"Lin Ze! Are you even human?!"

  Lin Ze suddenly opened his eyes!

  Veins bulged on his forehead, eyes filled with shock, anger, and disappointment...

  The pain was unbearable!

  He never imagined his best friend, whom he treated as a brother, would betray him so ruthlessly.

  "I trusted you with everything, yet you..."

  Remembering what just happened, Lin Ze felt deep betrayal cutting into his soul.

  No one knew he was originally from another world.

  When he first arrived, he was an orphan adopted by a kind couple. At five years old, he met his closest friend, Jiang Ming, the neighbor's son.

  After his adoptive parents died tragically in an accident when he was eighteen, Lin Ze had only Jiang Ming left as family.

  Everything changed when they entered college.

  The mysterious game "Forsaken Divinity" descended.

  Pyers gained lifespan by killing monsters, and they could extract powerful abilities into reality by sacrificing their own life force!

  In a world rapidly engulfed in chaos, Lin Ze stood at the forefront, becoming one of humanity’s top warriors.

  Eventually, he uncovered a powerful relic—the Eye of the Primordial God—in an ancient ruin.

  With this artifact, he was poised to reach the peak...

  But Jiang Ming, driven by greed, betrayed him.

  Lin Ze never anticipated his closest friend would drug him, leaving him paralyzed and helpless.

  Standing over Lin Ze, Jiang Ming sneered coldly: "You always thought you were superior, always controlling me and telling me what's best. I’m done living in your shadow! With your Eye of the Primordial God, I'll surpass you and everyone else."

  Paralyzed, Lin Ze watched helplessly as Jiang Ming ruthlessly took his eye, leaving him for dead.

  What Jiang Ming didn't know was that the poison he used was lethal.

  Lin Ze died shortly after.

  When Lin Ze opened his eyes again, he found himself in a simple, familiar bedroom.

  Warm sunlight filtered gently through the curtains...

  "I'm back... nine years ago? I've been reborn?"

  Lin Ze sat up, momentarily dazed.

  Remembering his betrayal and suffering, Lin Ze’s expression hardened.

  "Jiang Ming..."

  He recalled clearly the mistakes he'd made by trusting others and holding himself back.

  "In my previous life, I sacrificed too much for you. But now, I’ll walk alone. Without the weight of mispced trust, I'll rise faster and stronger!"

  At that moment, a cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

  ["Eye of Judgment" activating...]

  [You have obtained the "Judgment Authority"!]

  Lin Ze froze, realizing his greatest weapon had returned with him through rebirth.

  "This time," he murmured, eyes sharp and cold, "nothing will stop me from ascending to the throne of gods!"
