Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sequence Level 1 — Glutton | 2 | Awakens a sequence ability. His mental condition improves, and muscle definition appears on his previously starved arms. |
| Initial growth through God Remains | 4 | Blood Drink allows him to digest discarded remains. Strength, agility, perception, and fine control improve, although the small gains do not appear on his panel. |
| Sequence Level 2 — Greedy Rogue | 6 | Advances after nearly finishing the remains in three dumpsters. Gains Violence, tripling strength, agility, and durability for ten minutes while removing pain. |
| Permanent capability enhancement | 60 | Activates Dueling Medal while Violence is active. Briefly reaches six times his previous capabilities and retains roughly fourfold strength and agility after Violence ends. |
| Sequence Level 5 | 239 | Advancement strengthens his skin, muscles, and bones without reducing agility. His hearing and vision sharpen substantially. |
| Origin Sequence awakening | 558 | Blood Drink becomes Efficient Blood Drink; Violence becomes stackable Origin Violence; Dueling Medal becomes Dueling Glory. His skills receive broad upgrades. |
| Sequence Level 6, revealed to Hong Liang | 575 576 | Hong discovers that Qin advanced two days earlier. Qin’s speed removes Hong’s expected level advantage; the encounter also tests Qin’s newly awakened Origin Sequence. |
| Sustained consumption gains | 587 | Eats more than 100,000 kilograms of ordinary God Remains during four days of seclusion. Physical strength increases by about 30% and most skills by roughly 3%; Taste of Deification does not improve. |
| Origin Sequence Level 2 — Profane Feast Officiant | 946 | Swallows primordial starshine while almost dead and revives. Gains stronger physical enhancements and Profane Feast, which resets eligible cooldowns for himself and an ally. |
| Second primordial starshine | 1086 | No realm breakthrough, but one Origin Violence activation reaches a fivefold strength boost, three reach fifteenfold, and Feast Kingdom’s movement range exceeds 180 meters. |
| Nine primordial starshines accumulated | 1137 | Consuming six additional starshines raises his strength to nearly three times its previous value. He remains at Origin Sequence Level Two. |
| Origin Sequence Level 3 — Whole-Hog Sacrifice | 1241 | Strength increases severalfold. Supersonic Blood Drink triples Path of Self-Verification paving efficiency; Feast Kingdom gains one obstacle exchange before obstruction can end the skill. |
| Large-God material consumption | 1316 1318 | Eating the Skywalking Lion-Eagle’s Feather Blade produces further growth. Base strength triples, skills improve, and his Path of Self-Verification exceeds an estimated 10,000 meters. |
| Origin Sequence Level 4 — Name-Devouring Candidate | 1393 1394 | Refines his fiftieth primordial starshine through repeated near-fatal harvesting and revival. Unenhanced physical strength increases about fivefold; gains Bloodthirst, Dueling Faith, and the fused Origin Rampage Banquet Field. |
| Origin Sequence Level 5 | 1460 | Physical strength and speed increase fivefold. Existing skills improve, but he receives neither a new skill nor another fusion ability. |
| Domain Sequence Level 1 | 1706 | After killing Ram, his golden Path of Self-Verification folds and fuses into a domain. His body undergoes complete renewal; the panel briefly announces Level One before updating again. |
| Domain Sequence Level 2 — Rivers and Mountains Feaster | 1706 1707 | Immediately follows Level One. Gains Blood Chef, Domain Banquet Order, and the permanent Domain Master skill Mountain and River Feast. |
| Dueling Faith enhancement and succession verification | 1736 | Stacks medicines, a copied strength skill, and Domain Banquet Order before using Dueling Faith. His attributes double, but the system initiates a succession verification and warns that failure will reclaim the benefit. |
| Domain Sequence Level 3 — Rivers and Mountains Banquet Host | 1808 | Advances after passing fifteen Large Gods’ Succession Trials. Feels roughly fifty times stronger and gains Island Fire God-Cooking; insufficient God consumption prevents his expected jump directly to Level Four. |
| Domain Sequence Level 4 — Mountain-River Cauldron Lord | 1822 | Breaks through while cooking and eating God Remains. Gains finer sensory control, stronger domain abilities, and Domain Summoning through an established domain contract. |
| Domain Sequence Level 5 — Mountain and River Banquet Sovereign | 1909 1910 | Feels a physical increase exceeding one hundredfold, which he suspects is partly caused by acquiring a domain rather than leveling alone. Existing skills at least double; gains Banquet Edict and Edict of Consumption. |
| Continued growth at Domain Level 5 | 1915 | Over three months, grows faster than companions advancing to new levels. His digestion of Patterned Fox flesh accelerates from several minutes to seconds without a corresponding panel change. |
Background / History
Qin Siyang was orphaned young and endured hunger, inadequate clothing, and school bullying. Ju'an School offered little useful education about Sequence Ability Users, leaving him unable to see a route out of poverty. Teacher Zhu reserved the library’s work-study position for him, while government-provided school meals helped keep him alive 3 4 74 1259 1732.
He is explicitly described as having been reborn, and later recalls memories from a previous life. The supplied material does not explain that life or the circumstances of his rebirth 18 42 777.
Awakening God Eater gives him his first practical means of changing his circumstances. Unable to afford internet access or safely hunt Gods, he initially grows stronger by secretly eating discarded remains. He avoids approaching the Sequence Ability Management Bureau until he better understands an ability whose exposure could endanger him 2 4 6.
His early ascent depends on reciprocal arrangements rather than inherited backing. Qian Wendao helps with sequence registration, Li Tianming assists his hunting, and Zhao Longfei offers exceptional university privileges. Qin repays them through political support, rare research materials, and commercial opportunities 1062.
Appearance
- Early physique: Initially gaunt and visibly underfed; sequence awakening produces muscle definition in his arms, followed by increasingly defined chest and abdominal muscles 2 6.
- Ordinary first impression: Students remark that his face does not reveal his extraordinary capabilities, and many know his name without recognizing him 437 461.
- Hunting attire: Wears black armor and a translucent helmet during an openly announced expedition beyond the Safe Zone 343.
- Domain transformations: Golden blood, crimson firelight, and fine red markings within his bones appear during later breakthroughs; these are internal changes rather than a consistently described outward appearance 1808.
Personality
Qin is cautious about information and unusually attentive to evidence. Before acting against Liu Dazhi, he repeatedly verifies the absence of surveillance footage and tests whether his opponent is bluffing. He later refuses to let Qin Yingguang turn an unverifiable rescue claim into repeated demands for resources 16 375.
His friendships often begin as bargains. He consciously follows three steps: demonstrate value, offer an exchange of benefits, and deepen cooperation. Those arrangements can become genuine loyalty: he challenges officials over Qian Wendao’s detention and repeatedly takes practical steps to protect Wen Shu 104 405 1062.
Humor, vanity, and insecurity coexist with his calculating side. He enjoys praise, banters with powerful elders, becomes jealous when Gu Yunpeng’s looks are praised, and resents Yu Yongyou’s condescending remarks about poverty 225 923 1002.
His ruthlessness is selective but severe. He arranges enemies’ deaths, enables subordinates to take revenge, and kills Qianru after treating her silence as evidence of a hostile operation, although her exact motives and backers remain unconfirmed. Conversely, he honors contracts when their importance is explained and publicly gives Xiao Zhigang’s surviving family a way forward 532 1051 1356 1358 1732.
As his influence grows, Qin increasingly thinks about soldiers, institutions, and collective survival rather than only personal escape. He rejects the idea that other people exist to fulfill his destiny and eventually judges technology and unity to be potentially more important than individual strength 1349 1910.
Abilities & Skills
God Consumption
| Version | Documented Effect |
|---|---|
| Blood Drink | Digests Gods even when eaten raw; initially causes painful surges while strengthening his body 4 6. |
| Efficient Blood Drink | Doubles the improvement gained from the same God Remains 558. |
| Supersonic Blood Drink | Triples the efficiency of paving his Path of Self-Verification 1241. |
| Bloodthirst | Makes God digestion ten times more effective 1394. |
| Blood Chef — Domain Level 3 | Gives 150 times the normal improvement from raw Gods; cooking doubles the effect 1808. |
| Blood Chef — Domain Level 4 | Raises raw-God improvement to 200 times the normal rate; cooking again doubles it 1822. |
- Eating divine remains does not initially satisfy his ordinary hunger 4.
- Rare materials such as titan reed can improve him, but he decides their small gains do not justify consuming valuable trade resources 587.
- Large-God material can strengthen both his body and skills without an immediate realm breakthrough 1316 1318.
- Digestive capacity itself appears to improve with repeated consumption, even when his panel does not record the change 1915.
Violence and Its Successors
Qin’s principal combat enhancement develops from a short-duration physical boost into a combined personal enhancement, enemy suppression, and cooldown-reset field 6 558 1394 1707.
| Ability | Effects and Limits |
|---|---|
| Violence | Triples strength, agility, and physical durability for ten minutes; removes pain during activation 6. |
| Origin Violence | Allows stacked activations. Its multiplier and available activations improve as Qin grows stronger 558 1086 1241. |
| Origin Rampage Banquet Field | Fusion of Origin Violence Field and Profane Feast. At Origin Level Four, boosts physical attributes to 82.97 times normal for 122 minutes, ignores pain and mental shocks, and reduces one enemy’s attributes by 21.74% within 524 meters 1394. |
| Domain Banquet Order | Boosts Qin, suppresses a designated enemy’s skills, and resets nearby allies’ cooldowns. At Domain Level Four, lasts twelve hours and can reset Qin’s skills and those of twenty nearby allies 1707 1822. |
- Origin Rampage Banquet Field has an eight-hour cooldown; its activation resets qualifying skills with cooldowns of no more than eight hours for Qin and one nearby ally 1394.
- At Domain Level Two, Domain Banquet Order weakens the designated enemy’s skill effects by one Sequence Level 1707.
- Cauldron Banquet provides one additional skill-cooldown reset within his territory at Domain Level Four 1822.
Dueling Enhancements
- Dueling Medal: Doubles current capabilities. Activating it during Violence produces a larger lasting enhancement than Qin expects from using it alone 60.
- Dueling Glory: Retains the capability increase and adds a skill-enhancement function 558.
- Dueling Faith: After killing a God, permanently doubles current non-skill capabilities and refreshes through succession 1394 1736.
- Qin stacks medicines and other enhancements before activating Dueling Faith to maximize its effect. The later succession verification shows that its benefit can be conditional and reclaimed upon failure 1736.
Feast Kingdom
Feast Kingdom provides rapid teleportation associated with consuming God Remains. Its range and ability to handle occupied destinations improve across successive realms 946 990 1241 1707.
- Early limitation: Attempting to teleport into an obstacle ends the skill immediately; the documented version has a five-minute cooldown 558.
- Origin Level Three: Can exchange places with an obstacle on the first obstructed teleportation; a second obstructed destination ends the skill 1241.
- Domain Level Two: Can exchange places with obstacles or living creatures, with no teleportation distance limit inside his territory 1707.
- Later domain versions: Gain greater reach and increasingly smooth awareness of usable teleportation footholds; Rivers and Mountains Feast Kingdom retains unlimited range within his ruled territory 1808 1822.
Taste of Deification / Taste of Godhood
Licking a God grants Qin a limited number of opportunities to use that God’s skills. Later versions increase both the number of uses and their possible strength 558 1394 1822.
- Initial documented version: Permanently gains three opportunities to activate the licked God’s skills; power depends on his overall capabilities 558.
- Domain Level Four: Grants twelve uses, with effects potentially reaching twenty times their normal strength 1822.
- Strength amplification: Copies the Sacrificial Giant Vine’s Mighty Vine Strength, also rendered Vines Giant Strength, and combines it with his own enhancement field 1262 1494 1736.
- Other applications: Summons Red Sand Wasps and gains Shadow Body Splitting after consuming the Shadow-Splitting Giant Python 553 632.
- Source ceiling: He concludes that Medium-God skills cannot scale indefinitely once he becomes stronger than their original owners. Shadow Body Splitting supplies only two shadow bodies lasting twelve hours 632.
Domain Master Abilities
| Ability | Effect |
|---|---|
| Mountain and River Feast | At Domain Level Two, reduces Outsiders’ physical attributes to one-thousandth when they fight local people on the locals’ home ground. Remains a major territorial defense at Level Five 1707 1910. |
| Island Fire God-Cooking | Uses his domain’s fire to cook God Remains, making their power easier to absorb and potentially extracting Divine Feast Fragrance that others can absorb 1808. |
| Domain Summoning | Appears after a domain contract is established during his Level Four breakthrough; its detailed operation is not supplied 1822. |
| Banquet Edict | Allows chosen ones and domain-born allies to enhance their skills tenfold within his domains 1910. |
| Edict of Consumption | Weakens an injured target’s selected power by one percent while restoring Qin through the drained energy 1910. |
- His domain connection increasingly improves movement, recovery, and control within his territory 1808.
- He can move an island and considers combining this with troop-enhancing abilities for coordinated mass attacks 1910.
- He suspects that sequence abilities adapt to their owner’s circumstances, particularly his possession of Fire Island 1808 1910.
Physical Combat and Perception
- Prefers decisive opening attacks: activates enhancements together and attempts to end a fight with solid punches or kicks rather than prolonged exchanges 1188.
- Crushes Hua Weiguang’s Tier Four Armor with one punch and breaks Professor Ma Shi’s Tier Four shield with three kicks 883 922.
- Kills four Sequence Level Six enemies within seconds through a combination of physical attacks and Feast Kingdom 990.
- Repeated breakthroughs improve speed, hearing, vision, durability, and bodily control. Domain Level Four lets him filter unwanted sensory information rather than merely perceive more 239 1393 1822.
Resource Production and Organization
- Extracts Sequence Potions from Gods’ disc carapaces. He finds that urination produces the same yield as kowtowing and uses it as the faster method 712.
- Funds researchers and links their production to commercial outlets, using Li Tianming, Yang Guanglie, Quan Taibin, and the Research Hall to support his army’s finances 1366.
- Uses lie detection, private conversations, cover identities, and trusted intermediaries to protect allies and screen recruits 615 1031 1283.
- Orders troops serving under different official banners to eat, live, and train together, preventing internal divisions 1030.
Documented Weaknesses
- Believer-path suppression can neutralize much of an attack’s effect without visibly reducing his underlying physical strength 552.
- Conductive duskshadow-iron armor leaves him vulnerable to Chang Tianxiong’s tailored lightning weapon; limited teleportation range initially prevents easy escape 552.
- Stronger opponents can overwhelm his mobility through mental attacks, area coverage, or simultaneous attacks from multiple directions 946 1188.
- At Origin Level Five, he still considers his options against mental and ranged attacks inadequate despite overwhelming physical force 1460.
- Weapons and armor have material limits: the Tier Four Heaven-Splitting Halberd cannot damage a Wushan Armored Wolf’s carapace, and venom corrodes his armor during a later hunt 587 632.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- God-Hunting Dagger — Used to harvest disc carapaces. One dagger snaps against a Wushan Armored Wolf’s carapace 60 587.
- Short Hornet Dagger — One of the Tier Two God-Hunting Artifacts he obtains alongside Red Silk Armor 210.
- Red Silk Armor — Forged by Zhong Dingming from Ironstone Silkworm silk and Wind-Sheltering Seagrass. Resists temperatures from −100°C to 200°C, strong acids and bases, and a Level Three Warrior’s full-power attack; its mesh filters Small-God and most Medium-God toxins 210.
- Heaven-Splitting Halberd — Tier Four weapon whose size can change. Qin uses it for repeated teleport-assisted strikes and to block Hong Liang’s Crimson Bullet 552 575 587.
- Tier Four armor — Equips newly made armor while evading Hong Liang’s attacks. A later set is badly corroded during Medium-God hunting 575 632.
- Pure-Brightness Bracelet — Tier Four artifact that briefly threatens Chang Tianxiong before shattering 552.
- Tier Three Isolation Shields — Uses five against Chang Tianxiong’s lightning; three are destroyed during the documented exchange 553.
- Sequence-identification ring — Given by Wu Yu and used to inspect Chang Tianxiong’s sequence and abilities 551.
- Tier Six Long Spear / Godslayer Spear — Previously wielded in Short Club form; its original spear form becomes effortless to handle after Origin Level Three. Biological ore later improves its responsiveness and estimated attack power to more than twice its original level 1242 1434 1872.
- Storage Boxes — Carry weapons, medicines, remains, and valuables. Qin leaves a dozen labeled boxes with Zhao Sifang before a dangerous operation 551 936.
- Crimson Crystals — Valuable resources used for research, gifts, political bargains, and artifact trades. Qin secretly forms blood pacts with crystals while traveling as Liu Dazhi 196 376 388.
- Healing and enhancement medicines — Includes Precision Potion, protective medicines, Chen Fenghe’s Powerful Burn Ointment, and Junior Healing Artifacts. His supplies regenerate Ban Dingyuan’s missing limbs, restore Wang Xutai’s eye, and keep Li Qinghui alive 551 575 764 1295 1630.
- Drill Pod / Capsule Pod — Transport used for wasteland travel and expeditions beyond the Safe Zone 632 1366 1393.
- Spatial Artifact — Carries more than one hundred thousand troops during his visit to Patterned Fox Village 1872.
Relationships
- Wen Shu — Close companion whose safety and feelings strongly influence him. He arranges her relocation, gives her library access, and objects to rumors that could upset her; she repeatedly worries about his risks 405 433 756.
- Li Tianming — Hunting partner, mentor, confidant, Insurance Provider, and godfather. Their early relationship includes concealed strength and Li’s envy, but develops into fierce protection and trust. Li later helps revive Qin during dangerous advancement attempts 60 74 480 766 1393.
- Zhao Longfei — Patron, mentor, and close political ally. Grants Qin university privileges and commercial standing, teaches him about leadership, protects him from coercion, and frequently bargains or manipulates him in return 433 443 756 799 1062.
- Zhao Longteng — Zhao family elder and collaborator whom Qin addresses as “Elder Uncle Zhao.” Supports his military establishment and recruitment 820 1311.
- Zhao Sifang — Trusted friend who calls him “Brother Qin.” Qin saves his life, helps his standing with the Gu family, and entrusts him with sensitive knowledge and valuables 225 800 936.
- Qian Wendao — Registration helper, political ally, and publicly proclaimed benefactor. Qin helps clear his name, later struggles with perceived betrayal and Qian’s changed governing style, and ultimately honors his death as the sacrifice that brought dawn 104 113 1062 1130 1305 1707.
- Zhang Kuang — Powerful protector and trusted ally included among those Qin considers safe recipients of Origin Sequence secrets 839 883.
- Hu Chan — Begins as an acquaintance from whom Qin seized the Vine Heart, then becomes a close collaborator. Qin shares the alternate path to godhood with him; their friendship retains blunt arguments over favors and compensation 424 662 839.
- Yu Ziying — Trusted member of Qin’s aligned inner circle and a participant in plans to expand the United Church 839 1356.
- Gu Yunpeng — Friend and hunting companion whom Qin rescues. Qin initially withholds some secrets because the Gu family’s competing interests make complete trust difficult 225 632 839.
- Chu Baxing — Rival who develops into an admirer and student of Qin’s judgment. Qin later secures his release from Huo Dangkou and accompanies him after Chu Xiaoang’s death 278 800 842 1206 1233.
- Chu Xiaoang — Military negotiator whose attitude shifts from pressure to cooperation. Provides regiment slots, builds Qin’s camp, and urges Baxing to learn from him. Qin attends his funeral 771 1233.
- Zheng Mubian — Military ally whose illness is treated using Qin’s titan reed fragment; later participates in military and mining affairs alongside him 278 480 1287.
- Wang Defa, Wang Deyou, and Wang Dezhong — Subordinates Qin cultivates for secret work and later military command. He helps arrange cover identities and assigns them recruitment responsibilities 532 615 1030.
- She Haqiang — Trusted subordinate placed under a Chu Legion cover identity while managing a regiment for Qin 615 1030.
- Jonathan — Political friend who sees Qin as an exceptional source of opportunity and sends his son Edward to serve him 405.
- Edward — Loyal officer and protégé. Qin guides his cultivation and later delegates military deployments to him 1311 1543.
- Yu Yongyou — Arena opponent turned abrasive friend and business ally. Trades mining interests and equipment for information and assistance; Qin considers cooperation acceptable only if Yu can control his family without Reincarnation Church ties 923 956 1051.
- Ban Dingyuan and Shi Tao — Respected university seniors. Qin heals Ban’s lost limbs; both protect Wen Shu, earning his gratitude and an offer to share valuable information 764 1318.
- Gu Weiyang — Senior government figure whose support helps establish Qin’s standing. Qin mourns him and seeks to fulfill his final wishes by absorbing abandoned authority 974 1262 1275.
- Lu Daoxing / Professor Lu — Research ally remembered after death. Qin plans a memorial tablet because Lu left no family and forbade a grave 1233 1394.
- Quan Taibin — Research collaborator whose biological ore strengthens Qin’s spear. Qin offers laboratory equipment and resources to expand production 1434.
- Han Shuo — Formidable university principal and transactional collaborator. Qin seeks a closer alliance, but Han deliberately refuses extra payment and the obligations attached to it 376 388.
- Qin Yingguang — Initially an opportunistic rescuer, later a major enemy. His interference with Qin’s troops and disregard for their lives turn their rivalry into open confrontation; no kinship is established merely by their shared surname 375 965 1142 1262.
- Duan Chongfang — Troubled university senior who ambushes Qin at the hotel but later fights Choi Chan-hoon, receives treatment alongside Qin, and pursues further advancement 936 946 956 1826.
- Li Qinghui — Seriously injured woman Qin saves with dozens of healing artifacts before asking about her group’s plans. Her companions interpret the rescue as a possible gamble on future allies 1630.
- Xiao Zhigang — Political opponent whom Qin ultimately spares, partly because Xiao’s free-school-meal policy helped him survive. Qin later signals that Xiao’s wife and daughters will be allowed a future 1732.
