Lin Feng, once a mecha prodigy at an interstellar academy, is framed alongside his family in the "Star Core Theft" case and reduced to a mining slave at the mine on "Waste Planet-739." During a crisis involving a mine tunnel collapse and a star core leak, he accidentally comes into contact with star core waste and awakens the "Star Core War God System," gaining abilities such as enhanced physique and star core perception. From then on, he escapes the fate of being at others' mercy.
After awakening, Lin Feng kills alien beasts to accumulate star core energy, outwits the supervisors hunting him and seizes their weapons. He also meets Zhao Kun, a former Federation engineer, in an abandoned warehouse. The two strike a deal: Lin Feng uses star core energy to repair Zhao Kun's damaged mechanical arm, while Zhao Kun modifies an abandoned mining cart to help him escape the planet.
They secretly prepare to flee, but their plans draw the attention of the mining operation's cyborg manager. At the crucial moment, the long-oppressed mine slaves rise up in revolt, giving the two a chance to break out in the modified cart. In a deadly fight with the manager, Lin Feng uses his System and his wits to kill him and claim a basic star core engine. Just as the cart is about to break through the planet's atmosphere, Lin Feng senses the energy signature of a Federation patrol ship. A new crisis has arrived.
