Chapter 58: The Moment of Civilizational Leap! From Mortal Flesh to Giants of Light!
Light.
Eternal light.
This beam of light not only dispelled the darkness, but also thoroughly pulled the dead planet of the Land of Light out of its frozen purgatory.
The dazzling radiance was like a miracle, restoring warmth and vitality to this scarred land.
However, change has only just begun.
This is not an end, but the beginning of a brand-new era.
The brilliant light radiating from the Plasma Spark Tower across the entire stellar surface at the same moment shone upon every ancestor of the Land of Light.
The sacred Difalaita Tower light completely enveloped them.
Each Land of Light ancestor's body was wrapped in the rich Difalaita Tower light.
Within this moment.
Evolution began.
Ah!
One after another, the Land of Light ancestors felt a profound transformation from deep within their souls the instant they were bathed in the light.
Their lives were being completely reshaped and remade at the molecular and genetic level.
No.
This cannot be called a transformation.
This is an ultimate leapfrog evolution that transcends the laws of physics!
It is a civilization's leapfrog evolution!
One by one, the ancestors who were no different from humans began to swell in height rapidly, growing to dozens of times their size in a short time, becoming towering giants.
Their appearances also underwent a complete transformation.
Their smooth skin turned into an exotic shell woven from red, silver, and blue, full of power and streamlined beauty.
On their chests, a timer capable of storing and receiving Plasma Spark energy slowly emerged, emitting a soft blue glow.
Within their bodies, a mighty, godlike power arose from nothing, filling every cell.
This power enabled them to move mountains and fill seas, roam the cosmos, and become godlike beings.
All of this took only an extremely short time.
Every surviving ancestor of the Land of Light, without exception, was irradiated by the Plasma Spark Tower's light and evolved into a brand-new ultimate lifeform.
Ultraman!
Thus,
The civilization of the Land of Light was completely reborn,
A powerful new civilization forged from Giants of Light rose proudly amidst the ruins.
And the starting point of it all was that Plasma Spark Tower bearing hope and courage.
Earth.
Clad in military uniform, Zhang Beihai stood on the deck of a massive warship, the sea wind fluttering his collar.
His heart was shaken by an unprecedented immense shock.
He was not shocked by the godlike mighty power Ultraman displayed after evolving into an ultimate lifeform.
What truly shocked him was the unwavering decision made by the Land of Light's ancestors after the sun's explosion and extinction.
Abandon not the homeland, build an artificial sun!
In such a dark, icy age, despair filled every corner of the planet.
How immense must the courage and conviction of the Land of Light's ancestors have been for them to dare stake their civilization's very survival on building that slim-hope Plasma Spark Tower?
Did they not even spare a second to consider what if the Plasma Spark Tower failed to be built?
Did they not waver even for a moment, thinking that if the research failed, their civilization would plunge into an abyss of eternal ruin?
Such immense courage, together with that unshakable conviction, deeply shook Zhang Beihai's soul.
Of course, he would not blindly turn into a fervent Earth supremacist just because he saw the determination and courage of the Ultraman ancestors.
He absolutely does not believe that humanity can, in just a few hundred years, defeat that fleet from four light-years away on the front lines.
Nor will he lightly alter his deep‑seated, long‑rooted beliefs merely because he saw the Land of Light's ancestors share fate with their homeland and refuse to wander.
What he learned from the story of the Land of Light's ancestors was something else.
It is the steadfastness of belief!
It is the resolve to, once a path is chosen, walk it to the bitter end until success, never turning back!
Even if bearing boundless darkness, even if no one understands, even if one is nailed to the pillar of shame.
At this moment.
In his ear, it seemed his father's words from his sickbed rang out again.
【Beihai, I can only tell you that before that, you must think more.】
Zhang Beihai gazed at the shimmering endless sea beyond the warship, and in his heart responded to his father with unprecedented resolve.
"Father, I understand."
"I will steadfastly hold to my thoughts, never surrender, never change."
Blowing the sea wind on the warship,
At this moment, his thoughts became unprecedentedly firm.
Super Beast World.
Fifth Parallel Universe, Underworld.
The Underworld King sat upon his massive throne, gazing at the silhouettes in the heavens of ordinary mortals evolving into Giants of Light.
The corner of his mouth curled into a cold arc.
This world, and indeed the entire universe, has always been this way.
It's just the survival of the fittest, the elimination of the weak.
His magnetic voice echoed in the hall.
The ancestors of the Land of Light struggled in the harsh environment, eventually adapting and changing the fact of the sun's extinction. Therefore, the laws of the universe rewarded them, allowing their people to attain ultimate evolution.
This is not a miracle, but inevitability.
In another distant multiverse.
There exists a nation extremely similar to the Land of Light, yet utterly different.
Here there is no warm glow of the warm plasma spark tower, only the cold, solemn light of order.
Although it looks extremely similar to the Land of Light, it lacks that peaceful, warm atmosphere, replaced instead by a faint sense of solemnity.
A tall giant stood silently, watching everything unfolding in the sky.
It is called Zuofi.
But it is completely different from the Land of Light's Zuofi.
On its chest, there is no Ultra Medal representing supreme honor, nor even the Color Timer, the signature of the Land of Light's Ultraman.
Here, is the Planet of Light.
Zuofi gazed at the sky, speaking calmly in a tone devoid of any emotion.
In another universe, there also exist beings like our Planet of Light.
Its analysis was cold and precise.
They merely evolved, yet not to obey the supreme system, nor to uphold the strict, inviolable laws.
But for that inexplicable, illogical 'protection'.
Zuofi's analysis paused for a moment.
In its eyes, devoid of emotional fluctuation, a hint of barely perceptible vigilance flashed.
This Land of Light, so similar to ours, is extremely dangerous.
……
(Finally added the Planet of Light; the past few days' updates were few because the author's family was holding a funeral, really busy, really sorry, will be able to start stockpiling manuscripts and update more from the day after tomorrow.)
(The Ultraman storyline will speed up its pace; starting tomorrow, the elbow strike singer civilization, not all-around beating them, their mothers don't even know them, sorry for making them jump their feet for so long!)
