World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 566: The Might of the Human Emperor

"Well done," Du Ge praised as he looked at the two Celestial Masters.

His sudden remark left the Eastern Emperor, Master Xu, and Master Zhang somewhat puzzled.

"I appreciate the hard work of the Celestial Masters in spreading the might of the Human Emperor for me!" Du Ge continued.

"May I ask, Human Emperor, what do you mean by this?" Master Xu asked with a trembling voice, sensing something ominous.

"The might of the Human Emperor relies solely on propaganda; how can it truly reach the hearts of the people?" Du Ge smiled at the two, saying, "Thank you both for giving me the opportunity to establish my authority."

The expressions of the two Celestial Masters changed dramatically, but before they could speak, Du Ge had already unleashed two streams of divine power, sealing their cultivation.

Then, using the power of light, he simulated two ropes, suspending them above the capital of New Moon.

At the same time, Du Ge summoned two dragon veins from within him.

A blue dragon and a red dragon coiled in the sky, their massive bodies spanning thousands of feet, almost covering half the sky.

Du Ge, dressed in a dragon robe, floated in the air, divine light emanating from behind him. When he spoke, his voice was like thunder, echoing for miles:

"Citizens, there are traitors from the celestial realm who took advantage of my and the Emperor's absence to cause chaos in the Eastern Divine Continent, attempting to shake the foundation of the human race. Today, the Emperor and I have returned, and under the celestial emperor, Master Zhang Qing and Master Xu Wen'an have surrendered without a fight, swearing allegiance to the human race. This is the protection of the human race's fortune..."

Buzz!

The minds of the two Celestial Masters went blank.

They never expected Du Ge to be so shameless, pulling them out to make an example without giving them a chance to speak.

The public didn't care about the gap between them and the Human Emperor.

The people only knew that these Celestial Masters dared to flaunt their power when the Human Emperor was away, but as soon as he returned, they surrendered in disgrace.

The more arrogant they were before, the more the celestial realm's face was lost now.

All the goodwill they had tried to show under Xu Jin Kui's persuasion was now in vain.

Wasn't Du Ge supposed to have cultivated for only a month?

Why was his power so terrifying?

Did he not care about the celestial emperor at all?

If they had known, they wouldn't have followed True Lord Xianyou's orders and should have returned to the celestial realm directly...

...

The capital of New Moon was in an uproar.

True Lord Xianyou had brought a group of immortals to New Moon with great fanfare, and even though Chi Muzhi and others tried their best to boost morale, the people were still anxious.

For so many years, the concept of the celestial realm had been deeply ingrained, like something etched into their bones, not something that could be erased with a few slogans or the awakening of a few Literary Hearts and Martial Courages.

Most of the public longed for stability rather than risking everything for the so-called revival of the human race, putting themselves and their families in constant danger.

Moreover, what the Human Emperor was doing was not just a mortal war but opposing the gods.

Now, as soon as the Human Emperor returned, the two Celestial Masters of the celestial court surrendered, greatly boosting everyone's confidence, making them feel that perhaps the celestial court wasn't as terrifying as they had imagined.

However, more people began to worry that the Human Emperor's actions would anger the celestial court, and the celestial emperor would punish the common people.

Whispers of concern were everywhere.

Compared to the noisy public, the yin deities and cultivators fell into a long silence, caught between the celestial court and the Human Emperor and Eastern Emperor, feeling trapped.

The cultivators from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, like Xu Jin Kui, didn't know what was happening in the sky. Seeing their ancestor hanging like a chicken, they sighed in disbelief, regretting their past decisions.

Du Ge was mighty, and they had gambled correctly!

Feng Xuan's eyes sparkled, silently applauding himself.

"The throne hangs high between heaven and earth, subduing dragons and tigers at will. The Human Emperor stands tall on the heavenly peak, divine might shining across the divine continent. We congratulate the Human Emperor on his victory and welcome his return," Yan Zian suddenly recited a poem.

In the sky, behind Du Ge, a proportionally enlarged phantom appeared, dressed in a golden robe, with dragons and tigers submitting, divine might spreading across the human world.

The moment the phantom appeared, all negative emotions vanished, and confidence soared.

...

As the poem praising the emperor was recited, purple literary energy descended from the sky, falling upon Yan Zian.

At the same time, Du Ge felt a jolt in his heart, sensing that the dragon vein representing the human race's fortune had grown slightly.

Damn!

A first-grade Literary Heart?

Du Ge looked at Yan Zian in surprise, his usually smooth thoughts interrupted, not expecting anyone to elevate their Literary Heart to first grade in such a short time.

The Eastern Emperor was equally shocked, witnessing for the first time a poem with such power, directly communicating with heaven and earth, its effect comparable to celestial arts.

The two Celestial Masters were dumbfounded.

"...The Human Emperor stands tall on the heavenly peak, divine might shining across the divine continent. We congratulate the Human Emperor on his victory and welcome his return."

The most excited were the scholars in the capital who had awakened their Literary Hearts, all reciting Yan Zian's verses in unison, sending waves of literary energy skyward, enhancing the grandeur of the Human Emperor's phantom in the sky.

Du Ge, adept at creating momentum, waved his hand, using divine power to lift all the scholars and civil and military officials into the air.

The officials knelt before him, performing a grand ceremony for the public in the sky.

The Eastern Emperor silently stepped aside, giving the main position to Du Ge, though he couldn't overshadow Du Ge now.

"Rise, all of you," Du Ge said.

Led by Chi Muzhi, the civil and military officials rose, standing on either side, their expressions unable to hide their excitement. They never imagined they would one day worship the Human Emperor in the sky.

This feeling was completely different from being in the Golden Throne Hall, giving them a sense of ethereal satisfaction and deepening their expectations for the future.

Such is the duty of a subject.

"Ministers and citizens," Du Ge's gaze swept over everyone from above, "Recently, I and the Eastern Emperor went to the Southern Zen Continent to spread the way of the Human Emperor's legacy, awakening the fortune of the human race, and with the protection of the human race's martyrs, we succeeded by chance. The red dragon vein is the fortune of the human race in the Southern Zen Continent.

The Southern Emperor Changsheng has accepted my proposal, establishing a sect in the Southern Zen Continent and breaking with the celestial court. Together with Bai Da, the ruler of the demon race's Qingqiu, we have formed an alliance, sharing both glory and disgrace."

"Long live the Human Emperor. The fortune of the human race is like a dragon."

Chi Muzhi, as the prime minister, understood the importance of cooperation and timely responded.

The officials echoed in agreement.

Du Ge gestured for silence, and the voices of the officials quieted.

"The celestial court took advantage of my absence to send True Lord Xianyou to invade our Eastern Divine Continent. This is intolerable," Du Ge's expression shifted, "Today, I declare war on behalf of the human race against the celestial court. Those who violate the dignity of the human race, no matter how far, will be punished. Those who obstruct the rise of the human race, no matter how strong, will be crushed. Anyone who harms a single human will be killed..."

Du Ge's voice was like thunder, spreading for miles.

Traveling merchants, farmers working in the fields, and children playing in the meadows all looked up to the sky...

"Citizens, our human race is still weak, but our foundation and spirit remain," Du Ge paused, "Today, the Xuanyuan clan swears here to lead the human race back to the top of the three realms.

By then, the human world will have favorable weather, all under the control of the human race, no longer subject to the celestial court's control.

I will break the heavenly gate, bringing celestial spiritual power to the human world, making the land fertile, ensuring every household has surplus grain, everyone has clothes to wear, every child can read and write, and every elderly and weak person has a place of refuge..."

The promises Du Ge made before were aimed at scholars and generals, leaving ordinary people untouched, and their beliefs could waver in the face of danger.

This time, he listened to the voices of the people and corrected his mistakes, spreading benefits to everyone.

Under the influence of Yan Zian's imperial poem, the people's confidence soared, and as they listened to his words, they couldn't help but imagine the beautiful life of human autonomy, each face showing a sweet, hopeful smile.

"The celestial court is powerful, and we may face various hardships, but the fighting spirit of the human race cannot be extinguished," Du Ge said after painting a grand vision, then activated the power of the Thunder God, surrounding himself with dozens of lightning bolts.

He transformed the lightning into a spear, holding it with one hand, pointing it at the sky, "I, Xuanyuan, in front of all human compatriots, swear here. In every battle, I will charge at the forefront.

After me, it will be the Literary Saint, the Martial Saint, the first-grade Literary Heart, the tenth realm of Martial Courage... the common people last. I hope that before the last Literary Heart falls in battle, not a single citizen will be harmed. Do you agree?"

"By the Human Emperor's command," Chi Muzhi raised his hands high, bowing to Du Ge.

"By the Human Emperor's command," others echoed.

"Where are the City Gods?" Du Ge asked.

"I am here."

Zong Bin sighed, flying into the sky, trembling as he knelt before Du Ge.

He recognized the lightning surrounding Du Ge as the infamous tribulation lightning, which was already a bane to yin deities, let alone tribulation lightning.

He didn't know why the Human Emperor had become so powerful after a brief journey, but it didn't stop him from being a fence-sitter, listening to whoever was in charge, whether it was the celestial court or the Human Emperor, he couldn't afford to offend either!

"Where is the leader of the Night Touring Ghosts?" Du Ge asked again.

"I am here," Meng Daonian and Huo Shu reluctantly flew into the sky.

"The three of you, through the mouths of various yin deities, spread what I declared today to all regions, ensuring that every citizen of the Eastern Divine Continent knows my intentions, my determination, and the future of the human race..."

Du Ge instructed, staring at the three yin deities.

"By the Human Emperor's command," Zong Bin and the others reluctantly accepted the order.

...

Capturing the Celestial Masters, displaying power, envisioning the future, commanding the yin deities...

With a grand performance, Du Ge instantly reversed the negative impact brought by True Lord Xianyou, regaining the people's hearts.

Then, the numerous yin deities, now turned into a propaganda force, mobilized again, rapidly spreading the glorious and positive image of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Du Ge didn't idle either, touring the Eastern Divine Continent with the Eastern Emperor, dragging the two Celestial Masters bound like dumplings.

He made the two Celestial Masters confess, simultaneously defaming the celestial court and praising the Human Emperor, helping Du Ge stabilize the chaos caused by True Lord Xianyou.

Master Xu and Master Zhang, powerless to resist, dared not even utter a word of defiance under the threat of tribulation lightning, obediently cooperating with Du Ge's performance, doing the most humiliating thing of their lives today.

...

"Thank you for your hard work, Celestial Masters."

Back in New Moon, Du Ge finally released the restrictions on Master Xu and Master Zhang, smiling, "From today on, you will stay in the human world and serve me!"

"Yes," Master Xu and Master Zhang exchanged a bitter glance and nodded, having been coerced into defaming the celestial court everywhere, they had lost all face and had no choice.

"Don't look so unwilling," Du Ge glanced at them, "In the celestial court, you were just holding idle positions, even your disciples were thinking of establishing their own sects. What future would you have after a few thousand years?"

"..." Xu Wen'an blushed.

"Serving me is different," Du Ge smiled, "I am the Human Emperor, representing destiny. Allied with the demon race, even if we don't overthrow the celestial court, causing havoc in the human world, there will be a place for you among the future saints of the human world."

"Yes," Xu Wen'an sighed, responding lifelessly.

"Feeling humiliated by me?" Du Ge saw through their thoughts, shaking his head, "If the celestial emperor punished you like this, would you dare harbor resentment?"

The two Celestial Masters were stunned.

"That's it, I am the Human Emperor, no different from the celestial emperor, yet you can't accept my punishment?" Du Ge snorted, "If so, remember today's humiliation, for one day, I will show you what the might of the Human Emperor means."

"We dare not," Xu Wen'an and the others said fearfully.

"Go, as surrendered ministers of the celestial court, cooperate with the cultivators in spreading the word," Du Ge said, "If you achieve merit, I will reward you."

"Yes," the two Celestial Masters exchanged a glance and respectfully withdrew.

...

After the two Celestial Masters left, Du Ge summoned Chi Muzhi and others, inquiring about recent events.

Some matters could be shown to the public, but many others couldn't be known to them.

Chi Muzhi and Xu Jin Kui recounted everything that had happened to Du Ge.

Du Ge nodded frequently, "Well done, Prime Minister, Jin Kui, the human race is still weak, and I need to go to other continents to gather the human race's fortune. Some matters still require your leadership!"

"I will not fail the Human Emperor's trust," Chi Muzhi hurriedly said.

"You've done well too," Du Ge praised Feng Xuan.

"Your Majesty, it's what I should do," Feng Xuan, unsure if the person before him was still Du Ge, smiled shyly, flattering, "It's Your Majesty who gave me the opportunity to grow, even if I give my life for Your Majesty, it's only right."

Du Ge smiled, "Then keep up the good work. In the Southern Zen Continent, I enlightened Ye Wan. Let me tell you, in this world, becoming a saint gives you a chance to break free from Pan-Universal Entertainment's control."

"..." Feng Xuan was stunned, asking tremblingly, "Du... Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try," Du Ge said, "Besides, do you really think becoming a saint is easy?"

It's not easy!

But it's better than having no hope at all!

Feng Xuan, lost in thought, forced a smile and fell silent.

Then.

Du Ge ignored Feng Xuan, turning his gaze to Yan Zian.

Before Du Ge could ask, Yan Zian stepped forward, revealing his identity, "Yan Zian, Alien Star warrior from Blue Star, greets the Human Emperor. My keyword is generosity..."
