Eighteen days before the launch of Devour the Heavens, Chen Yu was reborn, but not as a player. He was reborn as the ultimate BOSS in an online game where “death means real-life brain death,” destined to be mobbed by every player on the server.
While everyone else was scrambling for beta access, he awakened two systems at once: a player panel stacked with supreme talents, NPC privileges that granted ten times the stats, and a starting 10% Qilin bloodline that dealt ten times the damage.
The wolf king in the beginner village? At level 1, he took it down with ease. The server announcement sent everyone into an uproar: “[System]: Ultimate BOSS ‘Chen Yu’ has killed the beginner village BOSS. All players on the server receive... nothing!”
The players wanted to monopolize resources? He founded a faction called the Underworld and set a trap offering “experience for gold,” squeezing the top guild leaders’ coffers drier than their own faces.
A million-player army came to besiege him? He summoned his dragon-blooded little sister, Chen Ling, and led the Crimson Flame Dragon Legion in a dive, piling the “Holy See of Light” players’ tombstones from the beginner village all the way to the Dragon God dungeon.
It wasn't until then that the players discovered, weeping, that this BOSS could not only steal BOSSes and change the plot, but also bring his in-game abilities into reality! More terrifying still, the game Devour the Heavens they had fought tooth and nail to conquer wasn't a game at all. It was an alien civilization's consciousness-harvesting device, and this ultimate BOSS was carrying a Qilin-blood blade as he fought his way from the data world into reality, then trampled the Myriad Worlds underfoot, treating even the Creator God's divine status as upgrade material.
“Ding! Detecting mass player uninstalls?”
Chen Yu ran his fingers over the newly confiscated “Hourglass of Time” and smiled. “Don't rush. The next thing you have to conquer is your real world.”
Dare you say that dragons are descendants of unicorns😅
