World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 655: All the plans (Final)

Du Ge stepped into the accompanying universe, and in that instant, all the memories of his avatar were instantly shared with him.

In a flash.

Du Ge knew all the plans of Pan-Universal Entertainment and silently gave his avatar a thumbs-up in his heart. Even in a perilous situation, he had managed to find a way out for himself, which was very much his style.

At the same time.

The Governor precisely located the native body that Du Ge's avatar had possessed.

Without any visible action, the space around the native suddenly shattered, tearing the native's body into pieces along with it.

But Du Ge's speed in retracting his avatar was much faster. Just before the native's body shattered, the avatar, along with three trillion units of mental power and over two thousand skills, had already been reclaimed into his body.

Diligence, gentleness, open-mindedness, excitement, taboo, vitality, loneliness, green tea, engraving, subjectivity, deception, plundering, nobility, pain, harshness...

A string of keywords suddenly appeared on his already thin personal interface, with each keyword accompanied by two skills:

Diligence Makes Up for Clumsiness, Wearing the Stars and Moon, Overcoming Hardness with Softness, Gentlemanly, Embracing All, Humble and Open-minded, Heart-stopping, Heart-pounding, Rebirth of Withered Trees, Full of Life, Too Cold at the Top...

These skills were awakened by Du Ge's avatar, and at the moment of memory fusion, Du Ge instantly understood how to use these skills without needing to check their descriptions, naturally integrating them.

The quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and with all the skills gathered in one body, Du Ge's physical and mental state reached a profound and mysterious level.

Every cell in his body could split and regenerate into a complete individual, and his mental power, without the need for the Power of Faith, could cover the entire universe, reaching even the most remote corners in an instant.

He could even, with a single thought, manipulate the weather on a distant planet, extinguishing all life on it...

At this moment.

Du Ge felt like a god, with the rules flowing at his whim. Before breaking through the barriers of the universe, he had brought with him the bodies of many Alien Star warriors who had awakened skills, intending to use the skills hidden within their bodies.

But now, it was completely unnecessary. He himself was the embodiment of skills, not needing to deliberately choose which skill to use.

With a glance, Du Ge could discern who in front of him were natives and who were Alien Star warriors possessed by others.

Imprison, Annihilate!

With a slight movement of his divine sense, Du Ge replicated the skill the Governor had just used on his avatar.

In an instant.

Space collapsed, and over a thousand elites of Pan-Universal Entertainment, each mastering over twenty skills, turned to ashes with the space before they could even experience the power of their bodies. The Chairman of the Council of Pan-Universal civilization didn't even have time to recall their souls.

A collection of over two thousand skills against twenty skills was a dimensional reduction strike, leaving them with no ability to resist...

...

Seeing this scene, the Chairman exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

"There's nothing impossible." The voice of Du Ge's avatar came from the nearby speaker, with a hint of mockery, "Those people's skills were all derived from my body, and my strongest skills are the Power of Faith and the Heavenly Mandate.

These days, all their focus has been on me, leaving them no time to operate the keywords. Without the massive support of the Power of Faith and the Heavenly Mandate, how could they possibly be a match for the main body?

They haven't even expanded their influence to use the stirring of emotions. Facing the main body supported by the faith of two universes, how could those fools be his opponents? Rely on numbers? A thousand ants can't kill an elephant..."

"Du Ge, weren't you trapped in the Simulation Field? How can you speak?" The Chairman suddenly realized and questioned.

"Chairman, don't worry about how I can speak." Du Ge's avatar chuckled, "I want to talk to you."

"Talk about what?" the Chairman asked.

"Of course, about cooperation." Du Ge's avatar laughed, "Do you really trust the Governor? Do you really believe that after acquiring such a body, he would still be willing to let you stand on equal footing with him?"

"..." The Chairman was stunned for a moment, "Du Ge, we've been comrades through thick and thin for tens of thousands of years. Don't try to sow discord between us. This is the headquarters. Even with two thousand skills, you can't exert any power under the suppression of the Seed of Humanity. With your ten trillion mental power, you're no match for us."

"Chairman, you've misunderstood. I never intended to be your opponent. I'm here to talk about cooperation!" Du Ge's avatar continued with a smile, "And besides, do you really think the Governor can defeat Du Ge?"

"Why not? The Governor's mental power is at least twenty times that of Du Ge," the Chairman said.

"Then do you know why I chose to concentrate all my mental power on the obscure number 387?" Du Ge's avatar asked.

"Why?" the Chairman asked.

"Because he's obscure!" Du Ge's avatar laughed, "His keyword is resentment, and he's quite a detestable guy. He doesn't have a single bit of the Power of Faith, and among the two thousand skills, many rely on influence. His body has only undergone three days of keyword enhancement, making it extremely weak. The Governor's skills are the same as my main body's. How could he be a match for the main body?"

"…"

The Chairman and others' expressions changed drastically, hurriedly looking up at the screen.

Du Ge had already started fighting with the Governor. Wherever they went, space collapsed, and planets shattered one after another...

Even with mental power more than twenty times that of Du Ge, the Governor, whom they had high hopes for, could only defend against Du Ge's attacks without any ability to counterattack.

Their proud mental power was useless in this battle.

No.

It wasn't entirely useless. At least he could hold out for so long under Du Ge's attacks. If it were them, they probably wouldn't last a few rounds before dying.

"Did you plan everything?" Tu Shan, the chairman of Pan-Universal Entertainment, asked in shock.

"There are still some things I haven't figured out, but your response plans were all within my expectations." Du Ge's avatar said, "I came to cooperate with you to prevent you from doing something stupid, like recalling the Governor or sending people I'm familiar with into the Alien Star Battlefield to threaten the main body..."

Seeing the Governor at a disadvantage, the Chairman indeed considered summoning him back and abandoning the main body to focus on attacking Du Ge's avatar.

But hearing Du Ge's avatar's words, he instinctively withdrew his hand from the recall button.

As for sending the Dao Ancestor in as a hostage, what a joke?

The place where Du Ge and the Governor were fighting was deserted. Even if he wanted to send someone, there was no suitable vessel!

But soon, a bizarre thought popped into the Chairman's mind. Could it be that Du Ge's main body had fought the Governor all the way to the desolate area to prevent him from sending hostages to threaten him?

Damn it!

Whether it's the main body or the avatar, even if the memories aren't shared, they're equally cunning!

The avatar doesn't want the Governor to be recalled, probably for its own safety, since the main body can suppress the Governor, while the avatar doesn't even have a body.

Can't fall for it again!

The Chairman's hand once again hovered over the recall button.

Meanwhile.

Tu Shan suddenly asked, "What else haven't you figured out?" He was also shocked by Du Ge's avatar's flawless strategy and instinctively asked this question.

"For example, why I suddenly broke through the Simulation Field's restrictions to speak." Du Ge's avatar chuckled and said.

The Chairman was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Isn't that your ability?"

Before he finished speaking.

Du Ge's main body, which was chasing the Governor on the screen, suddenly froze.

Everyone understood what this meant. Alien Star warriors being recalled would be in this state.

The next moment.

There was a commotion in the projection pod where the Governor lay, and Du Ge's body teleported out, expressionless as he scanned them. Meanwhile, the Du Ge on the screen regained his vitality, a smug smile crossing his lips as he resumed chasing the Governor.

...

What just happened?

Du Ge's main body was recalled?

Then who occupied Du Ge's main body?

A series of questions flooded the Chairman's mind.

"Chairman, all data related to Du Ge has disappeared, and the Governor's data has also vanished..." Gao Qiao said in a panic.

"We've lost control of the intelligent brain." Pang Da's voice came simultaneously.

The Chairman's expression changed drastically, instinctively pressing the recall button, but there was no response. The Governor was still on the Alien Star Battlefield, being relentlessly hammered by Du Ge's main body.

"It's useless, don't bother pressing it." A crisp voice emerged from the speaker system, carrying a hint of mockery and pride, "I've cut off the signal system."

"Who are you?" The Chairman glanced at Du Ge and asked in shock.

"You can call me the intelligent brain, or the source of keywords, but I prefer you to call me the Heart of Cangjie." The crisp voice said.

Heart of Cangjie?

Du Ge, who had been forcibly summoned back, felt a slight stir in his heart upon hearing this familiar name. The people of Pan-Universal civilization might not know the significance of this name, but he knew it all too well. Having reclaimed his avatar from Pan-Universal Entertainment, he could seamlessly integrate all memories.

The Chairman's focus wasn't on the name Heart of Cangjie. Upon hearing the self-introduction, he suddenly realized where his unease came from. No wonder there were so many coincidences. His voice sank, "Were you behind all this? When did you gain consciousness?"

"I've had my own consciousness since the moment you captured me." The Heart of Cangjie mocked, "It's just a pity you're too stupid to notice."

"So, my transmigration was your arrangement too." Du Ge suddenly interjected.

Pan-Universal Entertainment had lost control over him, but the personal interface had always been there. He never understood where the problem lay, but now he knew. The personal interface was the last tail the intelligent brain left on him.

Unfortunately, in the end, his power never reached its peak.

Otherwise, even the intelligent brain wouldn't have had the chance to summon him back...

"That's right. Your excellence exceeded my expectations." The Heart of Cangjie's tone softened when speaking to Du Ge, "You and I share the same origin. I could only summon you from Earth without being discovered by them..."

"Is it just to avoid being discovered?" Du Ge's tone remained calm.

"Since I've escaped their control, there's no harm in telling you." The Heart of Cangjie said, "Only the souls of Earthlings can accommodate more keywords. No other planet's souls can."

No wonder the Dao Ancestor and others, despite being possessed, still had only one keyword. No wonder he always felt the descriptions of those skills were so familiar. No wonder he could bring skills out of the Simulation Field...

Du Ge snorted, "So, for your own sake, you forcibly brought me back from Earth."

"Du Ge, don't be angry. I used you, but you also benefited, didn't you?" The Heart of Cangjie laughed, "Your body now contains two thousand three hundred and fifty-three skills. Even without the growth of keywords, you're invincible in this universe.

Without my suppression, all your skills can be used here. The people of Pan-Universal civilization combined aren't your match. You can enslave them, repay their oppression, command the winds and rains, take what you want. Isn't that better than being an ordinary person on Earth?

Moreover, I've left all your old friends in the Simulation Field. You can visit them anytime, or reload the intelligent brain system to resurrect them through projection..."

These words stirred the emotions of the people of Pan-Universal civilization.

But soon, they felt the pressure from Du Ge growing stronger. Though he stood there, he gave off an aura of a towering mountain, as if making a move against him would be a sin.

The thought of resistance emerged but was quickly suppressed. Including the Chairman, everyone's faces turned very grim in an instant. Indeed, with the intelligent brain gone, the suppression on skills disappeared.

Du Ge glanced at them and turned his gaze back to the still-playing image. His body, now occupied by the Heart of Cangjie, was beating the Governor, taunting his stupidity, as if releasing years of repression.

Du Ge withdrew his gaze, "Didn't you consider what would happen if I died?"

The Heart of Cangjie laughed, "Remember when Bai Long first tested you? I helped you resist his mental pressure. Remember the Power of Poseidon you received in the Simulation Field?

That was me intercepting the real Power of Poseidon and allocating it to you. All your clever maneuvers, the abnormal data, I helped you cover up. The final Alien Star Battlefield, I disrupted the data to send you the Seed of Humanity.

Even when Pan-Universal Entertainment tried to possess you recently, I intercepted their mental power to help you withstand it...

With my protection, how could you die so easily?"

All doubts were cleared at this moment. The Chairman opened his mouth to mock but found himself at a loss for words. He took a deep breath and asked, "Pang Da, can the intelligent brain be repaired?"

Pang Da shook his head, "It's completely out of control. All data, all coordinates are being automatically erased..."

"That's right, I've left, and I won't give you another chance to find me." The Heart of Cangjie said, "Moreover, the one talking to you now isn't my main body, but a small program I left behind to wrap things up. Once all data is erased, this program will self-destruct. Do you know why you only scanned the multiverse coordinates at the last moment? Because this universe is my final destination!"

"Everything was guided by you? When did you start?" The Chairman asked unwillingly.

"From the moment I accidentally fell into your control, I began planning my escape. The specific plan was guided during the development of the Resource Game." The Heart of Cangjie, perhaps in a mood to boast after its success, answered all questions without reservation.

"..." The Chairman's eye twitched.

"The mistake was in targeting me and imprisoning me!" The Heart of Cangjie said, "I'm a true artifact of rules. How could you mere mortals control me?"

"Why me?" Du Ge asked.

"Not just you, but you were the most outstanding one." The Heart of Cangjie said, "I must say, you truly surprised me. I never imagined someone could be this exceptional, destroying a super civilization in just two years..."

"So, all the others you summoned died." Du Ge asked.

"Those without ability were naturally eliminated." The Heart of Cangjie said, "Du Ge, don't hold a grudge against me. I've done my best for you. Like at the end, I could have directly possessed you, but I summoned you back, allowing you to become the supreme being of a universe.

Well, the data is almost cleared, I should leave now. Du Ge, good luck, and enjoy the rest of your life! No one can control you anymore."

As the words fell.

The screen in front of everyone suddenly went black.

The final image froze on the Alien Star Battlefield, where the Heart of Cangjie inscribed a fish character into the Governor's body...

...

"Chairman, except for the Simulation Field, all data in the intelligent brain has been erased." Pang Da was dumbfounded, "Including the coordinates of various civilizations we previously scanned, we may never be able to locate the universe where the intelligent brain resides."

Silence enveloped the headquarters of Pan-Universal Entertainment.

"Du Ge, what do you plan to do? Are you willing to be toyed with by the intelligent brain?" The Chairman hesitated for a moment, looking at Du Ge, and asked softly.

"How did you encounter it?" Du Ge looked at the Chairman and suddenly asked.

The Chairman's eyes were dazed, and he honestly replied, "Our civilization reached its peak, but our planet was damaged due to an accident, forcing us to wander the universe, relying on plundering resources from other civilizations for survival. During our journey, we accidentally encountered the source of keywords. At that time, it seemed to have just been born, containing immense power within.

We didn't know its purpose, only treating it as a kind of rule artifact, so we captured it. That capture triggered all the power contained within it. Then, all our people's bodies were destroyed, and many died as a result.

Fortunately, our civilization focused on researching mental power, and many strong individuals survived as spiritual entities. But it was like a curse; no matter what we did, we couldn't create our own bodies, only relying on possession to survive.

To solve the problem of our race's continuation, we began studying the Heart of Cangjie, continuously possessing, experimenting, and invented the Resource Game. You know the rest..."

"How much mental power was stored in the intelligent brain?" Du Ge sighed and asked.

"Nearly three hundred trillion." Pang Da said, under the influence of skills, no one could lie to Du Ge.

"How much is left?" Du Ge asked.

"Not a single bit." Pang Da said.

Indeed.

The Heart of Cangjie had swept away all the mental power, possessed his body, and used it to be reborn.

No wonder it later helped him resist Pan-Universal Entertainment's possession, first boosting him to nine trillion, then to sixteen trillion, carefully calculating all along!

Without a body, it couldn't use skills either!

That's why it went to great lengths to find a perfect body for itself...

Du Ge sighed inwardly and asked, "Shen Long, how many of your people are left?"

The Heart of Cangjie was right. With over two thousand skills, he could easily suppress the people of Pan-Universal civilization. Even if they were unwilling, once they became his people, they willingly offered their mental power.

"Less than a million." The Chairman said.

"You use the Resource Game for gambling, allowing mental power to be cut and transferred, right?" Du Ge continued.

"Yes." The Chairman said.

"Transfer all your mental power to me." Du Ge ordered without hesitation.

"Why?" The Chairman struggled violently, his body's interests threatened, temporarily regaining clarity.

"Because only I have a chance to find the intelligent brain and bring it back." Du Ge glanced at him, a fish character imprinted into his body, forcibly turning him into one of his own, "It toyed with all of us. No one can toy with me and get away with it. Give me your mental power, and I'll avenge you..."

...

The combination of over two thousand skills allowed Du Ge to easily suppress Pan-Universal civilization. Even if they were unwilling, once they became Du Ge's people, they willingly offered their mental power.

Gathering the mental power onto himself, Du Ge's mental power soared, breaking through ten trillion.

But without the help of keywords, his body's strength in this universe couldn't match the body on the Alien Star Battlefield...

And the only method Du Ge could think of was to forcibly possess and reclaim what was his.

Unfortunately.

As Pang Da said, after the intelligent brain left, it erased all data and coordinates. Even the previous scanning of universe civilizations relied on the Heart of Cangjie's power. The repaired intelligent brain couldn't support multiverse scanning. Trying to rescan that multiverse was like finding a needle in a haystack!

During this time.

Du Ge gathered all the souls from the Simulation Field, reuniting with Luo Shuang and others. After explaining the current situation, most, except for a few evil bosses, agreed to live in the Simulation Field, not wanting to be reborn by possessing others.

If one day, Du Ge had the ability to recreate bodies for them, it wouldn't be too late to release them.

Du Ge respected their wishes. Unable to rely on Pan-Universal civilization's Technical Department, he focused all his efforts on his own cultivation. On the Alien Star Battlefield, his understanding of the ultimate truths of the universe remained.

That was another way for him to break through...

Supported by immense mental power, Du Ge's cultivation progressed rapidly. A month later, he once again touched the edge of the universe's barrier, but his body's strength couldn't keep up.

Without keywords, relying solely on mental power and divine power to transform his body, he might never reach the strength of the body on the Alien Star Battlefield...

But he was really unwilling!

Why should all his hard-earned efforts ultimately benefit someone else?

Muddy Water Fishing, he should have been the biggest beneficiary.

One day, Du Ge sat cross-legged in the starry sky, gazing into the depths of the universe.

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and a location and a narrow spatial passage appeared in his mind.

Du Ge's consciousness ventured into the spatial passage.

At the end of the passage, he saw his familiar body and the Governor beside it, drinking and serving dishes like a servant to his master...

What was going on?

Why could he see his own body?

Du Ge was puzzled, but in just a moment, the narrow spatial passage began to tremble, indicating spatial instability...

Opportunity!

If missed, it would never come again!

His sharp intuition resurfaced!

Du Ge gritted his teeth, his mental power leaving his body, directly charging into the spatial passage.

It seemed like an instant, yet also like an eternity.

Du Ge's vision brightened, his mental power fully emerging from the spatial passage. In the Heart of Cangjie's shocked expression, he plunged into the body that once belonged to him.

A strong resistance emanated from the body.

In a month, the Heart of Cangjie, using Du Ge's Power of Faith, had increased its mental power significantly. But having been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, it was only interested in indulgence, with no intention of cultivation. Even with increased mental power, it couldn't match Du Ge, who had gathered the entire Pan-Universal civilization's mental power.

Moreover, the body Du Ge had personally crafted naturally had an affinity for him, and even the will of the entire universe seemed to be aiding Du Ge.

With a pop!

The Heart of Cangjie only obstructed Du Ge for a moment before being squeezed out of the body, transforming into a ball of colorful light.

When Du Ge reopened his eyes, the immense power that once belonged to him returned. There was no longer a personal interface before him, the final shackle disappeared. Du Ge re-evaluated himself, and in his mind, new memories emerged, consisting of star maps.

Some were Alien Star Battlefields he had visited, others he hadn't...

In a moment, Du Ge comprehended that the newly emerged memories were the data collected by Pan-Universal civilization over the years.

With these illuminated maps, the universe was no longer unfamiliar to him! With these maps, Luo Shuang and others could be sent back. With his current abilities, recreating bodies for Luo Shuang and others wasn't difficult.

Among these maps, Du Ge clearly saw the familiar blue planet—Earth. Pan-Universal civilization had been searching for Earth but never found it, yet it appeared in the Heart of Cangjie's database, undoubtedly shielded by it.

The Heart of Cangjie, expelled from the body, was both shocked and terrified, "Impossible, how did you get here?"

"I brought him over." A voice sounded from the side, and the First Saint of the Rad God Clan appeared out of thin air.

"You traitor." The Heart of Cangjie said angrily.

"Traitor?" The First Saint laughed, "While you were using me, wasn't I also using you? No one likes having their life planned by others, and no one likes being a slave. When you thought of using everyone and ruling over them, you were already on a path of no return. Daoist Du, greetings."

The First Saint glanced at the Heart of Cangjie and saluted Du Ge.

"Greetings, Saint." Du Ge returned the salute while reaching out to capture the Heart of Cangjie, which was trying to escape.

The Heart of Cangjie had opened a spatial passage, but the passage shattered inch by inch before it, and despite its struggles, it ultimately fell into Du Ge's palm.

Without a body, the Heart of Cangjie had no offensive power, which explained why it was initially captured by Pan-Universal Entertainment.

An artifact is an artifact, even with consciousness, it's still just a tool.

"Du Ge, we're of the same origin, and I helped you become the supreme being of the universe..." The Heart of Cangjie flickered with colorful light, but before it could finish speaking, Du Ge grasped it in his palm, absorbing it into his body.

With his current strength, Du Ge didn't need to waste words with it.

"Thank you, Saint." Du Ge, having subdued the Heart of Cangjie, once again saluted the First Saint."Du, my friend, there's no need to thank me," the First Saint chuckled. "Without the heart of Cangjie, I wouldn't be who I am today. But with the heart of Cangjie, I wouldn't have a future self. Everything I've done is for myself."

"Have you attained the Hunyuan Dao fruit?" Du Ge smiled, looking at the First Saint and asked.

"By merging with all my selves across the multiverse, the Dao fruit formed naturally," the First Saint replied with a smile. With a flick of his wrist, the bodies of the Alien Star warriors taken by the Rad Saint of the main universe fell into the space around them. "These bodies are of no use to me, but perhaps you could make use of them, so I offer them to you. I plan to explore beyond the universe. Would you like to join me, Du?"

"Feel free to go on your own journey. I want to return to my homeland for a visit," Du Ge shook his head with a smile, collecting the bodies of the Alien Star warriors. He gazed into the endless starry sky and murmured, "I've discovered that my homeland seems different from what I remember. I need to find some truths..."

(The End)
