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

Du Ge's Research Office was hastily established after the recent victory on the Alien Star Battlefield.

The purpose was to study Du Ge's tactics, his understanding and application of Keywords, and to cultivate more talents like him, so they could achieve more victories on the Alien Star Battlefield and bring back more resources.

The complete annihilation of Group C, contrasted with Du Ge's back-to-back lightning victories on the Alien Star Battlefield, made everyone realize that the old tactical models were no longer suitable for the new battlefield.

At this moment.

Everyone in the office was watching Du Ge's latest replay video. Some were scribbling notes on paper, unsure if they were taking notes or writing down their insights.

Du Ge's importance to the future of Qi Yuan Star had grown so much that the previous experts studying him were no longer qualified.

Thus, the office director was now the Chairman of the Council himself.

As the video ended, the Chairman paused it and said, "Everyone, this is the entirety of the latest Alien Star Battlefield. What are your thoughts on the concept of the 'Child of Destiny'?"

"If his Keyword is loyalty, then his victory on the Alien Star Battlefield was indeed mostly due to luck, which fits the idea of a Child of Destiny," said General Fu, who was previously in charge of new talent introductions. "In several key battles, someone always jumped in to help him. It was too coincidental and didn't match his two skills."

"Yes, his Keyword isn't luck, yet he seems to have incredible luck on the battlefield," a strategist added. "Moreover, the imperial teacher who joined Du Ge also said he represents the trend."

"He's participated in two Alien Star Battlefields and won first place both times. His mental power has reached 550,000, almost catching up to Hua Guyun," another general in uniform said.

"General Bai, Du Ge has already surpassed Hua Guyun," General Fu corrected. "Hua Guyun, the former president, only achieved four consecutive victories on the Alien Star Battlefield, and he didn't come in first in the first two. Moreover, his total mental power for those battles was only 320,000. Most importantly, Hua Guyun spent over 700 years on the Alien Star Battlefield, while Du Ge has only been there for a year."

"Pan-Universal Entertainment also called out others to the battlefield, but only held a special match for him."

"Moreover, Pan-Universal Entertainment even changed the rules for him, prohibiting free body possession..."

Comparisons are always daunting.

After everyone in the office listed Du Ge's extraordinary achievements, the room fell into a brief silence.

After a long pause.

Someone finally said, "I really think he's the Child of Destiny now."

A strategist next to him added, "And a true Child of Destiny who can influence Pan-Universal Entertainment."

"The future hope of Qi Yuan Star rests on his shoulders."

"It's hard to imagine he's only eighteen. When Hua Guyun came back from the Alien Star Battlefield, he was young too, but his psychological age was that of an old man in his seven or eight hundreds."

...

Everyone in the office attributed Du Ge's success to being the Child of Destiny, getting more excited as they spoke, as if this was the only way to balance their feelings.

Yes!

Du Ge is the Child of Destiny, he's different, that's why he's so powerful. We're just ordinary people, achieving what we have now is already quite good, not being able to compare to the Child of Destiny is normal.

Sigh!

Nan Youlong looked at everyone in the office and sighed silently. Well, whether Du Ge is making things up or not, he's truly become the Child of Destiny this time.

Knock, knock!

The Chairman lightly tapped the table twice, surveying everyone. "So, everyone believes Du Ge's identity as the Child of Destiny is real."

Everyone nodded.

The Chairman asked, "You've all watched Du Ge's performance on the Alien Star Battlefield. What are your thoughts on his two skills? Does Loyalty Unmatched and Following the Leader have the ability to influence others' minds? Analyze why Du Ge insists on going to the Propaganda Department.

I know he must have personal motives. It's normal for people to have personal motives, but Du Ge is too young. Young people are impulsive. If his skills can influence the majority, and he does something detrimental to us, it would be bad for us and Qi Yuan Star."

The office fell silent again.

The Chairman was right; everyone has personal motives, including them.

Du Ge's performance on the Alien Star Battlefield was indeed exaggerated. If he could really control others through his skills, who would dare oppose him?

No one wanted Qi Yuan Star to become Du Ge's one-man show.

"Chairman, I don't think Du Ge has any malicious intent, and his skills aren't enough to influence others' minds," Nan Youlong said. "I've investigated those who returned with him. Most of them just admire Du Ge, but they still have their own thoughts, with some wanting to surpass him or feeling jealous.

On the Alien Star Battlefield, neither the imperial teacher nor Luo Shuang showed signs of being controlled.

Moreover, Du Ge is focused on going to the Alien Star Battlefield to improve himself and break free from Pan-Universal Entertainment's control. He won't stay in reality for long. I don't think we need to suspect an eighteen-year-old with malice.

Further, by the time Du Ge is twenty-five and returns from the Alien Star Battlefield, even the Chairman might not be able to suppress him! And considering the high risk of the Alien Star Battlefield, if Du Ge dies there, even if he has the ability to influence reality, his skills would become ineffective upon his death. So, I think we can cooperate with Du Ge to fulfill his wish."

Another silence ensued.

General Fu added, "Chief Nan makes sense. Looking at Du Ge's experiences in the Simulation Field and the Alien Star Battlefield, he has never harmed his own people. I believe we can trust him."

"Du Ge has just made a significant contribution to Qi Yuan Star. If we reject his only request, it would surely dishearten him," General Bai said. "We can grant him some permissions, and we can have people review the content he publishes. If there are overly suggestive messages, we can block them."

...

That day.

Du Ge's Research Office approved his position as the head of the Propaganda Department and once again informed the people of Qi Yuan Star of this great victory.

Two consecutive victories meant a bountiful harvest of resources for Qi Yuan Star next year.

Many desperate citizens who were ready to risk everything temporarily restrained themselves, waiting for the abundant resources of the coming year.

After the second replay video was made public, Du Ge became a role model for most students.

More and more students began to change their thinking, delving into the mysteries of the table-flipping and fast-pushing strategies.

The trend was surging.

Du Ge's mental power was rising with the tide.

After returning to Qi Yuan Star for two days, his consciousness could almost cover the entire capital.

Du Ge didn't test his mental power.

But based on estimates, his mental power should have increased by about 200,000 in these two days.

Over a million in mental power isn't enough to let consciousness cover the capital. After all, consciousness is also limited by the physical body. Once it reaches a certain level, it stops increasing.

Even warriors returning from the Alien Star Battlefield, limited by their bodies, can only have their consciousness cover about two kilometers, similar to when he was in the first Simulation Field.

The reason Du Ge's consciousness could cover the entire capital was likely due to the Power of Faith.

As for the two skills of Loyalty, they probably didn't come out.

Bringing skills back from the Alien Star Battlefield is a matter of probability; bringing them back every time is abnormal.

This was within Du Ge's expectations, but the two skills from the trend were already enough.

Now, except for the places where the president and council members work and live, which he couldn't penetrate, the capital had no secrets for Du Ge.

Many secrets and decisions, even if the council members discussed them behind his back, mostly couldn't escape his ears.

After all, council members are active. In some entertainment venues, they always let something slip. As long as they speak, they can't hide it from Du Ge.

Through precise spying, Du Ge knew who among the capital's officials were satisfied with him and who truly appreciated him.

But Du Ge didn't care about these officials' attitudes towards him.

His current opponent was Pan-Universal Entertainment. This cage-like Qi Yuan Star was ultimately just a stepping stone and tool for him.
