After 72 hours of open beta, a wildly popular interstellar online game turns into a death game that claims the lives of 4.5 billion people.
When a player's health reaches zero in the game, brainstem cells in reality simultaneously begin to die. Anyone forcibly ejected from their connection pod is guaranteed to die within ten seconds.
The world plunges into unimaginable panic. Some people break down and give up, some go on ruthless looting sprees, and some will stop at nothing to survive.
Ling Chen, a third-year student at Beijing Aerospace University, enters the game to uncover the truth behind his parents' "laboratory explosion" three years ago, only to be randomly assigned from the start to a death-level beginner spawn point.
Three players from his batch are instantly torn apart by alien insects and die permanently. He, too, is trapped in a corridor dead end, surrounded by more than a dozen monsters, with only basic white-grade equipment in hand and no hope of survival.
At the brink of life and death, he awakens the only god-tier talent on the entire server: [Infinite Evolution of Interstellar Equipment]!
A 100% success rate for equipment upgrades, perfect affixes locked in without loss, module fusion with no negative drawbacks, and even access to hidden interstellar evolution paths beyond the reach of ordinary players!
A basic white-grade battle blade evolves into a Starry Sky Force Holy Sword, while basic white-grade armor transforms into galaxy-class divine gear.
Elite bosses that others can't beat? He kills them with one slash! Rare materials that everyone else fights tooth and nail to get? He uses them as upgrade fodder!
From desperate survival amid the ruins of a death starship, to leading unaffiliated players on the beginner plains, and then becoming the interstellar emperor of an entire galaxy.
Ling Chen fights and kills his way forward, gradually uncovering the truth about his parents' deaths, only to stumble upon the shocking conspiracy of the Tianshu AI to exterminate humanity.
With the fate of all humanity resting on his shoulders, Ling Chen grips his ever-evolving battle blade:
"Tianshu wants to wipe out humanity? It can ask the blade in my hand first!"
