World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 569: Two sides of the same coin

"What's so special about the Heavenly Demon or the Heavenly Dao?" A voice, tinged with amusement, suddenly rang out beside the two emperors.

"Who?"

The expressions of the two emperors changed abruptly.

Ziwei Emperor shifted his position.

In a moment of thought, Taiqing Emperor mobilized spiritual power to lock down the location where the voice had come from.

Then, Ziwei Emperor's eyes shone with divine light, and a sword appeared in his palm, striking towards the area confined by Taiqing Emperor.

Their reactions were swift, and their coordination was impeccable.

Everything happened in a flash.

Thud!

Du Ge revealed himself, with two dragon veins, one blue and one red, coiling around him. In his hand, he held an azure lotus flag.

The lotus flag emitted a faint glow, barely resisting Ziwei Emperor's three-foot imperial sword.

Du Ge's mental power was as high as eight hundred million, and with the support of the Human race's fortune, it was as if he possessed the Power of Faith.

Wherever there were humans, they couldn't escape his perception.

It was as if Du Ge had woven a web over the Eastern Divine Continent using the Human race's fortune and his perception, and he was the spider on the web.

Ziwei Emperor was like an insect caught in the web, thinking he was being stealthy, but the moment he hit the web, Du Ge had already detected him precisely.

Du Ge had just finished organizing the order of the Eastern Divine Continent and was contemplating further expansion when the prey delivered itself to his door. Naturally, he wouldn't miss this opportunity and borrowed the Azure Lotus Treasure Flag from Eastern Emperor Donghua.

By merging Dark God power with an innate spiritual treasure, Du Ge silently attached himself to Ziwei Emperor's shadow as he left, being carried all the way to the Western Ling Feng Continent.

"Human Emperor?"

The moment Ziwei Emperor saw Du Ge, his expression turned extremely grim.

He had been followed all the way from the Eastern Divine Continent to the Western Ling Feng Continent by the Human Emperor without realizing it. What if the Human Emperor decided to attack him?

Ziwei Emperor's heart skipped a beat, unable to imagine the terrifying consequences.

Taiqing Emperor looked at the smiling Du Ge, feeling equally bitter inside, but he composed himself and said, "For the esteemed Human Emperor to ascend Wanling Mountain in such a manner, it goes against the way of a ruler."

"You're joking, Emperor," Du Ge replied nonchalantly, glancing at him with a smile. "The two of you were speaking ill of me behind my back; isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Taiqing Emperor paused, his voice stern as he rebuked, "You masquerade as the Heavenly Demon, bringing chaos to the world. As an emperor who protects the mortal realm, am I not allowed to speak against you? Do you realize how many lives will be lost because of your actions, how much disaster you will bring upon this world? I must not only speak against you but also eliminate you, this demon..."

As he spoke, a pale green flag appeared in his hand, a counterpart to the Azure Lotus Treasure Flag, known as the Plain Cloud Realm Flag.

The five elemental flags counterbalance each other, and with Du Ge wielding the Azure Lotus Treasure Flag, ordinary magical treasures couldn't break through his defense.

As the flag unfurled, a mist filled the space around the three of them.

Ziwei Emperor looked at the ready-to-fight Taiqing Emperor, then at the childlike Human Emperor opposite him, and reluctantly summoned the Xuantian Water Control Flag he wielded.

He planned to join forces with Taiqing Emperor to capture the Human Emperor, as the notion of the Heavenly Demon had left a thorn in his heart.

With the Plain Cloud Realm Flag and the Xuantian Water Control Flag combined, Du Ge's Azure Lotus Treasure Flag was at a disadvantage, but he remained unperturbed. After all, he still had the Human race's fortune, three types of divine power, and even more powerful skills.

The Azure Lotus Treasure Flag controlled wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, impervious to all techniques. Even with the two emperors joining forces, they couldn't break through its defense in a short time.

Especially since Ziwei Emperor's treasure was the Xuantian Water Control Flag, which was naturally suppressed by Du Ge, the Sea God. Under his control, Ziwei Emperor couldn't even unleash a tenth of the flag's power.

While battling the two emperors with treasures, Du Ge leisurely employed his verbal skills: "Ziwei Emperor, a summer insect cannot discuss ice, and Taiqing Emperor isn't even a quasi-saint. You believe his analysis completely? Do you think Eastern Emperor Donghua, Emperor Changsheng, or even the demon king of the demon race are all fools? Are they all less wise than Taiqing Emperor?"

Ziwei Emperor was already struggling to control the Xuantian Water Control Flag, nearly splashing water on Taiqing Emperor's face several times. Only by exerting his powerful spiritual power did he avoid injuring his ally. Hearing Du Ge's words, he hesitated, his movements slowing by a fraction.

"Ziwei Daoist, don't you feel like you're being led astray?" Du Ge chuckled, continuing to sow discord with Ziwei Emperor. "I see that Taiqing Emperor's essence is damaged, and he will never reach the saint realm. He clings to the celestial court's coattails to live freely in this world..."

"Nonsense." Taiqing Emperor angrily interrupted Du Ge. "Ziwei Daoist, don't listen to his nonsense. My essence has never been damaged."

"Taiqing Emperor, why deceive yourself?" Du Ge shook his head. "Trapped in the Great Golden Immortal realm for a million years, now with the path to sainthood before you, you insist on presenting a Heavenly Demon theory, discouraging Ziwei Emperor from becoming a saint, inciting him against me. What are your intentions?"

"Naturally, it's because you bring calamity to the world." Taiqing Emperor retorted angrily. "Do you dare swear by your Dao heart that you have no connection to Pan-Universal Entertainment and that your path to sainthood is genuine? You're clearly a demon of chaos, ultimately dragging everyone into the abyss..."

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Du Ge smiled. "I, Du Ge, swear by my Dao heart to be an eternal enemy of Pan-Universal Entertainment. All my words about the path to sainthood are true, and everything I do is to save this world. If there's a single falsehood, may my Dao heart be destroyed, and may I never become a saint. Emperor, are you satisfied with that?"

An oath, after all.

Even in the cultivation world, where oaths could be tied to the Dao heart, Du Ge was fearless.

After all, everything he said was sincere, and with the Heavenly Mandate, he could turn all impossibilities into reality. In this world, there was nothing he couldn't achieve.

"..." Taiqing Emperor clearly saw Du Ge's oath intertwining with the Human race's fortune, then disappearing without any backlash.

He was momentarily dazed, and in that instant, he began to doubt his own judgment.

Ziwei Emperor also witnessed this scene, furrowing his brows and suddenly regretting his previous rashness.

"Ziwei Emperor, hindering someone from becoming a saint is like cutting off their foundation. Taiqing Emperor harbors ill intentions!" Du Ge cheerfully continued to provoke, "If I were you, I'd use the Xuantian Water Control Flag to give him a good hit, to vent my own resentment."

"..." Ziwei Emperor was taken aback.

"Ziwei Daoist, don't listen to his nonsense. If he truly were the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, how could he speak such venomous words?" Taiqing Emperor said, "The Heavenly Demon excels at beguiling hearts. He must have found a way to circumvent oaths and the Dao heart."

"Calling you foolish, and you really are foolish." Du Ge snorted. "You've been trapped in the Great Golden Immortal realm for a million years. If I hadn't appeared, you'd never have a chance to break through in this lifetime. Now that you finally have a chance to become a saint, does it matter to you whether it's the Heavenly Dao or the Heavenly Demon?"

Ziwei Emperor was shaken.

"Since ancient times, yin and yang have been born and merged together. The Heavenly Demon is the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Demon. If you can't even understand this, what Dao are you cultivating, what heart are you comprehending?"

Du Ge's face was full of disdain as he rebuked, "You keep saying Pan-Universal Entertainment wants to seize your world. Let me ask you, what does your world have? A half-baked saint like the Dao Ancestor? Or quasi-saints like the Celestial Emperor and the Queen Mother who don't even count as saints?"

"What you seek must be what you need." Taiqing Emperor, unwilling to admit defeat, argued.

"Pan-Universal Entertainment controls countless laws, even I, as the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, want to transcend the Heavenly Dao and the cycle of tribulation by leveraging the laws they control." Du Ge continued, "Compared to them, what are you?"

Taiqing Emperor was left speechless.

"The truth is laid bare before you. The world you hold dear is nothing more than an amusement park for Pan-Universal Entertainment." Du Ge snorted, "Living in an amusement park, not thinking of growth, not thinking of resistance, content to guard your little piece of land as a local emperor, how are you any different from the Alien Star warriors controlled by Pan-Universal Entertainment?"

"..." Taiqing Emperor was at a loss for words.

Thud!

Caught off guard, Ziwei Emperor's Xuantian Water Control Flag splashed Samadhi True Water all over Taiqing Emperor's face, then like tendrils, it drilled into his three orifices and five senses.

Caught unprepared, Taiqing Emperor let out a piercing scream. Even as a Great Golden Immortal, being directly hit by Samadhi True Water was unpleasant.

In places Ziwei Emperor couldn't see, the Samadhi True Water broke through Taiqing Emperor's protective spiritual power, relentlessly attacking his orifices.

This was the root of Taiqing Emperor's screams.

The seven-orifice touch was Du Ge's ultimate move. In this world, he aimed to enlighten the people as the Human Emperor and hadn't used this technique in a long time.

Taiqing Emperor's foul mouth and foolishness naturally made Du Ge want to have some fun at his expense, to wake him up a bit.

Of course, it was mainly because the second fierce skill hadn't been unlocked, and Du Ge was getting a bit anxious.

The things he stirred up in the mortal world were getting bigger and bigger.

The embodiment of the Heavenly Dao and the saintly body of the Human Emperor's legacy were still not unlocked, and his combat power was at most on par with a Great Golden Immortal. If he attracted quasi-saints like the Celestial Emperor or the Queen Mother, he feared he wouldn't be able to hold out.

Taiqing Emperor's misfortune was purely his own bad luck, running into Du Ge at the wrong time. If he had shown a bit more sincerity, Du Ge, being such a kind-hearted person, wouldn't have used such a ruthless technique on him.

"Ziwei Emperor, well done, keep it up, no matter what, vent your anger first. Only with a clear mind can your cultivation be unstoppable." While controlling the Samadhi True Water to attack Taiqing Emperor, Du Ge didn't forget to pin the blame on Ziwei Emperor.

Having played the good guy for so long, suddenly playing the villain felt surprisingly satisfying.

Testing his combat limits on two Great Golden Immortals wasn't bad either.

Ziwei Emperor was stunned, hastily explaining, "Taiqing Daoist, it wasn't me, I didn't do it."

Suddenly being framed, he began to believe Taiqing Emperor's words, thinking that the Human Emperor before him might indeed be a demon.

As he spoke, he exerted control over the Xuantian Water Control Flag, extracting the Samadhi True Water from Taiqing Emperor's body, rescuing him.

"Ziwei Emperor, one must be open and honest." Du Ge smiled, continuing, "During the battle just now, you were holding back, and Taiqing Emperor isn't blind. One must follow their heart. Defeat Taiqing Emperor, and we can still be good partners. I'll still teach you the path to sainthood."

Relentlessly corrupting others, stirring up evil thoughts in their hearts, was highly effective. Even a Great Golden Immortal couldn't resist.

Taiqing Emperor recalled the battle just now, looking suspiciously at Ziwei Emperor.

"Taiqing Daoist, the Xuantian Water Control Flag wasn't under my control just now." Ziwei Emperor frowned, explaining, "It was him, he was sowing discord between us. You're right, he's not the Heavenly Dao, he's a demon of chaos. We must join forces to capture him..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Samadhi True Water controlled by the Xuantian Water Control Flag splashed onto Taiqing Emperor's face again, silencing him.

"Yes, that's it, lure him with words, distract him, then take the opportunity to strike." Du Ge leisurely watched the show, "This way, the chances of success are highest."

"You..." Ziwei Emperor was furious, regaining control of the Xuantian Water Control Flag, pushing it to its limits. In the sky, a river of Samadhi True Water seemed to appear, crashing towards Du Ge.

Du Ge smiled devilishly, and just as the water was about to reach him, it suddenly turned around, heading towards Taiqing Emperor.

Samadhi True Water broke through defenses, corroded spiritual power, and eroded the mind, its power comparable to Samadhi True Fire. A regular Heavenly Immortal hit by this water would lose most of their cultivation...

Even a Great Golden Immortal wouldn't fare well, but this time Taiqing Emperor was prepared, quickly raising the Plain Cloud Realm Flag to protect himself, blocking the river outside.

"Taiqing Emperor, once, twice, can you endure this?" Du Ge said, "If you don't fight back now, when will you?"

Under normal circumstances, Taiqing Emperor wouldn't have paid attention to Du Ge's words, but perhaps his dignity was wounded by the seven-orifice touch, and a surge of evil energy suddenly emerged from his heart. He inexplicably controlled the Plain Cloud Realm Flag.

Manipulating the misty energy, he directed it towards Ziwei Emperor, returning the favor...

Suddenly attacked, Ziwei Emperor, who was competing with Du Ge for control of the Xuantian Water Control Flag, was stunned, "Taiqing, are you crazy?"

Taiqing Emperor also snapped back to reality, abruptly turning to Du Ge, "Is it you?"

"Yes, it's me." Du Ge nodded calmly. Relentlessly corrupting others had this downside: it stirred up evil thoughts in their hearts but didn't cause them to lose their minds. It was useful for surprise attacks, but not very practical as a combat method.

"Indeed a demon." Taiqing Emperor gritted his teeth, once again wielding the Plain Cloud Realm Flag to attack Du Ge.

Du Ge smiled slightly, under the protection of the Azure Lotus Treasure Flag, revealing his Dao resonance, and said slowly, "Two Emperors, what Du just used was a Heavenly Demon technique, vastly different from the path to sainthood you know.

Do you really think such Heavenly Demon methods can make you truly follow me?"

"..." Ziwei Emperor was stunned, looking at the Dao resonance on Du Ge, deep in thought, then put away the Xuantian Water Control Flag.

"Ziwei Daoist, don't be swayed by him!" Taiqing Emperor urged anxiously. He had been hurt by the seven-orifice touch and already had a bad impression of Du Ge, so it was difficult for him to change his mind quickly.

"Ziwei Emperor, do you really not want to become a saint? If I harm you, can you truly escape from the Eastern Divine Continent, joining forces with Eastern Emperor Donghua?" With the Azure Lotus Treasure Flag protecting him, Taiqing Emperor couldn't break through his defense for a while. Du Ge confidently addressed Ziwei Emperor, "The Celestial Emperor rules the celestial court, yet he's just a quasi-saint. Continuing as the Northern Ziwei Emperor, you're destined never to become a saint.

Whether it's the Heavenly Dao or the Heavenly Demon, following me will eventually lead you to see the light. Without destruction, there can be no creation. All opportunities are found in tribulation. Even if you can't become a saint, what's wrong with being a Heavenly Demon for a day? Yin and yang balance each other, and the Heavenly Demon can also transcend..."
