Her parents had barely passed away when her second uncle, Chen Defu, showed his true colors.
“Xiao Jin, forget about joining the Martial Academy. Your body couldn’t take it.”
He sighed with feigned sympathy, then handed him a conscription order for slave labor at a mining planet.
The front lines?
No!
This was a death mine, even more brutal than the front lines!
Blood Scorpion Star, a place that devoured people without even spitting out the bones.
His second uncle’s family had it all planned out: squeeze every last bit of value out of him, collect the compensation, and swallow the Chen family’s business. They couldn’t be happier.
What they didn’t know was that Chen Jin had just awakened the Star-Devouring Energy System!
Devour energy? Then grow stronger without limit!
Flesh, ore, monster cores... even the energy of an enemy’s attacks, he could devour it all!
Sending him off to be a mine slave? They might as well have sent him down the path to invincibility!
A year later, a mining disaster erupted on Blood Scorpion Star.
As a horde of savage star beasts flooded the tunnels, the desperate miners could only wait to die.
But a figure emerged from the deepest part of the mine.
Energy blazed into the sky as he tore the beast king apart with his bare hands!
Watching the starship surveillance footage, a high-ranking military officer leaped to his feet. “Who is that?!”
Chen Jin’s name instantly set the stars ablaze.
Meanwhile, Chen Defu’s family were raising their glasses to celebrate their imminent inheritance.
An urgent news alert flashed across their brain-computer, its headline impossible to miss:
“Blood Scorpion Star’s Savior Revealed! Young War God Chen Jin!”
Their glasses clattered to the floor.
Chen Defu’s face turned white as paper. “Chen Jin... He’s alive? And he’s become... a War God?”
Their dreams of wealth and status shattered.
Chen Jin’s icy whisper seemed to pierce the screen. “Second Uncle, it’s time to settle accounts.
Everything you took, I’ll make you repay with interest. With your lives!”
