Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2075: Violent Storm
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
The Treasure Realm has officially integrated into the Empire.
This alliance does more than just add a top-tier powerhouse to the Empire’s ranks; it brings the immense heritage and resources of the Treasure Realm along with it.
In various aspects, this move compensates for the Empire's previous shortage of high-level experts.
Chu Yuan is well aware that as more powerful beings gather within the Empire, a more unified faith converges upon him, providing him with even greater strength.
"Divine Martial Emperor, shall we announce the union of the Treasure Realm to the public? Or should we keep it hidden, ensuring others remain ignorant of our relationship with the Empire until the perfect moment to strike and create the maximum sensation?"
Treasure inquired.
"Both choices have their merits," Yanran remarked simply.
"Indeed, both paths offer advantages, but from my perspective, secrecy is unnecessary. Such news cannot be buried forever, so why not proclaim directly that the Treasure Realm has become a part of my Empire? Let the news spread and cause a sensation. Isn't that superior? Since the world knows my ambitions and many are waiting to disrupt the balance, I shall grant them their wish."
Chu Yuan spoke with calm authority: "I intend to ignite a battle of the cosmos, forcibly ushering in the next era. In such a massive war, petty conspiracies are useless. Only through the most formidable power, in an open and fair clash, can all obstacles be pulverized by absolute strength."
Victory in this conflict can only be achieved by dominating every direction with overwhelming force.
Treasure nodded in agreement. As a powerhouse who had previously opted for neutrality in the battle of the cosmos, his sudden integration into the Empire would cause an immense stir, drawing every eye toward the Empire.
However, since the Divine Martial Emperor had already slain Blood Cosmos, he was already the center of attention and remained unconcerned.
"Dismantle the barriers between our two realms. Let the Empire and the Treasure Realm merge so that they may communicate freely from this day forward."
Chu Yuan commanded.
With the capabilities of a celestial, any location could be reached in an instant; now that the barrier was gone, they had truly become one family.
"I, Treasure Cosmos, hereby declare that the Treasure Realm is now a part of the Divine Martial Empire!"
Treasure’s voice boomed across the realms.
"Treasure, come with me into the Empire now."
Chu Yuan personally escorted Treasure into the heart of the Empire.
Inside the Empire lay a magnificent sight: an eternal imperial city radiating a most sacred light. Its surging fortune billowed outward, forging the foundations of an immortal Empire.
"So this is the interior of the Divine Martial Empire."
Treasure, possessing profound cultivation and wisdom, suddenly sensed an unusual presence and remarked: "Emperor, there is a very peculiar power within the Empire, one that feels both omnipresent and majestic."
"You are referring to the system."
Chu Yuan explained: "This is the system of my Empire, a type of operational law. It generates various choices and tasks that represent different opportunities. Every citizen of the Empire might suddenly receive system choices, which serves as the very source of the Empire."
"The King of Cosmos once utilized the source and destiny of the Cosmos to forge a system, hoping it would become the ultimate existence within the Cosmos to lead all heavens with impartiality. He believed that the more heavens there were, the stronger the destiny and the system would become. He hoped to ensure the Cosmos always embraced beauty and peace, but the King of Cosmos failed; an impartial system cannot suppress raw ambition."
Yanran added.
"Therefore, the Emperor also employs the system to establish impartial operational rules that oversee the Empire's functions. This differs from the King of Cosmos; the Emperor is the one who holds absolute control over these rules."
Treasure immediately grasped Chu Yuan’s intent.
Everyone must be bound by the operation of these rules, and those who dare to defy them face punishment, while the Emperor sits at the pinnacle, supervising the system’s execution.
One's ambition might struggle against the system, but it cannot withstand the might of the Peerless Divine Martial Emperor.
Only with absolute, invincible power can all worldly ambitions be quelled.
"Only by being invincible does one earn the right to dictate the rules."
Chu Yuan stated: "Gourd, from this moment on, follow Treasure. Let him instruct you on how to become a celestial being in your capacity as an artifact spirit."
"Gourd pays his respects to Treasure Cosmos."
Gourd was visibly thrilled at this chance.
Treasure is the world’s premier refining master. With the Emperor’s backing and Treasure’s guidance, Gourd's potential to reach celestial status was massive.
"The Emperor will soon lead a campaign across the heavens to annihilate more cosmoses. With the power of celestial sacrifice and my mentorship, Gourd has a significant opportunity to break through to the celestial realm, though it ultimately depends on his own grand destiny."
Treasure did not refuse the task.
Gourd himself is a treasure; Treasure was more than willing to teach his own kind. Having joined the Empire, he had to consider his future standing.
If Gourd achieved celestial status alongside Heaven Furnace, the lineage of treasures would boast three celestials, making his own position even more secure.
Thus, he was prepared to dedicate himself fully to Gourd's cultivation.
"Treasure, while I will not allow the treasures of the Treasure Realm to be exploited, you must organize the Treasure Army to follow the Empire when I campaign through the heavens. This training phase is your responsibility."
Chu Yuan commanded.
"I shall handle it. My Treasure Realm possesses countless treasures; some have incredible powers that cannot be formed into an army through conventional means. Only I, who have mastered them, can achieve this perfectly."
Treasure declared: "Under my command, the Treasure Realm will offer its full faith to the Empire!"
It was time for the celestial powers to witness the true strength of the Treasure Realm.
"Good."
Chu Yuan approved.
At that moment, as he stood within the Empire, even more vast worlds were being forged. During this creation process, endless energy was funneled into the Empire.
Celestials possess the power to create something from nothing.
With Treasure’s inclusion, massive military exercises and artifact refining commenced.
It could be said that through his efforts, every single soldier of the Empire was armed to the teeth.
Chu Yuan even collaborated with Treasure to design various equipment blueprints, integrating them into the system for automated crafting.
This marked a reversal of status.
He had transitioned from being a passive user of the system’s various powers to becoming the sovereign of the system, using his own immense strength to bolster the system itself.
"The Treasure Realm and the Divine Martial Empire are actually merging and tearing down the barriers between worlds; this isn't a forced annexation, but the Treasure Realm choosing to become part of the Empire!"
"The radiance of treasures is shining with such intensity; what is happening? Why is the Treasure Realm forming such a profound bond with the Divine Martial Empire!"
Meanwhile, the transformations within the Treasure Realm quickly caught the attention of many beings across the cosmos.
"Is it possible that Treasure Cosmos has already joined the Divine Martial Empire and become a part of it?"
This revelation immediately triggered a violent storm of speculation!
Treasure Cosmos is legendary—the greatest refining master in the heavens. Many cosmos beings had sought him out to forge divine artifacts; furthermore, the Treasure Realm held wealth beyond measure.
And Treasure himself was a top-tier cosmos power, the ultimate divine soldier.
Given the Divine Martial Emperor’s already terrifying strength, now that he had acquired Treasure, how much further would his power skyrocket? Who could possibly stand against him?
The most shocking element was Treasure’s change in stance.
Treasure had remained neutral during the previous battle of the cosmos, yet his sudden alliance with the Empire signaled that he was finally ready to join the war.
