Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

The door to the reading room was pushed open from the outside.

Bai Ye strode in, wearing that flashy white trench coat.

"Brother Lin Yuan, I've finally found it..."

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Bai Ye's gaze passed over the desk and settled on the scene before her.

Lin Yuan was carrying a plate of dry rice.

A pretty girl with a high ponytail was sitting across from me.

The girl rested her chin on her hands, staring intently at Lin Yuan.

Her eyes revealed the loving care and heartache of an elderly mother looking at her left-behind children.

Bai Ye froze on the spot.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he hadn't gone to the wrong door or was not hallucinating.

Good guy.

Bai Ye gasped, pointing at Lin Yuan with a pained expression.

"You, Lin Yuan with your thick eyebrows and big eyes! I misjudged you!"

Bai Ye rushed to the table, clutched her chest, and looked heartbroken.

"I thought you were a virtuous gentleman, devoted to the Dao and abstinent from women! I thought your mind was only filled with laws and divine realms!"

"It's only been a few days since school started!"

Bai Ye became more and more excited as he spoke, spittle flying everywhere.

"Everyone is fighting bloody battles on the front lines, but that brute Yan Lie is still fighting to the death with alien races in another dimension, and he can't even get a sip of water."

"And you, on the other hand, are hiding in the library flirting with girls!"

"Have you lived up to your teacher's earnest teachings? Have you lived up to the high expectations of the people of Tianhai Province?"

"As a divine prodigy of the new era, instead of focusing on conquering the world, you're here flirting!"

"You've fallen! You've utterly fallen!"

Bai Ye beat his chest in despair, as if he were witnessing the fall of the hope of the Human Federation.

Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and rubbed his throbbing temples.

He had thought before that if Bai Ye and Xia Luoluo, those two chatterboxes, got together, it would be an absolute catastrophe.

But he never expected that his first encounter with these two would put him in the middle.

Also, how exactly did this guy find his way here?

Lin Yuan was about to speak up and stop this guy who was talking nonsense.

As a result, Xia Luoluo on the other side got angry first.

She stood up and stood in front of Lin Yuan, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Who do you think you are! Don't you know any manners, yelling like that?!"

Xia Luoluo looked Bai Ye up and down, giving his white trench coat a disdainful glance.

"Dressed like a peacock with its tail feathers spread, she looks like she's up to no good."

She glanced at Lin Yuan, then turned back to glare at Bai Ye.

"What are you doing here looking for Lin Yuan? Don't think I don't know what you rich kids are up to."

"You have no ability yourself, so you try to trick ordinary geniuses into becoming your cannon fodder!"

Lin Yuan's eye twitched violently.

Our Lin Yuan?

This is completely irrelevant.

Just a moment ago she was calling me Sister Xia, but in the time it takes to eat a meal, my ownership of her has changed.

Bai Ye was struck dumb upon hearing these words.

He tightened his grip on his chest, feeling as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat.

"You... your Lin Yuan?"

Bai Ye pointed at Lin Yuan, then at Xia Luoluo, his expression more disgusted than if he had swallowed a dead fly.

"Why?! God, you're being unfair!"

This kid always has a cold face and can't utter more than three words in a sentence.

Why is it that he can find a pretty girl who can also speak up for him?

Bai Ye looked up and sighed deeply, his voice filled with genuine grief and indignation.

"I, Bai Ye, am so dashing and handsome, how come I never encounter such good fortune!"

"Lin Yuan, you deserve better, but you don't deserve this much!"

As Bai Ye's passion for acting grew stronger, the topics of conversation became increasingly skewed.

Lin Yuan finally spoke.

"Shut up."

The wailing of the white night ceased.

Xia Luoluo obediently shut her mouth, but still defiantly waved her fist at Bai Ye.

"Speak, Bai Ye, what do you want from me?" Lin Yuan cut straight to the point.

Bai Ye then dropped his exaggeratedly pained expression and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"It's important business."

Bai Ye straightened his collar, his expression becoming more serious.

"We're almost done with those two platinum-level worlds with Yan Lie. I figured you've got nothing better to do these days, so let's team up and pull off something big."

Bai Ye stared into Lin Yuan's eyes, her tone seductive.

"You take the lead, I'll provide support."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we formed the Twin Stars of Starry Sky University and swept through the freshmen?"

Bai Ye was calculating in her mind.

Combined with the deathly aura he sensed at the villa's entrance earlier.

Bai Ye would stake his life on it: Lin Yuan single-handedly destroyed a diamond-level plane.

Seeing Xia Luoluo now, Bai Ye is even more certain of his guess.

This guy must have conquered an important dimension and made a fortune, and now he's rewarding himself with romance.

Since the other person is free anyway, why not ask him to team up with me?

At worst, I'll just have to swallow my pride.

Lin Yuan had not yet had a chance to express his opinion.

Xia Luoluo spoke again.

She put her hands on her hips and looked at Bai Ye.

"I knew you had ulterior motives! You want to team up with my Lin Yuan? Dream on!"

Xia Luoluo looked wary.

"You rich kids love to play these kinds of tricks."

"They talk a good game, but when they actually get to an alien world, they'll run away faster than anyone else if they encounter danger, leaving the civilians to take the fall."

Xia Luoluo saw that Lin Yuan remained silent.

Lin Yuan was convinced that he was shocked by Bai Ye's shamelessness, but dared not offend such a wealthy young master due to his status as a commoner.

She patted her chest and assured him, "Lin Yuan, don't be afraid! With me here, he won't dare do anything to you!"

"My dad is the commander of the city's garrison; he wouldn't dare touch you even if he had ten times the courage!"

She pointed at Bai Ye again: "If you want to conquer other planes, go find people within your own circles. Don't come here and cause trouble for Lin Yuan!"

Bai Ye panicked upon hearing this.

He retorted loudly, "What do you know, you little brat! Who said I'm the kind of good-for-nothing who relies on my family's resources!"

Bai Ye patted his chest, looking proud.

"I am Bai Ye, a direct descendant of the Bai family in Tianhai Provincial Capital!"

"But I've never relied on family charity! I've gotten to where I am today entirely through my own hard work and abilities!"

Xia Luoluo sneered: "Real skills? What real skills? Throwing money around?"

"Wrong! It's swindling and deception!"

Bai Ye raised his head, his tone filled with pride.

"When I was six years old, I tricked my cousin out of a year's allowance with a fake magic crystal."

"When I was ten years old, my family elders sent me to train on the outskirts of the abyss."

"I hired three high-ranking mercenaries and pushed through the enemy lines."

"After returning, I won first place in the family's training exercise, and I used all the reward resources to buy divine crystals."

"At the age of twelve, I discovered a flaw in the defensive formation of the family treasury."

"I replaced one of the top-grade dark-elemental divine crystals inside with a skeleton that appeared to be dead. Even now, the elder guarding the vault still thinks that crystal is dormant!"

Bai Ye became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes shining.

"During the big exam, I used the Void Dream Spirit to hide my strength, pretended to be poor and pitiful, and survived until almost the end."

"I, Bai Ye, owe my success today entirely to my brilliant mind and shameless spirit!"

"Am I arrogant? Am I getting cocky?"

Xia Luoluo was dumbfounded.

She stared wide-eyed at the guy in front of her who made shamelessness sound so elegant and refined, her worldview severely shaken.

How can someone like this still be alive and not have been beaten to death?

"You...you're shameless!" Xia Luoluo struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter this one word.

"Thank you for the compliment. This is my motto for living." Bai Ye smiled and accepted it without hesitation.

Xia Luoluo turned to look at Lin Yuan, her tone even more resolute.

"Lin Yuan, you absolutely cannot team up with this kind of person! He even betrayed his own cousin; if things really get dangerous, he'll definitely sell you out for money!"

Bai Ye snapped, "Hey! Why are you trying to sow discord, you little brat! My feelings for Brother Lin Yuan are completely sincere!"

The two, separated by the dining table, started arguing back and forth.

The sound grew louder and louder.

Lin Yuan sat in the middle, feeling as if a million mosquitoes were buzzing in his head.

He took a deep breath, preparing to throw the two men out of the reading room.

A sudden change occurred.

The divine fire within his body overflowed from his skin.

In just a few breaths, Lin Yuan's aura surged.

The books on the desk were all blown away.

Bai Ye and Xia Luoluo, who were arguing, fell silent at the same time.

Lin Yuan's expression changed, and his divine fire suddenly went berserk.

"I need to make some adjustments. You guys continue."

After Lin Yuan said those words...

Without any hesitation.

It transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.

It moved so fast that it left no afterimage.

Xia Luoluo glanced in the direction Lin Yuan had disappeared, then looked at Bai Ye, who was still in a defensive stance.

Disdain was written all over their faces.

"It's all your fault. It must have been your shameless words that made Lin Yuan so angry that he went into a state of demonic possession."

After saying that, Xia Luoluo didn't bother to say another word to Bai Ye and left without looking back.

Bai Ye was the only one left in the reading room.

He stood there dumbfounded, his jaw practically dropping to the ground.

"Holy crap..."

Bai Ye murmured to himself.

He felt it clearly just now.

The aura that Lin Yuan unleashed absolutely surpassed that of a fourth-stage demigod.

It possesses the aura of a demigod at the fifth level, and even faintly touches the threshold of the sixth level.

Bai Ye felt like she was going crazy.

When school first started, this kid was only a fourth-degree demigod!

It's only been a few days?

He's about to break through again!

At this rate, won't this guy condense a divine spark and advance to true godhood by the end of his freshman year?

Bai Ye reflected on what had happened to her that day.

He came excitedly looking for people to team up with, but the first thing he did upon entering was to be bombarded with a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Then a crazy girl pointed her finger at him and started yelling at him.

Then he witnessed Lin Yuan's aura suddenly surge.

In the end, he was scolded by this crazy girl again.

So, I didn't check the almanac before going out today, and just came here to be a background figure that everyone hates?

Bai Ye was so angry that her liver hurt.

But more than anything, it's a sense of urgency.

He originally thought that his demigod level 5 was enough to keep him from falling behind among the freshmen.

It seems that Lin Yuan's growth rate is completely unreasonable.

If I continue to develop in the same way as before, I will eventually be left far behind.

By then, they won't even have the right to follow in someone else's footsteps and eat their dust, let alone form some kind of twin stars.

Bai Ye gritted his teeth and made a decision that went against his own principles.

effort?

What a load of rubbish!

It would be foolish not to take the shortcut!

Bai Ye took out his personal terminal and dialed an encrypted number.

Communication is established.

"Young Master?" A deep, steady voice came from the terminal.

"Uncle Fu, it's me."

Bai Ye took a deep breath, his tone serious.

"What are your orders, young master? Have you encountered trouble at Starry Sky University? Do you need the family's intervention?"

"This is a huge problem."

Bai Ye glanced in the direction Lin Yuan had left and said through gritted teeth.

"Uncle Fu, prepare three... no, five World Hearts for me! The purest kind!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the terminal.

"Young Master, you previously vowed that you would make a name for yourself at Starry Sky University through your own efforts and would never use family resources."

Times have changed!

Bai Ye roared confidently.

"Someone's cheating! If I don't spend money soon, I won't even be worthy to carry their shoes!"

"Get ready quickly, the sooner the better! I need to properly upgrade my divine realm!"

Hang up the communication.

Bai Ye straightened her white trench coat.

"Trying to shake me off? No way."

He snorted and strode out of the reading room with an air of indifference.
