Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Lu Yuan immediately knew who it was, and restrained the aura around him immediately.

Then, he walked out of the room and saw the visitor—Jiang Ningxian.

Their gazes met, and both their eyes twinkled with joy.

"It seems you've gained quite a lot again." Jiang Ningxian broke the silence first. Looking at Lu Yuan, the corners of her lips rose even further. She had no idea why but every time she saw him, an unexplainable happiness rose from within her.

However, she really could not explain the rationale behind those emotions.

"It can't really be considered a great gain. I only fused with the seventh Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token," Lu Yuan answered.

By now, the two of them were open with each other about almost everything. Jiang Ningxian also knew how many Celestial Emperor's Ancient Tokens he had, so it didn't matter even if he revealed it.

"As if I don't know what happens every time you finish seclusion." Jiang Ningxian smiled, thinking back to the time since she had descended.

Whenever Lu Yuan entered seclusion and seriously began cultivating, he would improve tremendously, whether in strength or in other aspects.

She knew this well, and that was why she said what she said.

Lu Yuan did not dwell on it further and went straight to the point. "Anyway, you came to find me for something important, right?"

He knew that under normal circumstances, she would not come randomly, especially while he was still in seclusion.

So there had to be some major matter that had happened.

"Yes."

Jiang Ningxian also knew it was time to talk about serious business.

She composed herself, then said, "We have discovered traces of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. My father's intention is for Haokong and I to take some of our clansmen with us and leave Earth to go to war.

"My father also said that if it's possible, he hopes you can go as well. Dealing with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons will require your help."

She told him all the news that had come from the starry sky, including Jiang Taiyu's hope that Lu Yuan would join the war.

As always, if they wanted to deal with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, relying only on one person or one clan definitely would not work.

In everyone's eyes now, Lu Yuan was an extraordinary existence even though he was only at the Creation Immortal Realm.

Jiang Taiyu also valued him greatly. He believed that if Lu Yuan could join them in dealing with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, things would likely go much more smoothly.

After hearing these words, Lu Yuan was immediately startled. Just like the Jiang clansmen, the news about the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons also surprised him.

Lu Yuan had previously had a premonition that those existences might descend soon, but he had not expected it to happen so quickly, without any warning.

Yet thinking about it carefully, it also seemed normal. The two forces had been brewing this day for a very long time. He had already determined before that their plan had begun, and now several months had passed.

It made sense that it would start now.

While Lu Yuan was silently pondering, Jiang Ningxian thought he was hesitating, and added, "My father said it's up to you whether you go or not."

After all, Earth was his homeland. How could he choose to leave so easily? Moreover, in this era, the safety of Earth's living beings was tied to Lu Yuan.

That was why she added that remark, so that he would not be too conflicted.

But Lu Yuan said, "I'll go. Why wouldn't I? Since there is an opportunity to face the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons directly, I naturally have to seize it."

When he had been in seclusion just now, he had been thinking all along about how he could experience great battles, use them to go one step further and reach the higher Celestial Seat Immortal Realm.

On Earth, he no longer had any opponents.

But the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were different. Lu Yuan had always regarded them as great enemies and as a future tribulation. They surely possessed immensely powerful strength, exactly enough to satisfy those conditions.

Battling existences like that would also inevitably be a fight of life and death.

There was another point.

Lu Yuan knew that if he did not take this opportunity to understand the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, things would likely become very troublesome later.

Yes. He believed that the descent of those existences now was only the beginning. In the future, they would absolutely invade on a large scale. At that time, the entire universe would suffer calamity.

It would not be like now, where they had only been discovered.

After all, the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had methods that could allow even existences like Starfield Lords to ascend another realm higher.

Without needing to think, there were surely existences among them who surpassed the Supreme Immortal Realm. They had not appeared now likely because they were restrained by some reason.

Once that reason vanished, they would descend in full force, just like how the Outer Cosmos beings had come to the Milky Way Starfield and Earth.

Under such circumstances, Lu Yuan wanted to thoroughly understand these so-called Extracosmic Heavenly Demons before things reached an uncontrollable stage.

He wanted to see exactly what abilities they possessed. As the saying went, know thyself and thy enemy, and you would be victorious in a hundred battles.

If he did not even know what the enemy was like, how much chance of victory would there be in the battles afterward?

So Lu Yuan naturally would not miss this opportunity.

He did consider Earth's safety, but the current situation was that the most dangerous enemies, the Ji Clan and the Eternals, had almost all withdrawn.

The remaining Outer Cosmos beings could not stir up much trouble with the people of the Celestial Court holding the fort.

In that case, he did not need to worry too much.

On top of that, Zhu Qingyu and the others had already grown up. In the future, they would all be pillars of the Celestial Court.

Lu Yuan had to let each of them possess the methods and confidence to stand on their own. But the problem was that as long as he sat in the Celestial Court, they would never have that opportunity.

So it was time for him to leave and let Zhu Qingyu and the younger generation shoulder the responsibility of protecting this world.

This was exactly what he had planned from the beginning. Lu Yuan had always been arranging things so the younger generation of the Celestial Court could grow up, allowing him to leave one day.

Now was the best opportunity.

So, with all these reasons combined, he made the decision to leave Earth.

There was also another point. Lu Yuan had cultivated and evolved for many years, all the way to the Immortal Realm, yet he had never left the Solar System.

In the eyes of others, this was absolutely something difficult to imagine.

Which earth-shaking great figure in the universe had never crossed the cosmos?

"You'll go?" Jiang Ningxian was stunned at first, but a smile soon appeared on her visage.

She naturally hoped Lu Yuan would come along with her but she felt he had many concerns. Now that she had heard he would leave with her and head into the starry cosmos, she could be said to be extremely happy.

However, perhaps out of a touch of coyness, she tried to keep her emotions from showing on her face.

Lu Yuan did not know what she was thinking either.

After a brief moment of thought, he continued, "But I need to let the Celestial Court's members know about this. I also have to tell them that I'm really leaving this time."
