Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2084: The Realm Above Heaven
Previously on Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System...
Kun Yuan realized that persisting in this manner would surely lead to his demise.
At this moment, his sole escape route lay in invoking the name of the God Weapon Emperor.
Beyond the God Weapon Emperor, summoning even the gods themselves would bring no aid to pull him from peril.
While the gods might welcome those fleeing to them, they wouldn't step in to save anyone directly; instead, they functioned more like overseers akin to the Alliance Leader.
The God Weapon Emperor stood apart.
He possessed the ability to accomplish whatever was needed.
"Invoke the God Weapon Emperor!" The demon paused uncertainly.
"Kun Yuan, your summons has reached me."
Suddenly, a mighty surge of energy slammed straight into the massive visage, instantly reducing it to swirling gray vapors.
The oppressive force surrounding Kun Yuan got obliterated by Chu Yuan's assault.
"God Weapon Emperor, your prowess is truly unmatched. You might surpass even the Emperor of Heaven in might. Our ultimate clash will conclude the Third Era."
The demon's words resounded, aware that confronting the God Weapon Emperor solo wasn't feasible yet, as the moment hadn't arrived.
"The demon has retreated just now."
Kun Yuan stood stunned; the God Weapon Emperor's grandeur had compelled such a formidable foe to withdraw with ease.
Spotting the approaching form, he sensed an immense gulf like that between heaven and earth, and promptly declared: "Kun Yuan pays respects to the mighty Emperor, ready to swear loyalty to you!"
He had once aspired to forge his own lineage in the Third Era, yet harsh truths had awakened him.
Within this age, his role amounted to submitting to a superior power.
Such was the plight of the feeble, stripped even of their independence.
"Kun Yuan, come back to the Empire alongside me."
Chu Yuan guided Kun Yuan, making their way steadily back to the Empire.
"We've welcomed a new ally."
Treasure grinned, adding, "Kun Yuan, entering the Empire makes you part of our ranks. United, we'll forge the path to a brighter Fourth Era."
"I've realized that in this time, devoting oneself to the Emperor stands as the smartest decision."
Kun Yuan stated.
The fresh era had dawned, with conflicts raging fiercer than ever.
Tales of the demon pursuing Kun Yuan, only for the God Weapon Emperor to swoop in and rescue him outright, spread far across the realms.
Although certain lesser powers harbored their dreams, the brutal facts denied them any shot, leaving them prey to pursuits by mighty empyreans, stirring dread and unrest.
Aligning with the God Weapon Emperor promised deliverance through his hand, casting a beam of hope amid the darkness.
Consequently, this pattern unfolded.
A few of the vulnerable sought shelter in the Divine Realm, convinced the gods could overcome the God Weapon Emperor just as they had the Emperor of Heaven.
Meanwhile, others, cornered by inevitable assaults, cried out the God Weapon Emperor's name, prompting his arrival with overwhelming might to shield them.
"The Emperor's approach proves spot on, battling the mighty while shielding the humble. This bolsters our forces far better than blind slaughter!"
Treasure felt profoundly persuaded by the Emperor's visionary strategy.
Since the Third Era's onset, the Empire hadn't launched aggressive campaigns, yet the endangered weaklings chose to enlist voluntarily, eager to integrate into its fold.
These surviving entities vastly bolstered the Empire's might.
"It's infuriating—while we target the weak, their pleas to the God Weapon Emperor summon his aid, fueling his swift ascent!"
"The God Weapon Emperor's meddling has severely hampered our purge of the heavens!"
"We can't let this drag on; unlike the Emperor of Heaven, the God Weapon Emperor poses a tougher challenge!"
"And the gods refuse to step in as well!"
"The gods won't interfere at present; they pursue their schemes, seizing this chance to build their strength and secure their edge, with numerous heavenly entities swearing fealty to them."
"This path disadvantages us greatly. All, let's unite our efforts and test how many the God Weapon Emperor can possibly protect!"
The minds of the supreme heavenly powers clashed.
The Third Era's unfolding deviated sharply from their expectations.
As the spark behind the Third Era, the God Weapon Emperor defied their designs, mastering the chaos with tactics that unsettled his adversaries.
"I won't allow the Third Era to endure; it's merely a bridge to the Fourth Era."
Chu Yuan stared into a mirroring void, beholding endless battles.
Turmoil engulfed the cosmos.
Through Chu Yuan's sight, the Third Era wasn't for the frail heavens to absorb strength, but for him to clear them out, leveraging his supreme dominance to shove them from the stage.
"The Emperor sets himself apart from us."
Treasure observed Chu Yuan.
He noted that once the Third Era truly ignited, the Emperor diverged from their kind.
Gazing at that imposing silhouette, which surveyed the boundless, it appeared perched in a plane beyond their own, within a divine sphere.
The heavenly domain represented an elevated tier above the heavens, eternally grander and more potent.
His own power fell short of bridging to the Emperor.
"Chu Yuan hails from the heavens too, but he embodies a superior heaven, a loftier plane. That's the height the Emperor of Heaven once scaled, beyond my grasp, and in the current heavenly sphere, just two attain it: Chu Yuan and God."
Comely remarked.
Treasure agreed with a nod.
God's might was undeniably alarming.
Yet he held that the God Weapon Emperor inspired greater awe.
The Gods hesitated to draw back the veil on the Third Era, but the Emperor unveiled it personally; that alone outshone the Gods' resolve against the Emperor's.
The Gods might weigh their options, yet they lacked the Emperor's drive.
"See how the conflicts blaze hotter."
Chu Yuan watched the war's inferno, which carried profound weight in his gaze, as if fully cleansing the rot from bygone ages.
"Chu Yuan, what's your plan moving forward?"
Comely asked.
"Of course, to wrap up the Third Era. The more it stretches, the worse the catastrophe. I sparked the Third Era not for their fusions; those unions hold no value. I'll unleash my methods to trigger the Third Era's climactic clash, erasing every supreme heavenly power and ushering in the Fourth Era."
Chu Yuan responded deliberately.
"You're preparing to move."
Comely nodded.
She recognized Chu Yuan's aim to confront those supreme heavenly powers; after all, handling the lesser ones yielded scant impact.
Disruptions in the Fourth Era would stem from those top heavenly beings.
She grasped too that striking at the supreme ones would hasten their rally into a massive showdown against Chu Yuan.
Still, this phase proved essential.
"The Demon Realm stirs with activity, even eradicating common heavenly entities; now's the moment to strike at them."
Chu Yuan fixed his focus on the Demon Realm, tore open the gateway, aimed right for it, and then voiced more: "The hour arrives; I await their full alliance. A fresh era demands war's trial by fire to truly triumph."
