In the following days, the "Human Daily" shifted its focus to sanctification and war preparation among other things, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the human race.

Duge inspected the Five States, punishing corrupt officials while simultaneously aiding scholars and military generals to grow, frantically bolstering his own credit and reputation in preparation for "Containing the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth".

The still-living alien warriors became highly sought after, courted by various powerhouses and provided with massive resources for their growth and development.

The sudden treatment stunned the numerous alien warriors; they had never had such benefits before on the alien battlefield.

There were no fools chosen to ascend the alien battlefield.

There is no such thing as baseless love, just as there is no baseless hatred. Behind the sudden stroke of luck, who knows how many dangers were hidden.

But in a world where they couldn't control their own destinies, all they could do was to go along with it.

At least in this world, cultivation techniques were linked to spiritual power. With the Big Demon Duge pressing down on them, most of the alien warriors no longer thought of striving to win the game; they just hoped to survive and walk off the alien battlefield alive.

Then, their planets wouldn't be able to hold them accountable for any crimes, as a high enough spiritual power would be their privilege.

As for planetary resources?

No matter when, the privileged always had food and drink.

However.

Aside from the warriors from Qiyuan Star, the keywords of the surviving alien warriors from other planets were not that great.

Because some keywords were very useful, those alien warriors who jumped the gun in the early stages were taken out in the first round.

The warriors from Qiyuan Star firmly believed that the ruler of the Mortal Realm was Duge. They were the least concerned about the future, cheerfully gaining experience and enjoying the pleasure of clinging to a strong leg.

But soon.

A new message released by Pan-Universe Entertainment unsettled all alien warriors: "Due to the rather weak opposition in this alien battlefield, the game rules have been changed to eliminate the last ten each month."

Upon this announcement, all alien warriors went into a frenzy, making their presence felt in the world through various means.

It was just unfortunate for those with keywords like "cowardice," "trepidation," or "mourning," which couldn't be promoted no matter how hard one tried.

Warriors with these keywords had to rely on expanding their influence to gain presence, but in an era where everyone was as mighty as a dragon, how easy was it to increase influence without the divine skills and strengths provided by keywords?

They were not Duge.

Even the Demon King and Underworld Emperor, when choosing their hosts for body snatching, would not choose them.

The big shots were all born with destinies that made them the favored children of heaven. They firmly believed that luck was also a part of strength. Being allocated these trashy keywords was a sign that they were not favored by fate, choosing them would be to make an enemy of oneself...

...

Upon seeing the new rules, Duge was greatly relieved.

Pan-Universe Entertainment had clearly taken his advice into account, allowing the alien warriors to be body snatched to accelerate the game progress of the alien battlefield.

This was good news for him, but at the same time, it wasn't.

Speeding up the pace of the alien battlefield could potentially cause his plan to "Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth" and brush up the Incarnation of Heaven to fail.

Nevertheless, Duge was already quite content. He was just a puppet controlled by others, how could everything go as he wished?

Within the limited rules, doing the best he could would be enough.

After seeing the message, Duge immediately introspected his Divine Soul, which was still damaged, but the physical constraints on his soul had loosened. He was now able to have his Divine Soul leave his body and even split it.

Unfortunately, the still and lifeless soul of Duge from Qiyuan Star remained entangled with his own, and even if he split his soul, he couldn't separate Duge of Qiyuan Star's soul on its own.

Since he couldn't split it, Duge simply refrained from cutting. He had already suffered once from soul splitting, and he couldn't afford to do it again.

Moreover, not being able to separate out Qiyuan Star's Duge's soul might be due to his insufficient Realm, but the fact that his soul could leave the body had already proven that the alien warriors could be body snatched.

Back in the Mortal Realm, Duge observed the other alien warriors. Their Divine Souls were complete without any deficiencies.

He also learned from an alien warrior who had cultivated the Underworld Emperor's techniques that his soul was problem-free.

This proved that the loss of his soul could very likely be due to Split Soul, and not because Pan-Universe Entertainment controlled the alien warriors by cutting off a piece of their souls...

Misery wrought by one's own actions, this was indeed exasperating news.

...

The new decree caused the greatest panic among Gao Ming and others.

The Daoist Ancestor accelerated their growth, elevating their realm to Daluo Golden Immortal, but their influence in the Mortal Realm was insufficient, and they were listed at the bottom of the rankings.

These days, they had been hiding their identities in the Mortal Realm and brushing up all their skills. Although they had finished enhancing their skills, they dared not increase their own popularity.

The Daoist Ancestor had given them the task of opposing Duge; forcefully expanding their popularity now could potentially attract Duge's attention. By then, even if they wanted to defect to the Heavenly Court, they might not be able to leave.
