World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others -
Chapter 565: Achieving multiple gains with one action
"Senior," Emperor Changsheng asked, "I have observed Fu Qiao, and there is no Dao resonance visible on him."
"That's because their cultivation isn't sufficient," Du Ge replied. "Raise their cultivation level, and I have ways to reveal their Dao resonance."
Time.
Du Ge needed a lot of time to strengthen his identity through the Heavenly Mandate and consolidate his cultivation.
So he had to find a way to make the remaining Alien Star warriors shine on the battlefield.
Relying on himself alone, his appeal was ultimately limited.
Once the audience of Pan-Universal Entertainment grew tired, or if they discovered his second keyword, or realized he posed a threat to them...
Too many unexpected events could prematurely end this Alien Star Battlefield.
Only by providing new attractions for Pan-Universal Entertainment could this Alien Star Battlefield be extended indefinitely.
This was also a way for him to secure more benefits for the warriors on the Alien Star Battlefield.Du Ge's trump cards were almost all exposed, and his mental power, numbering in the billions, couldn't be hidden. Who knew what situations he might encounter once he left the Alien Star Battlefield?
Of course, he had to take advantage of the hard-earned Heavenly Mandate skill to reap benefits and add some new trump cards for himself.
As for the backlash from the Alien Star warriors, Du Ge didn't consider it at all. How could he escape the control of Pan-Universal Entertainment without taking any risks?
Moreover, if the Alien Star warriors didn't grow, how could he gather more natives around him?
Besides, the warriors of Qi Yuan Star were ultimately his own people, right?
So.
Supporting the Alien Star warriors was essentially helping himself.
...
Du Ge set a goal for Ye Wan to become a saint, also to test the limits of his skills.
Once Ye Wan became a saint, it would mean the Heavenly Mandate could push him to become a true incarnation of the Heavenly Dao...
The so-called replication of keyword Dao resonance was also a plan Du Ge had to escape Pan-Universal Entertainment.
The Dao resonance within him was all brought by divine power.
But so far, Du Ge had tried everything and still couldn't make the two keywords within him show Dao resonance.
Du Ge suspected that the lack of Dao resonance display for the keywords was likely due to restrictions set by Pan-Universal Entertainment.
Just like how they could precisely control their souls across multiple universes and record and transmit their surroundings through their perspectives.
This was a form of super encryption technology.
If he could break the restrictions of Pan-Universal Entertainment, he might be able to free himself from their control.
Even if he couldn't, by depicting the Dao resonance of Pan-Universal Entertainment's keywords through the Heavenly Mandate and brushing up a few keyword skills, he would still profit...
A win-win situation!
No matter which task succeeded, he would be the winner.
...
"It can be tried."
Emperor Changsheng and the others nodded in agreement with the proposal, and at this moment, they all held a mysterious trust in Du Ge.
"Infinite Life Buddha, Bai Sovereign," Du Ge looked at the two and continued, "This matter should be widely spread. Otherwise, if the Alien Star warriors are captured, we won't be able to replicate the laws from them."
"Senior's words are reasonable," Emperor Changsheng said with a smile. "I will send people to other continents to spread this matter."
"I will also inform the demon race in various places to pay attention to the Alien Star warriors and cultivate them," Bai Da said.
"In that case, why not also spread the word about the Human Emperor's legacy and the establishment of teachings?" Du Ge never forgot to pursue maximum benefits. "The Human Emperor's legacy and the establishment of teachings by the Buddha will eventually be targeted by the celestial court. By spreading it in advance, we can stir up the mortal world and divert the celestial court's attention, laying the foundation for our future teachings."
"Good," Emperor Changsheng said with his hands clasped together in praise.
"Agreed," Bai Da nodded. What the celestial court cared about, she supported. She wished for nothing more than chaos in the mortal world!
...
After discussing the matters of the tripartite cooperation, Du Ge stood up and smiled at Bai Da, saying, "Let's go, Sovereign, we shall head to Qingqiu to spread the teachings to the demon race. The path to sainthood is not singular, and none should be abandoned."
"Please," Bai Da rose and said.
"Senior, I will accompany you," Eastern Emperor also stood up eagerly. Seeing the people around him grow stronger, he couldn't wait to find his own path.
"Let's go together," Du Ge said with a smile.
After all, Eastern Emperor was a Great Golden Immortal. Having a Great Golden Immortal bodyguard was a source of confidence wherever he went.
Emperor Changsheng also wanted to follow Du Ge, but with the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss just beginning its construction, he couldn't leave Mount Sumeru. In the end, he could only watch with envy as Du Ge and the others departed.
...
Du Ge was actually overthinking.
In Qingqiu, he didn't need any bodyguards at all.
Whether it was his identity as the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao or the Human Emperor, both were treasures to the demon race here.
Every demon hoped he would grow strong and become a formidable opponent to the celestial court, an ally to the demon race.
One could say the demons feared something happening to Du Ge even more than humans did!
The territory of Qingqiu was vast, with abundant spiritual power, comparable to Emperor Changsheng's Mount Sumeru.
Countless demons lived here, some in human form, some not, with all kinds of appearances, strange and varied.
The demons established cities here, trading, living, and cultivating, much like the human world.
Unlike humans, even the smallest demons who hadn't taken human form possessed the combat power of a Qi Refiner, with vast numbers and formidable individual strength, which was their confidence in surviving two great calamities.
...
The capital of Qingqiu was simply called Qingqiu, and most of the inhabitants were fox demons.
Because Qingqiu had sheltered other demon races, the fox demons naturally held a higher status than other demon races here.
Under Bai Da, Qingqiu had seven great demon kings.
Two were at the Great Luo level, and the rest were at the Golden Immortal level.
They were the bear, wolf, roc, elephant, lion, leopard, and flood dragon tribes, known for their strong combat power and having suffered the most during the celestial-demon wars.
The powerful combat forces within these tribes were nearly wiped out, and even after a million years of recuperation, they hadn't fully recovered.
The demon kings warmly welcomed Du Ge's arrival.
Especially when they heard Du Ge came to Qingqiu to demonstrate Dao resonance and give them a chance to become saints, they were even more grateful.
Dao resonance was a rare opportunity, and Du Ge bringing it to them was essentially gifting the demon race's future.
To express their gratitude, the demon kings offered their cultivation techniques and treasured spiritual treasures and pills to Du Ge without charge.
Du Ge accepted everything, as his divine body had an extremely high capacity for integration.
The cultivation methods of this world were all derived from Dao resonance, returning to simplicity, with the same results.
Among the demon race, Du Ge never withheld his multiple Dao resonances.
He even thoughtfully displayed different Dao resonances separately, not caring which ones the demon kings studied.
His generosity was akin to showing everyone a mountain of gold and allowing them to take as they pleased.
This act won the approval of all the demons.
For a time.
Du Ge's reputation in Qingqiu soared to the sky, comparable to the Demon Emperor.
Du Ge wasn't worried that any demon comprehending Dao resonance would surpass him in the use of divine power.
Outsiders were merely comprehending Dao resonance, while he was the true owner of it.
Moreover, the same Dao resonance would yield different results for different people.
Otherwise.
There wouldn't have been the incident where the golden generation of Dragon and Tiger Mountain created five different cultivation techniques from observing the same Dao resonance.
Therefore, the user of Dao resonance could never surpass its owner.
Du Ge did everything he could to align himself with the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.
...
Unlike humans, demons came in various forms, with each type belonging to different races.
Thus, the cultivation techniques suitable for them varied, and in Qingqiu, Du Ge's gains far exceeded the collections of the two emperors.
By assimilating all the cultivation techniques of the Qingqiu demon race, the incomplete Dao resonances within Du Ge became more complete, and his speed of absorbing spiritual power during cultivation became increasingly rapid.
Whenever he began circulating energy in a full circle, the spiritual power within a radius of dozens of miles would be completely absorbed by him, making it impossible for others around him to cultivate.
Such a terrifying cultivation speed further confirmed his identity as the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao among the demon race.
Moreover, no demon resented him for it.
Not to mention that Du Ge's ultimate target was Pan-Universal Entertainment, even if it wasn't, he would still be the only one to achieve unity with the Dao.
Everyone was clear about this outcome.
What was there to compete for with the future Heavenly Dao?
Like Eastern Emperor's thoughts, they were content to become saints under the protection of the Heavenly Dao.
...
Ye Wan accepted the suggestion to become a saint, and Bai Da lifted the restrictions on her.
As Bai Da's disciple, she set up a large suggestion board in Qingqiu with the words "What kind of person do you most hope I become?" creating a primitive version of a forum.
She then sought the opinions of all the demon races and selected tasks that were relatively easy to accomplish, striving to complete them and providing feedback to everyone, emphasizing a willingness to listen.
Qingqiu lacked neither cultivation techniques nor pills, but the attribute enhancement brought by keywords was the foundation of cultivation, and she had to first increase her attributes to have a hope of becoming a saint.
Moreover.
Ye Wan also wanted to quickly unlock a second skill.
Although her first skill, "Gathering Public Opinion," was called a causality skill by Bai Da, she found it too slow and urgently needed a faster skill.
Especially after witnessing Du Ge's cultivation speed, her desire became even more urgent.
In reality.
Almost everyone who came into contact with Du Ge would be swept up in his momentum and driven to accelerate their own pace.
...
Du Ge had been in seclusion in Qingqiu for only a few days when Emperor Changsheng suddenly sent someone to inform him of the events occurring in the Eastern Divine Continent.
Upon hearing that True Lord Xianyou was leading an army to the Southern Zen Continent to attack Emperor Changsheng, the demon kings were filled with excitement.
"Good, if they dare to come, let them have no return," Black Bear King said with a fierce glint in his eyes. "My spear has been itching for a long time."
"To hell with it, let's reignite the celestial-demon war," White Wolf King said. "This time, we'll fight back to the celestial realm and reclaim our territory from the Celestial Emperor."
Bai Da's gaze swept over the demons, and the noisy voices gradually quieted down, with everyone focusing on the contemplative Du Ge.
"Senior, what do you think? Should we fight?" Bai Da asked. "If we go to war with the celestial court, the demon race will fully support it."
Everything was within Du Ge's expectations.
He had been seizing every opportunity to enhance his strength and seek allies precisely to confront the celestial court.
Du Ge smiled, "Of course, we should fight. Without tribulations, there can be no sainthood. The growth of saints consumes too much spiritual power, and the mortal world cannot support it. We must capture the celestial realm to create a situation where all saints compete for the Dao."
"Good, then let's fight," Bai Da said with a smile, instructing, "Demon kings, return to your tribes and gather demon soldiers to prepare for war with the celestial court."
"Yes," the demon kings responded.
"Senior, how do we rescue my disciples who were taken to the celestial court by True Lord Xianyou?" Eastern Emperor asked anxiously.
A bond of a million years couldn't be easily severed.
Moreover, those disciples were the foundation of his power, and abandoning them would leave him truly isolated.
"Naturally, we will rescue them. The Human Emperor's legacy emphasizes unity and not abandoning any follower, so that everyone's strength can be gathered together," Du Ge said with a smile. "Eastern Daoist, don't worry. A day in the heavens is a hundred days on earth. They won't be harmed for a while.
Moreover, the celestial court's mobilization isn't swift. By the time they're ready, we might already have the strength to attack the celestial court."
"Let's hope so," Eastern Emperor said, nodding with a sense of loss.
"Sovereign, discuss with Infinite Life Buddha how to deal with the celestial court's army," Du Ge said to Bai Da. "I will return to the Eastern Divine Continent with Eastern Daoist. It's the foundation of the Human Emperor's legacy and must not be compromised. I'll be back for the battle."
"Senior, go ahead," Bai Da said confidently with a smile. "The demon race has fought the celestial court for thousands of years without losing ground. Even without you, if True Lord Xianyou dares to come, he'll have no return."
"Then I am reassured," Du Ge said with a smile, nodding. He turned to Eastern Emperor, "Let's go, Eastern Daoist, back to the Eastern Divine Continent with me."
After enhancing his cultivation twice in Mount Sumeru and Qingqiu, Du Ge's mental power surpassed four billion.
His perception range extended for thousands of miles, and his mastery of divine power became increasingly proficient.
Having never engaged in real combat, Du Ge wasn't sure of his exact cultivation level.
But his speed had more than doubled, and in an instant, he brought Eastern Emperor from Qingqiu back to Mount Sumeru.
...
Mount Sumeru.
Emperor Changsheng was very calm about the celestial court's expedition, as it was within everyone's expectations.
He was a Great Golden Immortal skilled in combat, with numerous capable soldiers under his command, and had allied with the demon race, making him unafraid of the celestial court.
As long as they withstood the initial battles, the foundation of Buddhism would be established.
Otherwise, believers in Buddhism would remain anxious.
...
After the Southern Zen Continent lifted restrictions on Alien Star warriors, Mount Sumeru gained three more Alien Star warriors.
They voluntarily sought refuge with Eastern Emperor, taking a path of seeking fortune amidst danger.
Du Ge's influence was widespread, and now the warriors on the Alien Star Battlefield all bore some of his traits.
A warrior from Sirius named Lou Yuxian had the keyword "True Feelings," without an awakened skill but had awakened the Literary Heart;
A warrior from Blue Star named Wang Weichun had the keyword "Limit," with an awakened skill called "Three Agreements," where any agreement made with him could not be violated by either party, and any breach would result in punishment by the enforcing party;
Another warrior from Qi Yuan Star named Qi Wei had the keyword "Healing," with an awakened skill called "Like a Spring Breeze," which cleared all negative states when activated;
...
The world's situation was altered by Du Ge.
Previously hidden Alien Star warriors, pressured by the elimination system, emerged one after another, seeking opportunities for growth.
But at this stage, they were too far from Du Ge's level, and even if they followed him, they couldn't be of much help.
So Du Ge simply let them grow wildly, not even meeting them, including the Alien Star warrior from Qi Yuan Star.
After gathering the dragon vein representing the fortune of the human race, Du Ge had a feeling that mental negative states could no longer affect him.
This was a good thing for him, but it also made Du Ge cautious.
The skill "Relentless Destruction" was also a mental skill, and if he could use the human race's fortune to shield against similar mental skills.
Then, quasi-saints like the Celestial Emperor, Queen Mother, and Underworld Emperor should also be immune to such skills.
He couldn't rely on luck to influence everything with skills.
...
After informing Emperor Changsheng of his whereabouts.
Du Ge returned to the Eastern Divine Continent with Eastern Emperor, and after making a high-profile appearance, he captured the two Celestial Masters in the capital of New Moon without a word.
Just like when Eastern Emperor effortlessly whisked him away from the Golden Throne Hall,
In just over ten days, the two Heavenly Immortal Celestial Masters were as helpless as children in Du Ge's hands.
Du Ge's cultivation soared, and his understanding of various magic techniques became seamless.
The concealment array covering the capital was already ineffective against Du Ge.
If he wished, his perception could instantly penetrate the gaps in the array, or even directly dismantle it.
The two Celestial Masters had nowhere to hide.
Seeing Eastern Emperor and Du Ge dressed as the Human Emperor, Master Zhang and the others immediately understood what had happened.
Their faces turned as pale as paper, trembling as they saluted Du Ge, "Xu Wen'an (Zhang Qing) greets the Human Emperor and Eastern Emperor."
