Moonlight team, are you awake?

The Interstellar Alliance carefully brought back the ancient inscriptions from planet G-327 to decipher the text, while the rest of the team continued archaeological excavations along the route where the inscriptions were found, discovering that a very ancient civilization was indeed buried beneath the planet.

The earliest civilizations existing in the universe originated in the Archean era 40 billion years ago. It is generally accepted that 40 billion years ago was a period of explosive growth in cosmic life, during which a large number of cosmic life forms began to emerge.

When numerous interstellar civilizations emerged and began to encounter each other, it was already 30 billion years ago.

At the end of the Archean era, 25 billion years ago, the cosmic beings completed the integration and assimilation of their own territories, and conflicts began to arise among them, thus ushering in the chaotic era of the universe. The cosmic beings began to fight each other, and the scale and intensity of the fighting gradually increased over the next 25 billion years. Many civilizations were destroyed, and many new civilizations rose.

As for what the universe was like 40 billion years ago, no one knows. Even with archaeological excavations, no evidence of life and civilization existed 40 billion years ago has been found. Therefore, everyone believes that life in the universe originated in the Archean era 40 billion years ago, and that life did not exist in earlier times.

However, the ancient inscriptions and relics excavated on planet G-327, after being tested, were found to have existed before the Archean era, and were once very prosperous and powerful, so powerful that they could not have been destroyed without external forces.

This discovery caused a huge uproar in the universe, because life cannot exist in isolation. If there was a civilization before the Primordial Era, then there must have been many more civilizations. But why did all of these civilizations perish? And why were they destroyed so completely, with none of them surviving into the Primordial Era, and not even leaving behind any decent relics?

As for the ancient stone carvings and murals that the Plesians saw on the inscription, if I were to see them in my dream, I would probably be even more surprised than him, because the figures depicted on them clearly include the evil gods Grimmd and Gatanothor.

On Earth, Guregor listened in astonishment as the Evolutionary Lagras recounted the history of Earth as it knew it.

Only at this moment did Grimmd's whereabouts finally come to light.

It turns out that 900 million years ago, the evil god Grimd was indeed destroyed, and it was Earth that destroyed it. When Grimd descended on Earth, it caused almost all of Earth's defenses to awaken.

As guardian beasts, the Earth Emperor Renlong, Rainbow Serpent God Kagachi, Tiguris, Shazak, Zhongnair, and normal Earth monsters such as Sadra, Gudon, Twin-Tailed Monster, Red King, Telestone, Taiton, Gakuma, King Savors, Antora, Gomes, Litra, and so on, almost all the fighting forces that could fight normally at that time crawled out of the ground to fight.

The ancient stone statues, left over from the past, were all revived by the call of the Earth's light, and hordes of monsters and giants of light launched an attack on Grimmd, which was hundreds of meters tall.

The result was extremely tragic. Apart from Renlong and Kagachi, almost all of the Earth's monsters were killed in battle, and the ancient giants were defeated one after another. Only a few giants of light, including Tiga, continued to fight.

The brutal battle once fostered a sense of despair among the Earth forces, and even Renlong and Kagachi began to feel that the war seemed hopeless.

At that time, Ultraman Tiga, one of the Ancient Titans, inspired everyone and rekindled their hope. At the same moment, the hope in the hearts of the Earth monsters and the Ancient Titans converged into light upon Tiga. The monsters who participated in the battle clearly remember that magnificent scene—

Glowing Tiga

Even the ancient giant statues that had been destroyed emitted light, which converged on Tiga, bathing him in golden light and transforming him into a golden giant as large as Grimmd. With incredible power, he completely neutralized all of Grimmd's attacks, and after defeating it, he released a timer flash, erasing Grimmd's chaotic traces from the entire universe.

Although the final victory was achieved, Earth's power was almost completely exhausted. The stone statues, including Tiga, were completely destroyed after exhausting their power. Most of the Earth's monsters died, and even Lagras was born millions of years later.

However, things did not seem to end there. Millions of years later, when everyone's souls returned to the quantum space, Tiga told everyone that during the battle, he felt that Grimm and Gatanothor were inexplicably similar in some ways.

While they cannot be said to be of the same kind, there is definitely some kind of connection between them.

When it fought Gatanothor 3000 million years ago, the enemy was not fully awakened. In a sense, the ancient giants made huge sacrifices just to put it back into slumber. If it were to fully awaken in modern times, the damage it would cause would probably be no less than that of Grimmde. However, Earth no longer has the power to deal with Grimmde.

This fact sent a chill down his spine, as if all the blood in his body had been drained, and a coldness shot from his spine to the top of his head.

If this is indeed the case, then it will not only be Earth that faces crises in the future; the harm caused by Grimmd swept across the entire universe.

“I have to tell Old Pu and the others about this.” Guregor said, pulling out his old communicator to report the news.

However, just as he picked up the communicator, before he could even send a message, he saw a communication request from the Plaiser aliens appear on the screen; they had contacted him first.

Guregor sensed something was wrong, but still answered the call: "Old Pu? What's up with this sudden call?"

The person from Planet Plesia on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Little Gu, is Gaia from Earth next to you?"

“Yes.” Guregor turned and glanced at my dream.

"Have him answer the phone; I have something to say to him."

“Okay.” Guregor guessed it must be something important, so he didn’t rush to talk about Grimmd and Gatanothor, but handed the communicator to MeDream first.

After briefly explaining the situation, I took the communicator: "Hello? This is Gaia, how can I help you?"

The Plaisher alien glanced solemnly at the stone tablet in front of him, then said, "Do you remember the planet where we fought Ruganoga yesterday?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"When our Interstellar Alliance cleanup team was dealing with the battlefield there, they discovered a 40 billion-year-old stone tablet with some inscriptions on it. I originally thought it would take a long time to decipher, but it seems that the person who left the stone tablet back then considered the possibility that the civilization might be interrupted, making it difficult for future generations to read. He left his own mental power inside, so when someone uses their mental power to interpret the inscription, the content of the inscription will be automatically transmitted to the minds of future generations."

The Plaiser paused, his tone somewhat weary: "The contents are truly astounding, and some of them may be related to your Earth."

"Related to Earth?" I really couldn't understand it. Earth was only formed 40 billion years ago. What could things from that time have to do with Earth?

Chapter 139 The Rulers of the Old Ones

"That's a long story," the Plaiser alien explained with a headache. "As you probably know, the vastness of the universe is beyond the imagination of any living being. The part we are currently active in is only the observable universe, but there are unobservable parts in much more distant places, and even places outside the universe."

I nodded: "I understand this concept. The universe is so vast that even after 40 billion years of work, people from all universes still haven't finished exploring the observable part."

“That’s the problem,” the Plaiser explained. “According to the inscription on the stone tablet, in a time far more distant than the Primordial Era, the universe also flourished, and there existed cosmic life forms on a scale far greater than today. They also had frictions similar to a cosmic war, but after a long enough time, they entered an era of peace, just like us now.”

"So how exactly did they perish?" I could roughly guess that some kind of external force wiped out the past civilization, because a civilization that could survive to interstellar travel would hardly perish for normal reasons.

"According to the inscription on the stone tablet, on a certain day, strange creatures flew in from a distant, unobservable place. They completely disregarded the physics of this universe and possessed various terrifying powers and bizarre biological forms."

"Holy crap, Outer God?" I almost jumped up when I heard that.

"Outer God?" The Plaiser alien pondered the title carefully: "The title 'Outer God' is quite fitting, an evil god from beyond the realm."

Then, the Plaiser aliens recounted: "They launched indiscriminate attacks on the then-existing civilizations. No, it's hard to say whether they were intentionally attacking, because it seems that they were just there, and the darkness or chaos they emitted began to destroy everything nearby."

"The cosmic civilization at that time gathered the power of everyone to fight against them, and they did succeed in eliminating many 'evil gods.' At that time, they thought they were going to win, until the final being arrived."

"After the final being appears, all means of attack become ineffective against it. How to describe it... Xiao Ai once recommended a video game from your Earth to me. If I were to use that as an analogy, the final being is a monster that has no health bar and no status bar."

"All civilizations in the universe were destroyed as a result. The last survivors exhausted their strength to barely preserve this stone tablet and some other relics before darkness covered the earth."

"Those beings who destroyed and dominated that era were called 'the rulers of the old days' by them."

After listening to the description from the Plaiser aliens, I remained silent for a short while.

Actually, this information wasn't particularly shocking to him, because he already knew that Gatanothor's prototype was the Great Old One Gatanothor from the Cthulhu Mythos. Many monsters in the Gatanothor universe, and even the entire Demi-Gods, were more or less influenced by the Outer Gods. So, Gatanothor's emergence in this universe as a Great Old One wasn't a particularly shocking thing.

However, if Gatanothor is a monster capable of destroying the civilization of the previous era, then the pressure he will face will be immense.

In the original work, Gatanothor only destroyed one era of Earth's civilization, but here it directly destroyed an era of cosmic civilization. The difference in scale is a bit ridiculous.

"You just said this matter is related to Earth, what's going on?" I asked Mengzhui.

"Have you never felt that Earth has been incredibly unlucky all this time?"

"I can feel it. It's hard to imagine that this situation, where it seems like all the monsters in the universe are heading here, is actually real."

"Actually, 900 million years ago, there was another planet that was just as unlucky as you. It inexplicably attracted monsters and some aliens. At that time, there was a great cosmic war, and that planet received no support. In the end, it was destroyed in the great cosmic war. After that planet was destroyed, the evil god and monster Grimd appeared."

The Plaiser took a deep breath and said, "And Grimmd is one of the Great Old Ones recorded on the stone tablet."

"So you mean the monsters and aliens were attracted by the Great Old Ones, and that an Great Old One is currently sleeping on Earth?" I seemed to understand.

"Yes, the inscription on the stone tablet states that the Great Old Ones passively attract beings with evil hearts. These beings unconsciously move closer to the Great Old Ones, and the Great Old Ones turn them into their own followers, namely the Outer Gods who were once defeated."

"No wonder the monster-killing intensity here is so high. It turns out that the evil god has given me a taunt across the universe?" I finally realized.

No wonder the frequency of monster spawns on Earth is so abstract; it's clearly because of Gatan's existence, which has unconsciously drawn evil-hearted monsters and aliens to Earth. Moreover, as Gatan begins to awaken, this attraction becomes stronger, causing the rate of monster spawns on Earth to become increasingly abstract.

"Therefore, we now speculate that Grimmd may have gone to Earth 900 million years ago and is now sleeping there," the Plaiser alien stated, stating the Interstellar Alliance's deduction.

“Then you’re wrong.” I shook my head.

The Plaisher alien asked curiously, "Why?"

He was curious as to why Gaia would say with such certainty that Grimmd wasn't on Earth.

"Because of Grimmd, it was wiped out on Earth 900 million years ago."

"Huh?" The Plaiser alien's brain briefly went blank.

What? Earth destroyed Grimmd 900 million years ago?

That's impossible. As the Great Old One recorded in the stone tablet, Grimmd did indeed demonstrate a terrifying ability to completely ignore physics. During the Great Cosmic War, the cosmic beings tried their best but could not cause it the slightest damage. Its attacks, however, were unstoppable by any physical means. The two were beings on completely different levels.

How did Earth manage to destroy this thing?

"This is a complicated explanation. In short, Earth basically exhausted its power after destroying Grimmd. Otherwise, we might not have been interested in things like Sphia and the Destruction Bringer."

I'm not bragging, but he can carry the team for a month on his own. If we release Tiga and the guys in the quantum space, Zog will have to put his hair up too.

“Let me talk to Old P,” Guregor said, taking the communicator and beginning to tell the Plescher alien about his experiences on Earth and the history that came with the emergence of the evolved Lagras. The Plescher alien on the other end remained silent throughout, clearly not saying a word.

Chapter 140 The world is a giant battleground.

As Guregor was explaining Earth's history to Pleasant, the body of the evolved Lagras began to rapidly disintegrate.

"This body cannot withstand my power, so it will begin to decay when I unleash all my power," Evolution Ragras calmly explained to my dream.

Seeing the regretful look on my face, Evolved Raglas comforted me, "The battles ahead will become increasingly difficult, but you are the only Light of the Earth left in the world. Hardship is inevitable, and I'm sorry to trouble you."

"I wouldn't say I feel wronged. I'm just fighting to protect the people I love and to survive." I waved my hand, trying to make my voice sound lighter.

After arriving here, he hardly thought about questions such as "What am I fighting for?", "Why was I chosen?", and "What is my goal?"

It's not that these questions are completely worthless, but rather that thinking about them is simply too much of a luxury for him.

His world is all about exhilarating battles.

There's no time to think, no time to grieve, no time to mourn. Every day, the moment I open my eyes, it's all about the thrill of battle. After this thrill, I'll go on to do it again. Sometimes, I might even accidentally die from the sheer thrill of it.

"It's a pity that I've returned to the mortal world, but I can only fight for such a short while. I hope we will meet again in the future." After leaving these words, Evolved Lagras turned into a pile of yellow earth.

I dreamt of staring intently at the mound of yellow earth on the ground, as if lost in thought. Zetton, standing beside me, couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you saddened by your senior's passing?"

"Oh, that's not how it is." I waved my hand, then gathered my power and spun a quantum stream, burning the handful of yellow earth left behind by Evolution Lagras once again.

I shrugged: "I was just hesitating whether to burn this again. Although it's a bit impolite to my senior, what if Sphia can even synthesize this thing? Wouldn't I be in big trouble?"

I was just thinking, what if this handful of yellow earth were transformed into a Sfia chimera, which would evolve into Lagras? Then what would be the point of him playing? The other side could just fire a shot and send him to his grave.

"Hmm... it's good to be careful." Jaden thought for a moment and nodded slightly in agreement.

Just then, Guregor hung up the phone, then leaped to the spot where Volugan and Oklinmania had just been blasted to death by the evolved Ragnarok, and lay down on the ground like an elite hunting dog, sniffing carefully.

"Sigh... Hmm, no more alien or monster smell. Looks like it's been cleaned up pretty well." Guregor muttered to himself as he stood up, then his expression suddenly changed: "But we still need to clean it up a bit more!"

Then, he fired a Solgent shot across the ground, plowing up the spot where Volugan and Oklinmania had just stood, until the soil was scorched black. Only then did he finally pat his chest in relief: "That should be fine."

Seeing Guregor's condition, Zetton couldn't help but facepalm and shake his head, his tone tinged with helplessness and a hint of teasing: "This guy arrived the latest, but his condition is the most serious..."

The sixth behavior of the Sphia life form successfully caused everyone to suffer from looting PTSD. After each monster was defeated, they had to check repeatedly to make sure that the monster did not leave behind any parts or debris before they could feel at ease.

Take Tazi for example. Sometimes he would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and dig a hole to crawl back to the place where he was fighting. He would turn over the soil there to check it again before he could go back to sleep with peace of mind. It's just like some people who repeatedly check if the door is locked.

Guregor arrived yesterday, but in just one morning he has become more cautious than anyone else.

After getting up from the ground, Guregor dusted off his hands and turned to me, saying, "By the way, Old Pu just told me about the crisis management issues for Earth in the future."

"How so?" I asked, intrigued.

With Earth's information now revealed to this extent, extraterrestrials can no longer view Earth with the same spectator mentality as before.

From the moment he came into this world until now, in just over a month, the perceptions of Earth by people in the universe have undergone several earth-shattering changes.

When he first arrived, Earth was just an ordinary low-life planet in the eyes of the Interstellar Alliance. At that time, no one knew that the particularly unlucky planet was because of the existence of an evil god. They just thought that Earth was an extremely unlucky planet. Everyone watched Earth's live broadcast with a sense of amusement, and they were all betting on how many days Earth could last.

These are just ordinary life-bearing planets; a few of them are destroyed from time to time in the universe, so everyone is used to it.

But as people watched, they realized that Earth's resilience was beyond their expectations. Several attacks that were thought to be able to wipe out Earth were blocked. It was from that time that I started to get noticed. People gradually began to realize that this giant protecting Earth seemed a bit outrageous.

During this process, the aliens paid more and more attention to Earth, gradually changing from watching it for fun to worrying about Earth's fate. In other words, they began to empathize with Earth and became involved in its story.

As I grow stronger with each battle, I even gain many fans among the alien audience, because his battles on Earth are so righteous that they are rare in the entire universe. The aliens have been fighting since ancient times to 50 years ago, and countless wars have been waged, but there are almost none that can be truly called righteous.

Earth's battles, on the other hand, are all positively blessed. They haven't offended anyone, they're fighting to protect life, they're risking their lives for others, and their opponents are a completely evil faction. There's not a single flaw in them, so it's easy for alien viewers to immerse themselves in the story without any psychological burden.

The real reversal happened when the Zettonians took to the field themselves. I dreamt of destroying the modified Dorakor, winning Earth a formal seat in the Interstellar Alliance. From that moment on, no one could watch Earth's battles with a spectator's mentality anymore, because from that moment on, Earthlings were considered human in the universe.

Without a seat in the Interstellar Alliance, it would be perfectly reasonable and legal for any alien to go to Earth and do something, because from a cosmic perspective, Earthlings at that time were not even considered "humans." For an alien to go to Earth and kill people would be as natural as a human going to an anthill and pouring boiling water on it.

However, once they have a seat, Earthlings become recognized members of the Interstellar Alliance. If any alien attacks an Earthling, the Interstellar Alliance will have to deal with the culprit without Ultraman's intervention. If the safety of its members cannot be guaranteed, there is no point in continuing the Interstellar Alliance.

This time, Earth has gone from being a member of the Interstellar Alliance to becoming the cosmic overlord.

Regardless of Earth's outrageous past record, the fact that an evil god still sleeps on Earth is enough to make people in the universe sweat.

If the evil god awakens, the likely outcome is that the ancient rulers will once again destroy an era, and everyone will perish.

The way to prevent, or rather delay, the awakening of the evil god is to ensure the safety of the Earth as much as possible. If the Earth is safe, the evil god may awaken, but if the Earth is destroyed, the evil god will definitely awaken.

Therefore, Earth's defense is no longer just Earth's own business; the entire universe becomes a stakeholder.

"Old Pu asked me to tell you that because of yesterday's battle with Ruganoga, the Interstellar Alliance lost many aliens and monsters. Most of the top leaders are also in a weakened state after merging with you. Therefore, the Interstellar Alliance can not provide much help in the short term. However, everyone will take turns sending members in good condition and with top strength to Earth to help with defense. The rest of us will also keep an eye on the situation on Earth. If a major problem occurs, everyone will come to help even if they have to wear pacemakers."

The Interstellar Alliance does indeed have many powerful aliens, but not all of them can come to Earth to help. Most of them have to guard their home, because the experiences of the Salome, Yapool, and Hipporito aliens have shown that if aliens are not careful, their own monster weapons could be stolen and used to attack Earth.

Leaving aside others, weapons tycoons like the Yapools are basically unable to leave their homes. If Sphia were to steal even a small part of their stockpile, it would be enough to give my Dream a hard time.
