Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the territory of the tyrannical demons.

One hundred and thirty million violent demons occupy a large area of ​​the core territory of the Divine Realm.

This group of liquid metal muscle monsters fully demonstrates the dominance of the overlord of the divine realm.

Wherever these liquid metal muscle monsters set foot, the landscape is completely and devastatingly reshaped.

Their methods of expanding their territory are extremely simple and brutal.

There's a mountain ahead; I'll smash it flat with one punch.

There's a river ahead; we'll move mountains and fill it in.

A network of tributaries of the Styx River, each dozens of miles wide, stretches across the plain.

A horde of kilometer-long monsters strode in.

They plunged their hands into the earth's crust, and the Titan gravity erupted, uprooting the surrounding mountains and smashing them directly into the River Styx.

The earth shook violently, and mud and sand rushed down.

The surging Styx River was immediately cut off.

Some of the smaller monstrous beings simply used the dammed Styx pools as natural bathhouses.

They plunged into the murky, dark waters of the River Styx, letting the deathly aura wash over their liquid metal armor as a post-battle relaxation massage.

The sky, too, has become an absolute no-go zone.

Not a single bird feather could be seen in the clouds above the Demon Lord's territory.

A few foolish demonic vultures and demonic blade bats once tried to fly over the edge of the demonic territory.

The several monstrous demons that were fighting each other below stopped at the same time.

They looked up and then grabbed at the sky with their arms.

A terrifying gravitational net shot into the sky.

The demonic vultures and demonic blade bats instantly lost their ability to fly and plummeted to the ground with screams.

Before they even hit the ground, they were torn into a rain of blood by several spatial cutting forces, and swallowed into the monster's stomach along with bone fragments.

Since then, the Demon Vulture and Demon Blade Bat would rather take a detour of tens of thousands of kilometers than dare to linger over the territory of the Demon Lord for even a second longer.

Lin Yuan retrieved the overall data of the Violent Demon Clan.

With the combined buffs of [Desperate Rebirth] and [Chaotic Evolution], the power of this group of old tyrants expanded at an outrageous rate.

Just a thousand years later, the number of epic-rank monsters exceeded ten million.

The sheer number of them meant that the entire central basin simply couldn't contain so many high-level monsters.

To enter the core of the Central Basin and secure a place to survive in the Blood Abyss Sea, the threshold has been raised to Epic-tier five-star.

If you don't meet this standard, even if you're an epic four-star, you'll just have to obediently roll to the outer edge of the basin and eat dirt.

Extraordinary is nothing compared to dog, epic is everywhere.

This is the current state of the Violent Demon race.

Lin Yuan used his mind to probe the tyrant's condition.

The progenitor of this violent demon race is currently in seclusion in the deepest part of the Sumeru World.

The tyrant's body had been compressed to less than a hundred meters, and the dark golden patterns on its surface emanated a strange luster that was almost like the Daoist philosophy.

His aura was as deep as an abyss, stuck on the threshold of the half-step legendary level, unable to take the final step.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.

Legendary beings have already touched the edge of divinity.

This kind of leap cannot be achieved simply by accumulating resources.

It requires a deep understanding of the laws and a complete transformation at the level of the soul.

The reason why the Demon Tree was able to easily break through the Legendary rank and reach the Legendary Six-Star level is because...

Ultimately, it's because it once devoured god-level terms, and its own essence inherently possesses divine radiance.

Although the tyrant possessed extraordinary talents, he was ultimately a mortal being who had transformed.

It needs time to integrate the various laws within its body, and it needs an opportunity to ignite its own Great Dao.

It can't be rushed.

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze from the Tyrant and looked back at the Demon Basin.

He wanted to see what kind of qualitative change the new feature of [Chaotic Evolution] would bring to these muscle monsters.

Soon, his gaze fell upon a battle taking place at the edge of the basin.

The two sides in the battle were a traditional six-armed tyrant, and the other was extremely bizarre in appearance.

That was a branch of a four-headed, two-armed demon.

Four heads, two arms.

In the past, this would usually be considered a defective product among violent demon groups.

Lin Yuan carefully observed this strange creature.

Its four heads each displayed a different color, and different runes of law flowed in its eyes.

Dark gold represents metal and stone, pitch black represents nothingness, ice blue represents extreme cold, and scarlet represents vital energy and blood.

The six-armed tyrant roared and charged forward, its six liquid metal hammers sealing off all space.

The four-headed, two-armed demon advanced instead of retreating.

Its four heads simultaneously let out a low growl.

Four distinct laws surged along its thick cervical spine and into its remaining two enormous arms.

He raised his right arm and threw a punch.

This punch had no fancy techniques whatsoever.

Above the fist, Titan's gravity distorts space, the lurking void devours light, extreme cold freezes everything, and the power of withered bones strips away life.

Four effects in one.

boom!

Upon contact with the fist, the six heavy hammers of the six-armed tyrant decomposed directly into the most primitive metal particles.

Then the force surged straight in, piercing through its chest.

The kilometer-tall body stood frozen in place.

The next second, the six-armed tyrant's entire body turned into a puddle of mud mixed with ice shards and broken bones, and he died instantly.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

This is practically a walking, talking crucible of laws.

【Chaotic Evolution】Smooths out the hidden dangers of conflicting laws, allowing these violent demons to dare to discard superfluous limbs and maximize the deductive abilities of their brains.

The four heads are dedicated to comprehending the laws, while the two arms are responsible for bearing and outputting.

This extreme evolutionary path would have killed the monster long ago due to the conflicting laws causing it to explode.

"Well done," Lin Yuan praised.

After observing the changes in the tyrannical demon, Lin Yuan turned his attention to the towering water columns he had seen earlier.

He flashed and instantly teleported to the far east.

This area contains the main trunk of a giant Styx River, tens of thousands of miles wide, and is also the core area where water columns appear most frequently.

As soon as Lin Yuan appeared, he was stunned when he saw the scene below.

The liquid gold crabs and bone fish that once ruled this River Styx have all disappeared.

Instead, he encountered two entirely new races he had never seen before.

The outlines of bony fish remain faintly visible on them, but their life forms have undergone a complete transformation.

Lin Yuan immediately opened the Divine Realm panel to check.

The data revealed that these two new races were indeed evolved from the Bone Fish of the Divine Realm!

His gaze fell on the first creature.

A colossal creature with a body length exceeding three thousand meters.

【Species Name: Bloodlust Fish】

[Rank: Peak Epic]

[Core Ability 1: Flesh and Blood Pagoda. This species can devour all living flesh and blood tissue, forcibly transforming it into its own Netherblood True Body. The more it devours, the greater its size and power become, ignoring cross-species genetic rejection.]

[Core Ability 2: Reversal of Life and Death. Achieving a perfect balance between death energy and life force within the body. Upon suffering a fatal injury, the death energy can be instantly transformed into extreme life force, achieving limb regeneration and physical reconstruction, making the individual extremely difficult to kill completely.]

[Core Ability 3: Netherblood Abyss Realm. Opening its massive maw, it releases compressed Styx death energy from its body, forming an abyss domain spanning hundreds of miles. Gravity within the domain doubles, and enemies are continuously eroded by the death energy, resulting in the dual decay of their soul and body.]

[Core Ability 4: Bone Armor. When encountering a powerful enemy, one can manipulate the internal skeleton to pierce through flesh and blood, forming a layer of absolute defensive armor covering the entire body. The bone armor possesses high-frequency vibration and spatial cutting resistance.]

[Core Ability 5: Life-Depriving Chains. Forces the boiling, dark red blood from the body to solidify into an unbreakable, tangible chain. The chain possesses extremely strong penetrating power; once it pierces a target, it forcibly drains the enemy's life force, replenishing the user's own energy.]

Lin Yuan gasped.

This Bloodstained Fish is essentially a heavily armored fortress designed for continuous combat.

The flesh and blood pagoda guarantees its growth ceiling, while the reversal of life and death grants it a terrifying margin for error.

In melee combat, they have skeleton weapons; in ranged combat, they have chains that strip them of their power; and they can also create domains to control the battlefield.

This control panel is absolutely insane.

Before he could recover from his shock, his gaze shifted to another creature.

A dark shadow suspended deep within the River Styx.

It has no physical form, no skeleton, and not even a fixed shape.

Only a wisp of eerie blue soul fire flickered in the center of the darkness, like a miniature black hole that devoured everything.

[Species Name: Urobuchi Necromancer]

[Rank: Peak Epic]

[Core Ability 1: Absolute Nothingness. Completely abandoning material existence, transforming into a pure aggregate of shadow and soul. Immune to all purely physical attacks and conventional elemental strikes; only high-level soul laws or mental attacks can inflict effective damage.]

[Core Ability 2: Soul Assimilation. Ignoring most physical defenses and energy shields. Shadow tentacles pierce into the target's body, forcibly stripping away and devouring the soul spark of lower-level beings, transforming it into nourishment for its own growth.]

[Core Ability 3: Shadow Realm. Establishes a deep connection with the shadow dimension. Allows for instantaneous teleportation regardless of distance or obstacles wherever shadows exist, making them extremely adept at assassination and battlefield cleanup.]

[Core Ability 4: Necromancer Puppet. Injects one's own shadow essence into the soulless bodies of enemies. Forcefully controlling these bodies in battle, the puppet retains 70% of its original physical and magical combat power, and is immune to pain and death.]

[Core Ability 5: Abyssal Gaze. The central azure soul fire locks onto the target, releasing a high-frequency mental shock that directly attacks the soul. It forcibly triggers the deepest fear within the enemy, causing the laws within their body to spiral out of control and plunging them into a brief state of frenzy.]

After looking at the stats of these two species, Lin Yuan exclaimed inwardly, "Holy crap!"

The Bone Fish, who usually serves as a background character in the Divine Realm, is exploited by the Zerg, and eaten as a snack by the Berserkers, has actually come up with such a powerful move!

One has developed the physical body and blood to their fullest potential, while the other has explored the shadows of the soul to an extraordinary degree.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil.

He knew very well that the Bone Fish Clan's ability to achieve such an exaggerated leap in life was absolutely inseparable from the contribution of [Chaotic Evolution].

Life and death, flesh and soul, matter and nothingness.

These extreme laws, which should be irreconcilable, are forcibly mixed together under the influence of [chaotic evolution], giving birth to this abnormal species that defies common sense.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a surge of relief.

If only I had honestly and methodically focused on condensing the rudimentary form of divinity through the concepts of "End and Origin".

The underlying rules of the divine realm will not give rise to such a heaven-defying characteristic as [chaotic evolution].

The bone fish clan, at most, just have harder bones and brighter soul flames.

It's impossible to break down species barriers and achieve upward social mobility like we do now.

The Furnace of Ten Thousand Paths—this unconventional path—was the right one for him!

Lin Yuan looked down at the Blood-Stained Skeleton Fish churning in the River Styx and the Void Abyss Undead darting through the shadows, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

That's right.

That's it.

Raise the ceiling dramatically!

As long as you dare to mutate, I'm willing to cover your losses!

After admiring the amazing performance of the Bone Fish Clan, Lin Yuan began to take stock of the numbers and conditions of the other races.

First, there's the Zerg.

This race, which holds an absolute numerical advantage in the divine realm, has lived up to its mission.

The total number remains above 2.3 billion.

Under the leadership of the Zerg Overlord, the Zerg's adaptation list includes...

Not only were the genes of the Violent Demons targeted, but the newly emerged Bloodstained Fish and Void Undead were also spared.

Dark red Netherblood patterns appeared on the carapaces of numerous Source Insects, or the soul-devouring Void Abyss Black Mist swirled around the edges of their wings.

The Zerg army's unit composition has become more complex and unpredictable.

Next up are the sea and air races.

The total number is over 1.2 billion.

Compared to the domineering nature of the Tyrant and the stunning performance of the Bone Fish, the performance of the Sea and Sky races was relatively ordinary and unremarkable.

Like the Fire Spirits, they are trying their best to utilize the characteristics of [Chaotic Evolution].

To comprehend multiple laws within the body and pursue a synergistic effect where 1+1>2.

However, the sea and air forces still managed to pull off some clever tricks.

Among the high-ranking beings of the sea and air races, many prefer to live in the shadow dimension, or simply plunge headlong into the void turbulence to hone their physical bodies.

While other races occasionally venture into these areas, their presence is nowhere near as exaggerated as that of the sea and air races.

This flock of demonic vultures and demonic blade bats has practically made the shadow dimension their home.

The Fire Spirit race has a stable population of around 300 million.

They stay quietly in the volcanic clusters of the far north, absorbing the earth's fiery energy, combining thunder and extreme cold, and making a fortune in silence.

As for liquid gold crab...

When Lin Yuan saw the data on the Liquid Gold Crab, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The quantity is only over 200 million.

Due to the rise of the Bone Fish clan, the two new branches launched a brutal purge of the Styx River.

The liquid gold crabs, which also share the same ecological niche as the Styx River, were completely overwhelmed and were all relegated to the lower rank.

Lin Yuan didn't care much about this.

As creatures of the Styx River, their current plight can only be attributed to natural selection and survival of the fittest.

The divine realm has no need for useless people. It is only natural that it cannot withstand the tide of evolution and will be eliminated.

Inventory complete.

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with the current state of the Divine Realm.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex suppresses the land, the Zerg dominate the entire battlefield, the Bonefish and its two branches control the waters, the sea and air races transform into shadow assassins, and the Fire Spirits advance steadily and surely.

Apart from the crippled Liquid Gold Crab, the entire ecosystem of the Divine Realm is perfectly closed, and its combat power is showing explosive growth.

Everything is ready.

With a thought, Lin Yuan's consciousness detached from the core of the divine realm.

He felt a sense of weightlessness, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in the living room of Villa 079.

He stood up, walked to the French windows, and gazed through the glass at the starry night sky outside the Death Star.

On the surface, Lin Yuan was looking at the night view outside.

In reality, his thoughts had already soared across the endless starry sky, landing on the upcoming battlefield of the Blood Pact among myriad races.

He possessed a variety of divine artifacts, including the Star-Treading Boots, the Shadowless Cloak of Annihilation, and the Soul-Suppressing Seal of the Void.

The Blood Sword emitted a humming sound, yearning for blood.
