Protagonist Effects

Takanashi Rikka: I really never expected True Monarch to be able to come directly to our worlds based on our locations. An Immortal's strength is far too terrifying.

Shinobu Kocho: Good thing it was True Monarch and not someone with ulterior motives. Otherwise, our worlds would definitely have suffered.

Iron Man: This suddenly reminds me of when Bruce first joined the group chat. If True Monarch had really been a bastard, Bruce's world would probably have been the only one spared.

Batman: ...Not necessarily. I said a thing or two afterward as well. I was careless.

Passerby Kamen Rider: True—beating people up through the internet cable.JPG

Mumen Rider: ╭(°A°`)╮

Daigo: @True Lord of Future Expectations, if that's the case, then come on over.

True Lord of Future Expectations: Alright, I'm coming. Get ready.

In the Primordial World, Lu Changsheng borrowed the Dao Fruit of his true body to raise himself to the realm of Grand Luo Golden Immortal. A supreme force traversed the universe in search of Daigo's world.

Although his Saint's Body was in seclusion, comprehending cultivation techniques, borrowing its power as a Grand Luo Golden Immortal was nothing to it. Even while his main body was in seclusion, it was no problem to borrow some strength—like drawing a few drops from a vast ocean, it was utterly insignificant.

After locating Daigo's universe, Lu Changsheng tore through space and entered the chaos filled with spatial turbulence.

Crossing endless star rivers and passing through the world barrier, Lu Changsheng easily arrived in Daigo's world.

Daigo was standing on a shore not far from the Terrestrial Peaceable Consortium, breathing in the fishy sea breeze as he leaned against an iron railing and waited for Lu Changsheng.

"Daigo." A voice sounded beside Daigo's ear. He turned to look and found that Lu Changsheng had appeared at his side at some unknown moment.

The passersby around them remained perfectly natural, as though they had not seen this person who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"True Monarch." Lu Changsheng had livestreamed his visits to Marvel and the One-Punch Man World before, so Daigo had firmly remembered his appearance. After all, he was the number one person in the group.

"What is it? Why are you staring at me without blinking?" Lu Changsheng smiled calmly.

Daigo scratched his head and blinked. "True Monarch, I didn't notice it in the Live Broadcast Room before, but now that you're really standing in front of me... You clearly look like an ordinary person, yet you're so different. I keep feeling like you're a little brighter than normal people, as if you're glowing with golden light."

"Golden light?" Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback, but he quickly understood. It was probably an effect naturally carried by this Merit Body. Although he had deliberately concealed it, it still gave others the illusion that he was shining with golden light.

To put it simply, Protagonist Aura [manual smirk]

He flicked his sleeve. "Don't worry about that. Come on, I'll take you to cultivate immortality. This time, I'm here in person, so I can point out anything you're doing wrong."

"Alright, True Monarch." Daigo nodded.

Lu Changsheng waved a hand, and a gust of wind swept the two of them up. Their feet left the ground, and in the next instant, they vanished from the spot.

When they appeared again, they had already arrived on a vast, boundless grassland.

The gentle breeze brushed past like a delicate hand. The tender green grass was as neat as the green hats on a simp's head, row after row bent low like stalks of rice.

Lu Changsheng's long hair fluttered, and his white robes swayed in the wind.

"The environment here is quiet, suitable for cultivating immortality." Lu Changsheng turned around and said calmly, "Come, Daigo. Begin cultivating."

"Yes." Daigo sat cross-legged on the grass, feeling nature and calming his heart as he began cultivating according to the qi cultivation method in the group files.

Lu Changsheng watched from the side. Only after the qi within Daigo's body had completed one cycle did he begin instructing him on what needed correcting and what needed improving.

At the same time, he gained complete insight into everything within Daigo's body.

The Light Gene Factor inside Daigo resembled a special physique from Hong Huang. It could assist Daigo in cultivating qi; whenever qi circulated through his body, that segment of genes would absorb energy to strengthen itself and help Daigo.

If this were in Hong Huang, it would probably be called something like a Light Body or Holy Light Body.

This Light Gene Factor was also one of the factors that allowed Daigo to transform into Tiga.

"Alright, Daigo. Follow the method I instructed you in and continue cultivating like this until you break through to the next realm."

"Understood!"

Daigo stopped cultivating and took out the Spark Lens instead.

The moment he took out the Spark Lens, Lu Changsheng sensed the Light Power contained within it. That power resonated with the Light Gene Factor in Daigo's body. When the two came together, it was likely when Daigo transformed into Tiga.

"True Monarch, then I'll transform."

"Go ahead. While you were cultivating just now, I more or less saw through your human body as well."

As soon as he spoke, boundless light burst from the Spark Lens and enveloped Daigo's entire body. In the blink of an eye, a human-sized Tiga Ultraman appeared before Lu Changsheng.

"Cha!" Tiga cried out.

With a thought from Lu Changsheng, his eyes seemed to encompass all creation. He took in Daigo's transformed state as Tiga, and in an instant, saw through Tiga's condition.

"After transforming into an Ultraman, you can't cultivate qi at all."

Lu Changsheng blinked. Tiga's body was filled entirely with light, a vast blank expanse. Forget circulating qi through meridians—he did not even possess the most basic foundation for it. There was simply no way to cultivate qi.

Of course, ordinary cultivators might truly have no solution, but Lu Changsheng had other cultivation methods.

Back when Lu Changsheng had wanted to cultivate an Escape Technique, he had specifically created a Breathing Technique. The Breathing Technique could strengthen the body and achieve effects comparable to qi cultivation. Combined with an Escape Technique, it was enough to flee in time during moments of danger.

Now, it seemed this Breathing Technique could allow Tiga to cultivate.

Lu Changsheng raised a finger and imparted the Breathing Technique into Daigo's mind.

"Cultivate according to this method while in your Ultraman state." Lu Changsheng was curious what Tiga would become after cultivating.

"Yes, True Monarch." Tiga's body rose and fell as he began cultivating according to the method Lu Changsheng had given him.

In Lu Changsheng's eyes, cosmic energy was drawn into Tiga's body, forming a vortex as it greatly strengthened him.

If this continued over time, Tiga would only grow stronger and stronger.

"Daigo, cancel your transformation and let me take a look."

"Yes."

Daigo transformed back into a human.

Lu Changsheng noticed that part of the power absorbed by Tiga's body was stored within the Spark Lens, while a small part flowed into Daigo's Light Gene Factor.

If he kept absorbing energy like this, the power absorbed in Tiga's state could also effectively strengthen Daigo himself.

In other words, Daigo's potential was quite good. He could cultivate in two ways, making him stronger than ordinary cultivators.

"Daigo, let me see your Transformation Device."

"Here."

After taking the Transformation Device, Lu Changsheng wrapped the Spark Lens in his Magic Power. After observing it for a while, he returned it to Daigo.

"True Monarch, you really do seem to be glowing. Before, you looked like an ordinary person, but there was vaguely some light around you. Now, you're truly glowing with light that can be seen with the naked eye." Daigo took back the Spark Lens and said in surprise.

"Glowing?" Lu Changsheng lowered his head and looked. A faint glow was indeed radiating from his body.

But he had long ago placed a seal on himself, so he should not suddenly be glowing. The only explanation for this was that there was a great deal of merit nearby, attracting this body of his.

Lu Changsheng turned around and spread open his hand. Several Spark Lenses appeared in his palm.

Stone Statue Spark Lens, Bronze Spark Lens, Light Spark Lens, Dark Spark Lens, Shining Spark Lens.

While helping Daigo cultivate, Lu Changsheng had studied his body and understood its essence and origin. Creating several Spark Lenses was effortless for him.

Furthermore, he had never paid much attention to the differences between universes before.

Now that he sensed them carefully, he discovered that different worlds contained different laws. Visiting more worlds might even strengthen his own Dao.

Lu Changsheng put away the Spark Lenses and looked up at the sky, as though his gaze had pierced through endless space and time to stare at the place that had caused this Avatar to react.

"Does this universe also possess the power of merit?"
