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 entered the mine shaft after extracting all the beast crystals he found from the corpses of the beasts. The young man had no idea what the mine held for him. The young man entered the mine with great deliberation and caution. He was steady and calm with every step.

He did not enter the left branch of the shaft but cast a barrier around it to seal off the area. Then, he held his phaser handgun as a drone scouted his way forward. The young man checked the map on his visor and spent a few minutes covering the distance. After, he came to what seemed to be the ant queen's chamber. He was shocked.

Shi Lang found that the entering chamber was laced with spirit webbing, a thread-like substance covering every inch of the queen chamber. It seemed to have been formed from the saliva of the ant queen. If given to some beast, it might make them break through, but Shi Lang could not get himself to consume this thing as it was.

Slow & Arduous.
