Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Jiang Ningxian and her younger brother had both entered the Immortal Realm. It could not be considered some tremendous event, but it was naturally still worth celebrating. After all, for the two siblings, breaking through was only a matter of time.

However, the fact that these two, who had come from the Outer Cosmos, were able to successfully enter the Immortal Realm at this moment actually signaled a problem—the restriction caused by the Separation of Heaven and Earth was growing weaker and weaker.

Otherwise, under its suppression, no matter how extraordinary their talents were, they could not possibly have broken through so smoothly. This was precisely why Jiang Ningxian looked so solemn. She knew that soon enough, those existences from the Outer Cosmos would be able to descend completely.

"We've already made enough preparations. I believe that later on, even if powerful beings arrive, there will be no need to worry too much. As you said, we aren't facing the entire cosmos," Lu Yuan remarked. He knew what she was thinking, and tried to dispel her concerns.

The Separation of Heaven and Earth could protect the Milky Way Starfield temporarily, but it could not protect it forever.

In the end, they still had to face the Outer Cosmos beings head-on.

"I know."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningxian nodded, then continued, "But I have also received news that to deal with you, the Ji Clan and the Eternals Eternal Race have already invited the powerful experts within their clans out of their seclusion. They have also joined forces with several major clans. According to my estimate, the moment the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth disappears, they will come looking for trouble."

The two Holy Sons were already troublesome enough. If several other powerful experts were added to the mix, then things would indeed become extremely difficult. At the very least, relying on one person's strength alone would make it impossible to handle.

That was the reason for her worry.

"But you know that this is not the first time I've faced something like this. So no matter what sort of existence comes against me this time, the result will still be the same," Lu Yuan spoke gently, but his tone carried absolute confidence.

He had already become an immortal. His life and soul had both undergone sublimation.

The Outer Cosmos did indeed have countless powerful experts, but it wasn't that simple to be a threat to him.

"Really?" Jiang Ningxian froze when she heard this, then immediately thought of many things.

Not long after he had first descended, he had slaughtered a Sage. Later, he had killed the projections of the two Holy Sons. Not long ago, he had even directly slain that black dragon. It seemed to be exactly as he said.

No matter what kind of challenge Lu Yuan faced, he had always endured in the end.

"Of course." Lu Yuan nodded, then asked, "Besides, isn't there still the Jiang Clan?"

"That's true." Jiang Ningxian finally relaxed. She knew very well that he would not say such things, nor would he do anything, without confidence. Since he was confident, he must have a way. Her own worries might very well be unnecessary.

"You two... I feel like something's strange." Just then, Jiang Haokong, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke.

He looked at his sister, then at Lu Yuan, doubt in his eyes. The atmosphere between them seemed somewhat unusual, but he could not say exactly what was wrong. In any case, there was definitely something going on here.

"What's strange? I previously asked you to contact our clansmen and have them continue sending people over. Have you taken care of that?"

Afraid he might notice something, Jiang Ningxian immediately diverted the topic. Fortunately, aside from his extraordinary talent, Jiang Haokong seemed to be missing a few strings in his head.

After hearing his sister's words, he immediately put aside the odd feeling in his heart and replied, "I've contacted them. It shouldn't be long before our Fifth Ancestor comes over. With the old man here, even if something happens, he'll be able to keep it under control."

The Fifth Ancestor he spoke of was one of the Jiang Clan's hidden foundations, an Immortal with immense power.

Lu Yuan had already learned about him before.

The Jiang Clan was truly beginning to exert its strength, just as they had promised earlier.

"I'll go now and recall all the forces of the Celestial Court divisions." Lu Yuan spoke again.

There was no helping it. Even he was uncertain when the Separation of Heaven and Earth would completely disappear, and he did not want his subordinates taking risks.

After all, the true test still lay ahead.

After that, the three of them chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Lu Yuan then used the Investiture Edict to confer titles upon another group of people, bestowing them the benefits of Providence.

The current Celestial Court had basically gathered the strongest group of people in this world. There were also more and more who advanced into the Sage Realm.

However, compared to some Top 100 Starfields, their foundation was still lacking. Just as had been said before, they had truly had too little time.

But that was fine. So long as they could get through this crisis, the Milky Way Starfield would inevitably rise completely in the future.

Time passed, bit by bit. During this period, all living beings on Earth, whether mutated beasts, Awakened, or ordinary creatures, seemed to develop an indescribable feeling.

It was as though this world was about to lose some form of protection. Everyone felt a hollow emptiness in their hearts, and the famous mountains and great rivers also stopped changing.

An indescribable atmosphere clouded over everyone.

Ordinary people did not know what had happened, nor did they pay much attention. They all knew that with King Lu in this world, no matter what crisis arose, it would ultimately be resolved.

However, the mutated beasts and Awakened all understood very clearly. The power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth was about to disappear completely. From this point on, if they wanted to maintain the current situation, they would have to rely on themselves.

No one knew what would happen once the powerful beings among the Outer Cosmos lifeforms could descend without obstruction, nor how chaotic the situation would become. Fortunately, this world had the Celestial Court.

Some people finally came to understand that King Lu had very likely established the Celestial Court for the sake of this very day.

But could they truly rely on the strength of a single starfield to resist the entire starry cosmos?

No one knew. No one could be certain. No matter what, however, what had to be faced must be faced.

More time passed.

Rumble!

One day, a violent rumbling suddenly rang out across the firmament. Strangely, however, there was no trace of lightning.

It was clearly a bright, cloudless day, yet it gave people an extremely oppressive feeling, leaving them terribly uncomfortable.

Of course, the upper echelon of the Celestial Court understood very well that this was because, beyond Earth, many Outer Cosmos lifeforms and powerful experts were watching like tigers stalking their prey. As the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth continued to weaken, it could no longer isolate the aura those people gave off.

It was also on this day that Lu Yuan and the others gathered together. There were also the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Spirit Monkey, Yinglong, and the rest.

They stood atop Jade Emperor Peak on Mount Tai and looked up at the firmament.

Lu Yuan, in particular, seemed able to see those powerful experts in the Outer Cosmos through an immeasurable distance with his eyes. He murmured, "Is it finally about to begin?"

Rumble!

Another violent rumble emerged.

Beyond Earth, in the starry cosmos, the powerful experts of the various Outer Cosmos races all opened their eyes.

They saw that the mysterious power shrouding Earth, after being eroded through endless years, was finally unable to hold on any longer.

It completely dissipated.
