World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others -
Chapter 570: The bigger your heart, the bigger the stage
```
"Can the Heavenly Demon truly transcend?" Ziwei Emperor mused.
"That's nonsense," Taiqing Emperor finally couldn't hold back his anger. "Cultivation, cultivation, and in the end, you become a Demon Head. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"What is divine retribution?" Du Ge replied. "As long as I'm stronger than the heavens, there's nothing to fear. Taiqing Emperor, look at me, am I not living well? If I want to be the Heavenly Dao, I can be the Heavenly Dao; if I want to be the Heavenly Demon, I can be the Heavenly Demon. What can the world do to me?"
"You..." Taiqing Emperor intensified his attack, his eyes bloodshot. "Demonic path, you're not some incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, you're clearly a Heavenly Demon. Brother Ziwei, don't be swayed by him. Once you fall into the demonic path, it's hard to return."
An honest person who stays true to himself?
How did he reach the Great Golden Immortal stage?
Looking at the stubborn Taiqing Emperor, Du Ge was speechless. "What is Dao? What is demon? Pan-Universal Entertainment stands above all, playing with countless universes at will. Taiqing Emperor, tell me, are they Dao or demon?"
"Naturally, they are demons," Taiqing Emperor replied.
"Have they ever faced divine retribution?" Du Ge asked again."It's not that it doesn't come, just that the time hasn't arrived," Taiqing Emperor said.
"Who will bring it?" Du Ge sneered.
Taiqing Emperor was at a loss for words.
"You can't answer, so I'll tell you," Du Ge said expressionlessly. "It's me, it's the Eastern Emperor who strives to become a saint, it's Emperor Changsheng who dares to break with the celestial realm, it's all the beings unwilling to be manipulated by fate, but not you, a pedantic person afraid to move forward..."
"They're just bewitched by you..." Taiqing Emperor interrupted Du Ge, arguing.
"If they weren't dissatisfied, how could they be bewitched by me?" Du Ge said. "Ziwei Emperor, let me ask you, if I forced you to become a saint with me, would you be willing?"
"Of course not," Ziwei Emperor replied.
"They... they..." Taiqing Emperor's face turned pale, speechless.
"Are you trying to tell me they just want to become saints, not to resist Pan-Universal Entertainment?" Du Ge finished his sentence for him.
"..." Taiqing Emperor was choked.
"You keep saying Pan-Universal Entertainment is demonic, yet you claim they're just seeking sainthood," Du Ge laughed. "Then tell me, how does the demon you speak of face divine retribution? Is the demon in your heart just a villain who can be punished at will? Is the so-called evil never overcoming righteousness just about not provoking and pretending not to see greater evil?"
Taiqing Emperor broke out in a cold sweat, frozen in place, completely stopping his attack.
"If that's the case, then I'm right. Your Dao heart has long been damaged, and you'll never become a saint in this life." Du Ge looked at Taiqing Emperor with disdain. "Taiqing, I hoped to enlighten you, but you've disappointed me."
"I..." Taiqing Emperor opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You might not understand the saying 'summer insects cannot discuss ice,' so let me explain!" Du Ge said. "Above the Heavenly Dao is the jungle, survival of the fittest, natural selection.
There's no such thing as saint or demon. As long as I have greater power, I can control your fate. If you're inferior to me, you must act within the rules I set. Once you step outside those rules, you're wrong and must face my punishment. I can toy with your fate, even your body...
The celestial court is like this, and so is Pan-Universal Entertainment. The strong make the rules, fists make the rules. By your understanding, above the Heavenly Dao, everyone is a demon. Taiqing Emperor, you've lived within others' rules for too long and have forgotten what freedom looks like. This is why you can't transcend."
Ziwei Emperor and Taiqing Emperor both trembled.
"You only see that I awakened the Human Emperor's legacy, persuaded Emperor Changsheng to establish a sect, and stirred up tribulations, seeing the devastation..." Du Ge's face was neither sad nor happy. "But you didn't see that I awakened their hearts to resist, their pursuit of freedom, and their yearning for growth."
"..." Taiqing Emperor looked at Du Ge with suspicion, his expression full of confusion.
"Currently, they don't need to face Pan-Universal Entertainment, and many don't even know of its existence," Du Ge continued, looking at the two. "But today, they dare to resist the celestial realm. Tomorrow, when Pan-Universal Entertainment attacks, they will also resist it because their mindset has changed.
The same goes for Eastern Emperor and Emperor Changsheng. Right now, they are indeed using me to pursue sainthood. But do you think once they become saints, they will stop?
Qi refining seeks to form a core, forming a core seeks to become a nascent soul, becoming a nascent soul seeks to cross tribulations, crossing tribulations seeks ascension, ascension seeks to become a golden immortal, golden immortals seek sainthood...
The human heart strives upward, never stopping.
As long as they don't stop, one day they will break through the limits of the Heavenly Dao and eventually confront Pan-Universal Entertainment, fighting for themselves.
That will be the true divine retribution for Pan-Universal Entertainment, not your current belief that falling into the demonic path is eternal damnation. Your thinking is too narrow.
Cultivation starts with the heart. Only by breaking the shackles of thought can one seize the opportunity and become a saint on the spot..."
"Break the shackles of thought!" Taiqing Emperor murmured. He looked at Du Ge, his confused eyes becoming clearer and finally turning firm. His stagnant cultivation level, as Du Ge said, began to ascend bit by bit.
Ziwei Emperor was dumbfounded.
Du Ge noticed Taiqing Emperor's change, internally exclaimed in surprise, but maintained a calm expression, asking, "Emperor, sainthood, Buddhahood, or demonhood?"
"All are possible," Taiqing Emperor replied.
"Taiqing Daoist friend, you've realized," Du Ge smiled, calmly withdrawing the protection of the Azure Lotus Treasure Flag.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior." At this moment, Taiqing Emperor's mind was clear, and he no longer held any hostility towards Du Ge. He nodded and bowed deeply in sincere gratitude.
"Daoist friend, it's because you have the root of wisdom," Du Ge smiled.
"No, without your timely guidance, I would still be lost in the fog," Taiqing Emperor shook his head. "From now on, I will follow your lead, senior."
"Good," Du Ge nodded, turning to Ziwei Emperor, asking, "Ziwei Daoist friend, he has realized, what about you?"
"I have realized too," Ziwei Emperor was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Dare to follow me and rebel against the celestial realm?" Du Ge asked.
"If the heavens block my path to Dao, I will rebel against them," Ziwei Emperor replied.
Taiqing Emperor swept away the gloom, laughing wildly, "Ziwei Daoist friend is right. If the heavens block me, I will rebel against them."
"I'm not alone on this path, with two more Daoist friends," Du Ge clapped and laughed. "Daoist friends, lend me your cultivation techniques so I can restore the Dao resonance for you to study."
"Good," the two emperors replied in unison.
The experiences of the other two continents served as templates, directly replicating them to Western Ling Feng Continent and Northern Sacred Continent.
This time, with the demon race joining, the promotion of the Human Emperor's legacy was even faster.
In less than two months, the five continents of the mortal world, except for Central Heavenly Continent, the four continents of east, west, south, and north fell into Du Ge's hands.
The human fortune dragon veins on Du Ge's body increased from two to four, adding white and black dragon veins.
His mental power value soared again, reaching twelve billion, while even the cultivated Alien Star warriors had mental power values of only five or six million.
Because spreading the Human Emperor's legacy required mobilizing various cultivators and yin deities, and acting against the royal dynasties of the mortal world, it was impossible to keep the news hidden.
One message after another reached the celestial realm and the underworld through various channels.
...
At this time.
Due to the time difference, Du Ge had already done many things, and True Lord Xianyou had just returned to the celestial court.
Lingxiao Palace.
The disciples of the Five Sacred Emperors and Eastern Emperor were detained outside the hall, awaiting judgment.
True Lord Xianyou presented various evidence gathered from the Eastern Divine Continent, requesting to personally lead troops to the Southern Zen Continent to suppress the rebellious Emperor Changsheng.
"Your Majesty, the demon Du Ge is inciting the people, causing great harm. If not dealt with early, it may lead to another celestial-demon calamity. I request to lead an army of a hundred thousand to quell the mortal disaster."
True Lord Xianyou knelt on one knee, speaking passionately.
The celestial officials and generals exchanged glances, communicating through their eyes. No one expected Emperor Changsheng to establish a sect and openly oppose the celestial court under the demon's incitement.
He was merely a Great Golden Immortal governing one continent. Who gave him the courage?
Even if he could establish a sect and become a saint, he had to survive first. But he...
While Eastern Emperor's actions might be understandable, Emperor Changsheng had already pushed himself to a dead end.
The celestial emperor would never tolerate anyone challenging his authority.
Either succeed or die.
Now it seems, death is more likely. He must have quasi-saint cultivation to challenge the celestial emperor, but he had been stuck at the Great Golden Immortal stage for a million years. Becoming a saint in a short time was a fool's dream.
What difference does it make if the demon race helps?
The demon race was just a defeated subordinate of the celestial realm. Why couldn't they see the reality?
Those celestial officials familiar with Emperor Changsheng had already lowered their heads, not daring to speak, fearing the celestial emperor would blame them for Emperor Changsheng's rebellion.
Ning Xianping, brought to the celestial realm by True Lord Xianyou, knelt on the ground, feeling the pressure of the world ruler on the golden throne, not daring to breathe. All his plans to speak eloquently and argue with reason vanished into thin air.
He had witnessed the negotiation between Du Ge and Eastern Emperor, but when the moment came, he realized he lacked Du Ge's wisdom and courage.
The celestial emperor read through the memorial presented by True Lord Xianyou, not responding to the request for troops, but instead, with a smile, handed the memorial to the Queen Mother, saying, "This Du Ge is indeed different, not like the usual demons."
Western Spirit Holy Mother took the memorial, glanced through it, and absorbed the content, then fell into thought.
"Western Spirit Holy Mother, what do you think this Du Ge's identity is?" The celestial emperor glanced at Ning Xianping kneeling below and asked.
He knew Alien Star warriors had a built-in live broadcast function but didn't care about revealing his stance to Pan-Universal Entertainment. This was the confidence of a world ruler.
"Your Majesty, I cannot see through him," Western Spirit Holy Mother shook her head.
"Does Holy Mother think his method of becoming a saint is genuine?" The celestial emperor asked again. He claimed to be a quasi-saint, but he knew his own limitations.
He felt close to sainthood, yet it seemed like there was an unbreakable barrier.
"If Your Majesty wishes to know, just capture him," Western Spirit Holy Mother smiled.
The celestial emperor smiled slightly, looking at True Lord Xianyou below. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a spiritual officer rushed in from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, urgent report from the lower realm."
"Speak," the celestial emperor said.
"Ziwei Emperor and Taiqing Emperor have rebelled," the spiritual officer hesitated for a moment, then said, "Western Ling Feng Continent and Northern Sacred Continent have fallen into the hands of the Human Emperor."
The celestial emperor was stunned.
The entire Lingxiao Palace fell silent, the silence was deafening.
Ning Xianping was dumbfounded, swallowing hard, his mind filled with one question: How did he do it?
How did he do it?
In such a challenging Alien Star Battlefield, where other Alien Star warriors struggled, Du Ge managed to push through swiftly?
Is he even human?
The celestial emperor and the Queen Mother exchanged a glance, then looked at True Lord Xianyou again, saying solemnly, "True Lord Xianyou."
"I am here," True Lord Xianyou straightened his back and replied.
"I appoint you as the Grand Marshal of Demon Suppression, immediately gather an army of three hundred thousand to descend and suppress Emperor Changsheng, and capture the demon Du Ge," the celestial emperor said in a deep voice.
Previously, he hadn't taken Du Ge seriously, thinking of investigating Pan-Universal Entertainment through the Alien Star warriors.
But in less than a day, four of the five emperors he sent to guard the mortal realm had rebelled, completely beyond his expectations.
At this rate, not only would he fail to investigate Pan-Universal Entertainment, but if Du Ge incited a celestial-demon war, it would truly become a calamity.
He must suppress this momentum.
"I accept the decree," True Lord Xianyou replied.
"Pu Hua Heavenly Lord," the celestial emperor turned to the direction of the Thunder Department's main deity, "take the Thunder Department gods to assist the Grand Marshal in battle. The mortal realm must not be lost."
"I accept the decree," Pu Hua Heavenly Lord replied.
He was one of the ten heavenly lords of the celestial realm, second only to the celestial emperor and the Queen Mother. Having experienced several great tribulations, his Thunder Department was the most powerful combat force in the celestial court.
The celestial emperor sending him to assist in the lower realm clearly indicated that no mistakes were allowed in this battle against the Alien Star warriors.
This battle was the first confrontation between the celestial court and Pan-Universal Entertainment, representing the celestial realm's dignity. It could only be won, not lost.
True Lord Xianyou and Pu Hua Heavenly Lord went to gather troops.
Ning Xianping was left alone in the Lingxiao Palace, increasingly at a loss.
At this moment.
Celestial Master Ge stepped forward, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the disciples of the Five Sacred Emperors and Eastern Emperor?"
"Detain them for now," the celestial emperor hesitated for a moment, then said, "Once True Lord Xianyou captures the rebels like Changsheng, we will interrogate and deal with them together."
"Yes," Celestial Master Ge replied, turning to pass on the order.
The celestial emperor then looked at Ning Xianping, kneeling in the Golden Throne Hall, and said, "Ning Xianping, raise your head."
Ning Xianping raised his head, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Do not be afraid," the celestial emperor smiled faintly. "In this court, tell me everything about Du Ge's past..."
...
In the underworld.
The Underworld Emperor also learned of the events in the mortal realm, gently tapping his fingers on the table, silent.
"Master, the Human Emperor's abilities are extraordinary. Four of the five emperors have rebelled, and the demon race is stirring. The celestial emperor is likely to send troops. Should we continue to wait?" Changning, who had rushed back from the mortal realm, asked.
"What do you think?" The Underworld Emperor looked at his disciple and asked.
"The celestial court is strong, and the Human Emperor is weak. Master, don't you plan to protect the Human Emperor?" Changning hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't think the Human Emperor is demonic. If he is captured by the celestial court, Master's opportunity to become a saint..."
"Changning, stop talking nonsense. Just focus on your duties," the Underworld Emperor snorted heavily. "If he can't withstand even one wave of attack from the celestial court, the words of the Heavenly Dao are likely exaggerated."
"Yes, Master," Changning replied expressionlessly, stepping back.
The Underworld Emperor pondered for a moment, then said, "Bring the Alien Star warriors you brought back from the mortal realm. I want to verify if the Keywords are related to the laws..."
