Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

Demon-Suppressing Fortress, VIP Viewing Room.

On the large screen, the data of 300,000 candidates is updated in real time.

Xiao Tiannan held a glass of amber-colored liquor, his gaze sweeping over the top of the list, which was filled with scions of well-known families from Tianhai Province.

As for Lin Yuan's name, it had long since fallen to outside the top ten thousand.

"General Xiao, it seems that the commoner you bet heavily on isn't very lucky."

Xiao Tiannan did not turn his head; his voice, transmitted through telepathy, carried an undisguised mockery.

"I have to admit, the scale of the troops he just unleashed really startled me."

"To be able to manage a wasteland god realm to this extent, he must have had some good fortune."

but……"

Xiao Tiannan tapped the sofa armrest lightly with his fingertips.

"The area where he landed was hit by an extreme gravity collapse storm, which delayed him for a full hour."

"Most of his cannon fodder, built up by sheer numbers, were also blown away."

"In a crucial test where every second counts, one wrong step leads to a series of setbacks."

"His points are now far behind the top teams, and it will be difficult for him to turn things around."

In Xiao Tiannan's view, ordinary people are ultimately just ordinary people.

Without the blessing of a family's long-standing fortune, even the heavens wouldn't help him at crucial moments.

Xiao Lie sat on the other side, staring at the small red dot on the screen that represented Lin Yuan.

The red dot did not linger on the periphery to rack up points.

Cut into the heart of the Demon God Planet with a straight line.

"Patriarch Xiao, only you people take points seriously, these are just toys for fooling children."

Xiao Lie sneered and responded telepathically, his tone indifferent.

"His goal was never this from the beginning."

"You should worry more about your sheltered children and make sure you don't run into him on the street."

Xiao Tiannan frowned slightly, about to retort.

However, his gaze followed Xiao Lie's line of sight into the depths of the map.

That red dot is about to collide with a high-risk energy reaction zone.

There, nine aristocratic families had already gathered in advance.

……

The Demon God Dimension, the Source Crystal Mine.

This is a rift valley that stretches across the black wasteland.

At the bottom of the rift, high-purity source crystals emitted a ghostly purple light, like the exposed blood vessels of a planet.

In the very center of the mine, a dilapidated altar of a demon god stands.

At this point, the area around the rift valley was completely surrounded.

Nine scions of prominent families and heirs of wealthy clans in Tianhai Province formed a temporary alliance and placed the area under heavy lockdown.

Their combined forces numbered over three million.

And none of them were low-level cannon fodder.

Directly in front are 80,000 Crystal Titans, each ten meters tall.

They are composed entirely of high-density amethyst, making them immune to most physical and magical damage.

The left wing is a torrent of steel.

Thirty thousand [Hovering Heavy Gunships] hovered at low altitudes, below which were three hundred thousand [High-Energy Electromagnetic Mechs].

The right wing has the most elaborate formation.

Half of them are the [Light Unicorn Knights] radiating holy light, while the other half are the [Shadow Nightmare Riders] shrouded in black mist.

The interplay of light and darkness forms a complementary force field of laws, clearly a combination of the symbiotic divine domains of a pair of twin prodigies.

Behind them are several high-level troop formations that are completely different yet work together, such as the [Abyss Shadow Assassin], [Lava Behemoth], and [Deep Sea Naga].

The nine-deity system forms an impregnable defense.

"Brother Zhao, we've hit the jackpot this time. Such a huge source crystal vein, plus a demon god altar."

"As long as we play steadily and cautiously from now on, the nine of us will definitely be able to break into the top fifty in the province!"

A wealthy young master who commands the Deep Sea Naga stands on the shoulder of the Crystal Rock Titan, his face beaming with excitement.

The young man known as Brother Zhao is Zhao Xinghe, a direct descendant of the Zhao family in Tianhai Province.

He wore a magnificent set of enchanted armor and had an arrogant expression.

"According to the agreement, I will take 30% of the mineral resources, and we can discuss the altar later." Zhao Xinghe looked at the defensive line below, his tone full of confidence.

"With the nine of us joining forces, even if Xiao Ting or Murong Bai came, they would have to break a few teeth trying to take this place."

Just as he finished speaking...

The earth suddenly trembled violently.

"What's going on? An earthquake in the Demon God's plane?" The young master of the tycoon almost lost his footing.

Zhao Xinghe's expression changed, and he stared at the black horizon directly in front of him.

"It's not an earthquake...it's a military march!"

Rumble—!

A roar came from the horizon, and even the oppressive dark clouds in the sky were lifted up.

A black torrent appeared.

The first thing that catches the eye is 50,000 of the largest metallic flesh and blood monsters.

Secondly, there was a sea of ​​insects that blotted out the sky.

Seven hundred thousand soldier insects swept across the land.

In the swarm, the golden nine-star insect king stood upright, its compound eyes filled with murderous intent.

In the sky, hundreds of thousands of vultures and bone-blade bats blocked out the remaining light.

Eight thousand calamity fire spirits weaved through the birds, dragging out a sky full of poisonous flames.

Two million troops.

Carrying a murderous aura that seemed to have been forged in a sea of ​​corpses, it stopped ten kilometers away from the Allied forces' defenses, like the passing of death itself.

An aura of killing intent that seemed to solidify into reality.

Even from ten kilometers away, the gleaming horses at the front of the Allied forces still emitted uneasy low neighs.

On the shoulder of the Crystal Titan, the smiles on the faces of the nine scions of noble families gradually froze.

"What... what kind of monster army is this?"

"Insectoids? Elemental lifeforms? And those heavily armored, flesh-and-blood behemoths... so many different high-level races!"

"Look at that person standing on the shoulders of that giant beast!"

The gazes of the crowd pierced through the sandstorm and converged at the forefront of the army.

A heavily armored demon god, standing fifteen meters tall and radiating terrifying platinum-level pressure, stood solemnly here.

Perched on the tyrant's shoulder, Lin Yuan stood with his hands in his pockets, surveying the defensive line before him.

"It's Lin Yuan from Jiangcheng!" Zhao Xinghe quickly pulled up the pre-exam intelligence for comparison, gritting his teeth, "The intelligence network didn't lie, this kid really is a monster!"

"One civilian, and the soldiers he single-handedly mustered, are worth nine of us!"

"Brother Zhao, what should we do? Should we fight or not?" The young master of the tycoon next to him swallowed hard, his confidence clearly lacking.

Zhao Xinghe's eyes flickered with uncertainty.

beat?

With that kind of troop strength, if we really went all out...

They fear they will pay an extremely heavy price, and may even be eliminated prematurely.

Do not hit?

How could I possibly spit out the fat meat that's already in my mouth?

"Don't panic." Zhao Xinghe forced himself to remain calm. "Having more troops doesn't guarantee victory."

"The strength of our nine-family alliance is undeniable. How dare this commoner offend all nine powerful families of Tianhai Province at the same time?"

Zhao Xinghe stepped forward, his voice carrying divine power, echoing across the wasteland: "You must be Lin Yuan from Jiangcheng."

"It's truly remarkable that you, as an ordinary citizen, could raise such a team. I acknowledge that you deserve to stand here."

Lin Yuan stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at him indifferently without responding.

Seeing this, Zhao Xinghe frowned slightly and continued, "This source crystal vein and altar were first discovered and cleared by our alliance."

"If you try to take it by force, these nine families won't be pushovers either."

"If you really fight to the death, and all your main forces are used up, you won't go far in the big tests later on."

"How about this?" Zhao Xinghe offered a bargaining chip. "We can each compromise. You help us guard the outer perimeter, and you can have 20% of the source crystals inside."

"Not only that, but if you just nod your head, you can gain the friendship of all the prominent families and tycoons of Tianhai Province present here."

"When you get to the provincial capital, we'll protect you and ensure your meteoric rise in your career."

Coercion and bribery.

This is a negotiation tactic most familiar to scions of prominent families.

In their view, giving an ordinary citizen 20% of the resources is a mistake.

Adding the vague notion of "family friendship" is already an immense blessing.

The other members of the allied forces also sneered.

An ordinary person in a demon god's plane surrounded by wolves.

What other choice do we have but to compromise?

however.

Ten kilometers away, on the tyrant's shoulder.

Lin Yuan listened to the echoing shouts across the wasteland, but he didn't care at all.

friendship?

What can this ephemeral garbage buy?

Commander Xiao Lie's original words were that he should trample all these so-called geniuses under his feet.

As a "pay-to-do" individual with professional ethics, once you've taken the money, you have to do the job well.

As for the aristocratic families' revenge...

With the Commander-in-Chief of the Starfire Legion protecting him, he can be completely unrestrained in this examination hall!

"Wipe them all out. The mines inside, and their lives, are all mine."

Lin Yuan had no interest in replying; he wasn't even bothered to remember the person's name.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his right hand.

Beneath him, the tyrant roared, and a dark, extreme gravity field began to compress around his body.

Three hundred thousand Titans crouched down, their liquid metal shields slamming into the ground.

Seven hundred thousand Zerg swarms roared in unison.

The gears of war are about to mesh.

"Damn it, this kid's gone mad! He really dares to start a war against the nine families!" Zhao Xinghe's face turned ashen when he saw Lin Yuan not responding at all and preparing to attack.

"All troops, prepare! Since he's courting death, let's grant him his wish! Tech units, main guns, warm up! Give him full coverage bombardment of his front ranks!"

On the left flank.

Ye Ninghan stood inside the command tower, her palms covered in cold sweat.

As a deity on the technology side, she is locking onto the enemy's front-line behemoth.

However, when the crosshairs of the scope are...

When zoomed in and focused on those monsters whose bodies were covered in liquid metal.

She suddenly recalled a less-than-pleasant memory.
