Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

Chapter 2074: Chapter 2074: The Right Choice

Chu Yuan gave Bao two choices: life or death.

Now he has become the heavens, the system is completely under his control, and no one is qualified to give him choices; only he has the qualification to give others choices.

Currently, Bao is still hesitating and indecisive, as he has not made a final decision yet, that’s why he’s speaking calmly with him.

But he must be pressured to see the situation clearly!

Bao said, "Though you are strong, I, Bao, also possess absolute strength. Otherwise, during the ancient battle of the heavens, I wouldn’t have remained neutral. If you forcibly attack me, I will open the barrier of the Treasure Realm to gather more celestial beings. Perhaps my realm will suffer a great calamity, but it will not be slaughtered like Xue was by you."

He indeed has strength.

This is the source of his confidence.

"Have you truly seen through the future trends?"

Chu Yuan said, "Even if you can escape from my grasp now, if I don’t incorporate you into my empire, can you truly remain safe? This battle of the heavens is different from before. With the outbreak of comprehensive warfare, it will usher in a new era. The Treasure Realm is coveted by countless celestials, and whoever gains you, Bao, the most powerful artifact of the heavens, will see his power elevate to an incredibly strong level."

Which of those top celestials would not covet Bao? Who wouldn’t want to make a move on him? Everyone has set their sights on the myriad treasures of the Treasure Realm.

But the constraints of various parties prevent anyone from making a move on Bao.

It can be said that not only Chu Yuan has his eyes on him, but even more ancient celestials have their eyes on him.

Bao also understood that once the war begins, he might become the target of other celestials.

This is where his hesitation lies.

"Do I really have no other choice but to pledge allegiance to your Divine Martial Empire?"

Bao looked at Chu Yuan.

"There’s no choice. You yourself clearly understand the pros and cons without needing me to explain."

Chu Yuan’s sovereign aura enveloped the Treasure Realm.

"Bao, you gained your current strength because of the King of the Heavens. The current situation no longer allows you to hesitate. Follow us, experience a vast war, and let this world transition into the next era. In the future, you too can refine treasures undisturbed, but if you do not comply, the world’s structure will destroy you. Even if we lose, the world will remain the same. Do you think you have any choice?"

Yanran said.

"I..."

Bao suddenly transformed into a Soul Divine Weapon, his imposing soul force reached the domain of souls.

Chu Yuan merely watched him.

His soul, his will, also entered this soul domain.

In the soul domain, Bao was speechless. He transformed his strongest strength into soul power, clashing fiercely, and endless power, as a divine weapon, slashed at Chu Yuan’s soul.

Seeing Bao’s attack slashing over, Chu Yuan remained unmoved and grand, the heaven of heavens, the sovereign of the heavens, threw a punch.

His power swept in all directions, his will suppressed, unshakable, instantly shattering Bao’s soul power, and all the soul fields vanished, returning to reality.

Bao was deeply shocked by his probing strike, as this person’s strength was too powerful, and his will could not sway it at all.

He might not yet possess strength comparable to the King of the Heavens, but his overbearing will and decisive ruthlessness were unmatched by the King of the Heavens.

He could also see that the more strong individuals his empire absorbed, the stronger he would become.

His act of using soul will was an attempt to test through an invisible confrontation.

Otherwise, if it escalated into real combat, it would be irreparable and beyond salvage.

"Do I have a choice?" Bao said bitterly.

"Among the heavens’ strongest artifacts, Bao, if you become a celestial of my empire, you will be my right-hand man. You didn’t participate in the first battle of the heavens; it’s time for you to join this one."

Chu Yuan, seeing his bitterness, offered him a way out.

"Yes, I can avoid it once, but I can’t avoid it every time. Divine Martial Emperor, Celestial of Reincarnation, you are right. Instead of continuing to observe the current structure, it’s better to change the world together, witness a new world, a new era, fulfill the ideals of the King of the Heavens, and accomplish what he didn’t!"

Bao had figured it out.

The step down had been given; if he didn’t take it, what awaited him would be the wrath of the Divine Martial Emperor.

This person’s strength was too strong, and he could never be his match.

If he did not agree, the Treasure Realm would face warfare, not knowing how many artifacts would face destruction.

Moreover.

He also knew.

He couldn’t refuse anymore.

What he said was partly to save face for himself, and also out of a desire to witness the advent of the new era.

As a celestial being, is there anything he cannot see through?

His strength is strong, but when faced with a stronger individual, he would also suffer slaughter, and this is a place where strength speaks.

"Bao, you made the right choice, and I am gratified."

With Bao’s decision, the choice that represented death also shattered immediately.

Bao’s joining brought a tremendous increase to the empire’s power.

"Divine Martial Emperor, I can fight for you, but what happens to the Treasure Realm afterward, what will its status be?"

Bao asked.

Having decided to join the Divine Martial, Bao had to consider the Treasure Realm.

"You remain the Sovereign of the Treasure Realm, follow my direct orders. The Treasure Realm will not suffer loss and will be included in the empire’s dominion."

Chu Yuan said.

Bao nodded.

He knew the Divine Martial Emperor was like a vast sky containing many smaller skies.

"Also, within the Treasure Realm are countless artifacts that have already developed their own lives and intelligence. They are like living beings, and their existence cannot be simply defined as artifacts. What should be done about them?"

Bao was concerned.

Artifacts with life are no longer simple artifacts.

He worried that those artifacts would be assigned by the Divine Martial Emperor to others for use, subjected to a form of enslavement.

"Bao, I understand your concern, but having life is akin to being citizens of my empire. They will remain themselves, and no one can forcibly control them. I won’t allow them to be chosen and used by others; they are independent entities. The only requirement is for them to exert their power and contribute to the empire’s subsequent wars."

Chu Yuan alleviated his concerns.

"With the Divine Martial Emperor’s words, I am reassured."

Bao’s concern dissipated.

This great Emperor, once he made a promise, would not change it.

"Myself, Bao, and the Heavenly Furnace are skilled in Artifact Refining. The empire’s powerful figures need crafted artifact weapons, and we can help with that; it’s also our responsibility to contribute."

Bao said.

"Though the Heavenly Furnace is not as celestial as Bao, given sufficient energy, I can also freely forge emperor weapons."

The Heavenly Furnace said.

For other celestials, crafting artifacts is merely a necessity, not worth sacrificing much time from their cultivation.

But for the Heavenly Furnace, he enjoys doing such things; it’s a form of cultivation.

"Artifacts that develop intelligence can enter the Treasure Realm to accept its power for cultivation, and from this moment, the Treasure Realm is part of the empire."

Chu Yuan said, "I will lead you to usher in a new era and witness a new world!"
