was originally the power of cosmic law and providence, operating as a system."

Chu Yuan kept nothing hidden from Yan Ran.

There was no point in secrecy. With the level of power he now wielded, there was nothing he could not reveal.

"The system... the divine Sovereign’s cosmic providence, turned into a system of fate. It was designed to absorb the strength of many celestials to become the most powerful existence. But in the end, a system is merely a tool. Its strength is its lack of bias, but its weakness lies there as well."

Yan Ran, possessing infinite wisdom, understood the situation immediately through Chu Yuan’s explanation.

As the Sovereign’s former left hand, she had felt that supreme providence back then, yet she had never thought to seize it.

She hadn't expected that this ultimate providence would evolve into a system and end up in Chu Yuan's hands.

It was no wonder she had felt a fated compulsion to assist him.

Observing Chu Yuan now, she saw he had become divine. His power was no less than her own, and in certain aspects, he had even surpassed her.

"A tool is just a tool. No matter how great it becomes, it still needs a master. Chu Yuan, I understand your intent. A system can exist, but you must be the one who holds the leash." Yan Ran said.

Her goals were similar to the Sovereign's, but her tactics were far more pragmatic.

To realize her dream, she would use any method required, having long ago abandoned a simple love for peace.

The Sovereign’s path had been proven a failure by history; therefore, they would take a new road, adopting Chu Yuan’s more aggressive and uncompromising style.

"Exactly. I will establish a system within the Empire and project its power across the entire divine world. Only the absolute strongest can crush all opposition!"

Chu Yuan’s declaration echoed with the arrogance of a supreme ruler!
