Chapter 348 - - 346 Sky Gang Land Killing Descend to the Mortal Realm_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Shi Pingchuan and Pei Maer were calculating against each other, each wanting to turn the other into their own experience pack.

On Duge’s side, however, he had attracted the warriors from Qiyuan Star to vie for his favor.

The warriors from Qiyuan Star, who had refrained from joining Duge immediately after the war to avoid suspicion, watched as Linyang City changed day by day and could no longer hold back after two days.

The first one who had sworn allegiance to him, Zhang Yizhi, had already reaped a great benefit. If they didn’t seize the opportunity now, when Duge had enough people by his side, what would be left for them?

Duge was notorious for turning his face and not recognizing people. Once he started to kill on all sides, whether they could survive was still a question!

Like Shi Pingchuan, who had obtained a good hand of cards and aspired to prove himself, paving the way for future battlefields on Alien Stars was ultimately a minority.

In the eyes of most, surviving on the battlefield of the Alien Star was victory.

If they wanted to prove themselves, there would be plenty of opportunities later on. If Duge could dominate every battle, they didn’t mind being his little followers in each, getting through all the Alien Battlefields with him.

…

“Brother Du, my name is Ge Zong, the keyword is ‘outrageous,’ and I’m currently ranked 578th. Brother Du, just assign me a spot as you please. Point me east, and I’ll never go west; tell me to beat a dog, I’ll never chase a chicken…” a thirty-something-year-old cripple with two chicken feathers stuck in his hair, revealing a sycophantic smile with his large yellow teeth towards Duge.

“Brother Du, my name is Guan Feipeng, the keyword is ‘graceful,’ and I’m currently ranked 603rd. Just assign me a spot too,” a fat man with a large head and a protruding belly scratched his head and chuckled.

“Brother Du, my name is Xiang Li, the keyword is ‘perverted,’ and I’m currently ranked 227th, which is a bit higher than theirs. If you could mold me into someone like Wang San, I could definitely help you out a lot…” said a girl about seventeen or eighteen, with a bird’s nest hairstyle, caked-on blush, thick brows drawn with charcoal pencil, and fiddling with a grass snake in her hand as she spoke to Duge.

Outrageous?

Graceful?

Perverted?

Looking at the three people in front of him, Duge’s head started to throb. Indeed, there were some especially unlucky folks in every world!

‘Outrageous’ and ‘perverted’ might still be workable.

But to stumble upon a middle-aged man, whose keyword is ‘graceful,’ a term usually used to describe women—how was he to play this?

With such a keyword, shouldn’t he just stay at home honestly, do nothing, and pretend to be a local until the game was over?

Why come to me? I can’t turn you into a woman!

Alright then!

‘Graceful’ could also be developed towards becoming proper and dignified, but tell me, what use is this keyword when competing for the world?

Not only Duge was dumbfounded; so were the State Preceptor and Zhang Yizhi.

It would be more accurate to say the State Preceptor pledged allegiance to Duge rather than to Luo Shuang.

These days, the State Preceptor stuck closely to Duge’s side, looking for all the world like his lackey.

However, most of the time, the State Preceptor didn’t speak much. Even because of the Way of Nature, people like Zhang Yizhi and Luo Shuang often overlooked his presence, speaking out loud things they would normally only say when alone.

Given this, Duge seriously doubted that the State Preceptor knew so much information because he observed the celestial phenomena; it was very likely that he had eavesdropped using his marvelous Way of Nature.

This guy’s Way of Nature was just too suitable for being a spy.

The State Preceptor was constantly making his presence known around Duge, likely indicating his loyalty and harmlessness to Duge.

Now aware of the State Preceptor’s special talents, Duge simply stopped guarding against him.

The State Preceptor was probably hearing such preposterous keywords for the first time and seeing such a destitute Alien Warrior, clutching his beard and stiffly standing there, half a day went by without a breath.

At this moment, he finally understood why there were so many Heavenly Demons, yet only a few had names and titles. With all the preposterousness and perversity, disguising oneself as an Immortal God was not easy!

No.

It shouldn’t be too hard either.

The State Preceptor quickly recalled the battle between Duge and Cao Lin, savoring the details, and suddenly realized that, aside from being dignified, which Duge clearly wasn’t, slapping the labels of preposterous and perverse onto him seemed to fit quite well…

Zhang Yizhi cast a sympathetic gaze in their direction.

Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat; even the poorest keywords, once awakening the appropriate advanced skills, can yield miraculous results.

Duge asked, “Have you awakened advanced skills?”

All three shook their heads at the same time.

Ge Zong, with the preposterous keyword, said, “A few days ago, Shi Pingchuan rampaged through Chongming Country, capturing anyone who showed the slightest anomaly. For keywords like ours, talking about advanced skills is out of the question, a single move means death, we dare not even show our faces.

It was only in the past few days that you, Brother Du, caused a big commotion, throwing Chongming Country into chaos, drawing everyone’s attention, allowing us to sneak in some attribute enhancements. As soon as we saw your summon, Brother Du, we immediately rushed over.”

Feipeng, awkwardly laughing, said, “Brother Du, I honestly have no idea how to develop my own attributes.”

“Here you call him Imperial Master,” Zhang Yizhi reminded, “without rules, we cannot make a circle. If you keep calling him Brother Du, what will others think upon hearing it? It diminishes the Imperial Master’s dignity.”

“Yes, Imperial Master,” the three hastily changed their address.

Duge looked at the three of them, fell silent for a moment, then turned to the State Preceptor and said, “State Preceptor, I want to establish a ranking for the return of the stars to their rightful place.”

Only then did the others notice the presence of the State Preceptor, which startled them, “State Preceptor?”

“What return of the stars?” The State Preceptor didn’t bother with them but looked at Duge and asked.

“The 108 Star Generals of the Sky Gang Land Killing,” Duge said, “Previously, I spread the rumors that the Fourth Princess was a sky-ordained destiny. I plan to amplify this rumor further, through the mouth of the State Preceptor, to create the momentum of the stars returning to their rightful place, to take back the world for the princess.”

“The return of the stars?” The State Preceptor frowned, “Imperial Master, could you please clarify?”

“For instance, I am the Sky Puppet Star — Imperial Master He Xu; State Preceptor could be the Sky Gang Star; Cao Lin could be the Sky Killing Star; Zhang Yizhi could be the Heaven-Supporting Star; Wei Tingjiang could be the Sky Hero Star…”

As Duge spoke, he looked at Xiang Li, who had the perverse keyword, and continued, “Xiang Li can be the Earth Tease Star; Ge Zong can be the Earth Alien Star; Feipeng can be the Earth Stable Star… And for any other generals or Heavenly Demons who come over to our side, we can continue to find them a matching star. This would legitimate their titles, attract more people to our cause, and also provide a reasonable explanation for their out-of-the-ordinary behavior.”

The Earth Tease Star?

The first few were fine, but when it came to the Earth Tease Star, the State Preceptor looked at Xiang Li out of instinct and blurted out, “Tease?”

“The Earth Tease Star?” Xiang Li’s eyes widened in shock.

“Yes, the Earth Tease Star,” Duge looked at her seriously, “We are at war here, fighting to restore the Fourth Princess’s country. Your perverse keyword is hard to place. If handled poorly, it could even tarnish the Princess’s reputation. But if we set you as the Earth Tease Star, you can be perverse with full legitimacy and even if you form a perverse army on the battlefield, no one would speak against you. Instead, they’d think you fit your character perfectly.”

The State Preceptor gave a wry smile, “Imperial Master, but there are no such stars in the sky.”

“As long as the State Preceptor says there are, then there definitely are,” Duge smiled, “There are so many stars in the sky, who knows what each represents? Anyone who dares to refute you is simply unlearned. Besides, what do the common folk understand? They are merely looking for entertainment…”

“…” The State Preceptor fell silent for a moment, “Very well!”

“Imperial Master, does it have to be the Earth Tease Star?” Xiang Li got the point quickly but felt somewhat reluctant that while others were named after the sky, she was named after the earth. She looked at Duge, “Can’t I be the Sky Tease Star?”

“The Fourth Princess is descended from the sky; you, as a pervert, having a Sky Tease Star would give off the wrong impression,” Duge looked at her and smiled, “Xiang Li, as long as you make a big enough scene on the battlefield and play your part well, there’s no need to care about being aligned with the Sky or the Earth. Whether you succeed depends entirely on your own performance…”

“Du… Imperial Master, while they have the Earth Tease Star and Earth Alien Star to develop, what about me with the Earth Stable Star? How do I go about it?” Feipeng asked awkwardly.

Duge looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, “First, try to form a royal guard for the Princess. See if you can develop advanced skills. If the advanced skills are suitable, we’ll find a way to help you develop your keyword…”
