Wu Jing, the sole survivor of Earth's deep space program, is a hidden war god born with a deathless, essence-less constitution. After being abducted by a colossal alien warship, he faces the cruel torture of the alien patriarch and the gentle deception of the royal princess—yet he remains unyielding unto death. In the end, he turns the con on them, using an empty-shell genome to toy with the entire galaxy and utterly shatter the aliens' century-long scheme.
