The Unknown Existence

However, although they did not believe there were any gods, they were still very curious about what exactly the god mentioned by those two primitive humans was.

At that moment, the female primitive human wore a reluctant expression. After a flurry of gestures and several cries, her words were translated for the viewers...

"Delicious fruit. Want to eat."

Everyone froze. Fruit?

What fruit?

They were deeply curious.

"Hawa, no, god..."

Adan, however, looked somewhat afraid upon hearing this.

Some time ago, he and Hawa had accidentally come to the mountaintop. They noticed that no ferocious beasts roamed there. At first, they thought a powerful beast must have occupied the place, which was why no other animals dared enter.

They had been frightened for a while, but then discovered that the mountaintop seemed to have nothing there at all. Not only that, the area was planted with fruit trees, each bearing delicious fruit.

Before long, they had become unwilling to leave this place, free from the harassment of beasts and with food every day.

However, just as they had grown complacent and practically treated the place as their own territory, the mysterious voice that filled them with fear and panic appeared.

They could only hear the voice, yet could not see any figure...

They called that existence God, believing It to be mysterious, unquestionable, and the creator of all things.

The fruits they had eaten were planted by God, and after eating them, both their bodies and intelligence had improved slightly.

However, after learning that those trees belonged to God, they no longer dared pick the fruit without permission, even though it tasted wonderful—especially the fruit from one particular tree, which made them feel exceptionally good after eating it.

But today, Hawa could no longer resist. She wanted to eat fruit again...

When Hawa saw that Adan disagreed, she let out several cries and ran toward the orchard.

The camera followed the two of them, but the several hundred viewers did not notice that at the moment. Their attention had been drawn by someone's comment.

"Don't you think the names of these two prehistoric humans are a little strange?"

"What's strange about them?"

Adan?

Hawa?

They were pretty ordinary. Nothing strange about them.

Most people were confused, but a few suddenly thought of something.

Inside a church, Father Charlie sat before his laptop. Hearing those two names, he frowned.

"Adan, Hawa..." He repeated the names, feeling that they sounded familiar. Then he froze as something occurred to him.

In the Quran, there were the names Adan and Hawa, which translated into the Bible as...

Adam and Eve!

His face filled with shock at the thought.

With a rapid clatter of keys, he posted his guess in the comments.

"Adam and Eve!"

When that comment appeared, Jiang Xin and the other viewers froze.

Most people had heard those names before. They were the ancestors of mankind in Western legends: the man was called Adam, the woman Eve, and humanity was said to have originated from the two of them.

Once he said that, everyone immediately began discussing it.

"Ancestors of mankind? Holy shit!"

In his room, Jiang Xin made a wild connection amid his surprise and commented, "Now that you mention the Western ancestors of mankind, I suddenly thought of the Eastern ancestors of mankind."

"In the West, Eve seems to be called the Mother of All Living Beings. In our East, we also have a Mother of All Living Beings. Her name is... Nuwa!"

"Eve... Nuwa."

"Don't those two names sound a little alike?"

He had abruptly raised a terrifying point.

They were both ancestors. One was called Eve and the other Nuwa, so could Adam correspond to Fuxi?!

Adam, Eve...

Fuxi, Nuwa...

Could it be that a pair of human ancestors had truly existed long ago?

Everyone felt their scalps tingle.

At that moment, although what lay before them was clearly only a movie, the weighty sense of history brought about by that association instantly filled them with interest in it.

Suddenly, someone said,

"Wait!"

"If Adan and Hawa are Adam and Eve, then the 'god' they mentioned must be..."

Everyone froze at those words, surprise flashing through their eyes.

Father Charlie's hand holding his cup trembled, spilling coffee onto his thigh. A burning pain shot through him, yet he paid it no attention, staring at the screen with utter seriousness instead.

Jiang Xin commented curiously, "If this movie has a god, then Adan and Hawa must have been created by that god, right?"

"Definitely."

"Same."

After their lively discussion, everyone returned their attention to the movie, filled with curiosity.

Following Adan and Hawa, the viewers saw an orchard, where fruit trees bearing all kinds of different fruit stood tall.

However, the two trees in the center of the orchard were the most eye-catching.

One of them had a bizarre shape. It grew by the riverbank and had ten branches in total. Nine drooped downward, while one grew upward. It bore orange-red fruits resembling strawberries.

The other resembled an apple tree, bearing pink fruits that looked like apples.

At that moment, Hawa ran toward the fruit tree with the strawberry-like fruit. Both she and Adan had eaten from it before. It was not only delicious, but also made their bodies feel wonderful afterward, so she intended to pick a few more fruits to eat.

However, a black snake slithered onto the other tree, drawing her attention. Her gaze shifted to the apple-like fruit.

She had never eaten this fruit before!

She walked over to the tree and drove away the Black Snake with a stone.

The tree was not tall, only two or three heads higher than she was. A smile appeared on Hawa's face as she stretched out her hand and easily picked a fruit.

Beside her, Adan looked dazed, frightened, and restrained, while Hawa, holding the fruit she had picked, smiled brightly, appearing relaxed and happy.

The contrast between them was stark. The image seemed to freeze, becoming an epic painting.

"What is this?"

The several hundred viewers watching, including Father Charlie, were all stunned.

The epic atmosphere of the scene left them somewhat shaken.

And...

"These two actors have such vivid expressions."

"Yeah, their acting feels so real. It's like they aren't acting at all, like this is an actual scene!"

"Nice!"

It was sweet upon entering her mouth.

After Hawa ate the fruit, she casually picked one for Adan as well.

Adan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he ate the fruit too.

Not long after they ate it, a series of changes occurred before the viewers' astonished eyes!

Their cloudy eyes gradually became clear and bright, as though the eyes of old people had turned into those of infants. The change was incredibly obvious!

Yet it was precisely this change that left the viewers even more dumbfounded.

"No way, right?"

"This acting is way too exaggerated! Oscar-winning actors?"

The process of their eyes changing from cloudy to clear was incomparably distinct, so real it was absurd!

Could such an exaggerated change in one's eyes really be acted?

Disbelief rose in everyone's hearts.

After eating the fruit, Adan and Hawa's minds became clear.

Their hearts, once innocent and muddled like children's, suddenly became much wiser. They understood many things, but because of that, they were also tainted by certain things.

Like children becoming adults, they now possessed thoughts that children should not have, such as...

Now that they had become wiser, the two looked at each other's naked bodies, then at their own naked bodies, and were suddenly overcome by shame.

"I'll find something to cover..." Hawa said in a panic, her speech now much smoother.

She ran to a fruit tree and reached out to snap off branches, intending to use leaves to cover herself.

Seeing how realistic the two actors' performances were, the viewers sighed in amazement. Comments flashed through the comment section one after another.

"This is too realistic! But it's just a fruit—could it really have such a powerful effect? What brand of fruit is this? Give me a dozen!"

"Keep dreaming. If I'm not mistaken, those two fruit trees have quite the background. One should be the Tree of Life, and the other should be the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil."

Someone asked in confusion.

"What are the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?"

"I don't know about the Tree of Life, but I know a little about the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It's also called the Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Wisdom. We've already seen what its fruit can do."

"And that fruit has another name everyone knows. I think you all know it too: the Forbidden Fruit! Eve eating the Forbidden Fruit—sounds familiar, right?"

"Tsk, tsk. Good thing this is only something from a movie. If it really existed, people would fight over it like mad!"

As if responding to them, the narration that had been absent for so long continued.

After eating the Fruit of Wisdom, Adan and Hawa suddenly understood shame, but their actions were also noticed by a blurry, unknown existence...

A blurry, unknown... existence?

God?

The viewers were startled. They could not help staring tensely at the screen, subconsciously holding their breath.
