Chapter 25: Everyone Becomes Light Giants

Zhengmu Jingwu displayed extraordinary talent from childhood, whether in IQ or physical fitness; in any case he often surpassed his peers with an overwhelming advantage.

Even those hailed as geniuses, upon meeting Zhengmu Jingwu, could only sigh that they were inferior.

He had won many awards since childhood, and upon reaching adulthood he further founded his own company.

So he could conduct scientific research and carry out projects.

Many powerful forces extended olive branches to Zhengmu Jingwu, hoping to invite him to join.

But to Zhengmu Jingwu, this held no attraction.

Abundant resources are certainly nice, but in Zhengmu Jingwu's view, the research staff there are merely ordinary people, nothing special.

Working with them on research would only disgust himself.

Better to start his own company, be self-sufficient; even when faced with astronomically priced scientific equipment, Zhengmu Jingwu could acquire it, and if he couldn't buy it, he could rely on his extraordinarily high IQ to understand and create it himself.

Zhengmu Jingwu differs from Tongyemufu; although both were outliers among ordinary people from childhood, Zhengmu Jingwu deeply cares for humanity, and in his eyes, overly stupid people need looking after.

He simply does not like to show it.

More often, he merely helps silently behind the scenes.

For example, funding orphanages; in fact, globally, Zhengmu Jingwu spends large sums of money each year to support them.

But, compared to fame, Zhengmu Jingwu believes it is unnecessary.

After all, he is already quite famous.

Therefore, when he chooses to donate, he often hides his name.

Originally he should have been a lofty, successful individual.

Having perfectly inherited the ultra-ancient light genetic factor, he possesses what ordinary people cannot.

His body and mind are both of the highest contemporary standard.

The blessing of the ultra-ancient light genetic factor further enables the inheritor to focus development on a particular aspect.

Just as Dagu perfectly inherited the ultra-ancient light genetic factor, possessing beast-like physical fitness and IQ surpassing ordinary people; however, compared to the elite of the TPC Victory Team, his IQ is somewhat awkward.

Whereas Zhengmu Jingwu's physical prowess can utterly crush anyone in the Victory Team except Dagu.

Even more outstanding is his mind.

Dagu focuses on the body.

Zhengmu Jingwu focuses on the brain.

Otherwise, he would also be unable to manually craft the ultra-ancient light genetic factor converter.

Leaving all the TPC elites staring blankly.

They outright call him a genius.

All of this was originally fine.

Until one day.

Zhengmu Jingwu began to dream.

He often dreams of memory fragments flowing in his blood.

He sees scenes of numerous giants from the ultra-ancient era fighting desperately, civilization being destroyed.

Countless people wail.

The sky is shrouded in darkness, countless monsters occupy the world.

At first, he only thought it was a dream.

Nothing special.

But as time passes, the later it gets, the more off it feels.

The dreams become increasingly real.

The horror level rises linearly.

Until the appearance of the Dark Overlord Gatanjea.

Zhengmu Jingwu does not know who that is, nor can he see the full picture.

He only knows.

The apocalypse has descended.

No matter how glorious human civilization may be, it ultimately perishes beneath the darkness.

In the days thereafter.

He often dreams of this scene.

This makes Zhengmu Jingwu alert.

He knows this must be some kind of warning.

He can no longer go on living aimlessly.

Even though his current achievements surpass those of ninety-nine percent of people in the world today.

But faced with that dark apocalypse, what are these achievements worth?

They are merely mediocre.

But what can he do?

He can do nothing.

He is merely a tiny human being.

Yet, facing the possibility that his homeland might be destroyed by that nightmare apocalypse, merely thinking about it leaves him unable to remain unmoved.

Zhengmu Jingwu begins to gather data extensively.

Seeking a means of response.

One day, one month, one year… no matter how much time is spent, Zhengmu Jingwu must find that salvation method.

It seems that Zhengmu Jingwu's efforts moved the heavens.

By accident, he discovered a giant stone statue underground in Bear Origin City.

Besides it, there was also a monster stone statue next to it.

When he saw the giant stone statue, he knew the opportunity had arrived.

The method to save humanity was finally found by him.

The giant from his dreams truly appeared in reality.

Likewise, this also means that the apocalypse he dreamed of will eventually descend upon the human world.

He could no longer hesitate.

It was time to carry out justice.

Zhengmu Jingwu began to excavate the power of the giant stone statue.

It still took a great deal of time.

Zhengmu Jingwu became increasingly certain that this was the method of salvation.

The giant must be humanity's final chapter.

During the days of exploration.

Zhengmu Jingwu's dreams also began to have new changes.

He was no longer seeing mere darkness.

He also saw the descent of entirely new powerful beings.

There were huge angels radiating azure light descending from heaven, arriving in the mortal realm, able to annihilate giants with a raise of hand.

There was a figure shrouded in shocking resentment, bringing a heaven‑and‑earth‑destroying disaster; its unparalleled means were like a king of the undead, against which no one could resist.

There was also a monster like a ghostly specter emitting a terrifying ghostly laugh, its form impossible to catch, as if it were not a product of any dimension.

Furthermore, the demon in the opening apocalypse scene, its body shrouded in continually spreading black mist, its massive form standing upon the entire sea surface, each tentacle like a huge mutant black python, terrifying, emitting sounds like a whale's call and an elephant's cry, making one's hair stand on end.

Yet behind these dreams, Zhengmu Jingwu could always see a god‑like, devil‑like figure looking down.

It seemed that this very presence was the true mastermind behind the scenes.

Each time he dreamed, he tried to see it clearly, but could not look directly at it.

Vaguely, he could only see a giant figure shrouded in darkness as deep as an abyss……

He had his back to all beings, as if facing a bronze gate.

The bronze gate was covered in shackles; was that dark presence trying to open the gate and release the terrifying monsters inside?

Zhengmu Jingwu felt chilled to the bone.

Humanity cannot contend with darkness.

Especially such terrifying darkness.

But what if all of humanity became light giants?

A single light giant might not be enough, but facing hundreds or thousands, there would surely be hope of victory.

Zhengmu Jingwu fell silent.

Darkness must be shattered.

Global giant transformation is necessary.

But he could not find the method of evolution.

Just when he was at a loss.

Dijia Aoteman appeared.

Moreover, several giants appeared afterward.

All of them were seen by Zhengmu Jingwu.

It seems someone had taken a step ahead.

They successfully obtained evolution.

Zhengmu Jingwu felt somewhat happy.

But he also felt somewhat unhappy.

Why could someone evolve into a light giant before him?

Could it be that Zhengmu Jingwu is not qualified to be humanity's savior?

Holding doubts.

Zhengmu Jingwu began an investigation.

He wanted to find out exactly who those few light giants were.
