World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 624: The end of cultivation is all demons

Dao Ancestor has fallen into the demonic path!

The Queen Mother looked at the Dao Ancestor, hesitant to speak.

She didn't know what to say.

After all, everywhere she looked, it was survival of the fittest, just like the jungle law Du Ge had described.

The gods of this universe wielded immense power but acted recklessly, never considering the balance between their mindset and strength. To them, life was as insignificant as dirt, to be trampled upon at will...

Pan-Universal Entertainment was no different.

What they had always done was treat all worlds as playgrounds and all beings as playthings...

Above the Heavenly Dao, everyone is a demon.

Perhaps, from the moment the Dao Ancestor tempted them to possess the bodies of Alien Star warriors in pursuit of transcendence, he had already fallen into the demonic path!

This thought suddenly emerged in the Queen Mother's mind, and how could they not have fallen into the same path?

If they could hold true to their hearts, how would they have ended up here?

Pursuing ultimate power is demonic, causing chaos in the world is demonic, corrupting hearts is demonic, tempting others to fall is demonic...

Could it be that the end of cultivation is demonic?

The Queen Mother's heart was filled with confusion.

However, at this point, it seemed she had no way out.

The Queen Mother looked at the Dao Ancestor again, a sense of vigilance arising spontaneously. Wasn't she just one of the many Du Ges cultivated by the Dao Ancestor?

Everyone is a demon, and one must be on guard.

The Queen Mother adjusted her mindset without showing any emotion and smiled slightly, "I will follow Dao Ancestor's arrangements."

...

"Why do you promote the idea that whoever possesses the Seed of Humanity and Du Ge will rule the world?" The God of Wisdom was tasked with investigating Pan-Universal Entertainment and traced a lead to an Alien Star warrior on a planet governed by the Celestial God Clan.

This Alien Star warrior was a young man in his twenties named Jian Luo.

He served as the mayor's secretary on the planet, known for his adept social skills. Everyone he interacted with was drawn to him, and all believed he was full of charm.

Thus.

In just a few months, Jian Luo rose from being a primary school teacher to the position of mayor's secretary.

"I've dealt with Du Ge many times, and from what I know of him, he must have been the one to spread this news initially," Jian Luo said. "Although he is now the Thunder God of War of the Celestial God Clan, in his eyes, everyone in this world is just a pawn.

He uses the Celestial God Clan to restrain the Zorn God Clan. When the Zorn God Clan is at a disadvantage, he will turn around and annihilate the Celestial God Clan to become the number one in the world."

"So, you promote this idea to encourage more people to take risks and oppose him?" the God of Wisdom asked.

"Yes, someone will definitely do that," Jian Luo replied confidently with a smile.

"Du Ge's current strength is formidable. He has gathered three fleets, and aside from the Zorn God Clan and the Celestial God Clan, weaker civilizations are like eggs hitting a rock when they encounter him," the God of Wisdom said. "And from all the information we have on Du Ge, he is also a very charismatic person. Most who oppose him eventually become his friends or subordinates, just like now. So, can I understand your actions as helping him?"

"Which God King are you?" Jian Luo suddenly asked, looking at the God of Wisdom.

"God of Wisdom, Tiffany," the God of Wisdom replied.

"Your wisdom is as brilliant as the stars in the sky, seeing through my plans at a glance," Jian Luo flattered with a smile. "But all your information comes from the Alien Star warriors, and there are inevitably omissions. Why don't I explain it to you?"

The God of Wisdom gestured for him to continue.

Judging a matter requires considering all aspects, and he knew too little about Pan-Universal Entertainment and the Alien Star warriors to draw correct conclusions.

His main purpose this time was to investigate Pan-Universal Entertainment thoroughly. The God King and various God Kings had their eyes on the Zorn God Clan and the Seed of Humanity, blinded by immediate interests.

Only he knew that the Pan-Universal Entertainment behind the Alien Star warriors was the most terrifying enemy.

"Other Alien Star warriors have exposed many things, and you must already know the rules of the Alien Star Battlefield. Previously, there were only three thousand Alien Star warriors, but this time there are as many as ten thousand," Jian Luo said. "But when it comes to the battlefield, our planet's quota is still three hundred people, meaning seven thousand people unfamiliar with Du Ge have entered the battlefield.

Pan-Universal Entertainment wants ratings, and these seven thousand are the variables. They do not fear Du Ge, and the more we build up Du Ge's momentum, the stronger their rebellious psychology will be, and they will definitely cause trouble for Du Ge."

"But they won't be a match for Du Ge," the God of Wisdom said.

"The skills of Keywords have miraculous effects. Who knows, Du Ge might just stumble," Jian Luo said.

"You're betting on an uncertainty," the God of Wisdom frowned. "You and Du Ge have the same goal, to stir this world into chaos."

"Great God of Wisdom, you've finally seen the truth," Jian Luo laughed. "Not just me, every Alien Star warrior's purpose is to achieve final victory for themselves. To win, they must eliminate their opponents by any means necessary. This world is destined to become chaotic."

"So, Du Ge is also aiming for the final victory?" the God of Wisdom sneered.

"No, he's different from us. In the initial Alien Star Battlefield, his goal might have been victory. In the first battlefield, he killed all but ten of the three thousand Alien Star warriors," Jian Luo said, crossing his hands with a faint smile as if lost in memory. "I always thought such a Du Ge had no weaknesses. He was ruthless, indiscriminate between friend and foe, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

But later, he became keen on strategizing and taming others. He wanted everyone to become a tool in his hands, just like you see now, with Birmingham, Rhett, and Cheson all becoming his subordinates. He became merciful.

He is indeed very powerful. Any Keywords in his hands can quickly push him to the peak, allowing him to control everything effortlessly.

Du Ge released the news to attract more Alien Star warriors to his side.

But he forgot that the Alien Star Battlefield is a life-and-death grave.

At this moment, he is full of weaknesses and is destined to fail.

After all, in this Alien Star Battlefield, even if Du Ge instigated the war, he still controls the overall situation. But in reality, every Alien Star warrior has their own space and time to grow..."

"You seem very determined to defeat Du Ge?" the God of Wisdom asked.

"Everyone wants to defeat Du Ge," Jian Luo said. "There just wasn't an opportunity before."

"What is your Keyword?" the God of Wisdom asked.

"Recommendation," Jian Luo replied.

"What use is that?" the God of Wisdom frowned.

"It doesn't seem useful, but in fact, it's precisely because of this Keyword that I can sit here and talk to you face to face," Jian Luo shrugged. "God of Wisdom, I've awakened a skill called 'Selection of the Worthy,' which allows me to easily see everyone's strengths and potential and recommend them to suitable positions."

The God of Wisdom was silent for a moment. "Can you see what strengths I have?"

"Great God of Wisdom, you're joking. Everyone knows you are renowned for your wisdom," Jian Luo laughed. "The position of God of Wisdom suits you perfectly."

"A useless ability," the God of Wisdom scoffed. "Many people, even without this ability, can still accurately identify and employ talent."

"You're right. With your wisdom, you can naturally do this easily," Jian Luo nodded in agreement. After a moment of silence, he said, "But my skill can see many things others can't..."

"Like what?" the God of Wisdom gestured for him to continue.

"For example, I see that you have the potential to become a God King," Jian Luo said frankly.

The God of Wisdom's expression changed immediately. "Don't talk nonsense."

"Great God of Wisdom, I'm just speaking the truth," Jian Luo said. "My wisdom is not outstanding; I see this through my skill."

"What is his specialty?" the God of Wisdom pointed to his guard.

"He has an extremely high combat value," Jian Luo glanced at the guard and said, "but he no longer has potential."

"Why?" the God of Wisdom asked.

"Three minutes ago, his potential was still high, but after I mentioned your potential to become a God King, his potential suddenly disappeared," Jian Luo said. "Great God of Wisdom, his fate is closely tied to yours. The higher your position, the better his future. The sudden disappearance of potential likely means he doesn't believe you will become a God King and will eventually be abandoned by you, or he might simply betray you!"

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't..." The guard's face changed dramatically, and he knelt down with a thud. "God of Wisdom, my loyalty to you is as clear as day and night. Don't listen to his nonsense; he's trying to drive a wedge between us."

"I'm not trying to drive a wedge between anyone," Jian Luo said. "In three months, I rose from a primary school teacher to the mayor's secretary, not only relying on ability but also sincerity. I understand your feelings, but I must be responsible to the God of Wisdom; this is my way of survival."

"God of Wisdom, I've followed you for many years and would never betray you," the guard said, glaring fiercely at Jian Luo in panic.

The God of Wisdom looked at Jian Luo.

Jian Luo shrugged and smiled. "Great God of Wisdom, I'm just providing you with what I see. The choice is yours."

"When you mentioned my potential to become a God King, regardless of whether you have a skill, his fate was already sealed," the God of Wisdom said, looking at Jian Luo. "Because you know, I won't let this word spread; it would be very disadvantageous to me."

The guard's face turned pale instantly, and he suddenly lunged forward. "I'll kill you."

But just as he got close to Jian Luo, he turned into an ice sculpture and then shattered into pieces. The God of Wisdom waved his hand, and the fragments disappeared without a trace, as if the guard had never existed.

The God of Wisdom looked at Jian Luo, his gaze icy. "You won your gamble."

"God of Wisdom, all decisions were made by you," Jian Luo said, pretending to be calm with a smile.

"Your heart rate is a third faster than before," the God of Wisdom glanced at him. "If another God King came to investigate Pan-Universal Entertainment, you'd tell him he has the potential to be a God King too, wouldn't you?"

"God of Wisdom, I haven't met other God Kings, so I wouldn't dare make such judgments," Jian Luo shook his head. "But you don't need to doubt me. You can investigate everything I've done in the past few months. Those I've recommended have indeed shown great ability in their positions."

The God of Wisdom looked into Jian Luo's eyes without speaking.

Damn it!

This old man is hard to deal with!

Jian Luo cursed inwardly and sighed. "God of Wisdom, you must have felt dissatisfaction with the God King, right?"

"Everyone harbors dissatisfaction with the God King in their hearts," the God of Wisdom said. "What you're saying is like the words of a fortune-telling charlatan, applicable to everyone."

"As expected of the God of Wisdom, nothing escapes you," Jian Luo shook his head helplessly. "Then I'll just be straightforward. In my heart, only the God of Wisdom is qualified to sit on the God King's throne. This world, where status is determined by force, is abnormal. Those obsessed with slaughter and conquest only bring disaster to this world."

The God of Wisdom quietly watched him, saying nothing.

"God of Wisdom, I think the God King doesn't care about Pan-Universal Entertainment, right? He's more interested in annihilating the Zorn God Clan," Jian Luo said.

"That's right," the God of Wisdom replied. "Stubbornness is a common trait of those at the pinnacle of power."

Got it!

Jian Luo exhaled lightly, nodding in agreement. "That's also their fatal weakness, just like Du Ge's weakness is mercy. These weaknesses will ultimately be their downfall."

The God of Wisdom remained silent.

"God of Wisdom," Jian Luo said seriously, "I will provide you with a few specific suggestions on whether you can become a God King. Whether you adopt them or not is up to you. Is that okay?"

"Okay," the God of Wisdom nodded.

"Firstly, this universe is already in chaos. Whether we like it or not, war will continue until a great person emerges to end it."

Jian Luo mimicked Du Ge's tone, trying to appear calm. "This person could be you, or it could be Du Ge, or it could be Jocelyn of the Rad God Clan, or another God King who awakens..."

"Do they also have the potential to be God Kings?" the God of Wisdom asked.

"Whether they have the potential, I'd have to meet them in person to know," Jian Luo smiled. "For now, I'm just talking about possibilities."

"Continue," the God of Wisdom gestured.

"But whoever it is, it won't be the current two God Kings," Jian Luo said. "Because they are too dazzling, their existence blocks everyone's path. Every Alien Star warrior, given the chance, will definitely take them down."

"You have no idea how powerful the God Kings are," the God of Wisdom scoffed, shaking his head.

"You don't know how powerful Pan-Universal Entertainment is," Jian Luo said. "No, in fact, the moment you took the initiative to investigate Pan-Universal Entertainment and were willing to listen to me, you already realized its power.

When all the gods are drawn into war, and you can use the investigation of Pan-Universal Entertainment to contact more Alien Star warriors, it aligns perfectly with the strategy of accumulating strength in secret.

Moreover, I have the skill of 'Selection of the Worthy,' which can help you identify and recommend beneficial Alien Star warriors.

These Alien Star warriors have no ties to any forces in the universe. They are clean and only need to win the game. After helping you achieve the God King position, they won't even need you to clean them up; they will all disappear..."

"You're contradicting yourself," the God of Wisdom suddenly interrupted. "You've been avoiding Pan-Universal Entertainment."

"God of Wisdom, in fact, Pan-Universal Entertainment only wants ratings," Jian Luo said. "Even when only ten people were left on the battlefield, they just ended the game and didn't intervene personally..."

"I don't believe it," the God of Wisdom said. "No civilization is ever obsessed with entertainment."

"That might be because I'm just a puppet and don't understand their behind-the-scenes activities," Jian Luo sighed. "God of Wisdom, I want to follow you to explore the secrets behind Pan-Universal Entertainment.

Whether you become a God King or not, I will do my utmost to help you.

In fact, my other purpose for promoting 'whoever possesses the Seed of Humanity and Du Ge will rule the world' on the Star Network is self-recommendation. Only in this way can I reach big figures like you, break out of this planet, and enter the real battlefield. I refuse to remain mediocre; I also want to win the final victory of the game..."
