World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 546: Let's give Master a surprise

Du Ge was kind-hearted.

Although the Southern Emperor had ulterior motives, Du Ge still allowed him to comprehend the Dao resonance for an hour. Only when his own face turned pale did he have to retract the Dao resonance back into his body, dejectedly telling the Emperor, "I did my best," which completely won over the Emperor's favor.

Afterward, Du Ge got what he wanted: the Southern Emperor's "Xuantian Technique" and many practical small spells taught by the Emperor, including the art of transformation.

However, the Southern Emperor's transformation technique could only change a person’s appearance, not into other species, making it a relatively low-level transformation art.

Even so, being able to change his appearance and body shape was already very useful for Du Ge at the moment, at least solving the problem of his childlike appearance, which was quite inconvenient for doing things.

The Southern Emperor mentioned that the strongest transformation arts were the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Assistant Star and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiend Star, but such arts required mastering the innate energy first, which had high requirements for aptitude and were not something an average person could learn.

If Du Ge was interested in transformation arts, the Emperor promised to help him find similar techniques in the celestial realm once he became a Golden Immortal.

At the same time, the Emperor reminded Du Ge that the core of cultivation was still cultivation level and realm, and that magic was just a side branch, advising him not to spend too much effort on these things.

All transformation arts were ultimately illusions; any high-level eye techniques could easily see through them.

Overindulgence in magic was not beneficial to cultivation...

...

Du Ge didn’t care about any of that; transformation arts were every Earth man's dream.

Having finally arrived in a world with immortal arts, he had to find a way to experience them, even if he couldn’t take them back.

Moreover, Du Ge felt he wasn’t lacking in innate energy, as the Sun God, Dark God, and Sea God were all nurtured by nature, representing the innate. Otherwise, Dao resonance wouldn’t have emerged.

The key was that the cultivation techniques in this world seemed to be related to the soul and mental power, and Du Ge felt these techniques could be taken out.

Just like when his three Elemental Infants merged into one, his mental power value astonishingly broke through a hundred million, a figure Du Ge had never dared to imagine before.

Although he hadn’t yet discovered the secret of Pan-Universal Entertainment controlling souls, he felt he wasn’t far from it.

After all, he was currently only at the Integration stage, with several realms above him, including True Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Great Golden Immortal!

If he could truly escape Pan-Universal Entertainment in this world, he wouldn’t need to return to Qi Yuan Star. Naturally, the higher his position in this world, the better, and uniting more natives would be more advantageous for him.

A red heart, two preparations.

However, the premise of all this was that he must stay on this Alien Star Battlefield for a longer time.

Therefore.

Other Alien Star warriors must play their roles to make Pan-Universal Entertainment's program more exciting.

Otherwise, if he shone alone and the audience got bored, Pan-Universal Entertainment might end this Alien Star Battlefield early, and who knew when he’d encounter a similar world of immortals again.

Seeing the hope of escaping Pan-Universal Entertainment, Du Ge no longer cared about rankings and resources.

This time, he was genuinely intent on helping other Alien Star warriors rise.

...

"Qingcheng greets Senior Brother Qingluan."

Du Ge obediently saluted the azure-clad immortal before him.

The Southern Emperor handed Du Ge over to Qingluan, instructing him to take care of Du Ge during his training and ensure his safety, before eagerly going into seclusion.

"Junior Brother, no need for formalities." Qingluan looked at Du Ge, puzzled. He knew Du Ge was sent by Xu Jinghui from Dragon and Tiger Mountain and roughly understood he was the culprit behind the chaos in the New Moon, but he didn’t expect this little child to become the Master's last disciple, his own junior brother...

"Senior Brother, can I meet the other senior brothers?" Du Ge tugged at Qingluan's sleeve and whispered, "Since I’ve become Master’s disciple, I shouldn’t walk around not knowing my own senior brothers."

More friends mean more paths. Du Ge valued interpersonal relationships the most. Among a group of True Immortals mingling in the mortal world, getting familiar with them first would make it natural to seek their help when encountering difficulties.

As his junior brother, they couldn’t possibly neglect him!

Du Ge’s request wasn’t unreasonable, so Qingluan nodded and took him to visit the many disciples of the Southern Emperor one by one.

"This is Third Senior Brother Qingshan, who oversees all the deities within the Southern Emperor's domain."

"Greetings, Third Senior Brother. This is a piece of One Yuan Heavy Water, a token of respect from your junior brother. Qingcheng has just joined Master’s sect and doesn’t have many treasures, so this One Yuan Heavy Water is something I condensed myself. Please don’t disdain it." Du Ge politely offered his gift.

Since when did junior brothers give gifts to senior brothers? Third Senior Brother Qingshan was bewildered as he accepted the small piece of One Yuan Heavy Water, saying, "I don’t disdain it; Junior Brother is thoughtful."

Seeing his gift accepted, Du Ge beamed, bowed again, and said, "Third Senior Brother, please continue with your work. I’ll be going to the mortal world for training with Eldest Senior Brother later, so I won’t disturb you any longer."

Third Senior Brother was taken aback, glanced at the One Yuan Heavy Water crystal in his palm, and hurriedly said, "Junior Brother, wait."

"Please instruct me, Third Senior Brother." Du Ge stopped.

"Junior Brother, don’t be so formal." Qingshan looked at the well-behaved Du Ge, smiled, and took out a bottle of pills. "It’s our first meeting; it’s unusual for a junior brother to give a gift to a senior brother. Your cultivation level is still low; this is a bottle of Nine Yang Pills, which will be useful for your training and cultivation."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Du Ge was overjoyed and bowed to Qingshan again.

"No need to be polite with Senior Brother." Qingshan waved his hand, smiling. "While training outside, if you encounter any trouble, you can summon the deities to inform me, and I’ll help you resolve it."

"I will." Du Ge smiled and showed the token given by the Southern Emperor. "Master has already taught me how to dispatch the deities, so I’ll inevitably trouble Third Senior Brother in the future."

Seeing the token, Qingluan and Qingshan were both stunned, looking at Du Ge with increasing seriousness.

Next.

Du Ge visited Qinghe, who managed the night deities, Qingfeng, who managed the mountain gods, Qingyun, who managed the city gods, and Qingming, who managed the earth gods...

Using the One Yuan Heavy Water he casually condensed, he gained favor and managed to obtain quite a few good things from them, including pills, talismans, and protective magical artifacts...

The name of Qingcheng, the Southern Emperor’s last disciple, spread throughout the Southern Emperor’s domain with Du Ge’s visits, and everyone knew that the little junior brother Qingcheng was highly valued by the Master.

...

"Senior Brother, let’s go! To train." After collecting a round of treasures, Du Ge used the Sumeru Mustard Seed technique to store his treasures in his sleeve and called to Eldest Senior Brother Qingluan.

"What about mine?" Qingluan looked at Du Ge, who hadn’t given him anything, with a slight frown. It wasn’t about having less but about inequality; Du Ge had given gifts to everyone but seemed to have forgotten him, the Eldest Senior Brother, which inevitably made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Du Ge paused, pretended to remember, chuckled, hid his hands behind his back, and temporarily condensed an oversized piece of One Yuan Heavy Water, offering it to Qingluan with both hands: "Eldest Senior Brother is taking me out for training; how could I forget Eldest Senior Brother? Yours is the largest, and I’ve put the most thought into it..."

Qingluan’s mood brightened instantly upon seeing the One Yuan Heavy Water, shaking his head and taking out a set of magical artifacts he had prepared for a long time: "Pills and talismans have been given to you by other senior brothers. I can’t be stingy, so I’ll give you a set of magical artifacts!

This set is called the Heavenly Assistant Star Beads, which I obtained from the crafting department in the celestial realm. When used together for defense, they can withstand a strike from a Golden Immortal; when used for attack, each bead can kill a True Immortal. Unless absolutely necessary, do not use these artifacts."

Kill a True Immortal?

Du Ge looked at the nine Heavenly Assistant Star Beads strung together in Qingluan’s palm, stunned. Was he kidding? Qingluan himself was just a True Immortal; wasn’t he afraid Du Ge would smash all nine beads on him?

The magical treasures in the world of immortals were truly troublesome, hard to guard against!

"Junior Brother, take them; what are you thinking?" Qingluan urged.

"Senior Brother, the Heavenly Assistant Star Beads are too precious; I can’t accept them." Du Ge shook his head seriously, saying, "With Senior Brother’s protection, I don’t need this set of magical artifacts for training outside. Just give me a few bottles of pills."

"Your cultivation level has just entered the Integration stage; pills are useless to you." Qingluan smiled, placing the Heavenly Assistant Star Beads in Du Ge’s palm. "Take them; you may not need them now, but you will in the future. As for pills, with Master around, you won’t lack them."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Du Ge looked at the dazzling Heavenly Assistant Star Beads in his palm and said, "Senior Brother Qingluan, when I find good treasures in the future, I’ll think of you first."

"Having that thought is enough." Qingluan smiled, patting Du Ge’s head, his impression of this sensible junior brother reaching an extremely high point.

...

"Junior Brother, did you say that the One Yuan Heavy Water was condensed by you?"

Leaving Xuan Mountain with Du Ge, Qingluan leisurely rode the clouds, not in a hurry. Since Master had even given this junior brother a token, he felt it necessary to understand him better and strengthen their bond.

"Senior Brother, I am an Innate Water Spirit. After reaching the Integration stage, I gained the ability to condense One Yuan Heavy Water." Du Ge casually replied to Qingluan while sensing the enhancements from reaching the Integration stage. His perception range had expanded further, seemingly covering a thousand miles.

In this world, he didn’t have the Power of Faith and hadn’t really increased his attributes much.

The attributes gained from the brutal experiences in the New Moon were far from enough. If not for the support of persuasion, the attributes he gained from acting obediently would have long been depleted.

With little attribute growth, his current achievements were likely due to the effects of his divine body.

At this rate, one day, when he becomes a Golden Immortal, even without relying on skills, his perception might cover the entire continent!

If his perception could cover such a vast area, the top beings like the Dao Ancestor and Immortal Emperor in this world should be able to monitor the entire world!

His actions shouldn’t escape these mighty beings, right? Could it be that there were too many people to monitor, or was there another reason?

In Earth’s mythology, deities often calculated the cause and effect of events with a finger snap.

But in this world, Du Ge hadn’t found similar magic, and Xu Jin Kui and others never mentioned divination?

How strange!

...

Innate Water Spirit?

Qingluan was momentarily stunned, suddenly understanding why the Emperor valued him.

One Yuan Heavy Water could refine elemental spirits, which, although more beneficial to mortal cultivators, was not without benefits for them. If the quantity was sufficient, it could improve their immortal bodies.

"Junior Brother, don’t tell others about your Innate Water Spirit and supernatural powers; it could bring you trouble." Qingluan realized the importance of his junior brother and solemnly advised the seemingly naive Du Ge.

"I know, Master has instructed me." Du Ge nodded, looking at Qingluan. "Senior Brother, Master might not have told you, but I’m actually on a mission during this training."

"What mission?" Qingluan asked casually.

What mission could there be for an Integration stage training? It was probably just Master fooling a child to broaden his horizons.

"Master is aiming to become a Golden Immortal and wants me to secretly cultivate a new force centered around me." Du Ge glanced at the sky and transmitted his voice to Qingluan.

"Golden Immortal?" Qingluan’s pupils trembled.

Shh!

Du Ge put a finger to his lips, looked around, waved his hand to create a water curtain, shielding them, and lowered his voice: "Senior Brother, let me show you something good."

Qingluan looked at Du Ge curiously, then widened his eyes: "Dao resonance?"

"Yes, it’s Dao resonance." The Dao resonance on Du Ge’s body flashed briefly, and he said proudly, "Senior Brother, now you understand why Master took me as a disciple! Master said that with the Dao resonance on me, he could not only become a Golden Immortal but also have a chance to become a Great Golden Immortal..."

Great Golden Immortal?

Qingluan’s mind went blank, as if his thoughts had stopped.

After several catastrophes, many great powers had fallen.

Now, in the celestial realm, there were fewer than a hundred Great Golden Immortals, and each held the most important positions, like the few Emperors and Celestial Lords...

It was said that the Immortal Emperor and Queen Mother were also Great Golden Immortals, unable to take that step to become Primordial Saints for millions of years, calling themselves Quasi-Saints, but Quasi-Saints were essentially Great Golden Immortals!

He couldn’t imagine if one day their Master became a Great Golden Immortal, how high their status as disciples would be!

"Junior Brother, did Master say that?" Qingluan restrained his excitement and transmitted his voice to Du Ge.

"Master only mentioned the Golden Immortal; I added the Great Golden Immortal for him." Du Ge patted his chest.

"..." Qingluan was speechless.

He rolled his eyes at Du Ge, took a deep breath to calm himself.

Golden Immortal was good enough.

Becoming a Golden Immortal meant no longer wasting years in this spiritually barren mortal realm.

Bearing the title of Emperor seemed glorious, but managing only a group of yin deities, apart from reporting to the celestial realm, wasn’t much different from exile.

"Senior Brother, Master told me not to reveal this matter, as it could negatively affect him and might lead to interference." Du Ge said, "But I thought about it and decided to tell you. Since you’re accompanying me for training, there are many things I don’t understand, and if I do something wrong, you can correct me."

"Telling me is the right choice." Qingluan pursed his lips, saying, "Junior Brother, but don’t tell anyone else about this or your Dao resonance."

"Okay, I’ll listen to Senior Brother." Du Ge nodded. "Senior Brother, let’s go to Dragon and Tiger Mountain first!"

"Why go to Dragon and Tiger Mountain?" Qingluan asked.

"Wasn’t Senior Brother out when Xu Jinghui sent me here that day?" Du Ge said, "Do you know why he sent you out?"

"Why?" Qingluan frowned.

"Because he wants to break away from Master Xu and establish his own sect, using Master as backing, and I am his bargaining chip." Du Ge pointed at himself proudly. "We’re going to Dragon and Tiger Mountain first to reassure them, letting them know Master values them."

"Did Master instruct this?" Qingluan asked.

"Yes." Du Ge nodded without hesitation.

Using the tiger’s skin as a banner, since the Southern Emperor was in seclusion, he could say whatever he wanted. He had to integrate all forces before the rankings were announced to counter unknown dangers.

Or rather, drag everyone down with him, binding them together.

"How can Dragon and Tiger Mountain provide any support to Master?" Qingluan frowned.

"Everyone in Dragon and Tiger Mountain has comprehended Dao resonance from me. When they grow, they will be the best generation." Du Ge looked at Qingluan. "For Master to become a Golden Immortal and establish himself in the celestial realm, he needs more allies, so he agreed to their terms."

Wave after wave of news left Qingluan stunned, his mind, calm for thousands of years, struggling to keep up, nodding blankly: "Since they’re cultivators who have comprehended Dao resonance, it’s indeed worth a visit."

"Senior Brother, don’t be disheartened." Du Ge smiled at the dazed Qingluan. "I can secretly let you comprehend Dao resonance too; just don’t tell Master, and we’ll give him a surprise. Since Master needs support, who’s more trustworthy than his own people?"

"..." Qingluan was shocked, his heart racing, feeling as if he had found his own opportunity.
