Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were even more confused after hearing Xiao Che's explanation.

Could it be that the people of the Douluo Continent were better at weighing pros and cons?

Was that why they were inferior to the humans of Earth?

They did not accept this conclusion, but Bibi Dong did not refute it.

However, the backlash effects on Qian Renxue had not yet faded, and she retorted bluntly:

"If you say that we cannot become Ultra Warrior hosts because the people of Earth are 'dumber' than those of the Douluo Continent, I cannot accept that."

Qian Renxue's gaze was sharp, her eyes locked firmly onto Xiao Che.

Seeing Qian Renxue being so rude to an honored guest, Bibi Dong scolded her:

"Qian Renxue! Do not be so disrespectful to him!"

But Qian Renxue was puffed up with anger.

"I won't! Sir, in terms of strength, we on the Douluo Continent are stronger than the people of Earth. If we didn't rely on those external forces, our strength could even dominate the entire Earth. So why don't the Ultra Warriors acknowledge us, or even me?"

Qian Renxue had been unconvinced from the very beginning.

Ultraman Leo did not acknowledge her talent, and the Plasma Spark did not acknowledge her either.

Now, Xiao Che was actually saying that not a single person on the Douluo Continent was qualified to become an Ultra Warrior host.

This made her extremely resentful.

Under normal circumstances, she would have endured it, burying her dissatisfaction deep within her heart.

That was what she was best at.

But now, with her temperament drastically changed, she had become straightforward and spoke her mind.

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Xiao Che spread his hands helplessly.

"You've misunderstood one thing. The choice of an Ultra Warrior host isn't based on how strong you are or how correctly you make decisions, but on the willingness to sacrifice one's life without hesitation for hope and for the future. The Ultra Warriors look for this spirit; only then can they entrust their immense power to you, solely for that heart that seeks to protect companions, hope, and the future."

Xiao Che's words shook the foundations of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's worldviews.

What they had thought of before was truly just eliminating enemies after becoming gods.

To live forever, to reign supreme through the ages, to be the only one who matters.

As long as the benefits were sufficient to achieve their goals, it wouldn't matter if the Spirit Hall or the Consecrated Hall were wiped out.

It wasn't their spirits that were the fundamental difference between the people of the Douluo Continent and the humans of Earth.

It was their values.

That was right; the Ultra Warriors themselves were already battle-hardened, exceptionally talented, and possessed superb strength.

The current hosts only had one requirement: the heart.

Yet, this simplest of requirements was something Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue couldn't imagine anyone meeting.

Qian Renxue was left speechless by this.

She didn't apologize, either; she simply looked away and continued to stare at the Sky Screen, grabbing handfuls of popcorn and stuffing them into her mouth.

She seemed to be sulking.

Bibi Dong, however, had come to an understanding.

No wonder the Ultra Warriors had only visited once and never returned.

Bibi Dong looked up and bowed to Xiao Che.

"Thank you for your guidance, Sir!"

Xiao Che nodded, and Bibi Dong sat back down to watch the Sky Screen with him.

[Although Taiga Nozomu's physical body was on the verge of death, Ultraman Zero acknowledged his will.]

[Thus, he merged with him, allowing Taiga Nozomu to become a host and saving his life.]

Seeing this scene, the people of the Douluo Continent had many opinions.

"Why does he get to be a host?!"

Only a moment ago, they had been mocking Taiga Nozomu for being stupid and not knowing how to weigh pros and cons.

Yet now, because of his actions, Ultraman Zero had acknowledged him and made him a host.

But without the explanation from Xiao Che, the transmigrator, they would never know the answer in their entire lives.

In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin were all exceptionally talented.

They clearly saw the difference between themselves and Taiga Nozomu.

"It's the heart. No wonder the Ultra Warriors won't acknowledge us—or perhaps, no soul master or mortal on the Douluo Continent would ever be acknowledged."

Ning Fengzhi nodded in thought, sighing softly to himself.

Gu Rong nodded as well.

"If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate for even a second; I would abandon that boy's life immediately."

Chen Xin was the one among the three who understood this sentiment the most deeply.

Because he had known the reason from the very beginning.

Even if they acted in such a way hoping to gain the recognition of an Ultra Warrior, they would never truly be accepted by one in the end.

They could only deceive for a moment, because their true nature was already set.

Born on the Douluo Continent, how could they possess a heart like that of a human from Earth?

The values formed on the Douluo Continent were already deeply rooted in their souls.

It was impossible to change them now.

Within the Soul Beast camp.

Gu Yuena was facing the wall, reflecting on her actions.

She had exercised some restraint, which allowed her to suppress the backlash slightly.

With the additional help of Di Tian and Xiong Jun, she was, for the time being, no longer in a rush to surrender.

Di Tian, watching the Sky Screen, sighed with emotion:

"Foolish creatures, yet this very foolishness is a prerequisite for becoming a human host for an Ultra Warrior. However, there is at least one benefit: it is highly unlikely that any Soul Master on the Douluo Continent will be able to become a host."

He glanced at his sovereign, Gu Yuena.

There was at least another hour before this state would fade.

Di Tian shook his head helplessly.

He had expected that after being struck by the backlash, Gu Yuena would be impatient to wage war against the Soul Masters.

Yet, the result was that she was in a rush to surrender to Ultraman.

Although Di Tian could not understand this, he still forced an explanation for Gu Yuena:

It must be that the Sovereign does not wish for us to sacrifice ourselves. After all, Ultraman's power is truly too great; she fears we might face extinction because of it. The Sovereign is truly giving her all for the sake of the Soul Beasts.

However, he now hoped that the Sky Screen would not show any more Ultra Warriors that might trigger Gu Yuena's mental state.

He and Xiong Jun had already stopped her several times, and on one occasion, they had almost failed to hold her back.

And that was only while Gu Yuena was still exercising some restraint over her own will.

Had her desire been any stronger, or had she exerted more of her power, they absolutely would not have been able to stop her.

Take that Warrior of Compassion, for example.

Earlier, the moment Gu Yuena heard that term, she had a mental breakdown and tried to run off; it took Di Tian a long time to persuade her to return.

They looked back at the Sky Screen, which had already begun to play the next scene.

[Taiga Nozomu, carrying a child, suddenly discovers a Monster.]

[The Monster charges toward them, intent on crushing them to death.]

[At this moment, Ultraman Zero, residing within Taiga Nozomu, proactively reveals the transformation device, the Zero Eye Slugger, from the bracelet.]

[Zero: "Let's go, Taiga. As long as you put on the glasses, you can become an Ultra Warrior and destroy the Monster."]

The people of the Douluo Continent watched the Monster; it moved sluggishly, and its only means of attack was the drill on its nose.

They immediately laughed and said:

"It looks like it came to throw its life away to Ultraman Zero. Ultraman Zero could finish off a Monster like that with two Eye Sluggers."

But the reality was...

[Taiga Nozomu looks at the Zero Eye Slugger, and just as his right hand reaches out, he suddenly swats the glasses back into the bracelet.]

[He then picks up the little boy and runs away.]

[Taiga Nozomu: "I don't want to become an Ultra Warrior!"]

[Ultraman Zero: ???]

Bibi Dong: ???

Qian Renxue: ???

Ning Fengzhi: ???

Chen Xin: ???

Gu Rong: ???

The people of the Douluo Continent: ???
