World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 591: Cut through the confusion with a sharp knife

The Yuan Sheng Heavenly Lord and others strictly followed the strategy set by Gao Ming, dividing their forces into three groups to attack the Western Ling Feng Continent, Eastern Divine Continent, and Northern Sacred Continent.

Of course.

They didn't completely abandon the celestial soldiers who were relocated by the Demon Emperor, as Gao Ming had suggested.

The Heavenly Official Emperor and the Demon-Suppressing Xuan Zhen Heavenly Lord led a million celestial soldiers to the Southern Zen Continent to support the trapped celestial soldiers.

Only by doing so could they hold back the main forces of the allied armies of the three tribes in the Southern Zen Continent.

With millions of years of accumulation, the celestial court lacked neither manpower nor various magical resources.

Thousands of layers of celestial nets were set up, and even if the Demon Emperor and Underworld Emperor joined forces, they were confident they could hold them off for three to five days.

However, the two Heavenly Lords underestimated the role of the Alien Star warriors in battle...

Caught off guard, in less than half an hour.

The allied armies of the three tribes had tens of thousands more captives.

Realizing they couldn't counter the skills of the Alien Star warriors, the Heavenly Official Emperor and the Demon-Suppressing Xuan Zhen Heavenly Lord wanted to escape, but ultimately couldn't.

The Underworld Emperor, carrying Fu Qiao, chanted scriptures in their ears, forcibly halting the three of them...

This maneuver left the Celestial Emperor and Queen Mother, who were secretly watching, stunned once again.

In less than a day, the celestial realm lost the Heavenly Official Emperor and three Heavenly Lords, a loss that even the vast celestial court couldn't bear.

The Celestial Emperor and Queen Mother, being quasi-saints, couldn't break through the shielding of the equally quasi-saint Demon Emperor and Underworld Emperor to eavesdrop like the Dao Ancestor could.

So, they didn't know Du Ge's arrangements, but they knew that if the battle continued like this, they might end up with no bargaining chips left.

With the Alien Star warriors joining, the way of warfare had changed beyond recognition, and relying on Gao Ming and others to command the army against the allied armies of the three tribes was a fool's dream.

They should be on the battlefield as warriors, not hiding in the command tent like turtles.

After some discussion, the Queen Mother went to intercept the Demon Emperor.

The Celestial Emperor recalled all the Heavenly Lords attacking the other three continents, explained the situation, and then returned first, heading straight for the command tent of Gao Ming and others.

At this moment.

Gao Ming and others had also received the battle report from the Southern Zen Continent and were conducting the final analysis of Du Ge's intentions.

"Old Gao, Du Ge took down the celestial court's people in just a few moves; it doesn't seem like he's trying to extend the battle line!" Yin Erchuan said, "Did we fall for the Dao Ancestor's trick?"

"..." Gao Ming was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you think Du Ge has already found a way to escape Pan-Universal Entertainment, and that's why he's sweeping through the three realms?"

"Should we lend Du Ge a hand..." Yu Xia was eager, her eyes shining with excitement. As Du Ge's comrade, she had no desire to be his enemy.

While Gao Ming and others were talking, they used the cloud umbrella given by the Dao Ancestor to shield themselves from external prying.

But the Celestial Emperor, having absolute control over the Jianmu, heard their conversation as soon as he approached within its range.

He was momentarily stunned.

What did this mean?

Gao Ming and others were on Du Ge's side?

Weren't they sent by the Dao Ancestor?

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor had long been colluding with Du Ge to plot against him, the Celestial Emperor?

The Celestial Emperor's mind was a tangled mess, and even after cultivating for tens of millions of years, he couldn't figure out what was going on at this moment.

Twilight tribulation?

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor intended to sacrifice him and the Queen Mother to quell the twilight tribulation?

The Celestial Emperor's face was uncertain, and at this moment, he even showed signs of going mad, feeling as if everyone was plotting against him.

Kill!

Kill all the Alien Star warriors in the tent, and then eliminate Du Ge's Alien Star warriors, and surely someone would come out to explain to him...

The Celestial Emperor squinted his eyes, harboring murderous intent in an instant.

Unable to figure out what was happening, he decided to cut through the confusion with a sharp knife.

Although his cultivation level was not as high as the Dao Ancestor's, he held the Tongtian Jianmu, making it not easy to kill him...

What nonsense about Pan-Universal Entertainment?

What twilight tribulation?

His initial decision was correct; if he had eliminated these Alien Star warriors from the start, there wouldn't be so many troublesome issues now.

As for eliminating Du Ge and not being able to resolve the twilight tribulation, at worst, as Du Ge said, they could stir up a catastrophe every now and then.

Previously, the future was unclear, but now that Du Ge had passed down the method to become a saint, by eliminating those who obstructed him, he would one day become a saint in this world.

If he could merge with the Dao, he could also transcend this world like Du Ge.

His fate would not be controlled by others...

At this moment, the Celestial Emperor's wavering heart suddenly became firm.

With a wave of his hand.

Countless bolts of lightning enveloped the command tent, and at the same time, with a thought, he had already restricted the flow of spiritual power around the tent.

If it had been a moment earlier.

This sneak attack by the Celestial Emperor would have left Gao Ming and others in the tent severely injured if not dead.

After all, they were hastily made Great Golden Immortals, while the Celestial Emperor was a quasi-saint, and they were within the shadow of the Jianmu, where the Dao Ancestor's bestowed treasures ultimately couldn't compare to the innate Jianmu that became the Celestial Emperor's life treasure.

But perhaps due to Du Ge's various slanders under the Heavenly Mandate, the Celestial Emperor's luck was too poor.

When he returned, the Dao Ancestor's avatar had just possessed Feng Chang.

Feng Chang was the most alert, sensing the Celestial Emperor's intent, and seeing the defenseless Gao Ming and others, he sighed inwardly and urgently activated the Dao Ancestor tokens in everyone's hands.

The moment the lightning fell, twelve tokens formed a net, perfectly blocking the lightning outside.

The command tent, however, was shattered by the lightning.

Gao Ming and others looked up to see the Celestial Emperor standing in mid-air, black hair flying in the wind, surrounded by lightning.

"What the hell is going on?" Gao Ming and others were dumbfounded.

"What else could it be? We've been discovered!" Yin Erchuan said, "Brothers, don't think too much, let's fight our way out and join Du Ge."

"That damn Dao Ancestor really screwed us over," Zhang Desheng said.

"Not really, if it weren't for the Dao Ancestor's tokens automatically protecting us, we would have been done for just now," Feng Chang awkwardly defended the Dao Ancestor.

"All soldiers, listen to my command. Gao Ming and others have colluded with the Human Emperor. Gather all your strength to eliminate them," the Celestial Emperor ordered, his voice precisely reaching the ears of every celestial soldier and general.

The Water Official Emperor, the Earth Official Emperor, and the two Heavenly Lords, Xuan Zhen and Wan Fu, appeared instantly, attacking Gao Ming and others.

At the same time.

Celestial soldiers and generals took their positions outside the Jianmu, setting up celestial nets to prevent Gao Ming and others from escaping.

Under the Jianmu, the spiritual power of everyone under the Celestial Emperor doubled, while the power of Gao Ming and others as Great Golden Immortals was forcibly suppressed...

If not for the twelve Dao Ancestor tokens still being maintained by Feng Chang above their heads, they would have been wiped out at the first encounter.

However.

To conceal himself, the Dao Ancestor only sent one avatar to possess.

He could only rely on the spiritual power within Feng Chang, and to avoid being detected by Pan-Universal Entertainment, he didn't even plan to use more sophisticated supernatural powers.

"Brothers, don't panic, transfer your power."

Gao Ming laughed heartily, activating two skills simultaneously.

In his vision, all the celestial soldiers and generals suddenly began to sway, some spells and arrows were shot out unexpectedly, causing significant friendly fire.

At the same time.

The spiritual power within those celestial soldiers and generals, whose cultivation level was lower than theirs, was involuntarily absorbed into their bodies.

The Matthew effect of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer created a terrifying suction.

In a short time, many True Immortals were exhausted of spiritual power and fell from the clouds, and even the higher-level celestial generals were not spared, their spiritual power depleting rapidly, leaving them shocked and terrified.

The formation they had just set up instantly fell into chaos.

"Kill first..." The Celestial Emperor, knowing their skills, naturally understood what was happening and was about to order Gao Ming to be killed first.

But he only managed to say two words before the rest of his command was choked back, unable to utter another word.

Abruptly halted—Yin Erchuan's skill.

The Celestial Emperor, annoyed, knew he couldn't let Gao Ming continue, so he flipped his hand and threw down his Celestial Emperor's Seal.

The Celestial Emperor's Seal expanded with the wind, growing larger than a mountain in the blink of an eye, crashing down on the Dao Ancestor's twelve tokens.

Boom!

With a loud crash.

The Dao Ancestor's twelve tokens shattered, and the protective net exploded.

Following closely, Yu Xia's cloud umbrella also shattered.

The cloud umbrella was their only defensive treasure.

With both defensive treasures broken, they were instantly exposed to all attacks.

Lightning, ice blades, Samadhi True Fire...

Nearly blocking all their escape routes.

Fortunately, they were ultimately of Great Golden Immortal cultivation, supported by Gao Ming's skill.

Their spiritual power remained abundant, allowing them to barely hold on even in the storm.

But continuing like this, they wouldn't last long.

Skills awakened by keywords like wonder, redemption, enlightenment, and sarcasm might have miraculous effects in one-on-one situations.

But on a battlefield of bullets and arrows, even controlling one or two people wouldn't make much difference.

The Water Official Emperor, the Earth Official Emperor, and other Great Golden Immortals had also become smart, flashing back and forth on the battlefield, not allowing themselves to stay in Gao Ming and others' line of sight.

Yu Xia tried to use her skill of embracing all rivers between herself and the Celestial Emperor, but after using the skill, there was no effect.

The skill of embracing all rivers would forcibly resolve hatred between two people.

The reason it failed was likely because there was no hatred between them.

It made sense; it wasn't a war involving national righteousness, so how could there be hatred between them?

For example, even though she was fighting the Celestial Emperor now, deep down, she felt that everything happening was normal and couldn't bring herself to hate the Celestial Emperor.

The other side wasn't Pan-Universal Entertainment.

With no hatred, repaying evil with good naturally couldn't be used.

"Old Yin, your keyword is hatred, find a way to create hatred between the Celestial Emperor and us," Yu Xia said, "With hatred, we can resolve it."

Yu Xia's tolerance and Yin Kaiyun's hatred skills could be linked.

"I can't locate the Celestial Emperor," Yin Kaiyun said anxiously, "All I see is lightning, I can't find where the Celestial Emperor is."

"Think of a way, whose skill can still be used, the Celestial Emperor is too strong," Gao Ming said anxiously, holding a purple-gold gourd, absorbing the surrounding water and fire, dodging lightning, "If this continues, none of us will be able to escape."

"I can't make eye contact with the Celestial Emperor either. The Celestial Emperor knows our skills and must have precautions..." Zhang Desheng, who had the keyword deep affection, said, "Damn Dao Ancestor, if it weren't for him, we would have joined Du Ge long ago, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"If only Du Ge knew our situation, he would definitely come to save us," Yin Erchuan cursed with a bitter smile while struggling to hold on, "Damn Dao Ancestor, making us hide our identities, really screwed us over."

Every time someone cursed the Dao Ancestor, Feng Chang remained silent.

His main body knew what was happening here, but he didn't plan to intervene.

Just an avatar, if it died, it died, at worst, he could possess another Alien Star warrior from Qi Yuan Star.

Interfering with the Celestial Emperor's actions could very well expose himself.

After all, there were many Alien Star warriors, and if Gao Ming and others died, it might even provoke Du Ge's anger towards the Celestial Emperor, making this game even more exciting...

He also wanted to know if Du Ge had any hidden cards.

The Dao Ancestor had secretly observed all the Alien Star warriors, but he couldn't figure out what Du Ge's skill was.

Deep down, he actually leaned towards the idea that Du Ge was truly an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao from another world...

The Dao Ancestor had his own ambitions, hoping to advance further and break through the current world's limitations.

...

At this moment.

Du Ge was at Mount Sumeru, persuading the Heavenly Official Emperor and the three Heavenly Lords, trying to obtain their cultivation techniques to further refine his Dao resonance.

The Heavenly Official Emperor and others, having inexplicably suffered a setback, naturally didn't show Du Ge a good face.

No matter how eloquently he spoke, even successfully inciting their hatred towards the Celestial Emperor with his skill of relentless criticism, he couldn't get them to reveal their cultivation techniques.

Inciting their hatred towards the Celestial Emperor didn't make them trust him...

For a moment, Du Ge even had a murderous intent towards these stubborn ones, wanting to directly use blood magic to absorb their cultivation for his own growth.

Just as he harbored murderous intent, the commotion from Taixuan Cave Heaven suddenly alerted him.

What was happening?

The celestial army was in chaos?

Du Ge hesitated for a moment, then flashed to the Underworld Emperor's side: "Hasn't the Demon Emperor returned yet?"

The Underworld Emperor shook his head.

"The celestial army in the Central Extreme Continent suddenly fell into chaos, is it possible that the Demon Emperor is trapped under the Jianmu?" Du Ge said uncertainly.

His perception came from the people.

From the people's perspective, they could only see thunder rumbling in the sky, fireballs and lightning raging, with no idea what was actually happening.

"The celestial army is in chaos?" The Underworld Emperor was taken aback and asked.

"The battle is quite fierce," Du Ge said, "Let's go take a look. There are Alien Star warriors on the celestial side too. If the Demon Emperor is indeed trapped, we can also provide some assistance."

"Under the Jianmu, our strength will be weakened," the Underworld Emperor said, "If the Demon Emperor is truly trapped, then the Celestial Emperor and Queen Mother must have acted together."

"Then it's even more necessary to go and see," Du Ge said, "The Demon Emperor cannot die. If the Primordial Banner falls into the Celestial Emperor's hands, we'll be at a disadvantage. It's also a good opportunity to see what supernatural powers the Celestial Emperor's Alien Star warriors possess. The Demon Emperor can still resist, so it's likely not a control-type supernatural power..."

"Who should we take?" the Underworld Emperor asked.

"Che Shouchun, Qi Wei, Fu Qiao..." Du Ge said, "Taking those three will be enough."

"I'll go too," the Taixuan Emperor suddenly emerged from the shadows, "Blood magic is unaffected by the Jianmu, and I need more blood and energy."

The Taixuan Emperor had initially planned to pick up the leftovers on the battlefield.

But the battles ended in an instant twice in a row, and Du Ge didn't allow him to absorb the captives' blood and energy, which had almost driven the Taixuan Emperor crazy.

He was still thinking about the prophecy of achieving three thousand saints in the catastrophe, relying on this wave of war to become a saint!

Once he became a saint, he would have the confidence to possess an Alien Star warrior while leaving his main body intact, even if the possession was controlled by Pan-Universal Entertainment, it wouldn't pose any danger...
