World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others -
Chapter 638: The art of imperial control
```
Who would believe you!
The Celestial God King muttered in his heart.
But when he saw Harry and the others clearly moved, and the goddesses with tears in their eyes, touched by Du Ge, he sighed silently and abandoned the idea of persuading Du Ge to commit suicide.
A strong person possesses a firm will.
He knew Du Ge would never commit suicide; everything he said was merely to sow discord between Du Ge and Harry and the others, planting a thorn in their hearts.
However, it seemed his efforts were in vain.
The imprint Du Ge had left on them had completely influenced their thoughts, and perhaps even their intelligence...
Nevertheless.
Du Ge's goal piqued the Celestial God King's interest; the keywords were more powerful than the Seed of Humanity..."What do you plan to do?" The Celestial God King shifted the topic smoothly.
"Before cracking the backdoor left by Pan-Universal Entertainment, find and kill all Alien Star warriors with powerful keywords," Du Ge said, "or limit their growth."
"There will always be those blinded by immediate benefits; what you're suggesting is unrealistic." The Celestial God King glanced at Du Ge, saying, "Moreover, eliminating an Alien Star warrior like you isn't easy."
"Celestial God King, we're back to our previous discussion." Du Ge smiled, "Unifying the entire universe and integrating all high-end forces makes this task much simpler.
In the Alien Star Battlefield, Pan-Universal Entertainment has many restrictions, and your universe's civilization level isn't much weaker than theirs.
With everyone's intelligence combined, we can always find a way to counter them.
What we should worry about is Pan-Universal Entertainment continuously deploying Alien Star warriors."
"Du Ge, are you providing them with a method?" The Celestial God King knew Pan-Universal Entertainment constantly monitored every Alien Star warrior's actions and words. He frowned and asked.
That's right.
I am providing them with a method.
Du Ge thought to himself. This Alien Star Battlefield was unusual, and he couldn't fathom what Pan-Universal Entertainment was up to. All he could do was enhance his strength and test Pan-Universal Entertainment's attitude towards him.
Having Pan-Universal Entertainment deploy more Alien Star warriors would create more chaos in this civilization, and since he was the cause of this chaos, the power would feed back to him.
Moreover.
The more Alien Star warriors deployed, the less likely Pan-Universal Entertainment would end the battlefield.
Du Ge's biggest worry was Pan-Universal Entertainment suddenly ending the Alien Star Battlefield.
If that happened, he might be forced to go to war with Pan-Universal Entertainment.
After exposing his cards, Du Ge no longer trusted any promises from Pan-Universal Entertainment.
Putting himself in their shoes.
If a mutant pig appeared among the pigs he was raising, he would certainly capture it for thorough research...
Du Ge didn't want to be dissected and studied. In his heart, this was his last Alien Star Battlefield.
He didn't want to gamble on the elusive luck of being favored by Pan-Universal Entertainment.
"God King, put your mind at ease." Du Ge wouldn't reveal his true thoughts to anyone. He smiled, "Pan-Universal Entertainment's goal is to make the entire game more exciting.
Frankly speaking, with you and me joining forces, we've already secured the victory in this game. To make it more exciting, the best way is to add unstable elements, and deploying new Alien Star warriors is the lowest-cost option.
Moreover, previous Alien Star Battlefields only involved one planet, making them relatively easy to harvest. This time, with so many civilizations in the universe, the existing Alien Star warriors are far from enough, so they will definitely deploy more..."
"More Alien Star warriors mean our universe will face greater danger. Is this your brilliant idea?" The Celestial God King interrupted Du Ge, his face darkening, "You're clearly helping Pan-Universal Entertainment, not us."
"God King, you've witnessed the power of keywords. Don't you want to go further?" Du Ge laughed, taking out the Seed of Humanity, "Keywords are much stronger than the Seed of Humanity. Opportunities and risks coexist. More Alien Star warriors mean more opportunities, more chances to study keywords."
"..." The Celestial God King looked at the Seed of Humanity in Du Ge's hand, remained silent for a moment, and asked, "Aren't you afraid they'll deal with you for openly targeting Pan-Universal Entertainment?"
"If they wanted to deal with me, they would have done so already." Du Ge shook his head, "They're very arrogant, thinking they have everything under control and won't care about our small actions.
From the beginning, I expressed my desire to escape Pan-Universal Entertainment. Later, I even revealed my identity as the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, but they didn't care. They still threw me into the battlefield and even added many new companions for me, like Janice and the others.
In Pan-Universal Entertainment's eyes, everything we do is just a futile struggle, like enjoying the fun of a cat playing with a mouse..."
Perhaps they didn't care before, but this time is really different.
Du Ge sighed again in his heart. With over twenty skills, the balance of the Alien Star Battlefield was severely affected.
However, despite his obvious exposure, Pan-Universal Entertainment remained indifferent. Who knew what they were thinking?
The Celestial God King fell into thought. Du Ge made a lot of sense, but he didn't trust Du Ge at all. He was used to considering issues from his own perspective.
He was more worried about Du Ge than the continuous deployment of Alien Star warriors.
Du Ge's power was so immense that if his soul were replaced, he would be the first to suffer from their cooperation.
What would he do then?
The Celestial God King was full of inner conflict.
The most correct approach was actually to cooperate with the Zorn God King, the First Saint, and other strong figures of this world to jointly resist external enemies.
But in the current chaotic state of the universe, gaining their trust was too difficult.
He didn't know when the universe had become so unmanageable.
The Celestial God King took a deep breath, looked at the Seed of Humanity in Du Ge's hand, and said, "Du Ge, if I agree to cooperate with you, can you let me use the Seed of Humanity? Like how you used it to decide all superpowers at once."
"Of course, but I don't recommend it." The Seed of Humanity slowly rotated in Du Ge's palm as he spoke, "I've absorbed all the mist from the Seed of Humanity, and it hasn't recovered yet. If you use it now, you might only awaken one or two superpowers. My personal suggestion is to wait, sort out the universe's affairs, and use it to enhance your abilities after the Seed of Humanity has recovered for a while."
"Awakening one or two is fine." The Celestial God King didn't fall for Du Ge's grand promises and instead seized the opportunity.
"If the God King insists, I don't mind." Du Ge pushed the Seed of Humanity towards the Celestial God King, smiling, "Cover the Seed of Humanity with your palm, and I'll activate the mist. The more mist you absorb, the more superpowers you'll gain."
"No need for you, I can activate the mist myself." The Celestial God King was extremely cautious, "Also, I need an absolutely quiet and safe place to use the Seed of Humanity."
"Does the God King not trust me?" Du Ge asked with a smile.
"I don't trust Pan-Universal Entertainment." The Celestial God King changed to a more tactful expression.
Having been a God King for many years, he naturally knew that during the awakening of the Seed of Humanity, the body would undergo intense pain to adapt, lowering all defenses.
If Du Ge were to attack and imprint a fish character on him, he would completely lose himself.
The Celestial God King would never allow such a thing to happen.
Thinking of this, a sense of desolation inexplicably surged from the Celestial God King's heart.
Clearly, this was his God King, and everyone around was his, so why did he feel like an outsider?
"Then let's wait!" Du Ge retracted the Seed of Humanity, "I don't trust the God King either. If you run off with the Seed of Humanity, I'd suffer a huge loss. Let's wait until we've established some trust before considering using the Seed of Humanity to enhance our strength!"
"..." The God King looked seriously at Du Ge and nodded, "What do we do next?"
"Take down the Zorn God King and the First Saint, and turn them into our allies." Du Ge said, "With the two of us joining forces, they probably won't dare to confront us directly.
Now that the matter of Pan-Universal Entertainment has been exposed, it's the best opportunity. After we issue a challenge, you secretly contact the Zorn God King and the First Saint, saying that during the war, you'll join forces with them to ambush me. Once they fall for it, we'll join forces on the battlefield and take them down..."
"Aren't you afraid I'll really join forces with them?" The Celestial God King had a peculiar expression.
"Then you join forces." Du Ge laughed, "I consider myself important to Pan-Universal Entertainment. When I'm outmatched, I think someone from Pan-Universal Entertainment will take over my body."
The Celestial God King was stunned.
"Thousands of years ago, you repelled the saint of the Rad God Clan. A month ago, you waged war for the Seed of Humanity, initiating a conflict with the Zorn God Clan." Du Ge shook his head, "God King, ask yourself, even if they agree to join forces with you, do you really trust them?"
"..." The Celestial God King.
"Besides, there are other Alien Star warriors around them." Du Ge added with a smile, "Compared to them, cooperating with me means fewer concerns. Even if I were possessed by Pan-Universal Entertainment, your worst-case scenario would be like Janice and the others, having your soul extracted and thrown into the next Alien Star Battlefield.
Then you'd have more opportunities to study keywords, just like I used my avatar to actively enter Pan-Universal Entertainment.
The top strongmen of the previous Alien Star Battlefield actively possessed Alien Star warriors for this opportunity. They're not afraid, so why are you?
God King, with your intelligence, understanding the principles of keywords shouldn't be difficult. Are you really so afraid of failure, afraid of death? Or are you clinging to your power, making you afraid to take the next step?"
The Celestial God King frowned.
"Fire God, God of War, Martial God, Earth God... now they are all under my command. With their assistance, your remaining fleets can't escape my control."
Du Ge looked at the Celestial God King with pity and said, "Even though you don't want to admit it, I still have to tell you, your power is already lost. Besides your own value, God King, you actually have nothing left to lose..."
"You..." The Celestial God King stood up abruptly, glaring at Du Ge, and his domain unfolded in an instant.
"Embarrassed and angry?" Du Ge countered sharply, a mocking smile on his lips, "God King, whether I stay or leave, I'm your only chance.
Even if Pan-Universal Entertainment descends, creating equality among all beings, I'm still your only chance. Among all the Alien Star warriors, I'm the only one who can help you break free from Pan-Universal Entertainment's control."
The Celestial God King looked at Du Ge, saying nothing, but eventually, he dispersed his domain: "You win, I agree to cooperate with you. But I hope you don't break your promise. Otherwise, even if I'm turned into a soul by Pan-Universal Entertainment and thrown into the Alien Star Battlefield, I'll always oppose you. I don't believe you can always randomly get excellent keywords."
Then you might be disappointed!
Because my keywords aren't just one!
Du Ge smiled, "Pleasure to work with you, God King. Let's join hands and defeat Pan-Universal Entertainment together."
Saying this.
He tossed the Seed of Humanity, "Go, find a place you consider safe to enhance your strength. Come back when you're done, I'll be waiting here."
The Celestial God King reached out to catch the Seed of Humanity, disbelief in his eyes.
He had thought of many ways to obtain the Seed of Humanity, but never expected Du Ge to hand it over so easily...
He knew this was the art of imperial control, but a touch of emotion still rose in his heart.
Damn it!
No wonder everyone in Du Ge's records who met him would follow him loyally. His skill in controlling people far exceeded his own!
He didn't even need any charm keywords...
"Let's wait!" The Celestial God King threw the Seed of Humanity back to Du Ge, "The Seed of Humanity is just icing on the cake for me. Let's first discuss how to deal with the Zorn God King and the saint of the Rad God Clan!"
Taking the Seed of Humanity now would mean he had completely lost.
The Celestial God King was unwilling and decisively resisted the temptation, so he could betray Du Ge with a clear conscience in the future...
Even though he never cared about credibility!
"Alright." Du Ge smiled and nodded, putting away the Seed of Humanity as if nothing had happened, "It's just as well I'm not familiar with the high-end forces of this world, so it's good to discuss in advance..."
...
Rad God Clan.
The Dao Ancestor was also explaining to the First Saint: "Saint, I've already explained my origins. I came seeking transcendence and entered the Alien Star Battlefield voluntarily. Whether civilization is destroyed or turned into a game, I don't care.
Pan-Universal Entertainment entering the scene is also an opportunity for the saint, isn't it?"
The First Saint was always shrouded in black mist, never revealing his true face. He didn't respond to the Dao Ancestor's words but instead asked, "What do you think of the battle between the Celestial God King and Du Ge?"
"With Du Ge's abilities, the two of them will definitely cooperate," the Dao Ancestor affirmed, "So we must unite with the Zorn God Clan to kill Du Ge in one fell swoop. Du Ge already possesses combat power comparable to a God King. Killing him now, even if Pan-Universal Entertainment descends, will make it easier for us to handle. The breakthrough point has always been on Du Ge."
"We?" The First Saint chuckled, "If Pan-Universal Entertainment descends, you'll be summoned back. Are you confident you can stay here?"
"Perhaps." The Dao Ancestor pondered for a moment.
"Kill Du Ge and inherit his power?" the First Saint asked.
"Yes." The Dao Ancestor nodded, "The saint devours Du Ge's soul, and I gain Du Ge's attributes through keywords. Together, we might both achieve the Hunyuan Dao fruit..."
"Why should I share with you?" the First Saint asked.
"Because Pan-Universal Entertainment is strong enough that one person can't fight it alone," the Dao Ancestor said, "The saint has vested interests with the strong figures of this universe, and cooperating with me is most beneficial. If we can find the source of the keywords, then it's each to their own..."
