Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 341. Settle It Once and for All, Eliminate Future Trouble, Seeking a Breakthrough to the Great Sage Realm

As long as Lu Yuan could be killed, it was good news for everyone from the Outer Cosmos.

The current situation had been upheld by him alone from the very beginning. Once he died, this world would be theirs to control as they pleased. Naturally, the Outer Cosmos beings were overjoyed.

But when the people of the Celestial Court heard the news, every one of them grew troubled, especially Zhu Qingyu and the others. Although Lu Yuan had shown great confidence before, things felt different once they were really happening.

After all, the enemy was now preparing to come knocking at their door. On top of that, it was the joint alliance of the Eternals and the Ji Clan.

Both were top-ten powers among the top hundred starfields, and were overwhelmingly strong in both foundation and every other aspect.

More importantly, there were even signs that Great Sages would make a move this time.

Naturally, they were worried.

Even though King Lu had resolved one great crisis after another by himself in the past, this time was different.

The Outer Cosmos beings already had a clear understanding of Lu Yuan’s strength, yet they still chose to act this way. That meant they were bound to have numerous backup plans. If anything went wrong, the entire Celestial Court might lose the pillar holding it up.

Yet even so, no one in the Celestial Court showed the slightest fear. All of them knew that the Outer Cosmos beings were a threat.

Sooner or later, they would strike at this world. It was only a matter of time. In the eyes of those beings, King Lu was undoubtedly a thorn in the flesh and a nail in the eye.

It was just that the inevitable had come a little earlier.

At this point, there was no use thinking too much. The only thing they could do was figure out how to withstand the alliance of the Outer Cosmos beings.

In any case, this was not the first time, and this time, they naturally had experience from before.

Lu Yuan was fully aware of all this, and he did not stop them.

In the past, whenever anything happened, he had held the line alone. The people of the Celestial Court, and indeed everyone else, had been protected well.

But things were different now. Lu Yuan did not want that state of affairs to continue forever. Eventually, one day, the Celestial Court would have to face every crisis on its own. That would be especially true if he were no longer around.

It was not a bad thing for them to begin adapting in advance.

Of course, with the Eternals leading the charge and the Ji Clan involved as well, this was not something the current Celestial Court could resolve.

Even Lu Yuan himself found the alliance of such forces extremely troublesome to deal with.

However, he had allies of his own.

So after hearing the news, he went straight to find Jiang Ningxian.

”You mean that when the various races come again, you’ll need the power of my Jiang Clan?” Jiang Ningxian looked somewhat puzzled and surprised.

In her eyes, Lu Yuan had always disliked relying on others. He believed only in his own strength. Yet now, he had come to her of his own accord and said he needed the Jiang Clan’s support.

After knowing him for so long, this was a first.

”Yes.”

Lu Yuan nodded. ”All this time, the various Outer Cosmos races have been deeply covetous of this world. They keep provoking us again and again. Frankly, I’m getting tired of it. As time goes on, Earth’s transformation will only grow stronger.

”When that happens, there will be more and more things to deal with. It’s a waste of time if I have to keep spending my energy on this.”

There was one more thing he did not say aloud.

If he wanted to settle this once and for all, then he would have to rely on the Jiang Clan’s strength.

As long as it succeeded, he would feel much more at ease when the time came for him to leave.

Yes. While cultivating and evolving on Earth certainly offered many benefits, the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth still remained. Outside powerhouses could not descend freely, and those within were also subject to restrictions.

Take Lu Yuan himself, for example. No matter what, he could only reach the Great Sage Realm here.

But if he left Earth, things would be different. Perhaps the sea would be wide and the sky vast enough for him to soar. With the foundations he now possessed, even stepping into the Immortal Realm would be no problem at all.

Besides, leaving Earth and walking the starfields was a means for him to hone himself too.

”I understand now. As long as my Jiang Clan makes a move, they’ll know there is an alliance between us. Even if they still want to act recklessly, they’ll have to think twice.” Jiang Ningxian nodded.

She knew what Lu Yuan was thinking. He simply did not want this kind of thing repeating itself endlessly. It truly was very much a waste of energy.

Also, the Jiang Clan was not far from the Milky Way Starfield now, and many of its experts would soon descend. At a time like this, openly displaying a united front with the Celestial Court really could make some people think twice.

At that thought, Jiang Ningxian spoke again. ”Alright. That won’t be a problem. When the time comes, both Haokong and I will appear.”

One was the Saintess, the other the Holy Son. Their status spoke for itself. The moment they appeared, it would already represent a clear stance.

But at that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly smiled again. ”Of course, before that, some warnings are still necessary.”

Since those people insisted on provoking him, how could he not give them a lesson?

It was not that he wanted to kill.

It was simply that some people insisted on coming to him.

Lu Yuan had already killed many, but it failed to cause much deterrence. His enemies were not the sort that could be wiped out once and for all, yet if enough of them died, it would inevitably change the situation at least. Somewhat.

”Sure. That’s not a problem either.”

Jiang Ningxian naturally had nothing more to say. She had always stood on the side of the Celestial Court and Lu Yuan.

She knew very well just how much those Outer Cosmos beings had done throughout all this.

They kept provoking the people on Earth. They kept taking the initiative to attack. Under such circumstances, they really needed to be taught a lesson.

After that, the two exchanged a few more words, then parted ways and quietly waited for the arrival of the Outer Cosmos beings.

During this time, Lu Yuan also took some actions.

After a period of adaption and cultivation, he had long since reached the peak of the Lesser Sage Realm.

Just one more step, and he would break through into the Great Sage Realm, the final stage of the Sage Realm.

Although there were still bottlenecks and barriers, breaking through them would not be especially difficult for Lu Yuan.

The only problem was Earth itself. The power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth still remained, so breaking through here was much more difficult for him, unless he waited for further unsealing.

But if he waited, it would very likely slow down the pace of his cultivation and evolution.

”Neverminnd. I’ll use this time window to break through into the Great Sage Realm as well.”

After giving it some thought, Lu Yuan felt it was necessary to fully reveal his strength. From what he had observed, there did not seem to be any Immortal-level existence beyond Earth for the time being.

In that case, why not wait until he broke through into the Great Sage Realm, and then make one overwhelming move once and for all?

They kept coming for him again and again, and each time, he had no choice but to deal with them. No one could tolerate that indefinitely.

That was exactly the state Lu Yuan was in now, so his thoughts were rather straightforward.

Why not use this chance to settle everything at once, whether those people had already descended or not?

The Great Sage Realm was not considered the very peak of combat power but one had to remember that Lu Yuan had always been invincible within his realm.

As long as no Immortal-level beings appeared, then even beneath the starry cosmos... he remained invincible!
