Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

"But standing on the side of the Human Federation does not mean that the Lord of Ascension's ideology has not changed."

"The current Lord of Ascension..."

Emperor Bai pondered, and a thought slowly surfaced in his mind.

"Seems somewhat similar to that Space Ghost!"

Emperor Bai squinted his eyes, a faint glimmer flickering in his gaze.

The current situation of the Lord of Ascension involuntarily reminded Emperor Bai of that Galactic Life Form from the Space Ghost race - the Supreme Framework!

Back then, the Space Ghost race, under the ideology of the Supreme Framework, uploaded the consciousness of their entire race onto servers, causing their entire race to ascend, abandoning their weak physical forms to exist in the form of consciousness within the servers.

Today, the ideology of the Lord of Ascension bears a striking resemblance to that of the Supreme Framework.

The Lord of Ascension's ideology is to allow humanity, and even all carbon-based life, to ascend and evolve, ultimately discarding their weak physical forms for consciousness ascension.

Although the starting points were different, the ultimate goal was the same.

The Lord of Ascension chose a path identical to the Supreme Framework!

And this... is what worries Emperor Bai the most!

From the perspective of the Lord of Ascension, he believes that all of this greatly benefits the entire Human Federation; after all, abandoning a weak physical form would enable immortality.

However, for Emperor Bai, and most of the life forms in the Human Federation...

After abandoning the physical form... can they still be called humans?

If they are no longer human... what is the meaning of consciousness ascension?

"The Lord of Ascension's strength now... is far greater than before. His consciousness... ordinary people and low-level Transcendents in the Forging Star System simply cannot resist."

"However, Martial Artists seem to have a certain degree of resistance to the influence of the Lord of Ascension!"

Emperor Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.

When observing the Lord of Ascension previously, he naturally discovered this point.

Most importantly, the consciousness of the Lord of Ascension remains that of the Human Federation's sages, despite some interference from the Doomsday Star, overall, he is still communicable.

"Although communication is possible, Immortal's Dragon Fishing Plan nearly angered the Lord of Ascension!"

Emperor Bai shook his head helplessly.

"The Ascension plan of the Lord of Ascension, interrupted by Immortal's Dragon Fishing Plan, has already incensed the Lord of Ascension."

"Moreover, although the ideology of the Lord of Ascension runs counter to mine, he still holds the Human Federation in high regard; Immortal's act of treating the entire Human Federation as a tool is disgraceful in the eyes of the Lord of Ascension."

"Now the Lord of Ascension is restricted by Immortal; be it towards Immortal, me, or even other life forms of the Human Federation, he is somewhat unfriendly."

"This matter... is indeed troublesome!"

Emperor Bai rubbed his temples, his expression becoming more helpless.

In the past, the Lord of Ascension's slumber weakened the Human Federation's strength but still maintained enough deterrence to prevent other Cosmic Alien Races from acting rashly.

Now, with the Lord of Ascension awake, it seems that the three major Galactic Life Forms of the Human Federation can deter surrounding Cosmic Alien Races, but the three major Galactic Life Forms are not of one mind, which complicates matters further.

"The situation... is becoming increasingly complex!"

Emperor Bai, standing at the forefront of the Star River Star System, sighed deeply with hands behind his back.

"We still need to probe the intentions of the Lord of Ascension."

...

At the rear of the Star River Star System.

After Martial Artist Lu Sheng led the Martial Artists of Star River University to eliminate the enemy forces at the rear, they began rescue operations.

Because of the protection from Lu Sheng and Heaven-Reaching Vine, the Martial Immortal Villa and Life Factions, despite facing the most forces during this invasion, suffered the least losses.

Thus, Lu Sheng, along with the students from Life Factions and Martial Immortal Villa, started rescue operations for other severely affected factions.

At this time, several seventh-rank powerhouses who had previously rushed to the front lines also returned to the rear to begin rescue operations.

However, Lu Sheng noticed that the number of returnees was noticeably smaller than those who had headed to the front lines.

Even some familiar faces were missing from Lu Sheng's view.

Though Lu Sheng did not inquire yet, he already had a sinking feeling in his heart.

And this answer caused Lu Sheng's heart to sink.

"What about Senior Sister, and Mentor Gumo..."

Lu Sheng snapped back to reality and was about to contact Liu Yao when he received a communication from Gumo.

Lu Sheng quickly answered, and Gumo's figure appeared before him.

Even though it was just a projection, Lu Sheng could still sense that Gumo's aura seemed unstable, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Lu Sheng, everything should be fine at the school's rear, right?"

Gumo forced a smile and asked.

Lu Sheng nodded: "Though there were losses at the rear, they are acceptable. Life Factions and Martial Immortal Villa suffered the least losses."

Hearing this, Gumo also smiled with satisfaction: "With you at the rear, Liu Yao and I are reassured."
