You have successfully ascended.
[A mortal realm was left behind with almost no damage.]
[And the four hundred and eighty million nearly depleted mortal realms next door.]
"This is a real resource black hole."
But you're not a really bad person.
Although you've essentially depleted the resources of those worlds, you've only taken away the existing, mature resources.
[If you casually scatter a bit of the life essence you previously extracted into the earth, it would be more than all the energy in their entire world combined.]
[Those life essences have been purified by you into extremely pure energy. With the catalysis of time and the world, they will condense into an amount hundreds of times greater than the resources you took, hundreds or thousands of years later!]
You only took what was readily available, but you left behind a much broader future.
Above the mortal realm lies the spirit realm, each spirit realm chasm connecting to tens of thousands of mortal realms. It is a continent with a diameter of one billion miles, and those at the Nascent Soul stage can ascend from the mortal realm to this place.
[It includes numerous sects and forces, Void Returning Realm experts, Avatar Ancestors, and Fusion Realm Old Monsters, among others.]
Although you are merely a Nascent Soul cultivator, you can still be considered a mid-to-high-level figure, a leader of a small force, an elder of a medium-sized sect, and even a deacon of a large sect.
Since arriving in the Spirit Realm, the conflict has ceased to be a pure internal struggle between the "Immortal Path" and the "Demon Path" of the human race. Instead, DLC has been added, introducing new races such as the Demon Race and the Beast Race.
[New maps have also been added, including Spirit Realm, Dao Realm, Dragon Valley, and Phoenix City.]
[It also added clear promotion channels such as the Ascension Platform and the Ladder to Immortality.]
For you, it means the range of flavors you can savor has increased once again.
After each moment of pleasure, you would quietly lean to the side, rubbing the spatial ring on your finger.
[The spatial ring can only hold inanimate objects.]
For example, the little world you created, and those puppets.
"Sigh, just you wait."
"No," you mutter to yourself, "Actually, I'm the one waiting."
"For you guys, this is a complete win without any effort. You die unexpectedly in a few seconds, without experiencing any pain or suffering."
"When I opened my eyes again, I was suddenly standing right in front of me."
"Perhaps I can go back a little further, directly to the moment I feigned death, a perfectly seamless transition!"
"I'll pick you all up and we'll have a party."
"The number of people suddenly increased hundreds or thousands of times."
"Ha, you guys were pretty surprised, weren't you!"
"Wait, the CD is ready."
You close your eyes: "Return to simplicity."
[His aura surged upwards again, advancing further from the early stage of the clone technique, and getting closer to the middle stage.]
It took you over four hundred years to go from rebuilding your cultivation to reaching the Mahayana stage.
"Including the time it takes to return to the origin, it's actually 800 years."
[It turns out that as long as you diligently collect cultivation resources, you can still advance faster.]
After advancing to the fifth realm, the Mahayana stage, a cultivator's strength reaches a terrifying level, capable of shattering tens of thousands of miles in an instant, and their demand for spiritual energy also reaches an extreme.
[A single cultivator in the Mahayana stage could casually inhale or exhale spiritual energy, causing the spiritual energy within a million miles to dry up and the world to wither.]
However, if they didn't continue absorbing spiritual energy like this, they wouldn't even live as long as the previous Nascent Soul stage cultivators (whose lifespan is 30,000 years), only about 10,000 years.
Only by ascending again and reaching the Immortal Realm can one live a carefree life, reaching a lifespan of ten thousand years, thanks to the abundant spiritual energy there!
In the spirit world, different races each control an ascension platform, also known as a ladder to immortality, that leads to different regions of the celestial realm.
In the mortal realm, cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can break through the world barrier alone and ascend to the Spirit Realm.
However, in the spirit realm, one must ascend via the Ascension Ladder; otherwise, the journey is not only long but also carries the risk of accidentally entering the chaotic starry sky and being swept away by astral storms.
As you prepare to ascend, all the major races extend sincere invitations to you.
Because of your interference, the original Heavenly Dragon, Qilin, and Kunpeng clans of the demon race were wiped out. Now, the Heavenly Phoenix and the Nine-Tailed Fox are in charge. These two clans submit to the various divine beast bloodlines in you and consider you merely a lost young master of divine beasts among the human race.
The fact that races like the Spirit Race and the Underworld Race have extended invitations to you is simply because you have a good relationship with them.
[For example, with the Spirit Clan, you helped them cultivate over ten Mahayana stage cultivators, seven or eight hundred Integration stage cultivators, and tens of thousands of Avatar stage cultivators through dual cultivation.]
In the past, the spirit realm would typically only have a maximum of seventeen or eighteen Mahayana stage cultivators at the same time, and sometimes as few as three or five...
[This limitation mainly stems from resources: the world automatically produces spiritual energy (primordial energy), but there is a rate cap; it can only support a dozen or so Mahayana cultivators at a time, and once those Mahayana cultivators have left, the spiritual energy becomes scarce, and it may take twenty or thirty thousand years for no new cultivators to emerge.]
[It's all because your inherent nature is too high. Every time you practice dual cultivation, you're even trying your best to restrain yourself, otherwise, if you give even a little more, you'll overwhelm your opponent.]
Many people felt regret when they learned that you were going to ascend to heaven: you only stayed in the spirit world for a little over three hundred years, which was too short a time.
[If you're willing to stay for a few hundred more years, then a whole bunch of Mahayana-stage cultivators will ascend from the Spirit Realm... No, they won't even need to ascend; they can maintain their peak condition in the Spirit Realm just by relying on you!]
[You chose the Heavenly Ladder of the Human Race's Haoran Sect because you personally promoted the sect's female Mahayana cultivator to that position.]
"It's a string of cash, isn't it?"
When you and she ascended to heaven together, all the major powerful races in the entire spirit world sent important representatives to see you off.
"The whole world is full of friends," you exclaimed, overwhelmed with emotion.
After all, the races willing to be your friends have produced a bunch of high-level powerhouses through dual cultivation, while those unwilling to be your friends... are no longer considered powerful races after other races have greatly increased in strength.
"Because they weren't given any resources, the entire clan lacked strong individuals and declined rapidly."
"This shows you the importance of hard work; falling behind means being vulnerable to attack."
"She's clearly a Daji who cultivates immortality."
"You must be the Daji of the cultivation world."
[This ascension platform in the Ascension World is not merely a dimensional traction device; it truly possesses the function of "baptism into immortality," a tremendous benefit for those who ascend!]
In traditional online novels, ascension involves a baptism that helps the ascendant undergo a fundamental transformation, allowing them to remain in the mortal realm and become an immortal.
[And this ascension platform, in a sense, also possesses a similar function!]
[You are beginning your ascension.]
