World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 622: Stir the water thoroughly

That makes so much sense!

What do we do if we're almost convinced by him?

Birmingham and the others were filled with inner conflict, their thoughts deeply conflicted. Most of them were more inclined to trust strangers than themselves or their loved ones.

Moreover, in the descriptions of Du Ge, it was noted that he was adept at using language to control people.

No one wanted to admit they were brainwashed, as it would make them feel they lacked independent thought.

"How do you prove what you're saying is true?" Birmingham stubbornly retorted.

"Birmingham, why should I prove it?" Du Ge looked at Birmingham and smiled, "If you feel controlled by me, you can leave anytime, return to the Celestial God Clan and be your God of War. Your thoughts and your body are always free. I can continue to work with Rhett and Cheson. Life's journey is long; people will join and leave along the way. As long as you stick to your choices without regret, that's enough."

With just a simple sentence, Du Ge erected a wall between Birmingham and Rhett, causing Rhett to fall into self-doubt.

Win over some, divide others.

The ancient art of managing people never goes out of style.

...

Leave?

Where would I go?

The God of War is mine!

Besides, the Seed of Humanity is still in your hands...

Everyone knows I obtained the Seed of Humanity. Are you asking me to leave to draw fire for you?

If I leave, what about Emperor One?

How can you be so heartless?

Birmingham looked at Du Ge, increasingly convinced that what people said about Du Ge was true. Once you're in his circle, you're left with only the path he chooses for you.

Because every other path is wrong.

The veins on his forehead throbbed, and he took several deep breaths to calm his emotions: "Kou Nan, no, Du Ge, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you."

Rhett and Cheson also realized this point, and an uncontrollable fear emerged from their hearts. The two exchanged a glance, and Rhett said, "Du Ge, you're right. We should strive for our future."

"That's more like it!" Du Ge looked around at everyone, nodding in satisfaction, "Everyone is an independent individual and shouldn't let outsiders interfere with your thoughts.

Whether a river is deep or shallow, you'll never get the right answer by listening to others. Only by crossing it yourself will you know the result.

If you doubt your choices because of a few words from others, you'll stray further from your original intention. When you achieve nothing in the future, will you blame yourself for listening to others?

By then, those who earnestly advised you might have forgotten their words or left. They won't be responsible for your life."

But you're influencing our thoughts too!

Everyone muttered in their hearts.

They wanted to argue but couldn't find the words because what Du Ge said made too much damn sense.

This feeling of questioning someone only to be convinced by them was really frustrating...

But their frustration quickly disappeared because the announcements from the Zorn God King and the Celestial God King were released almost simultaneously. The Zorn God Clan hoped Du Ge would become the God King, and the Celestial God King acknowledged Du Ge's achievements and identity.

The Alien Star warriors' provocations not only failed to harm Du Ge but also elevated his prestige to new heights.

At this moment, all of Du Ge's followers were utterly devoted to him because they realized everything was unfolding as Du Ge had predicted, and the things they hoped for might really succeed.

...

Thanks to the help of the Alien Star warriors, Du Ge's attributes once again soared dramatically.

In the previous world, Du Ge used divine power to enhance his physique, and with cultivation, he ultimately achieved a divine body.

This time, the chaos of the entire universe not only strengthened his physique but also fed back into his divine power...

Several types of divine power, driven by his physique, leaped upward together, but the most terrifying was his physical strength.

Previously, Du Ge needed to punch the Thunder's shield a dozen times to break it. Now, with a casual punch, the shield of a mothership like the Thunder would shatter instantly.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could crush stars with his bare hands. Of course, he could do it now, just less efficiently.

Du Ge never passively waited. Since his identity was already exposed, he had no more reservations.

Shortly after the two God Kings extended their invitations, Du Ge responded on the Star Network:

"I have a friend named Kaska. Just because his planet had Yawuru metal, the Zorn God Clan massacred his planet.

I come from another world, but I am a lover of life. Whether for those lost lives or my friend, I swear here and now that I will never serve the Zorn God Clan in this life.

And I will do everything possible to overthrow the high and mighty Zorn God Clan. This is my promise.

I call upon those planets once threatened or even enslaved by the Zorn God Clan to stand up at this moment and fight alongside me, an outsider, against the Zorn God Clan.

Additionally.

I want to thank the Celestial God Clan's God King on the Star Network for your trust in me. Although I won't stay in this world for long, I will make the name Thunder God of War resound throughout the universe.

I also want to thank the Rad God Clan's saint for your help to the Ballad race. Without your help, Kaska and his people couldn't have stolen the Seed of Humanity from the Zorn God Clan..."

...

A stone cast into the water stirred up a thousand waves.

Du Ge's declaration completely set himself against the Zorn God Clan.

The Zorn God King flipped the table in rage, confronting Du Ge head-on, threatening to tear him to pieces.

He also denied the claim that the Rad God Clan helped the Ballad race steal the Seed of Humanity.

The Zorn God King stated that the Rad God Clan was once oppressed by the Celestial God Clan, nearly facing extinction, and it was the Zorn God Clan's timely intervention that prevented their demise.

The Zorn God Clan and the Rad God Clan have always been allies.

Allies don't betray each other, so Du Ge was simply slinging mud...

In reality, there are no true allies between civilizations.

Thirty years ago, the theft of the Seed of Humanity was always suspicious.

Kaska and a few small fry from fallen planets couldn't possibly break through the Zorn God Clan's heavy defenses to steal the Seed of Humanity, yet they succeeded. If there was no help behind the scenes, it would have been impossible.

The first saint of the Rad Clan happened to master the way of space, and the Zorn God Clan's suspicions had always been on the Rad God Clan. They had been investigating secretly but lacked evidence and didn't want to make the loss of the Seed of Humanity public, so they hadn't waged war on the Rad God Clan.

Because if they started a war, the Celestial God Clan would surely intervene.

With the Seed of Humanity lost, if the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan went to war, the Rad God Clan, positioned below them, would reap the benefits. Du Ge's argument was actually quite realistic.

But at this time, they were locked in a fierce battle with the Celestial God Clan, and dragging the Rad God Clan into it would spell the Zorn God Clan's doom.

So, even if they firmly believed the Rad God Clan was the root cause of all this, the Zorn God Clan could only swallow their anger.

Once they retrieved the Seed of Humanity and ensured the Zorn God Clan's continuation, then it would be time to settle accounts with each race...

...

The Zorn God Clan's overtures to the Rad God Clan were ignored.

The first saint did not respond to any of the Zorn God King's inquiries about the Seed of Humanity. He only announced one thing: appointing Jocelyn as the Rad God Clan's chief executive officer, responsible for all political and economic affairs of the Rad civilization.

Upon taking office, Dao Ancestor Jocelyn immediately brought back to the table the theory he once proposed, "When two strong forces fight, a third is harmed," and requested to visit the Giant Clan to seek an alliance between the two clans, aiming to gain the most significant benefits in the war.

...

The Celestial God King was overjoyed upon seeing Du Ge's statement and immediately announced that more people would be sent to support the Thunder God of War and help the Ballad race and other civilizations oppressed by the Zorn God Clan seek justice.

...

While the world's situation was in chaos, a new message quietly spread on the Star Network:

"Du Ge has developed a method to acquire all the abilities of the Seed of Humanity, and Rhett and Cheson surrendered to Du Ge because of this."

"Acquiring all the abilities of the Seed of Humanity could allow one's power to surpass that of a God King, becoming the true master of the universe."

"Du Ge will eventually leave. As long as you get the method to activate all the abilities of the Seed of Humanity and the Seed itself before he leaves, there's a chance to become a true God King."

"Alien Star warriors and Keywords possess magical skills. By gathering more Alien Star warriors and utilizing their skill combinations, there might be a chance to defeat Du Ge and seize the Seed of Humanity before the Celestial God Clan."

...

"He who obtains the Seed of Humanity and Du Ge will rule the world."

This saying spread across the Star Network within just two or three days, reaching every civilization that could access the network.

In no time.

All civilizations were invigorated. The war between the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan was something they had no right to participate in.

But the Alien Star warriors' words gave them hope.

No matter what, they first sought out the Alien Star warriors. Keywords were so magical that perhaps they could indeed seize the Seed of Humanity before the two God Clans.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared...

In no time.

Alien Star warriors scattered across various civilizations became hot commodities once again.

...

The entire universe's situation rapidly descended into chaos within a few days, with Du Ge aggressively harvesting chaotic attributes.

This multiverse was incredibly powerful.

Pan-Universal Entertainment's setup on the Alien Star Battlefield this time was somewhat too grand, and Du Ge always felt there were many things not quite right.

But he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

It felt as if Pan-Universal Entertainment had lost control over the Alien Star Battlefield.

So far, all the previous rules on the Alien Star Battlefield had been abolished, including the top ten rankings and the last-place elimination system...

This wasn't normal.

To verify his thoughts and suspicions.

Du Ge decided to play his trump card, stirring the waters completely. In a pool of muddy water, all conspiracies and schemes would eventually surface.

Moreover, his keyword this time was chaos; the more chaotic the situation, the greater the benefits he would gain.

Previously, Du Ge had never tested the limits of his keywords.

This time, he planned to push it...

The Seed of Humanity created the Zorn God Clan, but the entire universe shouldn't have only one artifact...

Perhaps he could really use this universe to escape Pan-Universal Entertainment's control or even form a force to resist it.

...

Rad God Clan Temple.

The many sacred beings who had comprehended the Dao fruit were already too disturbed by the chaotic situation to remain calm.

The saint who had comprehended the Dao fruit of time asked, "Teacher, did you have anything to do with the Seed of Humanity?"

"No," the first saint replied, "I do have the capability, but doing so would draw the Zorn God Clan's wrath upon us, which would be detrimental to the Rad God Clan. Moreover, the Zorn God Clan also has a God King who masters space power. I couldn't silently send the remnants of the Ballad race in and steal the Seed of Humanity for thirty years without being detected..."

He paused for a moment, "There is a force in the universe we don't know about, influencing the development of various civilizations. Whoever orchestrated the loss of the Seed of Humanity has a mastery of space that surpasses mine."

"Teacher, do you know who did it? Is there someone in the universe with a greater mastery of space than you?" the saint who had comprehended the Dao fruit of fire asked in surprise.

The first saint said, "A hundred years ago, I sensed a space fluctuation. At that moment, I perceived the existence of another universe. When I arrived, all fluctuations had disappeared, and it was then.

I realized my understanding of the way of space was not profound enough. Only by possessing the power to break through the universe can one truly master the Hunyuan Dao fruit of space."

Gasp!

Everyone drew a sharp breath.

"So, a hundred years ago, you chose to gather us for seclusion," the time saint said.

"Yes," the first saint replied, "This silent invasion by Pan-Universal Entertainment, where they deployed Alien Star warriors without any space fluctuations.

This means the technology or divine power Pan-Universal Entertainment possesses far exceeds ours. The Dao Ancestor was right; Pan-Universal Entertainment's keywords are our breakthrough opportunity."

"So, you allowed Du Ge to slander you without any explanation," the saint of the fire Dao fruit said.

"Yes," the first saint replied, "The space fluctuation a hundred years ago left me confused about the Dao fruit, and the appearance of Pan-Universal Entertainment made me unable to see the world's direction. Our only option is to watch and wait. When everything evolves to the extreme, perhaps the truth will surface."

...

"Du Ge, why did you leak the news about the Seed of Humanity?" Janice asked leisurely, sitting beside Du Ge, "You know that doing so will bring us greater danger."

The Dark God power enveloped them, isolating all perception, allowing them to converse freely.

"If I don't do it, someone else will," Du Ge replied with a nonchalant smile, "Since that's the case, why not stir the waters myself? After all, we don't really plan to join the Celestial God Clan."

"Have you given up on your keyword?" Janice looked at Du Ge curiously and asked, "What you're doing now has nothing to do with freedom."

"Doing what I want, isn't that freedom?" Du Ge glanced at Janice, sighed, and said, "You're right, I'm trapped by freedom. A puppet controlled by Pan-Universal Entertainment, what right do I have to long for freedom?

Perhaps only when I truly break free from Pan-Universal Entertainment will I gain the skill of freedom!"
