World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 549: I will complete the setting of this world

To deal with greedy people, promise them benefits; to deal with arrogant people, stir up their sense of responsibility; to deal with cowardly people, simply intimidate them...

Find the weakness, and everything will go smoothly.

...

Take a gamble?

Xu Jinghui was in a daze.

Once upon a time, he too was bewitched by the rhetoric of taking a gamble for himself, which led him to foolishly board the ancestor's pirate ship!

No, that's not right.

Back then, it was different. He was already driven to a dead end; if he didn't agree with the ancestor, he would have died...

Xu Jinghui desperately tried to justify himself, unwilling to admit he was deceived. But thinking about how the current outcome might be worse than death, he felt like crying without tears. How did things come to this?

The Seed Plan, the Human Emperor Plan, the Literary Heart and Martial Courage...

Which one is real?

Xu Jinghui's mind was a mess. Looking at Du Ge standing there, he suddenly had a strange thought: perhaps there was no Seed Plan at all, and it was all this ancestor stirring up the storm!

Once this thought emerged, it couldn't be suppressed.

He even had the urge to rush back to Dragon and Tiger Mountain, to confront Xu Jin Kui, Qingluan, and everyone else. He wanted to see what was true and what was false.

If it was really Du Ge alone stirring up the storm, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation...

No matter how good the Dao resonance, it's not as important as being alive!

A madman dancing on the edge of a knife with Du Ge...

...

The court was eerily silent!

The secrets Du Ge revealed were too shocking, making everyone's scalp tingle and souls tremble, yet there was also a sense of longing.

So, the ancient Human Emperor was on par with the Celestial Emperor?

So, the civil and military officials had the Literary Heart and Martial Courage, enough to contend with immortals...

So, the reason the human race has fallen to this point is because of the Celestial Emperor's conspiracy, and the high and mighty Celestial Emperor is actually a despicable person...

...

"I don't believe it," Chi Muzhi said with red eyes, "Empty words, without evidence, who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"

"This is the evidence..." Du Ge summoned divine power, lifting the old emperor He Yanzhao into the air again. Watching He Yanzhao struggle incessantly, he said, "In ancient times, the dragon vein relied on the Human Emperor to exist. How could it be like now, losing the dragon vein, and the so-called emperor is no different from a lamb to be slaughtered? What right does such a waste have to rule the human dynasty..."

Woo!

He Yanzhao struggled continuously.

Earlier, he was stirred by Du Ge's words, his blood boiling. Now, Du Ge trampled his dignity into the ground, and the resentment in his heart surged again in an instant.

What does the glory of the human race have to do with him?

No matter how glorious, his throne has come to an end!

Only by maintaining the current situation can he continue to enjoy this supreme power...

...

Chi Muzhi and others looked at He Yanzhao, who was being held by Du Ge, but they no longer felt the anger from before. Instead, they fell into silence.

Yes!

All along, the royal family relied on the protection of the dragon vein, and everyone thought it was heaven protecting the human dynasty.

But without this layer of protection, with the emperor being manipulated, they suddenly realized that even the emperor, who dominated the fate of countless people, was nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered in front of cultivators!

How can one talk about governing the human world when they can't even protect their own life?

Bang!

He Yanzhao was thrown down by Du Ge, rolling awkwardly at Du Ge's feet.

Du Ge stood there, elegant and poised, forming a stark contrast with the disheveled He Yanzhao.

His gaze swept over the ministers below: "Are you willing to accept abdication now?"

No one in the Golden Throne Hall answered.

Many people turned their eyes to Prime Minister Chi Muzhi, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Prime Minister Chi, you speak," Du Ge looked at Chi Muzhi and asked.

"Why choose New Moon?" Chi Muzhi asked hoarsely.

All the grand principles were blocked.

After thinking it over, he could only throw out such a question, trying to find a reason to refute the other party.

He was already old, and even if he ignored the grand principles of the human race, he could still live a peaceful and happy life. Instead, getting involved in this so-called Human Emperor Plan, getting involved in the struggles between big figures, might not end well.

To let his old bones give up glory and wealth to fight for future generations, he couldn't do it...

...

"New Moon is just a pilot, and once successful, it will be expanded outward, gradually covering the entire Eastern Divine Continent and the entire human world," Du Ge said.

"The so-called Literary Heart and Martial Courage, can we master it?" Chi Muzhi asked again.

"Yes." Du Ge glanced at him and nodded.

"How to cultivate?" Chi Muzhi was shocked and asked.

"To cultivate literary qi, one must establish a Literary Heart," Du Ge said. "By writing books and governing the country, communicating with the fortune of the human world, one can condense a Literary Heart.

The Literary Heart has nine grades, with the first grade being the strongest and the ninth grade the weakest.

The first grade corresponds to the Great Golden Immortal, and the ninth grade corresponds to the Qi Refiner. When the Literary Heart cultivation reaches its peak and is recognized by the Human Emperor, one can become a Literary Saint, leaving a lasting legacy and enjoying the honor of the ancestral temple, comparable to the Primordial Saints of the celestial realm."

When Du Ge matched the Literary Heart with the cultivation realms, the civil officials present immediately became excited.

They opposed the Human Emperor Plan because they were worried that cultivators would seize power and cast them into the dust.

Now, since they have the qualification to contend with cultivators, it seems that supporting the Human Emperor might not be a bad idea?

Chi Muzhi trembled slightly and asked, "Can the Literary Heart achieve immortality?"

All the civil officials' eyes focused on Du Ge.

"Breaking through realms can naturally achieve it," Du Ge said confidently. "In ancient times, Literary Saints could live as long as heaven and earth."

Gulp!

The sound of swallowing echoed in the court.

Nothing is more tempting than immortality. Chi Muzhi asked in a trembling voice, "What supernatural powers does the Literary Heart have?"

As a prime minister, he must understand things clearly and cannot be fooled by a few words and rush to his death.

"I don't know the specific supernatural powers, but according to the inheritance obtained by the Eastern Emperor," Du Ge looked around at everyone, "with talent in hand, a poem can kill enemies. A line like 'The vast sea and sky, a hundred feet of ice' can condense a hundred feet of ice; a line like 'Iron horses and icy rivers enter dreams' can send thousands of troops into others' dreams; a line like 'A waterfall descends three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling from the heavens' can summon a waterfall from the sky..."

Hiss!

The civil officials present gasped, and images described by Du Ge naturally appeared in their minds, stirring their emotions.

They are not familiar with the path of cultivation, but they are familiar with poetry!

Not to mention anything else, just the line 'A waterfall descends three thousand feet' is enough to spark endless imagination. This line of poetry is probably written by an ancient Literary Saint!

"Must it be one's own poetry?" the Minister of Personnel asked, worried that he might miss out on this benefit because he was not good at poetry.

"If everyone had to write their own poetry, how could the Literary Heart last long?" Du Ge smiled and said, "In battle, the poetry written by others can naturally be used, but one must be able to bear the consumption of literary qi."

"How to enhance the Literary Heart and literary qi?" someone else asked.

"Naturally, by writing poetry and articles. If the articles and poetry are recognized by heaven and earth, literary qi will descend and fill the body," Du Ge said. "Without the method of cultivation, how could the human race have stood firm in ancient times? How could they have contended with the demon race, cultivators, and countless ghost spirits..."

The more Du Ge spoke, the more it seemed real. Xu Jinghui frowned frequently, as if he saw a real Literary Saint of the human race writing to bring peace to the world.

Could everything he said be true?

Is the Seed Plan because they obtained the Human Emperor's inheritance?

Yes, if the Human Emperor's abilities were not enough to contend with the Celestial Emperor, how could the people behind the organization dare to oppose the Celestial Emperor?

Xu Jinghui convinced himself again, and his restless heart calmed down.

However.

He still didn't believe it was just the Eastern Emperor who obtained the Human Emperor's inheritance!

The imperial teacher and other cultivators looked at each other, their mouths dry, feeling that a real change was coming.

In a whispering crowd.

Du Ge looked at his flickering personal interface, and under the persuasion keywords, a new skill appeared:

Heavenly Mandate: The more people believe in the words you speak, and the wider they spread, the greater the chance they will become reality.

Du Ge's emotions had been stable, but after seeing this new skill, he couldn't hold it anymore, and his heart raced.

Damn!

Isn't this the power of words becoming reality? It's even more powerful than the previous skill of a single move affecting the whole situation...

Among the things he said in this world, the most powerful is not the Literary Heart and Martial Courage, but the identity of the Heavenly Demon, who is on par with the Dao Ancestor...

If he solidifies that identity and then solidifies the identity of the Human Emperor, he would truly have the strength to contend with the Dao Ancestor and the Celestial Emperor.

The key is, he can also use this skill to trap his enemies!

Weaken the Dao Ancestor, the Celestial Emperor, the demon race, and take down the strongest ones. In this world, he would be unrivaled!

However.

Du Ge was a bit skeptical about the effect of this skill. If the skills from the Pan-Universal Entertainment Company could directly weaken and defeat enemies like the Dao Ancestor.

Then what would he use to fight against the Pan-Universal?

He might as well wash up and surrender directly. With his qualifications, serving the Pan-Universal Entertainment would definitely be better than other Alien Star warriors.

Seeing this newly emerged powerful skill, Du Ge was very conflicted, wanting the skill to be strong, yet hoping it wasn't too strong...

...

"Can you only use poetry to fight?" Chi Muzhi's voice interrupted Du Ge's thoughts.

"The stronger the Literary Heart level, the more you can speak in eloquence and slay enemies on the battlefield," Du Ge glanced at him and continued to refine the setting of the Literary Heart, "This is what is called verbal criticism."

The skill of Heavenly Mandate requires many believers for it to have a chance to become reality.

Therefore.

He needed to make the rules he set up more complete and rigorous, leaving no room for criticism.

If he continued to make things up as he did before, using people and then discarding them, he would only gain temporary benefits and not long-term ones.

"What about Martial Courage?" General Qiu Shiwang looked at the many civil officials enthusiastically discussing the Literary Heart, feeling itchy and finally couldn't help but ask.

"The Literary Heart communicates with heaven and earth, while Martial Courage strengthens oneself. The Literary Heart and Martial Courage assist the Human Emperor, who communicates with heaven and earth, feeding back to the civil and military officials, complementing each other and indispensable," Du Ge, having read many novels on Earth, came up with the setting off the top of his head, "The Literary Heart has nine grades, and Martial Courage has ten realms.

The lowest is the warrior, and the highest is the Martial Saint. Achieving the Martial Saint, one stands with their head in the sky and feet on the ground, not revering the heavens, not fearing ghosts and gods.

In ancient times, there was the God of War Xingtian, who, after being beheaded, used his chest as eyes and navel as mouth, wielding a battle axe with both hands, still slaying nine Great Golden Immortals;

There was the chaos of the Golden Crow, ten suns in the sky, and the bow god Hou Yi, who bent his bow and shot down nine suns;

There was the God of War Gonggong, who, dissatisfied with the Celestial Emperor's suppression of the human race, single-handedly broke the pillar of heaven, shaking the roots of the earth, causing the sky to hang upside down and the earth to tilt...

This is the power of the Martial Saint!"

Following the Literary Heart, the realm of the Martial Saint further stirred the emotions of the military generals, making them eager to become Martial Saints and shake the heavens and earth.

The imperial teacher and other cultivators were dumbfounded, believing most of it in their hearts. If the human race only had the Human Emperor to support them, how could they contend with the Celestial Emperor?

With the addition of the Literary Heart and Martial Courage, it immediately became much more reasonable!

But the more reasonable it was, the more afraid they became!

If something goes wrong, there could really be rivers of blood...

...

"What are the ten realms of the Martial Saint?"

"Warrior, Martial Soldier, Wuying, Martial General..."

"Why, if the ancient human race was so powerful, is there no information passed down today?"

"This is the despicable nature of the Celestial Emperor, who framed the Human Emperor, exterminated the human elite, and then recompiled the scriptures, destroyed the Dao, and bloodily suppressed generation after generation, forming the current situation, completely bringing the human race under the rule of the celestial realm."

"The Eastern Emperor is a Great Golden Immortal, and even if he is the Human Emperor's inheritance, why should an immortal do it?"

"The Eastern Emperor is also a human who became an immortal, so why can't he be the Human Emperor? Moreover, the emergence of the Human Emperor's inheritance is the condensation of fortune. The Emperor calculated that the Human Emperor's inheritance is divided into nine parts, like nine sons competing for the throne, and the final choice of the Human Emperor may not necessarily be the Eastern Emperor."

Because of the new skill, Du Ge ultimately left himself a way out. All the settings he made, the final Human Emperor could only be him.

Why should he let the Eastern Emperor, whom he had never met, take advantage of him for nothing?

He could only take the blame.

The more ways out he left, the higher the credibility would be.

Otherwise, with only one Eastern Emperor, how could he make a group of strangers work for him?

Facing the Celestial Emperor is really risking one's life!

...

Watching more and more people join the discussion on the Literary Heart and Martial Courage, He Yanzhao painfully closed his eyes, the situation was over, everything was finished.

"With all this excitement, it's all just a concept. How do you perceive the Literary Heart, you haven't said a word!"

The Crown Prince He Chengyu, who had the same thought as He Yanzhao, was also exhausted from competing with his brothers. Suddenly, an outsider appeared and took everything away, which was unbearable for anyone!

"First, the Human Emperor must re-establish the human Dao tradition for the Literary Heart and Martial Courage to revive," Du Ge glanced at the Crown Prince and continued to refine the setting, "Otherwise, why would I come to New Moon?"

"With nothing, you want New Moon to charge into battle for you?" He Chengyu retorted, "The celestial realm is powerful, even Literary Saints who live as long as heaven and earth, and Martial Saints who stand with their heads in the sky and feet on the ground have failed. Why should you ask these unarmed civil and military officials to die for a vague dream?"

Du Ge looked coldly at He Chengyu and said sternly, "Crown Prince, do you know why the human race stands tall, able to establish themselves in the three realms?"

"..." The Crown Prince was stunned.

"The ancestors of humanity had no sharp claws, no unparalleled talent, inferior to immortals above, inferior to demons below," Du Ge said, "but they had an unyielding heart. In ancient times, there was the Human Emperor Shen Nong, who tasted hundreds of herbs to find food for the human race and eventually died from poisonous grass;

There was the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, who led troops to fight the demon god Chiyou in the Central Plains, driving the demon race into the mountains, securing a place for the human race to survive;

There was Xingtian dancing with shield and axe, there was Hou Yi shooting down nine suns...

The development and growth of the human race were fought for, snatched, exchanged for by the blood and sacrifice of countless ancestors, fought with heaven, fought with demons, fought with immortals, fought with one knife and one spear.

At that time, did they ever ask for any benefits or seek stability?

Now you keep talking about dying or not dying?

The backbone of the human race is broken like this, and a coward like you is only fit to be kept as livestock, begging for food like pigs and sheep!

Without a heart of sacrifice and dedication, even with the Literary Heart and Martial Courage, they cannot awaken...

Moreover, who said there are no benefits? The revival of the human race, the positions of Literary Saint and Martial Saint are vacant, now is the best opportunity, my coming to New Moon is your fortune."

He Chengyu was left speechless by Du Ge's ridicule, his face flushed red, glaring at Du Ge in anger, but unable to say a word in rebuttal.

"Since ancient times, who hasn't died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history. This is a poem left by a Literary Saint when he fell in ancient times."

Du Ge looked at the ministers below, standing straight, "Gentlemen, today I stand here to ask you, are you willing to continue to linger on, continue to be maggots with broken spines, or are you willing to stand up, wield a knife to the heavens for the revival of the human race, and become a person remembered in history."

Since ancient times, who hasn't died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history?

Chi Muzhi muttered this line of poetry, looked at the flushed Crown Prince, thought of Prince Duan who died for power and profit, and his blood suddenly ignited. If he could obtain the position of a Literary Saint, this life would be enough.

But before he could take that step.

A newly appointed minister suddenly stood up, red-eyed, and said, "Immortal, I am willing to fight for the human race."

"I am willing too."

"I am willing too."

"I am willing too."

After someone took the lead, the officials in the court who still had passion in their hearts stood up one after another, not only for ideals but also for a chance to be remembered in history, and for the vacant positions of Literary Saint and Martial Saint that Du Ge mentioned.
