THE_WORDSMITH

Loose cultivator Shi Lang gradually found himself in the realm of invincibility. However, when he finally tried to ascend to the higher realm, the spirit of the world was nearly exhausted.

So, between his ascension to a new world or the well-being of his home, he chose the latter and sacrificed his life to save the world.

Nobody knew what he gave up for the world, and he told no one. 

Although his sacrifice had gone unsung, there was still someone who witnessed everything.  A treasured artifact he carried on his body preserved his soul and let it escape a tragic end.

Eons passed.

The human race stepped out from the age of cultivation into an age of stellar conquest. 

The spirit energy in the world was now scarce, but humans found other means to excel.

In this highly-advanced time, Shi Lang's soul has found a chance to be reborn. 

What happens when an ancient cultivator that neared the level of a deity before his first death gets a second chance at life in the space age?

Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang returned to his team and had a hearty meal. Later when he went back to his room, he found OB-One watching a few videos of the battles on the holo-screen in front of him. The young man asked, "What are you doing? OB-One."

The bot replied, "Sire, I found that you were analyzing the battles in the competition to get a better understanding of the potential opponents. However, a significant number of teams gave in to mental pressure. While some met graceful opponents like you, some were dealt a cruel hand."

Shi Lang nodded and when he looked at the reports, he found that the people were so vicious, that they left their opponents in form of mangled corpses. He wished that he met with these people and then he could get rid of the scourge.

Battle Royale.
