Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

Chapter 2035: Chapter 2035: The Shattering of an Ideal [4 Updates]

“Yanran, please continue.”

Chu Yuan nodded, listening attentively to Yanran’s account of the truth behind the Battle of the Heavens.

“The true reality is not as complicated as you imagine; it is an ideological conflict. Once you understand the ideology of the King of the Heavens, with your wisdom, you can fully comprehend the origins of this war.”

Yanran spoke with great patience, explaining everything in detail to Chu Yuan.

“The King of the Heavens was the first being in the Heaven Realm. He had a heart that cherished peace and disliked any form of conflict or battle. Instead of stifling others’ ambitions to become celestial, he assisted them in their ascension. Each new celestial made the Heaven Realm even greater. Without the King of the Heavens, there would be no such realm today; his greatness shaped the current order.”

The divine maiden Yanran elucidated.

“The King of the Heavens helped others to achieve celestialhood.”

Chu Yuan listened, deducing that the King of the Heavens must have been a selfless character.

“From beginning to end, the King of the Heavens had only one goal: to create realms. Chu Yuan, you must know that the Heaven Realm is limited, but the realms he created are limitless. The celestial mana can turn nonexistence into existence.”

She stated.

“My will once stood beyond the boundaries of the Heaven Realm, sensing a force of nonexistence, yet the celestial can create existence,” Chu Yuan remarked.

“Indeed, the King of the Heavens harbored no desire for domination. If he did, none of these celestials would have grown. His only desire was to discover if there was a limit to the creation of realms, where that limit might lie, and what it represented.”

Yanran continued.

“The King of the Heavens possessed a limitless heart, pursuing exploration throughout his life,” Chu Yuan said.

Such a heart was truly great, befitting the title of the first celestial in the Heaven Realm.

“From nonexistence to existence, there arose the King of the Heavens. In the beginning, with his aid, there were few celestials, and they, together with the King of the Heavens, created realms. With the passage of time, the Heaven Realm developed rapidly, reaching a peak period with many celestials emerging.”

Yanran explained.

“Even human hearts are different, let alone greater celestials. When celestials were few, the King of the Heavens could suppress them with his power, but as their numbers grew, so did the interactions, giving rise to greater ambition, dissenting from the King of the Heavens’ way.”

Chu Yuan was not surprised at all by this.

When you possess great power, naturally you do not wish to follow another’s orders but to be your own master, with your own ideas and ideology.

Especially among celestials.

Each celestial represents a realm, harboring countless beings within, forming various factions.

Humans have disputes, so naturally, celestials, with differing doctrines and attributes of heavenly ideologies, would also have conflict.

“Chu Yuan, just as you said, with more celestials, ambition grows. The King of the Heavens cherished peace and beauty. Though he bore no ambition for domination, others did.”

Yanran stated, “The King of the Heavens hoped for all beings in the Heaven Realm to unite, eschewing conflict, and together create realms, pooling their strength to explore infinity with him, to see if the realms he created could reach a limit. But how could this be possible? The ambitions of the aspiring grew over time, with more celestials growing dissatisfied with the King of the Heavens. They refused to adhere to his ideology, disliked confinement, believing their power was sufficient to create realms without following the King of the Heavens. Thus, the Battle of the Heavens erupted, resulting in the fall of many celestials, and ultimately the King of the Heavens as well.”

The King of the Heavens brought peace and the glory of many celestials.

In the end, due to the collapse of his ideology, the King of the Heavens perished with regret and pain after slaying many celestials.

This was a causal relationship.

No right, no wrong.

Upon hearing Yanran’s explanation, Chu Yuan, with his wisdom, quickly comprehended the sequence of events and causal links.

Although the King of the Heavens cherished peace and was even selfless, which celestial wasn’t filled with ambition, unwilling to be commanded by the King of the Heavens?

They knew that if things continued like this, the King of the Heavens would always remain the strongest.

Granted, he did not vie for supremacy, focusing solely on creating realms.

Yet even so, many celestials could not tolerate it.

Only by overthrowing the King of the Heavens, removing his suppression, could they independently forge their paths, risking even war if necessary.

“Everyone wants to be the strongest celestial, to subdue all heavens. Because the King of the Heavens was the strongest celestial, they united against him, even if he did not seek to conquer. Though he refrained from domination, he could not prevent others from doing so, his strength being an unacceptable barrier for them, necessitating the overthrow of this legend.”

Chu Yuan, in a single sentence, pinpointed the core conflict of the Battle of the Heavens.

Like emperors competing for dominance, all desire supremacy, every province at their feet.

The situation is the same for celestials; none wish for a King of the Heavens who can suppress them.

This is a fundamental contradiction.

If it were Chu Yuan, with his ambitious spirit, he too would dislike having someone overbearing, which is precisely why it matters not who is right or wrong.

Yanran stood by the side of the King of the Heavens, as she also disdained senseless conflict, longing to witness the limit of the heavens.

“Everyone wants to be the strongest celestial.”

With an appreciative gaze, Yanran looked at Chu Yuan, recognizing his insight to distill the essence of the conflict in a simple sentence.

“Now, celestials stand side by side, waging war in heaven, engulfing realms. With the death of the King of the Heavens, endless wars ensue, beyond right or wrong.”

Chu Yuan said.

“The ideology of the King of the Heavens was not wrong. I too wish to know if there is a limit to the creation of realms within the Heaven Realm. The choices of other celestials were also not blameworthy, but his gravest mistake was failing to control the situation with his power. He was too kind-hearted, too fond of peace. Only with the strongest power can one suppress everything and bring about true peace.”

Chu Yuan stated.

Only strength can suppress all; with the power to suppress all, you can undertake what you wish.

Otherwise, imposing your ideology on others will only spark greater conflicts.

“What you say is not wrong either,” Yanran acknowledged.

“I believe, in the realm of the King of the Heavens, the Battle of the Heavens was bound to occur. Even if he did not demand others follow him in creating realms, his overwhelming strength would still incite the united ambition of many celestials to overthrow him.”

Chu Yuan said.

“Indeed.”

Yanran concurred, “The Battle of the Heavens was inevitable. Though the King of the Heavens has fallen, his mission was fulfilled. Without him, there would be no current Heaven Realm.”

Chu Yuan agreed.

Indeed, it was the King of the Heavens who forged the Heaven Realm.

And without the Battle of the Heavens, he wouldn’t have crossed over, would not have the system, nor possess the current power and status.

It can be said that it is because of the Battle of the Heavens that today’s Chu Yuan exists.

“Yanran, I have acquired several clay tablets, which should be forged by the King of the Heavens.”

With a wave of his hand, Chu Yuan caused numerous clay tablets to materialize.

“These are indeed creations of the King of the Heavens, his celestial laws, insights into creating realms.”

Yanran responded.
