Fifteen years into the apocalypse, Zhang Ze reached the pinnacle of power on Earth as a Seventh-Rank Emperor. He risked his life to protect humanity, bathing in blood as he suppressed the alien beasts of countless races.
Yet in the end, he did not die amid tides of corpses and beasts. The leaders of humanity, the very people he had given his life to protect, betrayed and ambushed him, stealing his opportunities, shattering his foundations, and leaving him to die with hatred in his heart.
At the moment of death, Zhang Ze finally understood: the most poisonous thing in the apocalypse had never been the alien beasts. It was the human heart.
Reborn in an instant, he returns to thirty days before the apocalypse begins.
This time, mercy is over and kindness is cast aside!
He awakens the universe’s supreme golden finger, the Mechanical Core. It can devour all machines, rebuild warships, command the Great Path of Technology, and evolve without limit!
He stockpiles every resource in the world, forges an impregnable fortress, and gathers the twelve battle gods who shared life and death with him in his previous life, forming the apocalypse’s only supreme team with no weaknesses!
The ignorant can live or die as they please; it has nothing to do with him. He won’t save a single ungrateful wretch, and anyone who dares to so much as touch him will be killed without mercy!
Rising from the ruins of the apocalypse, he sweeps aside humanity’s warring factions, settles accounts with every enemy from his previous life, ends the catastrophe threatening Earth’s species, and ascends to become an Emperor unparalleled through the ages!
When Earth’s spiritual energy runs dry, he pilots an interstellar warship beyond the firmament and ventures into the boundless sea of stars.
He uncovers the conspiracy behind an apocalyptic experiment conducted by alien civilizations, commands the mechanical laws of space and time, wages war across countless star regions, and crushes alien races throughout the heavens!
In my previous life, humanity betrayed me. In this life, I shall rule the heavens!
With the Twelve Emperors at his side, he journeys across the stars, shatters the myriad laws, and commands the stellar seas, becoming the supreme Mechanical Emperor whose power spans the universe!
