62: Chapter 62: A Frenzy of Resource Investing, Preparing to Shock the Midterm Streaming Exam

Lin Yuan looked at the mountains of sealed cargo containers in his yard, as well as the large batch of resource cards he had just swept up from the internal military trading network, and casually closed the gate.

He walked to the bedside, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

The moment he descended into the Wasteland Divine Domain, Lin Yuan noticed something different.

The pungent smell of gunpowder and sulfur in the air had weakened.

His gaze pierced through the red and green intertwined radiation storm.

In the sky, the dark red blood rain was still falling, but the rain curtain was mixed with dark purple pollen flying all over the sky.

This eerie pollen drifted and covered the entire carbonized crystalline land.

Lin Yuan locked his gaze on the center of the basin.

The Liquid Metal Blood-Devouring Demon Tree had broken free from the shackles of the metal meat cocoon.

On the surface of its liquid metal bark, dense twisted patterns were distributed.

The tree crown of the Demon Tree tightened slightly, like a heart ready to burst at any moment.

Every leaf, shaped like a metal blade, had dark purple flower buds the size of a baby's fist hanging from its edge.

The buds opened and closed, and the eerie pollen filling the sky was being spewed out from here.

Lin Yuan pulled up the Divine Domain panel and took a look.

The Demon Tree's rank was clearly displayed as: [Half-Step Transcendent (99%)].

It was only that last insignificant bit of foundation away from becoming a true Transcendent-level building.

Lin Yuan knew very well that this final step of crossing over would inevitably happen during the hundred-year time simulation.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Yuan looked down at the Tyrant Demon pack below.

The medicinal effect of the Rain of the Prophet had dissipated.

The golden downpour had eliminated over sixty thousand mediocre ones with low intelligence.

The remaining forty thousand elites had a state that was jaw-droppingly exaggerated.

Not a single one of them was resting.

In the Killing Gladiator Cage on the left side of the basin, tens of thousands of Tyrant Demons were engaged in a brutal slaughter.

They had completely abandoned their former mindless brawling and began to consciously use the power of their gene maps.

The Titan Violent Demons stood in the front, letting their claws tear at the liquid metal armor.

The Shadow Abyssal Demons turned into black shadows, shuttling through the void, with every move being fatal.

Severed limbs flew, and blood spurted wildly.

They were desperately solidifying the foundation of their sequence prototypes on the edge of life and death.

Another group of Tyrant Demons lay prone under the star spirit gene monolith.

With red eyes, they stared at the ancient array patterns on the stone tablet, attempting to comprehend deeper laws.

These guys were all villains, crazily engaging in internal competition.

The Tyrant stood among them.

The half-body Titan heavy armor and half-body pitch-black Shadow Lurker merged perfectly, and its aura became increasingly terrifying and profound.

Lin Yuan did not disturb their "advanced studies."

With a thought, his figure crossed space.

He arrived above the living casting mother nest in the Far North Volcanic Belt.

The hundreds of tons of iron ore and dilapidated wreckage invested last time had long since been digested cleanly by the Mother Nest's stomach.

The top of the blast furnace spat out dark red sparks as if still unsatisfied, and the alienated mechanical arms hung in mid-air, looking famished.

"Dinner time." Lin Yuan waved his hand.

The space array patterns in the reality world's receiving cabin lit up.

A crack opened in the sky of the Divine Domain.

Millions of tons of scrapped starship hulls, abandoned mecha armor, and heavy weapon fragments were packed into a dozen huge metal boxes.

Following Lin Yuan's command, the metal boxes disintegrated in mid-air.

Rumble!

A steel waterfall poured down.

Amidst the deafening roar, the volcano within a ten-mile radius was piled into towering metal mountains.

The Mother Nest let out a sharp sound of metal friction in excitement.

Dozens of mechanical arms straightened instantly, and the alloy sharp teeth at their tips opened.

It could not wait to probe into the mountain of trash and devour these high-level metal remains cleanly.

"Stand down." Lin Yuan scolded coldly.

The mental command was like a solid hammer, smashing into the Mother Nest's core consciousness.

All mechanical arms froze in mid-air instantly, then shrank back aggrievedly.

These remains dragged back from the abyss front contained abyssal corrosion, demon god curses, and lethal radiation.

Although the Mother Nest possessed purification functions, facing such a large base of abyssal pollution, forced consumption would only have one outcome.

The blast furnace would explode, and the Mother Nest would be completely scrapped.

High-end ingredients must be processed with the most violent methods.

Lin Yuan hovered above the steel trash mountain, his eyes filled with dazzling dark gold divine fire.

SSS-level talent [Creation Extraction], full power burst!

This time, he was not facing a single creature, but millions of tons of dead matter piled like a mountain.

The majestic mental power, far exceeding that of a First-Turn Demigod, surged out of his body, condensing into tens of thousands of dark golden law chains in the void.

Hiss—

The harsh sound of law friction resounded across the sky.

Lin Yuan's divine soul phantom trembled violently, illusory ripples appeared on the edges, and even fine cracks appeared.

The base was too huge.

Forcibly stripping the negative keywords of ten thousand tons of remains simultaneously brought an extremely terrifying burden to his divine soul.

Lin Yuan felt as if his brain had been stuffed with tens of thousands of red-hot steel needles.

But he did not stop.

The madness and coldness in his eyes became even more intense.

"Get out for me!" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and lifted his hands violently.

Clatter!

Countless dark golden chains tightened to the limit.

Clusters of pure black halos were forcibly dragged out from the interior of the metal.

[Abyssal Deep Corrosion], [Nether Death Qi Residue], [High-Concentration Lethal Radiation], [Whispers of Demon God's Remnant Soul]...

Tens of thousands of negative, incomplete keywords gathered in mid-air, forming a black storm with a diameter of over a kilometer.

A heart-wrenching wail and aura of destruction emanated from the storm.

Stripping complete.

The metal remains below lost their pollution source and completely turned into high-strength, high-level alloy waste.

The Mother Nest's mechanical arms reached out again, starting to gorge itself, and the sound of teeth-aching chewing came from within the blast furnace.

Lin Yuan looked at the negative keyword storm in mid-air and did not destroy it.

In the Wasteland Divine Domain, pollution was fertilizer.

He pressed down with one hand, sending this huge black storm directly into the continuous volcanic magma pools below.

Boom!

The magma pools of the entire volcanic group boiled instantly.

The originally dark red magma, after devouring the massive amount of negative keywords, transformed into an eerie black-green.

The hundreds of volcanic craters erupted not with ordinary volcanic ash, but with poisonous fire meteors possessing strong corrosiveness and death qi.

The harshness of the environment climbed up another level.

A feeling of weakness in his divine soul came over him, and Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

Forcing down the discomfort, he cast his gaze toward the edge of the basin.

3 million tons of [Abyssal Tai Sui Meat] were poured out from the space rift by him.

As soon as the mountain of Tai Sui meat landed, countless foul-smelling mouthparts began to crack open on its surface, attempting to expand its pollution territory outward.

Lin Yuan did not need to give an order.

The [Liquid Metal Blood-Devouring Demon Tree] in the center of the basin sensed this familiar life energy immediately.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The hard carbonized crust shattered inch by inch.

Tens of thousands of black liquid metal roots broke through the soil, dancing like a group of demons, and plunged deep into the Tai Sui meat mountain.

The meat mountain shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, unable to make a splash.

Having devoured the Tai Sui meat, the flower buds on the Demon Tree's crown spewed out even thicker purple pollen.

Next, expand the water area.

Lin Yuan flashed and arrived above the Styx River at the edge of the Divine Domain.

1 million tons of [Deeply Polluted Nether Death Water] poured down.

The originally dark red Styx River, which was only a dozen meters wide, surged violently under the infusion of the death water.

The riverbed expanded wildly to both sides, and the water level rose.

In a short moment.

A giant river, a hundred meters wide with surging black-red death water waves, circled nearly half of the Divine Domain.

The Nether Death Water contained corrosion and death qi, and ordinary creatures would die upon contact.

The bottom of the water exploded into chaos.

Those Oscillating Liquid Metal Crabs and Scarlet Flying Blade Bone Fish that had survived the baptism of the Rain of the Prophet.

Their single-cell brain capacity had been forcibly broadened, and their intelligence had risen by a level.

They felt the threat brought by the death water.

In the past, they would only collide blindly based on instinct.

But now, these underwater monsters reacted completely differently.

Splash!

A large number of Bone Fish and Liquid Metal Crabs actively surfaced, gulped the air mixed with the radiation storm, and then quickly dived to the bottom of the river.

They controlled the liquid metal carapace and bone blades on their body surfaces to form a thin layer of high-frequency oscillation.

This oscillation shield kept the deadly corrosion in the death water at bay.

At the same time, they began to consciously absorb the death qi in the death water to temper their bones and blades.

The eyes of the Bone Fish became extremely cold.

They swam in groups in the depths of the death water like ghost assassins.

The giant pincers of the Liquid Metal Crabs were covered with a layer of ghostly white death qi halo.

The sky ecosystem also needed resources.

One hundred thousand [Heavy Metal Poison Fog Compression Canisters] were crushed by Lin Yuan.

Thick lead-gray poisonous fog soared into the sky, merging with the red and green intertwined radiation storm.

A heavy metal poison cloud that never dissipated formed on the dome of the Divine Domain.

The [Black Gold Blade-Feather Demon Vulture] flock hovering at low altitude let out shrill cries.

They soared into the sky and plunged into the poison cloud.

High-concentration heavy metal particles constantly polished their sharp wings, making the black metal feathers emit a layer of deadly dark blue poisonous light.

The [Infrasonic Bone-Blade Bat] hung upside down on the cliff under the poison cloud.

With the cover of the poisonous fog, the penetrability and concealment of the infrasonic waves became even more terrifying.

As for that group of [Dark Gold Poisonous Miasma Insect Race] staying on the outermost periphery.

Lin Yuan directly smashed 10 million tons of [Insect Corpse Landfill Soil] on their heads.

Hundreds of thousands of metal cockroaches fell into a carnival.

They plunged into the landfill soil, crazily gnawing on the insect gene fragments and rotten flesh contained within.

Next was the edge of the Divine Domain.

Lin Yuan placed 100,000 tons of [High-Concentration Nether Uranium Tailings] around the radiation tower.

The extreme radioactive pollution instantly ignited the tower body, causing the radiation storm sweeping across the Wasteland to undergo another astonishingly lethal mutation.

Resource cards were shattered one after another.

[Extreme Cold Bone-Scraping Wind Eye] was embedded in the cliff, with cold winds howling.

[Void Poison Swamp Acid] flowed into the mud, corroding all things.

[Wraith Crystal Scraps] were scattered all over the field, with resentment soaring to the sky...

Various resources were filled into every corner of the Wasteland by Lin Yuan without sparing any effort.

Finally, 5 million tons of [Rotten Flesh Swamp Mud] were laid by Lin Yuan in the cracks of the earth's veins.

At this point, the deployment of all resources was completed.

Lin Yuan's figure rose, hovering under the highest dome of the Divine Domain.

He lowered his head, overlooking this world that belonged to him.

Magma erupted, poisonous gas raged, radiation gales howled, and seas of blood rolled.

Here, life perished every second, and blood and death were the only main theme of this land.

However, in this extremely harsh and extremely twisted scroll of death.

Lin Yuan felt a vitality that was heart-wrenchingly exuberant.

Every wound healing of the Tyrant Demons, every flap of the Demon Vulture's wings, every molt of the poisonous insects.

Even the cold gaze of the Bone Fish at the bottom of the water contained a wild resilience that could not be burned away by wildfires.

They fed in destruction and evolved in death.

They carved the cruel laws of the Wasteland into every drop of blood and every segment of gene.

This was a life posture that was extremely eerie, yet powerful enough to ignore everything.

"What a beautiful picture."

Lin Yuan looked at this scene, a smile he couldn't suppress curling up at the corners of his mouth.

Troops were elite and provisions were sufficient, and the venue was ready.

All resources were in place; it was time to let time give the final answer.

He slowly raised both hands.

In his left hand, he held the [Gold-Grade Reproduction Card] flowing with rich life green light.

In his right hand, he pinched the [High-Tier Time Acceleration Card] emitting silver time ripples.

Lin Yuan exerted force with both hands simultaneously.

Crack.

A crisp shattering sound echoed in the void.

Two high-tier cards shattered at the same time.

Boom—!!!

In an instant, the vast and boundless power of laws descended upon the Divine Domain.

The green radiance of reproduction turned into light rain all over the sky.

It merged into the body of every creature in the Wasteland, igniting the reproduction frenzy in the deepest part of their genes.

Silver time turbulence surged out from the void.

Like a tsunami sweeping across the world, it submerged the entire Wasteland Divine Domain.

Space was distorted, and time was infinitely stretched.

Everything in his line of sight.

The movement of the Tyrant Demons waving their giant fists, the drifting eerie pollen, the surging Nether Death Water—

All became extremely blurred at this moment, turning into countless rapidly flowing rays of light.

[Warning! Time acceleration has been activated!]

[The Divine Domain will enter a closed evolutionary state for a hundred years, and divine power interference has been cut off!]

Lin Yuan did not resist and voluntarily withdrew his consciousness following the repulsive force.

One second before his vision completely fell into darkness.

He looked at the Wasteland world that was wrapped in layers of time turbulence and undergoing earth-shattering changes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became even more intense.

"A hundred years of complete hands-off management."

"Are the geniuses of the Streaming Exam ready to welcome a little Wasteland shock?"
