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? ...

Thirteen Steps Of Virtue.
Shi Lang gathered with the rest of the people after Elder Ji told the crowd to gather. He did not step up first. He wanted to see what these thirteen steps were all about.
Someone moved forward and stood before the steps. Shi Lang watched everything moving slowly, and the Elder said, "Step on those stairs and channel your spirit energy to climb up."
The disciple nodded and took a step onto the stairs. At the same time, his shoulders sank from a strong pressure. The young man barely stood on his feet a few breaths later.
The young man tried his best to move forward but could not after five minutes of stagnation.
Edler Ji said, "Step down. You can try again next year. You would suffer prolonged injuries if you tried to move to prevail."
The young man nodded and stepped down from the steps. The lady said, "You will be given the next chance next year because you were asked to test the steps without instructions."
