Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Lu Yuan had always understood this clearly.

Just like the current situation that had formed on Earth, it was indeed largely because of him, but there were also people who supported him.

Elder Ji, Elder Yun, and the others had given him complete trust, allowing him to act freely in many matters.

That was why, no matter how the world changed, the ordinary people had still not suffered enormous disasters or casualties.

The five supercities could continue living in peace as they had before the mutation due to the protection of the Celestial Court members.

If he had been alone, accomplishing this would have been very difficult.

Therefore, even if a great enemy arrived in the future, if they could gather the strength of the entire universe, it would be a blessing for all living beings.

The two forces were continuously annexing all sides with extremely tyrannical methods. They could indeed gain a temporary advantage.

But what about afterward?

At that time, if the Celestial Court and the Jiang Clan acted together, they would inevitably receive much support.

That was the effect Lu Yuan wanted.

After planning all this, Lu Yuan had Jiang Haokong and the others take action. He also told them that if there was any news, they were to send it back immediately.

He naturally held deep trust toward the Holy Son of the Jiang Clan. But Lu Yuan was worried that Creation Immortals might make a move.

That would be very troublesome. If that happened, he would need to resolve it personally.

After sending out the instructions, Lu Yuan entered seclusion once more.

Of course, it was not closed-door seclusion. Someone could seek him out at any time, so he could immediately react if a crisis appeared.

Soon, the plan began with Jiang Haokong leading the members of the Celestial Court.

They did not choose to go to war with the people of the two forces. Instead, they acted under the banner of occupying renowned mountains and great rivers, just as they had done before.

They also warned the Eternals and the Ji Clan that the renowned mountains and great rivers under their command were not to be touched in the slightest.

Otherwise, it would be taken as provocation.

This was the first time the Celestial Court and the Jiang Clan had issued such domineering words.

It astonished many people.

Some beings immediately reacted that this might mean the Celestial Court and the Jiang Clan were about to act.

Thus, those who had previously worried about being annexed decided to seek refuge with the Celestial Court and the Jiang Clan, hoping to receive protection.

Compared to the two forces, the Celestial Court and the Jiang Clan would at least reason with them.

However, Jiang Haokong always remembered Lu Yuan’s instructions. He did not accept the surrender or cooperation proposed by the various sides.

Because there was no need.

From another perspective, anyone who had grievances against the two forces already had a common enemy. Whether they formally joined forces was not important.

After hearing this news, the Ji Clan and the Eternals first fell silent, then chose to continue expanding.

They paid Jiang Haokong no attention. Clearly, they had also prepared for conflict. This could not be avoided.

More importantly, the two forces no longer feared the Jiang Clan and the Celestial Court.

Because they had obtained the power provided by the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, their clansmen could hold their ground within the same realm.

Even if they were not the enemy’s match, they would be very difficult to kill.

They had that black blood.

After that, under both sides’ deliberate actions, conflict soon erupted.

However, the Ji Clan and the Eternals did not act themselves. Instead, they had the Celestial Race, the Nether Bull Clan, and others test the Celestial Court’s strength.

The answer was shocking. Those two races were now completely inferior to the Celestial Court. From beginning to end, they were crushed.

The present Celestial Court had long since become different from before in both foundation and strength.

With the Jiang Clan participating as well, they had no fear at all.

Thus, in less than a month, Jiang Haokong led the members of the Celestial Court and seized many renowned mountains and great rivers.

The name of the Celestial Court also spread far and resounding now.

Left with no other choice, the Eternals and the Ji Clan had to send their own clansmen to act, because this had affected their plan. With the black blood present, the upper echelons of both races believed they could stop the Celestial Court.

But to everyone’s surprise, they abruptly discovered that the people of the Celestial Court still seemed unstoppable.

Even when their own clansmen acted, some of their clansmen were injured and others died. Even the black blood seemed to have been wiped away, failing to exert its proper effect.

This news quickly reached the upper echelons of the two races.

”How is that possible?”

”The black blood suppresses the power of this world. How could it be defeated so easily?”

”That’s right. There must be a problem here. What exactly did the Celestial Court and the Jiang Clan do?”

The upper echelons of the Eternals and the Ji Clan gathered together. There were two Creation Immortals and several Grotto-Heaven Immortals among them.

Although they had not accepted the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons for the time being, they understood very well that with the blessing of the black blood, their clansmen should have been unstoppable.

When they had fought the races of other starfields before, everything had clearly gone smoothly.

What was happening now?

”I keep feeling that something is amiss here,” a Creation Immortal of the Ji Clan said with an extremely grave expression.

After accepting the black blood, such a result still occurred. It was difficult to believe. They knew the Celestial Court was strong, but its level was only comparable to starfields in the top hundred.

At most, because of the Jiang Clan’s support, its strength had risen by another degree. Even so, it should not have been able to ignore the effects of the black blood.

”Could it be... Lu Yuan’s doing again?” a Creation Immortal of the Eternals asked, his expression shifting.

Truth be told, none of the people present had ever met Lu Yuan. They had only heard his name. Because they had heard of him, they felt that his reputation was too great.

The experts the two races had sent out one after another had all been slain by him in the end. Even their Holy Sons had died at his hands.

”Perhaps... That really is possible.” Everyone nodded.

By now, no one dared underestimate Lu Yuan anymore. The two races in particular treated him as a true mortal threat.

Even now, the reason they had been so cautious while carrying out their plan was because they feared provoking a reaction from Lu Yuan and causing unnecessary trouble.

But from the looks of it, Lu Yuan already intended to act.

”Very well. Since he has come seeking, we will act and kill him,” a Grotto-Heaven Immortal of the Ji Clan said. He had long since been unable to restrain himself and continued, ”Two Creation Immortals, four Grotto-Heaven Immortals. I refuse to believe we cannot kill him!”

He felt that given the current situation, there was no need to continue enduring. Otherwise, the two races’ previous plan would sooner or later be ruined by Lu Yuan.

Under such circumstances, it would be better to act first. The people of the Eternals also nodded.

The two sides had already reached the point of irreconcilable enmity. There was no need for courtesy. There was no need to continue enduring. It would be better to settle it once and for all.

Once the threat of Lu Yuan was gone, it would mean eliminating a true mortal threat.

After that, whatever they wanted to do would no longer require caution.

The people of both races looked toward the two strongest Creation Immortals present, waiting for their decision.
