Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

With a thought, Lin Yuan descended upon the divine realm spanning 300,000 square kilometers.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at the entire earth.

The expected cataclysmic or revival of all things did not occur.

The colors remain a mix of dark red and pure black.

Everything was exactly the same as before.

Lin Yuan frowned.

He raised his hand, sensing the fluctuations of the surrounding laws.

The structural integrity of the space remains unchanged.

The gravity parameters remain unchanged.

Even the concentration of spiritual energy in the Dark Abyss only increased over time and had nothing to do with that forbidden divine spark.

If you really want to find something different.

There was an indescribable feeling in the whole space.

It was as if this land had just experienced countless cycles of birth and death.

"That's it?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

He expended so much energy to withstand the terrifying impact of his will and successfully broke through to the fourth stage of demigodhood.

As a result, this fragment of "The End and the Origin" turned into a huge mess?

He doesn't believe in superstitions.

With a flash, he instantly teleported to the central basin.

The first thing that catches the eye is the towering [Liquid Gold Blood-Devouring Demon Tree] that stretches across the sky.

The dark red tree trunk stood silently.

The branches and leaves are tightly closed.

Its vitality is restrained.

After fusing two lower-level god-level terms, it entered a period of dormant transformation.

Several days have passed since the integration.

Converted to time within the divine realm, that's roughly a full month.

Lin Yuan had thought that with the stimulation of the top-level divine fragment, the demonic tree should at least give some positive feedback.

Even if it's just a few new leaves growing, or the bark changing color, that would be fine.

However, no.

It is still very withered.

It stood there, refusing to release even a tiny bit of excess energy.

Lin Yuan flew around the demon tree twice, scanning it inside and out dozens of times with his spiritual power.

The influence of the absorbed divinity on it approaches zero infinitely.

"Does this stuff only work on things that move?"

Lin Yuan changed direction and headed towards the Blood Abyss Sea at the roots of the Demon Tree.

The tyrant is soaking in thick blood.

The dark gold liquid on the surface of the body flowed slowly.

Sensing the presence of the Creator, the Tyrant opened his eyes and let out a low growl.

Lin Yuan carefully examined this strongest combatant.

Rank: Platinum Eight-Star.

All attributes are stable.

There are no signs of any rapid progress.

Next, he inspected the volcanic clusters in the far north.

Eight thousand [Calamity Fire Spirits] are tumbling in the lava.

Boiling water creates a toxic mist.

They are still struggling to adapt to the diluted negative laws, collapsing where they should and reorganizing where they should.

The addition of the divine fragments did not accelerate their assimilation process.

Black and gold bladed eagles in the sky.

The underground insectoid race.

The scarlet flying bladefish in the water.

Lin Yuan checked them one by one.

All personnel are normal.

The overall improvement in strength was entirely due to the resources gained from the Great Exam of Devouring.

Lin Yuan stopped in mid-air and rubbed his temples.

He began to doubt the feeling he had when he broke through.

Was that gray-black polyhedron really just a deceptive piece of junk?

Essentially, it's just to create an illusory dream, giving the merger the illusion that they have mastered the supreme law.

"wrong."

Lin Yuan quickly dismissed this absurd idea.

The leap in realm is real and tangible.

The qualitative change in divine power cannot be faked.

There must be some step that has been overlooked.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and extended his sensory network to its maximum.

It is no longer limited to those core, high-ranking clans.

Instead, the scope of the investigation will cover every corner of the divine realm.

It seeped into the blackthorn bushes.

Dive into the murky mud...

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes.

The gaze was fixed on a tributary.

There, a widespread war of predation is taking place.

Dozens of mid-level Silver-rank Infrasonic Bone Blade Bats are besieging a group of low-level Silver-rank Shocking Liquid Gold Crabs.

The crabs waved their giant pincers, attempting to create a spatial collapse as a defense.

However, the bat's infrasound waves ignored the physical shell and directly shattered the internal organs of a large number of crabs.

Limbs and severed bodies flew everywhere on the battlefield.

Green bodily fluids covered the hillside.

Lin Yuan's attention was focused on one of the dying liquid gold crabs.

Its shell was completely torn apart.

Several bone-bladed bats were crawling on its body, gnawing on its flesh.

The vital signs have fallen below the critical point.

Logically, it wouldn't survive more than three seconds.

Just as it was about to breathe its last.

An extremely hidden yet domineering energy emerged from the depths of its genes.

The previously dilated pupils suddenly contracted.

The tattered liquid metal body forcibly healed in a fraction of a second.

Not only have the injuries healed, but the metallic luster on the surface of the body has also become several times deeper.

It swung its giant pincers.

Click.

The three bone-blade bats in front of him were clamped in two.

A desperate comeback.

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed.

He turned his gaze to another battlefield.

On the sea surface, a group of silver-level bone fish were killing each other.

A bony fish with its spine bitten off triggered that same strange energy as it sank to the bottom of the sea.

Broken bones were reconnected.

The concentration of death energy erosion doubled.

It burst out of the water again and tore its kin, who had just severely injured it, to pieces.

Lin Yuan observed the battles in more than a dozen different areas.

Without exception.

Any small, weak creature that is on the verge of extinction.

There is a certain probability that this extreme phenomenon of explosive growth will be triggered.

The closer you get to the line of death, the more terrifying the rebound force becomes.

After surviving a near-death experience, their bodies undergo permanent strengthening.

"I see."

Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

End and origin.

At the end of destruction lies new life.

These taboo laws, which involve the underlying logic of the universe, are not meant to improve panel data.

It changed the underlying rules of the Wasteland God Realm!

Previously, Lin Yuan's attention was entirely focused on high-level combat forces such as the Tyrant and the Insect King.

These formidable individuals are unlikely to be driven into a truly hopeless situation in the current environment.

Without experiencing ultimate destruction, one cannot trigger the resurgence of the origin.

Only those massive numbers of cannon fodder at the bottom, who devour each other every day.

Only then can the true value of this divine fragment be demonstrated at a high frequency.

"Commander Xiao is right."

"The effects of the divine fragments are mainly seen in the later stages."

"The further we go, the more terrifying the underlying nature of this rule becomes."

Lin Yuan silently calculated in his mind.

He thought he could achieve invulnerability to all laws and cause upheaval in the divine realm by merely fusing with a fragment.

That's really wishful thinking.

This level of power requires a long time to develop.

After figuring all of this out.

Lin Yuan stopped worrying about the superficial changes in the Divine Realm in a short period of time.

Since this fragment requires the extreme limits of life and death to catalyze it.

Then let's push them to their limits!

Lin Yuan hovered at the highest point of the sky.

The Creator's power was released without reservation.

The entire 300,000 square kilometers of wasteland fell silent instantly.

All the members of the clan stopped moving and lay prostrate on the ground, trembling.

"oracle."

Lin Yuan's voice resounded in the minds of every living being.

"Starting today, an unrestricted life-or-death battle will begin across the entire wasteland."

"Abandon the concept of territory and abandon the protection of ethnic groups."

"All living things must be in a constant state of fighting for their lives."

"Those who do not fight will die."

"Those who fear battle shall die."

Previously, Lin Yuan adopted a "free-range management" approach.

Each member of the clan occupied a piece of land and did their own thing.

Whether to fight or not is up to my mood; whoever is stronger will seize the resources.

But now it's different.

With the foundation of [End and Origin], he had to resort to brute force to squeeze every last drop of potential from these creatures.

Only through endless devouring can the true monsters that conform to the forbidden laws be sifted out from the sand.

However, Lin Yuan remained cautious.

He turned his gaze toward the Blood Abyss Sea.

"The Demon Clan is banned from the competition."

This supplementary order was issued to the tyrant and all the violent demons.

no way.

The stats of the Demon race are way too high.

If they are allowed to participate in unrestricted conquest across the entire region, other races will have no chance at all.

"The Demon Clan is limited to fighting among themselves and is strictly prohibited from interfering in external battlefields."

After issuing this ironclad rule, Lin Yuan saw the violent demon in the sea of ​​blood lower its head somewhat aggrievedly.

They were filled with fighting spirit, but could only vent it on their own kind.

Lin Yuan ignored the violent demon's emotions.

The rules of the Divine Realm have been established.

The earth below was instantly engulfed in an unprecedented frenzy.

The Zerg surged out of the ground and swarmed towards the Vultures in the sky.

Bonefish from the sea washed ashore and tore at passing crabs.

The fire spirits lashed out with their poisonous whips, striking any living thing that came near the volcano.

Blood stained the scorched earth.

The wreckage piled up into mountains.

In this extreme carnage, dying creatures constantly trigger a mutation mechanism, completing an incredible life leap.

Lin Yuan watched this scene quietly.

This is what the wasteland should look like.

After dealing with the affairs within the Divine Realm, Lin Yuan's spiritual body dissipated and he withdrew from the Star Realm.

Consciousness returns to reality.

Inside the bedroom, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and onto the floor.

Lin Yuan stood up, walked to the desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

He opened his personal terminal.

The new rules of the divine realm have begun to operate, but he still has two questions in his mind that remain unanswered.

First, why hasn't the Divine Realm expanded to this day?

Second, why is the Demon Tree stuck at the extraordinary level and unable to transform?

According to the basic deity theory in high school textbooks.

When a divine being breaks through to the demigod realm, the area of ​​its divine domain will undergo a significant expansion.

From the first to the ninth level, the space increases exponentially with each promotion.

But he has now reached the fourth level of demigod.

The border, spanning 300,000 square kilometers, has not been moved an inch.

As for the Demon Tree...

When I fused with the remnants of the mother tree, the feeling of things going smoothly and that I was just one step away from advancing was very clear.

However, this time two lower-level god-level entries were accepted.

The demon tree felt as if it had been bound by an invisible shackle.

It clearly possesses sufficient foundation, yet it remains stuck at the extraordinary level, unable to advance any further.

It's as if there's some kind of rule in this divine realm that's forcibly suppressing its growth.

These two questions were beyond Lin Yuan's knowledge.

My high school teachers never taught me that.

It wasn't mentioned in the teaching materials either.

After all, ordinary students can't even get close to super-level buildings, let alone monsters with an initial area of ​​300,000 square meters.

"The only answer is to look inside."

Lin Yuan entered the key given to him by Lieutenant General Chen Tie.

The interface redirects.

The Starfire Legion's top-secret intelligence network.

This was one of the privileges he received for getting first place in the major exam.

A complicated permission verification process pops up on the screen.

Iris scan.

Bone age determination.

Verification of mental energy wavebands.

Three seconds later, the green light turned on.

"Welcome, Lieutenant Lin."

A synthesized mechanical voice filled the room.

Lin Yuan wasted no time and directly entered the keywords into the search bar.

[Stagnation in the area of ​​the divine realm], [Restrictions on the advancement of high-level buildings], [Suppression of demigod status].

The database began operating at high speed.

A massive stream of information scrolls across the screen.

Lin Yuan filtered out the routine battle reports and logistical lists that lacked substance, and specifically selected theoretical documents written by high-level True Gods from the military research institute.

He read quickly, skimming through the text.

After half an hour.

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

He got it.

Based on the analysis of extreme cases in the literature and our own actual situation.

All doubts were resolved.

These two problems are essentially caused by the same reason.

Let's start with the size of the divine realm.

The reason it hasn't expanded to this day is that it was too big to begin with!

300,000 square kilometers.

This is a rather exaggerated number.

It's important to know that even a wealthy heiress like Su Yueying, who awakened an S-level talent, only had an initial area of ​​100,000 square kilometers.

Ordinary students only have a pitiful few hundred or a thousand square meters of space.

For normal deities, as their followers multiply and their power increases dramatically, their originally small space becomes crowded.

This kind of crowding creates a sense of spatial oppression.

Gods must expend divine power to break through spatial barriers and forcibly expand their territory.

This is one of the core driving forces behind demigod cultivation.

But Lin Yuan didn't have this problem at all.

The vast land of 300,000 square kilometers is enough to accommodate tens of millions of Zerg and a huge number of other kin.

There is absolutely no issue of insufficient space.

In addition, his divine realm is extremely special.

Internal, high-intensity fighting around the clock.

The belief in war surged forth like a tsunami.

His divine power was at its peak.

Without the pressure of spatial constraints, the divine realm naturally has no instinctive need to expand outwards.

It chooses to use all its energy to solidify internal laws and increase environmental concentration.

"So I was too full to move," Lin Yuan said with a self-deprecating smile, shaking his head.

Next, there's the problem of the magic tree.

The literature clearly records a concept: [positional bearing limit].

The Demon Tree is currently at the Extraordinary level.

It has already merged two lower-level god-level entries.

If they advance to the next level, they will at least reach the epic level, and may even directly touch the threshold of the legendary level.

But that's where the problem lies.

Lin Yuan is currently only a fourth-level demigod.

His divine status was only at the mid-stage of demigod.

A demigod's realm attempts to forcibly give birth to epic or even legendary architectural life forms.

This is like trying to fill a paper cup with the lava of an entire volcano.

There was only one outcome: the divine realm collapsed, the creator suffered a backlash from the laws, and perished on the spot.

Therefore, it's not that the Demon Tree cannot advance.

Rather, it was the underlying rules of the Wasteland God Realm that forcibly blocked the transformation of the Demon Tree in order to protect Lin Yuan, its master.

The creation of monsters that exceed the current rank limits is not permitted.

"The logic is complete."

Lin Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

This also perfectly explains another problem that has troubled him for a long time.

Those wealthy and powerful families have deep-rooted resources and control countless top-tier resources.

Why weren't they there on the first day when the family's descendants awakened their divine powers?

Why not just cram in a few epic or legendary buildings or units?

Why not just create an invincible newbie account and sweep through everything?

It turns out it wasn't that I didn't want to, but that I couldn't.

The divine realm is not high enough to accommodate something of that level.

Forcing it in will only overwhelm your own genius.

Therefore, even scions of prominent families could only follow the established order.

Starting with black iron and bronze, strengthen step by step to gradually improve your divine status.

"If they can really bring in an epic building right from the start."

Lin Yuan pondered to himself.

"Even if I had a cheat code like Creation Extraction, it would be difficult for me to defeat so many conglomerates in the environment of a major exam all by myself."

Even the most powerful cheat programs need time to develop.

Now that the cause of the disease has been found, the solution naturally becomes clear.

The last line of the document highlights the only way to break the deadlock in striking red font.

【plunder】.

To break the suppression of rank and forcibly raise the upper limit of the divine realm.

Simply relying on your own closed-door approach and accumulating faith is not enough.

We must plunder the laws of the outside world!

They plundered the core of the divine realm of other deities.

Plunder the original plane of the alien races in the abyss.

Shatter other people's worlds, devour the remnants and rules, and forcibly elevate your own dimension.

This is the true evolutionary path of high-ranking deities.

Lin Yuan stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.

"Plundering someone else's dimension, huh...?"

A dangerous smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

He roughly knew what going to the highest divine academy in the entire Federation would entail.

It is a place where the most outstanding geniuses of the entire human race gather.

Control the stargates leading to countless alien planes and abyssal battlefields.

There, you'll find the fattest and most delicious prey.

It possesses the most abundant resources of laws.

"University."

Lin Yuan murmured softly, his tone revealing undisguised fervor.

"It's getting more and more exciting!"
