Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

Lu Sheng stared at the scene in front of him, momentarily stunned.

Ever since he absorbed the Doomsday Star, the Lord of Ascension had fallen into a deep slumber.

No one knew what the Lord of Ascension saw, felt, or perhaps... witnessed in that dreamscape during his slumber.

And now, through digesting the Dao Insights of the Lord of Ascension, Lu Sheng directly saw the scenes of the Lord's slumber.

Or rather... it was the dream the Lord of Ascension experienced during those thousands of years of sleep!

In the scene, the Lord of Ascension floated in the boundless cosmic void, surrounded by extremely ferocious vengeful spirits.

Piercing screams continuously tormented the Lord of Ascension and the consciousnesses of countless human sages within him.

"Save me... Save me... Why couldn't you save us sooner...?"

"Why, why didn't you save us?"

The piercing screams and ceaseless cries made the galactic life form Lord of Ascension's body tremble.

Or rather... it made the consciousness cluster of those human sages tremble.

"Are all these vengeful spirits the human beings of the Federation who died because of the Doomsday Star...?"

Lu Sheng looked at this scene in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

For thousands of years, the Lord of Ascension had endured torment to suppress the consciousness of the Doomsday Star.

If it had been someone else, perhaps this wouldn't have been torment at all.

But the Lord of Ascension was different!

The consciousness cluster of many human sages had a common characteristic: they were willing to give everything for the Federation and the safety of its people.

And in such a dreamscape, transformed by the Doomsday Star, it was undoubtedly a massive stimulation to the consciousness cluster of the Lord of Ascension.

"So... this is the obsession behind the ascension plan that the Lord of Ascension wanted to initiate?"

Lu Sheng looked at the scene before him, his face a bit complicated.

Thousands of years of torment had almost turned into the heart demon of the Lord of Ascension.

The starting point of the Lord of Ascension was to find a glimmer of hope for the human Federation, but with these thousands of years of accumulated obsession, the heart demon had grown stronger, making the Lord of Ascension increasingly obsessive.

And thus, the ascension plan was initiated.

Lu Sheng fell silent, and the scene before him came to an abrupt halt at this moment.

"To seek a glimmer of hope for the human Federation... the dream of the human sages..."

"Everything... for the Federation!"

Once again, the voices of those human sages who sacrificed themselves echoed in Lu Sheng's mind in unison from the Foundry Research Institute.

"Everything, for the Federation!"

Lu Sheng's body trembled slightly, and the Dao Insights of the Lord of Ascension in his mind were rapidly being digested.

In his vision, there were continuous updates from the system.

[Dao Insights progress +1!]

[Dao Insights progress +1!]

[...]

...

Meanwhile, outside, in the cosmic void of the Forging Star System.

Everyone's eyes were on Lu Sheng, waiting for the final result.

Suddenly, a mysterious energy wave emanated from Lu Sheng, and Emperor Bai and the Lord of Ascension both showed rare signs of emotional reaction upon sensing the mysterious energy wave from Lu Sheng.

"Unbelievable... it actually succeeded in transformation!"

Emperor Bai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"The system of the Lord of Ascension is completely different from Lu Sheng's, yet he managed to convert part of it into his own understanding of the Cosmic Dao. This talent and comprehension..."

Even someone like Emperor Bai couldn't help but admire Lu Sheng at this moment.

"In this case... the Lord of Ascension should be satisfied now!"

Emperor Bai looked at the Lord of Ascension beside him, a slight smile on his lips.

Because...

He saw the emotional reaction in the golden eyes of the Lord of Ascension.

A moment later, the mysterious aura around Lu Sheng began to dissipate bit by bit, and he gradually returned to normal. At this moment, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

Lu Sheng opened his eyes, and his mind couldn't help but be stirred. The system panel then appeared in his vision.

[Name: Lu Sheng]

[Occupation: Martial Artist]

[Realm: Divine Soul Realm (2/100)]

[Eternal Ash Emperor's Authority: (56/100) LV4]

[Fake Pill Secret Technique: (MAX)]

[Dao Insights: (48/100) LV2]

"So the Dao Insights have already been raised to Level 2, and the progress of Level 2 is nearly halfway. Is this the Dao Insights of the Lord of Ascension? The boost to me... is indeed powerful!"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

The improvement in Dao Insights made it easier and more efficient to comprehend techniques after mastering the Eternal Ash Emperor's Authority.

And new techniques derived from the Eternal Ash Emperor's Authority could greatly enhance his combat power.

One could say, it's extremely important!

"I wonder if my performance will be enough for the Lord of Ascension's acknowledgment!"

Lu Sheng thought to himself secretly.

With this thought, Lu Sheng couldn't help but look towards the Lord of Ascension, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

The Lord of Ascension was also looking at Lu Sheng at this moment, but the emotion in his eyes from earlier had disappeared, replaced by an abyss of profundity.

Their gazes met, falling into a tranquil silence.
