World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 576: Create a black pot when there is no black pot

Du Ge was right in his guess.

Without his presence, the disciples of the Taixuan Emperor couldn't command the Five Directions True Lords at all.

The movements of the other four continents and the celestial realm were clear to the Five Directions Celestial Lords. They could inform the celestial realm to deal with the Blood Ancestor, but promoting the Human Emperor's legacy was impossible.

The Central Extreme Continent was inhabited only by humans, without any demon race. If they helped promote the Human Emperor's legacy, it would mean opposing the celestial court.

In their hearts, a mere Human Emperor couldn't possibly be stronger than the celestial court, which had been around for countless years.

Moreover, with three hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals besieging the Emperor Changsheng, if he were to fall, the Human Emperor would face total annihilation.

Therefore.

Not only did the dozen disciples of the Taixuan Emperor fail to persuade the Five Directions Celestial Lords, but they were also convinced by them to betray Du Ge, focusing solely on seeking help from the celestial court.

After all, although Du Ge had saved Xiang Qingfeng and others, he hadn't had the time to offer them enough benefits.

Moreover, they were always concerned about Du Ge's cultivation of the blood method and didn't believe he would willingly oppose the Taixuan Emperor.

When the Night Touring Ghosts from various places reported back the news of the Taixuan Emperor wantonly slaughtering the public and absorbing their blood essence, the Five Directions Celestial Lords, along with the disciples of the Taixuan Emperor, simultaneously chose to seek help from the celestial court.

They all left the Central Extreme Continent in a rush.

No one chose to confront the now-demonic Taixuan Emperor head-on for the sake of the public...

...

This was discovered by Du Ge while he was leading the Taixuan Emperor on a worldwide chase, boosting the Human Emperor's reputation, and passing by the Five Directions Celestial Lords' domain.

Upon discovering that the Five Directions True Lords had fled, Du Ge acted decisively, issuing a proclamation to all humans of the Central Extreme Continent in every major city and town he passed.

He enumerated the Taixuan Emperor's brutality in treating humans as sheep;

The cowardice of the Five Directions Celestial Lords in fleeing the battlefield;

And the ancient enslavement of humans by the celestial court, breaking the backbone of humanity, leaving them helpless and reliant on other races in times of trouble;

Finally, Du Ge, in the name of the Human Emperor, strongly called for humans to be self-reliant, to awaken their Literary Heart and Martial Courage, and to reshape the soul of humanity to truly stand firm in the world...

...

With the Taixuan Emperor wantonly slaughtering in the human world, the selfless protection of the Human Emperor, and the desertion of the Five Directions Celestial Lords...

All these signs combined, the public of the Central Extreme Continent finally awakened, no longer blindly believing that the celestial court would protect them.

Wherever the Taixuan Emperor went, people were drained to husks, and under such nightmares, people had no way to discern, nor the time to discern, the truth behind the events.

Swayed by Du Ge, the bereaved public directed their anger at the celestial court that had abandoned them.

The power of anger is immense.

Realizing that relying on heaven and earth was less reliable than relying on themselves, the once privately circulated exhortations of the Human Emperor and the realms of Literary Heart and Martial Courage were openly displayed.

The royal families of various nations couldn't stop it, and in fact, they didn't want to. The Taixuan Emperor was now Du Ge's partner, and when devouring human blood essence, he prioritized the royal family. Even if he overlooked them, Du Ge would make up for it, as he too practiced the blood method.

Du Ge wasn't afraid of the backlash from the dragon vein, and the Taixuan Emperor's cultivation level similarly didn't care about the backlash from those meager dragon veins.

...

The Central Extreme Continent had the largest human population, increasing the likelihood of geniuses being born.

In just two or three days, Literary Heart awakenings occurred successively across various regions.

In cities harassed by the Taixuan Emperor, people inevitably praised the Human Emperor.

Finally.

On the third day, the last dragon vein finally converged on Du Ge.

With the convergence of the five dragons, the situation changed dramatically.

At this moment, the Human Emperor's legacy became a reality.

Du Ge's personal strength further skyrocketed, and his mental power suddenly broke through thirty billion.

He felt as if the fate of the entire human race was connected to him, as if the entire map was illuminated.

Du Ge's perception could cover every place where humans existed with just a thought.

This was an entirely new realm.

Every human who awakened their Literary Heart and Martial Courage was like a lit coordinate, and Du Ge could clearly know the strength of their literary aura and could mobilize human fortune to reward them.

Du Ge was generous, and the moment he truly became the Human Emperor, he immediately mobilized human fortune to strengthen every scholar who had awakened their Literary Heart and Martial Courage.

The external manifestation was countless rays of blue light descending from the sky, accurately infusing into each scholar's body, enhancing their literary aura and stabilizing their realm.

Human fortune was closely related to Du Ge's strength.

This operation consumed a great deal of human fortune, and the dragon vein surrounding Du Ge visibly weakened.

However, Du Ge did not regret it. To take, one must first give. He set the Human Emperor's role as one where Literary Heart and Martial Courage assist the Human Emperor, who in turn communicates with heaven and earth to nourish Literary Heart and Martial Courage, complementing each other, indispensable.

What he had just done was precisely to communicate with heaven and earth, nourishing Literary Heart and Martial Courage.

The moment he succeeded, Du Ge knew that the Human Emperor's path had truly been established.

From now on, he was completely bound to the human fortune of this world. The stronger the human race, the stronger he would become.

Once the miracle of this nourishment spread, it would lead more people to believe in the Human Emperor's legacy, striving to possess Literary Heart and Martial Courage, thereby promoting the robust growth of human fortune, and consequently enhancing his strength.

What derivative items?

What ferocious second skill?

At this moment, none of that mattered.

As long as his strength was high enough and his prestige among humans strong enough, he could add more positive skills to himself at any time.

For instance, his ability to perceive the five continents through the Human Emperor's legacy was essentially the Power of Faith from the trend keyword awakening.

The status of the Human Emperor itself was equivalent to integrating the skill of rallying support from the noble keyword awakening onto him;

So, as long as his own strength was sufficient, the skills born from keywords could be whatever he desired.

Of course.

The most important thing remained the skill of the Heavenly Mandate. By mastering the entire human race as the Human Emperor, Du Ge's foundational base was established, and it was time to nurture the many seeds he had planted.

He wanted to truly turn the Heavenly Mandate into words that became law.

However, to achieve this, Du Ge still needed a mature team to help him implement and promote these matters.

...

On the sea outside the Central Extreme Continent.

The Taixuan Emperor looked at Du Ge in astonishment and asked, "Have you become a saint?"

After two or three days of cooperation, the Taixuan Emperor had already let down his guard against Du Ge. The task in the Central Extreme Continent was almost complete, and the Blood Demon couldn't keep circling around the Central Extreme Continent with Du Ge.

Thus, in a seaside town, Du Ge and the Taixuan Emperor staged their final act, chasing and fleeing until they reached the sea.

It was on the sea that the Taixuan Emperor suddenly sensed a trace of a majestic aura from Du Ge. Although the aura vanished in an instant, the Taixuan Emperor still felt the presence of the Dao Ancestor, which filled him with dread.

It seemed like he had caused a ruckus in the Central Extreme Continent, wreaking havoc everywhere, but except for the initial period when he wasn't entangled by Du Ge, he had happily absorbed some blood essence. Later, the blood essence he absorbed while acting was barely enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

At this moment, Du Ge had become a saint, and the Taixuan Emperor had no power to resist. When he asked this question, he was already prepared to flee at any moment.

"I have become a saint."

Du Ge nodded affirmatively. Having gathered the five dragon veins, his perception spanned the five continents, and he could teleport to any place on the five continents at any time, no longer needing to worry about the Taixuan Emperor.

Due to the existence of the Heavenly Mandate, Du Ge was also more cautious when speaking. He would not utter anything that weakened himself or strengthened the enemy.

He wanted to completely turn the Heavenly Mandate into words that became law.

The Taixuan Emperor's expression changed drastically. He couldn't tell if Du Ge had truly become a saint, but seeing that Du Ge had no intention of attacking him, he gritted his teeth and refrained from fleeing, "How did you do it?"

"When the human fortune gathered into one, I naturally became a saint." Du Ge smiled, "Gathering the fortune of a race is inherently the way to sainthood."

"What should I do?" The Taixuan Emperor opened his mouth and asked, "After all, I once helped you. You won't go back on your word, will you?"

"Of course not." Du Ge shook his head and said, "Taixuan, I am inherently the Heavenly Dao. Becoming a saint is just one step for me.

My ultimate goal is to transcend the Heavenly Dao, evade the cycle of tribulation, and become the master of the multiverse. In this process, I need more powerful allies. I will only help you become a saint, not harm you."

"But I practice the blood method after all," the Taixuan Emperor said, "To achieve greatness, I must create endless slaughter."

"Then go kill." Du Ge looked toward the Southern Zen Continent and said, "The thirty thousand celestial soldiers and generals led by True Lord Xianyou and Pu Hua Heavenly Lord are besieging Mount Sumeru. Go and devour the blood essence of the thirty thousand celestial soldiers and generals, I will not interfere. If the celestial court targets you, I will assist you in secret."

"Is this true?" The Taixuan Emperor's eyes lit up, and he asked.

"It's true."

Du Ge was silent for a moment and nodded.

He knew his own situation.

He had become the Human Emperor, but his strength hadn't increased significantly.

After all, the human race was currently too weak.

He had sent the Ziwei Emperor to invite True Lord Xianyou to exorcise demons, and sent the Taiqing and Donghua Emperors to the celestial court for reinforcements, but there was no response.

The Taiqing and Donghua Emperors had not returned, likely detained by the celestial court, and True Lord Xianyou apparently didn't take the Ziwei Emperor seriously...

No one cared about a Human Emperor, and no one even cared that the Taixuan Emperor practiced the blood method.

This made Du Ge realize that his influence in this world was ultimately too small.

The celestial court was still a colossal entity to him.

Until now, the Celestial Emperor, Queen Mother, Demon Emperor, Underworld Emperor, and Dao Ancestor, these top figures of the world, had not appeared, and Du Ge didn't know why.

Therefore, he needed a villain to draw these people's attention, to buy him more time.

The things spoken by the Heavenly Mandate needed time to ferment.

The Taixuan Emperor was undoubtedly the best role.

A catastrophe?

How can it be called a catastrophe if no one dies?

When the celestial court sent troops to attack the Emperor Changsheng, they didn't think about sparing anyone.

When the demon race counterattacked the celestial court, they wouldn't think about sparing those celestial soldiers who had driven them away for millions of years...

For instance, if he hadn't allowed the Taixuan Emperor to kill in the Central Extreme Continent, how could he have gathered all the human fortune so quickly and established the position of a Human Emperor?

Survival of the fittest is ultimately the trend of this world!

...

Having practiced the forbidden method without the strength to protect himself, the Taixuan Emperor actually felt very insecure deep down. Having received Du Ge's promise, he couldn't wait to turn around and head straight for the Southern Zen Continent.

Watching the Taixuan Emperor leave.

Du Ge flashed back to the Eastern Divine Continent and gathered Master Zhang, Yan Zian, and others.

"Greetings to the Human Emperor." Everyone saluted Du Ge.

"Rise." Du Ge waved his hand, lifting everyone up, then he revealed the five human dragon veins, "My ministers, today I have gathered the fortune of the five continents, and the path of the Human Emperor is complete."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

Especially the scholars who had awakened their Literary Heart and Martial Courage, their eyes sparkled as they looked at Du Ge. The descent of literary aura from the heavens suddenly had a reasonable explanation at this moment.

Among the crowd, Master Zhang and Master Xu had somewhat complex expressions. Du Ge's achievement of the Human Emperor's path meant that the human race and the celestial court were now completely on opposing sides.

"Congratulations to the Human Emperor, may the Human Emperor live for thousands of years."

Everyone bowed to the ground again, congratulating Du Ge in unison.

Du Ge stood tall, his expression stern, and said, "My ministers, although I have achieved the path of the Human Emperor, I am not happy.

The Taixuan Emperor secretly practiced the blood method and fell into demonic ways, committing slaughter in the Central Extreme Continent, intending to recreate the chaos of the Blood Ancestor. Wherever he went, corpses lay for miles, and all, whether human or beast, were drained of their blood essence and died;

If the Taixuan Emperor succeeds, the human race is in danger, and the three realms are in danger..."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone was stunned.

Although Master Xu and Master Zhang hadn't experienced the chaos of the Blood Ancestor, they understood how terrifying the Blood Ancestor, who single-handedly caused a catastrophe, was.

"To prevent the three realms from falling into the calamity of the Blood Ancestor again, I made a decisive decision, sending the Ziwei, Donghua, and Taiqing Emperors to the celestial court and to True Lord Xianyou, who was attacking the Southern Zen Continent, to request reinforcements, trying to nip the Taixuan Emperor's threat in the bud."

Du Ge looked around at everyone, his voice filled with sorrow, "But the result I received was that the Ziwei Emperor was trapped within True Lord Xianyou's army. The Taiqing and Donghua Emperors entered the celestial court and were never heard from again.

Left with no choice, I had to risk my life, intercepting the Taixuan Emperor for three days, protecting the billions of people in the Central Extreme Continent, and through this, allowing the people of the Central Extreme Continent to realize that only by being self-reliant could they stand firm in the world, awakening the soul of humanity within them.

Ultimately, I gathered the human fortune, achieved the path of the Human Emperor, and used this to scare away the Taixuan Emperor, temporarily safeguarding the Central Extreme Continent..."

"The celestial court is so despicable." Chi Muzhi said angrily, "First they enslave our human race, then they refuse to save us. If our human race perishes, how can the celestial court survive?"

"Prime Minister Chi is right, my anger lies in this point." Du Ge snorted coldly, "The revival of the human race is destined, but the Celestial Emperor, for his own selfish reasons, disregards the catastrophe of the three realms and chooses to watch the Blood Ancestor's rampage with cold eyes.

Such cold-blooded, selfish individuals, what right do they have to sit as the ruler of the three realms? Today, I have gathered you here to use your hands to expose the celestial court's actions to the world, letting every citizen know the true face of the Celestial Emperor.

To know that in this world, the only ones the human race can rely on are themselves, only by making ourselves strong can we fear no catastrophe.

I want to rewrite history, telling every citizen of the five continents the truth of the chaos of the Blood Ancestor, letting every citizen recognize the despicability of the celestial court, and understand the twilight tribulation...

By taking history as a mirror, we can understand the rise and fall, understand ourselves, and strengthen our race..."
