The Beginning and End Echo Each Other

You successfully ascended.

You left behind a Mortal Realm that had suffered almost no losses.

And four hundred and eighty million neighboring Mortal Realms that had been nearly hollowed out.

"This really is a resource black hole."

But you were not that terrible a person either.

Although you had basically emptied those worlds of their resources, you had only taken the existing, fully formed ones.

You casually scattered some of the Life Origin you had previously extracted and buried it in the earth; it alone exceeded all the energy in their entire worlds combined.

Those Life Origins had already been purified into extremely pure energy. With time and the world's catalysis, after centuries or millennia, they would condense into hundreds of times the resources you had taken!

You had merely taken what was already there, yet left behind a far broader future.

Above the Mortal Realm lay the Spirit Realm. Every Spirit Realm connected to tens of thousands of Mortal Realms. It was a continent one billion li across, and Spirit Transformation cultivators could ascend here from the Mortal Realm.

There were countless sects and factions, Void Returning Great Powers, Avatar Stage patriarchs, Body Integration Realm old monsters, and more.

Though you were merely a humble Spirit Transformation cultivator, you could still be considered part of the upper-middle ranks—a leader of a minor faction, an elder of a mid-sized sect, or a deacon of a major sect.

After arriving in the Spirit Realm, it was no longer simply the pure internal conflict between the human race's "Immortal Path" and "Demonic Path." It was as though DLC had been added, bringing in entirely new races such as the Demon Race and beast race.

New maps such as the Spirit Domain, Dao Domain, Dragon Valley, and Phoenix City had also been added.
