Star Shield Base City, District 7. Eighteen-year-old Jiang Chen was found to have "zero affinity with stars" and was expelled in public. His fiancée tore up the marriage contract, and his sister was terminally ill and had no money for treatment. Pressed by triple desperation, he broke into the ruins of the restricted area with his dying sister in his arms, but was pierced by a black fragment in the palm of his hand——
"The star body devouring system is activated and the binding is successful."
From then on, Jiang Chen embarked on an evolutionary path that was different from everyone else. While others practice star energy, he devours all things. Steel, star power, the flesh and blood of alien beasts, genius cultivation, all energy can be turned into one's own use. When the Wang family, who had broken off their engagement, knelt down and begged for mercy, and when the powerful Star Kings of the Li family came to attack him, he only did one thing: swallow it.
But the devouring power doesn't come without a price. There is a shocking secret hidden deep in the system - the twelve base cities on the earth are the eyes of the ancient sealing formation. In the ruins of the restricted area sleeps a terrifying existence called the "Star Skeleton Egg", and his abilities are derived from the same origin as this egg.
The deeper truth lies beyond the stars: the energy system of the entire universe is built on the corpse of a fallen "god". Is the Devouring System in Jiang Chen's hand his legacy—or a trap?
From the loser of the earth to the overlord of the galaxy, he devoured everything along the way, uncovering the mystery of his life experience, ancient catastrophes, and the lies of the world. When the starry egg finally woke up and the top forces in the universe focused on this blue planet, Jiang Chen stood on the ruins, looked at his enemies kneeling on the ground, and said only one sentence:
"Get out of the way. What I want to eat is the egg."
