Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Powerful waves of energy churned within the void, sweeping across everyone, but the rift in the void quickly settled down, becoming what looked like a tunnel.

The members of the Celestial Court watched in astonishment and curiosity. Zhu Qingyu and the others could feel that walking through the rift would bring them to their destination in an instant.

It meant that King Lu had built them a passageway by his own power. They didn't have to fly through the air and cross vast distances, as Lu Yuan had just connected the spaces of their origin and destination through one passageway.

It was a godlike feat that shook the hearts of the members of the Celestial Court. With a mere raise of his hand, Lu Yuan had linked the spaces of their origin and destination in one single move.

The Jiang siblings remained calm. They knew a Grotto-Heaven Immortal had mastery over the power of space. Opening a passageway within this world was as easy as taking candy from a baby. In fact, if Lu Yuan wished, he could carve open a rift in the void that would lead to the moon.

Of course, the tunnel wouldn't last long. Space was great at mending itself. In other words, a rift in space or the void could only be maintained for a long time if the creator of that rift was strong enough to shatter space outright.

However, those who could truly shatter the void were Domain Lords or Starfield Lords, as shattering space meant destroying it.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan's gaze stayed as calm as ever, as if he hadn't done anything special. Then he turned toward the people and said, "This will be the Celestial Court's first campaign outside.

"For the first time ever, we're about to show our strength before the beings of the Outer Cosmos. Today, we shall stand on the same level as the great clans and races across the universe."

People had acknowledged the Celestial Court's might, but ninety-nine percent of that acknowledgement depended on Lu Yuan. However, things were different this time.

The Celestial Court was about to display its might so that no one would ever look down on it. When the members of the Celestial Court heard him, they nodded solemnly. They all knew what they had to do.

"Move out!" Lu Yuan said.

The members of the Celestial Court walked through the rift in the void.

The Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token had drawn the eyes of countless beings from the Outer Cosmos, and all of them were converging on Mount Emei to fight for it. If a great battle were to break out, it would surely be dangerous for the members of the Celestial Court, yet they showed no hesitation whatsoever.

After all, they knew that this was the moment to prove themselves.

Otherwise, if they still had to rely on King Lu after going this far, the Celestial Court would become completely and utterly useless. With that in mind, every one of them looked resolute and determined to prove themselves.

"Where is Senior Jiang Huanyun?" Lu Yuan asked.

"He'll appear when the time is right. He and some others are backing us up from the rear," Jiang Ningxian said. Since they would have to compete with so many people, their best experts had to keep the majority of those people in check.

The Celestial Court lacked such experts, and supplying it was the Jiang Clan's part. Otherwise, there would be no point in working together at all.

"I heard a few decent opponents have shown up. I really want to fight," Jiang Haokong remarked, looking eager for the action. The opponents he meant were the Rankers, Holy Sons, and Saintesses. Since he was no match for Lu Yuan, he figured that everyone else would surely not be his match as well.

"Looks like it's going to be really lively," Lu Yuan remarked with a smile.

In his own mind, the Rankers, Holy Sons, and Saintesses, as well as the rest of the younger generation, were no longer his opponents. Now, he was more worried about whether there would be any Creation Immortals among the enemies. If not, fighting for the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token would be relatively easy.

It was fair to say that Lu Yuan was now a powerhouse. Of course, the outside world still remained ignorant of the fact that he had already become a Grotto-Heaven Immortal, but Lu Yuan preferred it that way.

There was more he could do that way, after all.

"Let's go."

With that, the three of them said no more and left. Not long after, the members of the Celestial Court, along with the beast kings such as the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Peacock King, all stepped through the rift.

The Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token would belong to those among the truly strong, and there was little they could do about it. However, they also knew that things would surely become extremely chaotic, and once that happened, it would be their moment to strike.

For the first time ever, the core members of the Celestial Court were going to clash with those invaders from the Outer Cosmos.

"Old Ji, we finally don't have to worry all the time," Elder Yun said, staring at everyone in the distance in a daze. Those people were all Sages. This was a sight they never once dared to even imagine before.

"You're right. Back then, I had been feeling helpless about the fact that I had no idea how this world was going to change," Elder Ji replied, nodding while feeling many different emotions at once.

They were one of the first Awakened of the world, and they had a ton of burden on their shoulders at the time. Unlike the majority of Awakened out there, they had to think about the bigger picture as well as the lives of the civilians.

Even with plenty of resources at hand, the ever-changing world and the threats everywhere meant that they could barely look after themselves.

However, things were different now. The Celestial Court had finally matured with plenty of Sages. Soon, they would surely have Immortals. At this point, they no longer felt the need to worry about the future.

More than that, the Celestial Court could now stand shoulder to shoulder with the clans and races of the Outer Cosmos. This was all because of King Lu.

The two old men sighed, knowing the choice they had made back then had been absolutely right. Thanks to that decision, Huaxia remained thriving amidst the Global Awakening.

The two elders remained silent, transfixed on the rift. When the rift in the void disappeared, the two elders turned around and left.

On the other side, everyone saw that Mount Emei had become unlike what it had been before. Massive mountains completely filled their line of sight, and the scenery reminded them of the wilderness of ancient times, with all manner of mutated beasts roaming the land.

The powerful mutated beasts seemed to have noticed their arrival, as they decisively left the region. The ones that remained weren't worth a second glance.

Soon, the void itself trembled, and countless figures appeared, exuding formidable auras that swept across the wilderness. The beings from the Outer Cosmos had all arrived at Mount Emei.

Gazing at the seemingly endless wilderness and sensing the powerful auras scattered all over the place, they revealed faces full of astonishment.

It wasn't that no one had ever come to Mount Emei before. Mount Emei had just changed too much. Now, it gave off a strange feeling that made everyone feel that a golden opportunity was hidden within it somewhere!

As time went on, more and more people converged on Mount Emei, creating the perfect recipe for a storm!
