World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others -
Chapter 586: Du Ge is deeply concerned about the company
"Benefits? What benefits? You can't even explain it. Even if it costs me my life, I will kill you, you fraud." The Demon Emperor spoke to Du Ge with instinctive disdain, his tone sharp.
Unlike the others, he hadn't gained anything from Du Ge.
Even the demon race he led was being used. If they lost this war, he would be left with nothing.
Apart from the Underworld Emperor, the others didn't look too pleased either.
Some things can't be overthought. When things are going well, it doesn't matter, but once they start to go wrong, the more you think about it, the more it feels off.
Especially now that Du Ge's power was growing, and the human race he led was flourishing.
Others were either stagnant or making only minor progress, some even being dragged down...
It seemed all the benefits were going to Du Ge.
In comparison.
Naturally, they felt uncomfortable."Don't look at me like that. The path I provided is the right one. It's just that you're too impatient," Du Ge said, glancing around at everyone. "How many years did it take you to reach your current level? How long have you known me?
Don't compare everything to me. I am the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, merely retracing the path I once walked. What do you have to compare with me?"
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed!
In the past, cultivation took millions of years, and the path to sainthood was fraught with difficulties. When did they become so impatient?
Perhaps it was the rapid changes in the human race!
Or maybe it was Du Ge's cultivation speed, advancing by leaps and bounds...
"With me here, at least you know the path to take. You won't be as lost as before. Knowing the path, are you still afraid you won't reach your goal one day?"
Du Ge smiled and said, "The path to sainthood should be gradual to align with the Heavenly Dao. Because I plan to manipulate the Keywords of Pan-Universal Entertainment, I've forcibly accelerated the world's progress, giving you the opportunity to achieve sainthood in a short time.
There's a saying, 'A single move affects the whole situation.' Forcibly changing the world's rules will inevitably lead to unforeseen consequences. Only a great calamity can reorganize order and bear the cause and effect of your sainthood.
That is the price.
For every general's success, countless bones are buried. In this process, some rise, and some inevitably fall. How could you expect to sit back and enjoy the fruits without any effort?"
Everyone exchanged glances.
Emperor Changsheng murmured, "The calamity is to reorganize order?"
"Yes, with so many Literary Hearts and Martial Courages, are the humans willing to be governed by the Celestial Emperor?" Du Ge looked at Emperor Changsheng. "As I said, without the calamity, how would your Buddhism rise? Do you remember my arrangement for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? He vowed that until hell was empty, he would not become a Buddha, sharing the Underworld Emperor's power, didn't he?"
Emperor Changsheng's face changed suddenly, awkwardly glancing at the Underworld Emperor.
The Underworld Emperor, however, seemed indifferent. After witnessing Du Ge's terrifying cultivation speed, his goals were no longer confined to the small underworld.
"Demon Emperor, I know you are dissatisfied with me, but even without me, would the Celestial Emperor allow the demon race to grow unchecked? Are you content to let the demon race remain confined to the human world?"
Du Ge looked at the Demon Emperor, subtly activating his skill to sow discord, "I merely brought the calamity forward. If you're not prepared, is the Celestial Emperor prepared?
With humans, the underworld, Buddhism, and even Taixuan Emperor united, now is the best time for the demon race."
Hmph!
The Demon Emperor snorted, not agreeing or disagreeing.
Du Ge shifted his tone, saying, "As I said, for every general's success, countless bones are buried. Gentlemen, if you could become saints, would you really care about those sacrifices?"
Previously, there was only silence, but now it was deathly quiet.
The skill to sow discord continued to stir the greatest evil thoughts in their hearts.
On the surface, it was silent, but Du Ge's question rang like a bell in their minds.
Indeed!
If they could become saints?
Would they really care about those sacrifices?
"I've said before, above the Heavenly Dao is the law of the jungle, indifferent to good and evil. As long as your fist is strong enough, you can trample and control others' destinies at will," Du Ge said slowly. "Why do I seek sainthood, why do I merge with the Dao, if not to control everything and make everyone serve me?
I can take you with me, that's my benevolence. You being useful to me means you still have value, and you should be grateful for that.
As those in power, you should have understood this long ago. Why, when it applies to you, can't you understand?"
This time, the Demon Emperor surprisingly did not refute Du Ge.
Du Ge looked around at everyone and continued, "This time, dividing the celestial court is for the benefit of all races. But ultimately, it's because sainthood requires more spiritual power and resources.
And most importantly, I want to take you beyond, to walk the same path as I have."
"What path?" Ziwei Emperor asked.
"To seize the Keywords of Pan-Universal Entertainment and become the ruler of the multiverse," Du Ge said.
The Underworld Emperor's eyes suddenly opened.
The Demon Emperor looked at Du Ge in surprise.
Gulp!
Bai Da swallowed lightly.
"Ruler of the multiverse?" Taixuan Emperor murmured. He had once heard Du Ge say there was no good or evil above the Heavenly Dao, but hadn't taken it seriously. Now, the fire in his heart was reignited.
"Yes, transcendence," Du Ge's face was filled with madness and confidence. "Living in this world for millions, even tens of millions of years, you've enjoyed everything there is to enjoy. Aren't you tired of it?
Demon Emperor, Underworld Emperor, even if you break free from the Celestial Emperor's constraints and become Celestial Emperors yourselves, so what?
Aren't you still trapped in this world, cultivating endlessly, day after day, year after year? Until one day, another hero from another race rises to overthrow you, and then another calamity ensues. How is that different from your current life?"
"Pan-Universal Entertainment is powerful, and I need allies. Sainthood is the minimum standard, and you can also step out of this world, see a broader universe, and become true powerhouses," Du Ge continued. "That's my goal. Otherwise, I've already become the Heavenly Dao. Even if I dominate your world, so what?"
"Do we still need to become saints?" the Demon Emperor asked.
"With my help, sainthood is not difficult," Du Ge smiled at the Demon Emperor and said, "Becoming a saint is best, but even if you don't, you can learn from me. Possess an Alien Star warrior, and you can successfully master a law. Experience several Alien Star Battlefields, and the laws you master will increase..."
Indeed.
This was Du Ge's true purpose.
Realizing his soul was incomplete and that there might be no opponents in the next Alien Star Battlefield, he began to find ways to increase his opponents.
There was nothing more suitable than these quasi-saints, emperors, Great Golden Immortals, and demon kings as Alien Star warriors.
Moreover.
They could be warriors and also allies.
The companions on Qi Yuan Star were too weak. Even though they were sincere, they couldn't really help with Pan-Universal Entertainment.
Du Ge believed that as long as the people at Pan-Universal Entertainment weren't foolish, they would agree to his plan and then open up the conditions for body possession.
Once they lifted the restrictions on souls, perhaps his true self could escape and remain in this world, controlling the perfectly crafted body.
"Human Emperor, do you intend to harm us?" the Underworld Emperor asked. "Everyone knows Pan-Universal Entertainment can observe events through the perspective of Alien Star warriors. If we possess them, wouldn't we become slaves to Pan-Universal Entertainment?"
"Then do as I do, send out an avatar," Du Ge laughed. "If the avatar dies, it dies. It doesn't affect the true self."
"I don't have your ability to send out an avatar that can act independently," the Demon Emperor snorted.
"Then become a saint!" Du Ge said. "Afraid of wolves ahead, tigers behind, you're only fit to rule in this world. I've openly shared the plan, and the Alien Star Battlefield hasn't ended, proving Pan-Universal Entertainment is considering it. What are you afraid of? If you really can't send out an avatar, possess with your true self, and escape this world. You might find another opportunity."
The Demon Emperor frowned and said no more.
Emperor Changsheng, Taixuan Emperor, and others seemed visibly tempted.
"Gentlemen, Pan-Universal Entertainment seeks ratings and novelty. They invade other worlds at will, mastering many laws. You consider yourselves quasi-saints, rulers of a realm, but in their eyes, you're probably nothing," Du Ge said. "On your own, when can you escape this universe? Using Pan-Universal Entertainment's hand is a shortcut to escape this prison."
"Senior, what if we die?" Ziwei Emperor asked.
"A new toy isn't discarded until it's fully played with," Du Ge laughed. "If the Emperor is worried about the Alien Star Battlefield, with your abilities, even if you possess with a split soul, you wouldn't fear the Alien Star warriors thrown into the battlefield with you, would you?
I'm just an avatar, without any supernatural power, yet I easily took first place in so many Alien Star Battlefields, suppressing everyone."
Ziwei Emperor's eyes flickered, then he lowered his head, lost in thought.
"Gentlemen, each time you enter an Alien Star Battlefield, you can master a law. There's no easier way to become stronger," Du Ge continued to entice. "There are still hundreds of Alien Star warriors in the human world. In this war with the celestial court, you should focus on pushing them to the front lines, cultivating their abilities, and then proceed with possession to instantly master a law.
Of course, if you don't want to take risks, after cultivating them, find a way to strip the Keywords from them for your own use, that's also a method.
However, even I haven't found a way to strip Keywords from others, so the success rate of this method may not be high...
In short, the protagonists of this calamity should be the Alien Star warriors."
...
"Pfft! Du Ge is really going all out for Pan-Universal Entertainment's ratings, guiding them online on how to plan the game..."
"The entire Planning Department of Pan-Universal Entertainment combined doesn't have as many tricks as Du Ge."
"The little guy is trying to save his life. An invincible person would make the whole game boring. He's probably worried about being shelved, so he's desperately adding variables to the game."
"I have to say, he really came up with a good idea. Turning the strong of these worlds into Alien Star warriors is much more interesting than turning their world into a Simulation Field."
"Those guys won't listen, will they?"
"The temptation of the law, Du Ge has considered all the issues."
"I don't know why, but I really believe now that Du Ge might actually be an incarnation of some world will."
"I strongly suggest letting the strong of these worlds return by possessing Alien Star warriors. This is really a novel game mode. The original Alien Star warriors are no longer worthy opponents for Du Ge."
"When they come out, they'll be Du Ge's allies, right?"
"Once they enter the Alien Star Battlefield, they won't have a choice. With Pan-Universal Entertainment's abilities, controlling them is a piece of cake..."
"I like a game full of variables."
...
Pan-Universal Entertainment Headquarters.
Ross felt a mix of emotions. He oversaw the entire Alien Star Battlefield, and apart from the twelve Alien Star warriors from Qi Yuan Star arranged by the Dao Ancestor, the remaining Alien Star warriors were far inferior to Du Ge.
He was worried about what kind of opponents to arrange for Du Ge in the next Alien Star Battlefield. Judging by Du Ge's performance, even adding Alien Star warriors with attribute affinity might not pose a threat to him...
Unexpectedly, Du Ge thoughtfully provided him with an irresistible solution.
That guy really managed to control everything within the game.
Sometimes, Ross felt that his position as general manager should be given to Du Ge.
If Du Ge were to plan the Resource Game, the ratings would definitely skyrocket!
"Ross, I think Du Ge's suggestion is worth considering. Why not let the Technical Department loosen the control over the souls of Alien Star warriors a bit?" said Hod, the head of the Planning Department.
"Ross," said Gao Qiao, the head of the Technical Department, nodding, "this is easy to achieve."
"Then do it!" Ross's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly.
"Ross, if the strong in the Alien Star Battlefield all turn into Alien Star warriors, do we still need to harvest after the Alien Star Battlefield ends?" asked Adan, the head of the Marketing Department. "Are we going to simulate the souls of those strong individuals through technical means? I even suspect that such a Simulation Field would have no players."
"Let's talk about it after the Alien Star Battlefield ends!" Ross said, feeling disheartened, and he silently added in his heart, you damn well should ask Du Ge about this...
"Ross, Adan's words just gave me an idea," Hod said enthusiastically. "Over the years, we've accumulated many Simulation Fields.
Why don't we extract the most powerful soul seeds from those Alien Star Battlefields, restore their consciousness, and then send them to the Alien Star Battlefield for a real competition?"
"Hod, are you joking? These guys hate us. Who would follow our arrangements if we put them in the Alien Star Battlefield?" the head of the Marketing Department said.
"In the face of death, I believe they would agree," Hod said, becoming more excited. "We can make promises to them that if they win in the Alien Star Battlefield, they will be allowed to regain their freedom or even join our company."
"Ross, Hod has a good idea this time," Gao Qiao said. "Many Simulation Fields are no longer selling, and the audience is familiar with those game characters. They would pay for their nostalgia. The previously open voting for Alien Star warriors and the mental power cultivation given to them can also be arranged."
"This is a good idea," said the head of the Casino Department. "Many people have played the Simulation Field, and there should be many who would blindly bet on their favorite characters. Du Ge certainly doesn't know that all his opponents have been replaced with the strong from previous worlds. It's a surprise..."
Ross rubbed his temples and said, "Adan, put this proposal on our forum to solicit opinions from the audience."
