World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 510: New Alien Star Battlefield

"What nonsense are you talking about? To be precise, he's surpassed Hua Guyun," Yin Erchuan said. "Hua Guyun never took first place in four consecutive battles, and that was over the span of a year."

"Exactly, Du Ge's achievements far exceed Hua Guyun's. In just one year, he secured so many resources that even if Qi Yuan Star loses for ten consecutive years, the people's lives won't be affected," Dai Sheng added. "When Hua Guyun stepped down from the Alien Star Battlefield, he served as president for many years. With Du Ge's current credentials, he could easily succeed as president."

"Du Ge, will you return to the battlefield?"

Yin Erchuan asked with a hint of hope.

The Rotational Examination System requires selected Alien Star warriors to be on the battlefield for four consecutive years. Now, with Pan-Universal Entertainment constantly changing the rules, there have been four Alien Star Battlefields in just over a year. Du Ge has essentially completed the system ahead of schedule and can enjoy the benefits in peace.

Continuing to fight could mean losing all the merits he has accumulated if something goes wrong.

Others also turned their gaze to Du Ge. They were all his comrades, and if he stepped down, they would become his team, rising with him.

"I will," Du Ge replied, looking around at everyone, giving an unexpected answer.

"Why?" Yin Erchuan asked, surprised.

"Because my goal is to escape the control of Pan-Universal Entertainment!" Du Ge smiled, glancing back at the base behind him and murmured, "If I step down from the Alien Star Battlefield, I'll never have another chance."

With that, everyone fell silent.

Once, they too had the ambition to resist Pan-Universal Entertainment.

But after experiencing the brutality of the Alien Star Battlefield and the decadence of Qi Yuan Star's upper echelons, that ambition had long been worn away.

They fought life and death on the Alien Star Battlefield, finally earning the right to enjoy everything. Even if Qi Yuan Star remained as it was, they could live out their lives comfortably.

So why fight for an elusive goal?

Is it worth it for freedom?

"Du Ge, won't you reconsider? If something goes wrong on the Alien Star Battlefield, you'll lose everything," Dai Sheng said hesitantly.

"I won't trap myself in this cage," Du Ge replied with a smile. "But you can stay and go into politics. With my current credentials, I should be able to place you in some important departments.

When I step down from the Alien Star Battlefield, if I face unfair treatment, you can lend me a hand."

At these words, everyone became excited.

Dai Sheng said, "Du Ge, rest assured, whether you return to the battlefield or not, you are our god, and we are your strongest support. Besides, who would dare treat you unfairly!"

Du Ge smiled and said no more.

In that moment, his perception rapidly expanded, now almost covering the entire Qi Yuan Star.

Calculating it, his mental power had increased by about a third.

There was only one reason for this phenomenon: the resources of Qi Yuan Star had been distributed.

Four consecutive victories.

Even if the last battle had just ended and resources hadn't been distributed, the resources accumulated from three victories were enough to resolve the current crisis on Qi Yuan Star and allow all its people to enjoy a few prosperous years.

Millions of mental power on the Alien Star Battlefield weren't enough for Du Ge's perception to cover the entire planet.

But on Qi Yuan Star, he had the skill Power of Faith.

The resource distribution was enough for his reputation to influence the entire world, allowing Du Ge's perception to cover the entire Qi Yuan Star.

Covering Qi Yuan Star with his perception meant Du Ge could mobilize all the water resources within his perception range.

Theoretically, he had become the god of Qi Yuan Star.

Moreover, Benevolent Healer would make everyone he helped hold goodwill towards him.

Whether or not he arranged for Dai Sheng and others to help him govern Qi Yuan Star didn't matter much.

But with Bai Long constantly watching Qi Yuan Star, he still needed to put on a show for Bai Long without exposing himself.

However, with this wave of resource distribution, the harvest of faith on Qi Yuan Star had reached its peak. Relying on this skill to significantly increase mental power was unlikely.

To continue enhancing mental power, he still needed to find methods on the Alien Star Battlefield.

He just didn't know if the effects of Benevolent Healer could influence the Alien Star Battlefield after the resources of other planets were distributed.

If it could, he would truly be invincible on the Alien Star Battlefield.

But entering the Alien Star Battlefield required body possession, sealing real-world skills, and the possibility of Benevolent Healer taking effect was probably low.

Du Ge was contemplating the effects of his skills.

Gao Ming suddenly said, "Old Du, if you return to the Alien Star Battlefield, I'll go with you. Compared to the Alien Star Battlefield, being an official on Qi Yuan Star is meaningless."

Yin Erchuan chuckled, "I'll go too. If we're escaping, let's escape together. If we can really break free from Pan-Universal Entertainment's control, that would be truly satisfying."

"Me too," Yu Xia stepped forward. After several trials on the Alien Star Battlefield, she was no longer the timid student from the civilian academy.

Looking at the three of them, Du Ge felt a sudden touch in his heart.

Whether it was due to Benevolent Healer or not, the fact that they were willing to stand up and choose to venture with him to the Alien Star Battlefield transcended mere friendship.

After all.

Gao Ming and the others didn't have his level of mental power, nor a second keyword.

Entering the Alien Star Battlefield, if they randomly got a bad keyword, they could really die.

But after the last Alien Star Battlefield, Du Ge knew that winning alone was too difficult. Having a few comrades who were in sync and could be trusted with his back was crucial for victory.

Looking at the three, Du Ge ultimately didn't refuse their goodwill. He nodded and extended his hand towards them, "Alright. Good brothers, since you trust me, I will ensure your safety on the Alien Star Battlefield."

Dai Sheng and the others looked at Gao Ming and the others with envy, hesitating for a long time but ultimately lacking the courage to make the same decision to continue accompanying Du Ge on the Alien Star Battlefield.

An hour later.

Nan Youlong arrived, taking Du Ge and the others on a plane back to the capital, inquiring about their experiences on the Alien Star Battlefield and probing Du Ge's next plans.

After the resource distribution, Du Ge's reputation on Qi Yuan Star was at its peak, far beyond their control.

With Du Ge's current reputation, stepping into politics could stir up a new wave of turmoil on Qi Yuan Star.

It wasn't until confirming that Du Ge would continue on the Alien Star Battlefield that Nan Youlong truly breathed a sigh of relief, shifting the conversation towards improving Du Ge's treatment.

...

Meanwhile.

At the headquarters of Pan-Universal Entertainment.

Ross and others were discussing the newly discovered Alien Star Battlefield when they suddenly received a report from Bai Long.

After hearing Du Ge's request, the meeting room fell silent for a moment.

"Ross, we must find someone to replace Du Ge quickly. The little guy dares to threaten the company, it's absurd," said Gao Qiao, the head of the Technical Department, indignantly.

No one responded to him.

After all, everyone present knew that in the upcoming plans, Du Ge was irreplaceable.

At least for the next two Alien Star Battlefields, Du Ge had to be the protagonist.

If no one could replace Du Ge as the new protagonist of Resource Game in the upcoming Alien Star Battlefields, Du Ge would continue to attract traffic as the big villain, and the company couldn't give up this cash cow.

"Ross, the plan to assign keywords to Du Ge must be shelved," Adan, the head of the Marketing Department, said, looking at the top three keywords: Silence, Waste, and Loneliness, shaking his head. "Continuing to assign such keywords to him, if he really uses the Power of Poseidon and Sun God power, the show will be completely ruined."

"Du Ge must be hiding a secret we don't know," Ross mused. "This secret is probably the reason for his invincibility. If only we could uncover it..."

"Is there a secret? He's clearly just a native of Qi Yuan Star," said the head of the Technical Department. "There's nothing wrong with the data from the server."

"Gao Qiao, is there really no way to limit his divine power?" Ross asked.

"Ross, I've already said, there is a way, but it's not worth it," Gao Qiao replied. "Unless you're willing to suspend Resource Game for two years to completely change the server settings."

"..." Ross paused, shaking his head. "Forget it, remove the keyword assignment. We'll explain to the public that other contestants have already received external support, and further limiting Du Ge would be too unfair."

"Should we assign a top-tier keyword to Du Ge?" Gao Qiao asked.

"The last time we assigned a keyword to Du Ge, it was chosen after consulting all the audience's opinions," Ross said, glancing at him. "If Du Ge randomly gets a good keyword, it's his luck. But if we assign it and it's discovered, what will happen to the company's reputation?"

"Ross, there's always a chance. What if he gets a bad keyword and flips the table?" Gao Qiao asked.

"He won't dare," Ross snorted. "A threat in hand is most effective."

"What if?" Gao Qiao asked.

"What if? Then it's the mandate of heaven for our game," Ross glared at him. "Gao Qiao, if it comes to that, wouldn't you rather forcibly stop the Alien Star Battlefield? Explaining to a bunch of gamblers is better than the show collapsing..."

"Forcibly stopping the show isn't good for its reputation either!" Gao Qiao muttered.

"Don't worry, that little guy is smart. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, he won't risk his life. We may see him as an ant ready to fight us to the death, but in his mind, he might think his life is more important than all of Pan-Universal Entertainment!

Moreover, even with a keyword like 'low-key,' Du Ge managed to make a splash. What keyword could possibly stump him?

But this is ultimately a hidden danger.

Gao Qiao, think of a way to adjust the data through the intelligent brain during the game to limit his divine power.

Hod, have the Planning Department figure out how to quickly reduce Du Ge's impact on the show."

"Alright!" Gao Qiao agreed, his voice somewhat bitter. When he heard Du Ge's threat, he realized he'd be tasked with this difficult and thankless job, and in the end, he couldn't escape it.

"Ross, don't worry too much," said Bas, the head of the Exploration Department. "The next Alien Star Battlefield's main planet is a world of Xianxia civilization. The immortality techniques of that world can overturn rivers and seas, and their wonders sometimes even baffle me. Du Ge is a clever little guy; he'll skillfully combine his water affinity with immortality techniques."

"I know the next game field is fine, but what about the one after that, and the one after that?" Ross looked at the head of the Exploration Department and asked, "Bas, can you always find Alien Star Battlefields that match Du Ge's two divine powers? You haven't even found a multi-civilization coexistence planet that would allow Du Ge's escape plan to succeed."

"..." Bas hesitated, awkwardly retorting, "Finding a universe with multi-civilization coexistence isn't easy. This Xianxia civilization is already quite good; their immortality techniques involve multi-dimensional space and soul levels.

The world's ruler has mastered the use of rules, and if handled well, the excitement level might not be inferior to your escape plan..."

"It's precisely this mastery of rule usage that's unreliable," Ross sighed. "It might lead to the complete annihilation of Alien Star warriors."

"Ross, your demands are too high," Bas said. "You want progressive layers and alignment with Alien Star warriors' levels. How can there be so many civilizations in the universe that suit your needs? Besides, the time you give is too short."

"What's the time ratio this time?" Ross asked.

"One to one hundred and fifty," Bas replied. "However, the immortals in the new Alien Star Battlefield have incredibly long lifespans, and the ruler can almost live as long as heaven and earth.

Moreover, the cultivation time for mortals is often calculated in centuries.

In such a world, Du Ge can't possibly speedrun. Just give me a year, and I can definitely find a multi-civilization coexistence game field."

"Are you sure?" Ross asked.

"One hundred percent sure," Bas said. "The last game field was delayed by two months before it ended. The Exploration Department thoroughly scanned the new game field and conducted a comprehensive analysis of its social structure. There won't be any mistakes."
