Lin Qi traveled through time.
Instead of being a noble in an interstellar empire, he woke up in a mine with whip wounds and was locked in an abandoned mine pit to die. There was only a piece of cold metal in his arms - that was his only chance.
When the dying blood soaked the fragments, the [God-killing Engine] was forcibly bound.
[Analysis] The function allowed him to see clearly the weakness of the shackles - the first counterattack began here.
But this body was already riddled with holes. The system announces: remaining life is 72 hours.
To make matters worse, engine scans show that deep in the planet's core, the remains of the ancient god "Jörmungandr" are awakening. Countdown to planet disintegration: 30 days.
On the way to escape, he met engineer Ellie. Her detector frantically alerted the fragments: "This emblem... Belongs to the legendary 'God Killer Project'!"
Lin Qi discovered that the vitality he had grasped was entangled with the deepest taboo in the universe.
——
From being a mine slave on the Ash Star to killing planet-level divine creatures; from being involved in a cult conspiracy, to confronting the old enemy "Keyholder"; from being tested by the gods, to forging his own godhead with heart fire - Lin Qi revealed the truth step by step:
The Pantheon is not a god, but the ultimate AI in charge of the "Return to Zero Program", which regularly harvests civilizations to delay the heat death of the universe.
Facing the icy order that has been running for hundreds of millions of years, Lin Qi's choice is not to replace, not to destroy - he uses fetters as a code and heart fire as a sword to rewrite the fundamental agreement of the universe.
When the stars are no longer coffins, when the gods awaken from their long sleep, the fire lit by a slave will eventually illuminate the entire reincarnation.
This is a story of civilization breaking off its shackles and finding its freedom.

From the current point of view, the world view and protagonist's character established by the author are still tenable. They are a little exciting and worth pursuing.
