Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang did not say anything else to Unity. Instead, he turned back to look at the stone arch with complicated emotions in his heart. The situation was completely different from what he had expected. Eternia only wanted the two species to live together in harmony.

She was born amidst a war where humans and beasts did not get along. Yet, two people fell in love and gave birth to her. She wanted the two species to remember what they could do with each other rather than to each other. However, her efforts failed when the demons attacked her in the guise of spirit beasts.

Enraged, she cast a lock on the world laws, and by the time Tian Long arrived, it was too late. The man could not do much other than bury the corpse in a stone and place it underneath a monolith for protection. He did not even tell the two spirit guardians about the hoax of the stone arch.

Shi Lang estimated that the old guy must have calculated this in his vision. Finally, Unity looked at him, lost in a daze, and asked, "What happened?"

Shi Lang said, "The spirit of that expert has vanished. We should seal this place as the last resting place in her respect. None of the people shall come here ever again. Also, rename the city after Eternia. This place will be used for the ascension of the old people. What do you think?"

Unity was confused and asked, "Why do you say all these things for? What happened?"

Shi Lang looked at her and told her everything while they moved toward the exit of the grotto. First, the sword spirit was surprised. Then she was shocked, and slowly the shock turned into sadness and then rage. Shi Lang did not say anything even if he could sense the fluctuation, and Unity asked, "What do you intend to do with the evil XiaoTing spirit?"

The young Terran said, "Since he had already filled and trapped inside the realm of no return, he will gradually die in a few decades. However, I can bring him out if you want to."

Unity shook her head and said, "He betrayed my master and me for eons. If I saw him, I would shred him to wisps, so better let him stay in there to die. As for the rest of the conditions, I will mention them to the high council."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "As you say. Oh yeah, TianLong said hello."

Unity froze, and after a minute, she asked, "You saw Master?"

"Yeah, he looks pretty old now. I wonder if he is being driven to his death up there.", said Shi Lang.

Unity shivered and said, "You better mind your words. I will ascend to the immortal realm. I will help my master."

Shi Lang clicked his tongue and said, "You understand the rules. Or did you forget them all after all this time? Spirit weapons cannot go through plane ascension tribulation if they do not follow their master. So Tian Long screwed you up."

Unity was at a loss when the realization dawned upon her. She was shocked and asked, "Can I never go to that place?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "Go, find another master and ascend with that person."

Unity was standing in her spot when Shi Lang decided to walk out of the grotto. He did not know how to make the sword spirit feel better. She had been dedicated to guarding the spirit beasts all these years, waiting for someone to change the world's rules. However, now, she found an enormous wall in front of her.

The wall was made up of her loyalty to Tian Long and the laws that did not allow her to cross the heavenly tribulation without a master. Shi Lang suddenly realized something and said, "You are a sword spirit. Swords are the weapons that can even slash heavens, then can you not slash the world laws?"

Unity heard his voice, and something inside her changed as if a shell of dust and duty that had become her cage was unlocked. Her thinking changed, and closing her eyes. She recalled how she first met Tian Long. She was a treasure generated by heaven and earth. When Tian Long came to find her, he had almost died. Yet, if not for his unwavering spirit and defiance, she would not have decided to follow him.

After hundreds of years, when Tian Long surpassed the bounds of the mortal world, she still did not wish to break her feelings for him. However, now that she had fulfilled her duty, she wanted to go and step into the immortal realm on her own.

...

Shi Lang did not bother with the sword spirit but walked out of the grotto. Outside, the situation had changed a lot. The city was now akin to a hunting ground. The cultivators from the spirit beast race were chasing the few demon survivors. None of these people was to be spared.

The young terran jumped and flew away from the place. He was headed toward the high council elders and discussed the next few moves. He wanted to ask what they had in mind about the next step toward cultivation.

…

The high council elders had finished dealing with the demon king, and the demon general was disposed of by Unity earlier. Shi Lang greeted them with a smile, saying, "Tough battle?"

The people responded with smiles, but no one said a word. Are you joking? They wanted to save face in front of a junior. Moon Baley asked, "Did you complete dealing with the issue?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "You can sense the change if you try."

The people exchanged glances and began to sense the spiritual energy in the surrounding. Suddenly, all the people cultivating for a few decades started to break through on the spot. Shi Lang saw this scene and sighed, 'Such an exaggeration.'

He saw this but did not disturb people and waited for the ace division to regroup. Crystal saw the situation of the elders, and with a radiant smile, she said, "Boss, you can visit a few scenic spots. Do you think you can stay back for a few more days?"

Shi Lang looked at his team and said, "It is up to them. I will go back to the library and study."

Amelia sensed something was up with Shi Lang, so she followed him. However, the rest of the people did not want to mess up and decided to travel along with crystal. They were dedicated but have yet to be mad about cultivation.

…

On the other hand, Shi Lang led Amelia to a garden in front of the library, and they both sat on the ground. The girl was about to ask him something when Unity appeared before them. Shi Lang patted the ground next to him, and Unity froze.

These past few months of the company have made them develop a decent connection. Unity sat beside Shi Lang and said, "What do you have in mind?"

Shi Lang said, "We do not need to hold back anymore. The wars and all can be left for the young to handle. The galaxy is filled with people, but none know about cultivation. I might sound selfish, but cultivation shall not be passed to the other species. Ikeras learned the method of blood refiners. The others might twist the logic too.

Federation and Citadel both have confidants. We can teach them cultivation and have them grow stronger too. However, precautions should be taken. Have them all swear a heavenly oath.

Tian Long said that the humans and spirit beasts were suffering under the pressure of the demon beasts. I do not want that old man to die before I can kick his ass."

Unity looked at him and said, "I agree with you. He has some balance to settle with me too. We shall do as you said, rush to the peak."

Shi Lang nodded and, looking at Amelia, said, "You do not want to ask what am I talking about?"

Amelia shook her head and said, "I do not understand anything besides staying with you. I will also work harder and ascend together with you. Do not worry. I do not have any constraints on me."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I only hope that Shi Tao and the guardians can be set up correctly and that they can protect the independence of our homes."

Amelia nodded and said, "They are your students. Have some faith in them."

Shi Lang looked at the sky, and sighed as he said, "With the fall of a titan begins the era of gods."

Unity said, "Destruction begets construction. And a new world me rise soon."

Shi Lang and the sword spirit nodded to each other when Amelia said, "To the rise of a new dawn."

They did not know but several high council elders appeared around them who all hailed, "To the rise of a new dawn.
