Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

To the Ji Clan and the Eternals, Lu Yuan’s appearance was a variable.

And this man was indeed far too arrogant. He had killed their clansmen.

The two forces had never suffered such humiliation before. They had clearly taken a loss, yet for the time being, they had no way to regain face.

This was especially true for the Eternals. When it came to such matters, they had always repaid every slight. Even when outsiders obtained divine gold from their starfield, they would mobilize in force to demand it back.

Now their people had been killed, yet they could not even act.

They were clearly powerful, but had to lie low for the time being. The Eternals could not have felt more stifled.

Fortunately, this would not continue for too long.

Lu Yuan would inevitably become a great threat in the future. Once the plan was more or less complete, they would be able to act. At that time, they would make him repay everything a thousandfold, a hundredfold.

”Has there been any movement from the Jiang Clan?” a powerful expert of the Eternals suddenly asked.

The Milky Way Starfield was nothing. They would not place the Celestial Court in their eyes either.

Only Lu Yuan was worth some attention. The others were not worth caring about at all.

They could not affect the situation in any meaningful way. That so-called Celestial Court had not produced a single Immortal all this time. If they casually sent out a Grotto-Heaven Immortal, it could be wiped out completely.

That was the difference in foundation.

But the Jiang Clan was different. As one of the top-ten starfields, it was powerful. It also had a Starfield Lord, so they had to pay close attention.

”That Starfield Lord from the Jiang Clan has already been injured and will find it difficult to recover in the short term. The Jiang Clan is treating this as a grave threat, and the clan’s foundation remains in the Desolate Flame Starfield. For now, they will not affect our plan,” the Ji Clan expert replied.

If the Jiang Clan had methods to gather information, then naturally, they had their own as well.

As long as the Jiang Clan’s trump cards did not emerge for the time being, there would be no issue. It would also be simpler to deal with the Celestial Court afterward.

”We still need to be careful.” The Eternals expert shook his head, then continued, ”He is a Starfield Lord, a Supreme Immortal. He is too strong. Even if he is injured, he will still be very dangerous if he truly becomes angry.”

The top experts in the entire universe were not so easy to ignore. Also, the Starfield Lords of their two forces would find it difficult to free themselves for now, so they had to be cautious.

The Ji Clan expert nodded, naturally agreeing with this. ”That is why our plan must be carried out quickly.”

Afterward, the two ceased the conversation and each went about their work. The plan between the two clans had existed for a very long time. They simply had no way to implement it before.

Now, the timing had arrived.

Was the great change in the Milky Way Starfield not also a change in the universe?

To the two clans, this was a tremendous opportunity.

As the warship drew closer, changes also began occurring on Earth. These were not changes to the mountains and rivers, but shifts among the various forces.

Because the Eternals and the Ji Clan had taken the initiative to act, some Outer Cosmos beings chose to ally with them.

Everyone knew that the two forces were making a major move. Out of fear for what might come, the various races felt that as long as they united, nothing should happen to them.

Meanwhile, the Jiang Clan remained the same as before, as though it did not know about any of this.

Mount Tai, inside a courtyard.

Rumble!

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in his room. Streams of powerful vital qi surged around him, and wisps of brilliant light continued spreading outward.

The pressure he emitted was stronger than before, as though it had reached some kind of limit.

Very soon, he opened his eyes, and traces of helplessness appeared within them. ”Sure enough, even after finding the path and touching that barrier, breaking into the Creation Immortal Realm is still difficult.”

Previously, Lu Yuan had thought that after understanding certain things, cultivation would become much easier, and that he would break through in one go to reach a higher level.

But reality differed from imagination. Cultivation and evolution had indeed become easier than before. The key problem was that actually breaking through was still difficult.

At least for now, no matter how Lu Yuan tried, he could not do it.

So I still have to proceed step by step?

He felt helpless. Then he rose and went outside.

Just then, Yinglong happened to descend from Jade Emperor Peak.

”I have found the path to breaking into the Immortal Realm. I want to leave and go to the Sky Dragon Starfield.”

Yinglong did not waste words. Its gaze was very serious. ”Thank you for your care during this time.”

Back then, when it had been hunted down, it had escaped danger precisely because of the person before it.

Now Mount Tai had also provided it with an excellent cultivation environment, allowing it to cultivate without worrying about the dangers outside.

For Yinglong, this was a kindness worth remembering.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled and said softly, ”There is no need for that. You have also done a great deal.”

”It is not enough.” Yinglong shook its head, then continued, ”I have two purposes in going to the Sky Dragon Starfield. First, I want to reach a higher realm. Second, I will persuade my clansmen to help the Milky Way Starfield.”

It knew very well that the Milky Way Starfield’s current situation had been maintained by Lu Yuan alone.

And the dragon race had a deep connection to this world. Calling it their homeland was not too much.

Thus, Yinglong felt that Lu Yuan could not be allowed to carry everything alone.

Under such circumstances, it had to find a way to help from the side. Its own strength was limited, but behind it stood the dragon race, or even the entire Sky Dragon Starfield.

This was also the reason it was leaving.

”Many thanks,” Lu Yuan replied at once.

Although he had always believed in his own strength and had never thought of entrusting major matters to outsiders, he still had to accept Yinglong’s goodwill.

”Good. Then I... will go.” Yinglong nodded and said nothing more.

It transformed back into its original form. A powerful aura spread from its body, and then it soared straight into the sky.

Before long, it vanished into the firmament and entered the starry sky.

Yinglong was already at the peak of the Great Sage Realm. Crossing the universe was naturally not a problem.

It also possessed inherited memories and knew where the Sky Dragon Starfield was located, so Lu Yuan did not need to worry.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled. He did not expect Yinglong to achieve anything concrete. But if they could gain the assistance of the Sky Dragon Starfield, that would naturally be even better.

Without thinking further, he headed to Jade Emperor Peak on Mount Tai.

This was where the beast kings gathered. The Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Spirit Monkey, the Peacock King, and the others had mostly gathered here.

Their true names had also been placed on the Investiture Edict, so they could be considered part of the Celestial Court’s strength.

At the same time, the beast kings’ battle prowess could not be underestimated. They could also summon all the mutated beasts of this world to join the battle.

Lu Yuan had come today because he wanted to confer titles upon some mutated beasts once more.
