190: Chapter 190: With this kind of perseverance, you can succeed at anything.

Seventh Star Gate, Silent Insect Sea.

This is a forbidden zone that even a True God would not easily step into.

Looking out, billions of kilometers of the Void Realm are filled with dark purple miasma.

Countless broken stars float in the vacuum of the Universe like pebbles on a riverbed.

Right in the center of this sea of stars lies a behemoth comparable in size to a medium-sized star.

Void Mother Insect.

A semi-Main God-rank aberration.

Its abdomen, covered in densely packed compound eyes, emits a scarlet glow, while beneath it lies a Zerg nest spanning tens of thousands of light-years, incubating billions of insects.

At this moment, this arrogant Void Realm hegemon is letting out a scream so miserable it is indescribable.

"Shut up, it's annoying."

An impatient female voice rings out; Instructor Wen Muxue stands on top of the Void Mother Insect's head.

Facing this Void Realm hegemon beneath her feet, which could easily swallow a large galaxy, she simply lifts her right foot and stomps down.

A force impossible to calculate with numbers travels from her heel, directly piercing through the Void Mother Insect's carapace.

Massive amounts of dark purple insect blood spill out, corroding the surrounding barren planets into nothingness.

The Void Mother Insect struggles in pain, and billions of insects swarm toward Instructor Wen Muxue.

Instructor Wen Muxue doesn't even look at the insect swarm, clenching her right hand forcefully.

Crack.

The space within a radius of a million kilometers collapses inward like a crumpled piece of waste paper.

The tens of billions of high-level Zerg rushing at the front are turned to dust in the blink of an eye.

She doesn't use any elemental magic, nor does she borrow any profound Law of space.

She simply has great strength.

Great enough to crush stars with her bare hands and blow up black holes with a single punch.

"Daring to provoke Starry Sky University, this is the consequence." Instructor Wen Muxue says indifferently.

Just as Instructor Wen Muxue prepares to dig out the monster's brain core as a souvenir, her brows twitch slightly.

She flips her wrist.

A palm-sized black Rubiks Cube appears in her palm.

"It's over?"

A flash of surprise streaks through Instructor Wen Muxue's eyes.

How long has it been?

According to her estimates, this group of freshmen in the [infinite simulation cube]...

…would at least need to probe each other and stockpile troops for several days, finally fighting a protracted decisive battle.

As a result, in less than a few days, the Rubiks Cube has already given feedback that the settlement is complete.

What surprises her even more is the state of the Rubiks Cube.

The surface of this Divine Artifact is dim, and its runes are in a half-dead, crashed state.

The energy stored inside the infinite simulation cube is genuine True God-level.

It is enough to support a large-scale deduction war affecting several planes.

Now, the energy inside has actually been exhausted.

"Interesting."

Instructor Wen Muxue gently strokes the surface of the Rubiks Cube, and a thread of her Divine Sense probes inside.

Following the remaining lines of Karma, she quickly locks onto the source of the energy depletion.

Lin Yuan.

That young man sitting in the back row with the highest academic credits.

Lin Yuan's calm Face appears in Instructor Wen Muxue's mind.

"Touching a taboo in the Rubiks Cube World and using the Rubiks Cube's underlying computing power to deduce a Divine Technique?"

Instructor Wen Muxue raises her eyebrows.

This kind of operation is basically wool-gathering from Starry Sky University, and specifically picking on one sheep until it's bald.

If it were any other instructor, they would probably be up in arms, wanting to investigate Lin Yuan's background.

But Instructor Wen Muxue just curls her lip.

"Let him gather it; anyway, the money to repair the Rubiks Cube comes from those old guys in the Logistics Department."

She has zero interest in exploring students' secrets.

As long as these little brats don't cause trouble in her class and don't delay her getting off work.

Even if Lin Yuan poked a hole in the sky, she wouldn't care.

"Calculating the time, it's time to go back and go through the motions."

Instructor Wen Muxue puts away the Rubiks Cube and looks up at the insect sea still surging all around.

These alien races, having lost their mother insect, have fallen into madness and are launching suicide charges at her regardless of the cost.

"So annoying."

Instructor Wen Muxue sighs and slowly raises her right fist.

She throws a punch toward the Void Realm in front of her.

...

Starry Sky University, High-Risk Class 3 classroom.

Lin Yuan sits in the back row, his eyes unfocused, his entire being in a state of wandering outside of his body.

His body trembles slightly.

A chill from the depths of his Soul rushes straight to the back of his head.

"This damn Rubiks Cube is really not something for humans to use."

Lin Yuan curses inwardly, a fine layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

Just in that period of time earlier.

He finally understood what the "Law stabilization and Divine Technique deduction" process given by the Rubiks Cube during settlement really was.

It was definitely not some gentle enlightenment.

The Rubiks Cube directly pulled his consciousness into an independent timeline.

Here, the Rubiks Cube used its computing power to forcibly simulate the entire process of his Physical Body being destroyed in the explosion and being recast by the Law.

Once, twice, ten times, a hundred times...

A full ten thousand simulations.

Every single time, Lin Yuan had to personally experience the extreme pain of his flesh and blood being vaporized by high temperatures and his bones shattering inch by inch.

His Soul was pulled back and forth on the edge of life and death.

The Rubiks Cube used this simplest and most brutal method to force him to familiarize himself with that state.

To memorize the arrangement of every thread of Law, to master the flow of every wisp of Death Qi.

This is only possible because it's Lin Yuan.

Having seen the scenes of his kin devouring each other and evolving between life and death in the Wasteland Divine Domain.

His mental will had long since reached a perverted level.

If it were anyone else in the class, experiencing such ten thousand instances of slicing and reshaping.

Their Sea of Consciousness would have long since collapsed, and they would only know how to drool.

However, the reward for the pain was also generous.

Lin Yuan takes a deep breath, calming his bewildered mind.

His intent shifts slightly.

[Exclusive Divine Technique deduction complete]

[Divine Technique Name: Wither and Bloom · Life and Death Reversal]

[Rank: Unknown (Increases with the user's depth of Law comprehension)]

[Effect: After death, reshape the Divine Body with pure power of Law and Divine Fire.

After entering this state, immune to 99% of physical attacks and conventional energy attacks.

Self Law affinity increased by 1000%, Divine Power recovery speed increased by 500%.]

Lin Yuan looks at the introduction on the panel, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Immune to most attacks, Law affinity skyrocketing tenfold.

This means that once he activates this state, he can bridge the gap between ranks in a short time.

But there is no perfect Divine Technique in the world, especially this kind of power that touches high-dimensional rules.

His gaze moves down, landing on the warning text in the last line.

[Weakness Hint: In this state, the user's sanity will be continuously eroded by the Law of Death.

Must re-condense the flesh and blood body within a very short time (current limit: half an hour).

Otherwise, the Soul will be assimilated by death, becoming a mindless Void spirit, forever lost in the crack between life and death.]

Lin Yuan's brows furrow slightly.

Half an hour.

It sounds very short, but in a battle at the demigod level, half an hour is enough to decide life and death thousands of times.

This weakness is lethal, but Lin Yuan doesn't care.

He knows very well that this kind of Divine Technique involving the cycle of life and death cannot be achieved overnight.

The Rubiks Cube only helped him build a framework, allowing him to actively enter that state.

As for how to extend the duration, how to completely control the erosion of sanity by death.

That requires him to explore and perfect it bit by bit in the long years to come.

"Half an hour is enough to kill a lot of people."

Lin Yuan's eyes return to their usual calm.

He turns to look around.

The large circular lecture hall is empty, quiet to the point of being eerie.

The Prodigies sitting in the front row, Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao, Cheng E, Shen Yubai, and others, are all nowhere to be found.

Although death in the Rubiks Cube World does not harm the Origin life in reality.

But the trauma of the Soul being torn apart and the Divine Fire being forcibly extinguished is real.

These proud Prodigies were killed by Lin Yuan in the Rubiks Cube like harvesting leeks, their Divine Fires shaken, their spirits listless.

As soon as they exited the simulation, they didn't even say hello, rushing directly to the school infirmary and their respective dormitories to retreat and heal.

Who would have the Face to stay here and watch Lin Yuan show off?

Now in the classroom, only three people remain.

Lin Yuan himself.

Bai Ye, sitting next to him, his Face pale, with a phantom bloodline still on his neck.

And...

Yan Lie, standing below the podium, covered in bandages like a mummy.

"Lin Yuan!"

Seeing Lin Yuan's eyes clear up, the only remaining eye of Yan Lie lights up with a shocking gleam.

He roars, strides with his two legs braced by high-polymer energy splints, and rushes over, limping but aggressively.

Bang!

Yan Lie rushes to Lin Yuan's desk, both hands slapping heavily on the desktop.

The huge force makes the table buzz, and also causes the bandages on his body to burst open in several places, blood seeping out again.

Lin Yuan leans on the back of his chair, watching him quietly.

Bai Ye shrinks to the side, afraid that this madman's blood will splash on him.

"I heard!"

Yan Lie pants heavily, his voice loud enough to cause an echo in the classroom.

"Not long after I went in, because my injuries were too heavy, I was eliminated by a few reckless bandits!"

Yan Lie speaks of his defeat without any shame, his tone still carrying a straightforward boldness.

"But! I just heard from Bai Ye about your feat inside!"

Yan Lie points to Bai Ye beside him, his eyes staring fanatically at Lin Yuan.

"You alone! Took on Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao's mechanical legion! Smashed Cheng E."

"In the end, you even transformed into the God of Death, dragged that cowardly turtle Tuoba Lie out, and stomped him to death!"

"Too strong! Simply too strong!"

Yan Lie is trembling with excitement, pulling on his broken ribs, which makes him grimace in pain, but that still cannot stop him from outputting.

"I was arrogant before, saying I would take my lava army to defeat you fair and square!"

"Now I understand!"

"How can a swallow know the ambition of a swan! A monster like you is not meant to be chased; you are meant to be looked up to!"

Yan Lie puffs out his chest, fire burning in his only remaining eye.

"From today on, you, Lin Yuan, are the lighthouse on my journey in the sea of stars!"

"Monitor! From now on, wherever you point, my lava giants will attack! Whoever dares to disobey, I, Yan Lie, will be the first to rush up and tear them apart!"

These words are spoken with force, making one's blood boil.

Coupled with his blood-soaked bandages, he looks exactly like a tragic death soldier swearing allegiance to the death.

The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth twitches slightly.

He turns to look at Bai Ye, his eyes filled with inquiry: What did you tell this moron?

Bai Ye looks away guiltily, pretending to admire the patterns on the ceiling.

What could he say?

He couldn't say that he felt he had already won by lying down, and then slit his own throat in front of Lin Yuan.

That would be so embarrassing.

So after he came out, facing Yan Lie's questioning, he used a little bit of historical modification.

Who knew that Yan Lie, this guy with a strange train of thought, not only didn't feel fear after hearing it.

He directly turned into Lin Yuan's number one fanatical fan.

"Alright, I get it."

Lin Yuan raises his hand, rubs his brow, and interrupts the oath of allegiance that Yan Lie wants to continue to express.

"Go stop the bleeding first, it's dripping on my table."

Yan Lie looks down and finally realizes that the bandages on his chest have been completely stained red with blood.

"Minor wound! A man's medal..."

Yan Lie still wants to be tough.

Before he finishes speaking, his body sways.

Excessive blood loss combined with excessive emotional excitement finally breaks the limits of his body.

Yan Lie rolls his eyes.

With a thud, he faints.

Almost at the same second he falls to the ground.

The back door of the classroom is kicked open.

Four school doctors in white coats, fully armed, push a floating emergency pod and rush in.

These four school doctors move with a proficiency that makes people's hearts ache.

Two lift the hands, two lift the feet.

"One, two, three, go!"

Whoosh.

Yan Lie's one hundred and eighty-plus pound body is thrown into the emergency pod.

The pod lid closes, and the life support System starts.

"Fast, fast, fast! Send him to the rescue room! If this kid is five minutes late, he'll really have to report to the Netherworld!"

The lead school doctor wipes his sweat, pushing the emergency pod and running out in a flurry.

From entering the door to taking the person away, the whole process takes less than ten seconds.

Obviously, these school doctors have been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Yan Lie was so badly injured that he should have gone to rescue as soon as he exited the Rubiks Cube.

But this guy refused to leave, insisting on holding on to wait for Lin Yuan to come out and show his loyalty.

The school doctors couldn't stop this madman whose brain was full of muscles, so they could only squat outside the door in fear.

Now that the person has finally fainted, they can finally start working.

Lin Yuan looks at the empty back door of the classroom, and then at the pool of blood on the ground that hasn't dried yet.

He is speechless for a long while.

"I have to say." Lin Yuan leans on the chair, giving a fair evaluation.

"With that kind of perseverance, he will succeed in anything he does."

Bai Ye nods in deep agreement.

"Indeed, that kind of beauty of brainstem deficiency is something ordinary people can't learn."
