Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

The reason lay in that Providence. It was vast, enveloping the entire Investiture Edict. Even his own name was inscribed on it. Precisely because of this, Lu Yuan seemed to have gained some benefits as well, obtaining new insights into cultivation in the Immortal Realm.

More importantly, his cultivation and evolution speed had become even faster than before. Almost every day brought new changes.

This was a terrifying pace. Generally speaking, even a genius, after reaching the Immortal Realm, needed to spend a great deal of time adapting before they could continue moving forward and reach higher realms. Back then, after Lu Yuan entered the Immortal Realm, he had also spent two or three months before fully adapting.

However, cultivation was even easier than before now.

This was something he had never expected.

Lu Yuan made a rough estimate. If things continued like this, then before long, he would likely be able to reach the peak of Undying Immortal and then advance toward Grotto-Heaven Immortal.

After all, less than a year had passed since his breakthrough.

One year.

From Undying Immortal to Grotto-Heaven Immortal.

If word of this spread, perhaps no one beneath the entire starry cosmos would believe it.

Lu Yuan had also never expected that after gathering the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, the vast Providence they released would actually bring him such benefits.

More importantly, after careful study, he discovered that this Providence did not harm him in the slightest. Instead, because of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, it intertwined with that purple radiance, continuously transforming and sublimating his body and soul.

"Time. It still comes down to time. If I have enough time... I can absolutely reach the supreme heights and truly establish a Celestial Court that can command awe through the ages." Lu Yuan murmured to himself. He had more and more confidence in his future cultivation and evolution.

He had originally thought that dealing with those powerful Outer Cosmos lifeforms was already extremely difficult, let alone the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons afterward. The current changes, however, had finally given him absolute confidence.

The Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token and the Nine Tripod Cauldrons were indeed extraordinary things.

He did not think further.

Lu Yuan once again sank into cultivation.

Time passed, bit by bit.

In the outside world, because of the Celestial Court's proactive attacks, they had killed many people in a short period of time. Among them, there was no shortage of Sages, and even Immortals had been injured. For the first time, the Outer Cosmos beings had witnessed the Celestial Court's strength.

As for those excessive actions from before, they finally no longer dared to commit them and became obedient. Some even felt that the Celestial Court intended to use them as stepping stones for its rise.

Although there was some anger in their hearts, they had no way to deal with it. After all, the current Celestial Court was indeed very powerful. Together with Lu Yuan and the Jiang Clan, those who dared to actively provoke them were likely only the top ten starfields.

"The way I see it, if things continue like this, the Milky Way Starfield will rise sooner or later."

"Indeed. In the ancient era, it was once an existence ranked in the top ten."

"It looks like it is going to recover its former glory."

Some Outer Cosmos beings also began sighing.

They had originally thought that this world had been sealed away for too long. Once they descended, they would be able to dominate everything. After all, this place had only just begun awakening and evolving.

Who could have known that in such a short time, this world would actually reach such a level? In the end, they were the ones who felt fear.

However, there were still people who felt that this situation likely could not continue for much longer, because they had already received news that the Eternals and the Ji Clan were preparing to act. All their previous preparations were already complete. Now they had even formed an alliance with the Sukhāvatī Starfield.

Three great starfields, all existences ranked in the top ten. Among them was even one force that could faintly be called number one.

Even with the Jiang Clan cooperating with them, what could it change?

Could the Celestial Court truly withstand them?

However, there were still people who held opposing opinions, and the reason was simple.

This world had encountered too many crises, most of them catastrophic. But what had happened in the end? None of those disasters had come to pass, because Lu Yuan was here.

He always had a way to resolve everything.

This view did indeed receive the approval of many people.

Thus, under the two different opinions, everyone waited to see what would happen. They all wanted to know what the final result would be.

On this day, the Ji Clan and the Eternals jointly released a message.

They hoped that the so-called Celestial Court, as well as Lu Yuan, would leave Mount Tai within half a month.

As soon as this news emerged, it immediately shocked everyone. They knew the two great forces would act, but they had not expected it to be in this manner. Judging by the message alone, the two great forces seemed to have set their sights on Mount Tai.

That was no wonder. Mount Tai was one of the most special places in this world. The legends and records concerning it were no less than those of Mount Kunlun.

The Outer Cosmos beings all felt that occupying Mount Tai equated to the possibility of intercepting more of the Great Age's Providence. However, no one had chosen to do so, because they all knew Lu Yuan guarded that place.

Now, the two great forces had directly made their move. They wanted to seize and occupy it.

Everyone wanted to know what kind of response the Celestial Court would give. Most living beings knew very clearly that regardless of whether the Celestial Court agreed or not, the final great battle would be unavoidable.

The two great forces' announcement was merely an excuse to act.

Yet what no one expected was that the Celestial Court gave no response. Even the people of the Jiang Clan did not appear from beginning to end.

They ignored it. Completely.

At once, many Outer Cosmos beings felt that the Celestial Court truly was too arrogant. Those were two great forces, and perhaps there was another force behind them as well. Yet the Celestial Court had directly ignored them.

But at further thought, there seemed to be no problem. No matter what, the great battle was going to begin. Whether they responded or not, what difference did it make?

Very soon, half a month passed. Seeing that Lu Yuan's side remained unmoved, the two great forces finally could not endure any longer and issued another statement.

It was a very simple one.

In three days, they would ascend Mount Tai.

Those few short words contained tremendous anger. Everyone knew that this might be the great battle that decided the situation in this world. It might even determine whether the Milky Way Starfield could completely rise.

If the two great forces won, then the so-called Celestial Court would inevitably vanish into ashes. If Lu Yuan won, then the Milky Way Starfield would once again appear before everyone.

It would be seen by all in the most forceful posture.

Time continued to pass. Everyone was waiting in expectation.

Not many people chose to go and watch the battle. Only some Immortals approached.

After all, if the great battle began, who knew what might happen? What if a battle between Grotto-Heaven Immortals directly broke out? Anyone standing nearby and caught in the aftermath might not be able to endure it, even if they were a Great Sage.

Everyone knew that the two great forces were aiming to destroy the Celestial Court and Lu Yuan. This time, no matter what, they would not stop. Once the great battle began and the fighting reached its wildest point, who would care who was nearby?

This was what people called immortals fighting while mortals suffered. In the eyes of the Immortals, even Great Sages were mortals.
