Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

There were no welcome banners, and no senior students to guide the way.

Holding the Star Key in his palm, Lin Yuan followed the red route projected in his mind and traversed the surface of this gray-black dead star alone.

There is no atmosphere in the sky, only a few thick chains that stretch across the star field.

And the occasional jump lights flashing from the distant stargate.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath of the cold, rough air, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

No nonsense, no rambling.

He really liked the school's style.

After walking along a metal passageway for about ten minutes, Lin Yuan arrived at an area isolated by a gravitational field.

The buildings here are no longer dense steel jungles, but rather individual metal villas and courtyards.

Each courtyard is surrounded by a semi-transparent energy shield, emanating subtle fluctuations of spatial laws.

"Independent space, array defense." Lin Yuan glanced at the number on the Star Key.

We stopped in front of a villa marked [079].

The school is generous in its resource allocation; it doesn't have any four-person dormitories.

After all, gods have their own privacy, and many deductions of laws and the descent of divine realms require an absolutely safe environment.

Lin Yuan was just about to press the Star Key onto the access control.

"Hey, that back view looks familiar!"

A ripple suddenly appeared on the shield of the neighboring villa [080].

A figure wearing a flashy white trench coat sauntered out.

White nights.

When he saw Lin Yuan, his eyes lit up, and he immediately put on a very bright smile, rushing over to him in a few quick steps:

"I was wondering why the feng shui on this Death Star suddenly improved today; it turns out it's Brother Lin Yuan's esteemed presence!"

Lin Yuan paused, turned to look at Bai Ye, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

His perception of the White Nights was actually quite good.

This person was extremely sneaky during the big exam, relying on taking advantage of others and getting by until the end.

But at the critical moment when the Abyss Beasts descended.

Bai Ye decisively self-destructed two Diamond-tier Undead Lords, buying himself time to shatter the Abyss Core Source.

He can be considered benevolent and righteous, and he can also distinguish the big picture.

However, Lin Yuan also knew in his heart that this guy was too much of a jerk.

During the alliance formation, Bai Ye used the Void Dream Spirit to hide all the high-level combat forces completely, pretending to be poor and miserable throughout.

If he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, who would have thought that this guy was holding three diamond-tier undead in his hands?

When dealing with this kind of person, being cautious is a basic skill.

"Long time no see." Lin Yuan stopped and said calmly.

"What a coincidence!" Bai Ye leaned against the fence of Lin Yuan's courtyard as if they were old friends, and started talking non-stop.

"At most, only four students from Tianhai Province chose Xingkong University this time."

"You, me, Su Yueying, and Xu Xingyan who plays the Starlight System."

"Chu Yunxuan went to the advanced academy of the Mechanical God Cult, Li Changfeng, that sword fanatic, went to the Sword God Palace, and Qian Duoduo returned to his own Dragon Island Secret Realm."

"As for the others, everyone has their own path and is heading towards the academy that best suits their divine realm."

"So the fact that the four of us ended up in the same school is definitely because we're from the same hometown."

Bai Ye shrugged, his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly; this was not unexpected.

Although Starry Sky University is the Federation's highest institution of learning, its style is too ruthless.

The mortality rate is extremely high, and not all aristocratic geniuses are willing to risk their lives here.

"By the way, you're new here, so there are probably some things you don't know yet." Bai Ye pointed to the largest complex of buildings in the center of the Death Star in the distance.

"See that area? It's the offline trading street of Starry Sky University, commonly known as the 'Multiverse Trading Street'."

"In this school, besides academic credits, the only hard currency is divine crystals and fragments of laws."

"The school encourages in-person transactions, buying and selling things on that street, exempt from all federal taxes."

At this point, Bai Ye clicked his tongue, his gaze resentfully fixed on the non-existent lieutenant's epaulettes on Lin Yuan's shoulder:

"But this rule probably won't appeal to you. As a military lieutenant, you not only get tax-free shopping, but also discounts."

"The evil privileged class."

"Brother Lin Yuan, if I ever see any high-level undead skeletons that I like, you'll have to help me buy them. We can talk about the price difference."

"It depends on my mood." Lin Yuan ignored his sarcastic tone. You're from a powerful and wealthy family, yet you have the nerve to call yourself a privileged class.

I casually asked, "How are academic credits calculated?"

"This is the core of Starry Sky University." Bai Ye put away his playful smile and became unusually serious.

"This school adopts a laissez-faire policy. There are no traditional midterm or final exams, and you are not required to attend classes every day."

"If you want credits, there's only one way—conquer the alien planes, or fill the trenches on the front lines of the Abyss."

Bai Ye held up three fingers: "The purchasing power of academic credits is terrifying."

"In the school's internal treasure trove, as long as you have enough credits, you can get anything, not just high-level divine realm building blueprints."

"I can exchange even complete fragments of a godhood, or even control over a single law, for you."

As Lin Yuan listened to Bai Ye rattling off intelligence, the image of the girl with the high ponytail named Xia Luoluo on the spaceship suddenly flashed through his mind.

If Bai Ye and Xia Luoluo were to get together, the two of them would probably have a headache talking about it.

This is probably what it means to find a kindred spirit in a humble, polluted place.

However, Bai Ye is much smarter than that Xia Luoluo.

His talkativeness conceals a clear logic and an exchange of interests.

He was providing intelligence to Lin Yuan as a gesture of goodwill and to establish an alliance.

Lin Yuan interrupted Bai Ye's long-winded explanation and asked directly, "Then when will we go to plunder the alien races and the Abyss?"

Bai Ye was getting into the swing of things when this sentence choked him up.

"what?"

Bai Ye blinked, looking at Lin Yuan's face, which seemed to reveal a hint of eagerness, and her mind was a little confused.

Dude, how did your brain work like that?

You just got off the spaceship!

He hasn't even put down his luggage or caught his breath, and he's already thinking about going to the front lines to kill people?

Don't we need a three-to-five-day period of mental preparation?

Don't we need to first explore the school, make friends with various big shots, and form some clubs or alliances?

Looking at Lin Yuan, Bai Ye felt as if ten thousand undead bone dragons were roaring through his mind.

But then, scenes from the big exam flashed through Bai Ye's mind.

He recalled the mutated clans under Lin Yuan's command that were completely unreasonable.

Especially those things that Lin Yuan called "violent demons".

Bai Ye later went to research various information about Lin Yuan and discovered that he was actually a mutated version of the lowest-ranking gray goblin!

What the hell is a gray goblin?!

Which gray goblin can mutate to possess both the extreme traits of "Titan" and "Stealth"?

What's even more terrifying is that these monsters grow stronger the more they fight in desperate situations; death seems to be a catalyst for their evolution.

Thinking about this, Bai Ye suddenly felt relieved.

The relatives are a bunch of freaks who revel in piles of dead bodies.

As the god-king of these monsters, it's normal for him to be mentally unstable.

Forcibly suppressing the complaints in his heart, Bai Ye forced a smile back onto his face.

"Ahem... Brother Lin Yuan, although the school encourages practical experience, there's no need to rush," Bai Ye explained. "New students always need an adjustment period."

"There will be a large class for all new students tomorrow morning. The instructors will explain the rules for using the Star Gate and the coordinates of the first batch of mission planes."

"It'll probably only be a few days, very soon."

"Okay, thanks."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Lin Yuan didn't waste any more words and pressed the Star Key onto the access control.

drop.

The fence slid open, and Lin Yuan walked straight into the courtyard, tossing out a "See you tomorrow" without turning his head.

boom.

The villa gate closed, and the energy shield re-closed, isolating all sound and sight.

Bai Ye stood there, looking at the tightly closed villa gate, and stroked his chin.

"What kind of monster just popped out of a crack in the rock...?"

Bai Ye muttered something softly, but a look of interest ignited in his eyes.

He thought he had hidden himself well enough and used ruthless methods.

Even if you can't walk sideways in this Starry Sky University, you can still thrive.

But now it seems that there are even more perverts in this place than he imagined.

"Interesting." Bai Ye straightened his collar. "With someone like this leading the way, my university life these next few years will definitely not be boring."

Bai Ye hummed an unknown tune, then turned and strolled back to his own courtyard.

……

Inside the villa.

Lin Yuan looked around.

The first thing you see is a minimalist style of decor.

There are no superfluous decorations; outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a simulated star halo.

In the corner is a fully automated daily necessities processing station.

There was only a futon in the center of the living room, next to which was a smart terminal connected to the school's internal network.

Lin Yuan did not touch the smart computer, nor did he check the bedroom and bathroom.

He walked directly to the futon in the center of the living room and sat down cross-legged.

Close your eyes and let your mental energy sink into your mind.

What he needs to do now is to thoroughly understand the forbidden divine fragments that have been integrated into the divine fire.

【The End and the Origin】.

Lin Yuan's thoughts floated in the boundless sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

Directly in front of him, the divine fire, which was originally dark gold, now clearly had a layer of gray-black eerie light.

As the divine fire flickered, Lin Yuan could clearly sense two completely opposite yet perfectly closed-loop forces.

To the left, there was utter stillness.

Deprive us of life, annihilate matter, and reduce everything to nothingness.

On the right is the restoration of the origin.

Reborn from ashes, bursting forth from destruction, endlessly regenerating.

With a thought, Lin Yuan began to actively guide this power of law to circulate throughout his body.

hiss--

Fine, bloody cracks appeared on his body, a sign that his physical body could not withstand the erosion of the [End] Law.

But the next second, the power of [Origin] surged, and those wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The newly grown skin and flesh gleamed with a dark blue-green luster, like divine iron.

destroy.

Reinvention.

Destroyed again.

Reshape it again.

Lin Yuan's body alternated between decay and prosperity.

He was using his own body to forcibly simulate the life-and-death struggle that the clans in the Wasteland God Realm were experiencing.

This forbidden law must be etched into one's very bones and blood, into the deepest part of one's soul.
