Old Ji and Old Yun, along with others, were shocked upon discovering this.

Even those younger individuals, who had gained strength and confidence from the recent world evolution,

were all stunned and incredulous at the events unfolding in the starry sky.

Not to mention the technological means, just the scenes from deep space.

Were enough to deter a large group of people into taking it seriously.

And then there was the star battleship, spanning ten thousand meters.

It was beyond imagination.

Such scenes should only appear in movies, yet now they had become reality, just in outer space.

Old Ji and the others finally understood why Lu Yuan had advised them to consolidate their strength before his retreat.

The root cause was that those beings beyond Earth were truly too powerful, possessing unpredictable means.

Thus, at this moment, they kept a close watch, wanting to be updated on the developments at all times.

And soon, a few more days passed.

Dozens of star battleships approached Earth, but surprisingly, they slowed down and did not choose to enter immediately, pausing in outer space, while asteroids gathered beside the battleships, either intentionally or unintentionally.

Meanwhile, more objects appeared in that passage, a complete star.

But it reflected a metallic luster on its surface, and its diameter was quite small, less than ten thousand meters.

It seemed not to be a real star, but something like a spacecraft.

This scene was truly terrifying.

The authorities deliberated.

Realizing it was impossible to hide it forever, they chose to disclose it because the day would come when it had to be faced.

In this situation, letting the public and all the Awakened know also counts as preparation.

Otherwise, it would be taken by surprise, better to reveal the truth.

Of course, they were aware it would cause panic in the short term.

"Aliens have appeared in the starry sky, go check the latest news."

"There's already a live broadcast, the official has started it, using sensors to record many scenes."

"Heavens, is there really life beyond our world? Where did they come from? Why have they come to this world?"

Indeed.

When the images and news outside the starry sky were officially released and streamed live,

Everyone was shocked, unable to believe it, feeling it too outrageous, beyond comprehension.

Yet the facts were before their eyes, no matter how astonishing, they had to accept them.

Fortunately, after being tempered by various significant events in this new era,

people, though feeling panic and fear,

ultimately accepted it.

Everyone kept a close watch.

It was truly a matter of global attention.

They realized, perhaps another era was about to begin.

And on this day, through the starry sky detectors, the authorities discovered.

After stopping, those battleships detected a powerful force gathering, moreover, a cannon muzzle emitted an incredibly intense light, which had blasted a comet before.

But this time, the cannon muzzle was aimed at Earth, and the energy gathered was even more terrifying than before.

"Are they... are they preparing to attack us?"

"Hostile, truly hostile, such powerful energy, how can we resist?"

"Retaliate with thermonuclear weapons? It seems impossible, too late, and perhaps ineffective."

"Then what should we do? Are we just sitting ducks now?"

"Once they attack, it will cause devastating damage."

Everyone was stunned, and though mixed with anger, the predominant feeling was fear.

The reason was simple, the energy gathered by the starship was immense, and this time, dozens of battleships together, the destructive power would be terrifying.

Old Ji and Old Yun, upon seeing this scene, were also stunned, their faces showing expressions of despair.

Lifeforms appeared from beyond, just attacking before figuring out anything...

For a moment, panic spread.

It felt as if doomsday was approaching.

But soon, Jiang Ningxian came out from her abode, found the authorities, and told them not to worry, indicating that though the world had changed, certain methods still existed, and there wouldn't be a severe crisis for now.

Indeed, as if to validate her words, after those dozens of star battleships gathered enough power,

they fired beams directly to bombard, but outside Earth, suddenly, enormous runes appeared.

These runes were very soft, appearing to lack some, yet ultimately blocked all those beams.

The terrifying energy did not descend upon Earth, and everyone was protected by a mysterious method.

And all of it was broadcast live, displayed before everyone's eyes.

Relieved.

Though not knowing what those runes protecting Earth were, at least, disaster hadn't arrived.

Yet soon, people were once again shaken, for they noticed on those star battleships, human figures and some giant beasts appeared, though too far to discern clearly what they were.

But the problem was, some of those beings appeared in space directly, without any protection.

Old Ji and Old Yun, upon witnessing that, appeared extremely solemn, realizing the power of those beings.

Because, within the evolution system they established.

Not even the fourth-stage Golden Body Realm could survive in the universe.

Unless reaching the fifth stage of evolution, but that realm was not even named...

Thus it could be deduced.

The outer realm creatures were at least at this realm, and evidently, those beings would eventually descend...

"Those beings are very strong, once descending, the world's structure will change once again."

In the Taishan Trial Institute, inside a meeting room, everyone's eyes were extremely solemn, with deep concerns, having understood from previous events that the situation ahead would be troublesome.

The official strength was no longer enough to completely control everything, even utilizing thermonuclear weapons wouldn't suffice.

Once those creatures from the stars descend, there's basically no way to stop them.

If they carry hostility, then a great war will erupt.

"This matter must be discussed with King Lu."

Someone spoke up, making a decision: "We should hear King Lu's opinion."

"Opinions can be heard, but ultimately, what actions to take rely on us," Elder Ji spoke, believing that not everything should depend on King Lu, but thinking it necessary to discuss some subsequent matters with him.

"That's what I think too, but right now, King Lu is in seclusion. During this time, it's best to keep observing the Outer Realm creatures."

"At least, there's still a mysterious power on Earth now that offers temporary safety, giving us some breathing room."

Elder Yun also spoke, agreeing with Elder Ji, but knowing not to disturb, especially with the Outer Realm unable to descend yet.

They can continue to accumulate strength to face the upcoming crisis.

"Alright."

The others agreed immediately upon hearing this.

Luckily, on their side, they still have Jiang Ningxian from the Desolate Flame Star Realm.

If there are truly unsolvable issues, they can turn to her for advice, proving that the previous decision was correct.

Meanwhile,

in a certain building,

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged as before, operating the Ancestral Dragon Breathing Technique and the Visualization Technique.

But unlike before, this time he was not in seclusion to break the Genetic Shackles.

Having reached the limit, it's impossible to break further now. The task was to release all power, rushing into the next realm.

Buzz buzz buzz~

The golden blood essence had long been restrained.

Yet from within him erupted a stronger force.

A mighty aura released, causing the air to buzz slightly.

Arcs of electricity continually circled around him, looking extraordinarily magnificent.

The already shattered 108 shackles released a torrent of vast energy, like a volcanic eruption, extremely terrifying.

Thump thump~

Thump thump~

The heart beat.

His organs emitted light.

Under the impact of that tremendous force,

Lu Yuan's cells, and even every piece of flesh, began to change.

This situation had persisted for a while, now truly reaching its limit, further facilitated by the unsealing of that mysterious force between heaven and earth, proceeding very smoothly.

Finally, after unknowingly how long,

all the Genetic Shackles' myth, power was thoroughly released, flooding into every corner of his body.

Rumble~

With a loud explosion,

Lu Yuan was enveloped entirely by golden light.

A great sun emerged behind him, along with fifteen Grotto Heavens.

The Shackles Realm was broken, ushering in new energy, allowing him to evolve once more.

His skin was surrounded by golden light, even his pores inhaled and exhaled essence.

His physique was greatly enhanced.

His four limbs and torso erupted with an even more intimidating aura.

Golden Body Realm.

Achieved!

The energy released by shattering the 108 Genetic Shackles.

Made Lu Yuan reach the pinnacle of this realm immediately upon breaking through.

It was inevitable; his foundation was too strong, and his previous accumulations far exceeded others.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the Shackles Realm for so long.

Buzz~

The next moment,

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with intimidation.

"This breakthrough enhanced my physique, altered my divine techniques, most importantly, the Martial Arts Celestial Eye has evolved too, quite impressive."

Feeling his own condition, he showed a satisfied expression. Compared to the Shackles Realm, his combat power had at least increased tenfold.

Moreover, the Golden Body Realm had two hallmark abilities: flying and the Golden Body Dharma Aspect.

However, Lu Yuan did not choose to attempt them. For him,

having just broken through,

he needed to adapt to the Golden Body Realm's power.

Understanding himself allows unleashing the strongest combat power.

He's always done so, knowing not to be complacent.

"Let's stop for now; no telling how long I've been in seclusion."

Lu Yuan chose not to continue, but to cease seclusion and, remembering the great events predicted to align with the second awakening, walked out of the room, taking out the communicator specially prepared by Elder Ji and others, and opened it to browse.

No need for a detailed search, the internet was abuzz with the same issue.

[Outer Realm creatures appearing, about to descend, is it a blessing or catastrophe for Earth?]

An exceedingly eye-catching title, with a live broadcast link above it.

Lu Yuan clicked directly into it.

Through the messages and discussions above, he quickly understood recent developments...

Putting down the communicator, Lu Yuan's eyes grew solemn, but soon a hint of a smile appeared: "Finally... have they come?"
