World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 564: Keep it up, strive to become a saint

"Greetings to the Human Emperor, the Infinite Life Buddha, and fellow Daoist Donghua," Bai Da began, establishing the identities of the three.

She was the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, her human form a beautiful woman in her twenties.

Due to her long-standing position of power, her every gesture exuded an air of authority, devoid of any seductive fox-like demeanor.

"Greetings to the Lord of Qingqiu," Du Ge and his companions returned the courtesy.

"Please, Lord, take a seat," Emperor Changsheng said.

At this moment.

He had changed his attire, donning monk robes. As he moved, he exuded a dignified aura, with a faint halo of Buddha light appearing behind his head. This was the natural manifestation of Emperor Changsheng's comprehension of the Dao resonance of light, combined with his cultivation technique.

The effect of the Heavenly Mandate was astonishing.

In recent days, Emperor Changsheng's disciples had been spreading the teachings outside, responding to almost every request, causing the public's faith in Buddhism to soar, indirectly boosting the Emperor's cultivation level.

The series of changes that had occurred in him had long made Emperor Changsheng a loyal follower of Du Ge, firmly believing that once he fulfilled his grand vow, he could truly become a Buddha on the spot.

Everyone took their seats.

Du Ge's gaze passed over Bai Da, landing on a young girl behind her.

She appeared to be fifteen or sixteen, her eyes lively, already possessing the cultivation level of an Elemental Infant. Ever since she ascended Mount Sumeru, her gaze had never left Du Ge.

She was likely a devotee of Qingqiu, the Alien Star warrior Ye Wan.

Among the top ten, Emperor Changsheng had captured an Alien Star warrior named Fu Qiao.

His keyword was "nagging," and he had awakened a skill called "mental disturbance." As long as he spoke, his voice would penetrate the mind, disrupting even the calmest state of mind.

In Fu Qiao's presence, no one could meditate or sleep, ostensibly a disturbance skill, but in essence, a powerful taunt skill.

If not for Emperor Changsheng keeping him for a purpose, he would have been killed by the disciples of Mount Sumeru after awakening his skill.

When Du Ge arrived at Mount Sumeru and took control, Fu Qiao immediately surrendered upon seeing him.

He was now stationed at Mount Sumeru, helping the disciples cultivate their mental state, while also beginning his own cultivation, with plans to train him into a super noise warrior.

Every Alien Star warrior was a treasure; no matter how seemingly useless a skill, in the right place, it could become a strategic weapon.

Having tested Pan-Universal Entertainment's tolerance for him, Du Ge, with all his cards on the table, no longer cared about the rules set by Pan-Universal Entertainment.

"Lord Bai, is that Ye Wan beside you?" Du Ge asked with a smile.

"Indeed," Bai Da replied with a smile. "Wan'er, you are of the same clan, go greet the Human Emperor."

"Ye Wan, Alien Star warrior from Valley God Planet, greets the Human Emperor," Ye Wan stepped forward confidently, slightly bowing to Du Ge, and clarifying her identity and origin, "Ye Wan sends regards on behalf of Dan Cong and Wu Chang."

Dan Cong and Wu Chang were comrades who had fought alongside Du Ge on previous Alien Star Battlefields. Ye Wan's mention of them was a clear gesture of goodwill.

Despite such a challenging start, Du Ge had single-handedly achieved such a feat, enough to deter any Alien Star warrior from opposing him.

Even if their mental power was forcibly elevated, they were not on the same level as Du Ge. Unless he truly fell from grace in his battles with the natives, opposing him would be sheer folly.

"Ye Wan, what is your keyword?" Du Ge asked.

"To answer, Senior, my keyword is 'persuadable,'" Ye Wan replied with a slight smile. "A month ago, I was saved by Lord Bai and fortunately awakened a skill in Qingqiu called 'gathering opinions.' Any suggestion I adopt and strive to implement will ultimately achieve its goal."

"Will definitely?" Du Ge asked in surprise.

Emperor Changsheng and the others also turned their attention, as anything guaranteed to succeed sounded somewhat terrifying.

"It only says it will definitely succeed, not that it will happen immediately," Ye Wan replied with an awkward smile. "Lord Bai suggested I become an Elemental Infant. I cultivated, apprenticed, and took pills, and it still took over a month to achieve."

"Over a month is already beyond many genius cultivators," Eastern Emperor Donghua remarked.

"Without Lord Bai's Purple Spirit Pill, it would have taken me at least two to three years on my own," Ye Wan said.

"I wanted to verify if she could fail at forming an Elemental Infant," Bai Da said with a smile. "So, I gave her the pill, and after taking it, she succeeded in forming the Elemental Infant in one go."

"Did anyone make things difficult for you during your apprenticeship?" Du Ge asked.

"Yes," Ye Wan nodded, "but I managed to change my master's mind with sincerity and perseverance, successfully becoming her disciple."

"What if you die while achieving your goal?" Du Ge asked again.

"Senior Du, I haven't tried, but if I die, everything should end, right?" Ye Wan replied with a smile. "After all, if I lose my physical form, the task and goal naturally cease to exist. Don't all the keywords' effects disappear after warriors die on the Alien Star Battlefield?"

Is that so?

Du Ge looked at her, smiled, and stopped probing her skill's effects. Instead, he turned to Bai Da and asked, "Lord Bai, did you bring her here with a suggestion in mind?"

"The Human Emperor is indeed perceptive," Bai Da smiled. "I have tried various methods to verify Ye Wan's supernatural power, or skill. Her skill is not as useless as she claims.

Once someone sets a goal for her, an invisible causal line connects her to the outcome. She may face hardships, but various factors will help her overcome difficulties.

Gathering opinions can already be considered a supernatural power of causality. Perhaps only a sage can sever this layer of causality."

Eastern Emperor Donghua recalled Du Ge's words that each keyword represented a law. Looking at Ye Wan, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy for these Alien Star warriors chosen by Pan-Universal Entertainment.

How difficult it is to master a rule.

These ordinary people, chosen and granted a rule by Pan-Universal Entertainment, are indeed a group of lucky ones!

However.

These ordinary people, bestowed with rules by Pan-Universal Entertainment, will have the rules taken back after the game ends.

Ultimately, they are like children wielding sharp axes, possessing powerful tools but unable to use them.

Thinking of this, Eastern Emperor Donghua felt much more at ease. What others give is ultimately external; only the rules one masters cannot be taken away...

Bai Da looked at everyone and continued, "Before coming, I persuaded Ye Wan to use her hand to achieve the alliance of our three races."

Emperor Changsheng looked at Bai Da and asked, "Lord, is this the Demon Emperor's intention or yours?"

"The Demon Emperor is in seclusion, indifferent to worldly affairs," Bai Da replied. "This decision was made collectively by the demon kings after discussion. The human race seeks revival, Buddhism wants to break away from the celestial realm, and the demon race wishes to restore its former glory. With the celestial court's might, only by uniting our three factions can we stand against the celestial realm."

"Lord Bai is indeed straightforward," Du Ge smiled. "Even if you hadn't come, I would have gone to Qingqiu with the Infinite Life Buddha. I agree to the alliance."

Bai Da turned to Emperor Changsheng.

Emperor Changsheng smiled indifferently and said, "The Human Emperor has enlightened Buddhism; his words are my words."

"In that case, our three factions shall form a mutual defense alliance," Bai Da declared.

"Naturally," Du Ge and Emperor Changsheng nodded simultaneously.

Eastern Emperor Donghua felt increasingly desolate. Weakness is the original sin. Though he was an emperor ruling a region, he found himself excluded without realizing it.

Among the three factions, the demon race held the greatest power. Reaching a cooperation was within Bai Da's expectations. She smiled and looked at Du Ge, asking, "Human Emperor, there are rumors everywhere about establishing a religion to become a sage. Bai Da has been stuck at the Heavenly Fox realm for a million years. Could the Human Emperor offer some guidance? If you help me break through my current realm, Qingqiu will surely reward you generously."

"Lord Bai, you're too kind," Du Ge smiled. "I came to seize the keywords of Pan-Universal Entertainment, needing to deal with their Daoists. Therefore, I spread the Dao widely in this world. Only by becoming an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao can one qualify to fight alongside me. The more sages there are, the higher the chance of merging with the Dao."

"Please guide me, Human Emperor," Bai Da requested.

"Lord Bai, forgive my bluntness. With the Demon Emperor, it's already impossible for you to establish a religion and become a sage. Achieving sainthood through merit is too slow, and you're not a warrior, so proving the Dao through strength is also not feasible," Du Ge said, looking at Bai Da. "I think, perhaps, you can only walk the path of becoming a sage through the law, like Eastern Emperor Donghua."

"Becoming a sage through the law?" Bai Da was taken aback.

Eastern Emperor Donghua breathed a sigh of relief. It's fortunate that it's becoming a sage through the law; if everyone were like Emperor Changsheng, how could he continue to live?

"The Three Thousand Great Dao, each can lead to sainthood, refers to the path of the law," Du Ge smiled, revealing his Dao resonance. "Fellow Daoist Bai, you can choose a Dao resonance that resonates with you to comprehend. If you understand one, you can ascend to a quasi-sage."

"Only a quasi-sage?" Bai Da frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

"Lord, one must eat one bite at a time, walk one step at a time. Becoming a quasi-sage, is sainthood far behind? Even the Demon Emperor is only a quasi-sage. The Lord's ambition is not small!" Du Ge laughed.

Bai Da smiled slightly, not responding.

In front of her, Du Ge stripped away layers of Dao resonance, leaving only those that were incomplete. "Lord Bai, the Dao resonance you saw before was my complete Dao resonance. These broken Dao resonances were reverse-engineered from the techniques collected by the two emperors.

If the Lord is willing to let me study the cultivation methods of Qingqiu, perhaps I can reverse-engineer the Dao resonance most suitable for you to comprehend, helping you break through the Heavenly Fox form and attain sainthood."

"Agreed," Bai Da readily agreed. Like Emperor Changsheng, they were eager to break through their current realm, considering techniques secondary.

"Later, I will accompany the Lord to Qingqiu," Du Ge nodded, smiling. "The celestial emperor will not tolerate the revival of the human race and the establishment of Buddhism. It's likely that he will soon send troops to attack. I will go to Qingqiu to demonstrate the Dao resonance to the demon kings, helping them improve their combat power. Perhaps in the future, the demon race will have a few more sages."

Everyone was stunned. This was truly selfless, teaching without discrimination!

Indeed worthy of being the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.

Bai Da hesitated for a moment before standing up and bowing to Du Ge, saying, "The Human Emperor is noble."

Watching Du Ge converse with emperors and demon kings, even taking the lead, Ye Wan was filled with emotion. Like Ning Xianping and others, she was unsure if Du Ge was still an Alien Star warrior!

"Ye Wan, I think if you try hard enough, you also have a chance to become a sage and fight against Pan-Universal Entertainment with me," Du Ge suddenly turned to Ye Wan and said.

With these words.

Everyone's expression changed.

Especially Bai Da, who, knowing Ye Wan's skill, had been protecting her but avoiding strengthening her through this method. After all, Alien Star warriors were ultimately outsiders. If they grew beyond control, who knew what trouble they might cause?

Unexpectedly, despite her precautions, Du Ge had propelled Ye Wan to the heavens with a single suggestion.

The embodiment of the Heavenly Dao was indeed inclusive and accommodating. Perhaps, in his heart, she and those demons were of the same kind!

A sage?

Ye Wan was initially shocked, then delighted. Rumor had it that Du Ge was generous, but she hadn't expected him to be so generous, giving her such a suggestion despite knowing her skill.

A sage was the highest existence in this world. Becoming a sage would make subduing other Alien Star warriors a breeze!

Wait, in this suggestion, he also mentioned opposing Pan-Universal Entertainment, implying that becoming a sage required being their enemy?

The terror of Pan-Universal Entertainment was deeply ingrained in every Alien Star warrior's soul. Ye Wan's smile froze, unsure whether to accept Du Ge's suggestion.

"Ye Wan, believe in yourself. Do you always want to be controlled by Pan-Universal Entertainment?" Du Ge encouraged with a smile. "I've been waving the flag of resistance against Pan-Universal Entertainment for several Alien Star Battlefields, and nothing has happened to me. This time, I even revealed my identity as the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, yet they still haven't stopped this Alien Star Battlefield. If I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"You're the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. If you die, they can just make another embodiment, so naturally, you're not afraid," Ye Wan retorted without thinking.

After saying this, she paused, realizing her perception of Du Ge's identity was becoming increasingly blurred. Recalling Du Ge's previous performances on the Alien Star Battlefield, she suddenly became certain that Du Ge was indeed the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.

Believed it!

A faint smile appeared on Du Ge's lips. If even the Alien Star warriors believed it, how could he not deceive the natives? How could his Dao not succeed?

He shook his head and said, "Since you're convinced I'm the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, why not take a chance? If I succeed, your entire planet will be liberated."

"..." Ye Wan was stunned.

"You know Wu Chang, so you should know what I told him," Du Ge smiled. "You need to understand what the audience of Pan-Universal Entertainment likes to see. Only then can your value increase. Do you think the audience prefers to see you as my lapdog or as a sage stirring up the world?"

Ye Wan fell silent. After a moment, she looked up and said, "Alright, I'll follow your suggestion."

"Good luck!" Du Ge clenched his fist. "I look forward to the day you become a sage. A sage transcends the three realms and is not within the five elements. Perhaps by then, without my help, you can escape Pan-Universal Entertainment's control!"

"Yes, I will work hard," Ye Wan nodded seriously, as if her fighting spirit had been reignited.

Du Ge smiled, "Alright, you go out and think about how to become a sage. I need to discuss some matters with the two emperors and the Lord."

Ye Wan acknowledged and turned to leave.

With a wave of his hand, Du Ge used the Sun God power to shield external perception.

"Human Emperor, what do you mean by this?" Bai Da couldn't help but ask. "Why set a goal of sainthood for Ye Wan?"

"Lord Bai, you inspired me," Du Ge smiled, looking at Bai Da. "Comprehending one law makes one a quasi-sage, comprehending ten laws makes one a sage. Even if I show you the Dao resonance, who knows how long it will take to comprehend it? We can't wait. But don't Alien Star warriors already have ready-made Dao resonance?"

Everyone was stunned.

Eastern Emperor Donghua's eyes lit up, excitedly asking, "Senior, are you saying?"

"Perhaps we can find a way to strip the Dao resonance from Alien Star warriors for our use," Du Ge looked around at the three, nodding seriously. "Each keyword can derive different supernatural powers and skills based on a person's actions.

But Pan-Universal Entertainment only allows Alien Star warriors to awaken two skills. If we can replicate the innate Dao resonance of Alien Star warriors, with your wisdom, perhaps you can break through Pan-Universal Entertainment's limitations and truly grasp the Dao resonance represented by the keywords."
