They say Knowledge is power. This was the truest fact; something Adam built his empire around. He wasn’t always this rich. He wasn’t always this powerful.

The starry sky under where his life turned anew, changing for eternity. Follow Adam’s Gospel; a young man juggling between different duties with only two goals. Becoming rich, growing powerful.

Loose cultivator Shi Lang gradually found himself in the realm of invincibility. However, when he finally tried to ascend to the higher realm, the spirit of the world was nearly exhausted. So, between his ascension to a new world or the well-being of his home, he chose the latter and sacrificed his life to save the world. Nobody knew what he gave up for the world, and he told no one. Although his sacrifice had gone unsung, there was still someone who witnessed everything. A treasured artifact he carried on his body preserved his soul and let it escape a tragic end. Eons passed. The human race stepped out from the age of cultivation into an age of stellar conquest. The spirit energy in the world was now scarce, but humans found other means to excel. In this highly-advanced time, Shi Lang's soul has found a chance to be reborn. What happens when an ancient cultivator that neared the level of a deity before his first death gets a second chance at life in the space age?
The Strongest Magic meets the Mightiest Mecha. I have stolen Golden Mechas from the deepest vaults of the most tightly guarded fortresses in the world. I have personally destroyed more armies than the top three superpowers have in the span of the Absolute War - combined. I burned down the terrorist megacity of Habon. I was expelled from the Union of Heroes at a younger age than people are allowed in. I have talked to Ancient Gods, loved women, and devoured mechas that would make superpowers cringe in fear. I have faced demons head on in moonless nights others fear to speak of during the day. I am deified in a thousand cultures, and labelled as the devil incarnate in the rest. I am the Mecha Emperor. You may have heard of me. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Excerpt from Chapter 1 This is where it all began. A junkyard. Oh no, this isn't your clean, mechas-only junkyard that was the 'starting point' of many mecha geniuses out there. I have seen and heard my share of rags-to-riches stories, and many of them claimed that they had started from 'junkyards' and slowly grew to be where they were right now. From Zero to Hero, they declared. You can do it too, they said. As long as you work hard, everything is possible, they claimed. I call bullshit. Life doesn't work like that.
Five hundred years into the future, animals and plants had mutated into powerful beasts which endangered the human species. To deal with the situation, the Federal government decided to build academies dedicated to mecha piloting. It marked the beginning of the Mecha Age. With the help of the mechas, humans would gain the power to fight on equal terms with the beasts. Years later, Peter was recruited by one of the mecha academies. He thought that would be his path to become a successful pilot. However, due to some circumstances, he was only able to choose another course… The Genetic Warrior course. As the world was invested in mechas, everyone knew that there was no future for a Genetic Warrior. The basic concept the circled around Earth was that a human could never defeat a beast without the mecha’s help. Fortunately, Peter managed to activate a special Divine-Grade Genetic Extraction System. “Ding! Ant genes detected. Extraction in progress…” “Ding! Extraction successful. Your strength has been increased by 100 times.” “Ding! Grasshopper genes detected. Extraction in progress…” “Ding! Extraction successful. Your leaping ability has been increased by 100 times.” “Ding! Eagle genes detected. Extraction in progress…” “Ding! Extraction successful. Your vision has been increased by 100 times.” “Ding! Thunder God genes detected. Extraction in progress…” On that fateful day, a mighty Genetic Warrior was born. He was able to deflect a missile with his flesh and punch a hole in any mecha. He could even destroy a whole planet if he wanted to.
