Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Lu Yuan understood very well that no one could be completely emotionless.

It was like those Human Sovereign Celestial Emperors. They were already supreme experts, invincible beneath the heavens, true existences who stood above all.

But why were they respected? Why had their deeds remained until this day?

Was it because they were powerful? Because they were invincible?

Perhaps that was part of it, but that only played a very small part.

The true reason countless people remembered them, and the reason their names had been passed down to this day, was that every Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor, after reaching that supreme realm, still did not forget their original intentions.

They guarded certain people, protected living beings, and accomplished tremendous deeds. For this, they could even sacrifice their lives.

Only such people could be called heroes.

Otherwise, there had been countless powerful experts throughout history. Why were only a small number given the title of Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor?

Of course, Lu Yuan did not necessarily want to become such a person.

He only felt that if he had the ability to act but chose not to, and merely watched from the side, that would go against his principles.

At this moment, he stood in the void. With every step, he crossed an immense distance.

His eyes looked down at the grass and trees below, at the living beings between heaven and earth.

All things in this world lived and multiplied without end. No matter how tiny an existence was, it still strove to survive.

Lu Yuan took all of this in, and realization dawned upon him.

It was an insight into his future path, and it was exceptionally clear.

Before this, because of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, he had only gained a rough understanding.

However, he truly saw it now.

Without him realizing it, the aura emanating from his body grew increasingly powerful.

Of course, Lu Yuan did not care about that at all. He continued observing all living things.

He visited places where he had once fought. He also went to the place where he had died in his previous life. It seemed as though a long time had passed, yet in truth, everything remained exceptionally clear.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

After an unknown amount of time, the Bodhi Tree in his mind suddenly emitted streams of brilliant light.

That light swept through every corner of his body, stopping on every inch of flesh and blood.

Very soon, Lu Yuan discovered that some kind of barrier within him had opened.

It was the boundary between the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm and Creation Immortal Realm.

In other words, from this point on, he only needed to keep improving. When the time came, he would break through.

"As expected, the Bodhi Tree is truly worthy of its name."

Lu Yuan smiled. With his talent amplified a billionfold, he could devote himself fully to whatever he did and enter a certain state with ease.

Otherwise, trying to understand the difference between a Grotto-Heaven Immortal and Creation Immortal in such a short time would have been impossible. It might even take several years, or perhaps several decades.

At that moment, he was considering whether to continue.

But then Lu Yuan suddenly discovered that Jiang Ningxian had sent him a message concerning the two Starfield Lords.

"There is finally news?"

His eyes lit up. Several months had already passed. At last, there was information.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath. Looking at the scenery of the earth below, he knew he could only return to it next time.

Without much hesitation, he stepped forward, and his entire body vanished from where he stood.

Mount Tai.

As soon as Lu Yuan returned, he saw Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong standing there. Jiang Huanyun was beside them as well. The three of them stood together in the small courtyard.

But something was wrong. All three wore anxious expressions.

"What happened?" Lu Yuan immediately knew there was likely bad news.

Sure enough, Jiang Ningxian spoke at once. "My father is injured. He was wounded by those two."

A Starfield Lord-level figure had actually been injured?

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was shocked. It was indeed serious news.

Even though he knew the ones who had acted were the patriarchs of the Eternals and the Ji Clan, the problem was that all three of them belonged to the same level. Whether in battle prowess or other aspects, they should have been of roughly equal standing. Under normal circumstances, injuring one another should have been basically impossible.

Unless they fought with their lives on the line.

But supreme experts like them would not be so impulsive. And now, the information he had received was that the Jiang Clan's patriarch had been injured.

This meant one of two things. Either those two had truly fought with their lives on the line, or they had suddenly gained some kind of reliance.

But all of this was only speculation. It still needed to be confirmed.

So Lu Yuan asked what exactly had happened.

"I am not sure." Jiang Ningxian shook her head, then spoke again. "My father only sent word that he was injured and did not say much. But he said he will speak with you personally when the time comes."

Speak with me?

Lu Yuan was momentarily stunned.

His strength was indeed not bad, but it should not be necessary for a Starfield Lord to seek him out personally.

Moreover, that person could also be considered an elder.

After thinking briefly, he said, "If it is that important, I can also head into the universe."

He was now a Grotto-Heaven Immortal. Walking among the stars and crossing the universe did not count for much.

However, Jiang Ningxian continued shaking her head. "My father said you only need to remain at ease in the Milky Way Starfield. He said there are still other matters he must handle before he comes over."

Is that so?

Lu Yuan had nothing more to say. In that case, he could only wait.

"This is the first time since I was born that I have heard of Father being injured." Jiang Haokong spoke, his brows tightly furrowed. He still found it hard to believe.

Long ago, his father, the patriarch of the Jiang Clan, had already become an existence beyond a Celestial Seat Immortal.

It could be said that in the current universe, there were only a handful of true opponents for him.

So there were almost no people capable of injuring him.

Doing so would require a life-and-death battle, and experts of that level simply would not do such a thing.

"The Eternals and the Ji Clan must know something, and they must have done something as well. Those things also cannot be stopped, which is why they acted." Lu Yuan analyzed based on the limited information he had.

For those two Starfield Lords to act and injure someone, they must have had an extraordinary force backing them.

Otherwise, if the Starfield Lords really fought with their lives on the line, no one knew who would die.

And what was the force backing those two?

Lu Yuan was not sure, but a bold guess had already formed in his heart.

"Right, there is another matter. The forces that the Ji Clan and the Eternals had pulled back have appeared again. Their target is the Milky Way Starfield. This time, both sides have brought out their foundations," Jiang Ningxian spoke again. This was the latest news she had received.

In her heart, she guessed that those two Starfield Lords had likely achieved some objective.

Now that the matter was done, they no longer needed to keep lying low.

"Is that so?"

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked into the void above. A wisp of light surged in his eyes.

At this moment, he understood that the true final battle might be about to begin.

Otherwise, the two major clans would not have brought out their foundations.

And their goal...

Was it truly the Milky Way Starfield's Great Age's Providence, or did they have some other objective?
