Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

Lin Yuan flipped his right hand.

A stone tablet, entirely gray and white, with cracks and ancient array patterns covering its surface, appeared in the palm of his hand.

He tossed it casually.

The ten-meter-tall [Star Spirit Gene Monument] crashed onto the open ground in the very center of the Blood Abyss Sea.

The square stone lay lifeless on the ground, like a giant tombstone.

Lin Yuan turned his head, his gaze locking onto the towering [Liquid Gold Blood-Devouring Demon Tree] not far away.

"Connect to it," Lin Yuan issued the divine decree.

The massive trunk of the demon tree trembled.

Tens of thousands of liquid metal roots that were anchored in the sea of ​​blood stopped moving.

The leaves rustled in protest.

As the overlord of the divine realm, the Demon Tree possesses the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.

It greedily devours the earth's fiery poison and blood sea energy to nurture the high-energy flesh cocoons on the tree branches.

Now, if it were asked to divert pure bioelectric energy to a broken rock, it would instinctively feel repulsion.

Several thick roots even shrank back.

Are you rejecting me?

Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air, his tone completely flat.

The next second, the laws of the entire wasteland god realm descended.

Lin Yuan's eyes shone with a dazzling dark golden light.

The supreme, cold, and unyielding divine will manifested as tangible pressure, slamming down on the trunk of the demonic tree.

"Snap!"

The space around the demon tree shattered inch by inch.

The seawater of the Blood Abyss Sea suddenly stopped churning and was forcibly flattened.

The raging radiation storm in the sky was abruptly halted.

The will of the Creator is beyond question.

The demon tree emitted a painful hum, its crown trembling violently, as if pleading.

It finally suppressed its instinctive greed.

Thousands of thick, liquid metal roots burst forth from the ground and quickly coiled around the base of the monument above.

The root tips transformed into probes, piercing into the dried-up energy circuit of the monument.

"Boom!"

A massive amount of bioelectric energy flowed back into the Star Spirit Gene Tablet along the roots of the Demon Tree.

On the once lifeless, gray-white stone tablet, ancient and intricate star spirit array patterns began to light up layer by layer.

The eerie blue light dispelled the surrounding crimson mist.

At the top of the monument, a rhombus-shaped energy crystal re-condensed, releasing rings of visible gene-guiding force fields.

The square stele has been activated.

Lin Yuan dissipated his oppressive aura.

He raised his hand and presented the two maps that Xiao Lie had given him: the Titan Beast Gene Map and the Void Shadow Beast Gene Map.

It was directly slapped into the crystal at the top of the square tablet.

"Buzz—!"

The pale blue light split in two.

On the left side of the monument, a dark golden mountain silhouette appears.

Heavy, violent, and filled with an absolute sense of power.

It is the "Titan" route of physical defense.

The monument on the right was shrouded in a deep black shadow.

Emptiness, eeriness, as if it could devour all light.

It is the "Shadow" route of assassination and stealth.

Gene-guided force field took shape, covering the entire territory of the Demon Lord.

All the violent demons that sensed this fluctuation stopped fighting.

They raised their heads, their eyes revealing a burning desire.

Evolutionary instincts ingrained in their genes drove them closer to that monument.

Lin Yuan looked down from his high position, and his voice resounded in the minds of every member of the clan.

"My family."

"Whoever touches the monument will obtain the ultimate method of evolution!"

"Following your own hearts, you have chosen your path!"

A divine oracle was issued.

A tyrant, standing six meters tall, charged out from the depths of the gladiator cage.

The dozen or so monstrous creatures that blocked its path were kicked so hard that their bones shattered and they flew through the air.

The tyrant rushed to the front of the monument and occupied the best seat with the most concentrated energy.

It pressed its metal arms onto the dark gold "Titan" monument on the left.

With the example of a king.

The 50,000-strong army of tyrannical demons went completely mad and surged toward the monument.

Differentiation has begun.

The massive, head-on berserker lunged towards the "Titan Route" on the left.

Bathed in dark gold light, their bodies swelled, and liquid metal condensed on their surfaces into thicker, more exaggerated tower shield shapes.

Other, smaller-sized monsters that rely more on speed and skill in combat take the "Shadow Route" on the right.

When they touched the shadow monument, their bodies did not expand; instead, they began to elongate and thin.

The black metallic surface gradually loses its luster, turning into a matte material that absorbs light.

The aura gradually blended into the surrounding crimson mist, making them virtually undetectable unless one looked closely.

Extreme heavy-armored warriors, and extreme faceless assassins.

Lin Yuan hovered high in the sky, looking down at the two distinct evolutionary paths below, a smile playing on his lips.

Resources have been invested, and the direction has been set.

The rest is simply letting these monsters fill these two gene chains through endless battles.

"Midterm exams..." Lin Yuan murmured to himself.

After confirming that the monument was operating stably, consciousness returned to reality.

Lin Yuan rubbed his temples.

I was just about to pour myself a glass of water when my personal terminal on the table started vibrating.

The indicator light in the upper right corner lit up with a glaring red light.

Lin Yuan tapped the screen.

That virtual chat group—【Star Ring Truth Salon】.

The entire chat was flooded with messages from the same person.

【Xiao Ting of the Xiao Family in the Provincial Capital】: @Jiangcheng-Commoner Sequence-Lin Yuan.

Where are they? They took 200 million yuan from the military region and are now playing dead, huh?

【Xiao Ting of the Xiao Family in the Provincial Capital】: @Jiangcheng-Commoner Sequence-Lin Yuan.

Speak up! The big exam is coming up soon, what's wrong? Are you hiding in your trash heap, too ashamed to show your face?

Xiao Ting not only tagged Lin Yuan repeatedly, but also posted a screenshot in the group chat.

This is a list of elite senior high school students in the province – the [Provincial Rising Star List].

The list is filled with names embossed in gold.

Xiao Ting's name was prominently listed among the top 100, followed by a long list of dazzling achievements and assessments of divine realm resources.

Xiao Ting continued posting in the group chat.

[Xiao Ting of the Xiao Family in the Provincial Capital]: Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is the real strength level.

[Xiao Ting from the Xiao Family of the Provincial Capital]: I scrolled through two thousand names and didn't even see yours.

Does someone who exploits loopholes in the real-world assessment mechanism and uses low-level cannon fodder to rack up points deserve an S-level spot?

[Xiao Ting of the Xiao Family in the Provincial Capital]: When the midterm exams for the entire province collide, I will make you understand how deep the gap is between commoners and aristocratic families.

The rest of the group members were mostly lurking and watching the show, with Murong Bai, Chu Yunxuan, and others occasionally sending out a "watching the fun" emoji.

No one interrupted Xiao Ting's performance.

Su Yueying didn't say anything more, seemingly waiting for Lin Yuan's reaction.

Lin Yuan sat in the chair, thinking that this person was mentally ill.

Lin Yuan thought she was quite naive, a hothouse flower who valued empty fame and relied on her family's heritage to assert her presence.

Lin Yuan swiped his finger and set the group chat to "deep do not disturb" mode.

Xiao Ting's barking was blocked.

However, the "Provincial Rising Star Ranking" in Xiao Ting's screenshot did pique Lin Yuan's interest.

He accessed the military's intranet and entered search terms.

He quickly figured out where this thing came from.

It is a virtual platform relying on the military and all federal universities. 【Starry Sky Chess Sandbox】.

Lin Yuan clicked on the section introduction.

The interface darkened, and lines of text depicting burning war appeared.

[Starry Sky Wargame Sandbox: Jointly created by the Federation's Supreme Military Academy of Sciences and the masterminds of major star sectors.]

[100% Authentic Law Simulation. Includes data on millions of abyssal monsters and divine units from the Star Sea.]

Here, in the war of the divine realm, death has no penalty. You can strategize in extreme circumstances; this is the highest holy ground where all the gods of the Federation hone their killing skills.

"No loss upon death? A true simulation?" Lin Yuan murmured.

He swiped his finger and opened the overall leaderboard of "Starry Sky Chess".

This is different from the "Rising Star Ranking" that Xiao Ting just posted, which is only for high school students.

This is the overall list that is open to the entire federation.

The moment it was turned on, a sense of oppression rushed out through the screen.

None of the names at the top of the list are unknown.

[Top 1: Governor-General of Tianhai Province - Lei Zhentian.]

[Top 4: Po Jun, Deputy Commander of the Starfire Legion.]

[Top 12: Gu Cang, Honorary Dean of the War Department, the Federation's premier academy.]
