From Mortal Body to Immortality

Star River Calendar, 8700.

Apocalypse Star, Yucai High School, in the classroom of Class 8, Senior Year, Lu Sheng sat in the corner, one hand propping up his chin, gazing out the window in a daze.

Seemingly lost in thought, Lu Sheng was actually staring at a blue light screen that only he could see.

【Name: Lu Sheng】

【Occupation: Martial Artist】

【Realm: Quasi-Martial Artist (62/100)】

【Longevity Stance: (73/100) LV1】

“I knew that transmigrators all have golden fingers!”

“After waiting for eighteen years, it finally came.”

Looking at the panel that suddenly appeared before him, Lu Sheng was first stunned, and then his heart filled with excitement.

“My golden finger… a stat panel? It can permanently solidify my abilities, and every improvement is a permanent boost?”

Lu Sheng looked at the light screen in front of him, while absentmindedly listening to the words of the head teacher on the podium.

“In the first year of the Star River Calendar, mankind officially unified Blue Star, the Human Federation was established, and with the research and development of the first light-speed spacecraft, a technological explosion occurred, and the Human Federation successfully entered beyond the Milky Way.”

“In the year 1367 of the Star River Calendar, the exploration fleet encountered an attack on Giant Spirit Star, but for the first time discovered the existence of a special energy called Spiritual Energy from the Giant Spirit Race, the indigenous civilization of Giant Spirit Star, and began to study this energy.”

“In the following millennium of exploration, many intelligent races were encountered, many of whom possessed energies similar to spiritual energy, such as psionic energy, death energy, dark energy, and so on. Their manifestations and names differ, but after research, these energies are essentially derived from the same source, and have an evolutionary effect on life…”

But the next moment…

“Lu Sheng, stand up and tell us about the theoretical developments of the Human Federation after researching this conclusion.”

On the podium, the head teacher, Wang Zhen, looked at the distracted Lu Sheng with an unkind expression.

Lu Sheng stood up directly. Although he had been a little distracted just now because of studying the panel, he had always had an excellent grasp of these theories.

“According to this theory, the Human Federation, after further studying the history of those intelligent creatures, discovered that there had been creatures in the universe whose life evolution had reached its end. These creatures stood at the pinnacle of the universe and were called gods, outer gods, immortals, and so on by various intelligent races.”

“And in our Human Federation, such creatures whose life evolution has reached the end are called Galactic Lifeforms!”

Lu Sheng answered the question without blushing or skipping a beat, relying on the fragments he had just heard.

Wang Zhen was somewhat helpless, but could only glare at Lu Sheng: “Some students shouldn’t think that theory is no longer important. It will all be tested in the college entrance examination! Sit down!”

Saying this, Wang Zhen heavily knocked on the blackboard and continued, “Lu Sheng is right, those lifeforms that have undergone spiritual energy evolution, once they evolve to the end, are called Galactic Lifeforms.”

“After this discovery, the Human Federation also began to study spiritual energy, and finally, in the year 1700 of the Star River Calendar, relying on theory and the many ancient martial arts left behind, as well as the information obtained through the exploration of other intelligent biological races, successfully researched different paths of spiritual energy cultivation!”

“Roughly divided into the following three mainstream cultivation paths!”

“The first path, which is also the path taken by most people in the Human Federation, is the path of martial arts, focusing on the physical body!”

“The second path is the mechanical modification path, focusing on machinery. As for the third path, it is the path of cultivators, focusing on the spirit!”

“And regardless of which path one formally embarks on, they can all be called Transcendents!”

“After the birth of Transcendents, the Human Federation continued to expand its exploration of the universe in the following millennia, successfully discovering a large number of habitable planets, colonizing 1,700 planets.”

“Thus, the Human Federation entered a period of vigorous development, but after that, in the year 3673 of the Star River Calendar, the Human Federation encountered its first Galactic Lifeform—the Doomsday Death Star!”

“The Chaos Emperor Dragon and the Primordial Light!”

“The Chaos Emperor Dragon's main body is a Void Dragon comparable to the size of a star, while the Primordial Light is the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe.”

“Under these two Galactic Lifeforms, there are different races attached.”

“The Chaos Emperor Dragon and the Primordial Light wanted to take the opportunity to devour the Ascendant Lord, but they were severely injured and repelled by the Ascendant Lord at a great cost. Although this crisis was resolved, the Ascendant Lord also consumed too much spiritual energy and fell into a deep sleep, and even today, it only barely awakens at critical moments, spending most of its time in deep sleep.”

At this time, Lu Sheng had also finished studying the basic functions of the panel. After hearing Wang Zhen's words, he couldn't help but sigh: “From this time on, the Human Federation can be considered to have discovered the essence of the universe. To put it bluntly, it is the law of the jungle, where the strong devour the weak, and the weak can only wait for death.”

“Even without this idea, other races will force you to have this idea. The essence of the universe… is inherently crazy devouring.”

“Until the entire universe only has one race left, and it is from this time that the Human Federation entered the Great Conquest Era!”

“However, although the Ascendant Lord is asleep, two Galactic Lifeforms have also been born in the Human Federation after the Great Conquest Era.”

“One is the White Emperor, who pursues the ultimate martial path, and the other is the Immortal, who pursues the spiritual path.”

“Although the White Emperor usually walks the Star River in human form, when encountering other Galactic Lifeforms, he can transform into a body comparable to the size of dozens of planets to fight.”

“As for the Immortal, his original body was human, but now it is unknown. No one knows what form the Immortal is currently in, but his spiritual power covers most of the Milky Way!”

“It is precisely because of the existence of these three Galactic Lifeforms that mechanical modifiers, martial artists, and the spiritual-focused cultivation path have become the three mainstream paths today!”

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head: “Although the Human Federation is safe and sound, due to the crazy nature of the universe, if you want to stand out in the Human Federation, you still have to embark on these three paths and become a Transcendent!”

“Alright, that’s all for my lesson today!”

On the podium, Wang Zhen let out a long breath and looked around the entire classroom, saying.

“Everyone, after saying so much, the teacher still hopes that you will improve your strength. The path of mechanical modification requires the support of a strong family background, and the path of cultivation requires strong spiritual talent. I won’t say much about these two, but the path of martial artists…”

“As long as you rely on your own efforts, you can become a Galactic Lifeform like Lord White Emperor. This is the best way out for most students!”

Listening to Wang Zhen's words, a wry smile appeared on Lu Sheng's face.

“Pay-to-win players go for technological modification, talented players go for cultivation, and only ordinary grinding players go for martial arts. It can be considered that they all have a bright future.”

“Moreover, the martial arts combat power can only be said to be mediocre. Apart from its tenacious vitality and survival rate far exceeding the other two paths, it is inferior to the other two paths in many aspects, and only improves after the fourth level.”

“Even the White Emperor, the peak of martial arts, is far inferior to the other two Galactic Lifeforms in terms of expressiveness.”

“Let’s not mention the Immortal, whose spiritual power covers most of the Milky Way. The Ascendant Lord’s body is the size of a star. The difference between Blue Star and the sun is 1.3 million times.”

“And the White Emperor, even in battle mode, is only the size of dozens of planets…”

Ding-ling-ling!

The bell rang for the end of class, Wang Zhen packed up his things and left the classroom, and a burst of noise rang out in the classroom.

Only Lu Sheng sat quietly in his seat, thinking.

“Since I’m here, I might as well settle down. Although this world is a bit dangerous and crazy, and martial arts feels a bit hopeless, at least I’ve awakened the panel…”

“First become a martial artist, and try to get into a martial arts school?”

Lu Sheng blinked.

The Human Federation has entered the Great Conquest Era. From the more than 1,000 planets colonized before, it has now soared to more than 10,000 habitable planets.

The population base has even reached a terrifying 90 quadrillion people.

And if Lu Sheng wants to stand out among such a huge population base, he can only embark on the path of martial arts, enter the Transcendent stage, and then enter a martial arts school!

“But wanting to enter a martial arts school is not that simple. I am now in the first semester of senior year. If I want to enter a martial arts school, I must become a Transcendent before the college entrance examination to have a chance.”

“This difficulty is not low, after all, in the class I am in now, only four people have become Transcendents.”

Lu Sheng's gaze swept across the classroom.

Among these four students who have become Transcendents, there is only one martial artist, one cultivator, and the remaining two are mechanical modifiers.

The proportion only accounts for one-tenth of the entire class, which seems very low, but if it is placed on a population base of 90 quadrillion, this number is very large.

Not to mention that there is still some time before the college entrance examination. During this time, there may be more Transcendents emerging.

Lu Sheng could already foresee how cruel the college entrance examination would be.

“Hiss!”

Thinking of that scene, Lu Sheng couldn't help but gasp and rub his temples.

“The difficulty is very high!”

“But fortunately, I have a cheat.”
