The current Lord of Ascension still remains the embodiment of the will of many past human sages. Essentially, everything he does is for the Human Federation.
He hopes that the Human Federation can continue to exist in this universe.
However, this idea began to amplify after the Lord of Ascension’s consciousness defeated the consciousness of the Doomsday Star, and it has even become somewhat extreme.
Thus, the so-called Ascension Plan was born.
To put it bluntly, the current Lord of Ascension has a heavy sense of crisis. He urgently wants to eliminate these crises, hoping that the Human Federation can continue better.
To eliminate this notion, it is necessary to weaken the Lord of Ascension’s sense of crisis, or even let him see hope.
At this moment, Emperor Bai thought of Lu Sheng.
This prodigy who broke numerous records in the Martial Artist System might be able to change some of the Lord of Ascension’s ideas.
And as long as the Lord of Ascension’s thoughts can be altered, the Ascension Plan might be paused.
Then, the ordinary beings and lower-level Transcendents of the entire Forging Star System could maintain their human bodies and consciousness.
Sure enough, after contemplating for a long time, the Lord of Ascension slowly turned his gaze to Lu Sheng. In those emotionless eyes, a faint light began to flicker.
"I admit, your words have moved me."
The Lord of Ascension said in a muffled voice.
"But... everything you told me is just words."
"I need to see this little guy’s potential with my own eyes!"
Hearing this, Emperor Bai frowned slightly, not knowing what the Lord of Ascension was planning, but he still asked.
"What do you intend to do?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ⓝovelFire.net
The Lord of Ascension said without hesitation: "Pass my test. As long as you pass my test, showing me even a sliver of hope, I will pause the Ascension Plan and give your Martial Artist System a thousand years."
Upon hearing these words, a gleam of understanding flashed in Emperor Bai’s eyes. He then looked at Lu Sheng.
Although Emperor Bai was very moved by the Lord of Ascension’s proposal, the final decision was still Lu Sheng’s to make.
"Lu Sheng, what do you think?"
Emperor Bai looked at Lu Sheng and said gently.
Lu Sheng’s expression gradually calmed down. He looked around and glanced at the planets in the Forging Star System.
Through the atmospheres of these life planets, Lu Sheng vaguely saw countless ordinary people gazing at him with hopeful eyes.
"To stop the Ascension Plan?"
Lu Sheng softly spoke, finally understanding why Emperor Bai brought him here.
He was to display his abilities to the Lord of Ascension, letting him see hope to thereby stop the Ascension Plan.
Initially, although Lu Sheng found the Ascension Plan hard to accept, it wasn’t something he could decide.
But now... the decision was in his hands.
After taking a deep breath, Lu Sheng spoke without any hesitation: "Yes!"
With these words, a look of appreciation appeared on Emperor Bai’s face.
Even the Lord of Ascension was surprised and looked at Lu Sheng. A tiny, imperceptible emotional ripple crossed the serene face.
"My test consists of only two things!"
"Strength! Comprehension!"
The Lord of Ascension spoke calmly.
With that, streaks of blue light began to flicker on the Lord of Ascension’s body. Gradually, Mechanical Transformers emerged and stood before Lu Sheng.
"Let me see your limits!"
The Lord of Ascension gazed calmly at Lu Sheng.
A seventh-tier Mechanical Bishop stepped forward, appearing before Lu Sheng.
The massive mechanical body transformed into an enormous orbital weapon, comparable to a satellite in size, surpassing even the sixth-tier Mechanical Transformer Luo Cheng from Lu Sheng’s former combat squad.
Moreover, the aura it emanated was immensely stronger than that of Luo Cheng.
Lu Sheng gazed calmly at the seventh-tier Mechanical Bishop before him. After taking a deep breath, a wave of heroism welled up within him.
"The Lord of Ascension didn’t specify how many seventh-tier Bishops I must defeat to meet his requirements. So, naturally... the stronger, the better!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly as a powerful aura suddenly erupted from him.
A tide of Qi Blood surged within the Cosmic Void at that moment.
The surrounding Mechanical Transformers retreated, leaving an open space for Lu Sheng and the seventh-tier Mechanical Bishop.
In an instant... the two figures charged towards each other, both at full power, holding nothing back.
Tremendous energy suddenly flooded the entire Cosmic Void.
Not far away, Emperor Bai watched the scene unfold with a slight smile.
With a wave of his hand, a mysterious aura emerged, transforming into scattered light screens, reflected in the Cosmic Void.
Each light screen corresponded to a life planet in the Forging Star System, allowing the inhabitants of those planets to witness the battle between Lu Sheng and the Mechanical Bishop.
This scene did not escape the Lord of Ascension’s attention.
However, the Lord of Ascension merely glanced once at Emperor Bai before turning his gaze back to the battlefield without saying a word.
The battle between Lu Sheng and the seventh-tier Mechanical Bishop erupted.
Lu Sheng, expressionless, dragged the Jade Seal of the Emperor as the terrifying Suppressing Power exploded.
In an instant, the Mechanical Bishop was suppressed under the Emperor’s Seal. Lu Sheng then followed with a powerful punch, carrying boundless force.
In a flash, the punch created a breach in the Mechanical Bishop’s body.
"Thank you for yielding!"
