Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

The Celestial Court was an ancient name; it did not represent any single individual, but rather was an exclusive symbol of the Milky Way Starfield.

A long, long time ago, these two words had once shone brightly across the starfields.

The foundation of a single organization alone elevated an entire starfield into the top ten across the whole universe.

It was even capable of contending for first place. One must know that there had never been an official ranking among the top ten starfields.

However, back in that era, if one were forced to choose the top starfield, many would have selected the Milky Way Starfield.

The reason was simple—the Celestial Court.

Countless formidable experts belonged to the Celestial Court. Above them all, there was also the Human Soverign—Celestial Emperor—a peerless powerhouse. He traversed the eight wildernesses, swept through every domain, and cast his radiance across the world.

Every synonym of invincibility could be used to describe the Celestial Emperor without exaggeration.

And though only very few had ever acquired the title of the Celestial Emperor, without exception, all of them had arisen from the Milky Way Starfield.

Now, when the Outer Cosmos beings heard those two words once again, their hearts began to grow heavy.

It was true that the Milky Way Starfield lay dormant for a very long time, having been sealed away for countless years. So much so that during this period, most Outer Cosmos beings had nearly forgotten the starfield’s former glory.

Yet, upon hearing the name, memories began to surface.

Could this human, Lu Yuan, really rebuild the Celestial Court once again?

However, that thought merely surfaced for a fraction of a second.

Because they felt that Lu Yuan was still too young. Compared to the Rankers and prodigies of the powerful starfields, the gap was still vast.

Even though Lu Yuan had managed to slay a Sage, those crowned as Holy Sons and Saintesses could also accomplish the same feat under similar conditions. Some could even directly challenge and slaughter Sages at their full might.

Of course, they could not deny the fact that if Lu Yuan were to continue on the path of evolution, his future achievements would be terrifying.

”Seems like we’ll have to lie low for the time being.”

”With someone like that in the Milky Way Starfield, things are really difficult.”

”Yes. But troublesome matters can be left to those stronger than us. We don’t need much. Hopefully, when the Great Age descends upon us, we can reap some benefits to maintain our starfield’s ranking.”

In outer space, the significant figures of each race commented. Each of them was at least a Void Sage.

They had also brought along their race’s Rankers.

The original intention had been to let the younger generation acquire some of Earth’s resources to advance even further in evolution.

Yet, with Lu Yuan in the picture now, all plans would need to take a rain check. Who knew when he would suddenly erupt into action?

Each and every Ranker was of paramount importance. There was no way the higher-ups would casually place their clan’s Ranker in danger. What if something were to happen?

As such, every race shared one simple thought, which was to wait for the arrival of truly powerful forces from other starfields.

As long as they could claim a modest share of the fortune on Earth, that would be sufficient.

Moreover, as time passed, the protection offered by the Separation of Heaven and Earth would eventually fade away.

When that moment arrived, Sages would be able to descend with their full might.

Now, all that they had to do was to wait. And the wait would not be long.

The top figures of the other Outer Cosmos races had already received news that forces from the Eternal Starfield, Ziwei Starfield, Desolate Flame Starfield, and others were already on their way.

It would not take much longer before they reached the Milky Way Starfield and descended.

They just had to seize the right moment.

As such, after the curtain fell on Lu Yuan’s battle with the three Sages, those Outer Cosmos beings who had already descended received orders and went completely quiet.

Even when they sought out inheritances or opportunities, they acted with extreme restraint and tried their utmost to avoid conflict with the natives of Earth.

Once again, Earth enjoyed a brief period of peace.

Meanwhile, the official authorities took advantage of this window to recruit more Awakened with potential and sent them into the Aurora Academy branches across the supercities. From there, they would select the most outstanding to be sent to the Mount Tai Trials Academy for further training.

Those who then meet the requirements would then have a chance to enter the Celestial Court.

Everyone knew that the situation ahead would only grow more severe, and they had to make good use of the current brief window of respite.

At the same time, the Peacock King led efforts to persuade other beast kings to join the Celestial Court as well.

Humans and beasts alike knew that to stand against those outer space beings, every possible method had to be utilized to strengthen themselves. After all, time was running short.

And so the days passed, one after another.

Back at Mount Tai Trials Academy, Lu Yuan had already fully healed his injuries.

At the same time, he had also gathered various spiritual fruits and herbs and placed them into the Meridian Heavenmend Furnace for refinement.

Now, such resources were in abundance on Earth. Though their individual effects were not particularly significant to him, quantity could still give rise to qualitative change.

One spiritual fruit might not do much. But what about a hundred? Or even ten thousand?

After two awakenings, Earth lacked nothing more than such things.

In fact, Zhu Qingyu and the others were also cultivating using vast amounts of resources at this very moment.

With the Daozang Visualization Method that Lu Yuan had given earlier, coupled with the guidance of the sect masters from the Three Immortal Islands, their progress was astonishingly fast.

However, during the training process, Lu Yuan had also repeatedly warned them not to place all their hopes in resources alone. To become truly strong, one still had to rely on oneself.

After all, not everyone possessed a foundation as unfathomably deep as his.

The group took his words to heart and devoted themself earnestly to their training.

At this moment, Lu Yuan sat in meditation within his room.

Golden vital qi surged and pulsed continuously from his form.

Within him, his five viscera and six bowels thundered ceaselessly.

After fully healing his injuries, he used the Meridian Heavenmend Furnace to refine a large number of pills. He then swallowed them all in one go.

He had only one purpose—to divinize all his internal organs, other than his heart, in a single sweep.

Taking it step by step was far too much of a hassle. Considering how deep his foundation ran, there was no need for such caution. He might as well do it all together.

Truly, just as Lu Yuan expected, it was a tedious process that demanded an insane amount of time.

Yet, his foundation simply ran too deep.

In just less than three months of closed-door cultivation, Lu Yuan had successfully completed the divinization of all his internal organs.

Although he had yet to break through to the next realm, his combat power underwent a tremendous change.

He could now manifest thirty-nine grotto-heavens using the Primordial Dragon Breathing Technique instead of the previous twenty-eight.

In other words, his combat power had increased by elevenfold.

Now that his internal organs had all been divinized, the next step was to enter the Sage Realm.

Sage Realm...that requires vast energy for evolution, and also comprehension of the world at large. It involves touching upon power from an entirely different plane. I should really focus on the visualization method from now on.

Upon sensing the changes within himself, a faint smile surfaced on Lu Yuan’s face as he considered his next move.

Visualization methods were a crucial component of one’s evolution. Especially in the later stages, the lack of a visualization method meant that it was impossible to become a true powerhouse.

And yet, in his possession was the Supreme Visualization Method, capable of visualizing the cosmos itself.

Coupled with the talent amplification bestowed by the ancient Bodhi Tree, reaching the Sage Realm might be exceedingly difficult for others, but for Lu Yuan, it was relatively easy.

The next step—becoming a Sage!
