Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

The Celestial Starfield Lord still stood in the void but his aura had already weakened to its lowest point. All the power within him had also receded. More precisely, it had been exhausted, and he could no longer use it.

That was right. In the battle just now, the Celestial Starfield Lord had reached his limit.

Although Lu Yuan had not formally broken through yet, his power had increased too much. With that and his powerful foundation, the Celestial Starfield Lord was naturally no match for him.

By now, victory and defeat had already been decided. With one more strike, everything would end.

”Your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations. I don’t feel aggrieved at losing to you,” the Celestial Starfield Lord said, his gaze already very calm.

By now, he had already realized his final ending and fully accepted it.

”That is because you were my whetstone,” Lu Yuan said in a calm tone.

Such words would indeed make someone unhappy, but Lu Yuan felt no need to care about that. He and the Celestials had long since become enemies. There was no need for courtesy.

Moreover, what he said was true. Without the Celestial Starfield Lord, it would have been impossible for him to grasp the Celestial Seat laws so quickly.

Lu Yuan knew that after this battle ended, if he entered seclusion again, he would have the chance to break through his current realm to reach the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm.

Therefore, what he said just now truly came from the heart.

”There is one matter I need to entrust to you. I hope you can agree.”

The Celestial Starfield Lord did not feel angry either. Besides, he had already reached his limit. Even if he wanted to do something, it was impossible. Thus, he could only say what was on his mind.

”I know what you want to say,” Lu Yuan said directly. ”You hope I can spare these clansmen of yours. You believe they did nothing wrong and want to leave the Celestials a spark, correct?”

This man was the Celestials’ Starfield Lord. In this situation, he would naturally consider his race. There was no need to guess.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the Celestial Starfield Lord was surprised. Eventually, he nodded and continued, ”I hope you can agree.” 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

He felt this was the final thing he could do. He did not think much about anything else.

However, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, ”Neither you or the Celestials will leave this place alive. After your death, I will kill all of these clansmen of yours.”

As soon as these words came out, the Celestial Starfield Lord’s expression changed drastically. Anger and hatred ignited in his eyes once more.

He looked at Lu Yuan and said, ”Why? My Celestial Race has no irreconcilable blood feud with you.”

Indeed, he could not understand why Lu Yuan wanted to exterminate them. Could he not even leave the Celestials a few embers? Did things have to go this far?

Lu Yuan’s gaze did not change. He merely said softly, ”When I came to the Thunderflash Starfield, I encountered several planets with life. Without exception, all their beings had died at the hands of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

”And the ones who committed those acts were your Celestials. Did those innocent beings have any grudge against the Celestials? When you chose to cooperate with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, you should have expected this result and accepted it.”

At this point, he looked at the man before him, his face turning solemn. ”For this alone, only one outcome awaits the Celestials now.”

These words left the Celestial Starfield Lord frozen.

From the very beginning, he had never regarded the other beings of the Thunderflash Starfield as lives. He had merely thought that since the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons needed them, he would offer them up.

Doing so brought many benefits to the Celestials.

So what if some beings died?

But the Celestial Starfield Lord had never expected that this very thought would lead the Celestials to the end of the road.

”Enough. I will not waste words with you,” Lu Yuan said and stepped forward.

Boom.

A powerful aura erupted from him instantly. His golden blood qi rippled out, and the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand hummed continuously.

He looked at the Celestial Starfield Lord before him, his gaze remaining steady.

Then he slashed out.

In an instant, sword intent surged out like a river. It seemed capable of cutting apart a star and contained extremely terrifying power.

Even at his peak, the Celestial Starfield Lord would have had to be careful against such a strike.

Now, he had already reached his limit, and the power within him was almost gone. Facing this strike, he had no way to respond. In the end, he could only close his eyes.

This was the only thing the Celestial Starfield Lord could do.

Soon, after all the light and sword intent dissipated, the Celestial Starfield Lord disappeared, as if he had never existed.

Lu Yuan still stood where he had been. His gaze did not change. He merely turned his eyes toward the Celestials not far away.

Were they innocent? No. They were not innocent. These Celestials had chosen betrayal.

They had also acted as accomplices. Under such circumstances, not a single one of them would die unjustly.

So in the next moment, Lu Yuan stepped down and appeared before the Celestials.

”You should have heard the conversation between your Starfield Lord and me just now. Now, you have two choices.” His voice was still calm, without any emotion audible within it.

After hearing that there were two different choices, hope appeared in the eyes of some Celestials.

They felt this was Lu Yuan giving them a chance to live. Otherwise, he would have attacked directly.

Although the Starfield Lord’s death had left them deeply grieved and furious, the matter was already settled. The most important thing now was to survive.

”Good. Tell us, what are the two choices?” one high-level Celestial asked.

The others beside him also fell silent, wanting to hear what Lu Yuan would say.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Lu Yuan smiled. But he wasted no words and answered directly. ”One choice is to rise up, fight me, then be killed by me one by one. The other choice is to stand where you are, and I will let you die a little more quickly.”

Yes.

Two choices, one ending. Both choices led to death.

Just as per the conversation between Lu Yuan and the Celestial Starfield Lord earlier, he had never planned to let these people go from the very beginning.

The so-called two choices were merely different ways for them to die.

When the Celestials present heard these words, every one of them was completely stunned. They had never imagined these were the two choices Lu Yuan was offering them.
