World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 582: The last straw

Pu Hua Heavenly Lord was skeptical of Du Ge's words, but he stayed nonetheless.

The path to sainthood was full of temptation, and it was a path that could not be taken in the celestial realm.

The most crucial point was that Pu Hua Heavenly Lord knew, as one of the ten heavenly lords of the celestial realm, even if he was deceived by Du Ge, the Celestial Emperor would not punish him, as heavenly lords were not bound by the celestial court.

In the following days.

Du Ge remained on Mount Sumeru, discussing Dao with everyone, allowing all to comprehend Dao resonance, while also guiding the public opinion across the five regions.

The Human Emperor's legacy was spread throughout the five regions, allowing Du Ge to teleport anywhere instantly, with distance no longer being a limitation for him.

The mortal world had finally found some peace.

During these days, all reports in the "Human Race Daily" revolved around the battle between immortals and Buddhas in the Southern Zen Continent.

The battle was reported from various angles, detailing the process and providing various analyses.

For instance, the article "On the Beginning and End of the Battle between Immortals and Buddhas" delved into the Celestial Emperor's wolfish ambitions and his outward strength but inner weakness.

As soon as Buddhism was established, the celestial court immediately dispatched True Lord Xianyou to suppress it, revealing the Celestial Emperor's hegemonic stance of not allowing anyone to establish themselves independently.

The Celestial Emperor's eagerness to provoke war became evidence of his attempt to overcome the Twilight of the Gods tribulation, as he sought to stir up a great calamity in the three realms, hoping to return spiritual power to the heavens and earth through the deaths of many, thus calming the twilight tribulation...

...

In stark contrast to the Celestial Emperor's incompetence was the article "The Art of War and Diplomacy."

It narrated how the Human Emperor, during the stalemate between the two sides, stepped forward to quell the slaughter, persuading hundreds of thousands of celestial soldiers to surrender and slaying True Lord Xianyou single-handedly.

On one hand, it demonstrated the strength of the Human Emperor, and on the other, it showcased his determination to protect the mortal world from the celestial court;

Afterward.

The news of Pu Hua Heavenly Lord defecting to the human race under the Human Emperor's influence further stirred the five regions.

The supplement of the "Human Race Daily" interspersed articles on how the Human Emperor encouraged scholars, advising them to avoid arrogance and impatience, and to advance step by step to reach the pinnacle;

There were also articles on the Human Emperor's vision for the future and his determination to protect the human race;

Of course, there were also reports on the talent boom across the regions, the establishment of Buddhism's Pure Land, the peace treaty signed between the demon race and the human race, and other major events;

In summary.

Everything about the celestial court was negative, with the Celestial Emperor being incompetent, harsh, and tyrannical, and the celestial court in decline, outwardly strong but inwardly weak...

Everything about the human race was positive, with the Human Emperor being wise, great, and courageous, and the human race thriving and flourishing, advancing rapidly...

...

By mastering public opinion, Du Ge mastered people's hearts, and he was well-versed in the art of propaganda.

His thoughts and the things he hoped to achieve were unknowingly spread through these articles.

The confidence of the human race was fully ignited, with a surge of Literary Heart and Martial Courage.

The "True History of the Three Realms" compiled by Du Ge was spread to every corner of the human race through the promotion of many historians.

One person told ten, ten told a hundred.

More and more people believed in the Human Emperor's legacy and the twilight tribulation...

In just over ten days, Du Ge's prestige in the mortal world reached its peak.

More and more people awakened their Literary Heart and Martial Courage, strengthening the fortune of the human race and further elevating Du Ge's cultivation level.

Now, without relying on any magical artifacts, he could suppress the likes of Emperor Changsheng and Demon King Bai Da when they joined forces.

As for Pu Hua Heavenly Lord and the generals of the Thunder Department, Du Ge could easily defeat them.

After all.

Once the thunder techniques that the heavenly lords prided themselves on became ineffective against him, their other methods were quite ordinary.

In other words, Du Ge's cultivation level had already reached the forefront of the world, though it was unclear if there was still a gap between him and the Celestial Emperor and Queen Mother.

It must be said that binding the fortune of the human race with the Human Emperor was the most correct decision Du Ge made.

...

Du Ge managed the mortal world with great success.

The Alien Star warriors were living more comfortably than ever, joining sects if they had one, or the government if they didn't. As long as they revealed their identity and keywords, there were plenty of people willing to cooperate with their development.

A competitive game was forcibly turned into a life simulation game by Du Ge.

Everyone knew that the Human Emperor was Du Ge.

But by this time, no one wanted to be his enemy anymore.

Whether Du Ge was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao or an Alien Star warrior, they were not on the same level of existence.

Being his enemy now would truly be a sign of having one's head caught in a door.

Now, the goal of every Alien Star warrior was to strive to uncover keywords, hoping to achieve sainthood and truly break free from the control of Pan-Universal Entertainment.

If they could break free from Pan-Universal Entertainment, who would care about the fate of the planet behind them...

Of course, everyone was also competing fiercely due to the damn elimination system, as long as they weren't last in the Alien Star Battlefield ranking, the game was considered a victory.

It couldn't be said that no one hated Du Ge, as those who randomly got useless keywords and couldn't escape the last ranking no matter how hard they tried hated Du Ge with a passion, but they could only hate him in their hearts, as useless keywords couldn't possibly harm Du Ge.

...

In the underworld.

The Underworld Emperor also nurtured a few Alien Star warriors, sending them to the mortal world to develop, providing resources and connections, and even arranging bodyguards for them.

All to verify Du Ge's claims, to replicate the keywords on them, and take that step towards sainthood.

The "True History of the Three Realms" and the daily "Human Race Daily," along with Du Ge's activities in the mortal world, were delivered to the Underworld Emperor by Changning and other disciples of the Underworld Emperor at the first opportunity.

"Even Pu Hua Heavenly Lord has submitted to Du Ge. Regardless of his abilities, his methods of winning people over are becoming increasingly impressive."

The Underworld Emperor finished reading the latest "Human Race Daily," casually set it aside, and picked up the "True History of the Three Realms," flipping through it with interest.

The Underworld Emperor, being from the same era as the Demon Emperor and Celestial Emperor, was well aware of past events and naturally knew that the so-called true history of the three realms was entirely fabricated.

What he was interested in was the method of achieving sainthood within it, the things hidden behind the "True History of the Three Realms." The Human Emperor's legacy was originally false, but under Du Ge's manipulation, it had become a reality, forcing the Underworld Emperor to wonder if Du Ge was truly the Heavenly Dao from another world.

The Heavenly Dao could actually condense an incarnation, transcend the world's constraints, and pursue a higher level of power. This strength moved the Underworld Emperor, for he too hoped that one day he could visit other worlds, see new sights, rather than being trapped in one world, living a monotonous life...

But on this day.

As the Underworld Emperor flipped through the "True History of the Three Realms," he suddenly felt a wave of irritation, followed by a rapid decline in his strength.

To be precise, the abundant spiritual power within him suddenly began to riot, as if it was about to burst out of his body at any moment.

At the Underworld Emperor's level, even if he did nothing, the surrounding spiritual power would naturally flow into his body, allowing his strength to grow naturally.

But now, every bit of spiritual power entering his body seemed as if it would explode his dantian the next moment...

"Twilight of the Gods tribulation?"

Feeling the changes in his body, the Underworld Emperor's expression changed dramatically, and a word suddenly flashed into his mind.

The "True History of the Three Realms" beside the Underworld Emperor's hand flipped open without wind, turning to the chapter on the twilight tribulation:

"...The stronger the sage, the more fortune they steal. At that time, it will attract the heavens' backlash, as the heavens seek to reclaim the fortune to maintain the world's operation. Thus, the Twilight of the Gods tribulation arises. If one overcomes it, they remain unscathed; if not, they experience the five decays of heaven and man, and the sage falls..."

"How is this possible? The twilight tribulation has actually come true?"

The Underworld Emperor was shocked, and he immediately stopped his cultivation, isolating his body from absorbing any spiritual power, only then did the overwhelming sense of urgency dissipate.

"Damn it, what the hell is this bastard trying to do? I'm just a quasi-saint, not even a true sage, how could this damn twilight tribulation fall on me." The Underworld Emperor was almost driven mad, "No, how could this damn twilight tribulation possibly come true?"

The Underworld Emperor's mind was in chaos.

At this moment, he was completely at a loss.

Suddenly having such a major flaw appear out of nowhere, who wouldn't panic?

Previously, the Underworld Emperor had admired Du Ge, hoping he would help him take that final step, but now, he wished he could tear him to pieces.

This was truly a disaster from the heavens...

The Underworld Emperor was at a loss, and after pondering for a moment, his figure suddenly flickered, disappearing from the underworld and heading straight for Mount Sumeru.

...

Meanwhile.

Due to the time lag, the celestial court was still dealing with the matter of Eastern Emperor and Taiqing Emperor accusing Taixuan Emperor of practicing blood magic.

As soon as Eastern Emperor and Taiqing Emperor entered the celestial court, they were apprehended, their cultivation sealed, and brought before the Lingxiao Palace. In the astonished gazes of the civil and military officials, they reported the matter of Taixuan Emperor practicing blood magic to the Celestial Emperor.

"Did Du Ge send you to plead for help from me?" Looking at the two former subordinates kneeling below, the Celestial Emperor found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, a day in the heavens is a hundred days on earth. Taixuan Emperor practicing blood magic is a major event in the three realms. If he is allowed to grow, the three realms may once again experience the chaos of the Blood Ancestor. We urge Your Majesty to quickly dispatch troops to assist the Human Emperor in slaying Taixuan Emperor..." Eastern Emperor spoke passionately.

"A rebel stirring up the three realms, wanting to join forces with me for the sake of the three realms' stability, is quite interesting." The Celestial Emperor glanced around at the ministers, stroking his beard with a smile, "Perhaps the Human Emperor, who is said to be on par with me, couldn't handle a newly practicing blood magic Taixuan Emperor, and is now in a desperate situation!"

"Indeed a demon, unworthy of the stage." The Queen Mother chuckled.

"Demon Subduing Heavenly Lord, why don't you go down to the mortal world and see what this so-called Taixuan Emperor is all about!" The Celestial Emperor smiled, turning to the position of Demon Subduing Heavenly Lord.

Before Demon Subduing Heavenly Lord could speak, suddenly, an urgent report came from outside the hall.

"Announce it." The Celestial Emperor said.

Before the words had finished.

The celestial general guarding the heavenly gate hurried in, kneeling on one knee: "Reporting to the Celestial Emperor, True Lord Xianyou has been defeated."

"What?" The Celestial Emperor was suddenly stunned.

"Taixuan Emperor launched a surprise attack on the celestial soldiers..." The celestial general presented the "Human Race Daily" that had just been delivered from the mortal world, and briefly recounted the events that had occurred on Mount Sumeru.

As soon as the words fell.

The celestial court was in an uproar.

"What? True Lord Xianyou was actually killed by the Human Emperor?"

"Pu Hua Heavenly Lord also surrendered to the Human Emperor?"

"Isn't he a demon? How could he possess such supernatural power?"

"He can kill True Lord Xianyou, yet why did he let Taixuan Emperor go and send Eastern and Taiqing to seek help from the celestial court?"

...

The Celestial Emperor quickly scanned through the "Human Race Daily," and after seeing the newspaper's extreme slander against him, his face turned livid: "Outrageous, this scoundrel truly has no scruples."

The Celestial Emperor was furious.

The previously noisy Lingxiao Palace instantly fell silent, with the civil and military officials looking at the Celestial Emperor above, all bewildered.

The Celestial Emperor snorted, scattering the "Human Race Daily" at his side, and coldly looked at Eastern and Taiqing: "Two fools, you really thought he was a good person. Sending you to plead for help from me was clearly to use you two to smear me."

In front of Eastern Emperor and Taiqing Emperor, was the article where Du Ge sent them to plead for help from the celestial court, yet the Celestial Emperor did not respond.

Seeing this article, Eastern Emperor and Taiqing Emperor felt a mix of emotions, finally understanding what had happened.

Perhaps as soon as they ascended to the celestial court, this article was published, and Du Ge perfectly used them to create a time lag, thereby consolidating his position as the Human Emperor...

How could this be?

From beginning to end, were they just pawns in Du Ge's hands?

Yet when they were comprehending Dao resonance, Du Ge seemed so sincere...

In this short time.

Several important ministers and generals of the celestial court had already circulated the "Human Race Daily," and the Heavenly Official Emperor stepped forward: "Your Majesty, it is now certain that Du Ge's claim of being the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao is false. He is the culprit sent by Pan-Universal Entertainment to disrupt the three realms. I request permission to lead troops to the mortal world to slay Du Ge and restore clarity to the three realms."

"Heavenly Official Emperor, slaying Du Ge is easy, but how should we deal with the Pan-Universal Entertainment Company behind him?" Yuan Sheng Heavenly Lord said, "Your Majesty's previous intention was to use Du Ge to explore the so-called Pan-Universal Entertainment. It's easy to kill them all, but if Pan-Universal Entertainment invades again, how should we handle it?"

"Naturally, we kill as many as come." The Grand Marshal of the Celestial Army, who had a fiery temper, said, "Kill until they dare not come again. The three realms are already in chaos, why care so much!"

"What if those who come are not Alien Star warriors, but people from Pan-Universal Entertainment?" Yuan Sheng Heavenly Lord said, "As you have seen, the keyword skills in the hands of Alien Star warriors are quite strange, and even a Great Golden Immortal cannot avoid being controlled.

The reason Alien Star warriors are easy to kill is that they themselves are too weak. What if people from Pan-Universal Entertainment can freely use skills and are themselves powerful?"

As soon as the words fell.

The Celestial Emperor and Queen Mother both changed their expressions, exchanging a glance and revealing a look of horror.

Then.

Before the civil and military officials could react, the Celestial Emperor and Queen Mother had already disappeared from the Lingxiao Palace.

...

Under the Tongtian Jianmu.

The Celestial Emperor anxiously looked at the Queen Mother: "Holy Mother, your cultivation?"

"Rioting, uncontrollable, almost bursting out." The Queen Mother's face was pale, she said.

"Twilight of the Gods tribulation." The Celestial Emperor's eye twitched a few times, he said with difficulty.

"It should be." A sharp look flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "We should have eliminated him when the Human Emperor's legacy became real. Easily changing the rules, turning false into true, he is probably truly the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao."

"Holy Mother, what should we do now?" The Celestial Emperor frowned, asking, "The twilight tribulation has already formed, even if we act against him, it might not eliminate this calamity."

"Your Majesty, do you remember how to resolve the twilight tribulation?" The Queen Mother said.

"Stir up a great calamity, return the spiritual power to the heavens and earth, the calamity will naturally dissipate, or we fall." The Celestial Emperor pondered for a moment, he said.

"His goal is probably to use our hands to stir up a great calamity in this world." The Queen Mother sighed, "Dividing the human race and the celestial court, inciting Emperor Changsheng to establish Buddhism, allowing Taixuan Emperor to emerge, every step he takes is leading the world towards a great calamity, the Twilight of the Gods is his final trump card, forcing us to act..."
