Loose cultivator Shi Lang gradually realized he had reached near-invincibility. However, as he attempted to ascend to a higher realm, the world's spirit energy was almost depleted.
Faced with the choice between his own ascension or the safety of his world, he chose the latter and sacrificed himself to save it.
No one knew what he had given up for the world, and he never told anyone. Despite his unsung sacrifice, someone witnessed everything. A treasured artifact he carried preserved his soul, sparing him from complete annihilation.
Eons passed.
The human race moved from an age of cultivation into an era of stellar conquest. Spirit energy became scarce, but humans found new ways to excel.
In this advanced era, Shi Lang's soul has found a chance at rebirth. What happens when an ancient cultivator, who nearly reached deity status before his first death, gets a second chance in the space age?
