When Earth is engulfed by the death rules of the “Nine Heavens Broadcast,” humanity becomes pawns in a divine game of chance, and Jiang Jin emerges as its maddest breaker. This former interstellar archaeologist is strapped to a crystal-stone execution platform. The judge pronounces him guilty of devouring the “Taboo of the Moon” and deserving of death.
At the brink of death, a crazed System erupts in his mind: [Madness: 250%. Devourer form unlocked!] He tears apart his chains and swallows the executioner alive. His crystalized right arm pierces the judge’s skull, and survivors around the world witness the bloody reversal on the live broadcast. To suppress the crystallization of his body, Jiang Jin is forced to enter the “Calamity Games,” a death match designed by the gods.
The madder he gets, the stronger he becomes. When his madness reaches 1000%, he even pins the divine consciousness “Yinghuo” inside his sea of consciousness and beats it senseless. “You want to parasitize me? Pay rent first!” The double-faced Saintess Lu Zhaoxue is his most dangerous ally. By day, she is a healer who saves all beings; by night, she transforms into the “Nine-Tailed Blood Wraith” and hunts down rule-breakers.
Meanwhile, the deified cyborg Cheng Wujiu always trains his god-slaying cannon on Jiang Jin’s temple whenever he devours a rule. “Touch the stellar core energy again, and I’ll feed you to the crystal zombie horde!” The most insane wager unfolds at the Rift of Guixu.
Jiang Jin is 99% crystalized, yet still has the God of War by the throat, gnawing on his divine body. Behind him, a million crystal zombies turn on the heavens as one. When the Eclipse Mother Body detonates its core, taking itself and its enemy down together, the Nine Heavens Broadcast announces the final result: [Calamity Games concluded. Winner: Human Jiang Jin].
Three years later, the blood moon appears again. Lu Zhaoxue strokes her belly and touches the crystal stele. His final words are carved into it: “On the day the rules restart, I’ll kill my way back from the edge of the universe.”
