Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

```

"Report all recent major events to me."

Chu Yuan sat firmly on the imperial throne, his aura of imperial authority intensely palpable.

"The first matter concerns the Immortal Time and Space. According to the information obtained by your servant, exploration has reached fifty percent. There have been numerous undying battles there, and many Divine Artifacts have been unearthed. Currently, the Feathered Divine Dynasty and various powers seem to be in a deadlock."

Exploring such vast secret realms like Immortal Time and Space cannot be accomplished overnight and will continue for a prolonged period.

As one nears the end, the danger increases, and even the master of Immortal Time and Space, the Lord of Immortality, might appear in some bizarre fashion.

Chu Yuan nodded, signaling the Enlightenment Book to continue.

"Furthermore, conflicts have spread into the stars, with skirmishes initiated in the Myriad Mystical Forbidden Lands, the Ancient Monster Forbidden Zones, the Death Sea, and many other undying forces around the borders of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. While these skirmishes are not large in scale, I believe they are a sign of these powers' restlessness."

The Enlightenment Book spoke.

"A single spark can start a great fire. These small-scale probes are but the precursor to a large-scale war. The Feathered Divine Dynasty's rise to power is already established, their might unmatched, and they will not forsake their ambition to dominate the universe. Thus, a massive war is inevitable."

Landing Qianfu spoke, "Your Majesty, although our Divine Martial Empire is distant from the Feathered Divine Dynasty, such a war will engulf the universe; who can escape its reach?"

They all understood that once the war began, it would be a process of annexation, with the undying powers falling first and the weaker ones facing absorption.

"My soldiers are sharpening their swords and feeding their horses, eagerly awaiting the battle!"

Fang Lei declared.

His fighting spirit was high, intensifying the training of his forces.

"The small-scale conflicts will persist for a while. When the real war will begin, I believe it mainly depends on the exploration of Immortal Time and Space. When that realm's secrets are fully unveiled, the war will not be far off. What the empire needs to do now is to muster its forces, expand all military branches, intensify training, and expend all resources without regard for cost."

Chu Yuan said, "We do not control the timing of the war's commencement, but what the empire must do is to prepare comprehensively."

"You are absolutely correct,"

the Enlightenment Book said. "While the war will be brutal, it is also an opportunity for heroes to vie for supremacy. The Feathered Divine Dynasty may dream of invincibility in the universe, but it will not be so easy."

"The Feathered Divine Dynasty seeks invincibility in the stars, to be the Supreme. Other powers also see this as an opportunity. If the dynasty falls, the Divine Nation crumbles, then it becomes a feast where treasures are shared, gaining countless benefits."

Analyzing the situation, Chu Yuan indifferently stated, "If one does not succeed, they at least achieve honor; it all depends on who is more cunning and resourceful."

"There is also a third matter, concerning the Divine Tribulation Star."

"For over a decade now, it's astonishing that after the thirty-three layers of divine tribulations conclude, they appear again without respite. Even several Divine Tribulation Flowers have bloomed."

"Divine Tribulation Star."

Chu Yuan had visited the Divine Tribulation Star once in the twenty-first year of Divine Martial, where he met the Divine Maiden.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the thirty-fifth year of Divine Martial; time does indeed flow like water, swiftly passing by, invoking a sense of awe.

"The fourth matter is in Wish City," the Enlightenment Book continued its report.

"Wish City?"

Chu Yuan's eyes flickered, "I have heard that within Wish City there is a Well of Wishes, quite extraordinary, capable of granting wishes."

"It is this Wish City."

The Enlightenment Book nodded, "This Well of Wishes has existed for countless aeons, and its origins are unknown. I speculate it's an extremely special Divine Artifact. If one makes a wish before the Well of Wishes, it is possible that their deepest desires will be fulfilled."

"I've heard of common folk wishing before the Well of Wishes and immediately ascending in broad daylight, becoming gods of the universe. These occurrences are real."

"Without such wonders, the Well of Wishes wouldn't be so renowned,"

With a gesture from Chu Yuan, the Enlightenment Book shared the sorted information with everyone.

Zhu Fengfeng then said, "It seems it's not as simple as it appears? Instant wish fulfillment seems to be the exception rather than the rule, acting more like a lure, attracting people, while most wishes require an equivalent exchange."

"Indeed, such is the case."

```

The Enlightenment Book spoke, "It's a kind of equivalent exchange. For instance, you offer a Divine Artifact that you have no use for to the Well of Wishes and make a wish. If the wish is granted successfully, you'll be given something that you can use. Even if it fails, you won't have to pay a price."

"Wishes, they are not certain and not all can be fulfilled."

"It's about exchanging the unnecessary for what one needs," Fang Lei nodded and said.

"If it were only that, it wouldn't be so miraculous. It's also possible to become immortal through the Well of Wishes by wishing for cultivation."

The Enlightenment Book continued to explain, "This is all true, as some people have indeed become immortal through this method."

"But the price of such an exchange can also be terrifying," Chu Yuan said. "I've seen in ancient texts that the immortality achieved through such wishes cost someone the lives of several immortals and a great deal of Divine Artifacts. In my view, it would be more apt to call it the 'Exchange Well,' revealing a hint of malevolence."

"Well of Wishes sounds better than Exchange Well," said the Enlightenment Book.

Sacrificing several immortals for an exchange at first doesn't seem to make the Well of Wishes all that valuable.

But that's a mistake.

Because immortality is hard to achieve; sometimes it's not a matter of resources. Those ancient powerhouses, even after slaying several immortals, found it difficult to help their companions break through and accompany them through reincarnations.

But what if the Well of Wishes could exchange for you?

That's where the value of the Well of Wishes lies.

"These wishes come at a cost, right? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world," Fang Lei said.

"Recently, many strong beings have gathered in the City of Wishes, where the Three Ancestors of Wishes have traded a large amount of immortal substances. Immortal substances, whether for cosmic gods or mortals, are extremely important materials. Moreover, they are planning a great wish during this period."

The Three Ancestors of Wishes are the three immortal beings of the City of Wishes.

"Where did they get so much immortal substance!" the Purple Blood Magic Book exclaimed.

"I'm not very clear on that, the Three Ancestors of Wishes have been around for a very long time. Perhaps they obtained it through wishing exchanges, or perhaps the Cosmic Sea's turbulence unearthed some relics. In any case, it's true; people have indeed made exchanges there," the Enlightenment Book said.

"Ding! The current side quest has been released, the host may choose whether to accept."

[Choice One: Go to the Well of Wishes, make a wish once, and return to the Empire, will be considered completion of the side quest, and you will receive a generous reward.]

[Choice Two: Ignore the Well of Wishes and seclude yourself within the Empire for one month, will complete the second side quest.]

The two side quests presented Chu Yuan with an interesting choice.

Chu Yuan's gaze converged on the glowing words that only he could see.

Over the years, he had learned that the more troublesome the tasks issued by the system were, the greater the rewards. If he only sought pleasure, he wouldn't receive such generous benefits.

"The City of Wishes, the great wish planning,"

Chu Yuan's eyes flickered, "Enlightenment Book, prepare yourself. This time I will go to the City of Wishes to see just how miraculous this Well of Wishes is and whether it can trade for what I need,"

"Ding! The host has selected Choice One of the side quest."

"Your Majesty, the fastest route to the City of Wishes is through the Martial Star. We can set off from this direction," the Enlightenment Book added.

The location of the Martial Star in the cosmos is very special.

"Then we'll take the Martial Star route,"

Chu Yuan commanded, "After I leave the Empire, all my subjects must stay armed and vigilant, intensify the soldiers' training. Without my orders, do not leave the Empire or initiate war recklessly."

"We will follow Your Majesty's orders!"
