Watching the Sky Screen, everyone on Douluo Continent knew.
Ultraman was dead.
Really dead.
The Ultraman who had the power to kill a million-year soul beast in a single blow was truly dead.
Gu Yuena and Xiong Jun both looked at Di Tian, watching his reaction.
Di Tian made no effort to hide his delight.
After all, anyone would find it hard to conceal their pleasure at seeing a powerful enemy—one who wanted to kill them and was capable of doing so—get killed.
Besides, he truly hadn't expected that Zetton could actually kill Ultraman.
"Looks like Ultraman isn't immortal after all."
Xiong Jun spoke disdainfully.
At the same time, they had all noticed something else.
When Ultraman reached a certain time limit or suffered serious injuries, the light on his chest would start flashing red.
They had also noticed that after Ultraman died, he had actually "turned into" a human.
"It seems Ultraman inhabits a human's body by some means, and can take on his true form when necessary."
Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully.
In other words, the Ultraman who had come to Douluo Continent might be hiding among humans right now.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi had also realized the existence of a Human Host.
He lowered his head in thought, murmuring:
"This Earthling is a genuine Earthling, not Ultraman's true form. Perhaps Ultraman needs to inhabit a local person when he goes to fight on another planet."
Chen Xin nodded, agreeing with Ning Fengzhi.
At the same time, the Sky Screen displayed information about that human.
[Hayata Shin]
[Ultraman Human Host]
[Can transform into Ultraman by using the Beta Capsule]
[Activity duration: 3 minutes]
Ning Fengzhi wished more than anything that one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's disciples could become Ultraman's Human Host.
That way, even if it lasted only three minutes, the disciple would be a powerful deterrent to the other forces—even without transforming.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's position would improve a hundredfold.
And they could avenge Chen Xin's severed arm at the hands of Spirit Hall.
Then, the image on the Sky Screen shifted again.
[After Ultraman was defeated by Zetton and his Color Timer went dark, the gravely wounded Hayata made his final decision amid the ruins. He did not raise the Beta Capsule to transform again. Instead, with the last of his will, he severed the life bond between himself and Ultraman.]
[He poured all his life energy into Ultraman, offering it as his "last gift."]
[As a warm light flowed from Hayata to the fallen giant, a miracle occurred: the Color Timer on Ultraman's chest lit up again, and his eyes began to shine once more. Slowly, he rose to his feet. His life had been restored.]
"He's alive?!"
The people of Douluo Continent cheered.
Ning Fengzhi was filled with admiration for Hayata Shin's spirit.
He had cast aside his powerful strength without hesitation, sacrificing his life for the happiness of Earth.
Even on Douluo Continent, figures so worthy of song and tears were rare.
Chen Xin also felt a spark of kinship with Hayata.
When Spirit Hall had hunted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he too had given himself up without hesitation for the sect.
The only difference was that he had been powerful enough to get away with losing just one arm.
Hayata, on the other hand, was an ordinary person, yet he had given his life.
Gu Rong, however, thought it was well worth it.
"If one ordinary person's life can bring an Ultraman back to life, I'd do the same in his place."
Gu Rong's words were hard to deny.
How was that any different from an ordinary person with no Soul Power sacrificing their life to bring a god back from the dead?
Such a thing would be absolutely impossible on Douluo Continent.
And yet, Ultraman had done it.
At the same time, the Sky Screen changed again.
This time, it showed a strange, eerie space.
[Ultraman lay on a platform, with another Ultraman standing beside him.]
Though they looked very similar, the watchers could still tell they weren't the same Ultraman.
The Ultraman on the platform had clearly lost all signs of life.
Just then, the other Ultraman moved.
[Ultraman Zoffy spoke: "Space hero, wake up! It's me, Zoffy."]
["Ultraman, and Hayata too—give your lives to this Hayata. I came all the way from the M78 Nebula to carry out this task."]
[Ultraman was successfully revived. But this rebirth came at a price. Hayata lost all his memories of Ultraman and returned to being an ordinary mortal. Restored to full strength, Ultraman flew off with Zetton into the depths of space beneath the setting sun, beginning his lonely journey back to the M78 Nebula.]
Only then did the people of Douluo Continent understand.
Ultraman really was immortal. Even when he died and disappeared, it only meant his life energy had run out.
All they had to do was bring another supply from the Land of Light to revive him.
And it wasn't just Ultraman—other life forms could be brought back, too.
Qian Renxue even jumped to her feet in excitement.
"Revival! Then Grandpa could also..."
She looked at Xiao Che expectantly.
Her eyes were full of longing.
Xiao Che knew that if he could revive Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue would probably obey his every command.
But even he couldn't do that.
Unless he obtained the power of the Mysterious Four Ultras or fused with Lugiel's power.
Xiao Che could only offer her a quiet word of comfort:
"The dead cannot be brought back to life..."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue could only nod sadly and sit back down.
The Sky Screen had finished showing First Generation Ultraman's ending.
It turned pitch-black.
But before long, several lines of text appeared on it.
[Zetton is about to invade Douluo Continent.]
[One person will be selected at random to receive the Beta Spark and become Ultraman, resolving the crisis.]
[Successfully resolving the crisis will earn the Beta Spark (three transformations into Ultraman) as a reward.]
Xiao Che was slightly taken aback.
How come he'd never heard about a reward like this?!
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, on the other hand, weren't surprised.
Since the Sky Screen and Ultraman had appeared on Douluo Continent, that meant Douluo Continent would be invaded.
At the same time, they both saw the opportunity they had imagined.
Three transformations into Ultraman, each lasting three minutes.
Even if they didn't use it, it would be enough to deter the other forces.
They just didn't know who would be selected at random.
A moment later, two shooting stars streaked across the sky above Douluo Continent.
One fell into the Star Dou Forest and transformed into a colossal beast dozens of meters tall.
It was the Space Dinosaur, Zetton.
Standing on Zetton's shoulder was a tiny humanoid figure.
The Zetton Alien!
He looked around in surprise.
"So there really are such strange planets in the universe. The people here are much stronger than those on Earth."
Then the Zetton Alien entered Zetton's body.
In an instant, he sensed several figures in the Star Dou Forest.
"Let's use you lot to test how strong this place is."
The figures the Zetton Alien had spotted were the Shrek Seven Devils.
