Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

”Both are beautiful.”

After Lu Yuan’s reply, silence descended once again.

However, Jiang Ningxian’s gaze slightly shifted. Then a blush surfaced on her pretty face, spreading all the way to her earlobes.

She had indeed only wanted to tease him and had not thought of anything else. But she had not expected Lu Yuan to answer her so directly, catching her completely off guard.

The two looked at each other, and neither spoke first.

Time seemed to freeze.

Soon, Jiang Ningxian reacted and changed the topic. ”Lu Yuan, guess why I stayed behind alone.”

She knew they could not let the silence continue. Otherwise, how were they supposed to wrap up the situation?

So the most important thing now was to quickly switch to talk about serious matters.

Lu Yuan returned her a faint smile before his expression grew serious. He looked at Jiang Ningxian and shook his head slightly.

She must have proper business, so he no longer joked around.

”I told you before that my father informed the other starfields about the two Starfield Lords, and in the end, the Sky Dragon Starfield decided to support us. Do you still remember?” Jiang Ningxian said.

Lu Yuan nodded, then replied, ”Has there been some progress?”

He naturally hoped that more experts would begin paying attention to this matter. Otherwise, once those two Starfield Lords were ready, no one would be able to stop them.

Those two now seemed to be in seclusion and were attempting to break through to a higher realm.

A realm that surpassed a Supreme Immortal.

Although he did not know how powerful they would be after that, one thing was certain: when that time came, no one would be able to stop the two Starfield Lords.

So when Jiang Ningxian brought this up, he naturally thought that more starfields had begun to take it seriously. If they could find the two Starfield Lords and take action, that would be even better.

However, Jiang Ningxian shook her head.

”It is not what you are thinking.”

Jiang Ningxian smiled and did not keep him in suspense. She continued, ”It is a Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token. The Starfield Lord of the Sky Dragon Starfield seems to have one in his hands. He previously heard my father mention matters concerning you.

”However, I do not know how much he heard specifically. But I am certain my father did not mention the ancient tokens. Yet in the end, for reasons unknown, that Starfield Lord took the initiative to say he wanted to offer the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token.”

Another Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token?

The moment these words were spoken, a look of doubt abruptly appeared on Lu Yuan’s face.

He did not understand why the Starfield Lord of the Sky Dragon Starfield would bring up a Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token.

Not many people knew of his situation. One was Jiang Ningxian, and the other was the Jiang Clan’s Starfield Lord.

Since the Jiang Clan Starfield Lord had not revealed anything about the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Tokens, then he most certainly had not done so.

As such, the progression of events were beyond his expectations.

”Aside from this, did the Starfield Lord of the Sky Dragon Starfield say anything else?” Lu Yuan asked.

If the Starfield Lord had said nothing else, then this was indeed strange.

Thinking carefully, perhaps that person, like the Jiang Clan Starfield Lord, had deduced it from various clues. That might be why he had ultimately chosen to take out the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token.

However, Lu Yuan did not dwell on it too much on his purpose.

Considering the status and strength of the Sky Dragon Starfield’s Starfield Lord, if he knew the function of the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token and had some purpose, there was no need to hide it.

As long as the Starfield Lord acted, Lu Yuan would not be his match at all. The gap was vast.

The Starfield Lord of the Sky Dragon Starfield was publicly acknowledged as the strongest among the Starfield Lords.

Yet now, he had chosen to take out a Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token. In a certain sense, this was an expression of goodwill.

Thus, what mattered most to Lu Yuan now was to ask clearly whether that Starfield Lord had said anything else.

”No.” Jiang Ningxian answered affirmatively, then continued, ”My father said he only took out the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token and asked him to pass it on. He did not say much about anything else.

”Afterward, my father decided to have someone bring the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token to the Milky Way Starfield. It should reach your hands soon.”

At first, she had felt that there was something strange about this matter, but in the end, she still did not discover anything. She also knew her father would not harm Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan nodded in understanding. However, the actions of the Sky Dragon Starfield’s Starfield Lord were indeed beyond his expectations.

”My father also brought you a message,” Jiang Ningxian said, her tone becoming extremely serious.

”He said that in the future, the situation of the entire universe will become extremely dangerous.

”Perhaps even someone like him will be unable to settle these problems. Therefore, a true supreme expert must appear. You can be said to be extremely important, and the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Tokens are the most important of all.”

These were Jiang Taiyu’s original words.

Hearing them, Lu Yuan first froze, then nodded.

Clearly, after the last time, Jiang Taiyu had obtained a great deal more information in the void beyond space. Otherwise, he would not have casually said such a thing.

From this, one could see that those powerhouses had already begun to foresee that a true tribulation would come in the future.

”I understand.” Lu Yuan nodded.

Then he said nothing more, because by now, saying anything more was useless.

The two forces had already acted.

The best plan now was to improve their strength while disrupting the enemy’s plans.

After that, the two chatted for a while longer, and Jiang Ningxian left.

Because they had already set down their plan.

Next, they had to continuously find ways to disrupt the plans of the two forces. Then they had to stop the descent of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, and they had to act as quickly as possible.

The matter of Lu Yuan slaying two Creation Immortals would certainly shake the Ji Clan and the Eternals.

At this point, the two forces would also fear that what they had been doing would be exposed and affect their later plans.

Under such circumstances, they would inevitably respond in all sorts of ways.

Therefore, the Celestial Court and Jiang Clan had to begin acting as quickly as possible.

Lu Yuan once again entered seclusion.

After reaching this realm, seclusion was of little use.

But he was different.

Lu Yuan had the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Tokens, and he also had the blessing of some unseen Providence. Each time he cultivated and evolved, his strength would increase.

In addition, his goal had always been to reach the highest peak, and especially so, before the crisis arrived.

Only true strength could resolve everything.

Creation Immortal was not the end. Celestial Seat Immortal was not the end either. Even Supreme Immortal was not.

Lu Yuan needed to continue moving forward, increasing his strength and realm.

The Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were drawing closer and closer.

He could not slack off.
