NOVEL WEB Chapter 758: This is your world; if you don't protect it, who will?
Returning to the original time and space, Da Gu got back in the car, glanced at the time, and realized that only about half a minute had passed since they left, suggesting that perhaps the time flow of different time spaces varied.
That's good, it saves the trouble of explaining to the team members.
Sun Wukong opened the driver's door, sat inside, and said, "You've transformed two or three times; you must be tired. Let me drive."
"Then I'll trouble you, Wukong." Da Gu didn't hesitate and got into the passenger seat.
Buzz——
The engine started, Sun Wukong pressed the clutch, shifted gears, and the car slowly started moving forward on the ice-covered ground.
"The weather is getting hotter and colder." Da Gu saw it was snowing again outside the window, and his heart unconsciously grew more worried, "I need stronger power!"
The power of True Tiga is indeed strong, but it cannot break Sofia's blockade on Earth. Perhaps with the help of the light of hope from children worldwide, the barrier could be destroyed.
But such an opportunity is hard to come by.
It is a light of hope that comes from the purest hearts of children, which can only be given voluntarily, and if Tiga were to actively ask for it, it would become tainted.
One is children voluntarily giving hope to Tiga, and the other is Tiga actively demanding from them.
Da Gu does not wish for it to be the latter.
Even though he believes that if he asked the children as Tiga to fight alongside him, they would certainly provide the light of hope for him, Da Gu cannot bring himself to ask them to contribute their power.
Therefore, in such a situation, to enhance his own strength, he can only rely on self-training.
Gene lock is an excellent direction.
"Wukong, do you know how to unlock the second level of the gene lock?" Da Gu asked.
"The more you crave for power, the more power controls you. Do not seek power for the sake of power itself. Think carefully, what is the purpose of obtaining power?" Sun Wukong didn't answer directly but continued his earnest teaching.
"Sorry, I became anxious again." Da Gu closed his eyes, calmed his mind, letting his restless heart become tranquil, yet his face still held a hint of sorrow, "Just that the awakening of darkness is accelerating, and the mother ship from outside, Sofia, is about to arrive, I have no choice but to feel anxious, even though I understand that anxiety is pointless······"
"It's very normal; people always get anxious in the face of adversity. There are two kinds of people who are not anxious: those who have given up hope and are preparing to give up entirely; and those who remain calm and find a way to solve the problem." Sun Wukong thoughtfully regarded Da Gu and asked, "Which one do you think you are?"
"Somewhere in between, I think." Da Gu thought for a moment, saying, "However, I will lean toward the second type··· What do you say if I transform into Tiga directly and defeat the yet-to-awaken Gatanothor?"
"Good idea."
Sun Wukong gave a thumbs-up, "But have you considered, if you fail to kill it and just wake it up, the world would plunge into darkness earlier."
"Perhaps it's because of my presence that a trace of restlessness has naturally arisen in your heart."
"But I can tell you clearly, I won't show my true strength when the time comes——"
"This is your world. If you don't protect it, who will?"
Da Gu nodded vigorously.
Mr. Wukong is right; this is his world. He shouldn't let others protect it; he must defend it himself.
Sun Wukong nodded silently——in the Ultraman multiverse, humans are representative of mental strength, particularly in the Tiga worldview; as long as they have pure hearts and hope, they can unleash unimaginable power!
After a day of patrolling, Sun Wukong and Da Gu returned to the base to report the results to Kujima Megumi. Both tacitly concealed the matters regarding Charliega and the time-space tunnel.
Because these events are too bizarre, reporting them might bring Da Gu under scrutiny from the higher-ups.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Da Gu chose to bury this experience deep in his memory···
···
In the blink of an eye, half a month quickly passed.
In the training room, Sun Wukong, holding an iron rod, was sparring with his apprentice, Wu Ye.
Hmm——
Rather than sparring, it was more like testing Wu Ye's staff technique.
Sun Wukong held the rod with one hand, blocking left and right, making his defense airtight. No matter how tricky Wu Ye's staff techniques were, they couldn't break through his defense at all.
This strike came down from above, barely touching another stick, borrowing force downward, touching the ground, and bouncing it to disarm Wu Ye's staff.
Then Sun Wukong suddenly twirled the stick towards Wu Ye's neck, like a giant axe sweeping across, having a heaven-splitting momentum, leaving Wu Ye momentarily stunned, not knowing how to defend.
As for evasion?
His mind told him, don't even think about it, take the blow obediently, and maybe you'll have a quick end.
The stick's body stopped a centimeter from Wu Ye's neck, retrieved by Sun Wukong, resting at his foot, saying, "Not bad, you can now take three moves from me in terms of techniques."
"Master, you are truly incredible." Wu Ye flattered, mimicking Sun Wukong's earlier move, and asked, "That strike, it gave me a feeling of everything returning to chaos, absolutely indefensible, what kind of staff intent is that?"
"The so-called intent, whether spear intent, sword intent, is all illusory, essentially it's all about one's mind intent."
Part of a series hosted by My Virtual Library Empire (MV&LEMP&YR).
Sun Wukong explained, "No matter how many cultivation methods exist across the heavens and worlds, they basically boil down to three words: essence, energy, and spirit. More fundamentally, it's about the conversion and storage between matter and energy."
"And there is a force that can influence matter and energy."
"That is the mind."
"All cultivation methods originate from the heart, conceived in imagination, and fulfilled in practice."
Wu Ye was a bit confused: "It sounds like those strange cultivation methods are quite scientific."
Sun Wukong laughed, "They are scientific, governed by laws, aren't they?"
Wu Ye felt his concepts had progressed.
Governed by laws——
This statement encapsulates the essence of various cultivation methods.
No matter what kind of cultivation system it is, be it battle energy, vitality, spiritual power, inner strength, magic power, qi-blood, etc., they are all developed according to their respective environmental characteristics.
Each cultivation system is also created by people from different worlds exploring their respective living environments.
"Master, although what you said makes sense, it sounds a bit strange coming from you."
"Just keeping up with the times."
Sun Wukong chuckled, "Immortals and gods are more open than you think... Of course, I refer to virtuous True Immortals, True Buddhas, etc.; those who scheme against beings for fate are just demons."
"Master, don't virtuous True Immortals need fate?" Wu Ye, having read several novels about ancient realms, was a bit puzzled.
"Regarding fate, you probably think that as long as you can suppress with a supreme treasure, then possessing fate allows one to break through and evolve as easily as eating and drinking, am I right?" Sun Wukong discerned his little thoughts and bluntly revealed them.
"Isn't that so?"
