Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

In the far north, at the Castle of Bones.

Bai Ye strode out of the secret room and stretched in an exaggerated way.

His bones cracked and popped, and divine power surged through his limbs and bones.

"Cool!"

He let out a long breath.

He had already digested most of the immense power contained within the several World Hearts.

The remaining residual energy was all transformed into a divine realm foundation of the same attribute.

Given a period of natural assimilation, or until the next acceleration of time, his divine fire will undergo a qualitative transformation.

The previous feeling of bloating and pain from being unable to tolerate nourishment was completely gone.

He felt an inexhaustible surge of energy, and he was still feeling unsatisfied.

Bai Ye's gaze shifted.

In the center of the main hall, an eight-meter-long bone dragon was lying on the ground, scratching at the floor tiles with its claws.

Hearing the noise, the bone dragon raised its head, and its ghostly blue soul flame flickered twice.

Bai Ye walked over.

The bone dragon lowered its head consciously.

White Night pulled the crumpled parchment from between its ribs.

Let's take a look.

On the back is a single, blood-red character, boldly protruding from the paper: "Yes".

Bai Ye grinned and flicked the parchment, making a loud crackling sound.

"See that?" He patted the bone dragon's hard skull. "I told you Lin Yuan is a sensible kid. When it really matters, you still have to rely on your brother."

The flames in the bone dragon's eye sockets flickered, indicating a slight guilty conscience.

Bai Ye didn't notice the Bone Dragon's unusual behavior; he placed his right hand on the Bone Dragon's forehead.

As an undead creation he made with divine magic, the Bone Dragon's soul fire is connected to his origin.

"Let me see what the situation is like in the Central Plains right now."

Bai Ye closed his eyes and used his divine power to probe into the core of the bone dragon's memory.

The images flooded my mind.

A gloomy sky, and a vast black army covering the mountains and plains.

Bloodslaughter infantry forming an ironclad square, mutated demonic bats releasing ultrasonic waves in the sky, and liquid gold crabs destroying the foundation.

And the six-winged insect king, which hangs high in the sky and controls the whole situation through a mental network.

At the end of the scene is a dark red behemoth that is over 500 meters tall.

The "demon god" kicked a mountain peak thousands of meters high in half, tore through the void, and swallowed the entire fortress and its treasure vault into a black hole.

Bai Ye's smile froze.

His hand, which was pressed on the bone dragon's brow, trembled slightly.

"This is fucking..."

Bai Ye stood there, stunned, his head buzzing.

He also thought that once Lin Yuan obtained the "General" identity token, he would definitely become the target of everyone's hatred.

They would definitely be besieged by the local strongmen and face the secret schemes of other classmates.

No matter how strong Lin Yuan was, he could only rely on the city to defend it and struggle to hold on.

What kind of defense is that?

Lin Yuan roamed freely in the Central Plains, crushing every living creature that could breathe.

The speed and destructive power of that army's advance were so great that even the Abyss would have to call them ancestors.

Bai Ye withdrew his hand, his expression extremely strange.

He looked at the bone dragon lying on the ground, then at the parchment in his hand.

What was written in the letter again?

"I've heard that your great reputation has attracted much attention and that you may be targeted by malicious people, which has kept me up at night."

Bai Ye covered her face.

This letter is so embarrassing. Lin Yuan probably laughed at him in his heart when he read it.

However, the awkwardness lasted only three seconds.

Bai Ye lowered his hand, the strange look on his face turning into undisguised smugness.

"Wow, I'm a fucking genius!" Bai Ye slapped his thigh and paced back and forth in the main hall.

"What does it mean to have a discerning eye for talent? This is what it means to have a discerning eye for talent!"

He muttered to himself, his voice growing louder, "Out of all twenty-eight people in the class, who has my foresight, who has my decisiveness?"

"That stubborn Chu Xiaoxiao is probably still plotting how to deal with Lin Yuan."

"That shady guy Cheng E is definitely hiding somewhere, plotting something bad."

"Only I! Only I, Bai Ye, have seen through the essential laws of this Rubik's Cube world."

"Holding onto Lin Yuan's coattails is the only way to pass this level!"

Bai Ye felt increasingly comfortable as she thought about it.

He had long seen that Lin Yuan was an unreasonable freak, and the facts now proved that his judgment was completely correct.

"By the way, while we've formed an alliance, we can't forget about our main business." Bai Ye stopped and his expression turned serious.

He had to keep an eye on the movements of the other students, as this was one of the values ​​of Lin Yuan's ally.

At the same time, his own territory is also facing major problems.

During the few days he secluded himself to digest the Heart of the World, the far north, due to its remote location, was not invaded by any foreign enemies.

This allowed him to safely pass through his weakest period.

But his identity card is [Bone Lord].

The territory lacks vitality.

If they don't periodically plunder the surrounding flesh and blood resources, the undead under their command will riot.

Having been without food for the past few days, the thousands of undead cannon fodder outside the city have begun to stir restlessly, their soul fires flickering with violent light.

"Go." Bai Ye kicked the bone dragon in the ribs. "Take the brothers outside the city and go sweep the surrounding area."

"Bring back any living creature with flesh and blood."

The bone dragon obeyed the order and flapped its wings, flying out of the main hall.

After arranging the trivial matters, Bai Ye leaned back in his chair, preparing to plan his next move.

Just then, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Lin Yuan is actually nothing special."

"He's just a monster because of his powerful retinue. Once I've fully integrated the Heart of the World and developed Bone City, I'll be able to achieve my goals."

With a million-strong undead army deployed, his hundreds of thousands of Abyssal Blood soldiers are nothing.

"The number one in this Rubik's Cube world will be mine sooner or later. They will all eventually kneel at my feet."

The thought arose without warning, and naturally.

Bai Ye couldn't help but sneer, his eyes revealing a disdainful contempt for the world.

next second.

Bai Ye shuddered.

He sat up abruptly, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Something's not right.

Bai Ye gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

He knows himself too well.

He is a shrewd and pragmatic person.

If you can't beat them, play it safe; if you can, crush them.

How could he possibly have such an arrogant idea that "I am the best in the world, and Lin Yuan is nothing"?

Lin Yuan's 500-meter-tall behemoth could kick his White Bone City to dust with a single kick.

What gives him the right to look down on Lin Yuan?

"It's arrogance."

Bai Ye closed his eyes and introspected his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

He saw that the edge of his originally pure gray-white divine fire had been stained with a dark halo at some point.

This halo is subtly influencing his thought process.

Amplify his confidence and distort his perception.

It made him arrogant and conceited.

"That was close."

Bai Ye opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

If he hadn't just emerged from seclusion, his mental state wouldn't be at its sharpest peak.

If he hadn't seen the bone dragon's memories, he wouldn't have had such a direct and terrifying understanding of Lin Yuan's strength.

He was completely unaware of this shift in mindset.

"Interesting," Bai Ye murmured softly.

As a direct descendant of a large family, Bai Ye has seen far more of the world than ordinary students.

The various mechanisms of the Rubik's Cube world flashed through his mind.

Identity cards, resource competition, the power of life and death, and these negative emotions that seep into the soul without one realizing it.

"I see."

Bai Ye laughed, easily seeing through the true intentions of this high-level artifact.

"All this talk of lordship battles and resource grabbing is just a facade."

"This is a major test of one's character and temperament regarding the very essence of divine fire!"

Gods have long lifespans and control billions of living beings.

Those who are most likely to lose themselves in endless power and time, becoming slaves to their desires.

The Rubik's Cube world uses extreme environments to catalyze the dark side of their hearts.

Ecstasy, greed, pride, wrath...

If you can't withstand it, the divine fire will corrupt you, and no matter how strong you are, you'll eventually become a madman.

Once you overcome this obstacle and your mindset transforms, you will be able to go further on the path to becoming a deity.

"Trying to scheme against me? No way."

Bai Ye calmed himself down, mobilized his divine power, and condensed a series of gray-white sharp blades.

Cut through that dark halo of arrogance in the sea of ​​consciousness.

He kept repeating to himself:

"I'm a piece of trash, I'm garbage."

"Lin Yuan could crush me with a single finger."

"I need to latch onto a powerful figure, I need to survive."

Use self-deprecation to combat that pervasive arrogance.

……

At the same time.

Jinchan City, in the main hall of the city lord.

On the ground, countless empty jade bottles and wooden boxes were scattered.

The remnants of various high-level elixirs and the withered roots and stems of spiritual herbs covered the entire jade steps.

Chu Xiaoxiao curled up on the pure gold throne of the city lord.

The entire hall was deserted.

She drove away all the mechanical deities.

She was drenched in cold sweat, her hands gripping the armrests of the throne tightly.

The fingernail broke due to excessive force, and fresh blood dripped from the pure gold veins.

"Get out...get out of my head!"

Chu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and roared out each word clearly.

Her eyes were closed, and she was experiencing a torment that most people could not imagine.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness.

The data fire, which was like a dazzling galaxy, had already turned half of its color murky.

The source of pollution representing "greed" is a living venomous liquid that is devouring her remaining sanity.

She had just swallowed all the calming pills in the treasure vault.

Chew up a dozen or so high-level spiritual herbs that can stabilize the divine fire.

The drug's effects surged through her body, tearing apart her meridians.

like water off a duck's back.

Greedy pollution acts directly on the source, and medicine is completely powerless to stop it.

"Not enough... I need more..."

"Golden Toad City is mine... the Central Plains are mine... the whole world should be mine!"

"Anyone who dares to steal from me, I'll kill them! I'll turn them into scrap metal!"

Greedy thoughts kept rising in my mind.

Chu Xiaoxiao used all her strength to mobilize the half of the uncontaminated divine fire to build a data firewall in an attempt to isolate the venom.

Two forces clashed in her mind, and the pain left her limp.

"I am Chu Xiaoxiao... I am a genius from Starry Sky University..."

"I will never... become a madman who only knows how to rob!"

With her remaining sanity, she repeated her name over and over again, trying to anchor herself.

But greed erodes things too quickly.

She had previously slaughtered indigenous people, confiscated the Chamber of Commerce, and even personally killed Zhou Yan.

Every act of yielding to greed becomes nourishment for this venom.

Venom has grown into an uncontrollable monster.

Chu Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes.

Her appearance has completely changed.

The former top student vice class monitor, who wore black-rimmed glasses, was calm, intelligent, and even had a slightly aloof air, has disappeared.

At this moment, it was a face that was both alluring and wicked to the extreme.

Her once clear eyes are now covered with gray-black patterns.

Deep within his pupils lay a possessive desire for everything.

Her lips curled up into a neurotic smile.

It is born by heart.

When the divine fire was corrupted by greed, her physical body also underwent a transformation.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Chu Xiaoxiao let out a low laugh.

She loosened her grip on the handrail and looked at her blood-stained fingernails.

"Why resist at all?"

"If you want something, just take it. That's what gods should do."

The defenses of reason are crumbling.

At this time.

Ripples appeared in the shadows of a corner of the main hall.

"bite--"

A silver coin was tossed into the air and landed steadily in a pale hand.

Chu Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A murderous intent erupted!

"Who's there! Show yourself!"

The shadows dissipated.

Cheng E, dressed in a black trench coat and with messy, tousled hair, walked out slowly with his hands in his pockets.

He ignored Chu Xiaoxiao's murderous gaze.

He raised his head, his lifeless, dead fish eyes scrutinizing Chu Xiaoxiao, who was curled up on the throne.

Looking at the discarded pills scattered all over the ground.

Looking at her bewitching yet sickly face.

Looking at the extremely chaotic fluctuations of divine power around her.

Cheng E stopped and stood at a completely safe distance.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Cheng E fiddled with the coin in his hand, uttering a series of monotone sighs.

"Vice class monitor, you look really bad right now."

A mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems your time as the city lord of Golden Toad City isn't going too smoothly."
