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 and the allied forces returned to their homes quickly after the battle finished. The heavenly tribulation destroyed the demon planet, and the allied forces ensured that none of the remnants of the demonic energy survived.

The five centurion beasts took away the remnant bones and did not tell anyone of the people anything. The people asked how shall they guard those bones when they all passed away, and the elders told them to wait for a message. The day they were about to die, they would call for the other old relics to replace them if the practitioners did not manage to advance.

The people were worried, and Shi Lang vouched that the elders would live a steady life for fifty years. If they managed to conserve their spirit energy to the optimal state, the time would extend to a century.

The Ascension.
