Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2076: 2076: Pioneer of the Third Era

The integration of the Treasure Realm into the Divine Martial Empire sent shockwaves across the cosmos, creating an impact even more profound than the sacrificial destruction of the Blood Above the Heavens.

An enigmatic and powerful figure from the Treasure Above the Heavens, who had previously abstained from the Battle of the Heavens, has suddenly pledged his loyalty to the Divine Martial. Does he truly believe in the eternal nature of this empire, or have the two parties struck a secret bargain?

Regardless of the endless speculation, the union is now an undeniable reality.

A massive disturbance has rippled through the various Above the Heavens Realms.

“Demon, the Treasure Above the Heavens has unexpectedly submitted to the Divine Martial Empire. This entire situation is shrouded in mystery and strangeness. What could this imply? It appears that following the Battle of the Heavens, the most significant shift since ancient times is descending upon the Above the Heavens Realm.”

Deep within the Demon Realm, a gathering was taking place.

At this moment, four terrifying entities had manifested!

Each of these figures possessed the overwhelming power of Above the Heavens.

Leading them was the Demon Above the Heavens, the progenitor of the Demon Realm. Accompanying him were three other Above the Heavens of lesser standing who served the realm, known respectively as the Second Demonic Heaven, the Third Demonic Heaven, and the Fourth Demonic Heaven.

The Second Demonic Heaven boasted the strength of a high-tier Above the Heavens.

Meanwhile, the Third and Fourth Demonic Heavens wielded the power of ordinary Above the Heavens.

The gathering of these four beings served as a testament to the profound and ancient foundation of the Demon Realm.

“In the chronicles of the Above the Heavens Realm, the first era belonged to the King of the Heavens, a period defined by peace and beauty. The second era was defined by the coexistence of many heavens and the rivalry of heroes. Now, it seems we are crossing the threshold into the third era.”

The Demon Above the Heavens spoke in a low, measured tone, “And this third era shall be defined by reshuffling and absolute chaos.”

“The third era is synonymous with turmoil,” the Second Demonic Heaven declared.

Being naturally warlike, the demons did not fear the coming instability.

“I simply did not anticipate that the catalyst for this third era would be this abruptly rising Divine Martial,” the Demon Above the Heavens remarked, his voice tinged with surprise.

“Demon, the current state of affairs is quite transparent. That Divine Martial has already fanned the flames of conflict, wiped out the Blood Above the Heavens, and now brought the Treasure Realm under his heel. His goal is glaringly obvious: he intends to restart the Battle of the Heavens and surpass the legacy of the King of the Heavens,” stated the Second Demonic Heaven.

The Third Demonic Heaven added a cold sneer, “He aspires to outshine the King of the Heavens? He is simply seeking his own demise. Many dream of such greatness, yet no one dares to make that move so recklessly. While this man’s power is undeniably vast, in my estimation, he is still far from being truly invincible.”

“Those who cannot restrain themselves and instead ignite the fires of war rarely meet a pleasant end,” the Fourth Demonic Heaven chimed in.

“This individual is quite calculating; he surely anticipated this, yet he moved forward regardless. However, this works in our favor. We shall allow his hand to trigger the chaos within the Above the Heavens Realm. The second era has persisted for far too long; it is time for the stalemate to be shattered.”

The Demon Above the Heavens remained composed.

In truth, several top-tier Above the Heavens were already eager to begin consuming weaker heavens to bolster their own might.

Because the second era had been a long-standing deadlock, even though conflicts occurred, they were never on a scale large enough to prevent the number of Above the Heavens from increasing.

However, the premier Above the Heavens—such as Divine, Demon, Martial, and Thunder—mostly traced their origins back to the era of the King of the Heavens. Having survived the original Battle of the Heavens, they represented the pinnacle of power.

In the minds of the demons, Chu Yuan was not considered a product of the second era.

They viewed him as the herald of the third era.

“If the Demon Above the Heavens were to acquire the Treasure, that ultimate divine weapon, his power would even eclipse that of the god of the Divine Heaven!” the Second Demonic Heaven proclaimed.

“Demon, what is the next move for our Demon Realm?”

“For the time being, the Divine Martial will act as the vanguard of the third era. While he must eventually be sacrificed and destroyed in the eyes of all the heavens, we currently need him to disrupt the status quo and incite even greater upheaval,” the Demon Above the Heavens explained.

“Once the veil of the third era is fully drawn back, our Demon Realm must begin the annexation of weaker heavens, absorbing them to expand our dominion,” the Demon Above the Heavens commanded.

“We are certainly not the only ones harboring such intentions,” the Second Demonic Heaven noted.

“Every major top-tier heaven will initiate its own conquest. There are far too many minor heavens; they exist merely to be devoured by the strong. The Above the Heavens Realm does not require such numbers; a select few will suffice.”

The Demon Above the Heavens spoke with chilling ruthlessness.

The third era would be a period of mutual consumption; the more heavens one annexed, the more powerful one would become.

“When should we move against the Divine Martial?”

“The heavens will not unite against the Divine Martial until a certain threshold is crossed. Aside from the Martial Emperor himself, they have the Cycle and the Treasure, both of whom are top-tier Above the Heavens. Toppling them will be no simple feat. As the pioneer of the third era, such strength is to be expected.”

The Demon Above the Heavens remained unruffled.

Destroying the Divine Martial was not a task for a single day; it would require the combined might of every top-tier Above the Heavens.

Whether it was the Demon or the Divine, attacking the Divine Martial now would only result in being used as a tool by others.

Each heaven possessed its own agenda; alliances were not formed out of thin air, but rather out of self-interest.

“Others are more impatient than we are. The Demon Realm’s priority is to extract the maximum benefit from this third era.”

The gaze of the Demon Above the Heavens shifted toward the Divine Realm.

During the first era, there were supreme powers; the Demon had also reaped immense rewards after the King of the Heavens fell, securing the status he held today.

With the dawn of the third era, every Above the Heavens felt it—as if a great curtain were rising over the world.

Many, like the Demon, looked forward to the start of this new age.

This was especially true for the top-tier Above the Heavens.

The powerful Above the Heavens were also on high alert, hoping to use the chaos of the third era to ascend to the top tier while simultaneously defending against being consumed by rivals.

As for the ordinary Above the Heavens, they were the ones who truly dreaded the arrival of this era.

Though they held the rank of Above the Heavens, they were lacking when compared to those who had existed since the first era—much like the three lesser Above the Heavens in the Demon Realm.

Engaging the Martial Emperor too soon would prove too expensive. In the ensuing chaos, they were the most vulnerable to being annexed or sacrificed.

When the top-tier Above the Heavens truly mobilized, the ordinary ones would have no way to resist.

They were currently desperate to figure out how to survive the third era.

They wished to prevent its coming, but it was beyond their control.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, also known as the Divine Heaven.

The realm was bathed in a magnificent divine glow, serving as the home to countless powerful deities.

The creator of this domain was known simply as the God.

The God possessed staggering power and was widely regarded as the strongest of the second era. Even other top-tier Above the Heavens acknowledged that none could defeat him in a one-on-one duel.

However, despite his immense strength, the God had not yet reached the legendary height of the King of the Heavens.

The King of the Heavens’ power had defined an entire epoch; his personal heaven was the Above the Heavens Realm of that age.

The Divine Realm housed even more lesser Above the Heavens than the Demon Realm.

“The third era has begun. The heavens are destined for chaos once more. The Divine Martial has single-handedly torn down the old order, acting as the breaker of the stalemate.”

“Now that the third era is open, the Divine Realm must respond with absolute power. Every heaven is watching us.”

“Indeed, our Divine Realm stood as the pinnacle of the second era. In this third era, we shall dominate. We will bring this era to its conclusion, usher in the fourth era, and offer up the Divine Martial Empire as a sacrifice!”

The Above the Heavens of the Divine Realm were filled with a burning fervor, ready to face the coming storm.
