The Sky Cracks Open

"Father, Mother, what's wrong?" Habil asked curiously.

The netizens also stared intently, their faces showing curiosity.

Adan exclaimed excitedly, "The God has just bestowed upon us knowledge, the knowledge of animal husbandry and farming!"

Everyone's faces froze.

What had they heard? Farming and animal husbandry?

Could it really be these two methods?!

They were astonished, but as Adan explained, detailing methods for planting crops and raising animals, they couldn't help but believe.

This was indeed farming and animal husbandry!

They listened dumbfounded as Habil worshipfully said, "Truly worthy of being God, who knows all. The difficulties we humans faced have been resolved so easily, with methods we never even considered."

Watching Adan and the other three, filled with worship and fear, the netizens, with their broader knowledge, were not as reverent as they were.

However, they felt a chill regarding that mysterious God.

What exactly was that unknown entity?

It hadn't even shown its form...

The unknown was the most terrifying!

If it were aliens, at least they'd show themselves, right?

What is it?!

Adan and his wife couldn't possibly be lying, nor could they suddenly understand farming and animal husbandry.

And after a moment of kneeling and worship, they inexplicably gained knowledge?

If this wasn't a movie, what power was this?

Scientists among the audience muttered, "Unscientific..."

Next, they saw Adan and the others praising God, seemingly seeking divine approval.

The prompt continued.

[Adan and Hawa hoped their two sons would receive God's approval, but the unknown entity 'God' did not respond to them.]

This was not what the netizens had expected. They thought God might reveal some clues, but instead, it was even more mysterious than they imagined.

After this, humanity's civilization developed rapidly. Under Adan's leadership, people learned and attempted farming and animal husbandry. The scenes flashed by quickly.

Finally, after a flicker of images, a prompt sounded.

[Time flew by, and another two hundred years passed...]

Things changed rapidly.

The mountainside was covered with simple triangular wooden houses, animals were kept in enclosures, and cleared lands were planted with clusters of grain.

The camera zoomed in, and the brothers Habil and Gobil appeared in the frame.

Habil, sunny and cheerful, returned from herding sheep. He wiped the sweat from his brow and said to his brother with a bright smile, "Tomorrow is our sacrificial day again, Brother. Have you prepared your offering?"

Gobil, with a blade of grass in his mouth, was taken aback and replied vaguely, "Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, it's ready..."

"What about you?"

"I've prepared three firstborn lambs and some fat. I think God will like them," Habil said happily.

"Oh, oh..." Gobil responded casually.

Compared to his younger brother Habil's earnestness, Gobil's relaxed demeanor was clearly visible to them.

The next morning, the sky was overcast, and dark clouds obscured the sun.

The camera panned across Habil, who was heading towards the mountaintop with his offerings, and then shifted to his brother Gobil.

Watching him head towards the fields with a stone knife, the audience knew exactly what was going on.

"This Gobil has quite the nerve, tsk tsk..."

"Yeah, the sacrificial day is almost here, and he hasn't even prepared his offering. That's amazing! He's nothing like his brother."

They clicked their tongues in amazement, marveling at Gobil's audacity.

"Even we, the viewers, fear that mysterious God. For this person to be so disrespectful is truly something."

What further impressed them about Gobil was that he not only intended to casually pick some grain from the ground to appease the deity but was even stealing it from others!

This behavior...

"What a lazy and selfish person."

"Compared to Habil's good and abundant offerings, Gobil's are truly meager, few, and carelessly prepared."

As they were sighing, a prompt suddenly sounded.

[The two brothers prepared their offerings one after another, but what they didn't know was that all their actions were being watched by the unknown entity.]

The viewers shivered and instinctively gasped.

The implications of what was revealed in the sound prompt were terrifying if you thought about them too deeply.

"Were Habil and Adan's actions being observed all along?"

"Wait! Was that unknown entity only observing them, or everything? Gasp..."

As this thought surfaced, someone voiced an even more chilling idea.

"Then... is it possible that we are also being constantly watched by that unknown entity?"

Gasp...

The more they considered it, the more horrified everyone became!

Back home, Su Qi let out a sharp intake of breath, his hand trembling as he held his phone, nearly dropping it.

He was also utterly shocked!

He exclaimed in confusion, "Am I really that powerful? I didn't even know it myself!"

After the initial panic, someone among the netizens tried to regain their composure. "No, that's absolutely impossible. Let's not overthink this. How could such an entity exist!"

"Yes, that's right, it wouldn't!"

Everyone frantically agreed.

In the end, years of scientific rationalism prevailed. They gradually reassured themselves, convincing themselves that such unscientific entities couldn't possibly exist.

After temporarily stabilizing their emotions, everyone refocused their attention on the screen.

Watching Habil offer three lambs and some fat, and then the flames ignite, their gazes shifted to Gobil.

The sacrificial offerings were piled up, and Gobil was about to light the fire.

At this moment, the audience began to discuss.

"That unknown entity has always been very mysterious. Gobil should be able to get away with this."

"Mm."

This statement was met with agreement from everyone; they all believed nothing would happen.

However, just as they thought this and Gobil had picked up the flint to strike a spark, a bizarre situation arose.

Whoosh~

A strange gust of wind blew.

Not only did it extinguish the flame Gobil had just lit, but the sacrificial offerings were also blown scattering everywhere.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"My offerings!" Gobil cried out in disbelief.

He wasn't the only one stunned; everyone else was also taken aback.

How could this happen?

Someone hesitantly guessed, "Maybe it's due to the weather. Look at the overcast sky; it's obvious a storm is coming. It's normal to have some wind."

This notion was supported by most people, who felt he was right. After all, the weather conditions were obvious, and it should just be a coincidence.

But as they, like Gobil, believed it was an accident, they then witnessed a breathtaking scene.

The overcast sky, covered with dark clouds, slowly split open, and a pillar of golden light descended from above.

The brilliant and dazzling golden light shone directly onto the altar and Habil.

The flames burning on the altar seemed even more sacred under the sunlight.

Gobil's face was filled with shock.

Habil's face was radiant with surprise.

The audience, who had expected nothing to happen, all stared blankly at the rift in the sky and the golden light pouring down from the clouds
