Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

The Feathered Divine Dynasty retreated, withdrawing beyond the borders of the Reincarnation Realm.

This didn't surprise people too much.

Although the Feathered Divine Dynasty was strong and had many experts, they faced a combined attack from numerous forces, which put them under great pressure. There were simply too many enemies, and even several Divine Kings were covered in blood, wounded.

Especially the Wind God who fought against the Hall Master, half of his body was nearly cleaved off, blood gushing profusely and his very essence severely depleted, nearly causing his fall.

However, as Chu Yuan watched the Feathered Divine Dynasty's retreat, he couldn't shake off an odd feeling, a sharp intuition stemming from his Emperor's insight, that the cunning and deceitful Feathered Divine Emperor was up to something more complex than it seemed.

"The army has retreated!"

Zhao Ge, too, was staring wide-eyed, but as the order to retreat echoed in his ears, he had no choice but to fall back, issuing the command, "Fall back to the Reincarnation Realm!"

As the order was given, the well-trained Divine Army of the Feathered Divine Dynasty managed an orderly withdrawal without slipping into chaos, whereas the fate of the disorderly and varied groups of fighters was no longer within his control.

"Think you can just leave so easily!"

The Beiming Wildlands were ferocious, the perfect time to strike a crippling blow to the enemy as they pulled back to the Reincarnation Realm.

He would not miss this opportunity, leading the brave warriors of the Wilderness, they pounced like ferocious wolves and tigers, attacking with a vengeance.

"You old fart, dare you! I will one day breach your Wilderness!" Zhao Ge bellowed, "Feather Lament Wind, you and I will lead the trusted aides to hold them off, cover the army's retreat!"

"Sky Thunder Gate!"

Chu Yuan didn't ponder the affairs inside the Reincarnation Realm, nor would he let them retreat without putting up a fight. Suddenly, he mustered a sea of thunder that evolved spectacularly, erupting forth with dazzling brilliance as he attacked.

"Hmph!"

Zhao Ge conceded.

He was no match for the Divine Martial Army, but that did not mean they could prevent his retreat.

The battle erupted once more.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat, don't panic. Entering the Reincarnation Realm is part of the Divine Emperor's strategy!"

A deathless being commanded the battlefield, a second-tier deathless, serving as Zhao Ge's right-hand man.

"King of Curses!"

The Gate of Curses unleashed its divine power under Chu Yuan's influence!

The terrifying force of the curse, a black light sweeping across, engulfed everything, the portal suddenly dispersing as one King of Curses after another emerged, extending a dark hand to seize the deathless.

This deathless was in the midst of commanding when suddenly struck by the curse, his face underwent a drastic change.

He tapped into his own power in a desperate resistance, but he was not Zhao Ge, his strength limited, and the power of the King of Curses was incredibly bizarre—to be feared even by the perfected second-tier deathless beings.

A shroud of dark energy enveloped him, the hands of the King of Curses already affixed to him.

"Duan Cheng!"

Zhao Ge wanted to rescue Duan Cheng, but seeing strong adversaries rapidly approaching from afar, he knew deep down that with the bulk of the troops having retreated into the Reincarnation Realm, if he didn't leave now, he would be facing an encirclement.

"Divine Martial Empire, the day I ascend as Divine King, I swear I will shatter your empire!"

Zhao Ge had never been so enraged, and though he wanted to save Duan Cheng, he could only lead the remaining army into the Reincarnation Realm.

By then, Duan Cheng was already trapped, unable to escape the curse.

Merely relying on the power of the King of Curses could only trap Duan Cheng; killing him was not yet feasible.

But now, with the army having departed, there was no one left to save him, and he had completely fallen under Chu Yuan's control.

Roar!

The King of Curses let out a roar, like a ferocious beast, unwilling to hand Duan Cheng over, desiring to devour its prey.

"Return to your place."

Chu Yuan exerted force to control the King of Curses, leaving it no room to resist, transforming it back into the Gate of Curses before directly consuming Duan Cheng.

"Terrifying indeed."

Using the King of Curses as his own tool was something the warriors of the Beiming Wildlands didn't even dare to dream of.

While the Feathered Divine Army had paid a significant price during their retreat, they managed to successfully fall back to the protection of the Reincarnation Realm.

"Great Emperor, the Feathered Divine Army has retreated into the Reincarnation Realm, what should we do?"

Beiming Fengye asked.

"Stand by and watch for the movements of the Mysterious Ancient Emperor."

Chu Yuan was not in a hurry.

He had devoured Duan Cheng and his mana had made great progress, reaching the latter stages of the Undying First Layer of Heaven.

At this moment, there was no presence of the Feathered Divine Army within the Feathered Divine City.

"They've retreated into the Reincarnation Realm, achieving our goal of attacking the Feathered Divine City. Should we pursue?"

Demon Heart Yue turned to the Mysterious Ancient Emperor, asking for his opinion, as he was the only one present capable of contending with the Feathered Divine Emperor.

"The Reincarnation Realm is extremely dangerous, filled with the fallen bodies of numerous ancient immortals and evil corpses. Recklessly pursuing them into it poses great risk. However, if we don't chase them, this battle won't be considered a success, and they can strike at any time."

The Mysterious Ancient Emperor didn't rush to attack, but pondered, "The Feathered Divine Emperor is ruthless. I'm afraid he had already thought of retreating to the Reincarnation Realm before the battle even began."

"Yes, the situation within the Reincarnation Realm is too complex. It is where ancient, supreme rulers have perished," Demon Heart Yue nodded in agreement. "Although they have suffered heavy losses, our losses are also significant."

"There are many treasures within the Reincarnation Realm. The Feathered Divine Emperor can completely scour for treasures within the Reincarnation Realm. Although it is dangerous now before the great calamity has begun, it is not entirely off-limits. Waging war for war's sake, the threat is immense."

The Hall Master of the Godslaying Hall, wearing a dark golden mask, spoke in a distinctly hoarse voice, opening his mouth slowly.

"Indeed, that is the case."

Another strong figure spoke up, coming from the Death Sea. He looked at the Hall Master of the Godslaying Hall. This person was indeed formidable; if the Feathered Divine Dynasty hadn't retreated quickly, the Wind God would have already been slain by him.

"Do we just guard the Reincarnation Realm to fend off their attacks? Only by completely eliminating them can we rest easy."

"I have a different opinion. I am not in favor of directly entering the Reincarnation Realm. The situation inside is unknown now, and the Feathered Divine Emperor is cunning and sly. No one knows what traps he has laid out. I worry that this is a big pitfall."

The Hall Master of the Godslaying Hall shook his head; he disagreed with going in.

"It would be best to obliterate the Feathered Divine Dynasty with the force of a thunderbolt, rendering him as rootless duckweed, compelled to emerge!"

"That's not proper either."

Demon Heart Yue said, "Hall Master of the Godslaying Hall, as you've said, the Feathered Divine Emperor is cunning and despicable. What if he deliberately set this trap, inducing us to attack the Feathered Divine Dynasty? And today, only a few Divine Kings have appeared; the strongest among them, the Celestial Divine King, has yet to show himself."

They all felt the situation was becoming thorny.

The shadow cast by the Feathered Divine Emperor was too large.

Had they been facing the Emperor, they would never have had such concerns.

"I have made my opinion known. How you decide is up to you," the Hall Master of the Godslaying Hall said arrogantly. "If you wish to push forward, I will accompany you."

"Very well."

The Mysterious Ancient Emperor fell silent for a moment and then said, "The Reincarnation Realm is indeed perilous, but don't they also face dangers? Inside, our situations are equivalent; the Reincarnation Realm cannot be controlled by the Feathered Divine Emperor."

"If we attack the Feathered Divine Dynasty, no one knows what he has left in reserve. Without eliminating their experts, the Feathered Divine Dynasty is impregnable. Hence, I decide to enter the Reincarnation Realm, hoping to bury the Feathered Divine Emperor there!"

"Then let us follow the words of the Mysterious Ancient Emperor."

They all nodded their heads.

Indeed, when compared, entering the Reincarnation Realm was the safest option.

"Great Emperor, they have entered the Reincarnation Realm!"

Beiming Fengye said.

"Is it to chase into the Reincarnation Realm?"

"Ding! The current side quest has been released, host may freely choose."

[Side Quest One: Lead the army personally into the Reincarnation Realm and leave.]
