Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

The Supreme Command of the Starfire Legion.

The atmosphere inside the circular conference room plummeted to freezing point.

Twelve high-ranking deities dressed in military officer uniforms sat in front of the holographic projection table.

This was a closed-door meeting regarding the allocation of resources to the "Dark Night Sequence".

"Bang!"

Zhao Donghai, the military chief of staff representing the interests of the powerful families in the provincial capital, slammed his hand on the alloy tabletop.

"Commander Xiao, I won't stop you from granting that commoner high school student named Lin Yuan an S-level special approval."

"But he's a student who hasn't even graduated yet, and you're actually going to forcibly allocate another 300 million faith points from the frontline military budget to him?"

Zhao Donghai's face was ashen as he stared at Xiao Lie in the main seat. "He only managed to crush a few newbies in the strategy game; he doesn't deserve this kind of strategic investment!"

"Not good enough?"

Xiao Lie sat at the head of the table, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

He wasn't angry; he just sneered and casually flicked a piece of data towards the central holographic screen.

See for yourself.

The screen lights up.

The recording being played was of Lin Yuan's last game in Starry Sky Chess.

Under a sky full of stars, ten Platinum-level warriors formed a battle formation.

The extraordinary lightsaber swept across the starry sky, and two thousand monstrous demons were instantly reduced to ashes.

Seeing this, Zhao Donghai snorted coldly: "Completely powerless to fight back, is this what you call strategic-level..."

Before he could finish speaking, his voice caught in his throat.

In the scene, the tyrant, whose body was engulfed in dark golden divine fire, defied the extraordinary sword energy and soared into the sky.

He slipped into the shadows, forced his way to the face, and smashed back the fully armed Platinum Peak God with a single punch.

Inside the meeting room, several high-ranking deities who had been resting with their eyes closed simultaneously opened them.

"Such defensive capabilities, regenerative abilities... and that ability to move stealthily, ignoring light and shadow."

An elderly man with the rank of lieutenant general leaned forward slightly, his gaze sharpening. "This is definitely not some kind of goblin mutant."

The old man looked at Xiao Lie: "Xiao the Madman, did you give him those two blueprints?"

"That's right." Xiao Lie nodded frankly, his eyes sweeping across the entire room. "The genetic blueprints of the [Titan Beast] and the [Void Shadow Beast]."

The entire audience gasped.

"How could someone from an F-rank wasteland god realm be able to bear dual gene chains without being assimilated and collapsing?" Zhao Donghai stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief.

"The facts are undeniable. He not only embodied, but also perfectly integrated, a monstrous unit that evolved along two lines."

Xiao Lie stood up, placed his hands on the table, and his imposing aura pressed down on Zhao Donghai.

"Look closely. These monsters don't want good equipment or high-level potions."

"They eat metal debris and drink highly acidic water! As long as there are corpses on the battlefield, they can continue operating indefinitely."

"Which of your pampered scions of noble families, fed with high-level resources every day, can achieve this kind of war potential—maximum troop production and low-cost, high-yield?

Xiao Lie raised his voice, which resonated like a great bell in the conference room.

"When the Abyss truly invades in full force, do you expect those young masters in their gleaming armor to sacrifice their lives?"

"No! The ones that can stand at the forefront are these mad dogs that will bite the enemy to death as long as they get a mouthful of shit!"

The meeting room was completely silent.

The words may be crude, but the principle is sound: the military always values ​​efficiency.

"So I'm not only going to approve that 300 million for him," Xiao Lie waved his hand, "but I'm also going to approve that piece of equipment we seized on the front lines of the Sixth District!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

"No!" Zhao Donghai exclaimed in shock. "That section of the Mother Tree's root is an extremely dangerous source of pollution! You're giving it to a high school student? Are you trying to destroy his divine realm?"

"His divine realm is already rotten to the core, what's there to fear about pollution?" Xiao Lie scoffed. "I've made the decision. Who agrees, who disagrees?"

The twelve officers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Faced with the powerful Xiao Lie and Lin Yuan's impeccable combat data.

In the end, no one raised their hand.

The proposal to allocate resources was passed unanimously.

……

On the other side, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the sofa, a virtual screen floating in front of him.

He was arguing with a buyer in the anonymous trading area of ​​StarNet.

[Tianhai's Deepest Affection]: Brother, isn't it a rip-off to list your [Gold-level Environment Card: Abundant Grassland] for 20 million?

The market is bad right now, so I'll make friends with ten million.

Putting aside the facts, this card only sounds good; its actual performance bonus is mediocre.

[Yuan]: What are we talking about if not the facts? Your mother's love life? Twenty million, not a penny less and you're out.

I could hear your scheme all over Jiangcheng.

[Tianhai's Deepest Affection]: ...Don't curse! I really want it.

But you need to exchange for Abyss Ore and High-Level Mechanical Remains in your notes, and these things are very unpopular.

In that case, I'll trade you an equivalent premium water environment card.

[Yuan]: What would I need a water-type card for? To give me a bath? Nineteen million equivalent metals, that's my bottom line. If you don't want it, I'll put it on the auction house.

The other side remained silent for a full five minutes.

[Tianhai's Deepest Affection]: Deal! You win. I'll send the items to you via military-grade encrypted logistics.

"bite."

A system notification sounded, indicating the transaction was complete.

Lin Yuan looked at the newly appeared [Silver-grade Abyss Black Tungsten Ore] that resembled a small mountain in his personal inventory.

The wreckage of several thousand decommissioned heavy self-propelled artillery pieces severed communications.

Now, the food supply for the living nest-building mother is secured.

Just as he was preparing to sink his consciousness and transport the supplies into the divine realm.

"Beep—Spark Legion highest-level access."

The terminal emitted a notification sound, and a large sum of money was deposited into the account.

[System notification: The military's special support fund of 300 million Faith Points has arrived in your account.]

[System notification: Spark Logistics (SSS-level encryption) has delivered a specially packaged card to your villa's receiving bay.]

Lin Yuan paused.

Five hundred million?

As he was wondering, light and shadow intertwined above the terminal, and Xiao Lie's virtual image was projected.

The iron-blooded general looked at Lin Yuan and smiled with satisfaction.

"Well done, kid." Xiao Lie got straight to the point. "I watched your replay in the game. That gold-tier tyrant had a bit of my style back in the day."

"This performance shut up those old fogies in the command post."

"Three hundred million?" Lin Yuan went straight to the point.

"This is your sprint fund for the big exam."

"No matter how well you play StarCraft, it's still virtual data."

"The real test of the diversion process in two weeks will be a live, real-life test across the entire province."

"This money is enough for you to double the number of monsters under your command." Xiao Lie paused, "However, this money is just a bonus."

An extra item?

Is 300 million faith points just an extra bonus?

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and walked to the metal receiving compartment of the villa.

The hatch opened.

Inside lay a lead box covered with golden sealing runes.

Even through the seal, Lin Yuan could still feel a chilling, mad aura surging inside the lead box.

"This is the true ecological core that the military has given you." Xiao Lie's expression turned serious.
