Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 563. Finally Succeeding, the Human Sovereign’s Power

That was right. At this moment, whether in appearance or in the aura radiating from him, Lu Yuan looked like an old man at death’s door.

Pale hair, a withered frame, and blood qi that had weakened to the extreme. Everything about him suggested that he might fall at any moment.

Moreover, none of this was merely superficial.

Lu Yuan could also clearly sense that the aura within him was extremely weak, and his power had been drained dry. Even now, he could not use it. None of it seemed fake.

But he still sat firmly where he was. His expression was calm, because to him, whether it was real or false no longer mattered. Since he had already reached this point, there was no need to think so much.

Thus, Lu Yuan calmly accepted everything now. He sensed the vitality within him draining away bit by bit, approaching its end.

Is it going to end? Such a thought surfaced in his heart. Was he unwilling? No. There was none of that. There was only regret. It seemed he still had not opened what the Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor had left behind.

Rumble.

But at that very moment, a roar sounded within the vast white space.

In the next instant, everything vanished.

Then a human figure slowly appeared ahead.

An old man stood there, slightly stooped. Yet he seemed capable of propping up heaven and earth. Just standing there, he could block all great calamities.

This bearing and might had already surpassed Supreme Immortal by far, reaching a majestic and towering degree.

Lu Yuan stared at that figure, his expression a little dazed. When he came back to himself again, he suddenly discovered that he was sitting cross-legged where he was.

His white hair had vanished, and he was no longer withered. It was as though everything from before had never happened.

He was still young, as if the years had never passed at all.

”This...”

At this moment, Lu Yuan was certain that everything had been an illusion. However, that illusion had been too lifelike. Even he had fully believed it, so he had not expected such a result.

”Young man,” just then, that voice sounded.

Lu Yuan could not see his face clearly.

The old man stood there, his form illusory as well. That voice in particular seemed not to belong to this age, but to have come from ancient times.

”Senior,” Lu Yuan immediately greeted as he stepped forward.

He had already recognized that this person had to have been left behind by the Jiang Clan’s ancestor, that Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor.

Respect appeared on his face. He also knew that he had probably fully opened the so-called foundation.

”The fact that you could walk this far means your will is immensely strong. Over the years, many children have also wished to stand before me, but in the end, they all failed and chose to leave.”

The old man revealed a smile then continued, ”But that is nothing. The fact that they could not do it was not because of any flaw in them. Rather, this power concerns something too important. It cannot be taken out lightly.”

At this moment, he seemed to have realized that Lu Yuan was not a member of the Jiang Clan, and his words also explained what had happened before.

Lu Yuan completely understood.

Previously, when the Jiang Clan’s people entered this place and wanted to open the foundation, this senior had actually known.

They had not succeeded because of the person before him.

Just as he had said, this power was extremely important and could not be brought out lightly.

”I was only lucky,” Lu Yuan said. Naturally, he would not believe that he was superior to everyone who had ever come here.

”I can sense that you also carry an aura that belongs to me, but you have completely transformed it into your own power.”

The old man spoke again. Although Lu Yuan could not see his face clearly, he could imagine the old man smiling now, as if he was very satisfied.

”Yes, Senior.”

Lu Yuan thought of the drop of Human Sovereign blood essence he had obtained in Shennongjia. He immediately understood what the old man was referring to, so he did not deny it.

”Good. My time is almost up.”

The old man spoke once more. ”The foundation I left behind is actually very simple. It is my power. Of course, it is only temporary. Since you passed the trial, this power will appear within you. Remember, you cannot use it lightly, because it can only be used once. I hope you will use it where it is needed most.”

He seemed to have known that in later generations, this universe would face a tremendous calamity. That was why he had ultimately chosen to leave behind a portion of his power, to be used at the right moment.

Even after his death, this ancient sage had still worried about the juniors of later generations, and even this world.

”I understand.”

Lu Yuan knew that this was only a strand of will left behind by the Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor.

Even though he had many questions, the old man clearly could not give answers. There was not enough time. The important thing now was to set him at ease.

”As long as you understand what I mean. Remember my words.”

Sure enough, after the old man finished speaking, he slowly disappeared.

The surrounding heaven and earth once again became a vast expanse of white, as though nothing had happened.

However, Lu Yuan could now sense an indescribable power within him. It was sealed in the deepest part of him. As long as he wished, he could use it.

But just as the old man had said, this power could only be used once. It would not continue strengthening him forever. Therefore, it could not be used lightly.

Lu Yuan also believed that the old man might have long foreseen the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, and even the matter of the great calamity.

He also hoped that Lu Yuan could use this power where it was truly meant to be used.

Of course, Lu Yuan was indeed very curious.

The power of the Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor. How powerful was it, exactly?

Lu Yuan knew that above the Immortal Realm were Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Realm Heavenly Lord.

He simply did not know whether the Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor had reached such a level.

Having thought till this point, he was also clear that it would be best to use this power as late as possible.

It would be even better if he never had to use it because if that were the case, it would mean that in the future, no major calamity affecting the entire world and universe would occur. The living beings across the cosmos would also be able to live in peace.

Bu Lu Yuan knew that such a thing was probably impossible.

The Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had already begun to act, and the situation afterward would only become more difficult.

All he could do was find a way to make himself stronger as quickly as possible. He also had to make sufficient preparations for the chaos to come. Lu Yuan understood this perfectly well, and he had always been doing exactly that.
