Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 340. Uniting the Races, Two Great Superpowers

The Eternals had descended once again. But unlike the other Outer Cosmos beings, their target was Mount Tai from the very start.

Each one of them exuded extraordinarily powerful aura since every single one of them had reached the Lesser Sage Realm.

From that alone, it was obvious that these members of the Eternals likely held extremely high status within their race.

The moment they appeared, some of the other Outer Cosmos races also began paying close attention, because everyone knew what had happened back at Yellow Mountain, in the Immortal Cave Secret Realm, where Lu Yuan had clashed with Yu Heng.

Yu Heng was one of the Eternals’ Rankers.

He had not held an especially high rank but was still considered one of the prodigies of the clan. Moreover, there were also two other Eternals with him then.

Yet, all three of them were buried forever within Yellow Mountain.

This was a grudge meant to be settled sooner or later.

In particular, many of the Outer Cosmos beings knew that the Eternals were not only powerful, but also extremely overbearing in the way they conducted themselves. If something happened to one of their own, they would definitely think of every possible way to retaliate. After all, this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

So when they learned that several members of the Eternals had descended, they all immediately understood.

Their target was Lu Yuan.

One after another, they chose to head over to Mount Tai and watch.

The Eternals were inherently blessed with incredibly powerful talent, and they rarely had rivals within the same realm. Now that several Lesser Sages had appeared, if a clash broke out between them and Lu Yuan, or even the so-called Celestial Court of Earth, then it was not necessarily bad news for the other Outer Cosmos beings.

Many of the Outer Cosmos beings harbored deep hatred toward Lu Yuan, but they had never been able to get rid of him.

Now, they were naturally delighted that the Eternals had taken the initiative to act. Some of them even believed that if the Eternals still failed when the time came, then they themselves could lend a hand as well.

As such, Mount Tai once again became the center of attention.

Outer Cosmos beings, including some powerful figures among them, continued gathering there.

Strangely though, the Eternals were moving very slowly. They did not seem in any hurry at all, which left many puzzled.

”They’ve made their calculations well enough. They know that with their current strength, dealing with Lu Yuan, let alone erasing him, will be difficult. They need enough power for that. Moving slowly means they likely intend to join hands with the other races as well.”

When Ji Hongyu of the Ji Clan heard this, a faint smile immediately appeared on his face.

He had descended earlier than the Eternals, but his actions in recent days had been exceptionally low-key.

He had not taken the initiative to seize any famous mountains or great rivers either. Reason being, there was no need to rush.

The key matter at hand was to understand the exact changes that had taken place in this world.

Of course, more importantly, the Ji Clan was not invincible. The top ten races of the top hundred starfields were all gradually descending as well.

Right now, those people had yet to move. Most of them were still lying low for the time being. Under such circumstances, Ji Hongyu had more than enough patience to play the waiting game too.

Now that the Eternals had descended and their first move was to seek out Lu Yuan, he naturally understood their intention.

”Join hands with the other races?”

Standing at his side, Zhou Yunqiong looked puzzled and could not help saying, ”But I’ve heard that the Eternals are overbearing and tyrannical. Whenever they suffer a loss against anyone, they usually strike back directly. If they want to deal with Lu Yuan, there should be no need for them to join forces with anyone, right?”

After spending so much time with the Ji Clan and in the space beyond Earth, she had already come to understand many things, especially with regards to the Eternals.

Their reputation was simply too great. So when she heard that they intended to cooperate with the other races, she found it hard to believe.

”The Eternals are indeed overbearing and tyrannical, but they are not fools. They know that unless the truly powerful experts of their race can descend, dealing with Lu Yuan will be nearly impossible. But at the same time, they cannot leave the matter unresolved, or they would lose face.

”In that case, they may as well join forces with the other races that also want Lu Yuan dead.”

Ji Hongyu had already reached the Great Sage Realm. He was powerful, but he was also exceptional in every aspect, and especially so when it came to situation awareness and judgement.

Just like now, he had already seen through the Eternals’ intentions.

”Then should we make a move as well?” Zhou Yunqiong asked.

Ever since her descent, Zhou Yunqiong had thought of little besides revenge. Unfortunately, the time had not yet come, and with Ji Hongyu and the others urging her not to act rashly, all she could do was wait.

But now that the Eternals had made their move and were preparing to rally the various races, she could no longer restrain herself.

”There really hasn’t been much to do lately. If you want to go, then go.” Ji Hongyu thought for a moment, then finally nodded.

The Eternals had always done things in a relentless fashion, never stopping until they achieved their aim. If Lu Yuan could be eliminated, that would count as good news.

Since Zhou Yunqiong had always regarded this as a grudge that had to be avenged, if he did not let her have her way, it might be troublesome to explain to that powerful figure later.

Besides, with the Eternals standing in front, there naturally should not be any problem.

”Alright!”

A smile immediately spread across Zhou Yunqiong’s face. She had always wanted revenge, and now, at last, the opportunity had come.

A few more days passed.

News soon arrived that the Ji Clan had answered the Eternals’ call and was preparing to send people to Mount Tai alongside them.

The moment the news spread, nearly everyone was shaken. After all, these were two top-ten superpowers, and now they were joining forces against Lu Yuan.

This was unprecedented.

Though Lu Yuan had displayed overwhelming strength and methods before, he was going to face two superpowers now.

How strong would the Ji Clan and the Eternals be once they joined forces?

”This should have happened long ago. That human, Lu Yuan, has been obstructing our steps and ruining our plans. He must die.”

”Exactly! If this man continues to exist, everything afterward will become difficult.”

”Now that those two races have joined forces, I refuse to believe he can survive!”

After hearing the news, the Outer Cosmos beings were all thoroughly excited.

The reason was simple. Ever since descending upon this world, nearly all of them had been suppressed.

Some places clearly contained great blessed lands and opportunities, yet they still did not dare go there freely, and that was all because of Lu Yuan.

They understood clearly that as time passed, more and more opportunities would continue to appear.

What then? Were they supposed to continue being suppressed?

If that were the case, then what had been the point of crossing the vast space and coming all the way to the Milky Way Starfield in the first place?

Would not everything have been for nothing?

In the end, those Outer Cosmos beings also began drawing closer to the Eternals.

This was the second time since the previous gathering at Mount Tai that the Outer Cosmos beings had assembled in large numbers.

But unlike last time, two great superpowers had joined hands this time. Perhaps, there might even be a Great Sage who would make a move when the moment was right!

Everyone felt that even for the human Lu Yuan, this was an enormous crisis. If he was not fully prepared, or if he made even the slightest mistake, then a great calamity might befall him.

Every single one of those Outer Cosmos beings was filled with anticipation.
