Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Everyone knew there would be a great battle.

Everyone knew this battle would change the situation.

But those without sufficient strength did not dare witness it with their own eyes. They were very clear that in the eyes of Immortals, they amounted to little more than dust. If they were caught in the aftermath, that would be truly tragic. It was better to stay farther away and wait for the situation to develop.

Truth be told, many people shared the same thought. In short, this matter did not have much to do with them. At most, after a winner emerged, they would adjust their plans accordingly.

So for now, they were all waiting to see what would happen three days later.

Time continued to pass, and very soon, the day set by the two great forces arrived.

On this day, everyone with somewhat stronger strength leapt into the high sky. Although they were still far from Mount Tai, if a great battle erupted, they would certainly be able to sense it.

Some Immortals chose to draw near, wanting to receive news as soon as possible.

Everyone knew this battle was far from simple. It had been initiated by two of the top-ten clans, and its impact was too great. No one chose to ignore it at a time like this.

At the same time, on Mount Tai, all the members of the Celestial Court had gathered. Their numbers were vast, reaching the legendary one hundred thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

”This time truly concerns the life and death of our Celestial Court.”

”The two top forces beneath the starry cosmos making a move is indeed extraordinary.”

”Only if we get through this can we be considered to have established a foothold.”

Zhu Qingyu and the other younger-generation figures looked toward the firmament and spoke one after another. They would be lying if they claimed to be not nervous. Everyone knew that actual Immortals would act this time, and these people were top experts even across the entire universe.

And how long had they cultivated and stepped on the path of evolution? If they compared themselves, the gap was enormous.

But nervousness was one thing. Every person still stood firmly in place. If crisis came, they would face it together.

On the other side, the Jiang Clan members had also emerged. There were several hundred of them. They were almost all in the Sage Realm. There were also Great Sages, and even Immortal Realm existences. Jiang Huanyun stood at their head, with Jiang Haokong beside him as he gave instructions.

”Although those Celestial Court members have some strength, the crisis they will face this time is unprecedented. If the Eternals and the Ji Clan act recklessly, you must remember this: even if you have to pay a great price, you must protect them.

”These people are the future backbone of the Milky Way Starfield. They are the flesh and blood of our homeland. Do you understand?”

Jiang Huanyun spoke with a serious tone. After all, even for someone like him, he could not guarantee that he would protect everyone in the coming great battle. The Jiang Clan had continuously sent people down for precisely this reason.

”Fifth Ancestor, don’t worry. I will lead these people, and there will not be any problems.” Jiang Haokong spoke. He had now reached the Undying Immortal Realm as well, and with his powerful talent and top-tier battle prowess, if he personally acted, no one could disregard him. He had also taken on the primary task of protecting the Celestial Court members.

”Mm.” Jiang Huanyun nodded. This junior Holy Son was extremely strong, even if he was rather arrogant. In many matters, as long as he decided on doing it, he would rarely disappoint.

So on this point, Jiang Huanyun was still assured. Then, he asked, ”Right, where is your sister?”

If the two siblings acted together, then they could truly ensure nothing went wrong.

”She went to find Lu Yuan. She should be here soon.” Jiang Haokong replied, not feeling that there was anything wrong.

However, after Jiang Huanyun heard this, he sank into thought and muttered to himself, ”Those two really are rather well matched.”

Jiang Ningxian was a favored daughter of heaven, but was Lu Yuan not a favored son of heaven as well? In his heart, Jiang Huanyun was actually very satisfied with Lu Yuan. At the very least, Lu Yuan was stronger than the so-called Holy Sons of some major clans.

”Ah? Fifth Ancestor, what did you say?” Beside him, Jiang Haokong spoke, somewhat puzzled.

But Jiang Huanyun had no intention of paying him any mind. After relaying his instructions, he said nothing more and took a step forward, disappearing directly from where he stood.

No one knew when the Eternals and the Ji Clan would appear. There could be no carelessness.

Meanwhile, inside a courtyard in the trials academy, Jiang Ningxian sat upright. From time to time, she poured herself a cup of tea, sitting beneath a tree and drinking alone.

Whether in appearance or bearing, she was truly too outstanding. At that moment, she seemed even more like a celestial maiden descended into the mortal world. Very soon, Jiang Ningxian suddenly stopped moving, rose to her feet, and looked behind her with a smile on her face.

There, Lu Yuan slowly walked out. He wore simple clothes, and there was not the slightest aura surging around him. He looked like an ordinary man without any power at all.

”Fully integrated, able to withdraw and release your aura at will. It seems you have improved again,” Jiang Ningxian said. With her perception, she could naturally see the changes in him immediately.

”I suppose so. I merely gained some insight.” Lu Yuan smiled and did not deny it.

In truth, his progress during this period had exceeded imagination. In a few more days, he might be able to directly reach the peak of Undying Immortal.

At that time, he would have the opportunity to advance toward Grotto-Heaven Immortal.

How long had it been since he broke into the Immortal Realm? Even Lu Yuan himself felt somewhat dazed at this moment.

”How is it? What thoughts do you have about this battle?” Jiang Ningxian had no intention of teasing him. Her gaze became serious.

”Still the same as before. No matter who it is, I will fight them,” Lu Yuan said.

A portion of the Providence of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons had already augmented him. It could be said that he now had even more trump cards in hand. Unless the two great forces came with their full strength, he felt not the slightest fear.

”Good.” Jiang Ningxian nodded, then continued, ”Then let’s go. I believe they will arrive soon.”

Without exchanging any more words, they walked side by side toward Jade Emperor Peak on Mount Tai.

They had already discussed it before. If the two great forces made a move, then they would meet the battle atop Jade Emperor Peak on Mount Tai.

There was no other reason. The ruins of a heavenly palace lay there. Every corner contained special imprints. Once a great battle broke out, they could reduce the damage to the land to the greatest extent. Of course, if there really was no other way, they could only ascend to the skies and fight.

After reaching the Immortal Realm, one’s battle prowess became truly terrifying. A single strike could sweep away mountains and rivers, and Earth could endure such battles only because it was very special and belonged to the category of ancient stars. If it were any other star, an Immortal Realm existence making a move could directly destroy it.

Very soon, the two arrived where everyone had gathered. Without hesitation, they directly ascended Mount Tai.

At the same time, in the firmament, powerful auras were continuously approaching. All were at the Void Sage Realm and above, making them quite a fine force as well.

However, those auras did not belong to the human race, but to mutated beasts. These were the Beast Kings summoned by the Peacock King and the others. At this crucial moment, they had come to lend a hand.
