Chapter 1866: Chapter 1866: The Second City [4 Updates]

[Option one: Build a Second City within the Eternal Killing Formation, and maintain the city for one hundred thousand years without destruction, receiving two million Destiny Points, Dark God of Divinity x1, and one mysterious random reward.]

[Option two: Do not build the Second City.]

“Divinity, Dark God!”

Chu Yuan looked at the rewards offered by the system, his expression slightly moved. These rewards were indeed abundant, but building a city for a hundred thousand years wasn’t something he could casually do to earn the rewards.

During these hundred thousand years, he would inevitably face many threats.

If he didn’t build, he would receive no rewards.

Chu Yuan’s choice was, of course, Option one.

The system was too mysterious, more terrifying than simple regulations. He suspected it might even transcend the entire Eternal Route.

“For the ascension of my Nine Realms and the path of the strongest, I must carve out the path of the strongest. The immediate goal is the Second City!”

A sharp and resolute light flashed in Chu Yuan’s eyes!

The path of the strongest was now ready to begin.

He understood why the First City remained peaceful—too close to the multiverse. Many people knew of his ambition, but due to his strength, they found it hard to attack him.

Should Chu Yuan wait for a few more eras, the Imperial strength would undoubtedly be greater.

Acting now also had immense benefits, having the multiverse as his greatest backing.

However, he knew once that Second City was built, it would stir up chaos. The powerhouses along the Eternal Route would not want to see the emergence of the strongest and would try many ways to cut off his path.

He feared no challenge.

“All Origin Gods, come to me!”

Chu Yuan issued the War Command.

All the strong gathered, knowing the Imperial war machine was about to be activated again.

Chu Yuan gazed at the assembly of powerhouses. His Empire had developed tremendously, with even several Origin Gods pledging allegiance after tens of thousands of years since the establishment of the First City.

“Strongholds of the Empire, I want to open a route of eternity, train soldiers for a thousand days to use them one moment; the time has come for you to go to war.”

Chu Yuan looked majestically upon the myriad of powerhouses.

“The Eternal Second City is about to be established within the Eternal Killing Formation. Once standing, the city will endure numerous battles, and many will seek to intercept us. But I fear not. I could choose an easy route, yet I insist on the hardest, the most rewarding path!”

Chu Yuan declared.

“We heed the Emperor’s commands.”

The Empire’s powerful warriors were brimming with battle spirit.

“Good, very good!”

Chu Yuan said, “I will lead you directly into the Eternal Killing Formation. The Empire will shift focus there, and the Second City will be our largest battleground. Many will attempt to block our Imperial route.”

“If we head to the Second City for war, what about the First City? Surely some will attempt to undermine us,”

Duan Qingshan said.

Should the Emperor lead many powerhouses into the Eternal Killing Formation, the First City’s defenses might become vulnerable, enticing enemies to attack—an eventuality that cannot be ignored.

“I have set heavy defenses in the First City, inscribing the Eternal Gateway with time-space powers making it vanish at critical moments.”

Chu Yuan replied.

“Those who care are focused on me, wherever I am will be the main battlefield, as those who wish to intercept me understand, without crushing me, destroying ten thousand means nothing, even those at the Eternal Level maintain their dignity.”

Since the founding of the Divine Martial, it has been ceaselessly embroiled in wars.

Despite unifying within the multiverse, preparations for war never ceased; indeed, training became even stricter.

Once the order for expeditions towards the Eternal Killing Formation was given, the entire Empire erupted into excitement, countless preparing to join the path of eternity.

Yet, the wars along the Eternal Route differ from those within the multiverse.

Due to unique circumstances, survival outside requires the realm of the Original God, or one might metaphorically drown as if submerged underwater.

For participation of Heavenly Dao Gods, the Fifth Dao stage is essential, although they cannot serve as main combatants but can partake in assistance within specific temporal planes.

Their task is aboard the Origin Battleship, operating until the city’s establishment triggers the formations within.

The announcement ignited excitement even in the First City.

“The Empire is going on an expedition to build the Second City, we want to enlist!”

“To contribute to the Empire’s Eternal Route, we offer our strength in gratitude for its protection!”

…

Since the First City’s establishment over tens of thousands of years, many Original Gods settled there, making it home.

Upon hearing the news, some eagerly volunteered to join the Empire’s expedition.

Some truly appreciated Empire’s shelter.

Others saw their self-interest—if successful in establishing the Second City, their efforts would be handsomely rewarded.

However, few knew where the Empire would establish the Second City.

Many sought to join the Empire, but its recruitment was very challenging.

They noticed, at times, weaker cultivators gained entry more easily than seasoned Original Gods wandering along the Eternal Route, making inclusion difficult.

This exacts an opportunity.

Chu Yuan, embracing voluntary participation, offered no rejection to these volunteers, seeing them fit for essential logistical roles in the city’s construction.

Thunderous Roar!

After days of preparation, powerful Origin Battleships surged from the First City, hurtling into distant territories.

The momentum was colossal, with various forces present along the path to the Eternal Killing Formation.

The overwhelming might was undeniable, with intent to conceal avoided.

Opening an ancient eternal road would generate such waves, and Chu Yuan aimed to extend his imperial might everywhere.

He wielded his strength to exert control over all power.

But this measure was intolerable to many powerhouses, prohibiting such domination.

“In this age, so many Divine Martial Empire ships…”

“What are they planning?”

“My heavens, such countless Origin God auras, has the Divine Martial Empire mobilized entirely? Why such formidable presence for an expedition, where are they aiming?”

“Quick, move aside, do not obstruct the Divine Martial Empire’s path!”

The Empire’s warships charged forward with relentless force, and any ancient obstacles encountered were shattered relentlessly!

Origin Battleships are adept at traversing the Eternal Route, moving faster than the Origin Gods.

“The Eternal Killing Formation has been reached.”

At this moment, Chu Yuan already saw the formation, immediately commanding, “Expel all those exploring the Eternal Killing Formation; those who resist are to be slain. Occupy the Eternal Killing Formation, make it an Imperial forbidden zone, and establish the Second City!”
