Planet Earth. Year 2021

The moon gauze draped over the mountainside where a particular unnoteworthy house lied desolately amidst the verdant bushes and tall trees.

Lights were turned off except the lucent light glowing inside the living room.

If one observed through the open window, one could see a silhouette of a young man eating some chips while watching the report news on the television.

[America launched an intimidating attack and dropped a powerful atomic bomb on Russia's grounds.]

[The China had declared martial law and promptly stated they're going to participate in this fierce war.]

[Based on each large country's domineering actions, there is a high chance World War III is coming.]

Grabbing the remote, Chao Tianzhu somberly turned the television off while he lay down on his sofa with a helpless rage, fists clenching tightly.

Two months ago, his father had participated in a deadly skirmish which resulted for his death. His mother had also died of lethal illness long ago after he was just born. As such, he was now parentless with only himself to depend on. All of those contributed to the tragic fate of this world.

*Rumble*

Suddenly, the earth trembled and the utensils on the table dropped one by one. Looking through the glass windows, a white dot could be seen rapidly enlarging in his vision.

*Boom*

The unknown thing smashed at his home with fierce momentum.

Stones and rubbles flew in all directions as dust enveloped the ruined area.

A grunt could be heard and a broken wall was shifted to the side before Chao Shen stood up with heavy breaths.

"Huff Huff"

He almost died and that extreme fight turned him dull. Luckily, he was injured slightly with only tears and scratches present.

As the dust dispersed, there was a white flickering flame in the middle of the explosion, weakly burning without something to burn onto.

It looked pure as snow and exuded a pure regal air, both majestic and sublime.

For some reason, Chao Tianzhu was irresistibly drawn and he approached nearer.

As their distance inched closer, the white flame burned fiercer and seemingly cackling in joy.

When he reached his hand into it, an ocean of memories instantly flooded his mind and his eyes turned blank.

It started from how a certain child stubbornly grew up in an intense and difficult environment, came to possess the Dark Progenitor's will, defied the heavens, initiated a universal-scale war, released the seal of his benefactor, and finally used his remaining power to commit suicide and powerfully blasted away his soul flame to eternally drift in space until a successor would be found to uphold both their will, the Dark Progenitor's and his' as the Sin of Gluttony.

It was a direct connection from two powerful Sovereigns from the Primordial Era and the Ancient era respectively with an aim to exterminate all living beings, destroy all matter, and build everything from scratch.

From the infinite amount of people in the entire universe, he was the chosen one.

After the transition finally completed, Chao Tianzhu emitted a strong shockwave that powerfully blew everything in its path.

His gaze became piercingly sharp and contained hidden killing intent.

This malicious intent could only be naturally made when one's hands had been soaked by an endless river of blood and when one had drowned in an enormous mountain of bones.

Immediately, the atmosphere became freezingly biting and the leaves even started to be encased in ice. It was truly a shocking scene!

"I am back."

*Boom* He only spoke a single sentence and a lightning strike descended to celebrate his resurrection, accompanied by reverberating sounds of thunder.

He was totally a different person from the past Chao Tianzhu including his temperament and personality.

Then he heard increasingly loud police sirens and policemen came later to investigate the area.

"May I beseech you to tell the situation here?"

Fortunately, Chao Tianzhu had no neighbors that may express his secrets.

"I can't tell what exactly transpired as I happened to be sleeping before this destruction occurs."

The policeman was filled with doubt but as he was unable to extract any information out of him, he gave up.

As a supreme being, material things such as money and house held no meaning at all. Power and strength were what mattered especially in this violent world.

This meant that every breath he took, someone would die in some place. Neither he could tolerate and prolong it even if it meant sacrificing something or someone for the greater good.

"Uncle [1], can I request something from you?" Chao Tianzhu asked.

"What?" The policemen stared at him.

"Please be my sacrifice."

An evil grin formed on Chao Tianzhu's lips.

Without warning, a delicate hand came grabbing toward the policeman's head. It appeared very gentle but as it made contact, suction power emanated from it.

He could only struggle for three seconds before he was absorbed in body and soul!

"Leader!..."

Terrified eyes immediately landed on Chao Tianzhu's fragile yet extremely dangerous figure.

After the consumption, his strength drastically increased and a mysterious aura exuded from him.

First Phase: MORTALITY – Body Tempering Realm

Early-stage Strength Training

The policemen felt the crisis and instinctively, they cocked their guns and hurriedly shot their bullets at him.

But possessing the souls of two mighty sovereigns, Chao Tianzhu was armed with boundless experience. There were sixteen gunshots but he moved like a leaf, evading them with great ease.

The police were extremely shocked because no one would be able to survive at that perilous situation yet he was unscathed.

Then with swift steps, he gave two smooth palms attacks and sent two policemen flying over while he gripped the neck of the last one.

The natural outcome was of course death by absorption. He couldn't resist at all!

One of the two severely injured policemen threw up his innards and looked at Chao Tianzhu with terrified eyes.

"What really are you?"

King smirked at such question as he casually answered.

"Me? I'm the God of Death."

That's no false statement at all! Created by the cosmic powers of True Mother, he as the spirit of the Heavenly Dao of Death was in fact an Ultimate God while being also the Sin of Gluttony, he is the wielder of many souls.

In quick speed, he assaulted again and finished them by sucking their entire existence out.

Middle-stage Strength Training

*Crackle**Pop*

Clenching his fists, powerful strength could be sensed surging from it while a red light brushed past Chao Tianzhu's eyes.

The humans were akin to a disease living in rampant not only in this particular world but also the limitless and encompassing universe outside. The only salvation would be extermination by death and life rebuild. But his past life as the Sin of Gluttony made him realize how precious life was. Although the goal was still at utmost importance, it didn't need to be extreme.

The universe only required to be partially cleansed by half and then establish a rightful monarch. The only one worthy of the seat was corollary him, one who had sinned before, therefore knew and understood it better than anyone.

Biting his thumb finger, blood spilled out while he used it to draw an extremely complicated formation circle.

Standing at its center, he performed abstruse hand seals and spoke incomprehensible incantations before shouting.

"Myriad Souls Separation"

His figure blurred and four additional Chao Tianzhu's appeared, perfectly having the same features, aura and presence.

The number of souls the technique could produce was relative to the amount of souls Chao Tianzhu absorbed and right now, he only sucked four policemen's souls in total.

If one looked at them, no one could distinguish who was the true original Chao Tianzhu.

However, the drawback of the technique was his cultivation base had been equally divided into four and each Chao Tianzhu currently possessed Early-stage Strength Training.

Yet, they had enough power to easily crack a skull with a simple fist attack.

Instantly, three figures flashed and disappeared, leaving only a single Chao Tianzhu.

His hands pocketed lazily inside his pocket, a habit earned from his experience in this world, the young and ignorant him before he accepted the soul flame.

As his home was situated in the mountain side, he could peer above the trees' canopies and watch the scintillating dots of colorful lights glowing brightly under the night sky.

Taking a leisure walk in its direction, his destination was already set.

He'll start first in the city before he would reach his hand to conquer the rest of the world.

His conquest towards the highest heaven, the boundless earth, and the tenebrous hell had officially begun!

It would be the heaven-shaking earth-shattering return of the terrifying Primordial God, the "Dark Progenitor" and the terror-inducing sacred ancient, the legendary "Sin of Gluttony".

Their will had finally become alive again to bring a devastating apocalypse and doom in the entire universe, all for the sake of the continuation of life.
