World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 579: A single word can be worth a hundred thousand soldiers

A single technique can conquer the world.

In this world where the future seems cut off, no one can resist the temptation to advance further. Moreover, Du Ge possesses a skill that tirelessly destroys others.

The generals of the Thunder Department fell silent simultaneously.

The battlefield was momentarily quiet.

Emperor Changsheng and Demon King Bai Da exchanged a smile, acknowledging that in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, all things are indeed like straw dogs.

"Under the Heavenly Dao, all beings are equal, and everyone has the chance to become a saint. Are you willing to muddle through life, watching others rise to prominence?" Holy light surrounded Du Ge's body, making him appear particularly divine on the bloody battlefield. "Take a brave step forward, and you can witness a broader world..."

"Don't listen to his deceit; he's nothing but a demon," True Lord Xianyou said. "The path to sainthood is arduous, with the Dao Ancestor and Celestial Emperor above. Emperor Changsheng is a cautionary tale; he lost his life, so how could he become a saint?"

"True Lord Xianyou, are you saying the Dao Ancestor and Celestial Emperor are hindering others from becoming saints?" Du Ge quickly seized on the flaw in True Lord Xianyou's words. "No wonder only the Dao Ancestor has become a saint in millions of years; there's a conspiracy behind it..."

"You're talking nonsense," True Lord Xianyou said, flustered.

"True Lord, if the Dao Ancestor isn't stopping others from becoming saints, why are you so flustered?" Du Ge laughed.

"I..." True Lord Xianyou was at a loss for words.

"If you won't say it, I will. It's nothing more than their greed for power," Du Ge said loudly. "The Celestial Emperor wants to control the three realms, so he cuts off the fortune of the human race;

He wants to control the three realms, so he can't stand Emperor Changsheng establishing a religion;

He wants to control the three realms, so he suppresses the Underworld Emperor in the underworld;

He wants to control the three realms, so he incites a war between celestials and demons, driving the demon race into the human world..."

"Utter nonsense! The Celestial Emperor's actions are clearly for the stability of the three realms. Otherwise, how could the three realms have enjoyed millions of years of peace?" True Lord Xianyou was genuinely angry, dodging a few demon kings and slashing fiercely at Du Ge.

The sharp blade aura seemed to split the heavens and earth, causing countless demon soldiers to die or be injured along its path. However, Du Ge easily blocked it with the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

Then, several demon kings joined forces to entangle True Lord Xianyou.

"True Lord, do you believe this?" Du Ge sneered. "Blocking others from sainthood for stability? Who started this war? In a world where everyone competes, only by striving can one become a saint and seize a chance at life.

What has so-called stability brought?

The Celestial Emperor has turned this world into stagnant water, with no one becoming a saint for millions of years. How can such a world win against external enemies?"

"..." True Lord Xianyou was speechless, glaring at Du Ge as if he wanted to skin him alive.

"Generals of the Thunder Department, the Celestial Emperor has cut off your path to ascension, hoarding the richest resources for himself, occasionally doling out pitiful scraps for you to share, maintaining your cultivation level."

Du Ge ignored True Lord Xianyou and turned back to the Thunder Department, his voice rising. "When it's time to risk your lives, you're sent to the front lines, and when one batch dies, another fills their place.

A thousand years, ten thousand years, a million years, day after day, year after year. There's no end, no hope, like a blindfolded donkey pulling a millstone. Is this numb existence what you sought through your arduous cultivation?"

"..." The generals of the Thunder Department grew increasingly silent, as Du Ge's words starkly revealed the truth of the celestial realm, leaving them speechless.

"And you, my celestial soldier brothers. The path to ascension is one in ten thousand, and becoming an immortal is already an achievement of the most talented from various sects! But look at the life you lead."

Du Ge's body gradually rose, five dragon veins coiling around him, and holy light encircled his head. His passionate voice spread across the battlefield. "The lowest rung of the celestial realm, cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Today, you resist the demon race on the battlefield; tomorrow, you're sent to kill Taixuan Emperor. Centuries of cultivation could vanish in a single battle or a confrontation with Taixuan Emperor.

If the battle is won, your achievements belong to True Lord Xianyou;

If the battle is lost, you pay with your lives, and no one will remember your names. The battle report will simply state that on a certain day, in a certain month, in a certain year, during a certain battle, you encountered Taixuan Emperor, and tens of thousands of celestial soldiers died.

Your lives are reduced to a pitiful statistic...

Ask yourselves, is this truly the life you want?"

The celestial soldiers were once invigorated when besieging the demon race, proud to follow True Lord Xianyou, after all, he was known as the Celestial Court's first God of War.

Their treasures were far superior to the demon race's, and accumulating battle merits would earn them more rewards upon returning to the celestial court...

But now, Du Ge's skill that tirelessly destroyed others quietly shook their beliefs.

Indeed!

What were they fighting so desperately for?

For a few pills distributed after victory, was it worth it?

Many celestial soldiers looked at the desiccated corpses of their comrades, who had been drained of blood by Taixuan Emperor and fallen to the dust.

The feeling of shared sorrow spread inevitably in their hearts, causing many celestial soldiers to unconsciously lower their bows and arrows.

"Celestial soldiers, do not be swayed by the demon's deceit. Without the celestial court's protection, how would you survive in this chaotic world?" True Lord Xianyou sensed the shift in morale, his eyes wide with rage, his body trembling. He wanted to break free from the demon kings and kill Du Ge first, but he couldn't spare a hand.

He wanted to speak out against Du Ge, but his tongue was tied, unable to organize suitable words.

If it weren't for Taixuan Emperor's interference, with Pu Hua Heavenly Lord present, he wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament...

Taixuan Emperor arrived first, luring away Pu Hua Heavenly Lord, and then Du Ge appeared. Could it be that they were in cahoots?

"Celestial soldiers, quickly kill the Human Emperor, and I'll request merits for you upon returning to the celestial court." True Lord Xianyou resorted to his usual motivational tactics in desperation.

But against Du Ge's powerful psychological offensive, ordinary methods couldn't boost morale.

The demon kings weren't foolish either. Realizing that Du Ge had single-handedly shaken the morale of all celestial soldiers, they wouldn't let True Lord Xianyou go, even if it meant risking their lives to keep him entangled.

Emperor Changsheng and Bai Da exchanged a glance, seeing the worry in each other's eyes. The battlefield was not lacking in psychological tactics, but they were usually aimed at the commanders.

Who would directly target the lower ranks on the battlefield?

And no one had ever done it like this!

Du Ge's words could apply not only to the celestial soldiers but also to the lower disciples of Mount Sumeru and the demon race.

On the battlefield, Du Ge targeted the celestial soldiers, and the demon soldiers and Mount Sumeru's disciples might not grasp the implications of his words.

Once the war ended, and they reflected on it, who would still be willing to fight for them?

The Heavenly Dao's incarnation was high enough to regard all things as straw dogs, treating everyone fairly.

But this rhetoric was cutting everyone's roots!

For the lower ranks, shouldn't they be ruled?

Emperor Changsheng's head throbbed; if this issue wasn't handled properly, his newly established Buddhism might also fall apart.

A calamity, a true calamity!

"Military merits, besides inducement, are just coercion. True Lord Xianyou, do you have any other means?" Du Ge coldly mocked.

He didn't care about so much; his keyword was persuasion, and he would persuade as many as he could. Who said that on the battlefield, one must only fight and kill?

Du Ge's eyes carried a look of compassion. "Celestial soldiers, people must live for themselves at least once. Do you remember the original intention when you embarked on the path of cultivation? Do you remember the pride in your hearts after overcoming tribulations?

Was your dream truly to enter the celestial court, to be a small soldier for life, and ultimately become a skeleton on some battlefield?

The world is so vast, and you don't even know what the scenery above looks like?

Don't you want to go up and see it?

The opportunity is right in front of you!

Why did Emperor Changsheng establish a religion?

Why did Taixuan Emperor cultivate the blood method?

Why did Queen Bai Da stand up when the celestial court besieged Mount Sumeru?

Aren't their statuses higher than yours?

Don't they have more resources than you?

Don't they know that doing so would make them enemies of the celestial court?

Yet they still did it?

Why?

Is it because they're foolish?

Is it because they were deceived by me?

No.

It's because they're unwilling, because they don't want to stay in the same place, living the same life day after day.

If they're unwilling, who can persuade them?

You are the same!

The human race can stand on its own, and so can you. I have spread the path to sainthood in the world.

There are still over five hundred demons in the world, and they carry the rules. Understanding the rules on them can lead to sainthood.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance?

Who dares say the next lucky one isn't you?

Don't worry about the powerful celestial court; if the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up. The Taixuan True Lord who practices the blood method, me who incites the independence of the human race, and Emperor Changsheng who established Buddhism, aren't they all taller than you?

With us standing in front, no one will trouble you.

If you're willing to believe me, I can provide you with a place of refuge, willing to be your umbrella, willing to offer you various help, and even let you comprehend Dao resonance..."

As he spoke.

Du Ge released all the Dao resonance on his body, layer upon layer, mysterious and awe-inspiring.

All the celestial soldiers on the battlefield were drawn to it.

Except for True Lord Xianyou, who was still fighting with several demon kings, almost all attacks on the battlefield ceased, including those from the demon race.

"Shut up, shut up, you demon, you're clearly bewitching people's hearts," True Lord Xianyou raged, "Don't listen to him. The Celestial Emperor has managed the celestial court for millions of years; how could a mere demon stop him? Following him is a dead end."

"True Lord Xianyou, words can deceive, but Dao resonance cannot," Du Ge laughed. "What benefits has the Celestial Emperor given you to make you defend him so fervently? Is being the Celestial Emperor's dog so enticing? Is it so hard to let others pursue their dreams and advance further?"

"You..." True Lord Xianyou was furious, his heart aching. Seeing the celestial soldiers clearly distancing themselves from him, he was angry but couldn't say a word.

"I won't interfere with your freedom or your choices. If you trust me, stand behind me. If you don't trust me and prefer stability, continue following True Lord Xianyou."

Du Ge smiled gently, saying, "However, chaos has already arisen in the three realms, and seeking stability might not be easy."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, attack quickly, and kill the demon," True Lord Xianyou shouted frantically, his voice high but powerless.

"Human Emperor, can the Thunder Law truly lead to sainthood?" A celestial general from the Thunder Department couldn't help but ask.

"You'll never have a chance if you don't try," Du Ge smiled.

"Alright, I'll trust you this time." The celestial general glanced at Five Thunder Envoy Guan Tianjun, then decisively flew away from the ranks and stood behind Du Ge.

"Guan Tianjun, I want to take a chance for myself." Another celestial general hesitated for a moment, saluted Guan Tianjun, and flew away from the ranks.

Where there's one, there's two, and where there's two, there's three.

The blue sky Du Ge depicted and the Dao resonance he displayed were too tempting; no one could resist.

They had been stuck at their current level for too long, and Du Ge's skill magnified the evil thoughts in their hearts.

The Peach Banquet didn't include them, the elixirs were limited, and the Celestial Emperor had cut off the path of class ascension, only to enslave them, which they unconsciously accepted as fact.

Du Ge was right; given the chance to be human, who would want to be a dog?

"Fools, all fools," True Lord Xianyou watched as the Thunder Department generals left one by one, trembling with anger, his techniques in disarray. The Black Bear King seized the opportunity to stab him in the hip, causing him to let out a miserable cry.

Five Thunder Envoy Guan Tianjun looked at his hesitant subordinates and sighed, "Go ahead, all of you!"

With that, he flashed to Du Ge's side, saluted him, and stood behind him.

The Thunder Department generals, unburdened, followed suit.

Emperor Changsheng and Bai Da exchanged glances, suddenly feeling that this battle had lost its meaning.

Emperor Changsheng looked at Du Ge's back, his eyes flickering with thought.

"What is your name?" Du Ge asked a celestial general.

"Zhang Delu," the celestial general hesitated for a moment before responding.

"The celestial court's defeat is certain. Are you willing to take a chance for yourself?" Du Ge smiled and asked.

"..." Zhang Delu was silent.

"Zhang Delu, on the battlefield, I called your name, and everyone knows you," Du Ge shook his head. "Have you ever thought that one day, without me, your name could shine across the world, rather than being included when I call out 'celestial soldiers'?"

Du Ge's words were like a sharp arrow, piercing Zhang Delu's heart. His eyes turned red, and he clasped his hands in salute to Du Ge, loudly declaring, "Human Emperor, Zhang Delu is willing to follow you."

"Not to follow me, but to live for yourself, to live with dignity and thought like a human," Du Ge smiled, encouraging him. "And for that one in ten thousand, one in a million chance to become a saint."

"Brothers, I'm rebelling; who will follow me?" Zhang Delu took a deep breath, raised his arm, and shouted.

"I will," his deputy stepped forward and stood behind him.

"Say your name," Du Ge looked at the deputy and said.

"Wang Chun," the deputy said, blushing.

"Who else is willing, say your name loudly here, let everyone know you're not nameless celestial soldier A or B," Du Ge affirmed, looking around.

"Guo Changfeng is willing."

"Liu Lianshan is willing."

...

Above the clouds, names echoed one after another, quickly merging into a chorus.

Du Ge waited quietly, not interrupting, giving everyone dignity through his actions.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? Demon, demon of chaos..."

Amidst the names being called, True Lord Xianyou was left flustered, completely losing his composure. He couldn't understand how the situation, which had been so favorable, had turned so quickly.

And it had turned so thoroughly, with all his soldiers defecting to the enemy...
