Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Terrifying auras swept across the wilderness as formidable beings appeared in the firmament one after another. Every single one of these formidable beings was a Sage at the very least. All of them were also from the Outer Cosmos.

Soon, they numbered well over ten thousand. The amalgamation of their auras made the skies themselves tremble. This was what it meant to be a Sage. Upon becoming a Sage, one commanded a terrifying presence that demanded attention.

Moreover, there were Immortals among them. The Immortals walked through the air, seemingly looking down on every living being beneath them. However, the majority of them remained in the periphery of Mount Emei. None of them rushed straight into the heart of Mount Emei.

The scene looked calm for now, but everyone here knew that those daring enough to make a move first would become everyone’s target.

The Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token was at stake, after all.

There was another reason they held back, and it was the fact that the Eternals and the Ji Clan also had their eyes on the same target as them. Hence, everyone was waiting patiently for the main players. By now, the same tacit understanding had settled in everyone’s heart.

They decided to wait for the Ji Clan and the Eternals. They weren’t really worried about what the others were going to do during the wait.

Rumble!

Just then, loud rumbling noises echoed as dozens of figures appeared at the same time. All of them were Immortals, and they were from the top ten starfields.

”I knew it. The top ten starfields won’t let this opportunity slip past them. Getting the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token is going to be really hard now,” someone said. They knew that if a battle were to break out here, it would be quite the show. The myriad clans and races across the universe would likely become participants of that show.

The more chaotic things became, the better their chances of getting the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token. After all, it was always easier to fish in chummed waters.

Rumble!

Soon, the Eternals and the Ji Clan finally appeared. The two clans had come together with Sages and Grotto-Heaven Immortals on a par with the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor and his peers.

It was fair to say that they had gathered every single person whom they had brought down with them to Earth. They had tracked down the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token first, and they were the first ones to make a plan about obtaining it.

Unfortunately, news of their plan had leaked, and now, the entire universe knew what they were about to do. Still, they believed nothing had changed. None of the ragtag bunch here mattered, as the Ji Clan and the Eternals had joined hands.

The moment they arrived, the Ji Clan and the Eternals immediately unleashed their power. Powerful auras rushed out of them like a deluge, sweeping across the lands, including Mount Emei itself, which faintly trembled beneath their presence.

The Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor stepped forward. He swept his gaze over the beings from the Outer Cosmos and said, ”I know all sorts of thoughts must be running through your heads right now, including plans on how you can steal the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token from us.

”But I’d advise you to drop the idea. The Ji Clan and the Eternals have already joined forces. If any of you dare to stir up trouble, you’ll face my wrath. I’m serious.”

”Remember what I said,” he added.

With that, the Eternals and the members of the Ji Clan stepped forward together. Their mighty auras merged, sweeping across the vast wilderness. Among them were Immortals, Sages, and Grotto-Heaven Immortals. If they were to attack at once, it would be like facing a natural disaster.

To make matters worse, the two clans had united, making them even more terrifying.

As for why the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor had bothered to speak up, it was all because he wanted to deter some of them from doing anything. That way, things would become much easier for them to handle.

Sure enough, the beings from the Outer Cosmos exchanged glances. They knew what it meant to fight the Ji Clan and the Eternals for the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token. It meant attracting the fury of both clans, and neither would hold back against them.

The two clans were so formidable that any one of those they had brought with them here could easily deal with the outsiders here.

After all, the Ji Clan and the Eternals were one of the top ten races and clans across the universe, and their foundations ran deep. No one would dare to offend them casually.

The words of the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor made many figures step backward.

Just then, an exceedingly calm voice echoed. ”That’s some loud barking. We still don’t know whether there’s even a Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token on Mount Emei, but even if there’s a token here, it has no owner, and ownerless objects will belong to those capable enough to take possession of them.

”Nothing has ever been the property of the Eternals or the Ji Clan from the very beginning. In other words, it cannot be stolen from you.”

The voice sounded so calm that it made everyone believe that the speaker was unafraid of the Ji Clan and the Eternals. Everyone present turned toward the speaker, and they saw a line of figures in the distance. The one at the helm was none other than Lu Yuan. He stood proudly in midair, hands clasped behind his back.

The aura he emitted was nothing special, but despite facing the Ji Clan and the Eternals at the same time, he remained unyielding.

Lu Yuan’s words in particular brought all the beings from the Outer Cosmos present to their senses. They realized that it was the entire universe versus the formidable top ten starfields. In other words, they had never been alone here.

The Eternals, the Ji Clan, the Jiang Clan, and Lu Yuan. Overall, four forces had come to Mount Emei to contend for the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token. Even though two of the four forces had joined hands, they couldn’t possibly deal with everyone present here, especially if everyone else jumped into the fray.

They could definitely face those two clans. With that realization, the eyes of those present were no longer as timid as before. Lu Yuan was right. The Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token would belong to those capable enough to take possession of it, and they definitely stood a chance at becoming its owner.

”Lu Yuan, you’ve done it again!” the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor roared, glaring at Lu Yuan. ”I’ve yet to settle the score with you for our Holy Son’s death. I wanted to let you be for now, but who could have thought that you’d come looking for trouble on your own?

”Do you really think the Ji Clan can be pushed around as you please? Our true powerhouses aren’t even here yet!”

Deep down, he truly hated Lu Yuan, as the latter had killed their Holy Son right before his eyes. As a result, the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor had to take all the blame for it.

The members of the Ji Clan behind the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor glared at Lu Yuan while unleashing their fierce killing intent at him. The Eternals were no different. Their Holy Son was killed by the man standing before them, and the feud between them had become irreconcilable.

The Eternals and the members of the Ji Clan had been quietly suppressing their fury toward the deaths of their Holy Sons this entire time, but the moment they clapped their eyes on Lu Yuan, their killing intent burst out at the same time!
