World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 616: Hunyuan Dao fruit

Acting is one thing, but the fight was real.

Birmingham held a breath of frustration, while Du Ge wanted to measure the gap between himself and the universe's top combat power.

In the previous world, Du Ge had slaughtered his way through, unifying the three realms.

Yet he knew there was still a gap between him and the Dao Ancestor.

In this world, there were beings even more formidable than the God of War.

For instance, those innate deities and the mysterious person who helped Kaska steal the Seed of Humanity.

The Seed of Humanity was a sacred relic of the Zorn God Clan. Du Ge couldn't believe that a mere space portal and a few lackeys could steal it. The difficulty was probably akin to pulling down the God King's pants.

For five hours, Du Ge and Birmingham were evenly matched.

After five hours, Birmingham gradually began to fall behind.

After all, he was merely a demigod skilled in combat, while Du Ge possessed several types of innate divine power.

In space, Dark God power and God of Light power coexisted.

Dark God power had corrosive and sluggish effects. Even though Birmingham had strong resistance, Dark God power was still innate divine power. As their battle dragged on, the Dark God power gradually invaded Birmingham's body, slowing his movements and making it hard for him to keep up with his combat instincts.

Continuing the fight would only lead to inevitable defeat.

Realizing this, Birmingham grew more anxious, yet he felt a bit relieved about the agreement he had reached with Du Ge.

Otherwise, he would not only gain nothing but also risk his reputation here.

Du Ge, however, was dissatisfied with the battle's outcome.

Too slow.

If it took this much effort to fight a God of War, what would he do against those higher-level innate gods?

Moreover, the God of War ship hadn't even intervened.

If the God of War ship decided to target the emperor stars with full firepower, perhaps only he would survive. Without a planet to rely on, finding a second civilization in the vast universe would be nearly impossible.

Both his personal strength and that of his allies were still too weak.

Fighting at the level of a God of War should be resolved in a few rounds, if not instantly...

...

In the end.

The battle between Du Ge and Birmingham ended in a draw.

In front of everyone, Birmingham used the excuse of preserving the emperor stars to coerce Du Ge into handing over the Seed of Humanity.

Du Ge chose to compromise, merging his ragtag group with the God of War ship.

Both sides were pleased, but in truth, everyone had their own frustrations.

...

The internal space of the God of War ship was vast, as if a planet had been hollowed out, divided into numerous layers, each housing various warships.

Besides warriors, there were more intelligent robots responsible for labor.

They cultivated and raised resources inside the ship, providing top-notch services for the soldiers of the God of War ship.

One could say the God of War ship was a microcosm of a world.

As long as there was enough power, it could sail through the universe for tens of thousands of years without any issues.

Edward and other mutants from the emperor stars who followed Du Ge aboard the God of War ship were amazed by its internal structure. These country bumpkins were like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, exclaiming in awe at every new sight.

...

Richard Wood and others wanted to leave with Du Ge, but he refused.

However, Du Ge assured them that the safety of the emperor stars would not be compromised. Once he gained real power, he would return to the emperor stars to lead them to new heights, encouraging them to focus on technological development.

Reluctantly, the leaders bid farewell to their Supreme God and returned to the emperor stars.

Having witnessed what a truly advanced civilization looked like, the leaders of the emperor stars were no longer content to rule over a small, primitive planet. Each was determined to rapidly develop a space civilization, hoping to one day enter the interstellar stage and support their Supreme God.

Du Ge obtained a set of spaceship construction technology suitable for the current level of the emperor stars from Birmingham, casually laying down a strategic move, and took Edward and a group of mutants most suited for space combat aboard the God of War ship.

For Du Ge, the emperor stars were just his beginner village, a task to help him familiarize himself with this world. Now that its mission was complete, the universe was his true stage.

...

The Celestial God Clan warriors were unaware of Birmingham and Du Ge's secret agreement.

But no one dared to treat the group from the wastelands as captives.

Everyone showed Du Ge the respect he deserved; not many could fight the God of War to a draw. With Du Ge's combat power, his future position was assuredly above theirs.

Du Ge, with his charismatic nature, quickly bonded with the warriors aboard the God of War ship, building his grassroots support.

Janice, indifferent to all this, leisurely sipped a glass of wine, either admiring the beauty of outer space or letting her gaze wander over the handsome men and beautiful women of the Celestial God Clan, seemingly searching for a match.

She was in high spirits.

Though her personal strength was not yet formidable, she had found the combat style most suited to her, and that was enough.

At least Du Ge wouldn't abandon her now.

Birmingham occasionally found Janice's gaze particularly perplexing, but with so many people around, he couldn't discuss the matter of Emperor One with her.

After all, falling in love with a planet was nothing to be proud of, but ever since leaving the emperor stars, Birmingham's gaze hadn't left Emperor One, and he even secretly saved many images of Emperor One.

Until he could no longer see Emperor One, the reluctance and farewell in his heart faded significantly, but whenever he thought of it, a trace of inexplicable sadness would still arise.

...

The God of War ship crossed the first space node, and all communication devices were restored.

The Celestial God Clan warriors quickly busied themselves, receiving information from all directions and preparing for any sudden situations.

Birmingham reported the situation of the Seed of Humanity to the God King, mentioning his promise to Du Ge.

The God King watched the battle footage between the God of War and Du Ge, acknowledged Du Ge's combat prowess, and generously titled him the "Wasteland God of War," temporarily placing him under the God of War's command, promising to officially enfeoff him and allocate territory once they safely escorted the Seed of Humanity back to the Celestial God Clan.

Du Ge expressed his utmost loyalty to the God King, professing his admiration for the Celestial God Clan and earnestly vowing not to disappoint the God King's expectations. He promised to bravely take the lead in the upcoming war against the Zorn God Clan, making the title "Eastern God of War" well-deserved.

Birmingham watched the performance in awe.

Then, citing the possibility of interception by the Zorn God Clan, he requested reinforcements from the God King, who agreed without suspicion.

Everything was unfolding exactly as Du Ge had planned, without a hitch.

After cutting off contact with the God King, Birmingham looked at Du Ge, who had resumed his calm demeanor and was smiling at him. Birmingham, almost involuntarily, nodded, and the seed of ambition in his heart grew significantly.

...

The largest communication network in the universe was called the Star Network, controlled by several god clans, with signal nodes spread across all high-civilization gathering places.

All civilizations in the galaxy could post information on it, making it a massive public platform.

At this moment.

News on the Star Network still revolved around the Seed of Humanity.

There was information about Du Ge's auction, threats from the Zorn God Clan, and a huge bounty on the black market for the Seed of Humanity...

Currently.

The latest news was released by the Sain Mercenary Group: "The Celestial God Clan's God of War, Birmingham, and the Guardian God of the Emperor Stars battled for a day and a night. Ultimately, the two reached an agreement, with the Guardian God of the Emperor Stars joining the Celestial God Clan, and the God of War, Birmingham, obtaining the Seed of Humanity."

This news, freshly released, immediately caused an uproar.

Almost every comment below was about the impending war between the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan.

Everyone was on edge.

Everyone knew what the Seed of Humanity meant to the Zorn God Clan, and the Celestial God Clan obtaining it meant war was inevitable.

Sure enough.

Not long after the news of the Seed of Humanity being obtained by the God of War was released.

The Zorn God Clan issued the strongest response: "We hope the Celestial God Clan will voluntarily return the Seed of Humanity, or else the Zorn God Clan will directly declare war on the Celestial God Clan."

The wording was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

This was expected by everyone.

Before Du Ge could respond, the God King of the Celestial God Clan arrogantly issued a declaration of war, with just three words: "Bring it on."

Simultaneously with the God King's response.

Du Ge awakened his second chaotic skill:

Source of War: The scale of the war you provoke is proportional to your attribute growth.

After awakening the second skill.

Even though the two civilizations had not yet truly gone to war, Du Ge's attributes had already doubled.

As expected.

Creating chaos among multiple civilizations had a far greater impact than on a single primitive planet.

Du Ge felt that if he were to fight Birmingham now, he could probably take him down in a few rounds. Divine power might not break through Birmingham's armor immediately, but physical strength could...

...

In the God of War ship's command room.

A massive star map was filled with space nodes and the distribution of major civilizations.

"God of War, the general of the Zorn God Clan's first fleet, Rhett, is skilled in assaults. The 456th space node in the Dana star system will be our first encounter point with the first fleet, and the second encounter point is at the 487th space node."

The first chief of staff, Kaire, highlighted two coordinates on the star map, saying, "Regardless of which coordinate? Rhett will choose a delaying tactic to trap us. As long as they hold us for two days, the Zorn God Clan's third fleet will arrive. Once two fleets encircle us, we'll be trapped with no escape.

Therefore, the most correct strategy should be to break through at all costs. As long as we pass through the 456 and 487 space nodes, we'll have more routes to choose from, especially here, where we have the 879, 1098, and 895 space nodes to choose from. As long as Rhett makes a wrong judgment, no one can stop our return."

"Good." Birmingham glanced back at Du Ge and instructed, "When we encounter the Zorn God Clan's first fleet, no one should linger in battle. Focus all firepower on breaking through. Kaire, inform the God King of our battle plan and have the reinforcements meet us at the 336th space node."

"Yes." Kaire responded.

At this moment, the communications officer looked up: "God of War, we just received news that the Zorn God Clan's second, seventh, and eighth fleets have set off simultaneously, heading towards three different space jump routes. No matter which route we take, we may encounter one of them."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The star map of the God of War ship showed more than a dozen new bright points.

Three bright points moved towards their direction, while the remaining points all converged towards the star system where the Celestial God Clan was located.

The Celestial God Clan shared all intelligence systems, and all combat units would synchronize the latest battlefield situation they learned.

Kaire looked at the star map and frowned: "God of War, it seems the Zorn God Clan is determined to obtain the Seed of Humanity. Our reinforcements may not be able to support us in time."

Birmingham looked at the star map and smiled slightly, "We just need to break through all the way forward, and the rest can be left to the God King. We must trust in the God King's wise decisions. With the Seed of Humanity in our possession, he will surely find a way to support us."

Du Ge looked at the chaos on the star map, feeling the rapid increase in his attributes, his expression calm. The battlefield situation changed rapidly, and before a real confrontation, everything was just a cloud.

Moreover, the other Alien Star warriors hadn't made a move yet.

The Underworld Emperor, Demon Emperor, and various bosses in the Simulation Field were all on this battlefield. Three months was enough time for them to adapt to their Keywords. With a great war looming, they couldn't possibly miss the excitement.

...

The Rad God Clan was stationed atop the cosmic tree.

The so-called cosmic tree was not an actual tree but a vast galaxy that happened to form the shape of a tree.

The Rad God Clan was born in this galaxy. They were neither the natural god system of the Celestial God Clan nor the acquired god system like the Zorn God Clan, which relied on the Seed of Humanity for growth.

They were a unique race that grew through cultivation.

The Rad God Clan pursued the Dao fruit.

Different Dao fruits represented different laws. Condensing a Dao fruit was called a sage in the Rad God Clan.

Ten thousand years ago, the Rad God Clan produced their first sage, whose name is now forgotten.

The first sage's Dao fruit was called the Great Void Heavenly Net, mastering the Dao of Space.

Using the Dao of Space, he ventured beyond his planet and single-handedly established the Rad God Clan, widely spreading the art of cultivation.

The first sage once thought he was the first in the universe, destined to unify all civilizations, until he encountered the Celestial God Clan, which had existed for an unknown number of years, during his conquests.

The two sides engaged in a war lasting a century, ultimately resulting in the Rad God Clan's first sage being suppressed back to their current territory by the Celestial God Clan.

Originally, the Celestial God Clan intended to completely conquer the Rad God Clan, but the Zorn God Clan emerged as a formidable force during their conflict, using their strength to hold the Celestial God Clan in check.

This led to the current balance of power.

However, for thousands of years, the Rad God Clan had not made any further advances, nor had they engaged in large-scale wars with the Celestial God Clan.

At this moment.

In the Rad God Clan's sacred hall.

All the holy beings who had achieved Dao fruits were also watching the war between the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan.

These holy beings all sat cross-legged, with three flowers gathered atop their heads, exuding a mysterious aura.

One of them, an elder with white hair and beard sitting on a lotus, said, "Teacher, the Seed of Humanity has been taken by the Celestial God Clan, and war with the Zorn God Clan is inevitable. Should we seize the opportunity to ally with the Zorn God Clan and eliminate the Celestial God Clan? I believe this is the best time for you to achieve the Hunyuan Dao fruit."

"The time is not yet ripe."

On the highest throne in the sacred hall, a figure shrouded in darkness, whose face was indistinguishable, spoke. His voice seemed to come from all directions, "Three months ago, there was a spatial fluctuation, indicating an alien invasion. Even I sensed it. The God King of the Celestial God Clan couldn't have missed it, yet he took the opportunity to launch a war against the Zorn God Clan. There must be something fishy. Let's wait and see."

Meanwhile.

On a planet under the Rad God Clan's dominion.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with silver hair and elf-like ears was following various information about the war between the two god clans through the Star Network.

After a while.

She suddenly shook her head, stood up, and gazed at the vast starry sky, sighing, "Du Ge, you were right. Beyond the sage is the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, with no regard for state of mind.

In this world, let's see who between you and me will first achieve the Hunyuan Dao fruit.

Only by achieving the Hunyuan Dao fruit can we shatter the void and truly find the location of Pan-Universal Entertainment.

Since you've started, let me add fuel to the fire for you..."
