Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2077: 2077: The Direction of Heaven and Earth [8 Updates]
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
As the preeminent power in the current Divine Realm, the God naturally possesses vast ambitions. He desires to project the will of the Divine Path across the entire celestial domain, making himself the core of the world. Regarding Chu Yuan’s own strength, many are currently uncertain.
While the true depth of his power remains a mystery to most, it is undeniable that his might is staggering, as he is the one who initiated the Third Era. Across the Divine Realm, various conflicting wills are currently clashing.
Within the empire, Chu Yuan’s imposing form stands tall, scanning the vast map of the Divine Realm. Under the pervasive reach of his will, it seems as though no secret can be kept from him. Simultaneously, the empire itself is undergoing radical transformations.
By integrating the Treasure Realm, Chu Yuan has significantly bolstered his foundation. A massive altar now stands prominently, radiating two distinct auras: one focused on external conquest, sacrificing the savage remnants of the Divine Realm, and the other directed toward the internal prosperity of the empire.
With the support of Treasure, the altar’s power has intensified. Treasure nods in silent agreement, convinced that any outside force refusing to submit must be wiped out with ruthless determination. Rather than wasting time on logic or ideals, it is more effective to annihilate those who resist.
Internally, however, one must rule with the magnanimity and grace of a Holy Emperor. He lets out a soft sigh. Back then, the King of the Heavens was far too idealistic, believing that a perfect system would restrain those with ambition and attempting to tolerate them with kindness.
To achieve legendary feats, one cannot be hindered by petty concerns; even a shred of misplaced mercy is a luxury that cannot be permitted. "The First Era, the Second Era, and the Third Era—this classification of time is quite intriguing," Chu Yuan remarked as he sensed the will of the era.
"The First Era belonged to the King of the Heavens, ending when the Heavenly War cast him down. The Second Era is the age we are in now, which shall conclude with my rise." Yanran noted, "In the Third Era, Chu Yuan, you are the undeniable catalyst. This will be an age of celestial rivalry and mutual consumption."
"Emperor, there are only two paths for the Third Era," Treasure explained. "Either the heavens devour one another until the empire falls, leaving only a few massive heavens to transition into the Fourth Era. Then, the Fourth Era would involve a long period of recovery and power accumulation, eventually leading to a final, titanic struggle for unification."
"Or, my empire claims total victory during the Third Era, leading directly into the eternal unity of the Fourth Era!" Treasure added. Although he had joined the empire out of necessity, the prospect of the coming conflicts filled him with a sense of excitement.
"The world flows in cycles; the First Era sought unity, and the Fourth Era shall do the same." Chu Yuan’s sharp insight allowed him to see through the fabric of reality. This truth remained constant, regardless of the circumstances.
"The winner defines the world," Yanran declared. Chu Yuan, exuding an aura of absolute dominance, stated, "Now that I have appeared, the curtain of the Third Era is rising. Though things seem calm, the world waits for my next move. I shall grant their wish and ensure the Third Era is the shortest one in history."
The three of them had stepped beyond the empire’s space-time, hovering outside the Divine Realm to observe its layout directly. "Every heaven has a unique essence. Some are paralyzed by dread, their foundations shaking in fear of the Third Era. Others are fueled by a thirst for battle, preparing for total war. Emperor, observe: the Demon Realm, the Martial Realm, the Thunder Realm, the Evil Realm, the Law Realm, Hell, and others all show signs of wanting to annex their neighbors."
Treasure pointed out the most significant Supreme Heavens. These powers had endured since the First Era, and their strength was beyond doubt; each had the potential to evolve into a giant heaven. Honestly, witnessing the auras these realms emitted made him feel a sense of trepidation.
Even if he hadn't participated in the Divine Warfare, the arrival of the Third Era was an inevitable force of nature. Had he remained independent, the unique nature of the Treasure Realm would have made it a prime target for the Supreme entities of the Divine Realm looking to strengthen themselves. Joining the empire was, in fact, his best move.
"Treasure, you see now that this is your chance," Yanran said. "I see it clearly now," Treasure replied. "If one cannot stop the era, one must ride its tide." He paused before adding, "Currently, excluding ourselves, the God of the Divine Realm is the most powerful. Not even I can match him. During the Heaven’s War, the God survived a direct strike from the King of the Heavens."
"God." Chu Yuan turned his attention toward the Divine Realm. The title was familiar to him, representing a specific type of ultimate power. The influence of the God’s civilization was vast; anyone claiming that title was formidable, even on the Eternal Path.
"The God achieved enlightenment even before I did. The first Supreme Heaven was the King of the Heavens, and the second was the God. He was the architect of the Second Era and the leader of the Heaven’s War. Without his involvement, victory might have been impossible," Yanran explained.
The second Supreme Heaven. This fact alone, regardless of the war's outcome, proved the God's immense power. He clearly intended to seize control during the Third Era to build a Divine Realm that would dominate all of existence. "After the war, the survivors gained great treasures. The Sun and Moon Supreme Heaven took the eyes of the King of the Heavens, but the God took something else: his wisdom."
Reincarnation added, "In the beginning, he helped the King of the Heavens create the world, learning much from him." Chu Yuan’s eyes flashed. "Wisdom is the ultimate power," Treasure said. "Even the King of the Heavens fell. What does it matter if one takes his parts? Only wisdom allows for the creation of the perfect weapon. To have wisdom is to have everything."
"This God has stayed hidden since the Heaven’s War. He possesses both the King’s wisdom and his own, and no one knows his true level. He will be our most dangerous foe, looking to harvest the fruits of the Third Era." Treasure looked concerned, refusing to underestimate the God.
"It appears a war for the fate of the era is coming," Chu Yuan said, his eyes locked onto the Divine Realm. "A war led by the God against me."
