The man's voice was very indifferent and cold.

He seemed to care deeply about this matter.

"Yi brother, you're making a fuss over nothing."

Zhou Biqiong saw the other party like this and smiled: "As for that Lu Yuan, I had noticed him before. He was an ordinary person, neither had a bloodline nor any special trait. Before the mutation, he had some money, but was just a prodigal rich second generation."

"But now... with money being useless, who knows where he's hiding from exotic beasts, he's not worth your attention."

She spoke, full of disdain, mentioning some past interactions Lu Yuan had with her elder sister.

But that's all. After all, even before the mutation,

to the Wu Zhou Group,

at most, he was just a rich second-gen worth noting.

But now, in a new era where power reigns, he's not even an ant.

The two aren't on the same level at all.

"Is that so?"

The man smiled slightly at these words.

Perhaps he was over-concerned, to be stirred by an ordinary person.

Still, if they meet in the future,

he should find a way to give him a lesson.

Some gaps simply cannot be bridged.

"Yi brother, the news of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum has leaked, Awakened ones are gathering, and many more are on their way. It seems our plan this time won't be smooth," Zhou Biqiong said, watching the crowd continuously entering Chang'an City.

"It's reported that the North Emperor, Southern Emperor, Ice Fairy, and Asura have also set out. How do you feel about the pressure?"

As she spoke, she hinted at knowing many secrets, obviously aware of much inside information.

The extraordinary coming into the world, a new era arriving, more and more are taking the path of evolution.

The Five Great Venerables, selected by enthusiasts,

are the most powerful Awakened ones at present, recognized by many.

Therefore, even as Zhou Biqiong recited these names, her brows furrowed slightly.

"No worries."

The man smiled and shook his head: "No matter who comes, I'll fight them all."

His voice was light, but full of confidence, and as he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from him.

Very strong.

He had the confidence to say so.

"Our Zhou Family will also send many strong people, and will bring out hot weapons at critical moments,"

Zhou Biqiong said, determined to secure the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum this time.

And the Wu Zhou Group is immensely powerful.

In the early stages of the mutation, they reaped many benefits by cooperating with the authorities and could muster some hot weapons.

But she dared not be careless, because the Longevity Gene, Celestial God Technology, and others also had strong means, not weaker than the Wu Zhou Group.

"The new era is ushering in, and as time progresses, hot weapons will fade from the stage of history."

The man spoke, because his bloodline was very strong.

He had a mysterious inherited memory.

Knowing that in the future, strong Awakened ones would be able to ignore hot weapons, reaching unimaginable heights.

Of course, he didn't say much more, just said: "Alright, Yunqiong has returned, let's go as well."

"Okay."

Zhou Biqiong nodded.

The two then boarded a helicopter together.

Shortly after, the helicopter took off, not following the prescribed routes of Chang'an City, but directly flying over the steel wall.

Being one of the four great domestic forces, the Wu Zhou Group naturally had privileges beyond ordinary people.

...

Within Chang'an City,

Due to the incline of official resources and the efforts to construct it,

it was more prosperous and bustling than most cities.

People came and went on the streets.

There were ordinary people as well as Awakened ones.

And none of them were locals.

Lu Yuan walked among them, occasionally hearing many voices.

The ordinary folks didn't say much, talking about life, and marveling at the changes in the world.

As for the Awakened, it was different; they gathered in twos and threes, speaking in hushed voices about the matters concerning the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

"Indeed, it is one of the five super cities under construction, quite different from those on the road."

"It's rumored that the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum will open in a few days, we need to prepare."

"Yes, perhaps we can gain some benefits and continue evolving."

Clearly, these people came with a purpose.

As Lu Yuan anticipated, the changes concerning the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum had thoroughly spread, and many were aware.

Especially those Awakened ones, some plan to form teams, helping each other, thinking that there is strength in numbers, hoping to find opportunities during this time.

Of course, there are also those with a pessimistic outlook, thinking that too many people are coming.

Not to mention the bigger forces, hoping to fish in troubled waters, the difficulty will be very high.

Lu Yuan was well aware.

This time, with the opening of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, many people would die.

But it doesn't involve him, he plans to find a quiet place to rest.

For him, it didn't matter where he lived, he just wanted to act low-key.

Once the matter is over.

He'll start preparing for the series of plans ahead.

Lu Yuan possesses a ten-year lead, clearly understanding the major events occurring in certain places, and what opportunities exist.

And all of this would become his capital for continuous evolution and growth.

At night,

the stars were shining brightly, and the moonlight was brilliant.

In an abandoned building in Chang'an City.

Lu Yuan picked up his phone, browsing various reports about the Awakened and the movements at the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

[In Chang'an City, at least ten thousand Awakened have arrived, including top leaders from major powers such as Zhen Dan Academy and Wu Zhou Group entering the city today.]

This news appeared on the forum, gaining significant attention and drawing the focus of many Awakened.

Some Awakened also registered accounts and left comments.

They believed that the struggle among major powers could lead to large-scale battles and casualties.

Many agreed, saying the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, where the Ancestral Dragon slumbers, surely holds earth-shattering creations, and whoever obtains them can transform into a dragon overnight, attaching related videos and photos.

Lu Yuan naturally also clicked to view.

In the video.

A massive mountain, at least ten thousand meters high, reaching into the clouds.

Light emanated from the mountain, soaring skyward, forming into a dragon shape, extremely extraordinary.

This is the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, originally only about a hundred meters high, but after the mutation, it shot up from the ground, surpassing many mountain ranges, and the mountain continuously glowed day and night, illuminating the surrounding hundreds of meters.

Because of this, even if major powers wanted to block the news, it would be impossible.

The phenomenon was too astonishing; everyone could notice it.

Soon.

Another news piece drew attention.

[Three days later, Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, the land of Dragon Vein, Land of Creation, Awakened competing, who can reach the peak?]

This was released by a major power, clearly trying to stir things up with a grand spectacle.

It prompted speculation on who could seize the creation of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

At the same time, it provided a rough opening time, deliberately pushing the matter to another peak.

As expected, many people engaged in discussions, most of which were about the Five Great Venerables, believing they are currently the five strongest Awakened, standing at the top of the pyramid, potentially engaging directly.

Some even revealed that the Winged Celestial God, North Emperor, and South Sovereign had all arrived, lurking within Chang'an City.

After a few days, when the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum fully opens, they will make their move.

"The Winged Celestial God is coming? I believe he is the strongest among the Five Great Venerables and will surely seize the creation."

"Who says so? The South Sovereign is also here, the eldest son of the Longevity Gene's patriarch, with a powerful bloodline and terrifying combat power, no weaker than the Winged Celestial God."

"The North Emperor is backed by Zhen Dan Academy, his physique is astonishing, as if a Buddhist Vajra reborn, I believe he is the strongest, surpassing the previous two."

"The Winged Celestial God also has support from the Wu Zhou Group, not fighting alone."

"The Five Great Venerables are coming, so why should we compete?"

Below, the number of participants in the discussion was enormous, almost all Awakened, some on the way, some already in Chang'an City, thus joining in, voicing who they thought was the strongest and debating.

The Winged Celestial God's popularity was the highest, as many women thought highly of him, considering him perfect, a god descending to the mortal world.

Of course, some Awakened were troubled.

Feeling that with the appearance of the Five Great Awakened, they certainly stood no chance, utterly unable to compete.

Lu Yuan saw this news and shook his head, paying no more attention.

It was essentially similar to the memory from his previous life.

The opening of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

Drew countless eyes, also triggering the first Awakened War, leading to many subsequent impacts.

But none of this had any meaning for him, just wanting to know some information.

For instance, fully confirmed.

The opening of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum is in three days.

"Three days, eh?"

Lu Yuan's heart too held anticipation, for the things inside were too important to him, influencing the path ahead.

After this.

He stayed in this abandoned building, going nowhere.

Because the distance from Chang'an City to Lishan was not far.

After the mutation, the two places became connected, with no need to set off early.

And during this time.

Many things happened.

The most notable was a video, a forest battle between the South Sovereign and the North Emperor.

In the footage, their methods were powerful and extremely fierce, destroying many trees, leaving pits in the ground, astonishing the Awakened watching the video as they measured the gap between themselves and the opponents.

The final conclusion was that they were completely outmatched.

At the same time, someone else revealed news.

The Five Great Venerables had all clashed with each other over these few days, but no one knew the results.

Many who heard this wanted related videos and photos, but unfortunately, none were shared.

In any case.

The closer the day of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum's opening, the more turbulent the situation became, with even confrontations occurring in the city.

Finally, it was the Zhen Dan Academy's dean in Chang'an City who stepped forward, managing to calm the chaos, causing the Awakened to also settle down.

Although it's impossible to control everywhere completely, the influence of Zhen Dan Academy over the Five Super Cities is still immense, given its official backing, and no one dares to disregard it.

Even the other four major forces needed to act with restraint and low profile.

However.

Once the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum opens.

Conflict will surely occur; this is unavoidable.

In the new era, ordinary means can no longer control those Awakened.

And as for Lu Yuan, he occasionally kept focus.

While also watching the purported battle video between the North Emperor and South Sovereign, but in his eyes, it was almost childish play.

With three months of preparation.

He and ordinary Awakened were no longer on the same starting line.

Thus.

Time began to flow.

Finally, three days swiftly passed.

On this night, before dawn.

Lu Yuan timely opened his eyes, slowly standing up, looking in a particular direction, his eyes flashing with brilliance, targeting the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum!
