Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

The Thunderflash Starfield?

Hearing her words, Lu Yuan paused. The name sounded very familiar. When he had first awakened back then, it had been the first major faction he faced.

Yet in his heart, he did not quite understand why the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons would appear there.

His brows immediately drew together, and he asked, "The Extracosmic Heavenly Demons are in the Thunderflash Starfield? Then what about the Celestials?"

Lu Yuan knew that although many Celestials had descended to Earth, a large portion of them still remained in their own starfield. Most major clans of the starfields were like this.

No one would abandon their own homeland for the sake of certain things.

So the question in his heart was "if the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had appeared, what had happened to the Celestials?"

Could it be...

"We still don't know." Jiang Ningxian shook her head, then continued, "the information my father gave was limited, and it was extremely urgent. But my guess is that they are either all gone, or all of them have become puppets of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. Even the Eternals and the Ji Clan chose to cooperate with them.

"If they descended there, conquering a single Thunderflash Starfield would not be difficult."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded. He felt that this guess made sense. However, there was no way to know which outcome it was for now.

Of course, there was another possibility. Perhaps from the very beginning, the two forces had planned things this way.

"All right. It is time to go."

Lu Yuan did not say anything more after that. He cast one final glance at the Celestial Court members and the beast kings, then raised his hand.

Rumble.

A violent roar rang out.

Before them, a rift in the void appeared. Beyond the rift was an endless, boundless starfield. Looking at it like this, no one could tell where it led.

Even Lu Yuan himself was not clear on that.

He had used his methods to open a passage through the void. The destination of this passage was based on the domain point Jiang Ningxian had given him, but he did not know exactly where they would land.

This was Lu Yuan's first time leaving Earth. What he could be certain of was that after passing through the passage, he would still be within the Milky Way Starfield.

The starfield was too vast. Even with his strength, he could not leave the Milky Way Starfield in one attempt.

After that, he said nothing more and stepped forward. His entire body vanished into the passage.

Jiang Ningxian and her brother exchanged a look. They said nothing either and followed closely behind.

Once everyone had left, the passage disappeared completely.

He was gone.

Lu Yuan had left.

"Should we... disperse as well?"

Zhu Qingyu looked at the figures that had already disappeared.

Then she raised her head and looked at the void, a sense of loss surfacing in her eyes. However, that emotion was replaced by resolve soon enough. She knew that with Lu Yuan gone, they would have to face everything that followed on their own.

"Yes. We still have many things to do," Ice Fairy replied. Like Zhu Qingyu, her gaze had settled into resolve. The Celestial Court was now in their hands.

From the very beginning of Lu Yuan's plan, he had only been the nominal master of the Celestial Court. He rarely involved himself in specific matters. His goal had been to allow the younger generation to still support the sky on their own even after he left.

Thus, everyone present became resolute after a brief moment of distraction. They looked toward Jiang Huanyun and bowed slightly, then each departed.

With Lu Yuan absent, cultivation and the protection of ordinary people still had to continue. They could not slacken.

Otherwise, they believe they would be unworthy of King Lu's trust.

"King Lu has truly raised these young people well," said a Jiang Clan member who walked over. He was also one of Jiang Ningxian's uncles.

He was at the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm, making him a powerful expert in his own right. They had stayed on Earth partly to stabilize the situation here, and partly to assist the Celestial Court.

Now that he saw the resolve in Zhu Qingyu and the others' hearts, he immediately praised them.

"Naturally. Lu Yuan is not only unparalleled in temperament, but also possesses the means to plan for the future," Jiang Huanyun replied, still smiling. He thought very highly of Lu Yuan and the Celestial Court.

The two sides had cooperated for a long time. They had gained enough understanding of each other.

"So no matter what, we who remain here must assist the Celestial Court properly. The Celestial Court of the future may even become stronger than our Jiang Clan," another Jiang Clan member added. Many of the current Celestial Court members were Jiang Clan people as well.

If the Celestial Court grew strong, the Jiang Clan would naturally benefit too. In other words, their fates were closely tied, in prosperity and suffering.

"I am wondering," one of the Jiang Clan members said then, looking into the void with an expectant gleam in his eyes. "When this King Lu returns next time, could he have become... a Celestial Seat Immortal?"

After descending, they had personally witnessed how Lu Yuan had grown.

In just a few short years, he had reached a terrifying level. He had even slain Creation Immortals who had long been famous. In this regard, Lu Yuan's performance had left them deeply shaken.

Even as members of the Jiang Clan, they had never seen such a speed of growth before. That was why they looked forward to it.

The next time they met, would Lu Yuan have grown into a Celestial Seat Immortal?

A Celestial Seat Immortal stood at the very peak of the universe. One step above that was the Supreme Immortal Realm, the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm.

"He has always been able to bring us surprises."

Jiang Huanyun was actually looking forward to it as well. However, he did not continue thinking about it.

Next, the Jiang Clan also had to help the Celestial Court stabilize Earth's situation.

***

In the starry cosmos, countless stars flickered. Dazzling starlight seemed to exist everywhere.

Yet in the end, all starlight would be extinguished. In the universe, the only things that could exist eternally were desolation and cold.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

On a certain planet, a rift appeared in the starry sky. A group of people walked out from within and stood upon the ground.

Strictly speaking, this planet had no ground. It had only endless magma.

Indeed, this was a planet with an average temperature reaching several thousand degrees. Ordinary beings could not possibly exist here.

Yet none of this meant anything to those present. It was not even enough to make them furrow their brows.

"So this is the Outer Cosmos beyond Earth. It is somewhat different from what I imagined," Lu Yuan remarked, looking at the strange scene before him.

A gleam shone in his eyes. He knew that from this day onward, he would have to campaign in this wider cosmos.
