Chapter 1 All the unexpected events were inevitable.
On Blue Star, in Province Z, there is a small city built against a mountain, where a small Taoist temple stands. The temple is not luxurious, but it is inhabited by a few Taoist priests who maintain its daily operations.
Although this Taoist temple is not large, it is very efficacious, so it receives a decent amount of worshippers, and local people often come here when they have something to do.
We live in a modern society now, and although the Taoist temple is small, it has everything it needs. It is not out of touch with society.
In the backyard of the Taoist temple, a young man was practicing Tai Chi. His movements were relaxed and fluid, yet his power flowed continuously. Sudden bursts of force were incredibly fast and powerful. After about half an hour, he finished the entire routine and slowly stopped. The old Taoist priest sitting at the entrance said, "Not bad, A-Guang, your skill has reached a high level. You can go down the mountain now." The old priest was the most senior and skilled in the temple. Everyone in the temple was his disciple or grand-disciple.
The young man's name is Yang Guang, he is 24 years old and an orphan. The old Taoist priest said that he found Yang Guang in the mountains when he was just a baby. The old Taoist priest named him, hoping that his heart would be as bright as light and illuminate others.
From then on, the Taoist temple became Yang Guang's home.
Of course, he wasn't completely isolated from the world. The county town was just down the mountain, and Yang Guang went to school like other children. He was slightly smarter than the other children, but much stronger physically.
Regarding Yang Guang's studies, the old Taoist priest never cared about his academic performance. After Yang Guang graduated from university, the old Taoist priest had him stay at the Taoist temple, where he has been for two years now. During these two years, the old Taoist priest has been watching over him to strengthen his Tai Chi practice.
The Tai Chi Chuan of the old Taoist school is quite different from the Tai Chi Chuan sold in the market. It is more like a martial arts style created for actual combat. It is not flashy when performed, but it is very practical.
From childhood to adulthood, besides teaching him Tai Chi, the old Taoist priest taught him more about the principles of being a good person and how to conduct oneself in society.
"It's been over 20 years, you've grown up, and I've taught you everything I needed to. Now you should go down the mountain," the old Taoist priest said slowly.
"Ah~ Master, what should I do after I go down the mountain?" Yang Guang asked.
"You must find the answers to your own life!" the old Taoist priest said.
So Yang Guang packed his things, said goodbye to his master, and went down the mountain.
The path down the mountain wasn't difficult, as pilgrims frequently visited. However, Yang Guang moved incredibly fast, partly due to his familiarity with the area and partly due to his extraordinary physical abilities.
Yang Guang's body was different from ordinary people from a young age; he possessed a warm current within his body. As he grew older, that warm current grew stronger. It nourished Yang Guang's body, giving him extraordinary strength, speed, and recovery abilities. Had the old Taoist not warned him not to reveal his abilities to others, he could have made a fortune as an athlete with these physical attributes.
As Yang Guang pondered what he wanted to do in the future, he hummed a song: Spinning and leaping, I close my eyes~
Yang Guang happily jumped down the steps, only to find a black hole suddenly appear beneath his feet. He lost his footing and fell in.
"Ah~ How could this be?!"
Everything went dark before his eyes, and in the last second before losing consciousness, Yang Guang's mind was filled with questions.
"That can't be right, how could there be a hole here? And so deep at that!"
The M78 Nebula, the Star of Light, shines brightly, like a luminous emerald, illuminating the surrounding universe and is exceptionally beautiful.
At that moment, a circular, golden portal appeared in space. From within emerged a golden giant. Indeed, it was none other than Absolut Tartarus, the warrior of the Absolut people, also known as the Little Golden Man.
"Ah, how beautiful it is," he exclaimed, gazing at the Land of Light, his eyes filled with greed. Then, a flash of golden light, and he was gone.
It was the M78 Nebula again, the Star of Light, and a nearby asteroid. Suddenly, a silver-red giant flew out from within the planet and crashed onto the asteroid.
That's right, this is Belial. He just touched the Plasma Spark, his arm was burned by its energy, and then he fled the Land of Light, landing here.
Suddenly, the golden statue appeared before Belial. Most people are probably familiar with this scene: the golden statue showed Belial a vision of his future, failed self, and offered him immense power as bait, successfully recruiting him.
This place is actually the Land of Light in another timeline. The golden man possesses the ability to travel through time and space, and he comes to this parallel universe to take Belial away.
The universe operates according to its own laws, and when you recklessly disrupt its operation with your abilities, the universe will react accordingly. It's like throwing a pebble into a calm lake, creating waves that spread out, hit other objects, and create new ripples, eventually returning to balance under the influence of all these changes.
As the saying goes, "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. When you play with time and space, time and space will play with you."
Universes are interconnected. For example, someone from the GUTS team in the Ultraman Tiga world, during a patrol mission, came to the world of Ultraman Triga and founded the Shizuma Foundation. Anyone who has watched the Ultraman Triga TV series knows who it is.
Similarly, when the little golden statue travels randomly through different universes, it will unexpectedly cause additional spacetime collisions.
The protagonist, Yang Guang, fell into one of these unexpectedly appearing spacetime tunnels and then traveled to other universes.
...Yang Guang slowly awoke to find himself in a cave. To his surprise, two enormous stone statues appeared before him, one of Ultraman and the other of a monster. After a moment, he realized that these were the giant statues that Masaki Keigo had researched and used to transform into Evil Tiga using Daigo! And the monster statue seemed to be named Gedi, the giant's pet.
Looking at the enormous stone statue, Yang Guang had a strange feeling, as if he had some connection with the giant!
Yang Guang slowly walked forward, approaching the stone statue. He unconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to touch it.
The moment the hand touched the stone statue.
The heat within his body flowed through his hand toward the stone statue. In a flash of light, it felt as if he was being sucked into the statue.
When Yang Guang opened his eyes again, he saw that his whole body was glowing, and he had actually turned into a giant.
It’s incredible!
The light slowly receded from its body, revealing the giant's form. The giant possessed red, silver, and gold colors.
Compared to the giant transformed by Masaki Keigo, Yang Guang's giant has undergone a significant color change. The silver parts of his body have turned red. The black lines have become silver. The red wristbands and ankle guards have turned gold. The red and gold-trimmed chest armor has also become pure gold. He now possesses abs similar to Seven X, looking very strong. His previously sinister blue eyes have turned milky white; while the black eyeshadow has disappeared, the shape of his eyes remains unchanged. These eyes look more attractive than those of other Ultramen, resembling phoenix eyes. The eyes of other Ultramen are simply two large light bulbs, utterly lacking in aesthetic appeal. The recessed areas on both sides of his head have also changed from black to gold. The yellow crystal in the center of his forehead, with its upward-extending black lines, has also turned gold. The entire giant exudes righteousness and power.
Yang Guang felt his body filled with light energy, clenched his fist, and felt the surging power. Then he transformed back into a human.
At this point, Yang Guang's appearance remained unchanged, but he was vastly different from his pre-Ultraman self. Not only had his physical abilities improved significantly, but he also possessed many of Ultraman's superpowers.
At this moment, Yang Guang looked at the magic light stick in his hand, his feelings a bit complicated. Who knew that going down a mountain could lead to time travel, and that time travel could turn him into Ultraman? Such a good thing could happen!
Yang Guang left the cave with three parts doubt, three parts excitement, three parts bewilderment, and ninety-one parts anticipation for the future.
