Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

The world had awakened and transformed. It was not only humans who had stepped onto the path of evolution; mutated beasts had as well, represented by the Peacock King and the others.

Now, the major Outer Cosmos forces were about to act against the Celestial Court. Their purpose was to destroy this world's power of self-preservation.

Many beast kings had already joined the Celestial Court long ago. Even if they had not, when facing such a situation, they would still choose without hesitation to support the human race. The reason was simple. No matter what, both sides were living beings who shared this world.

The major Outer Cosmos forces were outsiders. When facing outsiders, they naturally had to unite as one and act. Protecting this world was protecting themselves.

"No matter how one puts it, establishing the Celestial Court was indeed the most correct thing you could have done. It truly united the living beings of this world. That is why you have been able to continuously survive every crisis," Jiang Ningxian said to Lu Yuan beside her.

She could not help but let out a sigh; she had always felt that he was truly very intelligent, as though he had foreseen many things long ago.

Although the mutated beasts' joining could not be said to play a decisive role, no matter what, it had united all the living beings of this world. This point alone was extremely hard to achieve. At the very least, it would prevent outsiders from taking advantage of an opening. Thus, in her heart, she naturally admired him.

"If I said I foresaw all of this, would you believe me?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled.

He knew what would happen after the Global Awakening. At least, he knew what would happen over the succeeding ten years.

So with every step, even if he could not make the most correct choice, he could definitely make the most suitable one. Without this, even if he himself was the strongest in this world, it would still be extremely difficult to deal with the current situation.

Sometimes, even if one possessed strength that others could not match, one still could not resolve everything. Lu Yuan had always understood this very clearly. That was why he had chosen to join forces with all sides.

"I naturally believe everything you say," Jiang Ningxian replied, but in truth, she did not understand the meaning behind Lu Yuan's words.

Neither did Lu Yuan choose to explain.

Very soon, everyone ascended Jade Emperor Peak.

After the awakening, Mount Tai had also changed. Even with all the Celestial Court members, as well as the Jiang Clan members and the beast kings, it still did not seem crowded. Instead, it was extremely spacious.

After that, Zhu Qingyu and the others began making the final arrangements. The two great forces would likely appear very soon. This was a crucial moment. No matter what, they could not be careless.

Even if they could not do much in the process, they still had to be prepared.

During this time, Lu Yuan also sensed powerful auras around them, belonging to Immortal Realm existences. Clearly, they were experts from the various Outer Cosmos races. However, for the time being, they had not revealed any hostility, so he paid them no mind.

At once, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and adjusted his current state. Although this battle had the Jiang Clan's help, Lu Yuan had never been the kind of person who placed his hopes in the hands of others. Especially in such a crucial matter, his own strength was the most important thing.

Time continued to pass.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

After an unknown length of time, a powerful aura emerged.

It was Jiang Huanyun. He had already returned. Looking at Lu Yuan and the others, he slowly said, "They are here."

The moment his words fell, a violent aura appeared in the firmament, and the clouds split apart.

A powerful force suddenly descended, as though breaking through everything. Immediately afterward, figures appeared one after another at the edge of the sky.

Nearly every figure was in the Immortal Realm. By rough count, there were at least ten.

As expected of two great forces ranked in the top ten. The moment they made a move, there were ten Immortals. To some Outer Cosmos races, this was simply a grand display. After all, in their own clans, the total number of Immortals was at most around this number.

Now, in order to deal with Lu Yuan, these two forces had directly brought them out. It was indeed shocking.

At the front were the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor and the old man from the Eternals.

Behind them were also the two Holy Sons. Powerful auras emanated from every one of them, continuously spreading outward.

The power they displayed seemed capable of standing above the firmament itself, terrifying beyond compare. When the two great forces acted, they were just too strong.

Even the Immortal Realm existences watching from the side not far away could not help retreating after sensing that aura, as though they feared they were too close and would anger the people of the two great forces.

"Lu Yuan!" the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor called out.

His gaze was cold, like a god looking down upon all living beings. "I gave you half a month to leave Mount Tai completely, giving you a chance to live. I did not expect you to squander it and even choose to ignore us. This time, no matter what, we cannot let you go.

"The universe is vast, and powerful experts are countless. Do not think that because you have some strength, you can look down on everything. Otherwise, you will inevitably pay the price."

Before, the two sides would still have a proper talk. Now, things were different. They had already all but torn away the last pretense.

There was no need to waste more time. It would be better to act directly. Thus, he addressed Lu Yuan outright, even temporarily ignoring the Jiang Clan beside him.

But Jiang Ningxian could not quite let that pass.

"Your reason sounds righteous enough. If someone does not obey you, does that mean they are guilty?"

After all, her good temper only appeared before Lu Yuan. Others naturally could not enjoy such treatment.

"Saintess of the Jiang Clan, this matter originally had nothing to do with your Jiang Clan. We also informed you through various methods and asked you not to participate. We simply did not expect all of it to be ignored. Since that is the case, do not blame us for being impolite."

The one who spoke was the old man of the Eternals. After all, long ago, the Ji Clan had had rather good relations with the Jiang Clan, so at certain times, their words could not be too harsh.

But the Eternals did not care about these things at all, so he spoke without restraint.

"What my Jiang Clan does is not yours to judge," Jiang Haokong also retorted, the powerful aura around him trembling without pause.

In truth, both sides knew that this great battle was unavoidable, but neither wanted to be the first to act. Until the very end, no one knew what the final result of this battle would be.

However, the words that needed to be said had already been said.

Lu Yuan rose to his feet, his expression calm. He said nonchalantly, "If you want to act, then begin. Cut the talk. I know that you not only want Mount Tai, you also want my life. That is fine. But the premise of all this is that you must be capable of killing me."

His voice was not loud, but if one listened carefully, it carried a powerful confidence.

It seemed this time would be the same as every time before, even when facing the two greatest forces beneath the starry cosmos.
