"Take my Destruction Fire Lotus!"

Zhang Menglong didn't plan to waste time tangled with these monsters and immediately countered with a big move.

The exploding flames instantly wiped out all the monsters in a blaze of fire.

"Done... Wait..."

Zhang Menglong was about to pat his butt and leave, but the sense of crisis he felt didn't disappear at all despite the monsters being burned to death.

The particles, already vaporized, began to coalesce because of some force. Then, with the appearance of a nauseating black liquid, the monsters actually revived!

"How is this possible?" Until now, there had never been a creature that couldn't be killed by Strange Fire!

The revived monsters had almost the same aura, but their desire to kill had expanded several times, and their gaze toward Zhang Menglong was filled with aggression and an unspeakable evil.

"How do you kill these things?" Zhang Menglong felt momentarily at a loss, and a question arose in his mind: How were these monsters born? Are they terrifying species left over from that era, or are they formed later? After the Ancient Cave Heaven became increasingly deserted, what exactly had happened?

[Dean, they're afraid of light!]

"Huh? Of course!" Zhang Menglong suddenly realized these monsters appeared in the complete darkness that surrounded them, and the previous Warcraft clearly avoided the Twilight Line, suggesting light might be their nemesis!

But another problem arose: any light source here couldn't be maintained. Any Strange Fire Zhang Menglong set ablaze, its flames could be seen clearly even from a thousand miles away, and now the visibility was less than ten meters!

As for things like candles or flashlights, they couldn't even produce a faint glow in this darkness.

[Dean, based on my analysis, the darkness here doesn't absorb the most primitive light.]

"Ah?" Zhang Menglong was taken aback. "I haven't read much. Can you explain it to me clearly?"

[The light you just used is formed through energy transformation. The light from Strange Fire comes from the conversion of heat energy and energy in your body. As for other electronic devices, it's generated through electrical energy transformation. That's what I mean by non-primitive light.]

"They're afraid of primitive light?" Zhang Menglong asked. "Where on earth would I find primitive light?"

The monsters were beginning to show signs of restlessness towards Zhang Menglong, but the previous flames hadn't lost their deterrent effect, so they dared not approach easily. Of course, they wouldn't choose to let go of this hard-earned prey either.

Whenever night falls, all creatures strive to find a hideout to avoid danger. Although day and night here are unstable, most creatures choose to reside in familiar locations. That way, they can quickly hide and avoid being found by monsters when day and night suddenly alternate.

The herd of Warcraft today was migrating. Naturally, they didn't know much along the way, so they were in disarray as soon as night fell.

[Based on my analysis, this world had light when it was born, and daytime in this world is caused by that light. As for the night, it isn't purely night but something similar to light yet entirely opposite.]

"Are you getting metaphysical with me?" Zhang Menglong said. He knew the nature of light and knew the night is dark simply because there's no light, not because darkness is a thing. But Gou Dan's words directly overturned his thoughts.

[This might be the unique feature of this world. Light and darkness form the alternation of day and night here. Darkness becomes the incubator for monsters. They can only operate in areas shrouded in darkness, and light is naturally their nemesis.]

"I understand the principle," Zhang Menglong said. "So what about the light you mentioned?"

[Why are you asking me? Haven't you watched so many Ultraman shows in vain? Noah Ultraman, the first light of the universe, and Ultraman Tiga who is light himself — do I even need to teach you this?]

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zhang Menglong rummaged on his body and suddenly pulled out a strange device, which was Noah Ultraman's transformation device!

This transformation device wasn't a fake Zhang Menglong made but an authentic transformation device. It can change him into Noah Ultraman and summon light — the purest, most primitive light!

Taking out the transformation device doesn't consume anything, but using it to transform or summon light requires consuming lots of Cred Points. It takes up to 100 Cred Points per second! And that's at the lowest power!

Zhang Menglong directly activated the transformation device, and instantly, an incredibly dazzling light radiated from it, even making him feel submerged in a sea of light.

A giant phantom radiating pure white light appeared behind Zhang Menglong, covering ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters... The area covered by the light kept expanding, seemingly devouring the other substance called "darkness."

As Gou Dan predicted, the monsters exposed under the light faced imminent disaster. As soon as the light touched them, they emitted sizzling sounds, and an unpleasant odor permeated the air.

Even after a few seconds, they were completely devoured by the light and then disappeared entirely!

"This thing burns through Cred Points like crazy!" Zhang Menglong tried it briefly, and the light covering around ten meters consumed about 100 Cred Points per second. A hundred meters took around 500 Cred Points per second, and for a kilometer, it consumed 1000 Cred Points per second. That's 60,000 per minute and 360,000 Cred Points per hour.

Even Zhang Menglong couldn't sustain such consumption!

"But Cred Points aren't gained by saving them; you have to earn them!"

[Dean, do you have another idea?]

"What do you think? Of course, real estate!" During those days in the Hong Yun Empire, Zhang Menglong experienced firsthand how profitable real estate is in such special times. Within just those ten days, he had already recovered the money the Mu Family owed him, with interest.

"Everyone, come on out! Time to build infrastructure!"

Zhang Menglong directly opened the Super God Academy's warehouse, and a squad of construction robots marched out neatly.

"Gou Dan, help me design a large-scale survival base. It should have complete facilities, a high taste level, and a vast area!" Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "From now on, I'm the landlord of this Ancient Cave Heaven survival base!"
