Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

Lin Yuan ignored Bai Ye's antics.

He positioned himself on the list as a logistics support role, plus the title of general supervisor.

According to his plan, he would make an appearance at the beginning and go through the motions.

He dumped all the dirty and tiring work on these energetic guys, and then he could legitimately go to the back and slack off.

This kind of thankless task is best left to whoever wants to show off.

Tuoba Lie stood to the side, his eyes twitching. Bai Ye kept calling him an "idiot."

He clenched his fists, and the yellow sand that had been scattered around him began to coalesce again.

But when he caught a glimpse of Lin Yuan's profile out of the corner of his eye, his anger flared up.

He can't afford to offend Lin Yuan, at least not now.

Tuoba Lie took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to attack.

Turn your head away; out of sight, out of mind.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense," Lin Yuan said, interrupting Bai Ye's attempt to continue spouting trash talk.

Before they gathered in the square, Lin Yuan had already distributed the memory crystals that recorded the detailed rules of military training to everyone.

Chu Xiaoxiao, Cheng E, Shen Yubai, and the others all knew what the mission was.

The group nodded in understanding.

They took to the air and flew towards the freshman dormitory area.

A few minutes later, when they arrived above the freshmen dormitory building, the sight before them made everyone slow down simultaneously.

This open area, which should have been the gathering place, had changed drastically.

More than a dozen circular arenas rose from the ground and were scattered among the buildings in a staggered manner.

The nearly one thousand freshmen of Starry Sky University were all scattered around these arenas.

At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place inside the arena.

Various divine lights collided wildly within the shield.

Flames tore through the sky, frost froze the earth, and lightning wove into a web.

Various divine spells flew around within a kilometer radius as if they were free.

The aftershocks of the explosion struck the shield, creating ripples of energy.

"What's going on?" Bai Ye hovered in mid-air, puzzled. "I remember that the flowchart you sent us didn't include a competition arena, did it?"

Lin Yuan looked down at the chaotic scene below.

He genuinely didn't know what was going on.

According to the military training syllabus, after registering, freshmen should directly enter the deployment process and head to the small world.

Looking down at the crowd, Lin Yuan quickly spotted a familiar figure at the edge of a ring.

Su Yueying.

She stood outside the shield with her arms crossed, her brows slightly furrowed.

Lin Yuan flashed and landed directly next to Su Yueying.

"What happened?" Lin Yuan asked.

Su Yueying turned her head and saw that it was Lin Yuan. She smiled helplessly.

"What else could it be?" Su Yueying pointed to the angry crowd of freshmen around the arena.

"These top students who just got in are incredibly arrogant. When they found out that the instructors for this military training were us, the early admission batch, they were extremely resentful."

"They think, we're all the same age, so why should you be able to ride on their heads?"

"In addition, we also have a few instructors on our side with short tempers. After the freshmen made a few provocative remarks, the two sides immediately challenged each other to a fight."

Su Yueying spread her hands: "After a while, it has evolved into the situation we have now."

"The freshmen in each class are challenging their respective instructors, euphemistically called 'qualification review'."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Bai Ye also came over at this moment, and after listening to Su Yueying's explanation, he chuckled.

"These freshmen are pretty shrewd." Bai Ye stroked his chin. "They know they can't beat us in a one-on-one fight, so they're planning to wear down the instructors with a war of attrition."

"More than a thousand people, how much time will this waste?"

Su Yueying sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Things have developed this way, and the school's higher-ups haven't shown any intention of stopping it. We can only let them take their time."

"Fortunately, the current conflict is limited to battles between the deities themselves."

Su Yueying glanced at the arena and said, "If they really use the followers from the Divine Realm, it would be an army of millions or even tens of millions of followers. Who knows how long the fight would last?"

After listening, Lin Yuan looked up at the sky.

He immediately saw through the school's higher-ups' ulterior motives.

The school is putting pressure on both sides.

Not only should we suppress the arrogance of the new students, but we should also use them to test the mettle of this group of early adopters.

"Thanks," Lin Yuan said to Su Yueying.

He didn't call Chu Xiaoxiao and Tuoba Lie again, but turned around and walked towards the other side of the square.

Seeing this, Bai Ye quickly followed Lin Yuan like a little brother.

Lin Yuan walked through the noisy crowd, his gaze sweeping across the various areas.

He quickly locked onto his target in an open area near ring number seven.

There were about forty new students gathered there.

Unlike the enthusiastic and challenging atmosphere in other classes, this group seemed rather idle.

They gathered in twos and threes, some sitting on the stone steps wiping their weapons.

Some leaned against the wall with their eyes closed, trying to rest, but everyone's face was filled with frustration.

These are the freshmen assigned to the high-risk Class 3.

Lin Yuan walked up to the group of people and stopped.

"Which ones are from the first-year high-risk class 3?" Lin Yuan asked. "I'm Lin Yuan, your instructor for this military training."

The once noisy open space instantly fell silent.

More than forty pairs of eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan.

After a brief silence, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

"Are you the class monitor from the early admission batch?" A freshman with short, dark red hair stepped forward.

The red-haired freshman sized Lin Yuan up and down, then sneered, "You instructors have quite the airs. We've been waiting here for almost 20 minutes, and you're only just now dawdling out."

"What's wrong? The early admission benefits are so good, even your sense of time has deteriorated?"

The burly youth behind the red-haired freshman echoed, cracking his neck, "I thought you guys were too scared to come."

These freshmen were already furious about the dormitory environment and the instructors' identities.

Seeing Lin Yuan and Bai Ye arrive late, they immediately found an outlet for their anger and began to shout loudly.

At the back of the crowd, a fair-skinned boy standing against the wall pushed up his oval glasses.

He looked at his three roommates who were leading the provocation and sighed silently.

He had just witnessed with his own eyes the troublemakers from the neighboring classes who were leading the disturbance.

They beat him so badly in the ring by their instructors that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him. He broke more than a dozen bones and had to be carried straight into the emergency room.

"If a fight breaks out, I'd better just lie down on the ground and surrender."

The fair-skinned boy prayed silently, "I just hope they'll go easy on me and not damage my very essence."

Upon hearing the freshman's provocation, Bai Ye immediately became furious.

"Good heavens." Bai Ye stepped forward and slammed his bone staff heavily on the ground.

"You bunch of grotesque scoundrels, how dare you spout such nonsense in front of me?"

Bai Ye pointed at the newly grown red hair: "Come on, I'm in a hurry today."

"Stop with the gauntlet tactics, all forty of you come at me at once."

"If I don't beat the shit out of you today, I'm not Bai Ye!"

The bone-like luster on Bai Ye's body began to flow, and he was ready to test the results of his month of arduous training.

Enraged by Bai Ye's attitude, the red-haired newcomer flashed a flame in his hand, and a long sword burning with intense fire appeared in his hand.

"Arrogant! I'll see what you're really made of!"

Just as the two sides were about to engage in a fight, tensions rose.

Lin Yuan made a move.

He felt that letting Bai Ye fight these people slowly was a waste of time.

Lin Yuan took a step forward.

Domain release!

A grayish-white force field centered on Lin Yuan enveloped all forty new students.

What was originally a 100-meter radius area was forcibly compressed into this small open space.

The density of the law increases exponentially.

The red-haired newcomer froze as soon as he raised the flaming longsword in his hand.

He felt the space around him suddenly turn into some kind of viscous solid.

The circulation of divine power within his body came to an abrupt halt upon contact with the gray-white force field.

The next second, an indescribable, eerie power descended.

The boundary between life and death is forcibly blurred within this domain.

All the new students felt their life force being drained away.

Their skin began to lose its luster, their muscles rapidly atrophied, and painful wails echoed from the depths of their souls.

The law of "the end" is robbing them of their life.

Just when they thought they were about to die, [Origin] forcibly injected life force into their bodies to repair the damage.

Death, resurrection.

Destruction, reconstruction.

This high-frequency tug-of-war between life and death bypasses physical pain and acts on the deepest part of the soul.

The flaming longsword in the red-haired newcomer's hand silently went out.

He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound; his pupils were dilated with fear.

Just three seconds.

Lin Yuan clenched his five fingers, and the gray-white force field dissipated.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Forty freshmen lost all support and collapsed to the ground.

Their clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and everyone was panting heavily.

No one dared to look up at Lin Yuan.

Just now, there was an arrogant and haughty attitude, and a presumptuous desire to establish authority by stepping on the instructors.

In a three-second cycle of life and death, he was crushed to the point of being nothing.

Behind the crowd, the fair-skinned boy lay on the ground, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

He hadn't even said a word when he was pulled in to experience a life-or-death rebirth.

There's no way to fight this.

He cursed inwardly, wishing a thousand curses upon his three roommates' ancestors.

Lin Yuan didn't even glance at the new students on the ground.

He turned around and said to Bai Ye, who was completely petrified beside him, "Bring them over here. Don't waste time."

After saying that, Lin Yuan took a step and walked back in the direction he had come from.

Bai Ye remained in the same position, holding up his staff, his chin under the mask almost hitting his chest.

"Holy crap... Holy crap... Holy crap!"

Bai Ye cursed inwardly.

What did he just feel?!

field!

Lin Yuan, that guy, actually broke through to the sixth level of demigod without making a sound!

But that wasn't the most surprising thing for Bai Ye.

In a monster-infested camp like Starry Sky University, advancements in one's cultivation level are not unusual.

Many prodigies, if they were willing, could easily use resources to reach the high-level of demigod.

What truly sets people apart is their foundation and their mastery of the laws at the same level.

The domain that Lin Yuan just released completely overturned Bai Ye's understanding of the sixth level of demigod.

How could the density of laws not collapse and backfire when the domain was compressed to that extent?

Bai Ye is also a top-tier prodigy with a sharp eye.

He knew very well that expanding into ordinary areas was easy, but compressing them was extremely difficult.

Forcibly compressing the vast starry sky into a small space, if not handled carefully, will cause a conflict of laws that will blast the caster to pieces.

Furthermore, what flows in that realm is a perfect closed loop of the laws of life and death.

Stripped of mere killing, this is entirely about the suppression of life and death.

Is this a technique that even a demigod could use?

Bai Ye wanted to cry but had no tears.

In the past month, he has almost squeezed the marrow out of the dead under his command, working day and night to deduce the truth.

I thought that by working hard and studying diligently, I could at least close the gap a little.

Now it turns out that Lin Yuan not only ran ahead, but also drove a warp starship!

The more you try to catch up, the more desperate you feel.

"Bai Ye, hurry up!" Lin Yuan's urging voice came from ahead.

Bai Ye came to her senses.

Accept this harsh reality.

Being second is fine too; if the sky falls, you don't have to hold it up yourself.

He turned his head and looked down at the freshmen lying on the ground, especially the red-haired freshman who had been screaming the loudest.

Bai Ye immediately found an outlet.

"Snapped!"

Bai Ye flicked his wrist, and the white bone whip snapped out of the air with a sonic boom, striking the back of the newly grown red-haired man.

"ah--"

The red-haired newborn screamed in agony as his clothes ripped open on his back, leaving his skin torn and bleeding.

The soul poison attached to the white bone whip seeped in, causing his very soul to tremble.

"What are you yelling about! You were quite the yeller just now!"

Bai Ye stomped on the head of the newly grown red-haired boy and coldly shouted, "Hurry up and follow me, or you'll get a whipping!"

The surrounding freshmen trembled in fright and quickly scrambled to their feet.

Bai Ye followed behind, his bone whip occasionally lashing out deep craters in the ground.

"You all better run faster! Anyone who falls behind today, I'll throw them into the pool of the dead and soak them in alcohol!"
