Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

Inside the warship's lounge, the atmosphere changed as the metal hatch reopened.

Chu Xiaoxiao stepped into the hall.

Today she was wearing a fitted black combat suit, and her signature black-rimmed glasses were back on.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her steps were light and quick.

After experiencing the emotion-erasing mechanical ascension in the Rubik's Cube world, she underwent a wondrous rebirth.

At this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao shed her previous cold and aloof demeanor, revealing a lively and vibrant side to her.

"Class monitor." Chu Xiaoxiao walked to the circular sofa and nodded to Lin Yuan in greeting.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly in response.

Chu Xiaoxiao chose a single sofa that was neither too close nor too far from Lin Yuan and sat down.

Shortly after Chu Xiaoxiao sat down, crisp footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Su Yue walked in.

She was dressed in a crisp white tactical uniform, her long hair tied in a high ponytail.

Su Yueying's gaze quickly swept around the hall before finally settling on Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan," Su Yueying greeted him in a clear, melodious voice.

"Mmm." Lin Yuan pointed to the empty seat opposite.

Su Yueying did not sit down immediately; her gaze passed over Lin Yuan and landed directly on Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao also raised her head to meet Su Yueying's gaze.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

The airflow in the hall seemed to slow down slightly as a result.

Su Yueying slightly raised her chin, a smile on her face.

Chu Xiaoxiao met his gaze without backing down, her expression calm and confident.

Lin Yuan leaned back on the leather sofa, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two women.

He could clearly sense that the atmosphere around him had become somewhat subtle.

This subtlety does not involve a clash of laws, nor does it exude any murderous aura.

It's purely a battle of wills between two genius girls who refuse to admit defeat.

Lin Yuan separated a wisp of his spiritual power and probed towards Bai Ye.

"What's the situation with those two?"

Bai Ye sat upright, eyes downcast, his mental energy rapidly transmitting back: "Women, you know how they are."

"The selection competition really got heated; nobody was willing to concede to anyone else."

"God knows what they're thinking, we'd better not get involved."

Lin Yuan agreed with the suggestion.

He withdrew his mental energy, simply closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Seeing Lin Yuan's indifferent expression, Bai Ye opened her mouth, but ultimately kept it closed.

Although he's usually a chatterbox, he's still quite intelligent.

I know that interrupting at a time like this can easily backfire.

Just then, the hatch opened for the third time.

A young man with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes sauntered in.

He was wearing a wrinkled gray robe and cloth shoes, and he looked extremely tired, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.

Jiang Tai'a.

"Hello everyone..." Jiang Tai'a yawned deeply, and two physiological tears squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.

He waved casually, as if to say hello to everyone.

Then, without even glancing at the delicate situation in the hall, he walked straight to the largest long sofa in the corner.

His body swayed and he fell down.

Three seconds later.

A soft, rhythmic snoring sound filled the hall.

Su Yueying frowned.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Bai Ye's eyes widened, and the hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, glanced at the guy sleeping sprawled out in the corner, and then closed his eyes again.

The composition of this advance team is truly bizarre, with each member being more unusual than the last.

……

On the other side, on the starport platform outside the warship.

Xingyun was dressed in a well-tailored casual outfit, with a gentle and humble smile on her face.

He was standing at the edge of the platform, talking to a young man in a gray robe.

It was his cousin, Xingjin.

"Cousin, the battlefield for the third-year advance team is the most dangerous. The situation on the front lines is complex, so you must be extra careful," Xingyun said with concern and sincerity in her eyes.

Xingjin looked at his cousin in front of him, his feelings were somewhat complicated.

Two years ago, when he was a freshman, he was also selected for the advance team.

On that occasion, he encountered several formidable figures from alien royal courts on the battlefield of ten thousand races, and his performance was at the bottom, almost costing him his life.

This incident became a thorn in his side and also affected his status within the family.

Now a junior, Starry Sky University once again assembled its vanguard, and he went to great lengths to secure a spot.

This time, he must wash away his past shame and prove his worth.

"Thank you for your kind words." Xingjin forced a smile.

He reached out and patted Xingyun on the shoulder. "You too."

"Freshmen going to that kind of hellish battlefield, don't be reckless. If you encounter problems you can't solve, survival comes first."

"Don't worry, cousin, I'll take good care of myself." Xingyun nodded emphatically.

Star Ember said no more and turned to walk toward the giant warship docked on the other side of the starport.

Starfall stood still, watching Starfall's figure disappear completely behind the hatch.

The concerned smile on his face gradually faded, and a hint of disdain flashed deep in his eyes.

Failed in freshman year, then try again in junior year?

Those old guys in the family just waste resources on these mediocre people.

Xingyun raised her hand to straighten her collar, putting on her harmless and gentle expression again.

He turned around and walked toward the cabin door of the freshman advance force's warship.

Inside the lobby.

The sound of the hatch opening broke the brief silence, and Starfall entered the hall.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xingyun. Nice to meet you all, and I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

Xingyun's voice was clear and bright, and his attitude was humble and polite.

He walked to the circular sofa and sincerely scanned everyone present.

Su Yueying and Chu Xiaoxiao looked at him at the same time.

Bai Ye also put down his wine glass, his eyes filled with a scrutinizing look.

Xingyun ignored the gazes of the crowd. He reached out and gently touched his storage ring, taking out several exquisitely carved sandalwood boxes.

"This is a specialty of the Central Star Sector: a calming and soothing aromatherapy product."

"This is a small token of my appreciation since we've just met. I hope you won't find it offensive."

Xingyun walked up to Su Yueying and handed her a wooden box with both hands.

Su Yueying looked surprised and reached out to take it, saying, "Thank you."

Xingyun smiled and walked towards Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment, then accepted the wooden box and replied with a thank you.

Bai Ye stared at the wooden box handed to him, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Born into a prestigious family, he knew all too well what kind of people the scions of those families with top-tier divine talents were like.

They all looked down on people, as if they wanted to look down on them with their chins.

This Xing family genius, who has just completed the awakening of his dual S-level bloodline, is actually so approachable?

They even prepared gifts for everyone?

"Thank you very much, Brother Xingyun." Bai Ye accepted the wooden box and thanked him with a smile.

Starfall smiled in response, then walked to a corner.

He glanced at Jiang Tai'a, who was sleeping soundly, but did not make a sound to disturb him. He simply placed the wooden box gently on the edge of the sofa.

Finally, Xingyun walked up to Lin Yuan.

"Captain Lin Yuan." Xing Yun held the wooden box in both hands and handed it to Lin Yuan, her tone revealing just the right amount of respect.

"I've long admired your name. It's a real pity I didn't get to play against you in the qualifiers."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze lingering on Xingyun's face for a moment.

He reached out and took the wooden box.

"You're welcome," Lin Yuan replied with two words.

Xingyun nodded, turned around and walked to an empty single sofa, sitting down with her hands neatly placed on her knees, looking obedient and well-behaved.

The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat strange because of Xingyun's actions.

Everyone expected to encounter a proud and arrogant troublemaker, but the other party behaved like a kind little lamb.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, a crackling sound of electricity suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the hall.

Wen Muxue's impatient voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Everyone's here? Those who needed to be met have been met. The warship will take off immediately, target: Chaotic Starfield."

"Those who want to chat in the lobby can continue, and those who don't have time, there are plenty of rooms on the warship."

"Choose a room yourself, whether it's a divine realm simulation or a place to sleep."

The broadcast abruptly stopped.

Lin Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth; this was very much like Wen Muxue.

The teacher in charge of the team didn't even show his face, completely shirking his responsibilities.

Lin Yuan stood up, grabbed the sandalwood box beside him, and walked towards the rest area corridor.

Seeing Lin Yuan leave, Chu Xiaoxiao and Su Yueying also got up one after another.

The two each chose a passage leading in a different direction and turned to leave the hall.

Seeing this, Bai Ye quickly grabbed his wooden box and followed Lin Yuan's footsteps.

In the vast front hall, only Xingyun, who was sitting upright, and Jiang Tai'a, who was still snoring in the corner, were left in the blink of an eye.

The broadcast seemed to have finally woken Jiang Tai'a.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up.

Looking at the empty hall, he was completely bewildered.

"Where have they all gone?"

Finding no one paying attention to him, Jiang Tai'a scratched his messy hair, leaned to one side, and fell asleep on the sofa again in an instant.

……

Inside the rest area corridor.

Bai Ye quickly caught up with Lin Yuan, moved closer to him, and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Lin Yuan, what do you think of that meteor shower?"

Lin Yuan slowed his pace and glanced at him: "Quite polite, knows how to behave."

"Forget it!" Bai Ye curled his lip, looking disgusted. "Let me tell you, I've seen plenty of people like this."

"Look at his seemingly harmless, gentle, and unassuming appearance. A pure white lotus, he's definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

Hearing Bai Ye's evaluation, Lin Yuan stopped and turned to look at him.

Why do I always feel like there's a hidden agenda behind Bai Ye's words, a hint of personal agenda, or even a bit of targeting?

Seeing Lin Yuan's disbelieving look, Bai Ye put away his usual playful smile and his expression became unusually serious.

"Brother Lin Yuan, believe it or not, this kid gives me a very strange feeling."

"His smile was so fake, every inch of his facial muscles was acting. Looking at him made me feel uncomfortable all over, and a chill seemed to seep into my bones."

"That feeling is like watching a venomous snake coiled up, hiding its fangs under its belly."

After listening to Bai Ye's explanation, Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

He recalled the scene in the hall just now.

The moment Xingyun entered, her gaze did indeed linger on him for a fleeting instant.

Although it was well concealed, that momentary emotional fluctuation was by no means benevolent.

Lin Yuan didn't care at the time, after all, there were too many people who wanted to step on him to get ahead, and he was already used to it.

Now that Bai Ye has analyzed it this way, this meteor shower is indeed somewhat abnormal.
