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 watched the battle, and as he predicted, Holmes lost. Theodore asked him, "Brother, please tell me that you did not bet on the loser?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Luckily I bet on the winner. Hahaha, I placed a bet on my entire saving, one million credits. I earned back seven million."

He laughed loudly and watched Theodore's shocked face. The fat man said, "Brother, you are too bold."

Shi Lang laughed, and said, "Since I had to stake it all on my luck, then why not stake it all at once? If I had lost and tried to win back the money, it would have been even more agonizing. Would it not?"

Theodore nodded and said, "Indeed, you are correct. Now that you have seven million, you can bet a small amount in the next match and get the rest of the amount. This way your problems will be solved and you might even get more money to get by in the future."

Entrapment.
