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?

Shi Lang told Hou Bing what happened and she chuckled. The bird said, "Well, whatever the reason, that demon should die anyhow. He dared to come up with such a ploy."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I don't know what they were so scared of, why did they give in to darkness if they had so much fear in their hearts?"

Hou Bing replied, "They gave in because they feared the darkness. It is just that simple, Lang."

Shi Lang nodded in understanding. He never thought of it in this way before. Now that Hou Bing mentioned it, he found that sometimes the simplest points that could tip the scale of logic.

After traveling for three days, Shi Lang arrived at the destination. Before him stood a mountain that repelled everything, even the clouds, yet the size of this earthen behemoth was something that could shame many sects in the world.

Blood Demon Mountain.
