World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 598 - 463: The First Failure (Two in One)

The Enlightenment Ceremony began smoothly.

When Zhang Xiaoman, clad in his purple-black robe, appeared in the center of the venue, everyone’s gaze instinctively converged upon him.

Here, you might not recognize an Awakener, an instructor, or even your peers from the Star Alliance.

But you would definitely know the Star Lord, the one who single-handedly established this place.

Every newcomer who arrived here was promptly informed by the Light Blue Clan of the stories relating to the Star Lord.

At times, some would embellish the existence of the Star Lord with a multitude of legendary tales.

Such as how he single-handedly integrated the Three Great Sanctuaries to create a unique Enlightenment Array, saving humanity from an era devoid of transcendence.

And how he wielded great power to raise Rebirth Island, once sunken beneath the sea, back to the light of day.

Even how he alone pierced through the Dimension Wall and constructed a new universe—the Original Realm—to shelter all those living within this space.

There were more, like stealing spaceships from aliens, killing Fourth-level Alien Species with a single strike, and emerging unscathed from directly resisting nuclear bombs, and so on.

In short, all of these impressive feats—true or false, exaggerated or understated—made the newcomers’ eyes sparkle with admiration and their hearts surge with excitement.

Now, as that figure appeared in the hall, everyone looked at him with awe, anticipating the start of the Enlightenment Ceremony.

"Today, we have three Recipients. They either passed the organization’s trials or made substantial contributions to it, each earning this opportunity through their own efforts. Congratulations to them," he said, getting straight to the point.

As his words ended, some among the audience couldn’t help but burst into applause, prompting others to follow suit.

Among them, individuals like Aaron and Bena, who had put in tremendous effort for this month’s trials, could hardly conceal the envy on their faces as they clapped especially hard.

Zhang Xiaoman gestured with his hand to quiet them, and the crowd immediately ceased their actions.

Following his cue, several figures stepped out from the crowd; they were the three participating in this Awakening.

They were Jannan, Dane, and Sam.

The trio walked to the center stone platform of the Inheritance Hall, stood in position, and performed the Star Touching Ceremony before Zhang Xiaoman.

Among them, apart from Jannan, the Wencheen brothers had also donned the uniform of the Star Alliance members.

Before coming here, they had been informed about the Enlightenment Ceremony.

And now, they were fully mentally prepared for what was to come.

Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand, projecting the image from the Jade Soul. It was still the same scene of the pioneers in battle.

Around him, everyone stared intently at the scene, their minds and bodies almost instantaneously immersed in the atmosphere.

Both newcomers and veterans were highly anticipatory of this ancient secret.

The newcomers, having heard about its content many times from their predecessors, had long been curious to see the truth for themselves. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

The veterans, however, could watch it countless times, as no special effects in movies could compare to the feeling as if they were right there on the battlefield.

Monsters, blood, fighting...

Countless Alien Species surged out from the Dimension Rifts that opened one after another, with the sages of the Three Great Sanctuaries falling consecutively on the barren land.

The intense battle depicted in the images stirred the blood of the onlookers, their emotions fluctuating with the tides of the battle.

From the initial success against the monsters to the despair when the massive forces of the Alien Species invaded once more.

Everyone felt a stifling sensation in their chests, as if they were on the verge of bursting out in a shout to relieve the tumult within.

Once, when they joined the Star Alliance, many had merely harbored a curious fascination with becoming Transcendent, or they were simply there for the generous compensation offered by the Star Alliance.

Even though Awakeners had told them about the dangers of entering this world, even though they had mentally prepared themselves.

But that preparation had only been superficial and speculative.

Now, having witnessed the battles of old with their own eyes, enveloped in that immersive sensation, they had come to see everything in a new light.

At that moment, some displayed intense excitement, while others wore worried looks.

Yet not one person showed any sign of cowardice.

Although they weren’t seasoned elite soldiers, everyone had passed the corresponding tests before being recruited by the Light Blue Clan.

Furthermore, with what they had seen and heard in the Star Alliance, the scene before them couldn’t frighten them; instead, it ignited the passion in their hearts.

Zhang Xiaoman observed their expressions, nodding in satisfaction.

Being able to face the Alien Species was the most basic psychological quality of a Star Alliance member.

Just from this aspect, the Light Blue Clan had done quite well.

When the image ended, he paused for a moment to allow everyone to calm their heightened emotions, then turned his attention to Jannan and the other two, saying:

"This was the scene when our predecessors fought against the Alien Species. Choosing to become an Awakener, you too will give your all to fight these monsters. Do you have any regrets?"

The three inquired had already recovered from the shock of the previous images, and upon hearing the Star Lord’s words, they all responded resolutely with three words.
