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

Chapter 281: Are you the one who wants to be the Gu King?

"Junior Brother Cheng, let me treat you. Let's have a good drink. I've learned more today than I have in the past twenty years!" Zhang Ziqing said. "I have to admit, we've been at peace for too long and have forgotten how treacherous the world can be. We needed this wake-up call."

"At that time, please also tell us more about the Heavenly Demons," Shi Dashan laughed. "You know more about them than we do. One fall is enough; we can't afford a second."

"I'd also like to ask Junior Brother Cheng about the use of talismans," Zhong Xie said. "I feel like the Maoshan Sect has some misconceptions about their usage."

"No problem," Du Ge replied with a smile. "I was sent down the mountain after just one day of training, so I also want to learn more about the cultivation world from you all."

"What about him?" Rosie suddenly looked at Chen Ziyong, who was still under the control of a silencing talisman, and asked, "What do you plan to do with him?"

The others also turned their gazes toward him.

Everyone present had been confessed to by Chen Ziyong, and under the influence of his skills, they still had some lingering affection for him.

Chen Ziyong looked at them pitifully.

"Junior Brother Cheng, why not let him go?" Zhong Xie suggested. "Although he deceived us, he hasn't caused any major harm so far. He's just confessed to a few people."

Bang!

Du Ge kicked the immobilized Chen Ziyong, breaking the binding talisman.

Chen Ziyong got up and tried to run.

But Du Ge quickly grabbed his hair and slammed him against the wall with a shoulder throw.

If it were before, he would have killed Chen Ziyong outright.

But now, with his new skill "No Fight, No Friendship," he intended to turn him into a friend.

Killing in a peaceful world was too cruel.

He was a celebrity and had to maintain his image.

Seeing Du Ge suddenly turn violent, everyone was stunned.

Rosie showed a hint of compassion in her eyes. "Junior Brother Cheng, if you're going to kill him, just do it. Why torture him?"

"Sister Rosie, you can't be soft-hearted with these demon scum. They need to recognize our strength to be tamed. Otherwise, they'll exploit our weaknesses..." Du Ge explained while lifting Chen Ziyong and slamming him repeatedly.

In his hands, Chen Ziyong was like a rag doll, quickly becoming battered and broken. The recovery power from confessing to thousands of people couldn't help him now.

Everyone swallowed hard in silence.

This was a clear warning.

Yes, it must be.

If Chen Ziyong weren't a Heavenly Demon, they would be dead even with spiritual power protecting them.

Compared to this, Du Ge had indeed been merciful to them, showing he genuinely wanted to be friends.

...

Zhao Hongmei watched the frenzied Du Ge, her face pale.

All thoughts of money and betrayal vanished from her mind.

She decided that whatever Cheng Yu said from now on, she would follow. To hell with the company!

Her life was more important!

Qingsong frowned deeply. He wasn't affected by any skills and had long suspected that Junior Brother Cheng was possessed by a Heavenly Demon.

He had planned to report Cheng Yu's true identity to his master but now abandoned the idea. Junior Brother Cheng hadn't betrayed Qingxin Temple, and if he didn't admit to being a Heavenly Demon, there was no need to bring unnecessary trouble to his master.

...

"Do you yield?" Du Ge asked, lifting the bruised and broken Chen Ziyong by the neck. "If you yield, we can still be friends. If not, I'll send you to the afterlife."

"I yield! I yield!" The effect of the silencing talisman had worn off during the beating, and Chen Ziyong whimpered, looking at Du Ge.

He didn't dare say a word more, fearing that even one wrong word would cost him his head. Cheng Yu was much faster than him.

In Cheng Yu, he inexplicably saw a shadow of Du Ge.

But Du Ge had become an Alien Star warrior and wouldn't be bored enough to play games in the Simulation Field. The person before him, with such strong adaptability and development in the Simulation Field, was likely to become the next Du Ge.

At this moment, he didn't care about who was in control. Clinging to a powerful ally was the only truth.

"Good brother, sorry for the rough treatment." Du Ge put Chen Ziyong down and hugged him tightly. "From now on, you're my good friend, no, a friend to all humanity. Let's join forces to exterminate the other Heavenly Demons and restore peace to the world..."

"Restore peace to the world," Chen Ziyong echoed, tears in his eyes.

...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Just like that, they were friends?

You just beat him up!

Aren't you afraid he'll seek revenge later?

When teaching us a lesson, you were as sharp as a tack. But with a Heavenly Demon, you beat him up and then let your guard down?

What kind of logic is this?

"Junior Brother Cheng, no matter how harmless he seems, he's still a Heavenly Demon. Isn't it a bit rash to accept him just like that?" Zhong Xie couldn't help but remind him. As a friend, he naturally cared for Du Ge's well-being.

"No worries. If he dares to cause trouble, I'll just beat him up again." Du Ge smiled nonchalantly and looked at Chen Ziyong. "Don't be shy. When you're with me, feel free to recover."

Chen Ziyong nodded, looking around the room before his gaze landed on Zhao Hongmei. With deep affection, he said, "Sister, your smile has captivated me. I swear, in this life, I will only love three things: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun for the day, the moon for the night, and you for myself alone..."

Under everyone's incredulous gaze, Chen Ziyong's appearance rapidly recovered with his declaration.

In the blink of an eye, except for his clothes, he looked as if he had never been beaten.

Everyone's mouths went dry.

Was this the recovery power of a Heavenly Demon?

Unbelievable!

If all Heavenly Demons were like Cheng Yu and Chen Ziyong, once they grew, they would indeed be formidable opponents...

Seeing Zhao Hongmei's gaze soften toward Chen Ziyong, everyone suddenly understood why Cheng Yu had acted first against him and used a silencing talisman to seal his speech.

Chen Ziyong's skill must be related to language!

But if Chen Ziyong's skill was language-based, what was Cheng Yu's skill?

Discrimination?

But they hadn't felt any discomfort!

Everything seemed to have developed naturally to this point.

...

After instructing Zhao Hongmei to fetch new clothes for everyone, the group put away their magical tools and equipment and asked the club manager for a large private room.

While waiting for the food, Luo Fan couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Cheng, can you tell us what Heavenly Demons are really like?"

Du Ge glanced at him and smiled. "Have you ever heard of Gu?"

Luo Fan nodded. "Yes, the cultivators in the southern regions are skilled in Gu poison techniques. It's said that at its peak, one can achieve immortality through Gu..."

"Heavenly Demons are similar to Gu," Du Ge interrupted. "Put all the Heavenly Demons in one world and let them fight. In the end, you devour me, I devour you, and the strongest one is raised. That is the Heavenly Demon King."

"What happens to the strongest one?" Zhang Ziqing's mind flashed to the Ghost King sealed in Tianshi Mountain, and he asked, trembling, "Will the Heavenly Demon King harm our world?"

"No, he will leave this world," Du Ge smiled.

...

Everyone looked at each other, stunned again.

"Strange?" Du Ge shook his head and sighed. "I know what you're thinking. If the Heavenly Demon King will leave, why not just let him go? But the scariest part of the Heavenly Demon struggle isn't the creation of the Heavenly Demon King but the process of creating him.

In the southern regions, they use poisonous insects to fight each other. But Heavenly Demons need ordinary people as nourishment for their battles.

The reason I'm going to great lengths to unite everyone is to make the Heavenly Demon struggle less destructive, to eliminate them before they grow too strong, so the world suffers less. That's why I tried to draw all the Heavenly Demons' attention to myself during the interview..."

You probably want to use us to eliminate other Heavenly Demons and become the final Heavenly Demon King yourself!

Everyone automatically ignored Du Ge's compassionate words and filtered out the essence of his speech.

But thinking carefully, if what he said was true, letting Du Ge become the Heavenly Demon King wasn't unacceptable. Compared to the Heavenly Demon who killed people in the streets, Du Ge was strong yet merciful.

Compared to the ever-confessing Chen Ziyong, he was much stronger.

Instead of finding someone else to eliminate Cheng Yu, it was better to let Cheng Yu devour everyone and then send him away.

But the premise was to confirm that Cheng Yu's Gu theory was true.

Otherwise.

If they left behind an unscrupulous Heavenly Demon King, they would all be sinners.
