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 decided to place the array core later and held Shi Tao's hand. Then he appeared outside the valley. He looked at the guard who was staring at him as if he has seen a ghost and said, "Channel the message, till the black clouds disperse, this valley is off-limits.

The guard nodded hastily and began to pass on the message. Shi Tao asked, "Dad, what is that?"
Shi Lang said, "That, my dear, is a heavenly tribulation."
Shi Tao asked, "What is that?"
Shi Lang sighed and said, "When your cultivation reaches a level where your existence is something against the rules of the heavens, they send out a tribulation to test your worth. If you can pass the tribulation, then your foundation is stable and your strength increases. However, failing the tribulation means death."
Shi Tao nodded and said, "Does that mean I will also have to face this tribulation?"
