Slaying Gods Begins with Devouring Them

Cangnan fell, and Shen Yuan, a sophomore who'd flunked two classes, became the lowest-ranked “Wild God.” His domain was a ruined brick kiln, and his only believer was a toad.

At his darkest hour, the [Devouring Log System] bonded with him. Every time he ate a god, a panel appeared showing what he'd gained. No quests, just his own initiative. And so he began his all-you-can-eat journey of “scavenge corpses → devour → grow stronger.”

Along the way, he picked up Yun Jin, a sharp-tongued, cold-faced senior from the medical school with a gift for healing. They bickered and sabotaged each other, eventually going from temporary teammates to “the most important person” in each other's lives.

The number of underlings at the ruined brick kiln kept growing. He took in wandering minor gods, as well as the lingering souls of characters from the original story who'd met tragic ends: Zhao Kongcheng's will to protect became that of a guardian instructor; Xia Simeng's phoenix bloodline was reborn from the ashes; Leng Xuan and Si Xiaonan's souls reunited; and Wu Xiangnan's sword intent became a sword tomb where people could come to pay their respects...

He went from a lone wolf to the master of the “Taotie Celestial Court.” Among the Four Heavenly Kings were a toad, a Night Watcher, a baby phoenix, and an assassin.

In the final battle, he devoured the ancient Devourer's true form, along with the memories and obsessions of dozens of gods. “Remember to wipe your mouth when you're done eating.” Those were the last words of the first Host.

After the battle, he took down the Celestial Court plaque and replaced it with one that read “Wild God Canteen.” Lin Qiye came for a meal. “Isn't it heavy, carrying so many people's memories?” Shen Yuan replied, “It is. But I've already eaten them. I can't exactly spit them back out.”

Food's ready. Who's next?
