Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

The armored giant beast had resigned itself to Chu Yuan's carrot-and-stick approach.

Despite its formidable strength, it had simple ways of thinking. Chu Yuan had defeated it and also provided it with many luxuries it couldn't usually enjoy.

Obedience would yield tasty treats.

Disobedience would mean punishment.

Only a fool would choose punishment.

Chu Yuan rode his armored giant beast in the calculated direction.

Compared to the seamless void-traversing of the Void-Dwelling Giant Kun.

The giant beast was much more barbaric and violent in its approach. It spread the edges of its body like fish fins, brute-forcing its way through the void. Notwithstanding, its speed was commendable.

With such speed, Chu Yuan soon arrived in a desolate area, an atmosphere of death permeating an eerily silent desert area.

A sweep of his eyes and he saw eight dark golden Celestial God's Pillars.

In the center of these dark golden Celestial God's Pillars stood a solitary tomb.

A solitary tomb.

Chu Yuan knew that in the Cosmic Sea, there was a forbidden zone called the Divine Tomb where numerous top-notch experts were buried, including numerous Celestial Gods, and even figures that had once dominated an era- immortal and transcendent.

But this was not the place.

"Has Bai Yuan returned? I have waited a long time."

Suddenly, a lonely voice echoed from the solitary tomb, assuming that the person who arrived was Bai Yuan, whom Chu Yuan had killed.

He said nothing, only coldly observing the area.

"Bai Yuan, why won't you enter? Are you afraid I'll harm you? I can't leave the tomb in my current state. You have benefitted greatly from me. Without my help, you wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Bone River. You are here this time to obtain more benefits."

Seeing that Chu Yuan didn't respond, the voice self-consciously spoke, genuinely mistaking him for Bai Yuan.

Chu Yuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

He looked intently.

His gaze pierced through the void, immediately revealing an archaic temple within the solitary tomb. A somewhat illusory figure sat there, not a physical body, but a soul.

After seeing this, Chu Yuan understood.

"Bai Yuan, are you spying on me?"

The figure felt an intimidating gaze and, without a care, seemed to intentionally say: "Go ahead and spy. In my current state, I am incapable of causing any significant uproar. However, Bai Yuan, remember this: without offering good treasures, you can't continue to reap benefits from me. Worst case scenario, we'll just part ways."

Chu Yuan slowly walked inside the eight dark golden Celestial God's Pillars and stood above the solitary tomb.

"Bai Yuan, you still couldn't resist the temptation and want to continue the transaction. Show me what you have brought. The more I need it, the more you will benefit."

A voice emanating a subtle smile sounded out. Suddenly, its tone shifted, "No, you're not Bai Yuan, who are you?"

"You don't need to worry about who I am," responded Chu Yuan. "Who are you?"

"Me?"

The voice responded, "I have been here so long that I've almost forgotten who I am. I was once the Celestial God of the East Pole Universe. But now, where is the dignity of a Celestial God in me? I am only a lingering, wretched soul, like a candle flickering in the wind, slowly being eroded."

"A remnant soul?"

Chu Yuan's face dictated his indifference. Coldly, he said, "A Celestial God reduced to nothing but a remnant soul is indeed tragic. These eight dark golden Celestial God's Pillars have sealed you here and you couldn't leave. Through your deal with Bai Yuan, you hoped he would break the seal to release you."

"Ah, the East Pole which once ruled the universe is now trapped here, for countless epochs. Had Bai Yuan not traded some soul-related materials with me, I would have dissipated long ago."

The Celestial God of the East Pole let out a deep sigh, "It's a pity that he doesn't trust me and thinks I'll harm him. Otherwise, the benefits he could have obtained wouldn't just be these. He couldn't have stepped into the fifth stage without my guidance. My soul should have dispersed by now, but my obsession has kept me holding on."

Chu Yuan didn't answer, wanting to see what he would say next and watch his performance.

The atmosphere suddenly grew heavy.

After a long, tense silence, the Celestial God of the East Pole continued, "Do you know what my obsession is?"

"Speak," replied Chu Yuan indifferently.

"All my life, I, the East Pole, dominated and broke through to becoming a Celestial God. However, I didn't anticipate encountering a formidable enemy who defeated me, forcing me to seal myself in this tomb. Fearing that I might escape or attack out of despair, he set up this grand seal to slowly erode me."

The Celestial God of the East Pole continued, "He did it. I am now reduced to nothing but a remnant soul. Even if I had more soul origins, they would only allow me to hang by a thread and not heal me since my miniature universe has already been shattered."

The Celestial God of the East Pole began to speak without holding back, talking to himself.

"In my lifetime, I obtained countless treasures and inheritance of secret techniques, all buried within this tomb. I wished to pass it all on to a disciple who would avenge me in the final stage of my life."

The Celestial God of the East Pole's voice was full of hatred as he spoke of the other Celestial God. "I don't have much time left. I can't wait for the next one to arrive. Are you willing to be my disciple, inherit all my teachings and treasures?"

"I know you have reservations."

Seeing that Chu Yuan didn't respond, the Celestial God of the East Pole continued to speak, "Bai Yuan was the same. He was afraid that I would harm him. It's a pity that such a person, lacking even the courage to take a risk, will never break through to become a Celestial God. They'd only get little things from me. However, you're different. I can sense a powerful ambition in you."

His voice gradually decreased in volume, signifying that he was truly weakened.

"I don't have much time left. I might fully dissipate within decades. You don't have much time to consider."

The East Pole Universe God spoke.

His words, Chu Yuan listened and took half of them seriously.

"Indeed, your time is running out."

Chu Yuan's words held a deeper meaning.

"As long as you can remove the eight Celestial God's Pillars of seal, you can enter the tomb and obtain what I left. If you want to accomplish becoming a Celestial God, you must dare to fight. If you lack the courage, then you should abandon the idea of breaking the seal."

The East Pole Universe God's voice contained an unnoticeable quality imposing influences on the conversation.

"Removing the eight Celestial God's Pillars of seal is not difficult," Chu Yuan said indifferently.

"Correct, having been here for an extended period, the eight Celestial God's Pillars of seal have developed flaws, long becoming imperfect."

The East Pole Universe let Chu Yuan see his vulnerability, revealing a ray of light.

[Option one: Remove the eight Celestial God's Pillars of seal, gain 5000 Destiny Points, and 512 Divine Power Fruits.]

[Option two: Do not remove the eight Celestial God's Pillars of seal, and leave, gaining 5000 Destiny Points and one Random Reward opportunity.]

"These eight Celestial God's Pillars of seal are treasures in and of themselves."

Chu Yuan peaked over the eight Celestial God's Pillars of seal.

With a single swipe of his giant hand, his hand lay on top of the Celestial God's Pillar. With a booming sound, under the activation of his power, the pillar was pulled out inch by inch.

One after another, all eight Celestial God's Pillars of seal were pulled out by Chu Yuan.

'Ding! The host has chosen option one. You have received 5000 Destiny Points and 512 Divine Power Fruits.'

The moment those eight pillars were removed, the sealing power enveloping the perimeter of the tomb instantly disappeared, and the tomb began trembling!
