Life Fruit and Wisdom Fruit

"What is this?"

They stared wide-eyed and blankly at the scene.

The dark clouds split apart, and sunlight poured down?

This scene, like a Divine Miracle, made the viewers swallow several times.

The scene felt exceptionally real, so real that they could sense the vast, mighty power of heaven and earth.

"Putting everything else aside, in a movie, this can't be a coincidence, right..." someone asked hesitantly.

"Do you think it looks like one? That strange wind just now could barely be explained as a chance weather phenomenon, but this miraculous celestial sight..."

"And isn't the place where the sunlight fell a little too perfect?"

"You mean?"

"That's right! That unknown being definitely intervened!"

"It can't possibly be a natural phenomenon, can it? Could there really be such a coincidence? I don't believe it!"

Those who had already vaguely formed an answer could not help nodding at those remarks.

They believed this definitely was not a coincidence!

And no matter how they looked at it, only that god could have done something like this.

"What an unbelievable power, the power to control the weather..." someone marveled.

"If this is real, it's hard to imagine what kind of mighty power that god possesses. Just this alone has already surpassed our understanding!"

A young man in his twenties chimed in from below. "What if this really did happen? Then..."

After falling silent for a while, he continued, "When Adan and the others prayed before, I thought all those words praising god were just ignorance and foolishness, that they knew nothing at all. But now..."

"Could it be that we're the ones who are too arrogant and prideful?"

"Humanity thinks it has conquered nature and stands at the pinnacle of the world, denying every mystery, but... could this world be different from what we think it is?"

"Could there really be... a god! Could He... have been watching us all along!"

Hiss...

Over a billion viewers felt their scalps go numb.

At the beginning, they might have laughed off words like that, but now they could not laugh. Instead, they felt a chill creep down their spines.

Could there really be... a god... watching them?

"Yes, I'm watching you. Watching you make things up. Watching you slander me." Su Qi's face was expressionless.

Those comments left him looking increasingly dazed.

He muttered to himself, "I can't control the weather, and I don't have any mighty power. You people aren't arrogant or prideful either."

"You were right at the start. That really was just a natural phenomenon! Please stop imagining things!"

Su Qi's mouth twitched.

The scene continued. Habil's delight and Gobil's dark, jealous expression were clearly seen by everyone.

This was bad!

Sure enough, the system's prompt confirmed it in the next second.

Gobil fell into jealousy. He believed that because of his younger brother, god had not chosen his offering. At the same time, he felt that his status was under threat.

Over the past two hundred years, the tribe had vaguely split into two factions centered around the two of them.

One side believed that god did not care much about offerings and that there was no need to waste too many resources on sacrifices. A small token of sincerity was enough.

The other side believed that god was supreme, that their current lives were entirely thanks to god, and that they should not disrespect god in such a manner. They should offer their finest sacrifices to please god.

However, with god responding now, that balance would be broken.

Afterward, seeing Gobil invite Habil to the fields with a face full of jealousy, everyone was secretly alarmed.

Inside a grand cathedral.

Father Charlie sat in a chair watching the movie. Behind him stood a group of priests he had summoned.

The previous scenes had already reminded some people of something.

"Gobil... Habil... Cain and Abel? And that sacrifice just now..."

"Isn't this what was recorded in the Bible?" a priest named Mark said excitedly.

Did that mean Habil would be killed by Gobil next?

Sure enough...

Under the gazes of the netizens and the priests, Gobil roared jealously, "Why? Why did god choose your offering!"

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Habil looked utterly stunned.

Gobil angrily knocked Habil to the ground, then finally raised Stone and smashed it down.

Bang!

Blood splattered...

"Ah!"

The viewers screamed.

"Oh my god, that scared me to death! Someone really died!"

Unlike other movies, the scenes in this movie were so real that they filled them with fear.

The looks in Habil's eyes before he died made their hairs stand on end.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Lightning flashed across the sky, as though god were enraged.

"No, no, this isn't my fault! God, I didn't mean to kill him!"

Gobil clutched his head and screamed, then ran away in panic.

Not just him—even the netizens felt intimidated by the thunder.

"God is angry?"

Su Qi: "..."

I really am not!

The scene shifted to Adan.

He was initially stunned, then rushed out with an angry, shocked expression. Some netizens were confused and had no idea what was wrong with Adan, though others had already formed some guesses.

They watched Adan rush into Gobil's home and confront him directly, then watched Gobil lie in panic.

"Your brother's blood is all over the ground. He is wailing, accusing you of killing him!"

Adan said sorrowfully.

"No, no! I didn't!"

Gobil completely panicked.

Adan said blankly, "God has let me know everything."

"God... God knows..."

"Heh, that's right... How could an all-knowing god not know..."

Gobil laughed miserably, his expression collapsing.

Sure enough!

The netizens looked shocked.

It really was god!

Gobil's words made them recall their earlier speculation. Could there really be a god who had been watching them all along?

Everyone shuddered.

Thunder rumbled as lightning flashed in the distance.

The thunder in their ears became even more deafening, as though god were furiously enraged. The wind and rain outside grew heavier, as though god were grieving.

Gobil being driven away did not surprise anyone. Most people felt it was only natural.

The scene before their eyes blurred, and everything changed rapidly.

The prompt continued.

Time passed quickly, and soon another three hundred years had gone by.

Adan's tribe grew increasingly prosperous, but in contrast, his life was nearing its end.

Adan lay weakly on a wooden bed, leaving the netizens stunned.

"Is he going to die?"

"Didn't Adan pick the Forbidden Fruit just yesterday? He's going to die so soon?"

Everyone felt how fleeting time was, while fear of death rose in their hearts.

Su Qi: "..."

Adan picking the Forbidden Fruit had been shown yesterday, hadn't it?

The scene continued.

"Who in this world does not die?"

Facing the cries of his descendants, Adan sighed.

For hundreds of years, Adan had observed plants, animals, and people. He had long realized that one day he would die, and he had long accepted that fact.

"Everything in this world that has a beginning has an end. This was ordained by god. No one can escape it..."

"Other than god, who can live forever?" Adan murmured.

Not long after, he passed away...

As he died, the netizens fell into a daze.

Adan's final words also left them with complicated feelings.

At that moment, Brave Niu Niu commented, "Everything that has a beginning has an end?"

"Isn't that a cycle?"

"People have life cycles, civilizations do too, and even stars cannot escape this fate."

"Could all of this really have been determined by some unseen existence?"

"An eternal god?"

That comment left many people stunned and somewhat horrified.

Back at his old home, Su Qi's mouth twitched. This Brave Niu Niu really knew how to stir things up.

Then Hawa's death made them feel even heavier.

Another six years passed...

A small city appeared before their eyes.

Gobil had arrived here three hundred years ago and built a city.

"Father, where are you going?"

Gobil touched his wrinkled face, raised his head to look at the sky, and muttered, "Yidelis, so many years have passed. I've thought about many things."

Yidelis looked at his father in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Gobil continued to mutter, "I shouldn't have done that back then..."

Perhaps because he sensed that he did not have long to live, he had finally seen many things clearly.

"I wronged Habil. I wronged Father. All these years, I have gained nothing but pain..."

"...I don't even dare to offer sacrifices to god anymore..."

"God definitely will not forgive the wrongs I committed..."

Even back then, god refusing his offering definitely had not been Habil's fault. It was because god had known from the beginning what he had done.

He had thought god would not know about those little actions, but how could god possibly not know?

Even if the offering he had prepared was careless, if he had acted well, how could god have rejected it?

Yet he had blamed all his faults on his younger brother, been blinded by jealousy, and committed that terrible deed...

After that day, Gobil disappeared and was never seen again...

The prompt continued.

Time flowed rapidly, and soon fifteen hundred years had passed.

The scenery flashed by at incredible speed, as oceans turned to fields and fields to oceans in an instant!

Humanity multiplied in great numbers and spread across the earth...

Groups of people appeared on-screen. Their numbers surprised the netizens, but what shocked them even more was the passage of time.

"Fifteen hundred years?!"

"Isn't this time skip way too fast? God!"

At the same time, some people developed a bad feeling.

Could this movie be about to end?

Just as they thought that, a scene left everyone frozen.

Professor Chen, Director Lu, and the others all looked shocked.

The camera shifted, and it actually switched to outer space!

Then they saw something astonishing.

In space, a long, pitch-black Unidentified Flying Object slowly approached, eventually stopping outside the atmosphere.

A spaceship!

Aliens!

Everyone's eyes widened as they stared in shock at the Unidentified Flying Object, its sleek lines brimming with technological sophistication.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"An alien spaceship?!"

"Why would something like this appear?"

Were Aliens visiting Earth?

California, USA.

The host's hand holding the microphone trembled, and the microphone fell to the ground.

But no one cared at that moment, because they were all staring dumbfoundedly at that spaceship.

Prehistoric Ruins site.

"This..."

Professor Chen took a deep breath, his face full of shock.

The people around him were no better.

That was an alien civilization's spaceship, wasn't it?

What had it come to Earth for?

How would it treat humanity?

A string of questions kept surfacing in the hearts of more than a billion people.

Yet just as they were both shocked and curious, wanting to see what would happen next,

the footage suddenly went black and ended...

The comments section exploded completely.

"Damn it! What happened next?"

"It ended again? Fuck!"

"Go to hell!"

"Just die already! Get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost!"

"Fuck!"

Curses rang out across the world, followed by the sounds of people smashing tables and keyboards.

Prehistoric Ruins site.

Professor Chen took a deep breath, his hands trembling with anger as he nearly threw his computer.

Zhang Hao and the dozens of others beside him were no better off, each of them furious.

But no matter how angry they were, there was nothing they could do about the Origin Net in the end.

"Sigh, let's wait..."

Professor Chen felt as though he had aged several years. His heart disease was practically about to flare up.

It was not just them who were curious. Su Qi, back in his hometown, was also deeply puzzled.

He shook his head as well and sighed. "Let's wait until tomorrow."

Only the next simulation could reveal what that thing really was.

Su Qi rose from his chair and stretched his stiff body. After giving it some thought, he decided to go outside and get some exercise.

Not long after he stepped out of the room, a burst of barking sounded.

A yellow Shiba Inu with its tail wagging wildly charged over from the yard.

"Woof woof woof~"

It circled Su Qi, tongue hanging out as it tried to lick him, perfectly demonstrating what it meant to be a suck-up.

"Good boy, Da Huang. I'll get you something to eat later."

After patting Da Huang's round head, Su Qi opened the front gate.

The glaring sunlight streamed in, warm and rather comfortable.

Su Qi took Da Huang out for a walk.

Although this was the countryside, all he could see were brand-new houses that had been built one after another.

Before he had walked far, some neighbors greeted him.

"Little Su, out for a stroll?" asked an elderly woman with graying hair.

Su Qi gave a quiet acknowledgment and nodded.

Old Madam Chen had long since grown used to his few words. Watching his retreating back now, she could not help shaking her head and sighing.

"What a pity. Such a fine child, yet he got cancer. What can be done about it? Sigh..."

A middle-aged man beside her who did not know Su Qi could not help casting a pitying look at his back.

So young, and so pitiful!

Su Qi had long since grown accustomed to those looks. After taking a lap around the area, he returned home with Da Huang.

After returning to his room and locking the door, Su Qi fell into thought, recalling the items he had obtained after the simulation ended.
