The next second, the viewers saw a majestic mountain, heavily guarded by troops, while a group of people slowly approached from afar.

They had barely begun to wonder what was going on.

In 219 BC, the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang's reign and the third year after the unification of the six states, Qin Shi Huang led civil and military officials, Confucian scholars, court academicians, and others to Mount Tai for the Feng Shan Ceremony.

As the notification sounded, everyone was stunned.

"Qin Shi Huang?"

Qin Shi Huang, who was holding the Feng Shan Ceremony?

At that moment, intense curiosity filled everyone's hearts.

A string of curious comments appeared.

"I wonder what Qin Shi Huang looked like."

"The Eternal Emperor of the Ages! I'm curious!"

At that moment, someone asked doubtfully, "The Feng Shan Ceremony is for worshipping Heaven, right? What Heaven are they worshipping? Haotian Shangdi?"

"I don't know. From our modern perspective, the Qin Dynasty should have worshipped the Yellow, White, Azure, and Chi Four Emperors. But prehistoric gods truly existed, so who knows what they were worshipping?"

"Perhaps... the Heaven they worshipped referred to that vague, unknown... god?"

Hearing this, some frowned, some came to a realization, and some grew even more curious.

Su Qi's expression was strange.

Filled with overwhelming anticipation, the viewers stared fixedly at the screen, waiting for the Heaven-worshipping ceremony to begin and hoping to see Qin Shi Huang himself.

However, just as they wanted to know what would happen next, the screen suddenly went black!

The movie... had ended!

The viewers: "..."

The next second, countless curses erupted.

"Fuck, fuck!"

"Damn it!"

"It ended again? I want to see what comes next, ahhh! Go die!"

"Huh, why did I say 'again'?"

Looking at this familiar scene, the viewers suffered inwardly while complaining.

This damn movie was really too short and gave them too little!

Trash!

USA.

"Fuck!" Director Lu cursed aloud.

Inside the church, Father Charlie's lips trembled as he desperately repeated in his heart, God loves all people. I shouldn't get angry... no, no... I need to...

At the Prehistoric Ruins site.

Professor Chen's face darkened, and Zhang Hao and the others beside him looked equally awful.

"Let's wait."

With a sigh, Professor Chen said something that even he found familiar.

As Origin Net's movie ended, someone suddenly began mocking Old Wang Next Door.

"Hahaha, I'm dying! Old Wang Next Door, who kept saying gods didn't exist and were completely fabricated, must have his face swollen from all the slaps by now, right? Slap, slap, slap—it sure sounds loud, hahaha..."

"That's right. Wasn't Old Wang Next Door acting all arrogant before? Where is he now?"

"He doesn't dare come out, does he? His face is probably so swollen even his own mother wouldn't recognize him, hahaha..."

"Hahaha, I'm dying..."

Watching those mocking comments, Old Wang Next Door's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists.

The more smugly he had spoken before, the angrier and more unwilling he felt now.

As his anger built, he gradually fell into a daze and muttered, "Could gods really exist?"

Thinking of the god's power in the movie to create the moon, along with prehistoric humans describing an omnipotent power that knew everything and created everything, he swallowed hard.

Fear filled his eyes as he subconsciously glanced around, terrified that divine punishment might descend upon him.

In the end, he stammered in panic, "No! This is just a movie. There can't possibly be..."

Suddenly, he froze. Looking at the Origin Net displayed on his computer screen, his eyes lit up.

"Right, that's it, this is just a movie!"

"What an idiot I am. Just because the movie was realistic, I actually started treating it as real."

A relieved smile appeared on Old Wang Next Door's face.

Looking at the viewers who were still clamoring, he became excited.

The next second, he rapidly began typing, retorting, "Heh, you're treating some lousy movie as real? And gods? How ridiculous!"

"This is a materialistic modern era. Where would gods come from?"

"What do you mean?" Goody-Goody Rabbit questioned.

"All you've proven is that gods exist in the movie. I can't refute that. But as for reality, heh..."

"This is a movie! No matter how realistic it is, even if it seems to depict prehistoric events, it's still only a movie!"

Old Wang Next Door declared calmly.

It was already beyond doubt that gods existed in the movie, so he could only attack the movie itself.

But Old Wang Next Door knew this point was fatal!

Gods existed in the movie, but they couldn't possibly exist in reality too, could they?

"No matter how realistic your movie is, how perfect its details are, or how well it stands up to scrutiny, as long as they don't exist in reality and there is no conclusive evidence, everything before this counts for nothing!"

Old Wang Next Door looked smug.

Countless viewers were startled and only then realized this point.

The movie's extreme realism and all its details had actually made them forget this.

Old Wang Next Door secretly felt delighted.

He mockingly wrote, "Hehehe, if you've got the ability, go take a look on the moon!"

"Go take pictures of the divine tree!"

"As long as there's no evidence, gods are an illusion!"

He smugly typed those words, and the viewers instantly fell silent.

Suddenly, someone spoke softly. "It's not like there's no way to prove it. Just go to the moon and take a look. We only need to search the far side of the moon..."

"Fuck, are you insane? How are you supposed to get there?"

"We can't do it, but the major countries can!"

"You mean..."

Countless people froze, then grew excited.

That was right. They couldn't do it, but nations could.

Given the importance of this matter, the major powers definitely wouldn't mind going to the far side of the moon to search!

Having figured it out, the viewers became both excited and curious.

"Hahaha, that's a good idea! Old Wang Next Door, you're really a clever little rascal!"

"Agreed!"

Old Wang Next Door's expression stiffened as he stared at their comments in disbelief.

Was this a joke?

"I was just joking. Have these people gone crazy?" he thought in disbelief.

"Besides, how could there possibly be a divine tree in reality? Can't they tell fantasy from reality?"

At this point, the viewers began discussing it.

"There's a problem. If there really is a divine tree on the moon... doesn't that mean there really is a Creator? And that the Creator has been silently watching us all along?"

"Perhaps He is watching us right now?!"

"Hiss..."

Countless people found the thought terrifying, and chills ran down their spines.

"There probably... isn't one, right?"

Though they had supported the idea that gods existed before, now that things had truly reached this point, they hesitated again.

"No matter what, the only way to determine the truth now is to explore the moon," Brave Niu Niu commented.

Back at his old home, Su Qi was stunned as he read their comments. "They're seriously doing this?"

Going to the moon to check for the divine tree?

"That was only a simulation. It shouldn't be possible, right..."

Su Qi suddenly hesitated.

In the end, only one sentence remained in his mind.

"I was careless!"
