"Origin Net updated?"
Startled cries rang out across the world.
On the battlefield of online debate—
"Brothers, stop arguing. Origin Net updated—I'm heading out first!"
"What? Origin Net updated?!"
At once, no one had the mind to keep arguing. They all rushed onto Origin Net.
"I want to see what they've got this time," Old Wang Next Door said disdainfully.
Goody-Goody Rabbit was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only enter Origin Net resentfully.
At the Prehistoric Ruins site—
"Professor, Origin Net updated!"
Professor Chen, who had been handling artifacts, was startled. He hurriedly set down what he was doing, grabbed his laptop, and entered Origin Net.
USA.
Inside a grand church, Father Charlie, who had been saying morning prayers, also noticed Origin Net's update.
After sending the news to the other priests through an app, he impatiently entered Origin Net himself.
Brave Niu Niu, Unbreakable Airman, Director Lu, host James... one after another, they all entered Origin Net.
Before clicking in, they were filled with curiosity.
What exactly was going on with that Unidentified Flying Object?
Did Aliens really exist?
That was more or less what they had been thinking before entering. Yet when they actually clicked in and eagerly saw the newly appeared movie, they all froze.
"Prehistoric Civilization 3: Great Flood?"
What was this?!
Those last three words immediately caught countless people's attention.
Then, after giving it some thought, some people figured it out, and their expressions changed at once.
"That prehistoric flood?" Professor Chen's face was filled with shock.
Father Charlie, staring at his computer, was also stunned.
"The Great Flood recorded in the Bible?"
It wasn't just them who were shocked. The netizens also belatedly realized it.
Even those who had not caught on were reminded by the comments.
"That prehistoric Great Flood? Holy shit!"
"This movie actually involves the mystery of the Great Flood?"
They were all astonished.
Amid their shock, countless people impatiently clicked on Prehistoric Civilization 3: Great Flood.
However, under the expectant gazes of countless viewers, the playback area flickered—and what appeared was...
02:54
The netizens: "..."
The sight felt familiar. It seemed like they had seen it somewhere before.
The next second...
"Damn it! Holy shit!"
"I'm devastated!"
"Same!"
In that instant, countless people became furious, because their expectations had been crushed to pieces.
"I should've known! I actually got so excited for nothing, damn it!"
"Fuck..."
"Three hours again? This shitty website is going to get blown up!"
"Fuck!"
Comments full of curses kept appearing.
But after cursing that bastard who had set the three-hour timer enough, there was nothing they could do about the website. They could only endure the passage of time with hearts itching like they had been clawed by cats.
With nothing else to do, the netizens immediately began discussing it.
"Speaking of the Great Flood, I just remembered..."
At the mention of the Great Flood, people immediately thought of the livestream that had been broadcast on television at the Prehistoric Ruins not long ago, as well as what Professor Chen had said.
"I'm curious—what exactly happened with that prehistoric Great Flood?"
Countless people were curious about this kind of worldwide unsolved mystery.
A netizen named 'Resurrected Ultraman' said, "Was it melting glaciers? Or an asteroid impact?"
"Or perhaps continental plate movement?"
Another netizen said, "I'm curious too. But since this movie is labeled Great Flood, the flood should probably appear. We'll find out the reason then."
Suddenly, someone had a wild thought. "Could it have been caused by that Unidentified Flying Object?"
After a brief silence, a string of admiring comments appeared.
"666, bro, you're amazing!"
"Good guess. That's definitely possible—probably even very likely."
"Maybe it was aliens who did it!"
For a while, the comment section buzzed as countless people discussed and speculated.
The many netizens waited impatiently.
As they waited, countless people who had only just caught on clicked into Origin Net, and the number of viewers kept rising.
Five hundred million... one billion... one and a half billion...
The number was still skyrocketing.
Very soon, the final minute arrived!
00:01
Under the impatient gazes of Professor Chen, Father Charlie, Director Lu, Old Wang Next Door, Brave Niu Niu, and others, the timer slowly ticked down to zero.
00:00!
As the number hit zero, countless people widened their eyes and stared fixedly at the viewing area.
The comment section exploded as well.
"Go, go, go!"
"It's starting!"
Amid the expectant gazes of countless people, the darkness in the viewing area faded, and a glimmer of light emerged.
The first thing the netizens saw was the pitch-black expanse of space, along with a black Unidentified Flying Object slowly approaching and stopping within the atmosphere.
"An Unidentified Flying Object!"
"Oh my God, even though I've seen it more than once, every time I see this thing, I can't help being amazed. It looks so high-tech."
"What's inside?"
As if it had sensed the netizens' amazement and curiosity, the camera slowly moved closer to the spacecraft. Under the tense, breathless stares of countless people, the scene inside the ship came into view.
Silver. Everything was silver—smooth walls brimming with a high-tech feel, simple yet beautiful in style.
A few seconds later, the cockpit appeared: ten seats, and figures sitting in them.
They were two or three meters tall, with heads that looked both birdlike and human, and a pair of wings behind them.
The netizens fell silent for a moment. Then, in the next second, the comments exploded.
"They really are aliens!"
Countless shocked gazes stared in disbelief at the ten figures seated in the chairs.
Although they had already been prepared and had guessed there might be aliens inside the spacecraft, when they actually saw this scene, they were still utterly stunned.
As they stared in shock, an alien seated on the far left said, "I didn't expect there really to be a planet here that could support our survival."
At those words, countless hearts skipped a beat.
Especially when an image of Earth was projected, followed by prehistoric humans appearing on the screen—and then those aliens uttered a single word—their mood worsened even further.
"Indigenous?"
An unexpected look appeared on Jonas's face as he casually commented.
"These lower lifeforms actually possess fairly decent intelligence."
"Yes, it's surprising. There are actually little intelligent creatures on this planet."
Hearing their remarks, the netizens erupted.
"Indigenous? Lower lifeforms? Fuck, how arrogant are these people?!"
Countless people grew indignant, glaring fiercely at the aliens in passing.
"What's so great about aliens? Sooner or later, we'll make them crawl!"
"Exactly!"
The netizens said disdainfully.
