A gunshot. A bloodstained medal.
Ling Zhan, a decorated Chinese soldier, was shot in the head by his closest friend, "Poison Scorpion" Zhou Chen, at his medal ceremony. As he lay dying, he heard a devilish whisper: "The secret of the Origin is mine!"
He opened his eyes. A nightmare from the start.
He had been reborn as a worthless slave in the Blood Prison Mines of the Cangxuan Continent, his cultivation destroyed and the brand on his body searing into his bones. His enemy from his past life, Zhou Chen, had become a powerful warlord in this other world, while his enemy in this life, the "Bloodhand Marquis" Helian Xiong, wanted to grind him into dust.
The System awakened. Prove your Dao through killing!
At the brink of despair, the [War God Slaughter System] activated: kill vicious beasts, slay overseers, destroy your enemies! Every drop of blood became kindling for a surge in cultivation, and every brush with death forged a god-slaying combat technique unique to a decorated soldier!
From mining pick to divine halberd, from Blood Prison to the starry heavens!
He crushed the frontier fortress, became a shadow in the imperial capital, and fought the prodigies of Tianyan. When Helian Xiong's million-strong rebel army tore the empire apart, he charged through the ranks alone, piercing the warlord's throat amid a sea of soldiers!
The ultimate truth. The brothers' final showdown!
On the Turbulent Sea, "Blood Owl" Zhou Chen wielded corrupted power to unleash an apocalyptic tsunami. On the battlefield of the myriad worlds, the brothers faced each other from afar:
One hummed an old song beneath gold-rimmed glasses, his bloodstained suit as elegant as ever;
The other pointed his battle halberd at the stars, making them shatter. Behind him stood barbarian warriors who would entrust him with their lives, a genius intelligence operative, a master with a broken sword...
"This shot is for the day of my medal ceremony." Ling Zhan pulled the trigger. Behind him, the light of life and death across trillions of universes became a bullet: "And this shot is for the countless planes you devoured!"
To protect all living beings through slaughter and restore order through revenge: this is the ultimate meaning of the War God's return!
