Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

Lin Yuan looked at the gray ball of light floating in his palm.

The light cluster was only the size of a thumb, with a layer of gray shimmering on its surface.

The moment his fingertips touched it, he could sense a pure rhythm of law.

This is the original concept stripped away; it has no physical form and is free of impurities.

He turned his gaze downwards.

On the scorched earth of 300,000 square kilometers, the screams of one hundred gray goblins have ceased.

The poisonous gas rapidly corroded their internal organs through their respiratory tracts, while the cracked, scorched earth beneath their feet burned their skin and tore them open.

Several of the weakest goblins had their eyes rolled back, their limbs twitching unnaturally, and they were spitting out white foam with streaks of blood.

In the textbooks of the Divine Academy, gray goblins are explicitly defined as "non-recyclable waste".

Cowardly, weak, with low brain capacity and extremely short lifespan.

Aside from eating everything, he's utterly useless.

Even if they are destitute, they will tighten their belts and save money to buy kobolds when they first start building up their army.

"But what if trash is paired with wasteland, and then patched with legal changes?"

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Without hesitation, his mind stirred.

The Divine Realm panel automatically deducts 100 Faith Points as an energy medium.

He spread his five fingers and crushed the [Stone Skin] orb in his hand.

Activate your talent.

Extracting from Creation - Assigning Terms!

The ball of light exploded, transforming into a hundred hazy, gray streaks of light.

It ripped through the ashen sky and crashed into the dying gray goblin below.

A sudden change occurred.

"Chirp—quack!!!"

One hundred gray goblins sprang up from the ground and began scratching their own bodies.

Their skin undergoes metamorphosis at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The pale green skin quickly dried up, as if all the moisture had been instantly drained away.

The skin surface was cracked over a large area, like a parched riverbed.

From the depths of those bloody, mangled cracks, a layer of grayish-black rock cuticle grew out and gradually covered the entire body.

The bones were stretching, the muscles were expanding, making a cracking sound.

In just five minutes.

The transformation is over.

The scorched earth fell silent, and a hundred brand-new creatures stood upright.

Their originally small, less than one-meter-tall bodies have grown an average of more than thirty centimeters taller.

His limbs became thick and powerful, and his whole body was covered with hard, gray-black rock armor.

Even the tattered wooden sticks in their hands were covered with a layer of rough stone, turning them into heavy petrified flails.

They were breathing in the air mixed with poisonous gases.

No cough, no toxic plaques.

The hard rock surface insulates the soil from the high temperatures of the scorched earth and the erosion of the toxic fumes.

A screen of light unfolded in Lin Yuan's consciousness.

[Log: Your clan has been affected by higher-level laws, resulting in an unknown benign mutation!]

[Log: Race renamed to - Petrified Goblin.]

[Log: Racial rank promoted to - Black Iron Three Stars!]

With a thought, Lin Yuan brought up the detailed attribute panel of his clan.

[Race]: Petrified Goblin

[Rank]: Black Iron Three Stars (Low-Tier)

【characteristic】:

1. Wasteland Adaptation: Immune to weak toxins, greatly reducing the negative effects of high-temperature environments.

2. Stone Skin Armor: The skin becomes petrified, increasing physical defense by 300%.

Lin Yuan stared at the last line of data and let out a long breath.

The social hierarchy within the clan was extremely strict.

In the textbooks of the divine world, the hierarchy of the kin is extremely strict.

The lower tiers are Iron, Bronze, and Silver; the middle tiers are Gold, Platinum, and Diamond; and the higher tiers are Extraordinary, Epic, and Legendary.

Each major rank is further subdivided into nine stars.

To advance a clan's rank, one must either allow it to reproduce for several generations in the divine realm in exchange for the extremely low probability of a natural bloodline mutation.

To raise a deity, one must spend an exorbitant amount of faith points to purchase a high-level [Bloodline Card].

Ordinary gray goblins can barely even reach one-star Black Iron rank, let alone advance to higher ranks.

But now, just a single entry extracted from a piece of junk has allowed them to overcome the barrier and leap to the Black Iron Three-Star level.

below.

The petrified goblins recovered from the excruciating pain of their metamorphosis.

They sensed the power within them, and the harsh environment that could no longer harm them.

They, with their low intelligence, instinctively understood one thing.

This is divine grace.

Thump, thump.

One hundred petrified goblins knelt on the scorching hot earth, their hands raised above their heads, frantically kowtowing towards the sky.

"Great Lord!"

"Praise be to your kindness!"

Fanatical shouts echoed across the wasteland.

A wisp of pure white faith power, invisible to the naked eye, drifted out from above their heads and gathered into the depths of Lin Yuan's consciousness.

Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air, looking down at these reborn creations.

His heart began to beat faster, and his blood flowed quicker.

He finally realized the most terrifying aspect of the unique SSS-level talent, [Creation Extraction].

Unlimited attempts.

There is no upper limit.

Today he can apply Stone Skin to goblins, tomorrow he can apply Berserk, Reproduction, Might, and Bloodlust.

As long as he has enough resources, he can add up to an unlimited number of keywords!

They stacked these universally acknowledged bottom-level cannon fodder from the divine world layer by layer into a Titan behemoth capable of shattering stars with a single punch.

What's wrong with starting in the wasteland?

Wasteland paired with Frankenstein's monsters—this is going to turn the entire galaxy upside down.

After the initial euphoria, Lin Yuan struggled to suppress his emotions and regain his composure.

He checked his mental state and felt a dull ache in his temples.

Extracting and assigning terms requires a great deal of mental energy.

More importantly, it's about faith.

I just assigned 100 entries, which cost 100 points. I now have 900 points left in my welfare account.

If you want to expand the size of your clan, or assign it a higher-level conceptual term.

He needs a huge amount of faith points, as well as a constant supply of "raw materials".

Where can I get the materials?

With a thought, Lin Yuan withdrew his consciousness from the divine realm space.

I opened my eyes to find myself in a dimly lit bedroom.

The clock on the wall made a monotonous ticking sound.

He raised his left hand and tapped the divine terminal on his wrist.

Pupil recognition passed.

Log in to the "Pantheon Trading Network," which covers the entire star system of humanity.

The light screen was projected into mid-air.

The homepage features a scrolling display of various dazzling and exquisite resource cards.

【Seed of the Elf Mother Tree】—Provides pure natural laws, Price: 3 million Faith Points.

[Platinum Grade Miniature Elemental Volcano Card] - Changes the landscape of the Divine Realm and greatly enhances the combat power of the Fire-type Familiar. Price: 9000 million Faith Points.

[Angel Rebirth Pool] - Extremely low probability of hatching a Gold-level potential unit. Price: 150 million Faith Points.

Lin Yuan glanced at the balance in the upper right corner of his terminal: 900 Faith Points.

He swiped away from these crime-inducing interfaces without any expression.

Everyone wants good things, but now even glancing at them is a waste of time.

He clicked on the advanced search options.

Among the densely packed filtering criteria, scroll directly to the bottom "waste zone".

Fingers rapidly tapped on the virtual keyboard, typing in several keywords:

[Wreckage of the Abyss Battlefield]

[Cannot be purified]

[Unknown Curse]

【Scrap Waste】

The world of gods has been fighting against the abyss for tens of thousands of years.

Every day, gods fall and countless demons are slain.

The spoils of war captured on the battlefield were countless.

However, the abyssal aura is extremely polluting.

Many high-level monster corpses and broken artifacts have been deeply corrupted by the will of the abyss.

To purify these things, one needs the intervention of a high-ranking deity, and the cost would far exceed the value of the items themselves.

If it is thrown directly into the divine realm without being purified, the abyssal aura will gradually pollute the land, causing the kin to go mad and mutate, and ultimately the divine realm will collapse.

Therefore, these kinds of things are called "cancer" on trading websites.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

Most of them were disposed of as garbage.

But for Lin Yuan, this was undoubtedly an untapped treasure trove.
