Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

That man sat upon an imperial throne.

Youthful yet domineering, the man was ensnared by countless currents of vital energy. Always, he emanated absolute authority, as if he was the eternal protagonist, and no one else's presence could rival his radiance.

Emperor of the Divine Martial Empire!

What filled them with dread was the Purple Demon Book, bowing respectfully beside him with its crowned head lowered, its back hunched.

In other cosmic-level empires, even the Celestial Gods would not show such deference to a king, as the Purple Demon Book did.

After all, each of them was just as proud and long-lived as the earth and the heavens.

"Greetings, Emperor of the Divine Martial Empire!"

This group of individuals immediately bowed in greeting. The bellicose words they had prepared beforehand instantly vanished. In the face of this oppressive entity, they didn't know what to say.

"Speak your business." Chu Yuan broke the silence, smiling gently. "I understand your coming for a price issue. However, the price that I have offered is already the most reasonable and most generous one after comprehensive consideration."

"Your Majesty, many of our materials were acquired at the cost of life and death. Could the price be...?"

Someone mustered their courage, still seeking to negotiate.

"As I've said, the price is the most preferential one. Without me, you wouldn't be able to exchange your materials for so many Divine Elixers. If you are not willing to make the trade, there are plenty of others in the Cosmic Sea."

Chu Yuan commented indifferently.

He wasn't going to let these people raise their prices and destroy the rule he had set.

What he needed was for these people to risk their lives in search of materials for him, and all he had to do was exchange some Divine Elixers for them.

"But I can promise you, no matter how much you bring me, I will take it. The more you bring, the more extra rewards you will get. But when it comes to price, there won't be any changes."

Upon hearing Chu Yuan's words, all of these people took notice.

They understood that their leader was seeking to tightly control the pricing power. He wouldn't let them raise prices randomly. But the more they traded, the more extra rewards they would get, which meant that more benefits would be given to them.

That's right. There were plenty of resources out in the Cosmic Sea.

But there weren't many who could trade Divine Elixers in such large quantities like the Divine Martial Empire.

Though they hadn't been allowed to raise their prices, the response of the Emperor of the Divine Martial Empire had satisfied them. They realized that if they were to get more greedy, this Emperor wouldn't meet their demands.

The Cosmic Sea has never been short of all kinds of materials.

"Someone will explain specific rules to you later."

Chu Yuan waved his hand, dismissing these people.

"Why are you not leaving?"

Chu Yuan turned to one individual.

This person's cultivation level had reached the fourth stage. While not weak in the Cosmic Sea, he was not especially strong either.

"Your Majesty, I have information on the location of the Soul Calming Stone! My name is Ye Yuan!"

"Soul Calming Stone!"

Chu Yuan did not change his expression.

This Soul Calming Stone was indeed one of the rarest materials needed to construct the Primordial Book.

"Speak." Chu Yuan ordered.

"I don't have the Soul Calming Stone, but I know where it is. It's in the Undying Mountain. Moreover, I even know the precise location out of all the ancient ruins. I want to trade this information with you, Your Majesty, for Divine Elixirs that could enable me to break through to the fifth stage!"

Ye Yuan meant to trade this information with Chu Yuan for Divine Elixirs.

"You think you can trade an unverified piece of information for Divine Elixirs from me? You're too naive."

Chu Yuan said, "However, I can promise you this: As long as you bring back the Soul Calming Stone, you can take as many Divine Elixirs from me as you want. As far as possible, the empire would also comply with one of your requests."

"Alright then, if that's the case, I will now venture into the Undying Mountain to find the Soul Calming Stone for Your Majesty. Plus, I know of other hard-to-find materials that are in the Undying Mountain!"

Without further ado, Ye Yuan left the ruins of the Heavenly Palace.

"Undying Mountain." Chu Yuan muttered.

"Your Majesty, the Undying Mountain is also in the Epoch Battlefield, an extremely dangerous forbidden area. It buries the ruins of the Celestial Gods, the undying remnants. There are indeed many treasures there."

The Purple Demon Book commented from the side.

"Gather information on the Undying Mountain."

Chu Yuan ordered.

"Your servant will do it immediately." The Purple Demon Book responded respectfully. "Your Majesty has offered them quite a few benefits this time. People die for wealth, birds die for food. In order to obtain the empire's Divine Elixirs, these people will risk their lives to find them."

"Meanwhile, you will also need to train the empire's soldiers. The Cosmic Sea is the best place to hone their skills. Prepare for the future battles, and also send someone to pay attention to what's happening at the Blood Moon Sea."

Chu Yuan commanded.

"Yes."

The Purple Demon Book backed down.

Now that a Celestial God was working for the empire, Chu Yuan could relax a lot more.

At this moment, Chu Yuan was practicing inside the ruins of the Heavenly Palace. Even without a mini cosmos for him to swallow, he could still cultivate Divine Elixirs.

Although the pace was slower, it could still bolster and enhance his cultivation.

The empire was also rapidly developing.

The resources in the Cosmic Sea were so abundant. As long as you had enough strength, you could get everything you needed. Almost every day, the empire was exhibiting rapid development at a breath-taking rate.

Many formidable warriors were being born.

Some True Gods, who had been stuck at that level in the empire and could not advance to become Celestial Gods, came to the Cosmic Sea, followed the mighty, faced the hardships, and eventually made breakthroughs.

Jade could not be carved without hewing, a person could not become powerful without honing. His Golden Armor Giant Beast was having a great time along with Chu Yuan, consuming plenty of metal.

However, in contrast to the non-fussy Golden Armor Giant Beast, the Space-Time Kun proved to be much more troublesome.

It needed to eat treasures containing the power of void to grow rapidly. But Chu Yuan also knew that the Space-Time Kun could traverse the cosmos, and if it cultivated to the fifth stage, its speed could even be on a par with that of a Celestial God.

That was their species' talent.

"Space-Time Kun has reached the fourth stage, it should be close to the fifth. There are abundant resources in the Cosmic Sea, where space and time are densely overlapped, and there are many of void attribute properties. They can be gathered in the Cosmic Sea to feed it."

Chu Yuan said.

"Shen Youzhe is the next one in the empire who needs to break through to the Celestial God level. The phantom operation, the Mystery of the Dark Scythe, and the Kill Soul, make Shen Youzhe an incredibly powerful assassin."

Chu Yuan knew well that Shen Youzhe could hide in the phantoms, kill silently, and was a deadly assassin.

He was also quietly calculating. His own cultivation was still in the fifth stage, but in fact, it still had huge potential for growth.

Several months passed by.

Suddenly, cries for help were heard from the ruins of the Heavenly Palace.

"Emperor, save us! Save us!"

Many people, covered in blood and terrified, fled towards the ruins of the Heavenly Palace.

"Intruders shall be executed!"

Immediately, warriors of the Divine Martial Empire prevented them from advancing.

"We want to see the Emperor of the Divine Martial Empire. We were ambushed while we were collecting materials for the Emperor. Emperor, you must protect us!"

This group of people cried out in despair.

"Let them meet me." Chu Yuan ordered.

"Emperor!"

As soon as this group of people saw Chu Yuan, they immediately kneeled before him, crying and screaming. "You must uphold justice for us and avenge us. All the materials we collected over the past few months have been taken away. Even many of our people were killed. We have suffered a lot and couldn't have made it to see you, Your Majesty, if it wasn't just for a hair's breadth!"

"We were pitiful, pitiful this time!"

"Speak up, I will uphold justice for you."

Chu Yuan stated.

"It's the Wanmo Empire, the Thunder Empire, the Qiankun Empire! These three cosmic god-level empires suddenly attacked all the powerful individuals who were collecting materials for our empire. They not only robbed us of our belongings but also killed many of us, sparing no one at all!"
