World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

After turning the seven-tailed fox and others into his friends, Du Ge used "In the Same Boat" once more.

This time.

He reached the Inner Core stage in an instant.

By integrating the immense power of the fox demon and others, Du Ge's Yang Spirit became as solid and lifelike as a real person, full of substance.

The feeling of abundant spiritual power made Du Ge feel that he could press the seven-tailed fox to the ground with just one hand, without using any spells.

At this level, his Yang Spirit truly achieved the so-called "gather to form, disperse to become air," appearing and disappearing at will, changing without limits.

Indeed.

Du Ge's Yang Spirit could freely control its form, becoming invisible or visible at will, and could transform into anyone.

Moreover, its speed was incredibly fast, capable of reaching a thousand miles in an instant.

Coupled with the use of various Five Elements talismans, he could use the Five Dragon Talisman for protection, draw a few Cloud Rain Talismans to bring rain, and use the Fire Dragon Talisman to burn the land...

He could indeed be called a terrestrial immortal.

Seeing Du Ge's transformation, Chen Ziyong was so envious that he almost drooled.

Now that he had the ability to travel a thousand miles in an instant, Du Ge didn't bother waiting for the people from the Special Affairs Bureau to arrive.

He gathered all his friends together, isolated the back mountain of the Tianshi Sect with a net of heaven and earth, and protected them.

In half an hour, Du Ge toured the major sects like Maoshan, Emei, and Laoshan, turning the remaining disciples of each sect into friends and collecting their cultivation techniques.

In fact.

Cheng Yu, in his primordial spirit state, was already a household name. Even if he didn't take action, just showing his primordial spirit would make many people willing to befriend him and offer everything they had.

But to be safe, Du Ge still despised them first, then decisively beat them up, gaining their true friendship.

After obtaining the cultivation techniques of several sects, Du Ge returned to Tianshi Mountain to further refine the techniques.

Then, Du Ge discovered that the effect of tempering all the meridians was not as good as expected; the cultivation speed actually slowed down.

In the end.

Du Ge confirmed that the best foundation for the technique was the "Concentration Technique," "Tiangang Heart Method," "Maoshan Heart Technique," and "Hunyuan Technique."

This set of techniques abandoned the secondary meridians and focused on cultivating the twelve main meridians, which was the fastest in terms of cultivation speed. It not only allowed the accumulation of spiritual power within the body but also strengthened the soul.

Du Ge named it the "Shangqing True Scripture" and taught it to everyone, to see if there were any side effects.

After completing everything in his primordial spirit state, only a little over an hour had passed.

The people from the Luo family, Shi family, and others rushing to the Tianshi Sect were still on their way.

The people from the Special Affairs Bureau were still nowhere to be seen.

At this point, having obtained the advanced skill of discrimination and integrated the most suitable cultivation technique using the advantage of his Yang Spirit, the Simulation Field no longer held any meaning for Du Ge.

Next.

Clearing out the candidates or ending the main storyline became the primary task.

Of course.

The first candidates to be cleared were from the Special Affairs Bureau.

Finding them wasn't difficult. By inquiring about their mode of transportation around Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and then checking with the transportation department, Du Ge easily found out their new destination—Beimang Mountain.

Knowing their destination made things much simpler.

Du Ge, holding the Shangqing Seal, took a trip to Beimang Mountain. Without much effort, he turned the Ghost King of Beimang Mountain into one of his own.

He also found a candidate at Beimang Mountain, whose keyword was "dominate." At that time, he had already convinced the Ghost King of Beimang Mountain.

Unfortunately.

Before he could take the next step, Du Ge intercepted him.

Du Ge waited at Beimang Mountain, and when the people from the Special Affairs Bureau came to pay their respects, he struck with several Palm Thunders, killing a middle-aged man protected by Li Yao and Fu Lin, without even using the Shangqing Seal.

After that.

The dazed sect leaders instantly returned to normal.

Then things became increasingly complicated. Du Ge integrated Beimang Mountain and all the cultivation sects, as well as the official representatives like the Special Affairs Bureau.

Logically, having controlled all the channels, he should have easily drawn out the world's main storyline.

But strangely, the main storyline never revealed itself, as if Sheng Wenhua's Sanqing Hall really had no descendants.

Unable to find the main storyline, the only way left to end the Simulation Field was to clear out the candidates.

But then, Du Ge couldn't even find the candidates.

All the candidates seemed to have vanished, hidden within the Simulation Field...

The Simulation Field was densely populated, with various opposing countries, totaling billions of people.

Finding a few hundred inactive candidates among billions of people was practically impossible.

Unless he went insane and slaughtered everyone in the world.

Du Ge had the greatest power. Even without starting a war, simply leading the Ghost King of Beimang Mountain and his ghost soldiers to kill people could indeed wipe out everyone in the Simulation Field.

But in the end.

Du Ge didn't do that.

Even knowing the Simulation Field was virtual, seeing these living people, seeing those cute netizens online who praised and apologized to him, he couldn't get past his conscience.

Moreover, who knew how many eyes were watching him from the outside!

Unable to find the candidates.

Du Ge didn't idle; he began exploring the Simulation Field.

In previous Simulation Fields, he didn't have his current strength and couldn't explore the world's limits.

But in this Simulation Field, having cultivated his primordial spirit, which represented the world's upper limit, he could ignore time and reach any place at the fastest speed.

This gave him the best conditions.

Du Ge explored the Simulation Field thoroughly.

Finally, he concluded.

The Simulation Field was indeed not a real world.

It was a complete planet, but it had boundaries outside.

Breaking through the atmosphere, even the primordial spirit would feel a sense of stagnation, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.

Even the Shangqing Seal couldn't break this barrier.

But inside the planet, the structure was extremely detailed, even finding fossils from millions of years ago several hundred meters deep in the soil.

And the world had its own scientific logic.

Even a child in the farthest corner had their own thoughts and could learn the techniques Du Ge taught, with infinite possibilities for everyone in this world...

It had to be said.

Pan-Universal Entertainment created this Simulation Field with such precision that it was terrifying.

After ten days, Du Ge finally couldn't wait any longer.

If he waited any longer, someone might jump out and compete with him for the world, but Du Ge didn't have the patience to drag it out for two months.

On a deserted snowy mountain, Du Ge directly called out for Nan Youlong to end the Simulation Field.

Before long.

The Simulation Field forcibly ended.

...

Du Ge had just exited the Simulation Field and hadn't even checked the effects of the "Shangqing Heart Method" he created in reality when he received a call from Nan Youlong.

His voice carried a hint of helplessness: "Du Ge, what are you doing? Weren't you supposed to be selecting team members? How did you end up playing by yourself again? With your method of controlling everything, how could anyone else have a chance to shine? These candidates were selected from all over the country for their unique thinking, and you forced them into hiding. Do you know, Bai Qing was so frustrated by you that he became reclusive!"

"Who is Bai Qing?" Du Ge asked.

"The candidate who controlled the Special Affairs Bureau, Bai Yanshou's fourth brother. He thought he could take first place, but you ruined his great situation with one Palm Thunder." Nan Youlong said.

Bai Yanshou.

He had survived on the Alien Star Battlefield for 35 years and ended up with a third-place finish...

Du Ge's mind flashed with Bai Yanshou's information, and he casually responded, "What's his keyword?"

"Manipulate. His awakened skills are Puppet Strings and Shared Vision." Nan Youlong sighed, "If you hadn't participated in the Simulation Field, he would have been the undisputed first place. He thinks your participation severely affected fairness and is demanding to join you on the Alien Star Battlefield!"

Join him in battle?

Du Ge automatically ignored that sentence and asked, "How does Puppet Strings work?"

"Prepare the strings in advance. Anyone who touches his strings becomes his puppet; Shared Vision allows him to share the vision of all his controlled puppets." Nan Youlong explained and then asked, "Forget about him. You can watch his replay later. What's with your skill? How did you turn a friendship skill into a discrimination effect?"

"Weren't you asking me to weaken myself?" Du Ge replied smoothly, "I figured if I first ruined my reputation with discrimination and then built friendships, it would be like starting from a lower point than everyone else, which is a form of fairness. Who knew, even with reverse operations, these guys still couldn't measure up..."

The line fell silent.

After a long while.

Nan Youlong asked, "What's your awakened skill?"

"Not Knowing Each Other Without a Fight and In the Same Boat." Friendship skills were nothing to hide, so Du Ge straightforwardly explained his advanced skills and their effects, then asked, "Old Nan, what's the main storyline of this Simulation Field?"

"The Ghost King of Beimang Mountain leading an army to sweep the human world, and Sheng Wenhua's descendant using divine skills to save the world." Nan Youlong sighed again, "You intercepted the Ghost King of Beimang Mountain, so Sheng Wenhua's descendant naturally wouldn't appear..."

Damn!

Du Ge cursed inwardly and laughed, "Old Nan, it's still early. How about opening another Simulation Field for me to play?"

Before he could finish, Nan Youlong interrupted, "Impossible. The resources you won haven't even been distributed yet, and opening a Simulation Field consumes resource quotas.

We were hoping you could help train some good seedlings, but look at what you've done?

At this rate, if we open a few more Simulation Fields, the resources you win won't be enough to cover the consumption. The Simulation Field is for selecting talents, not your playground. Du Ge, playing house with a bunch of kids is meaningless. Stop messing around; the Alien Star Battlefield is your real stage..."
