Chapter 374: Power of Faith
after acquiring the cheat code huang liang, no one could rival du ge, especially since he also had the even more powerful cheat codes of the linyang daily and zodiac fortunes.
the zodiac fortunes added a luck buff, and the linyang daily boosted everyone's fame and attributes.
the greatest weapon was gao ming. after attributing all the enemy-killing achievements to him, his terrifying swordsmanship became deeply ingrained in people's minds. the power of the heavenly spirit sword technique grew day by day. no one who had seen sword eighteen and fought against gao ming lived to see the next morning.
as more people witnessed the power of sword eighteen and sword nineteen, gao ming's reputation surpassed that of the qinglan sword saint, becoming the foremost swordsman and earning the title of yunyao sword immortal.
more and more swordsmanship grandmasters began to study the heavenly spirit sword technique, all eagerly hoping to one day witness yunyao immortal's sword domain, which they believed to be the ultimate realm of swordsmanship.
as more people discovered the benefits brought by zodiac fortunes, the zodiac truly became a cultural phenomenon. those who studied astronomy and star signs began to search the skies for the embodiments of the zodiac...
...
with various buffs enhancing him, the remaining time became garbage time.
even though marshal guan qiong of the chu kingdom had six alien star warriors under his command, including fei zhu, who was in the top ten, du ge easily defeated him.
fei zhu's keyword was "imitation," and he had awakened the skill "indistinguishable from the real," which allowed him to instantly replicate all of his opponent's skills.
but when leng shi led his men to attack, fei zhu didn't even know how he died...
after eliminating the alien star warriors, guan qiong's chu army lost its threat and was naturally incorporated into du ge's forces. with so many precedents, guan qiong didn't even put up symbolic resistance and simply surrendered.
after subduing guan qiong, the next targets were the king of chu and concubine wu tong.
wu tong had kept over twenty alien star warriors by her side. these twenty warriors had keywords like calculation, abstraction, loneliness, balance, and others, both good and bad.
they had defense, offense, and support, and combined with her charm, wu tong thought she could at least put up a fight against du ge. but she was instantly defeated in a single encounter.
she didn't even know how her meticulously crafted integrated defense was breached...
...
no one could withstand two hits from du ge.
the simulation was too overpowered.
in a month's time,
pei ma'er, wei jiuchou, fei zhu, wu tong...
one by one, the top ten warriors were eliminated by du ge.
except for ma shichun of the beihai kingdom, all the top ten positions were controlled by du ge's people.
meng chu, who had once squeezed into the top ten as a lieutenant general of the beihai kingdom, was completely pushed out by the little huang liang of tianyan star and never made a comeback. ř
during this period,
more people from qi yuan star gathered around du ge.
wang san's keyword in this battle was "miserable," and his awakened skill was "who's more miserable than me," which could forcibly drag his opponent into a misery contest with him.
in solo combat, this was a useless skill, as it harmed both the enemy and himself, only effective against weaker opponents.
even though du ge had gathered all the surviving people from qi yuan star around him, none had skills related to scouting.
finding a few dozen people hiding among billions was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
since they were determined to hide, du ge decided not to look for them. instead, he used the zodiac fortunes and the alien star warriors gathered around him to launch a grand campaign to restore livelihood in qingwu kingdom, advancing scientific research and martial arts.
he still had one skill left to unlock in his trend; why rush back to qi yuan star? enjoying life here was just as good.
when fighting wei jiuchou, wei jiuchou displayed his talent as a fire mage, but his fire magic was far inferior to du ge's power of poseidon. it might have great destructive power against ordinary people.
but against alien star warriors with strong regenerative abilities, it was like scratching an itch.
using magic to fight a grandmaster was impossible, which was why magic was inferior to martial arts in this world...
however, with the zodiac fortunes' boost, the research on magic by mages advanced rapidly, and martial arts grandmasters also progressed daily, each stepping into the realm of grandmasters.
the first to become a grandmaster was the imperial teacher chen su. his way of nature emphasized merging with nature, lacking significant offensive power, but after becoming a grandmaster, he could summon wind and rain, call forth thunder and lightning, showing signs of transforming into a terrestrial immortal.
as for the qinglan sword saint, after secretly observing yunyao's heavenly spirit sword technique several times, he actually deduced sword twenty-three...
and huangfu yue, the first female general under luo shuang, relying on her fanatical obsession with du ge, also awakened the grandmaster's path in two months. with a single spear thrust, flowers bloomed everywhere, and no one could protect their rear under her spear.
...
another two months passed.
du ge, who had been racking his brains to write zodiac fortunes every day, finally awakened the second skill of his trend:
power of faith: those who follow the trend you set will provide you with the power of faith.
as soon as the skill emerged, du ge felt a dramatic change in his mental power.
it was as if the mental power of many people was converging toward him from all directions.
in an instant, his mental power jumped from over four hundred thousand to over a million.
his divine sense's coverage area rapidly expanded to one city, then two cities, and continued to spread every moment.
wherever his divine sense covered, he could hear the chirping of birds and the whispers of people clearly.
without even trying to distinguish, du ge could accurately pinpoint the direction of the sounds.
faith turned into divinity!
at that moment, du ge was astonished by this skill. if he continued to promote zodiac fortunes, those hidden alien star warriors would eventually be exposed unless they never spoke or revealed their extraordinary behavior.
but pan-universal entertainment didn't give du ge the chance to wield his divine power.
as soon as du ge's consciousness covered half the planet, they decisively ended the alien star battlefield and sent everyone back.
the top ten spots were fixed.
the odds for wu chang and huang liang had dropped to the lowest, and no gamblers were willing to bet anymore. continuing the alien star battlefield was meaningless.
