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

Chapter 230: People of chaos

Other Alien Star warriors might wait, but Du Ge won't.

What's the point of his desperate development if not to prevent others from rising?

On the Alien Star Battlefield, it's either you die or I live. Whoever shows mercy dies.

This is the conclusion Du Ge reached after watching many replay videos.

After reaching the Divine Transformation Realm, everything became much more convenient. He could soar high and travel through the air, reaching the Medical Immortal Sect and Danyang City effortlessly within the same day.

Under the guise of testing medical skills, he examined all disciples of the Medical Immortal Sect. Finding no hidden Alien Star warriors, Du Ge then shifted his focus to the other nine exposed warriors.

There are still over twelve hundred people in the Simulation Field.

For each of the top ten he takes down, the ones behind move up a spot. Maintaining the pace of one per day, the Simulation Field could end in at most four years.

Once his cultivation improves, taking down two a day, the Simulation Field could end in at most two years.

Moreover, this approach has another benefit: it keeps all the candidates focused on the constantly updated rankings, reducing those who would cause trouble for his Seven Stars Sect and Medical Immortal Sect ventures.

Of course.

There's also a possibility that as he eliminates more people, more will turn their attention to him and attack in groups.

But that day will come sooner or later.

It's much better to have them unite when they're weak than to face hundreds of Mahayana cultivators with various skills besieging him decades later. Du Ge has already experienced the terror of attributes; once they rise, they bring talent enhancements, and cultivation really speeds up.

Alien Star warriors are the biggest hidden threat to world stability. Eliminating them is tantamount to saving the world; there's no nobler deed.

...

"Inner Disciple of Heaven's Path Institute, Luo Cang; Lan Ning Temple's chosen disciple, Zuo Zhonghou; student of Jixia Academy, Shi Chunqi; Princess Mo Yingjun of the Great Qing..."

That day.

Du Ge handed Li Anjiang a piece of paper with nine names and their identities.

"Junior brother, who are these people?" Li Anjiang asked, puzzled.

"People of chaos," Du Ge said.

"People of chaos?" Li Anjiang looked at the paper again.

"Sect Leader brother, as you know, the technique I practice is nearly Dao," Du Ge said. "The so-called Heavenly Dao is the rule of all things, the rationale behind their operation. Fate is like a long river, flowing relentlessly forward. You and I are like water in the river, or fish in the water, carried along by the current, helpless to resist.

After grasping the essence of Dao, one gains a perspective outside the river. From above, you can observe the entire river, see where it will bend, where it will hit rocks, and thus avoid them in advance..."

Li Anjiang swallowed, his voice tinged with excitement, "Junior brother, does stepping out of the river of fate mean ascending to immortality?"

Du Ge's rise to the Divine Transformation Realm in a single day had overturned Li Anjiang's entire understanding of the cultivation world.

Now.

He had become an ardent admirer of Du Ge, taking his words as gospel.

"Perhaps even higher, possibly becoming the Heavenly Dao itself, mastering the fate of all," Du Ge said. "Sect Leader brother, as you know, our master destroyed the main text, and what I'm practicing now is just a fragment. When I absorb someone's power, I must take an object from them. The so-called dismemberment is merely a flaw in the technique."

Such a flaw, yet so domineering, I wish I had it too!

Li Anjiang complained inwardly. He had seen the Big Dipper Scripture Du Ge gave him; it was a rubbish technique. With the main text, perhaps at a higher level, one could attract starlight for personal use.

But that broken technique couldn't even reach the Foundation Establishment phase!

He couldn't imagine how Wang Chong's master managed to comprehend a technique so close to Dao with just a fragment. He must have been extraordinarily brilliant!

Unfortunately.

He died too soon. If he were still alive, how prosperous the Medical Immortal Sect would be!

"Sect Leader brother, because the technique is incomplete, my perception of Dao is vague," Du Ge smiled and continued, "But in the depths, I sometimes hear some guidance, like taking the Seven Stars Sect public, and that the way of medicine should flourish..."

"..." Li Anjiang paused, "Junior brother, is the flourishing of medicine a guidance from the Heavenly Dao?"

Du Ge nodded: "Sect Leader brother, I thought coming to the Medical Immortal Sect was my own decision. But after my cultivation reached the Divine Transformation Realm, my understanding of the Heavenly Dao deepened, and I realized that the flourishing of medicine is the future. I was merely following the guidance of fate, making a decision that aligns with what's to come."

Gulp!

Li Anjiang's heart raced, and he swallowed to moisten his dry throat, looking again at the paper in his hand: "Then these people of chaos?"

"Last night, during my meditation, I sensed the Heavenly Dao again and wrote down these names on the ground before me," Du Ge said. "I don't know the meaning behind these names, but when I saw them, I felt an innate disgust and fear deep within.

I feel that these people will cause us great harm in the future and hinder the prosperity of medicine. On a whim, I labeled them as people of chaos."

He paused, "Sect Leader brother, you've lived through the rise and fall of dynasties. With each new era, heroes battle for supremacy, but in the end, only one emerges victorious. I think these people will be the formidable opponents we face in the future."

"But these people have nothing in common..." Li Anjiang frowned.

Du Ge chuckled, interrupting him: "Sect Leader brother, just days ago, I had nothing to do with the Medical Immortal Sect, but now here we are, discussing the Dao. Brother, those who catch the attention of the Heavenly Dao are surely not ordinary, right?"

Li Anjiang looked at the names on the paper, his brow furrowed: "Junior brother, what do you plan to do?"

"Go see them, to see if they truly possess the potential to influence the world as indicated by the Heavenly Dao," Du Ge said. "If they're just ordinary people, let them be. But if they truly show extraordinary talent, then we'll nip the danger in the bud."

Li Anjiang didn't doubt Du Ge's words, as these people were scattered far and wide, unlikely to have any grudges with Du Ge. His junior brother was kind-hearted; how could he write down names to kill them without reason?

After hesitating for a moment, Li Anjiang said, "Junior brother, among these people, there are Inner Disciples from Heaven's Path Institute, Lan Ning Temple, Changsheng Zhai, and Heavenly Demon Palace. It won't be easy to kill someone in these major sects."

Du Ge was just saying to take a look, but Li Anjiang was already considering murder, thinking he needed to become Du Ge's knife to compensate for his character flaws.

"Let's start with the easy ones."

Du Ge smiled and pointed to Scholar Dan Cong from Yan Country and Princess Mo Yingjun from the Great Qing.

Apart from these two, whose identities hadn't changed, the rest had joined major sects.

It must be said.

The top ten candidates all know how to protect themselves.

Once exposed, they can freely exploit their Keywords.

The talents improved by the attribute increase make it easy for them to be selected by major sects and become Inner Disciples.

The status of an Inner Disciple in a major sect is a quality amulet in the early stages.

As long as they don't leave their sects, ordinary people can't touch them.

Just like Du Ge, from the obscure Sect Leader of the Seven Stars Sect, he became the famous disciple of the Medical Immortal Sect. To other candidates, it might seem like a move to protect himself, or perhaps, they're laughing at Du Ge for making a wrong decision.

After all.

The Medical Immortal Sect isn't a major sect and isn't skilled in combat, not really a good refuge.

Princess Mo Yingjun has the status of royalty; it makes sense for her not to join a sect, as royal protection and resources are assured.

But the fact that Scholar Dan Cong's status hasn't changed is somewhat strange, so he must have his own reliance...
