World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 596: Win-win situation

Can we escape?

Du Ge sighed inwardly. Pan-Universal Entertainment truly didn't care about him at all!

Thinking about it, it made sense.

A company that navigates so many universes and treats civilizations as playthings, how could they possibly care about a beast kept for performance?

Even if this beast jumped out of its cage and took down one of their employees, so what?

As long as it hasn't escaped the gladiatorial arena, it's still just a beast. As long as it can make them money, killing one or two employees probably doesn't matter!

However...

The next Alien Star Battlefield might really be his last chance.

Du Ge knew in his heart that he was Pan-Universal Entertainment's money tree. The greater his influence on the Alien Star Battlefield, the higher his chances of going to Pan-Universal Entertainment and surviving.

If he caused the game field to collapse, what awaited him might be the so-called soul dissection...

Moreover, Du Ge didn't trust Pan-Universal Entertainment's promises.

If he were in Pan-Universal Entertainment's position, he wouldn't let go of such an excellent employee either. Only by squeezing out all his remaining value would he let go.

Let an old employee who has given his all retire with benefits?

Don't even think about it.

Strength, only with the strength to overturn the table, can one truly control their own destiny...

Pan-Universal Entertainment is strategizing, and so is Du Ge.

The world powers like the Underworld Emperor and Demon Emperor seeking breakthroughs are his chess pieces. As long as they grow, having them as allies, why not fight against Pan-Universal Entertainment?

Du Ge had already verified by beating Bai Long earlier that Pan-Universal Entertainment, which uses mental power as a trading currency, might really not have its own body.

Bai Long's body was possessed.

The Pan-Universal Entertainment employees who entered the Alien Star Battlefield to clear it also relied on bodies refined by Alien Star warriors using Keywords...

This was probably not a coincidence.

Previously, Du Ge thought it was more convenient for Pan-Universal Entertainment to deploy souls.

Now it seems, it's probably because they don't have bodies that they developed the technology for remote soul deployment.

The skills brought back by Alien Star warriors returning from the battlefield are random, and the chances are very small.

In other words, the beings of Pan-Universal Entertainment, existing in the form of mental power, likely can't use the laws of Keywords.

Or rather, they can only use awakened skills by relying on the bodies of Alien Star warriors.

Like Bai Long, who doesn't seem to possess many Keyword skills.

Every time he brings out all the skills of the second Keyword, it's likely a special case.

As long as he goes to Pan-Universal Entertainment in a complete form, rather than as mental power, relying on the combination of over a dozen skills, he might succeed in escaping...

So far, the skills he has mastered have accumulated to nineteen.

...

Outside the base.

Nan Youlong looked at the returning warriors, beaming with joy, "Gao Ming, Du Ge wasn't left behind by Bai Long again, was he? Tell me, what was the situation on the Alien Star Battlefield this time? Was it first place again?"

"With Du Ge there, it's definitely first place." Gao Ming didn't speak; another Alien Star warrior spoke first, "Chief Nan, you don't know how dangerous this Alien Star Battlefield was, and how awe-inspiring Du Ge was. Let me tell you, if it weren't for Du Ge, all the Alien Star warriors would have been wiped out. I'm not talking about Qi Yuan Star, I'm talking about everyone."

"Yeah! Pan-Universal Entertainment went crazy, suddenly raising the standards of the Alien Star Battlefield so high. Chief Nan, we were only on the Alien Star Battlefield for a few days, and I watched the numbers of Alien Star warriors drop rapidly, and I was dumbfounded. Fortunately, Du Ge warned us to play it safe at the start, otherwise, not many would have survived until Du Ge rose..."

"Chief Nan, can you guess how high our mental power is now? I'll tell you, it'll scare you."

"What happened?" Nan Youlong asked in shock.

Everyone started talking about the difficulties and gains of the Alien Star Battlefield.

Only Gao Ming, Yin Erfei, Yu Xia, and other Alien Star warriors familiar with Du Ge occasionally glanced back at the exit.

Feng Chang, possessed by Dao Ancestor, He Yan, possessed by Demon Emperor, Zhou Ronghe, possessed by Underworld Emperor, and Peng Jing, possessed by Emperor Changsheng, also didn't speak.

They were adapting to their new bodies, feeling the environment of this new world.

This was their first time in the outside world, and even though each of them was a great power in their own world, in this unfamiliar world, they couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

Especially since this world lacked the spiritual power they were familiar with, which meant they could only use their souls...

Moreover, Dao Ancestor and others had quietly verified that most magic couldn't be used here.

Clearly, the rules of the two worlds were different.

This only heightened their fear.

After all, the matter of body possession shouldn't be hidden from Pan-Universal Entertainment, and with Du Ge not around, no one knew what would happen next...

...

"Eighty-three million?" Nan Youlong was stunned by the mental power number Hu Yu mentioned, stammering, "How is that possible? How can your mental power be so high?"

"The cultivation technique from the Alien Star Battlefield can enhance mental power." Hu Yu said proudly, "Du Ge is the master of the three realms, with all kinds of pills supplied for free. Plus, with the Alien Star warriors' physiques modified by Keywords, our cultivation progressed rapidly, and by the time we came out, our mental power was naturally this high."

"When I exited, I checked the interface, and my mental power was over ninety million."

"I'm not as good as you guys, only over sixty million."

Listening to these astronomical numbers, Nan Youlong looked at the more than eighty Alien Star warriors who returned alive, swallowing hard to moisten his dry throat.

At this moment.

He had only one thought in his mind: the sky over Qi Yuan Star was about to change.

Back then, Hua Guyun's mental power of 1.53 million already made him a legend, an idol for over a hundred years on Qi Yuan Star, and his mental power was only over seventy thousand...

Mental power can subtly change the body's structure; the higher the mental power, the faster the transformation process.

With tens of millions of mental power, it wouldn't be long before the world would have a group of superhumans.

Now they still called him Chief Nan, but once they realized their capabilities, would they still treat him with such respect?

These guys controlled the fate of the planet; who could restrain them?

Their mental power was already tens of millions; what about Du Ge, who unified the three realms?

How high must his mental power be?

Nan Youlong's mind was in turmoil, unable to hear what they were saying...

Wait!

The Alien Star warriors coming off the battlefield had such high mental power?

And they were all under twenty-five?

What about the next Alien Star Battlefield?

How could new Alien Star warriors with only a few hundred mental power compete with them?

Nan Youlong suddenly thought of a more serious problem.

All along, Qi Yuan Star relied on victories in the Alien Star Battlefield to win food.

But now the difficulty standard of the Alien Star Battlefield had been raised so high?

How could they continue to play?

They couldn't possibly train Alien Star warriors with such high mental power!

Could it be that the Alien Star Battlefield would have nothing to do with them from now on?

Cold sweat broke out on Nan Youlong's back.

If they couldn't bring benefits to Pan-Universal Entertainment, Pan-Universal Entertainment would probably abandon them immediately, find a new planet, and train new Alien Star warriors!

And before leaving, they certainly wouldn't be kind enough to help them restore the environment!

Is the apocalypse coming?

Nan Youlong wiped the sweat from his forehead, unable to stand still for a moment, urgently wanting to report the latest situation to the higher-ups.

"Chief Nan, what's wrong?" Hu Yu asked with concern, "Are you scared by our mental power?"

"..." Nan Youlong looked at everyone, taking several deep breaths to calm his emotions, "Everyone, follow me to the plane and explain everything that happened on this Alien Star Battlefield to the President in detail. Something big might really happen this time."

"What big thing?" an Alien Star warrior asked curiously.

"Yeah, with Du Ge around, what big thing could happen?" Hu Yu laughed.

"The rules of the Alien Star Battlefield keep changing, and your mental power is already tens of millions. The level of the Alien Star Battlefield will only get higher. Where will Qi Yuan Star find so many Alien Star warriors of your caliber to go to the battlefield?" Nan Youlong glared at them, saying, "When there's no one left to use, will Pan-Universal Entertainment still care about us?"

"..." Everyone was stunned, only now realizing the mismatch in combat power.

"Chief Nan, are you saying that when Du Ge retires, it means Qi Yuan Star will be abandoned by Pan-Universal Entertainment?" Hu Yu asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, what good is your high mental power?" Nan Youlong snorted, annoyed, "How many times can you go to the battlefield? Even if you win ten or twenty years of resources, once abandoned by Pan-Universal Entertainment, Qi Yuan Star is doomed..."

Gao Ming and the others exchanged silent glances, saying nothing.

Everyone followed Nan Youlong onto the plane, and Nan Youlong connected with the President via video call to explain the situation.

In fact, at this moment, the President was even more panicked than Nan Youlong.

Just now, all the Simulation Fields were forcibly shut down, and all the candidates were kicked out.

The sudden situation caused an uproar among the public.

Moreover, after this Alien Star Battlefield ended, the instant replay hadn't been released yet...

...

"The Simulation Field was forcibly shut down?" Nan Youlong asked in shock.

"Yes! We haven't received any notification from Pan-Universal Entertainment," the President said. "I issued a notice under the guise of Pan-Universal Entertainment upgrading the Simulation Field to temporarily calm the public's emotions. Now, with the mental power of the warriors coming off the Alien Star Battlefield reaching tens of millions, the problem likely lies here..."

"Damn, even the Simulation Field was shut down. Could Pan-Universal Entertainment really be abandoning us?" an Alien Star warrior said.

"But there's still Du Ge. Pan-Universal Entertainment wouldn't abandon us and Du Ge, right?"

"I survived the battlefield and gained such high mental power, just planning to enjoy life. Could it be that I only have a few years left to live?"

"Damn! I thought having Du Ge was a good thing for Qi Yuan Star, but it turned out to be a fast track to the apocalypse..."

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe Pan-Universal Entertainment is just making technical adjustments!"

"Exactly, there's still Du Ge. Du Ge talked with Bai Long for so long; maybe it was about this!"

"Once Du Ge returns, everything will be clear."

Gao Ming and the others exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.

"Gao Ming, what do you want to say?" Nan Youlong noticed Gao Ming and the others' expressions and asked.

"Chief Nan, what if, I mean, what if Du Ge doesn't come back? What should we do?" Gao Ming took a deep breath and said.

"..." Nan Youlong was stunned, asking, "What do you mean?"

"Du Ge has always wanted to escape Pan-Universal Entertainment's control. In fact, we all want to escape Pan-Universal Entertainment's control," Gao Ming said with a wry smile. "In this Alien Star Battlefield, Du Ge ruled the three realms, wielding immense power, almost making things happen with a word, yet he hasn't come out of Pan-Universal Entertainment's base..."

"Are you saying Du Ge stayed on the Alien Star Battlefield?" Nan Youlong's mind buzzed, almost exploding.

The cabin fell silent.

Even the President on the video call was left with his mouth agape, dumbfounded.

The Underworld Emperor and Demon Emperor exchanged glances, feeling a bad premonition. If this were true, they would have been tricked!

Dao Ancestor's avatar frowned. After his avatar possessed a body, he lost contact with his main body and had no idea what happened afterward.

However, he instinctively didn't believe Du Ge was just an Alien Star warrior.

How could an Alien Star warrior have such supernatural power?

"I didn't leave."

Suddenly.

A voice rang out, and Du Ge's figure suddenly appeared among them.

The moment Du Ge appeared, the oppressive atmosphere in the cabin was instantly released, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts settling back into place.

"Du Ge, I knew you wouldn't abandon us!"

"Long live Du Ge."

"Old Du, you've unified the three realms, yet you still can't escape Pan-Universal Entertainment's control?" Gao Ming asked in shock, "Pan-Universal Entertainment is just too..."

"Quiet," Nan Youlong gestured for silence, looking at Du Ge, and asked, "Du Ge, what did Bai Long say to you? Is it related to the next Alien Star Battlefield?"

"Yes," Du Ge nodded, "The next Alien Star Battlefield is a multiverse with different civilizations, very large in scale. We might be assigned to different civilizations, making it unlikely to rely on each other, and we'll have to fight alone..."

"Damn, it's a multiverse?" Gao Ming's eyes widened, "Pan-Universal Entertainment can even control a multiverse? No wonder you became the Human Emperor and still couldn't escape Pan-Universal Entertainment's control?"

"Doesn't that mean the next Alien Star Battlefield level will be even higher!" Hu Yu said, "Damn it, won't they let us live!"

"Du Ge, if there's a chance on the next Alien Star Battlefield, will you leave?" the President's voice suddenly came from the video, asking.

At this, everyone turned to Du Ge, waiting for his answer, the cabin filled with the sound of heartbeats.

"I will." Du Ge's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on the President, and he nodded affirmatively.

On the screen.

The President seemed frozen, wanting to smile, but his mouth twitched without making a sound.

The cabin fell into a deathly silence.

"Du Ge, are you really the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao?" Hu Yu asked.

"Yes," Du Ge looked at Gao Ming, saying calmly, "The real Du Ge died in the first Simulation Field, and I took over his body, which led to everything that followed."

The Underworld Emperor and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"..." Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes. He didn't dare to meet Du Ge's gaze and suddenly lowered his head.

"I knew it." Nan Youlong looked at Du Ge, speaking bitterly, "How could a student from a civilian academy suddenly rise to prominence, forcing Pan-Universal Entertainment to repeatedly change the rules..."

"Du Ge, by doing this, you've harmed everyone on our planet." An Alien Star warrior looked at Du Ge, tears in his eyes, stammering, "If you leave, Qi Yuan Star will have no value, what will happen to the over ten billion people living here? They see you as a hero..."

"Yeah, even the Simulation Field is shut down now," Hu Yu said, "Pan-Universal Entertainment is already planning to abandon us."

"Du Ge, can you not leave?" an Alien Star warrior asked, "I don't want to die."

Sigh!

Nan Youlong sighed heavily, looking at Du Ge, unsure of what to say.

Things had developed to this point, and Qi Yuan Star no longer had the qualifications to negotiate with Du Ge...

Du Ge looked at everyone, shaking his head with a smile, "Why panic? I've regained some supernatural power, and in the coming time, I'll transform Qi Yuan Star's geographical environment, allowing it to revive. Without Pan-Universal Entertainment, you can still survive. Do you really have to wait for others to give you charity?"

At these words.

Everyone was stunned.

"Really?" The President stood up excitedly, eyes wide, asking incredulously, "Du Ge, don't lie to us."

"I'm not lying to you. My coming here created a cause and effect with you. Since I arose because of you, I will naturally repay you and resolve this cause and effect," Du Ge looked at the President, smiling calmly, "This is what you deserve."

The Heavenly Mandate was brought out, and Du Ge wanted to solidify the setting of being the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. The people of Qi Yuan Star were naturally his believers, so why not make use of it?

This was a win-win situation.
