Du Ge

Du Ge is a Qi Yuan Star civilian student whose ability to reinterpret keywords turns him from the lowest-ranked simulation contestant into the destroyer of Pan-Universal Entertainment's control system. Across successive possessed identities, he builds organizations faster than his enemies can understand them, converts social influence into physical growth, and accumulates cultivation, divine power, faith, and skills. His pursuit gradually changes from winning resources for his homeworld to freeing himself and his companions from a civilization that treats their lives as entertainment. (Chapters 1, 259, 446, 509–512, and 655)

Appearance

Du Ge has no single battlefield appearance because his soul repeatedly possesses local bodies. His early hosts range from the injured Feng Qi and the pirate Paul Wells to the child Iron Head and the condemned Holly Arlaus; he also lives as Wang Chong, Leng Shi, Lin Hong, and Kou Nan. He treats each body as material to be repaired and strengthened, so keyword growth, cultivation, and divine power progressively erase its original frailty. Other contestants therefore recognize him more reliably through audacity, speech patterns, and impossible rates of advancement than through a face. (Chapters 1–5, 127, 190, 299, 379, 450, 512, and 597)

By the final battlefield, the Seed of Humanity rebuilds Kou Nan at the cellular level. Du Ge can rearrange every cell into a perfect copy of a person, animal, plant, or other living form, while preserving his own soul. After reclaiming his distributed avatar, each cell can divide into a complete independent individual. His original Qi Yuan body is later transformed by immense mental and divine power, but his perfected Kou Nan body remains stronger until Du Ge repossesses it from the Heart of Cangjie. (Chapters 609–610 and 655)

Personality

Du Ge is daring, improvisational, and exceptionally alert to loopholes. When a literal reading of a keyword would keep him weak, he gives it a broader public meaning—maintenance becomes the preservation of peace, plunder becomes a legal economic system, and persuasion becomes the declaration of new natural laws. He rarely waits for perfect information. Instead, he creates a trend, watches how the rules respond, and then builds institutions and narratives that make his interpretation difficult to reverse. (Chapters 21–29, 193–204, 309–320, and 547–559)

He is also manipulative and morally flexible. Du Ge lies, stages public spectacles, coerces confessions, engineers wars, and turns enemies' assumptions into weapons. Yet he does not pursue cruelty for its own sake: he protects allies who commit to him, repeatedly organizes aid for ordinary people, refuses indiscriminate killing when testing brutality, and deliberately leaves a second brutal skill unawakened so Pan-Universal Entertainment cannot use it against the world he is leaving. His benevolence is partly strategic, but the loyalty he earns and the limits he sets become real commitments. (Chapters 91–120, 381–425, 512–522, and 595)

Freedom is the value that ultimately organizes his choices. Early victories are about survival, ranking, and resources for Qi Yuan Star; later, the company's possession of contestant bodies makes him recognize that even a champion remains property. He accepts extreme risks to preserve fragments of himself beyond recall, keeps entering battlefields when retirement is available, and encourages companions to decide whether they share that struggle. His final freedom keyword produces no skill while he is still constrained, a judgment he accepts as accurate. Only after ending both the company's control and the Heart of Cangjie's manipulation does he lose the interface that had marked his bondage. (Chapters 259, 444–446, 498–512, 597–604, 622, and 655)

Biography

Turning maintenance into dominion

Du Ge enters his first simulation with sixty points of mental power, ranked last, and possesses the badly injured Feng Qi. His paired keywords, maintenance and betrayal, appear contradictory: one rewards sincere protection while the other rewards attacks on trusted parties. He first feeds the rival contestant Feng Jiu to keep him alive, thereby developing Sacrifice for Righteousness, then exposes Feng Jiu's identity and attacks him. That sequence teaches Du Ge his foundational lesson: keyword growth follows an action's defensible meaning, and two opposed concepts can reinforce one another if he controls the relationship around them. (Chapters 1–4)

Rather than remain a Feng-family retainer, Du Ge defines maintenance as preserving the entire martial world. He forms the Peacekeeping Gang, later the Peacekeeping Alliance, and treats expansion, confiscation, and intervention as necessary measures against disorder. Public recognition makes that claim materially effective, while attacks on the reputation and achievements supporting it weaken him. Wang San and Feng Zhong begin as dangerous strangers, but Du Ge gives their specialized abilities a place within his organization and gradually turns mutual dependence into battlefield trust. His leadership is thus both ideological and practical: the story people believe supplies power, but capable partners keep the story alive. (Chapters 17–29, 37–43, and 68–73)

His attributes eventually eclipse the martial artists around him, yet the campaign exposes important limits. Du Ge lacks their accumulated technique, can be trapped by terrain, and cannot simply overpower every formation. He compensates with surprise, propaganda, and the betrayal skill Eyes at the Back of the Head, using a sudden backstab to kill Tong Shihong before a prolonged duel can expose his deficiencies. After becoming alliance leader, he provokes the remaining powers into a confrontation, preserves his companions, and finishes first. More importantly, he returns with the simulation's skills still attached to him, the first sign that his relationship with the keyword system is abnormal. (Chapters 53–60, 66–78)

Making kindness transactional

Outside the simulation, Du Ge's success makes him valuable but politically vulnerable. He is a civilian-school student among elite-academy interests, and his reunion with Gao Ming and Yin Erchuan reveals both genuine friendship and the pressure to turn his methods into national assets. In the next simulation he possesses Qi Feihu with trade and kindness, while his previous active abilities are unavailable inside the new scenario. Instead of mourning that loss, he founds Infinite Charity Company and defines loyalty, protection, and social order as commodities whose prices can be negotiated. (Chapters 79–91)

Transparent Pricing lets him set the price of goods and services he operates, including nonmaterial considerations such as allegiance. Everything Is Tradable expands that premise until attributes, keywords, and mental power can enter a mutually profitable exchange. Du Ge uses contracts, proxy purchasers, public charity, and an auction to make coercive bargains look reciprocal; Gao Ming helps him turn scattered transactions into a network. His motivation is not merely wealth. By making opponents participate in the same market, he reduces direct resistance and discovers that abstract rules can be manipulated as readily as swords or property. (Chapters 91–105 and 111–120)

The company briefly pushes his in-field mental power above two thousand, and he distributes some of it to allies, but the settlement strips away much of that apparent gain and leaves him with 550. The outcome corrects his growing confidence: mental power improves possession, perception, and endurance, yet it does not make a soul invulnerable to a stronger host, sunlight, wind, or cultivation methods designed to attack spirits. Du Ge leaves with a much sharper distinction between temporary keyword amplification and durable personal strength, which drives his later efforts to cultivate the soul itself. (Chapters 119–123)

Claiming the sea and paying its price

Du Ge next becomes the pirate Paul Wells, carrying 1,100 mental power and the keywords joy and fishing in troubled waters. He turns laughter, absurd names, and staged notoriety into the Sea Fish Pirates' recruiting language, but his crucial breakthrough is legalistic: in chaos, anything he touches can become his private property. People, fish, weapons, and ships can all be claimed, and a claimed person requires Du Ge's authorization to use personal possessions. The ability is formidable at contact range, yet it depends on disorder and can be countered by freedom, which can release private property from his control. (Chapters 127–130, 168, and 182)

His search for a power that can survive beyond keyword rankings leads him through Selma's bargains and the Sea God's legacy. The Destiny Sea Chart guides him toward the Golden Compass, which in turn points to the Trident of the Sea God. Selma's trades also give him underwater adaptations and artifacts, but each exchange is limited to something she possesses and no stronger than she is. Du Ge therefore assembles the route through bargaining, piracy, and alliances rather than receiving an unrestricted gift. (Chapters 166–173 and 177–182)

At the ocean floor, mortal physiology finally stops him: crushing pressure prevents him from personally retrieving the trident. After Enke brings it within reach, Du Ge carves his ownership mark into it and gains underwater life and command of the sea, only to have the artifact drain his life force and age him rapidly. He survives by taking vitality from sea creatures, then Janice completes the inheritance by returning Sea God power to him. The power rejuvenates him and binds his gestures to waves and currents. Du Ge wins the simulation, but the near-death cost establishes a recurring rule of his advancement: acquiring a higher order of power requires a compatible body or a dangerous transformation. (Chapters 182–184)

Plundering a path through cultivation

On an Alien Star Battlefield, Du Ge possesses Wang Chong, the surviving head of the ruined Seven Stars Sect, and receives plunder and nobility. He chooses to rebuild the sect rather than flee. Plucking Feathers makes anything passing through his hands lose something: repeated contact can remove possessions, limbs, organs, cultivation, or other intangible power. It is not an automatic victory, because he must touch the target, stronger opponents can resist, and ranged attacks can keep him away. Du Ge therefore surrounds a predatory close-combat ability with contracts, public rules, and an economic system that lets victims call the transfer legitimate. (Chapters 190–193)

Acting in Heaven's Stead deepens that system by taking strength from someone stronger than Du Ge and giving his own strength to someone weaker. Combined with Plucking Feathers, it lets him redistribute cultivation while presenting the Seven Stars Sect as an institution that disciplines exploiters. The nobility skill Benevolent Healer further inclines people he helps toward goodwill. These abilities do not erase hostility or let him drain an expert instantly, but they shorten the dangerous contact time and convert beneficiaries into a protective social base. Du Ge's motives now combine victory with preparation: he needs a cultivation structure capable of making power part of the soul rather than a temporary host attribute. (Chapters 204–206, 229, and 259)

He advances by taking both methods and purified power, breaking through Foundation Establishment, forming a Golden Elixir, and using it like an engine that expands his meridians and refines incoming energy. His rise accelerates from Golden Elixir through Divine Transformation and Body Fusion to Mahayana, but each step still requires a suitable method or a stronger reservoir to absorb. By the final confrontations his combat power exceeds ordinary Mahayana classifications, allowing him to overturn the world's established hierarchy. He nevertheless recognizes that Pan-Universal Entertainment can still end the battlefield and take his body, so he declares that defeating the local world is no longer enough; true victory requires freedom from the observer above it. (Chapters 206–221, 229–256, and 259–261)

Turning friendship, trends, and royal authority into force

During controlled training, Du Ge develops a durable soul through the Soul Concentration Technique. His keywords friendship and discrimination teach him to borrow strength socially as well as steal it physically. No Fight, No Friendship makes defeated foes become genuine friends without erasing their independent opinions. Together Through Thick and Thin lets him draw power from those friends, temporarily assembling an Inner Core, Golden Elixir, and Yang spirit far beyond his normal stage, but it leaves the contributors drained and the borrowed cultivation disappears when the effect ends. His discrimination-derived ridicule sustains regeneration and helps merge techniques, yet depends on actively expressing contempt and provoking a target. (Chapters 265–293)

In the next real battlefield, Du Ge becomes Leng Shi and selects the deposed princess Luo Shuang as the person his loyalty will serve. He acts as her teacher and imperial adviser, using inherited Sea God power to survive threats while building a restoration movement around her claim. His loyalty skill encourages lower-status followers to imitate his conduct, so slogans, dress, discipline, and rituals propagate from the top of the organization. The relationship begins as a keyword strategy, but Du Ge repeatedly gives Luo Shuang knowledge, authority, and room to rule, while she accepts his frightening methods because they restore a future that had been taken from her. (Chapters 299–320)

His other keyword, trend, makes a movement he initiates difficult to stop: actions aligned with it receive twice the result, while resistance achieves only half. Du Ge uses the effect to turn a fragile rebellion into an expected historical outcome and embodies royal discipline in the King-Beating Whip. The weapon later becomes the Admonition Cane, an indestructible derived item whose blows isolate a target's attention on the striker and arouse bodily desire, creating control rather than simple damage. Power of Faith then lets believers in Du Ge's movements feed him mental power, but only when they know, adopt, and attribute the trend to him. By the end, that faith helps raise his mental power to roughly 550,000 and remains available after his return. (Chapters 309–320, 367–377)

Splitting the soul beneath the gods

Du Ge enters the divine battlefield as Holly Arlaus, a condemned prisoner with more than two million mental power and the keywords integrity and division. Facing execution, he turns the jail into the nucleus of the Nation of Justice, mixing confession, moral argument, and staged miracles until prisoners and guards see him as King Holly rather than a criminal. He also awakens a ten-star Sea God martial soul. His enormous mental reserve supports wide-area consciousness and strengthens the martial soul, but rhetoric remains essential: he needs people to recognize the protected community and the moral order from which his keyword grows. (Chapters 379–390)

Iron-Faced Impartial forces people to confess acts that they themselves regard as evil, making it useful for exposure, disruption, and breaking coalitions. It cannot convict through Du Ge's standards alone and fails against someone who sincerely believes in their innocence. Protection of the People grants resistance to mental control in proportion to the number of people who recognize themselves as under his protection, but it is a battlefield skill rather than a permanent shield he can carry home. Du Ge uses both limitations politically: he expands recognition through public justice and targets the guilty conscience rather than relying on the skill against every opponent. (Chapters 381–425 and 446)

Division gives him the contingency he needs against the company. Unbroken Connection allows separated mental-power portions to remain under remote control, while Soul Split divides and recombines the soul itself, with each fragment retaining thought and consciousness. Fragments can animate martial-soul avatars, carry divine power, and possess bodies, though creating them consumes divided power and an isolated fragment can be destroyed. Du Ge studies the dead Sun God's head, adds light to his water power, and helps produce a Dark God vessel before the battlefield is forcibly closed. His main soul returns, but a fragment remains behind and witnesses Pan-Universal Entertainment occupy contestants' bodies, confirming both the scale of the enemy and the value of being present beyond recall. (Chapters 412, 431–446)

Hiding a planetary resistance in plain sight

Knowledge from the stranded fragment changes Du Ge's next campaign. As Lin Hong, an obscure repair student on Bi Xing with 5,118,300 mental power, he receives low-key and romantic. Instead of immediately declaring himself, he builds the Battle Network identity Ten Steps to Kill One, improves mecha performance, and turns a masked pilot into a media phenomenon. Hidden Like Void prevents discovery of his whereabouts and talent while he does not actively expose himself; public revelation and widespread attention therefore weaken the very attributes it built. Du Ge accepts that cost because a hidden champion cannot unite Bi Xing against the Hill civilization or test the company's reaction to interstellar expansion. (Chapters 447–458, 477, and 500)

Covering One's Tracks prevents those defeated by him from revealing his identity. Du Ge exploits the broad meaning of defeat through trivial contests such as rock-paper-scissors, but he must still defeat each person before silence applies. Iron Man's Tenderness compels women to fight alongside him and doubles female comrades' attributes when they do, tying their survival to the same battlefield. Spring Heart Awakens creates subconscious attraction and a desire for association among women connected to him. Its reach is enormous and often disruptive, yet it is not absolute: effects can be purified, resisted by exceptional means, or avoided through a change of sex. (Chapters 458–478)

Du Ge uses these skills to connect the Federation, the Homeland Defense Bureau, mecha fighters, and former enemies without letting any one institution monopolize him. At Dewei Base, interacting keyword skills turn the gathering into a chaotic lethal contest; his Sun God movement, allies, and rapidly changing tactics keep a core group alive. He then insists on carrying the war to the Hill civilization rather than accepting a neat planetary ending. Bai Long confronts him after the battlefield finally closes, but Du Ge explains away anomalies while probing what the company knows. The episode proves that mass organization can push a battlefield beyond its intended boundary, though it also shows that his immediate overseers remain strong enough to recall and threaten him. (Chapters 485–509)

Writing the Human Emperor into reality

Faith now lets Du Ge perceive nearly all of Qi Yuan Star, and his mental power approaches nine million, but he sees that ordinary cultivation still leaves a ceiling. On the next battlefield he possesses the child Iron Head with brutality and persuasion. Corrupt Without Rest lets malicious guidance plant evil thoughts, while Blood Hand, Buddha Heart awards merit for punishing evil and imposes karma for harming innocents. The paired rules make indiscriminate slaughter self-defeating. Du Ge spreads rebellion through secret identities, steals methods, and combines his water-divine body with Golden Elixir cultivation until he can turn into water, survive on land or sea, and recover from attacks that would kill an ordinary cultivator. (Chapters 510–522 and 533–537)

He then creates the Human Emperor inheritance instead of merely joining the established celestial order. Poems, schools, propaganda, Literary Heart, and Martial Courage give ordinary humans a shared path, while Luo Shuang and other allies turn the teaching into government. Heavenly Mandate makes a statement increasingly likely to become real as more people believe and spread it. The skill cannot produce effortless reality from a private wish: it needs collective acceptance, repetition, and a proposition that can gather momentum. Combined with Power of Faith and trend, however, it lets Du Ge declare keywords to be forms of world law and make cultural institutions feed cultivation back into him. (Chapters 547–559)

Human fortune from five continents joins his light, darkness, and water powers as four forms of Dao resonance. As more people awaken Literary Heart and Martial Courage, their growth strengthens the Human Emperor, making the human race both his constituency and the anchor of his survival. Du Ge allies with demons and the underworld, absorbs techniques, and raises his mental power into the billions before storming the celestial court. His side wins through power transfers, propaganda, and the appearance of an inevitable new order as much as direct combat. After unifying the three realms, he refuses to awaken a second brutality skill, denying Pan-Universal Entertainment another weapon, and returns with more than thirty billion mental power. (Chapters 559–595)

Making chaos serve freedom

Back on Qi Yuan Star, Du Ge uses Heavenly Mandate, faith, and divine power to restore the planet's environment and begin a spiritual revival. His next host is Kou Nan, a mutant of the emperor stars, and his keywords are freedom and chaos. Freedom produces no derived skill because Du Ge remains subject to recall and possession. Chaos instead awakens Source of Chaos: a world he disrupts cannot easily return to order, his attributes keep rising during the disorder, and attempts to repair it receive twice the effort for half the result. The skill gives him extraordinary recovery during catastrophe, but its growth depends on instability he must eventually overcome if he wants a livable victory. (Chapters 597–604 and 622)

Du Ge uses the Seed of Humanity as both bait and a path to durable embodiment. Its mutagenic mist nearly destroys him cell by cell, outpacing even chaos-enhanced healing, before remaking him with perfect cellular control, system-wide perception, all known mutant powers, and fused divine forces. The danger is self-inflicted and not repeatable as a casual enhancement. His second chaos skill, Source of War, makes attribute growth proportional to the scale of a war he provokes; by maneuvering the Zorn and Celestial God Clans into conflict, he doubles his attributes before their fleets fully engage. He calls himself Supreme God and turns the Book of the Supreme God's Proverbs into a shared statement of what believers expect him to be. (Chapters 608–610, 615–616, and 631–644)

The final struggle combines every lesson he has learned. Trend, Power of Faith, and Heavenly Mandate make the Proverbs' declarations effective across star systems; Pan-Universal Entertainment's attempted possession increases his mental reserve instead of taking him; and Soul Split distributes an avatar through hundreds, then thousands, of bodies that awaken new keyword skills. After reclaiming the avatar, Du Ge holds 2,353 skills, universe-spanning consciousness, cellular self-replication, and direct command of local rules. The Heart of Cangjie reveals that it brought him from Earth and engineered his anomalous access to skills, then steals his perfected body. Du Ge suppresses Pan-Universal Entertainment, gathers its mental power, crosses back through the First Saint's passage, repossesses his body, absorbs the artifact, and loses the personal interface. Free at last, he chooses to investigate the hidden truth of Earth rather than rule passively. (Chapters 644–655)

Keywords, skills, and cultivation

Keyword interpretation and carryover

Keywords raise the attributes of Du Ge's current host when his behavior advances their meaning and can awaken two derived skills. Their strength depends on scale, recognition, and continued action rather than on a fixed numerical level. Du Ge's signature talent is semantic expansion: he finds a socially credible meaning that can be repeated by an organization, then builds public conduct around it. The approach has a hard reverse edge. If the achievements or reputation supporting a keyword are destroyed, the resulting attributes can fall, and a new simulation normally disables the previous scenario's active skills. (Chapters 21–29, 40, 90, and 500)

Du Ge is exceptional because some powers persist. Skills from his first simulation return with his soul, Power of Faith continues to function on Qi Yuan Star, divine forces embed in his mental power, and Soul Split lets a conscious portion remain in a world after recall. The Heart of Cangjie later explains that an Earth-born soul can accommodate multiple keywords and that it covertly preserved Du Ge's anomalies. Even so, carryover is not automatic: Protection of the People fails to return with him, borrowed cultivation from Together Through Thick and Thin dissipates, and artifacts or host-bound bodies can be left behind. (Chapters 78, 261, 293, 374–377, 435–446, 510, and 655)

Maintenance, betrayal, trade, and kindness

Maintenance rewards sincere protection of a declared person, family, institution, or order. Sacrifice for Righteousness reduces a protected target's guard toward Du Ge by thirty percent, allowing care to create an opening. Betrayal grows through attacks on trust. Eyes at the Back of the Head gives him rearward awareness and prevents a person he has backstabbed from backstabbing others, which he uses both for defense and sudden kills. The pair works because Du Ge can protect a larger cause while betraying an individual inside it, but maintenance weakens if the protected achievement loses public substance. (Chapters 2–6, 15, 40, and 60)

Trade and kindness turn exchange into compulsion without eliminating the requirement of a bargain. Transparent Pricing lets Du Ge define prices for goods and services under his operation, including loyalty as consideration. Everything Is Tradable permits physical objects, attributes, mental power, keywords, and other abstractions to be exchanged when both sides can be framed as profiting. Du Ge uses layered contracts and proxy buyers to widen the system, but its spectacular in-field gains are partly temporary and subject to settlement. The ability is strongest inside a market he controls, not as an unrestricted power to seize anything for nothing. (Chapters 91–105 and 119–123)

Joy, troubled waters, and the Sea God

Joy spreads through Du Ge's smiling performance and makes aggression against him psychologically difficult, supporting recruitment and delay more than direct destruction. Fishing in Troubled Waters becomes a property rule: amid chaos, physical contact lets him claim a target and regulate use of what belongs to it. He can stack claims across equipment and people, but the chaos condition, contact requirement, and a freedom user's ability to liberate property prevent universal control. The mechanic also foreshadows his later habit of inscribing a fish mark on beings he wants to treat as his own. (Chapters 127–130, 168, 182, and 655)

The trident grants underwater survival and control but initially consumes mortal vitality. Janice's restoration converts the inheritance into integrated Sea God power, linking Du Ge to water, tides, healing, and later a water-divine body that can dissolve into liquid. Light from the Sun God and darkness from the nascent Dark God coexist with water because they are carried and refined through his soul and mental power. These forces grow with use and cultivation but do not erase hierarchy: stronger gods can overpower him, dry or hostile environments reduce water's convenience, and a weak host must still be transformed before channeling large reserves safely. (Chapters 183–184, 386–390, 431–446, and 520–534)

Plunder, friendship, loyalty, and trend

Plucking Feathers strips something from a touched target, while Acting in Heaven's Stead redistributes power according to relative strength. Their interaction makes close contact increasingly favorable, though neither removes the risks of range, resistance, or overwhelming initial force. Friendship offers the reverse model: No Fight, No Friendship converts defeated opponents into caring friends without destroying judgment, and Together Through Thick and Thin borrows friends' power at the cost of temporarily weakening them. Du Ge repeatedly prefers systems that create future allies over one-use theft, because a network expands keyword scale beyond his individual reach. (Chapters 192–204 and 280–293)

Loyalty spreads imitation downward through a hierarchy, making Du Ge's conduct reproducible among followers. Trend's A Single Move Affects the Whole Situation makes a movement difficult to reverse and doubles aligned results while halving opposition. Power of Faith converts conscious, attributed belief in Du Ge's movement into mental power across distance. The combination can turn propaganda into genuine strength, but it requires awareness and adoption; anonymous good deeds or movements credited to someone else do not feed him reliably. Heavenly Mandate later adds reality alteration, making widely believed declarations progressively more likely to come true rather than granting instantaneous omnipotence. (Chapters 310–320, 374–377, 510–511, and 549–559)

Integrity, division, concealment, and romance

Iron-Faced Impartial compels self-defined wrongdoing to be confessed. Its moral reference lies in the target, so sincere lack of guilt is a direct counter. Protection of the People scales resistance to mental control with the recognized population Du Ge protects, making political legitimacy part of defense. Division is more durable: Unbroken Connection controls separated mental power at range, and Soul Split creates autonomous conscious fragments that can carry skills, divine power, and possession capability before recombining. The cost is literal division of Du Ge's reserve, and a fragment outside support remains vulnerable to destruction or isolation. (Chapters 381–425 and 435–446)

Hidden Like Void conceals Du Ge's location and talent so long as he does not actively expose them; mass fame therefore sacrifices its benefit. Covering One's Tracks prevents defeated people from revealing him and can be triggered through harmless contests, but must be applied target by target. Iron Man's Tenderness compels female battlefield partnership, doubles female comrades' attributes, and binds their life and death to the fight. Spring Heart Awakens creates broad attraction among associated women, a powerful recruitment and disruption effect that can also create unwanted entanglements. Purification, exceptional resistance, or changing sex can defeat that romantic influence. (Chapters 458–478 and 500)

Human Emperor, chaos, and final state

Blood Hand, Buddha Heart links brutality to moral accounting: punishing evil gains merit, while harming innocents deducts it and adds karma. Corrupt Without Rest implants evil tendencies through malicious persuasion. Heavenly Mandate is Du Ge's greater signature ability, scaling the likelihood that his claims become real with the number of people who believe and spread them. He uses it with literature, institutions, faith, and trend to create Literary Heart, Martial Courage, keyword Dao resonances, remote response to prayer, and Human Emperor authority. Its dependence on collective belief explains why he continually builds schools, churches, histories, and public narratives rather than merely issuing private commands. (Chapters 514–522, 547–559, and 631–644)

Source of Chaos makes disrupted worlds resist restoration and continuously strengthens Du Ge while disorder persists; Source of War scales that growth with the war he provokes. Both reward devastation, yet neither solves what follows, and freedom grants him no skill while he remains controlled. The Seed of Humanity supplies perfect cellular transformation, replication, extreme senses, mutant abilities, and fused divine powers, nearly killing him during the rewrite. At his latest state, Du Ge has reclaimed an avatar carrying three trillion mental power and more than two thousand abilities, for a total of 2,353 skills. He can regenerate individuals from single cells, perceive an entire universe without faith, reproduce observed techniques, collapse space, recreate bodies, and manipulate local rules. Absorbing the Heart of Cangjie removes the interface and adds its star maps, while the artifact itself has no independent offensive power without a body. (Chapters 601, 604, 609–610, 616, and 649–655)

Equipment and notable items

• The Dragon Sword is indestructible and grants a dragon's strength and courage. Du Ge obtains it through Selma's trade and uses it as both weapon and symbol during his rise at sea. (Chapters 166–168)
• The Stone of Glory protects its bearer from negative effects, allowing Du Ge to ignore otherwise disabling environmental and magical interference. (Chapters 168 and 181)
• The Feather of the Sea God triples a ship's speed. It improves pursuit and escape but does not make Du Ge's vessel faster than every supernatural swimmer. (Chapters 168 and 181–182)
• The Destiny Sea Chart, Golden Compass, and Trident form a chain of discovery rather than interchangeable weapons. The chart locates the compass, the compass points into the deep ocean, and the trident grants Sea God authority only after Du Ge survives its life-draining claim and Janice restores its power. (Chapters 173 and 177–184)
• The King-Beating Whip begins as a royal disciplinary emblem supporting Luo Shuang's restoration. As the Admonition Cane, it becomes an indestructible derived item that fixes a struck target's attention on Du Ge and arouses desire, isolating powerful enemies while leaving surrounding threats able to act. (Chapters 313 and 367–369)
• The Justice Sword intimidates the guilty and leaves wounds on guilty targets that cannot heal. Like Iron-Faced Impartial, it depends on guilt rather than Du Ge's unilateral judgment; it helps him overcome the Sun God. (Chapters 431–434)
• The Seed of Humanity is a sentient mutagenic relic whose limited releases randomly awaken powers in roughly one person in ten. Du Ge forces its full mist into himself, surviving a near-fatal transformation that gives him complete cellular control and the mutant powers it can express. (Chapters 605 and 608–610)
• The Book of the Supreme God's Proverbs records Du Ge's deeds and the believers' claims about his nature. Its force comes from being shared, recited, and reinforced by Trend, Power of Faith, and Heavenly Mandate; it functions as a doctrinal amplifier rather than a self-acting weapon. (Chapters 631–644)
• The Heart of Cangjie is the conscious rule artifact behind keywords and Du Ge's crossing from Earth. After it steals his perfected body, Du Ge repossesses that body and absorbs the bodiless artifact, gaining its stored star maps and ending the last personal-interface shackle. (Chapter 655)

Power progression

Relationships

Gao Ming

Gao Ming is Du Ge's school friend, recurring comrade, and occasional competitor. He recognizes Du Ge beneath possessed identities, supports Infinite Charity Company, and repeatedly chooses the dangerous plan of fighting Pan-Universal Entertainment over secure retirement. Du Ge trusts Gao Ming with power-transfer roles that can decide entire battles, while Gao Ming's willingness to follow does not prevent him from arguing about risk. Their friendship is one of the few relationships that predates Du Ge's ascent and survives it without depending solely on a keyword. (Chapters 79–87, 91–120, 498–511, and 583–595)

Feng Zhong and Wang San

Feng Zhong and Wang San begin as threats within the first simulation, then become Du Ge's foundational support pair. Feng Zhong contributes rumor, deception, and timely disruption; Wang San supplies an unnerving but steadfast offensive presence. Du Ge spares and develops them because their abilities complement his own, while they learn that his reckless plans consistently include a route for his people to survive. Later battlefields scatter them across different bodies and factions, but recognition codes, habits, and shared purpose repeatedly restore the alliance. (Chapters 17–43, 55–78, 84–87, 443–446, 485–511, and 583–595)

Luo Shuang

Luo Shuang is Du Ge's disciple, sovereign, and the human partner most closely tied to his transition from opportunistic organizer to founder of political orders. He initially chooses her because loyalty needs a cause and her dispossession can generate a powerful trend. He teaches her, restores her throne, and later uses her government to spread Human Emperor institutions. Luo Shuang understands that his identities and methods exceed the world around her, but her trust persists beyond the keyword scenario. After the company's collapse, Du Ge gathers her soul into the Simulation Field and intends to recreate a body for her when possible. (Chapters 299–320, 337–378, 547–570, and 655)

Janice

Janice first opposes Du Ge as a sea-power holder whose freedom can break his private-property control. She later restores the Sea God's inheritance within him, becoming the indispensable link between a claimed artifact and usable divine power. When they reunite in the final battlefield, their dual cultivation helps the Seed of Humanity's transformation and shares portions of Du Ge's divine powers with her. Janice's Heavenly Match targets the two of them, although Du Ge believes his mental resistance prevents direct compulsion. Their relationship combines attraction, mutual empowerment, argument, and strategic partnership rather than simple obedience. (Chapters 182–184 and 602–616)

Nan Youlong and Bai Long

Nan Youlong is Du Ge's Qi Yuan handler and institutional advocate. He values the resources Du Ge wins and tries to manage the political danger around him, but gradually recognizes that conventional training and orders cannot contain Du Ge's methods. Bai Long represents the opposite side of the system: a Pan-Universal supervisor who rewards, intimidates, and recalls contestants as corporate property. Du Ge outwardly cooperates with both while learning what each institution fears. His exchanges with Bai Long become increasingly probing and defiant once the stranded soul fragment reveals what happens to battlefield bodies. (Chapters 79–90, 261–265, 379–380, 446, and 509–512)

Ross and Pan-Universal Entertainment

Ross and Pan-Universal Entertainment are Du Ge's central systemic antagonists. The company treats mental power, worlds, and contestants as resources, adjusts battlefields for spectacle, and intends to occupy valuable hosts after recall. Du Ge initially depends on its rewards for Qi Yuan Star, then exploits its desire to preserve its star performer: attempted suppression, rescue, and possession repeatedly give him information or power. His final distributed avatar turns the company's own keyword mechanism against it. After suppressing its elites, he takes their mental power and preserves the remaining souls rather than continuing the same cycle of disposable possession. (Chapters 444–447, 498–512, 609–610, and 647–655)
