In chapters 20-22 of "Childhood's End," we explore the motivations behind the Overlords' arrival on Earth, examining three key reasons for their mission and their significance to the Overmind. The transformation of children into a new species marks a pivotal moment in human evolution. Jan's visit to the Overlord’s planet reveals unexpected truths about reality and showcases the stark differences from his prior expectations. As Jan learns about the metamorphosis of humanity and the drastic changes on Earth, we reflect on the implications of coruscation and its impact on both the Overlords and humanity.
