World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 556: Your Majesty, what do you have to compete with Pan-Universal Entertainment?

Du Ge sat on the golden chair, with his two senior brothers, Qingshan and Qinghe, standing beside him. Outside the hall stood Xu Jinghui and Lou Zhen.

On the lower side.

One side was the Western Emperor He Daowen and his two disciples, while the other side was the demon king Lin Xiaotian and his four guardians.

At this moment.

None of the three parties spoke.

The Western Emperor and the demon king had comparable cultivation levels, both at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

The Western Emperor He Daowen's cultivation level was slightly higher. After all, although he was in the mortal world, he had the supply of elixirs from the celestial court.

The demon race had been cast down to the mortal world, relying on blessed lands for cultivation.

No matter how vast the blessed lands were, they couldn't compare to the spiritual power-rich celestial realm. Unless they had superior talent and cultivation techniques, demon kings of the same level were generally no match for celestial beings.

Especially when he mixed all the Dao resonance together, it was profound beyond measure, like adding many useless distracting conditions to a math problem, making it dazzling and incomprehensible at first glance.

Not only him, but also his disciples, the demon king Lin Xiaotian, and the demon race guardians he brought were all captivated by the Dao resonance, each showing a look of fascination. After all, Dao resonance was a rare treasure that benefited every cultivator for life.

The Western Emperor was not afraid of Lin Xiaotian and originally planned to forcibly break through the demon king's blockade to attack Du Ge, to clear up the misunderstanding with the Eastern Emperor. But seeing the dragon-shaped phantom entwined around Du Ge, he froze on the spot.

A dragon's roar, the dragon vein manifested, surrounding him and repelling all the Western Emperor's pressure.

The cultivation levels of the two were high enough that Du Ge's transformation technique was transparent to them.

Even though he was a legitimate god of the celestial court, he couldn't directly attack a mortal emperor, or else the dragon vein would backlash, and his cultivation might dissipate into smoke.

With the top ten list exposed, the Eastern Emperor had alien star warrior captives, and sooner or later, he would have a direct confrontation with the Eastern Emperor. Du Ge simply changed his strategy.

"Dragon vein protection?"

"I am the reincarnation of a true spirit of the ancient Human Emperor Xuanyuan. Recently, I received the Human Emperor's inheritance and awakened the memories of my past life. I borrowed the name of the Eastern Emperor to seize the throne of New Moon, intending to revive the human race." Du Ge glanced at the two, speaking calmly, "Today, I wish to invite the two of you to assist in the rise of the human race and resist the celestial realm together."

The Western Emperor had always believed that the Human Emperor was acting under the orders of the Eastern Emperor. Now, he was somewhat confused as to why the Emperor would choose a child for such an important task.

Earlier, he looked down on Du Ge because of his childlike appearance, but now, with Du Ge's dragon vein protection, standing firm against the pressure of a Heavenly Immortal, he reignited hope in his heart.

Lin Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he also stood up, confronting the Western Emperor with a slight smile on his face: "What does the Emperor intend?"

Moreover, he dared to toy with the Eastern Emperor. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Protecting the new Human Emperor and allowing him to grow would be a great aid to the demon race.

Seeing that the Human Emperor was just a child under ten years old, the words they had prepared were all swallowed back.

After the awakening of Literary Heart and Martial Courage, the human race's fortune blessed Du Ge, and the Dao resonance he released became increasingly profound.

When he stood up, the pressure of the Heavenly Immortal enveloped Du Ge.

Du Ge remained unmoved, merely activating the dragon vein within him.

"Your Majesty, please speak." The Western Emperor, considering the face of the Eastern Emperor, softened his tone slightly.

A chill ran through the Western Emperor's heart. He found himself in a deadly situation in this small mortal world. He wanted to flee, but as soon as he had the thought, a Xuan Gui Pearl appeared above his head, and black energy wrapped around his feet.

At the same time.

"Emperor, stay." Du Ge stood up with a smile.

He was a tiger demon, and after transforming, he was burly, with a yellow beard covering half his face. His voice was like a loud bell when he spoke.

After all, it was a treasure. Du Ge simply retracted the Xuan Gui Pearl and the Dark God power back into his body, then released the all-purpose killer weapon, Dao resonance.

Moreover, the opponent was not an ordinary mortal emperor, but likely the reincarnation of the ancient Human Emperor. Such karma was even more unbearable.

Lin Xiaotian came with high hopes for the Human Emperor's inheritance, but seeing Du Ge's true form, he was equally puzzled and even began to suspect that the so-called Human Emperor's inheritance was a complete scam.

And with Lin Xiaotian present, if he were backlashed by the dragon vein, the demon king probably wouldn't let him leave either...

Throughout history, no mortal emperor has been able to balance cultivation and dragon vein protection.

"..." Lin Xiaotian suddenly stood up, his tiger eyes fixed on Du Ge.

At the sight of the Dao resonance, the Western Emperor, who had intended to leave, reflexively stopped in his tracks, staring intently at the profound Dao resonance around Du Ge.

He couldn't bear such consequences.

With no one else in the Golden Throne Hall, Du Ge simply removed his transformation technique, slightly bowing: "Emperor, demon king, before we discuss matters, I have something to clarify."

...

Qingyun and Qinghe, the senior brothers, bore the brunt, groaning and spitting out blood. Against a strong opponent of the same level as the Southern Emperor, the two True Immortals had no power to resist.

The Xuan Gui Pearl was a treasure given by Master Xu to Daoming. Daoming was not his direct disciple, so the treasure given to him couldn't be too good, at most dealing with mortal cultivators or True Immortals, but against a Heavenly Immortal like the Western Emperor, it was impossible.

Or rather, he was unwilling to bear such consequences. Cultivating to the Heavenly Immortal realm and being conferred as a legitimate god was not easy. If his cultivation dissipated, even if he didn't die, how could he easily regain it?

So sometimes, profundity is not necessarily a good thing.

"Human Emperor, what do you intend by inviting Lin here?" Lin Xiaotian asked.

"Dao resonance?" The Western Emperor glanced at the Dao resonance, then forcibly fixed his gaze on Du Ge, asking warily.

Times have changed.

"Arrogant, do you think this broken pearl can hold me?" The Western Emperor didn't make any moves, but the Dark God power entangling Du Ge was forced aside, and the Xuan Gui Pearl above his head emitted cracking sounds, as if it could shatter at any moment.

"You, you dare to use the name of the Eastern Emperor to cause chaos in the mortal world. I will take you to see the Emperor." The Western Emperor stood up abruptly, looking at Du Ge with shock and fear. In an instant, all his doubts were resolved.

"Emperor, I was born with the Dao resonance surrounding me." Du Ge smiled faintly, saying, "Follow me, and you will comprehend the Dao resonance daily, and your realm will soon improve."

"Do not let external things confuse me." The Western Emperor said firmly, but his gaze never left the Dao resonance on Du Ge.

At this moment.

He was absolutely certain that the person before him was indeed the reincarnation of the Human Emperor.

Only innate divine spirits would be endowed with the creation of heaven and earth, with phenomena protecting them, something these acquired cultivators could only envy.

"Emperor, is Dao resonance an external thing?" Du Ge shook his head, revealing the Southern Emperor's token, "Emperor, do you think the Southern Emperor gave me his token because I deceived him?"

"..." The Western Emperor was stunned.

"You want to take me to the Eastern Emperor, but what benefits will you gain?" Du Ge chuckled, "Can it promote you to a higher position?"

"..." The Western Emperor remained silent.

"Are you content to remain a mere mountain god in the mortal world?" Du Ge asked.

Having swallowed the pills, Qingyun and Qinghe, whose injuries had long since healed, showed a slight change in expression, silently sighing in their hearts.

The Western Emperor continued to remain silent, but his trembling eyebrows betrayed his inner turmoil. The term "mountain god" struck the most painful chord in his heart.

"Friend He." Du Ge looked at the Western Emperor, quietly changing his address, "A wise bird chooses a tree to nest in, a loyal minister chooses a master to serve. What the celestial court cannot give you, I can. The Dao Ancestor and the Immortal Emperor are undergoing the Twilight of the Gods. The revival of the human race is unstoppable. Choosing the wrong side now might lead to death and the disappearance of one's Dao."

The Twilight of the Gods was no secret in New Moon. The Western Emperor and Lin Xiaotian, with their profound realms, could gather all the information with a single tour of New Moon.

Previously, the Western Emperor was skeptical about the Twilight of the Gods, but after seeing the dragon vein and Dao resonance on Du Ge, he was more than half convinced.

The demon king Lin Xiaotian looked at Du Ge and saw in him a majesty that transcended others, a presence that had weathered the vicissitudes of time. He no longer saw him as a child. Hearing this, he glanced disdainfully at the Western Emperor and declared, "Human Emperor, my demon race is willing to ally with the human race to resist the celestial court together."

"Lin demon king, can you represent the demon race?" Du Ge no longer paid attention to the silent Western Emperor but looked at Lin Xiaotian, smiling as he asked, "If the Eastern Emperor comes, how many rounds can you withstand?"

Lin Xiaotian was at a loss for words.

The Western Emperor suddenly came to his senses.

Indeed!

Although the person before him was the reincarnation of the ancient Human Emperor, his cultivation level was not high. If the Eastern Emperor came, who could stop him?

Relying on the protective dragon vein?

The dragon vein might be able to counter a Heavenly Immortal, but the Eastern Emperor was already a Great Golden Immortal, held in high esteem in the celestial court, and likely wouldn't fear a small dragon vein backlash.

"Human Emperor, the Eastern Divine Continent has the Eastern Emperor, and the demon race has the Demon Emperor, who is as renowned as the Immortal Emperor." Lin Xiaotian took a deep breath and said, "You should come with me to the demon race to see the Demon Emperor. With your status as the Human Emperor, the Demon Emperor will surely protect you."

Before he finished speaking.

The scenery before everyone changed, and they found themselves in the clouds.

Above the clouds, the Eastern Emperor and the Central Emperor were smiling at Du Ge. Behind them were Ning Xianping and Feng Xuan, two alien star warriors.

Ning Xianping and Feng Xuan immediately looked at Du Ge. Seeing his child's body, they were simultaneously stunned and admired him even more. A child or an old man was the worst option for body possession. Unless there was time to grow, it was rarely possible to turn the tables.

That Du Ge could seize power and become the Human Emperor as a child was a testament to his ability, one they couldn't match.

But his good fortune ended here.

Their negotiations in the hall were entirely seen by the Eastern Emperor through Will-o'-the-Wisp, as if it were a live broadcast.

To the Eastern Emperor, Du Ge had no secrets, and like a chick, he was easily captured by the Emperor. What could he use to fight against the Emperor?

A month of growth time was too short.

Even if Pan-Universal Entertainment blocked the rankings, Du Ge was already exposed!

"Greetings, Emperor."

The Western Emperor, trembling with fear, saluted the Eastern Emperor, carefully recalling that he hadn't said anything wrong earlier, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Greetings, Emperor."

Lin Xiaotian was on high alert, performing a disciple's salute. As a small demon king, he couldn't possibly be a match for the Eastern Emperor. At this moment, he could only submit, hoping the Eastern Emperor would let him go for the Demon Emperor's sake!

...

"Human Emperor Qingcheng greets the Emperor."

Since the list was announced, Du Ge had anticipated this situation.

After the awakening of Literary Heart and Martial Courage, certain aspects of the Human Emperor had already taken effect. With the convergence of the dragon vein and human race fortune, Du Ge's perception merged with the heavens and earth.

In fact, he knew when the Eastern Emperor appeared over the capital, otherwise, he wouldn't have brought up the Eastern Emperor out of nowhere.

After checking that his divine power could still operate, Du Ge unhurriedly saluted the Eastern Emperor, boldly bearing the identity of the Human Emperor, as if unaware that his identity as an alien star warrior had been leaked.

He had divine power and a divine body, but his realm was too low, while the Eastern Emperor was a Great Golden Immortal, almost the pinnacle of combat power in this world.

The gap between them was too vast. He couldn't be a match for the Eastern Emperor, nor did he intend to fight. The dragon vein wasn't omnipotent.

After all, the Eastern Emperor hadn't immediately taken his life upon arrival, so he still had a chance. His bargaining chips were at least better than the small fries behind the Eastern Emperor.

"Human Emperor, you may rise." The Eastern Emperor ignored the Western Emperor and Lin Xiaotian, scrutinizing Du Ge, he said calmly, "Connected with the human race's fortune, protected by the dragon vein, with some merit power within you, you've indeed secured quite a bit for yourself."

A show of authority?

But you haven't seen my divine power!

Du Ge smiled calmly, "Emperor, the Human Emperor is born of heaven and earth, and the mortal fortune naturally converges on me. The merit power will only increase."

The Eastern Emperor shook his head with a smile, waving his hand again, and the scene before Du Ge changed. They were now in a vast white space, with all perception blocked.

Du Ge was amazed, the world changing with a wave of a hand, this was truly a celestial power!

The level difference was too high. Without divine power, this alien star battlefield couldn't be played...

"Du Ge, I already know your background. Let's not beat around the bush. There's no need for you to pretend to be the Human Emperor here." The Eastern Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Du Ge, he said, "Tell me, what is your keyword?"

"Brutal," Du Ge replied.

"Brutal?" The Eastern Emperor was taken aback.

"I killed the people of Longliu Manor to refresh the keyword," Du Ge smiled.

"But your subsequent words and actions have nothing to do with brutality." The Eastern Emperor shook his head, "Du Ge, I know all your past on the alien star battlefield. There's no point in hiding it from me. Tell me, and I can help you escape the control of Pan-Universal Entertainment."

This was the first native who offered to help him escape Pan-Universal Entertainment...

Interesting!

Du Ge looked at the Eastern Emperor, shaking his head with a smile, "Emperor, why are you so sure that I am still Du Ge?"

The Eastern Emperor stood there quietly, gesturing for him to continue.

Du Ge intertwined his divine power, demonstrating the changes in Dao resonance on him, explaining as he did, "Can a mere alien star warrior truly master Dao resonance so skillfully in a month and create the Human Emperor's inheritance out of thin air?"

The Eastern Emperor smiled, "Rumor has it that Du Ge is discerning. Seeing you today, the reputation is well-deserved."

"Eastern Emperor, do you truly believe what those alien star warriors say?" Du Ge shook his head, looking at the Eastern Emperor with pity, "The keywords of alien star warriors involve the laws of the Great Dao. Each keyword is a law.

Dao resonance is also a law. I just demonstrated at least four kinds of Dao resonance to you. Do you think a single keyword can display these?

Each keyword corresponds to a law. They can freely manipulate the laws and inject them into these so-called alien star warriors, allowing them to grasp the power of the laws in a short time.

There are thousands of keywords, which means thousands of laws. Comprehending one law makes one a quasi-saint, comprehending ten laws makes one a saint. Now, you haven't comprehended even one law. What do you have to fight against Pan-Universal Entertainment? Who gave you the confidence?"

The Eastern Emperor's calm expression gradually disappeared. He looked at Du Ge and asked, "You are not Du Ge, who are you really?"
