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 was unaware of the enlightenment that Crystal had just received. He stood in the center of a clearing, surrounded by thousands of Ikeras guards. Yet, his face was calm like water.  He was waiting for an enemy who could challenge him. The movement of the soldiers earlier told him that someone from a higher rank would come and face him.

This was a courtesy he extended out of respect for the enemy. The other person must be a cultivator. Otherwise, how will he come to challenge him? Shi Lang was waiting when Sparrow's voice sounded in his earpiece, "Boss, why are you so sure that someone will come over?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I can feel it in the eyes of the soldiers. They all show excitement and trust. It must be someone from a higher rank."
