For the chat group, none of these things were necessities. Even resources — they had no idea whether the chat group even had unlimited quantities of the same items.
In other words, the chat group didn't need any of this stuff at all.
The reason the chat group could recycle these items and give members points was perhaps simply to provide members with a channel to earn points.
**Child of Nature:** \"Of course, there's also the possibility.\"
**Child of Nature:** \"For example, the items we recycle contain some special kind of energy — like world destiny, world laws, or heavenly aura.\"
That possibility couldn't be verified, because there was no way for them to feel the loss of world destiny by recycling these things.
Even Bai Xuan couldn't do it for now. Maybe after the [Authority of Nature] evolved again in the future there would be a chance, but currently he couldn't manage it.
**Invincible East:** \"Compared to martial arts manuals, rare herbs and treasures are far more scarce.\"
**Invincible East:** \"The chat group doesn't even recognize ordinary medicinal herbs.\"
Dongfang Bai nodded at Bai Xuan's words.
The jianghu of today was nowhere near as magnificent as it once was — not in the strength of its warriors, not in its martial arts, let alone its rare herbs and treasures.
Herbs under a hundred years old the chat group wouldn't recognize, and even if it did, the points were minimal — sometimes only a few thousand.
The cost-to-benefit ratio was far worse than martial arts techniques.
Creating a martial art wasn't particularly difficult — even a third-rate martial artist in the jianghu could manage it, though it would be third-rate or worse. But the sheer quantity could make up for the quality deficit.
Many martial arts from the past had been lost to time, but their remnants still existed in various forms.
Those fragments, while they couldn't be used to reconstruct the original manual, could still serve as inspiration for creating entirely different martial arts.
The critical point was that different martial artists, with different talents and experiences, could create completely different martial arts manuals from the same fragment!
Dongfang Bai had even made it a point to release some of these fragments to every member of the Sun Moon Holy Cult. Anyone who could create even a single martial art — even a third-rate one — would receive her reward. The stronger the martial art created, and the more of them, the better the reward.
Her world was a low-martial world — it was already an era where the age of martial arts was approaching its decline. She didn't have many ways to earn points, and this path was one of her few stable and most important avenues for doing so.
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"I have some technical knowledge here that's worth quite a few points, but I don't have the authorization.\"
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"Compared to that, fighting monsters is still easier.\"
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"It's just that after defeating the evil god Gatanothos, I wonder if there'll even be any more monsters on Earth.\"
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"If there are no more monsters, I'll have to find other ways to earn points.\"
Daigu's attitude toward monsters was rather complicated. He could sense his own change.
Originally, he should have been praying for monsters to disappear from Earth entirely. But now, he found himself reluctant to see them go.
After all, even the weakest monster was worth a considerable amount of points to him. Losing that entirely would really be a shame.
**Shiasentence:** \"I actually heard a note of reluctance in your words.\"
**Shiasentence:** \"But you're Justice Ultraman Tiga!\"
**Shiasentence:** \"Shouldn't you be hoping monsters disappear from Earth!\"
Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up on Daigu's tone and roasted him about it.
**Shiasentence:** \"And after Gatanothos there's still the Final Holy War, right? How are you planning to deal with Camilla?\"
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"That's…\"
Daigu was a bit headache-y about it. He had subconsciously glossed over Camilla, because deep down he didn't want to kill Camilla the way the memory replica showed.
Because from what the memory replica revealed, Ultraman Tiga had betrayed his former comrades and lover, stolen their power, and even sealed them for thirty million years!
He did want to find reasons to excuse Tiga's actions, but try as he might, he couldn't come up with any.
Camilla loved Tiga deeply — that was beyond question. Even after being betrayed, even after being sealed for thirty million years, Camilla still chose to give Daigu a chance to return to their side.
*\"Light — I crave it too.\"*
Camilla said that before she died. It wasn't hard to see that what Camilla resented wasn't Tiga betraying them, betraying the darkness — it was that Tiga hadn't brought Camilla along.
For Camilla, she didn't care about darkness or light. What she cared about was only Tiga.
If Tiga had taken Camilla with him back then, the Final Holy War would never have happened.
Even Daram and Shitra — given Tiga's position as the leader among the four of them, if he had expressed his true intentions, Daram and Shitra might not have been opposed to choosing to become light alongside Tiga.
Even if they refused, at the very least it would have been two-on-two — Tiga and Camilla versus the other two!
Could it really be that Tiga fell in love with Yullian?
Did he abandon Camilla for Yullian?
Daigu shook his head. There were probably deeper reasons behind it all, but he couldn't think of them.
Because Tiga must still have had feelings for Camilla and the others — otherwise his choice wouldn't have been to seal them. He would have killed them outright.
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"I don't know what to do.\"
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"But if they want to harm humanity, I will stop them.\"
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"I'm not Tiga. I'm just an ordinary human who was fortunate enough to receive this power. The love Camilla feels for Tiga — I can't accept it, and I don't deserve to.\"
**Cook Daigu Into Soup:** \"Otherwise it would be a kind of injury to both Tiga and Camilla.\"
He wasn't Tiga. He was just a lucky ordinary person who happened to receive this power.
Camilla's feelings for Tiga were profound and heavy. He had no right to bear those emotions, even if there were no Rena by his side.
**Regular Old Group Leader:** \"So here's the question — is Daigu an ordinary person who inherited Tiga's power, or is there some deeper connection between him and Tiga?\"
**Regular Old Group Leader:** \"If just having Ultra genes were enough, would memories suddenly appear in his head out of nowhere?\"
**Regular Old Group Leader:** \"Why did Yullian say to 'cook Daigu into soup' — wait no, to 'make Daigu become light'!\"
**Regular Old Group Leader:** \"Doesn't Camilla know that Daigu is just a human who inherited Tiga's power? I mean, the memory replica showed him getting beaten to a pulp. There's no way they didn't know — yet they still gave him a choice.\"
**Regular Old Group Leader:** \"It really feels like there are a lot of mysteries buried in all this.\"
**Regular Old Group Leader:** \"From the information I have, Ultraman Tiga's true form definitely left Earth — and Ultraman statues exist across different time periods and dimensions. Is it possible that Tiga's true form got tired of everything, dissolved himself, and his soul reincarnated back on his home planet Earth, reborn as Daigu?\"
