Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

This time, Chu Yuan stayed in the Demon Abyss for a very long time.

He sealed five demon beasts at the Xuan God level. Together, they possessed formidable strength, enough to entangle with powerful beings like Meng Tian.

The smooth sealing process owed much to the Prison Suppression Divine Enthronement Stele, a divine artifact with special abilities. Otherwise, even divine artifacts of imperial-grade like the Dongchu Divine Knife could only slay the demons, making sealing an impossibility.

As for others, there were countless demons above the level of communing with Gods.

"A well-controlled demon corps can prove to be a trump card, instilling fear in the heart of the enemy."

Chu Yuan returned to the Imperial City.

He had received numerous reports. The short period of peace had been disrupted. Near Dawu's territory, large forces emerged and continuously converged. From the information gathered, the powerful beings dispatched from the East Chu Forbidden Area had arrived.

They had suffered several losses at the hands of Chu Yuan.

As their scheme to forcefully trespass into Dawu's territory to assassinate the leaders had failed, they had no other choice but to resort to conventional warfare strategies, aiming to capture Dawu's territory.

"Your Majesty, on my trip to Quanjiang City, I brought back two of my colleagues, and they are willing to serve Dawu."

Inside the Divine Martial Hall, Ouyang Ming stepped forward, followed by a middle-aged man and an old man.

They were at the second and third level of the Celestial God realm, respectively.

"Li Yu, Sun Kun pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

The two Celestial Gods respectfully paid their obeisance.

"Please rise, both of you. Since you have entered my Casting Department, you are Dawu's people. Ouyang Ming must have already informed you about certain matters, so I won't reiterate them. You two will serve the Casting Department under his command," Chu Yuan ordered.

Ouyang Ming had shone brightly in the Refining Holy Ground with his unique refining skills, overpowering everyone present, thus convincing many refining masters and arousing their curiosity in Dawu.

Li Yu and Sun Kun immediately joined Dawu without hesitation.

However, many people remained cautious and dared not pledge allegiance hastily. Instead, they chose to first visit Dawu, serve as Guest Elders in the Refining Holy Ground, and evaluate Dawu's future development before deciding whether to join Dawu.

Chu Yuan understood their caution.

He did not pressurize them either.

For now, the Refining Holy Ground needed to focus on spreading its reputation and creating a vacuum effect, akin to a magnet, persistently attracting refining masters from all over the world.

Of course, this required the assurance of powerful national strength.

"Your Majesty, just ten days ago, the Holy Sky Empire and the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu already broke out into a Xuan God war, with both sides deploying more than a dozen Xuan Gods for the battle. Numerous Celestial Gods have fallen. The battle was extremely intense and is still ongoing," reported Lu Qianfu, who was in charge of mobilizing Dawu's army and was highly sensitive to war affairs.

The war between the two empires didn't come as a surprise to Chu Yuan, who nodded slightly. It wasn't necessarily bad news for Dawu.

After all, a significant part of Qingmu Everlasting Empire's territory was inherited by the Holy Sky Empire after retracting into the Immortal Forbidden Area.

The Holy Sky Empire was currently in a difficult position, which was why they were trying to rally all the forces they could.

Chu Yuan was aware that when the Great Emperor left, the Qingmu Everlasting Empire chose to self-disintegrate without undergoing any warfare, hence their strength wasn't vastly depleted.

Having done so, Chu Yuan had a vague inkling of the whole picture.

If the empire didn't withdraw to the forbidden area and didn't have a powerful existence like the Qingmu Everlasting Emperor to suppress it, they would inevitably face countless calamities. So, it was better to preserve their strength and wait for the return of the Great Emperor.

Tianhong, the Celestial God, reported: "I too have received news. Outside of the Origin Spirit Realm, the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu is continuously gathering formidable forces – seemingly forming an envelopment around the East Chu Forbidden Area with the forces of the East Chu Forbidden Area, with several Xuan Gods being dispatched as well."

"The East Chu Forbidden Area has made several moves and has a certain understanding of Dawu's strength. If they were to attack, they would surely do so with absolute force. As for the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu, a majority of their forces are being restrained by the Holy Sky Empire.

I estimate that their act of pulling in reinforcements seems more like a coordinated attack with the East Chu Forbidden Area," Ning Xiuchen, a man of consummate cunning, carefully analyzed.

"When the wall falls, everyone pushes. In my view, Your Majesty, when they start sending their forces, numerous powers would swarm here like flies, each yearning to bite off a chunk from Dawu," said Ning Xiuchen, who had lived so long and could foresee anything.

The resources opened up by Dawu were terrifying to such a degree that even Xuan Gods were greedy for them. There were hardly any who didn't wish to get them.

Even he was constantly amazed by Dawu's foundation.

"This battle is inevitable. In my opinion, rather than waiting helplessly for them to continuously mobilize their armies and surround us, it would be better to launch an attack first, disrupt their rhythm of attack. For every passing day, Dawu's strength increases a bit more," stated Chu Yuan.
Your adventure continues at empire

"I volunteer to fight!" Fang Lei stepped forward.

He had become a Celestial God.

"I also volunteer to fight!"

Chen Jian, the commander of the Shadow Kill Army, volunteered. He had also reached the realm of Celestial God.

During this period, Dawu had cultivated several Celestial God-level powerhouses.

Mainly, he had slain numerous Celestial Gods from the Yuanling Sect and the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, including strong beings at the tenth level of Celestial God. The Celestial God Laws extracted from them were partially consumed by him, and the rest was used to cultivate Celestial Gods of the Dynasty.

Moreover, Dawu had the Taiyi Pill Furnace producing imperial grade Divine Elixirs without pause.

Even the formerly Tianhong Sect, with several True God limit beings near the Celestial God state, made rapid progress after suddenly receiving so many Laws.

His approach was extremely extravagant.

If he allowed more people to refine the Laws slowly, strengthening their foundation, thousands or tens of thousands of years later, they would have cultivated more Celestial Gods.

However, Chu Yuan couldn't afford to wait that long.

Once the Celestial God Law was used up, he would just slay the enemy's Celestial Gods and continue extracting more.

Emperor's overbearing nature was clearly visible.

"The battle is inevitable. Currently, it's the initial stage of combat, with both sides mobilizing their forces. The East Chu Forbidden Area is far away from Dawu; moving their troops here requires time," stated Chu Yuan.

If it were a matter of a single star, they could dispatch a Xuan God casually. However, after suffering such losses, the East Chu Forbidden Area wouldn't send their forces recklessly.

"Mobilize the main forces of the Loyal and Courageous King and keep the standby forces ready to move at any time. Ning Xiuchen, you would be in charge of controlling the battlefield on the side of the East Chu Forbidden Area. Before the start of the main battle, there might be minor skirmishes happening," continued Chu Yuan.

"The Demon God Army, Divine Martial Army, Punishment Army, and Phoenix Army should all stay ready for intermittent attacks."

"Ning Xiuchen, you should be ready to provide support at any point."

"Yes!" Ning Xiuchen nodded in acknowledgment.

The Emperor still had a demon corps in his hands, waiting to be used. The moment they are released, it will undoubtedly stir a storm.

"The Warship Corps, led by the Starry Sky Battleship, are to investigate and gather information. The Shadow Kill Army will accompany the other armies ready to strike anytime. As for the various mobilizations of the forces, the Loyal and Courageous King will take control of the overall situation to establish an early advantage," Chu Yuan commanded, controlling the overall situation.

"I am already preparing for it. But what about the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu, how do you plan to handle that, Your Majesty?" Lu Qianfu was more concerned about the other side, a single East Chu Forbidden Area was already putting a lot of pressure.

"I will handle the matters of the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu. Loyal and Courageous King, you need not worry," Chu Yuan assured. "I plan to give them a grand present this time."

Ning Xiuchen chuckled. He already knew what this grand present was.

The present, once given, would undoubtedly give the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu a tough time. Just the thought of it was highly entertaining. He was already looking forward to it.

"Ding! The current side mission has been issued, Hundred Gods Slaying, slaying a hundred Celestial Gods. Current Progress (0/100)."

[Note: Only when the people of Dawu slay the Celestial Gods, the mission progress will be updated.]
