Ace Of Terrans
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? ...

Pawns.
Shi Lang pacified Zhu Lingxue and Yun Tian. After giving them careful instructions, he left the Zhu Family mansion. Outside the mansion, Yao Jiming asked him, "Young Master, why did you show favor to Lady Zhu?"
While gazing at the bustling marketplace, Shi Lang smiled and said, "The Zhu Family wanted to change city governance. This incident may have set them back for a few days, but they will not stop. So, to ease my troubles, I thought, why not instill a pawn of my own in this game of chess."
Yao Jiming was smart enough to understand what Shi Lang meant and confusedly asked, "Young Master, how will this pawn help us? Do you think that Lady Zhu will go against her father and family?"
Shi Lang smiled and nodded as he said, "What happens when you set a caged bird free to explore the limits of the sky, Brother Yao?"
Yao Jiming took a deep breath and said, "Young Master, you are indeed unfathomable for a dimwit like me."
