Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

Chapter 2009: Chapter 2009: The Empire Plan

The Eternal Emperor Realm is divided into two parts.

For all Eternal Kings aspiring to reach the Emperor Realm, there are only two paths.

One is the elevation of their power by the heavens, which makes them an Imperial Monarch.

The other is to create their own heaven with their own mana and become a stronger Celestial Emperor.

It’s not to say that an Imperial Monarch is necessarily weaker than a Celestial Emperor, but a Celestial Emperor undoubtedly holds greater potential.

However, once one’s power is elevated by the heavens, the possibility of achieving the heavens is cut off because you cannot be equal to the heavens.

However, achieving the title of Eternal Celestial Emperor is extremely difficult, with more than ninety-nine percent of Eternal Kings trapped, so turning to the heavens to become an Imperial Monarch is a good choice.

After all, if reaching the Emperor Realm is this difficult, not to mention becoming the strongest heavenly being, over long eras, how many Celestial Emperors have attained the greatness of the heavens?

Moreover, they receive the protection of the heavens.

Nevertheless, there is no shortage of ambitious people in this world who still wish to rely on their own strength to achieve the Emperor Realm.

Of course, the heavens won’t elevate kings endlessly, as it depletes their heavenly origin. It can be said that the stronger the heavenly world, the more strong ones it can carry.

Additionally, it’s not necessarily true that an Imperial Monarch is weaker than a Celestial Emperor.

After all, an Imperial Monarch is loyal to the heavens, and every gesture conveys the authority of the heavens, like a god.

Nonetheless, an Imperial Monarch has their limits, greatly dependent on the heavens’ cap, making it impossible to have an unrivaled Celestial Emperor.

"Mandate of Heaven, Longevity and Everlasting Prosperity."

Chu Yuan thought of these eight words.

Mandate of Heaven, Longevity and Everlasting Prosperity.

Imperial Monarchs are mandated by the heavens, the true children of the heavens.

However, no matter how powerful the Emperor Realm, it is ultimately within the world. Only the heavens are greater than the heavens, existing outside of them.

Chu Yuan established his Eternal Kingdom.

His current realm is that of an Eternal Celestial Emperor, infinitely close to the heavens.

Unlike other Celestial Emperors, Chu Yuan already embodies the will of the heavens and can potentially become a heavenly entity transcending the world.

It is precisely because he possesses the will of the heavens that he can withstand the Eternal Cataclysm.

"In the Heavenly Realm, there are even mightier gods above, and I can only be considered a god within the Eternal Road."

The god calmly remarked.

"God, you represent the Divine Path civilization within my Eternal Kingdom. You need not belittle yourselves. Having cultivated to your current strength in the secluded Eternal Road already speaks of your talent."

Chu Yuan declared, "Some among you have the potential to reach the Eternal Emperor Realm."

"Even if we reach the Eternal Emperor Realm, we are still part of the empire, obeying the Emperor’s commands."

The demon humbly said.

"I hope you can achieve the Emperor Realm through your own abilities, with the potential to become the heavens."

Chu Yuan stated.

The Imperial Path civilization accommodates all powers, with the Emperor’s authority suppressing everything. Even if a heavenly being emerges, it is still part of the empire.

In Chu Yuan’s vision, the empire is the greatest of the heavens.

Of course, every heavenly being transcends the world.

And to win their willing submission, there must be an invincible figure to subdue them. Chu Yuan, having battled until now, understands this, but he has confidence.

An empire’s ruler must possess the strongest power.

The Heavenly Realm, vast and grand, is his true battleground.

"Soon, I will open an Eternal Passage, allowing you to leave the Heavenly Tomb. Only Eternal Celestial Lords can leave first. Then it will gradually extend to Eternal Celestial Gods, True Gods, and Origin Spirits, while the empire will integrate the entire Heavenly Tomb and Heavenly Battlefield."

Chu Yuan’s strategy involves multiple steps.

First, let the strong emerge to stabilize the situation, establish a stable base, and then the weaker ones can appear.

He has an even greater plan, to expand the Eternal Kingdom, merge with the Heavenly Tomb, and annex the Heavenly Battlefield, using this as a foundation to create his Heavenly Realm.

Of course.

He is aware that within the Heavenly Tomb, there are other deceased heavenly beings that must be cleared first.

Now in the Heavenly Realm, implementing his plan step by step, he is confident that a new heavenly being will soon emerge.

Even with Chu Yuan’s current strength, although not yet accomplished, it is difficult even for the heavens to kill him.

Having understood the specifics of the Heavenly Realm, Chu Yuan has gained more insight.

The Heavenly Battlefield is vast, with countless relics, but Chu Yuan is not interested in exploring and instead leaves as quickly as possible.

"The Heavenly Battlefield has been left."

After some time, Chu Yuan had already stepped out of the Heavenly Battlefield.

"This is within the Heavenly Realm."

Chu Yuan gazed around, looking at the heavenly world.

In reality, the Eternal Road they inhabit is also a part of the Heavenly Realm, but it is a world evolving within a heavenly body, unable to connect with the outside.

Now, having looked around, he broadcasted this so the citizens of the empire could see.

The Heavenly Realm is not complete. To Chu Yuan, it appears fragmented, akin to a cosmic vacuum environment but infinitely more complex.

He turns to see the Heavenly Battlefield shrouded in layers of grey-white currents.

The Heavenly Battlefield is so enormous that most cannot see through it, but Chu Yuan, with his heavenly will, can see its entirety.

Outside the Heavenly Battlefield are numerous shattered worlds.

The entire Heavenly Realm appears fragmented, intertwined with countless, countless layers of planes like the sands of the Ganges.

"Before the outbreak of the Heavenly War, the Heavenly Realm was complete, with the Heavenly King leading the expansion of the Heavenly Realm. After the Heavenly King’s death, the explosive force shattered the world, but thereby made the heavens even larger."

Chu Yuan’s soul seemed to transcend myriad worlds at this moment.

He felt many things. Although the Heavenly King is dead, he seems omnipresent, existing wherever the worlds he opened are.

He also sensed numerous heavenly wills, presenting a situation of heavenly contention.

Originally, the world had no heavens; it was the power of the heavens that created the heavens.

Their will is above the heavens, and although creating heavens is a challenging endeavor, for the heavens, it is a form of cultivation. The more heavens they create, the stronger their power grows.

"Such is the heavens."

Chu Yuan said.

"The Heavenly War, the Heavenly King, the death of numerous heavenly beings, perhaps wasn’t a bad thing. It was their battlefield that forged a greater Heavenly Realm, breaking the stagnant and rigid state."

Chu Yuan reflected.

If not for the Heavenly War, he might not have his system, nor would he have traversed worlds.

And if not for the death of those heavenly beings, Chu Yuan would not have been able to destroy the eternal rules and create his Eternal Kingdom.

Therefore, even though the Heavenly War cost many lives, for him, it was fortuitous.

Chu Yuan’s eyes shone with an extremely determined heavenly light.

His most pressing task now is to become a heavenly being, creating a grander world with his own power.
