Not long after the defense of the Imperial Capital.
The Homeland Defense Bureau released a series of agent promotional videos.
Du Ge arranged for Xiang Jiaojiao, Xin Tianyang, Zhang Xueqi, and others to have custom weapons and uniforms made, and filmed personal VCRs for them, which were played repeatedly on the Battle Network.
Du Ge also crafted specific slogans for them, like "Destruction and Rebirth," "Speak with Strength, Light the World with Courage," "Strength Comes from the Heart, Heroes Are Among Us," and so on, to help them build influence.
How can a drop of water go unnoticed? By throwing it into a pond, of course.
As the end of the month approached, when the top ten rankings were to be announced, Du Ge pushed all the Homeland Defense Bureau's Alien Star warriors into the spotlight to prevent his first-place identity from being exposed and causing trouble.
When the world is full of superheroes, no one cares about a revealed Lin Hong.
His romantic attributes were hardly brushed, and once his low-profile attribute was destroyed, he would be finished. He didn't dare to gamble on whether others would guess his keywords.
Du Ge indeed hoped to explore the universe, but only under the premise of ensuring his own safety.
Gao Ming, knowing Du Ge's keywords, coordinated in time, using Du Ge's system to announce the identities of the Doomsday Cult's leader, deputy leader, left and right envoys, and twelve elders on the Battle Network.
But the data he provided was a mix of truth and falsehood, at least from the surface data, the Doomsday Cult's combat power seemed stronger than the Homeland Defense Bureau.
It was like an army of thirty thousand claiming to be eight hundred thousand.
Following Du Ge, he hadn't learned much else, but he was adept at using a tiger's skin as a banner...
Du Ge's Homeland Defense Bureau was too far from the Doomsday Cult. If someone really wanted to attack his Doomsday Cult, what would he use to block them?
Bluff one, if you can!
When the Homeland Defense Bureau publicly revealed the Alien Star warriors, it caused a sensation among the public, but not much of a stir among the Alien Star warriors themselves.
After all, the battle in the Imperial Capital had almost exposed the keywords of the Homeland Defense Bureau's Alien Star warriors.
When the Doomsday Cult's Alien Star warriors revealed their abilities, it immediately caused a huge uproar among the Alien Star warriors.
Are you kidding? If the keywords and attributes were really that powerful, the Doomsday Cult would have swept the world long ago. Why would they need to pretend with the Homeland Defense Bureau?
Releasing something so obviously fake, isn't it embarrassing?
Thus.
The Benevolence Association also launched its own list of super-powered warriors. Although the attributes of each Alien Star warrior weren't as exaggerated as the Doomsday Cult's, their apparent strength was already on par with the Homeland Defense Bureau.
Following that, the Sixteenth Army Group, the Third Army Group, the Assembly Line Organization...

If others could fake it, so could they.
Who knows when the delicate balance between various forces would be broken, bluff one if you can.
For a time, it was a chaotic dance of demons, with the Battle Network full of superhero VCRs.
As various forces scrambled to introduce their superheroes, the one-month deadline quietly arrived.
The top ten list was announced:
First Place: Lin Hong; Homeland Defense Bureau;
Second Place: Tong Niya; Doomsday Cult;
Third Place: Xiang Jiaojiao; Homeland Defense Bureau;
Fourth Place: Yin Feng; Sixteenth Army Group;
Fifth Place: Lu Tingjie; Third Army Group;
Sixth Place: Zhang Yueru; Eighth Army Group;
Seventh Place: Huang Li; Benevolence Association;
Eighth Place: Fan Lie; Homeland Defense Bureau;
Ninth Place: Xu Wan; Homeland Defense Bureau;
Tenth Place: Xin Tianyang; Homeland Defense Bureau;
The Homeland Defense Bureau dominated five of the top ten spots.
The Alien Star warriors were in an uproar, growing increasingly wary of the Homeland Defense Bureau.
Many naturally associated Lin Hong with the identity of the Masked Hero, though some wondered why the Homeland Defense Bureau's promotional material didn't feature the Masked Hero, but few linked Lin Hong's keywords to being low-profile.
After all, what Lin Hong did was anything but low-profile, and Du Ge's extremely high speed misled them greatly, so no one would think of weakening his mental power by exposing Lin Hong.
As long as the Alien Star warriors weren't exposed, Du Ge remained that low-key, mysterious figure, and even during this time, the name "Ten Steps to Kill One" wasn't as prominent.
Of course.
To prevent any Alien Star warriors from making an issue of the top ten rankings, Du Ge decisively issued an invitation to all Alien Star warriors on Bi Xing, inviting them to ascend to the Space Frontline in five days to contribute to the expulsion of the Hill people.
After this invitation was sent out, the Alien Star warriors' attention was once again diverted, and all the Alien Star warriors were considering how to continue developing their keywords after entering the Space Frontline. No one dared to stay on Bi Xing and not go to the Space Frontline.
A clever little combo, and no one paid attention to the Alien Star warriors' rankings anymore. Du Ge successfully hid himself, keeping his influence confined to the small circle of Alien Star warriors.
A small circle of over five hundred people had little impact on his keywords.
And secretly, Du Ge, who had influenced the entire Bi Xing situation, had his position increasingly solidified.
...
Third Army Group.
Lu Tingjie looked grim: "Old Ke, I now suspect that this Lin Hong is the real Du Ge. Only Du Ge has the ability to guide the situation step by step. Compared to him, Tong Niya of the Doomsday Cult is far inferior. By pulling everyone into space, he cuts off all the Alien Star warriors' growth paths."
"Old Lu, he is definitely not Du Ge." Ke Ye shook his head, "Du Ge is a madman who will stop at nothing for victory. If he had the means to go to space, he would have turned the guns around and destroyed Bi Xing long ago. Why would he bring all the remaining Alien Star warriors up, unnecessarily increasing his own risk?
Even if the Homeland Defense Bureau is strong, it can't face nearly three hundred Alien Star warriors. This approach is simply forcing the remaining Alien Star warriors to join forces..."
"Why would he do this?" Lu Tingjie asked, frustrated, pulling at his hair, "His actions don't seem like those of an Alien Star warrior?"
"Honestly, I'm confused by him too." Ke Ye shook his head again, "Old Lu, let's contact the Alien Star warriors from other planets and come up with a strategy! No matter what, keeping such a guy around is ultimately a hidden danger..."
"Contact the Doomsday Cult?" Lu Tingjie asked.
"Why contact them? What if they're really in cahoots?" Ke Ye frowned.
...
Yin Feng of the Sixteenth Army Group was analyzing with his companions the pros and cons of entering the Space Frontline for Nine Dragon Star.
Suddenly.
His personal interface flickered.
When he opened it.
A message popped up:
Failing to secure a top-three spot will result in the extermination of all Alien Star warriors from Nine Dragon Star.
Seeing this message, Yin Feng's face changed immediately.
At the same time.
Yan Wenya and Zou Bing also opened their personal interfaces, glanced at the popped-up message, and both stood frozen on the spot.
"This is too much, not only have they disrupted our planet, but they also want to wipe us out," Zou Bing said, furious, "It's our first time on the Alien Star Battlefield, we have no experience, how can we possibly compete with those veteran Alien Star warriors?"
"Those guys sent us to the Alien Star Battlefield just to watch us fight and seek revenge. We've been too peaceful during this period."
Yin Feng's heart was filled with bitterness. He once thought of earning enough mental power on the Alien Star Battlefield and then returning alive to rule Nine Dragon Star, but after seeing this message, his hopes turned to despair.
Indeed, no one can slack off in this game.
"What should we do?" Yan Wenya asked, "Once we go to the Space Frontline, no one will cooperate with us. If we start a fight, we're just sending ourselves to death."
"Staying on Bi Xing isn't an option either," Zou Bing said, "If the Homeland Defense Bureau loses and others gain control of the Space Frontline's weapons, they could turn them on us and destroy Bi Xing at any time."
"Hill Civilization," Yin Feng said, "The Homeland Defense Bureau and people from other planets can't coexist peacefully. Once we enter the Space Frontline, there will definitely be a round of infighting. We should seize the opportunity to contact the Hill Civilization. Yan Yan's keyword is betrayal; leading the entire army to defect might push his ranking up.
The Hill Civilization dared to invade Bi Xing, so they must have weapons more powerful than Bi Xing. If we can control the Hill Civilization's warships and weapons, we can destroy Bi Xing at the fastest speed and then escape into the universe. Without Bi Xing's support, the Alien Star warriors left on the Space Frontline won't survive long. At that point, we win."
"What if they don't fight?" Zou Bing asked.
"Zhu He’s keyword is agitation, which can influence others' emotions within a range, making them lose their rationality," Yin Feng said, "If we can get Zhu He into one of the factions, he should be able to stir up their conflict, right?"
"But doing that would mean certain death for Zhu He," Yan Wenya said, "What if he refuses?"
Yin Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's quickly contact other people from Nine Dragon Star and hope to find a few more useful keywords!"
Zou Bing said, "We might also try contacting people from the Bell Star Alliance. They, like us, should have received the message from Pan-Universal Entertainment, and we could cooperate."
...
While the Alien Star warriors were in chaos, each discussing their strategies.
Fan Lie found Du Ge, smiling as he said, "Brother Lin, this isn't what we agreed on! You promised me a top-three spot, and now everyone has entered the Space Frontline. The Alien Star Battlefield could end at any moment, and Fusion will have no room for growth!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Du Ge glanced at him, "Battle reports from the Space Frontline can be sent back to Bi Xing at any time. As long as you fuse with one or two Hill Civilization warships and lead the charge to defeat the Hill Civilization's vanguard, won't your influence surpass Tong Niya's?"
"Fuse with warships?" Fan Lie was stunned.
"Your reputation on Bi Xing is already high enough. Fighting Alien Star warriors won't earn you much experience, but becoming the chief battle hero in a battle between two civilizations will make your influence unrivaled, even surpassing Xiang Jiaojiao. Isn't ranking about the influence of keywords?"
"Brother Lin, don't deceive me," Fan Lie looked at Du Ge and said, "I have a feeling that once we step onto the Space Frontline, this Alien Star Battlefield will end soon. I've been following your arrangements for over twenty days."
"I won't deceive you," Du Ge smiled, "Continue helping those armies modify their genes and enhance their combat power. You might not have noticed, but you already have enough prestige in the military."
"Alright!" Fan Lie nodded and turned to leave.

"Brother Lin, what about me?" Ying Fei asked, aggrieved, "What about the bet you promised me? At this rate, the Hill Civilization won't be a match for Bi Xing, and there's no need for a gamble between the two civilizations.
My ranking isn't even as good as Xin Tianyang's. If Pan-Universal Entertainment still takes the top ten, I wouldn't come to you, but Xin Tianyang's rank is only tenth. We can't explain this when we go back!"
Headache!
Too many promises!
Du Ge sighed inwardly and looked at Ying Fei, "Do you trust me?"
"I trust you," Ying Fei nodded without hesitation.
"Tong Niya's keyword is despair. After defeating the Hill Civilization, the Doomsday Cult will vanish in an instant, and her ranking will definitely drop," Du Ge said, "If someone takes second place then, I'll help you kill them!"
Ying Fei smiled bitterly, "Your plan to determine rankings based on influence was indeed a lie."
"Plans can't keep up with changes," Du Ge shook his head, "If possible, I still want to extend the Alien Star Battlefield's duration, but those opponents are too weak."
"So, what's your keyword?" Ying Fei asked.
"Control," Du Ge glanced at her, "Unfortunately, I didn't control it well, leading to the Homeland Defense Bureau's dominance."
It's Qi Yuan Star's dominance!
Ying Fei looked at Du Ge with a hint of melancholy, suddenly unsure if she should continue trusting him!
At this moment.
Nalan Li walked over, interrupting their conversation, "Lin Hong, the President wants to talk to you."
...
Battle Network.
The President's virtual office.
"Lin Hong, do you really intend to enter the Space Frontline?" the President asked.
"Yes," Du Ge nodded.
"But we're not ready yet," the President looked at Du Ge, "Bi Xing needs more gene warriors."
"Defeat the Hill Civilization's vanguard, and Fan Lie can still come back to help you create gene warriors," Du Ge smiled.
"Will you really come back?" the President looked at Du Ge, "You're taking all the Alien Star warriors into space for the final showdown, aren't you? Once you determine the winner, this game will end!
Currently, all gene technology on Bi Xing comes from Fan Lie alone. Once you leave, and the Hill Civilization's army attacks, we still won't be able to cope. Lin Hong, you're a kind person. I ask you to give Bi Xing more time, at least let us grow stronger with your help..."
Du Ge looked at the President, silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Mr. President, have you ever considered fleeing?"
The President was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
"Literally," Du Ge said, "Abandon Bi Xing, and like the Hill people, wander the universe until you find a new home and settle down."
The President stood up abruptly, looking at Du Ge, trembling as he asked, "What are you planning?"
"I'm not planning anything," Du Ge looked at the President, "Mr. President, once we defeat the Hill Civilization's vanguard, theoretically, we'll have the ability for interstellar travel.
My personal idea is to lead some Alien Star warriors to intercept the Hill Civilization, but it's very likely we'll be recalled midway. At that time, Bi Xing will definitely not be a match for the Hill people. I believe you wouldn't want to share a home with the Hill people either.
At that time, destroying Bi Xing and, like the Hill people, wandering the universe would be a better choice. It could help preserve the seeds of civilization on Bi Xing. Wandering the universe is much better than everyone entering the Battle Network..."
Knowing that Pan-Universal Entertainment would harvest after the Alien Star Battlefield ended, Du Ge naturally didn't mind disgusting them a bit.
While taking the Alien Star warriors away, he would exile the people of Bi Xing, not believing that Pan-Universal Entertainment could still harvest Bi Xing.
This way, it would truly save Bi Xing, and he would have done a good deed!
The President was silent for a moment, "Why not give us time to grow? If we can create enough gene warriors, we might be able to defeat the Hill people."
Du Ge looked at the President, chuckled awkwardly, "Mainly because I've grown too fast. Once others see no hope, this game could end at any time. The audience outside doesn't want to see a game without suspense..."
