Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 556 If the old man remains obstinate, I, too, possess some martial arts skills.

He had never considered the issue from this perspective. He had lived for nearly a century, witnessing humanity's transformation from reverence for nature to its conquest of it, and his heart was filled with nostalgia for the past and disappointment with the present.

He simply believed that humanity had gone astray and needed a "lesson" to get back on track.

But Lin Yu's words were like a sharp knife, cutting open a layer of bloody reality that he had never imagined.

"Then...then what do you think we should do?"

Yokomine Wansho was speechless for a long time after being choked, and finally could only throw the question back at him, his voice carrying a hint of resentment and confusion.

"What do you think we should do? Are we just going to stand by and watch humanity continue down the wrong path? In ancient times, humans and all living things could coexist harmoniously. Why is it that humans today hate monsters so much and insist on exterminating them, causing the world's balance to be completely disrupted?"

"Sir, you have made a mistake."

Lin Yu sighed and patiently explained, "The place you're standing in is too high."

“You’ve placed yourself in a detached position, trying to view the problem from the perspective of ‘nature’ and ‘Earth.’ But you’ve forgotten that you are ultimately just a human being. The ‘harmonious coexistence’ you cherish is based on the fact that ancient humans had low productivity and were powerless against nature. Back then, ‘reverence’ stemmed more from fear and the unknown.”

"Now that humanity has become powerful, it is no longer afraid, which is not wrong in itself. What is wrong is that in becoming powerful, we have lost humility."

"You want to use a disaster to forcibly instill 'reverence,' which is no different from a parent breaking a child's legs because the child is disobedient, so that the child can no longer run around. This is not education, this is violence."

Lin Yu's every word struck Hengfeng Wanxiang's heart like a heavy hammer.

Yokomine Wanshou opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he couldn't find any reason to refute it at all.

Lin Yu's experience and knowledge far exceeded his imagination. His theories, which originated from ancient legends and personal experiences, seemed so pale and powerless in the face of Lin Yu's grand perspective that spanned countless worlds.

In the end, he could only stubbornly raise his head and ask in an almost agitated tone:
"So what do you think should be done? Can you make humanity realize the problem again?"

Faced with Hengfeng Wanxiang's almost final question, Lin Yu did not answer immediately.

He simply gazed quietly at Yokomatsu Mansho, who had spent his entire life grieving for the loss of nature, and then slowly smiled.

That smile contained no mockery, no pity, only a reassuring confidence.

"Sir, you just said that humans are destroying nature, is that right?"

Hengfeng Wanxiang nodded.

"So, if nature is being destroyed..."

Lin Yu paused for a moment, then said something that startled both Yokomine Banshou and Risa.

"Then go and create it."

"create?"

Hengfeng Wanxiang suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Do you take me for a fool? Nature is born of heaven and earth, and all things evolve from it. How could human beings 'create' it?"

"besides,"

Lin Yu continued, offering an even more subversive perspective: "You believe that humanity's forgetting of Nijikagaqi is disrespectful to it. But from another angle, is it a good thing for it?"

"Without human sacrifices and prayers, without the disturbance of desires and expectations, could it sleep peacefully deep within the roots of the world, enjoying thousands of years of tranquility?"

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

Enraged by Lin Yu's shocking remarks, Hengfeng Wanxiang stood up again, pointing his cane at him, "Let the gods sleep? What blasphemy!"

"Whether it's fallacious or not, you'll only know after trying it."

Lin Yu also stood up, his face still bearing that calm and composed smile. "Sir, Risa, would you be willing to accompany me? Consider it an after-dinner stroll."

After saying that, he walked forward on his own without waiting for their reply.

Yokomine Wanshou hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth, leaned on his cane, and followed.

He wanted to see what this young man, who was spouting nonsense, was really up to.

Risa jogged to catch up without hesitation. She had absolute trust in Lin Yu and believed that whatever he did, he must have his reasons.

Lin Yu led the two through the bustling city center and boarded a bus heading to the suburbs.

As the bus moved forward, the scenery outside the window gradually changed from towering buildings to low-rise factories and barren land. A faint chemical smell began to permeate the air. Finally, the bus stopped at its final stop.

This is on the edge of the city, in an abandoned industrial area.

The enormous chimneys stood silently, like rusty tombstones.

The ground was covered with solidified black stains, which emitted a pungent odor.

What should have been a river is now just a murky, foul-smelling black waterway, with all sorts of garbage floating on the surface, and not a trace of life in sight.

This is a corner abandoned by modern civilization, an ugly scar on the earth.

"What did you bring us here for?" Yokomine Bansho frowned, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and his eyes were full of disgust.

"Of course... it's about creating nature."

Lin Yu walked to the stinking black ditch and, under the puzzled gazes of Yokomine Bansho and Risa, slowly extended his right hand.

He closed his eyes.

The next second, an indescribable, warm and powerful force spread from his body.

This is the power called time.

hum-

The entire abandoned industrial area seemed to tremble slightly.

Hengfeng Wanxiang was astonished to see a soft golden light appear in Lin Yu's palm.

The light was not dazzling, but it was full of boundless vitality and energy.

The light spread like ripples, and miracles were happening wherever it passed.

The foul-smelling black waterway began to clear up at a visible speed.

The silt and garbage at the bottom of the water seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand, turning into the purest particles and dissipating.

On the ground, cracks began to appear on the hard cement floor that had been eroded by chemicals and left barren.

One by one, tender green shoots stubbornly emerged from the cracks, stretching out their delicate leaves to face the sunlight.

The pungent chemical smell in the air has long been replaced by the fresh fragrance of grass and trees and the moist scent of earth.

In just a few minutes, this desolate, polluted industrial wasteland was transformed into a vibrant, fairytale-like secret garden.

Risa opened her mouth wide, her eyes sparkling with a dreamlike light. She reached out and caught a petal made of light particles that had fallen from the sky, feeling as if she were in a dream.

Hengfeng Wanxiang was already stunned, and his cane fell to the ground with a clatter.

He reached out with trembling hands and stroked a newly "grown" tree beside him, which was taller than him, feeling the surging vitality contained beneath its rough bark.

He looked down at his feet again; the soft grass had already reached above his ankles.

This miraculous scene before his eyes completely overturned his understanding of the world, which he had been comprehending for nearly a century.

"This...this is...the power of God..."

He muttered to himself, his gaze toward Lin Yu shifting from doubt and confusion to utter awe and shock.

"No, this is not the power of God."

Lin Yu withdrew his hand, and the light in his palm slowly dissipated. He turned around, looked at the stunned Hengfeng Wanxiang, and said calmly, "Human power can also do this, and the effect will be more gentle."

"Sir, do you understand now?"

Hengfeng Wanxiang: ? ? ?
You call this human power?

Then, Lin Yu clenched his fist: "If you still don't understand, sir, then I also know a little about martial arts techniques that involve knowledge."

Hengfeng Wanxiang: Wait, what are you doing?!
