Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

"The infertile Phoenix Egg!"

A Phoenix Egg, its entire surface adorned with fire patterns, appeared in Chu Yuan's hands. It housed an extraordinary embryo, but this embryo no longer had any trace of life's essence, its soul obliterated.

You must know that this egg isn't from the likes of the Fire Phoenix or the Vermilion Bird, descendants of the Feng and Huang, it's an authentic Phoenix Egg.

The Phoenix, an existence of unfathomable strength, bestrides the cosmos with arrogance.

If this egg could be hatched, it would be even more terrifying than a Void Dao Fish. Upon birth, it would be a Celestial God, capable of easily stepping into the realm of the Mysterious God, and perhaps, upon maturity, ascend to the status of a Supreme God.

Regrettably... it's no longer able to hatch, its value has thus plummeted far beyond ninety percent.

But thinking about it, it's not unexpected. The Great Wu Dynasty, after all, is merely a seven-star Imperial Dynasty, and it doesn't have the power to claim a real Phoenix Egg.

"Since it cannot hatch, it ought to be bestowed. Does my Imperial Dynasty not have a Phoenix within it? This is also a great opportunity for you."

Chu Yuan cast the Phoenix Egg, which landed in front of Zhu Fengfeng, he then spoke, "Zhu Fengfeng, here lies an infertile Phoenix Egg. Refine it well, it could purify your Phoenix Bloodline. Your breakthrough into the Celestial God realm is imminent. You could even start establishing your foundation as a Mysterious God. Don't disappoint me."

"The Phoenix Egg!"

Zhu Fengfeng, upon seeing the Phoenix Egg, her blood boiled. She felt as if her true Phoenix form was about to manifest. She immediately knelt, "Your servant thanks Your Majesty for the egg. I will not disappoint the trust placed in me."

The invulnerable Phoenix blood and now, the bestowment of a Phoenix Egg, filled Zhu Fengfeng with delight. She felt fortunate to be part of the Great Wu Dynasty.

In the vast eternal world, it is not known whether pure-blooded Phoenixes exist, and one could only wonder how the Emperor obtained it.

"Ding! Host activates random draw, obtaining Celestial Beast Summoning Cardx1." Experience tales at empire

At this moment, Chu Yuan used his last draw opportunity.

"Ding! Host uses Celestial Beast Summoning Cardx1, obtaining Celestial Beastx1."

A six-pointed star appeared, creating a summoning formation in front of Chu Yuan. A burst of golden light flashed, revealing a rather peculiar object.

This object was massive, as large as a small mountain. It was similar to Slime Silver in that it could transform into any shape. However, its entire body shimmered golden.

"Another slime?"

Chu Yuan's expression was priceless.

"This creature is a special being. It's related to the special summons you made earlier and can evolve through the consumption of divine items." the system reminded.

"I knew it was something similar." Chu Yuan, looking at the golden slime, laughed, "Little Gold, from now on, you're called Little Gold."

...

Meanwhile, within the Rainbow Sect.

The entire Rainbow Sect was in lock-down, consumed by fear, dreading the sudden onslaught of the Great Wu Dynasty's armies.

If the destruction of the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty instilled terror in them causing them to consider gathering all their Celestial Gods to safeguard their clan and fight a life-or-death battle against Great Wu, then the news of the Spirit Sect was the final straw, completely shattering their courage.

The Spirit Sect, stronger than the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, was just as effortlessly annihilated.

Who wouldn't be afraid?

Within a grand hall, the eight Celestial Gods of the Rainbow Sect gathered. Looking at them, it became clear they'd been sitting here for a very long time.

"Let's talk about it. The Great Wu is organizing an Imperial Banquet and has invited the Rainbow Sect to participate. The underlying motive is quite clear," the Sect Master of Rainbow Sect, an elderly gentleman at the fifth celestial stage, voiced. Despite his lofty rank, his eyes were now dull, devoid of spirit. His once jet-black hair was now interspersed with strands of white.

Fear ruled his days and nights, as he fretted over the Great Wu's sudden attack.

Right now, their sentiments mirrored someone awaiting their execution date, desperately struggling.

"We don't have any choice left. Our Rainbow Sect is no match for the Great Wu. Allegedly, the Spirit Sect had dispatched Celestial Gods to create havoc in Great Wu, but they were all suppressed. Currently, our only option is to move our sect, leave this place and find ourselves another blessed land."

This bitter sentiment was shared by all the Celestial Gods of Rainbow Sect.

They so desperately wanted to fight against the Great Wu.

However, the gap in strength was too wide, challenging them simply wasn't feasible.

Even mischief was out of the question. Somehow, the Great Wu had managed to mobilize the power of its nation to an unprecedented degree.

"Moreover, the entire eternal realm is in turmoil, where can we go? Do you believe that the moment we step out, soldiers from the Great Wu will immediately come for us? We're akin to a turtle trapped in a jar. "

A feeling of helplessness was expressed by one of the Celestial Gods.

Fighting them wasn't possible.

Neither was challenging them.

Even fleeing wasn't an option, and it seemed like they didn't have any other choices left.

"Surrender. This is the only way out. Surrender to the Great Wu."

The Sect Master of the Rainbow Sect, left with no choice, sighed in sorrow, "The Great Wu sent out invitations without mobilizing its armies, showing hope for the Rainbow Sect to surrender, giving it a chance to survive. They're trying to harness the power of our sect rather than kill us. Otherwise, their armies would have arrived long ago.

Looking at the present situation, the Great Wu has already cornered us. Where else can we go?"

Surrendering offers a chance at survival, stubborn resistance only assures a path towards destruction.

Very few Celestial Gods are willing to die knowing there's a chance to survive.

The Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty and the Spirit Sect are prime examples of this.

"I heard that the Great Wu is quite generous towards those who surrender willingly. If we serve loyally, we'll even be assigned important tasks. After the six nations and four sects of the Sea Demon Realm surrendered to the Great Wu, and took part in annihilating the Demon Abyss, they were handsomely rewarded."

Finally, one of the Celestial Gods breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite the ruthlessness of the Great Wu Dynasty, those who surrendered willingly were treated fairly well.

Seeing the Sect Master finally relent, they felt much more at ease. Their greatest fear was that the Sect Master would insist on a do-or-die battle.

"Before the Imperial Banquet, we must go to the Great Wu. Any True Gods, no, Void Gods and above from our sect must go to the Great Wu, meet the Martial Emperor, and express our willingness to surrender. When the people from the Great Wu come here, hand over everything related to the Rainbow Realm."

The Sect Master delivered his orders. With that said, he appeared to have lost all his vitality, "It's done, from now on I won't be your Sect Master. I think that if we peacefully hand over control of the Rainbow Realm, the Martial Emperor shouldn't give us any trouble."

...

Great Wu Dynasty.

Within the Retribution Army's camp.

Since the battle against Demon Abyss ended, the Retribution Army has been recruiting, and due to expanded territory and increase in population, there had been an abundance of resources for recruiting soldiers.

The Divine Thunder Pool had been divided into two parts.

One part to select soldiers.

One part to train the army.

"Your Majesty, the Retribution Army now has expanded to thirty million. Each one is a fierce and stalwart soldier of Great Wu!"

Fang Lei approached. He had been imbued with a multitude of celestial laws by Chu Yuan and was drawing closer and closer to the Heavenly God realm. Currently, he was involved in training the Great Wu's Retribution Army.

With an abundance of celestial laws and imperial-grade Divine Elixirs, Chu Yuan wasn't worried, Fang Lei's breakthrough into the Heavenly God realm was simply a matter of time.

The significant surge in the nation's destiny would further increase the chances of more powerful individuals breaking through.

Given enough resources, Chu Yuan planned on amassing a plethora of Heavenly Gods.

"Very well, the Retribution Army must continue expanding, our numbers far from sufficient. In the future, we need them to fight even tougher battles. Our Imperial Dynasty will face formidable enemies, and our noble soldiers will need to fight bravely."

Chu Yuan watched the Retribution Army's training. Each soldier holding a Thunder Knife, chopping through the thunder water, their bravery shining through.

"Your Majesty, emissaries from the Rainbow Sect have arrived bearing a letter of surrender, expressing their willingness to submit!"
