With leaves covering their bodies, Hawa and Adan felt fear rise in their hearts. They had stolen something from God, so how could they not be afraid?

In their panic, the two tried to hide.

Very quickly, panic appeared on their faces, as though some presence had directly discovered them.

To the viewers' astonishment, what followed was like a pantomime. The film contained only Adan and Hawa's movements and voices; not a single sound from that unknown presence could be heard!

It was exceedingly strange!

"What's going on?"

They were confused.

Seemingly facing questions from the unknown presence, Adan fearfully defended himself. "Hawa gave me the fruit, so I ate it."

No longer innocent, Adan had unknowingly learned to shift responsibility.

Hawa panicked as well. Her eyes darted about as she instinctively said, "A snake tempted me just now, so I ate it."

Having come to understand good and evil, Hawa had unexpectedly learned to evade responsibility and even lie.

The changes in Adan and Hawa shocked the viewers.

Was this the Fall...?

Then they saw Adan and Hawa looking terrified. "God, we don't want to leave."

They seemed to be facing God's expulsion...

The narration began.

Driven out by the unknown presence called God, Adan and Hawa had no other choice but to leave that carefree land.

The viewers stared blankly at the screen as Adan and Hawa reluctantly walked out of the orchard and headed toward the foot of the mountain.

Had humanity been driven out of the Garden of Eden just like that?

They had already recognized the place. It had to be the legendary Garden of Eden.

Everyone felt somewhat regretful.

Adan and Hawa traveled for a long time before arriving at another small mountain nearby, where they began to settle down.

Time passed. A year went by, and the two had their first child...

Father Charlie and the others watched as the footage began changing rapidly. They did not think much of it, assuming it was normal, until...

Time continued to pass. Two hundred years went by, and the two had nearly a hundred children...

In the blink of an eye, a group of prehistoric humans had appeared on that small mountain...

The viewers were utterly bewildered and shocked.

"What is this?"

Never mind the nearly hundred children—just...

Two hundred years?!

Comments flashed by at high speed.

"Hey, hey, isn't this way too exaggerated?"

"More than two hundred years? Forget the children—could Adam and Eve alone really live that long?!"

"Exactly! This movie has no sense of realism at all. It's way too fake!"

"So it really is just a movie!"

Jiang Xin and several hundred other viewers twitched at the corners of their mouths, speechless at the unscientific scene.

Of course, some people figured out the reason.

"Could this be the effect of the Tree of Life's fruit?"

Hearing that, the others suddenly understood and remembered the other tree they had overlooked.

Yet even as they understood, they felt disappointed.

They had thought this movie was very realistic, but it turned out to be so fake!

At that moment, the footage slowed down, and the time shifted to night.

Everyone also saw what Adan and Hawa looked like after two hundred years. They had only aged somewhat!

However, living a long time did not mean they were happy.

After leaving that carefree land, the two not only suffered from hunger but were also frequently attacked by wild beasts.

Although their bodies had changed after eating the fruit, allowing them to survive hunger and beast attacks, their children were not so fortunate.

If they were unlucky at night, their children would be dragged away by beasts. Their screams made the viewers' scalps tingle.

Adan and Hawa were heartbroken. After trying every possible method and once again witnessing a child die, they made a decision.

One morning, Adan and Hawa gathered everyone together and prepared to hold a grand sacrifice.

"Are they asking God for help?"

Some sharp-minded people immediately thought of that.

Sure enough, the narration sounded in the next second.

Tormented by the cold of night and threatened by wild beasts, Adan and Hawa looked upon one dead child after another and decided to hold a sacrifice to seek God's help, hoping God would show them mercy, descend, and bestow blessings upon them.

Led by Adan and Hawa, they found an open space in the mountains. Then, with the whole group, they knelt on the ground and began praying to the sky.

"Oh, God..."

Adan cried out.

But just as the viewers were curious about what the mysterious "God" really was and whether He would respond and descend...

The screen suddenly went black, and the movie... ended!

The viewers were stunned. Even though the movie had shown something as unscientific as people living for centuries, its realism had still deeply drawn them in.

So when they saw that the movie was gone, they immediately began cursing.

"What the hell? That's it?"

"What a rip-off! What happened next?"

"It ended at the crucial moment? Why is it so damn short? Bastards!"

"My God, where is this production company? I'm going to file a complaint and protest!"

"Fuck!"

The comments section completely erupted. People began hurling insults, and even Father Charlie, who had been watching with utmost seriousness, furrowed his brows, feeling that the movie company had gone too far.

One viewer worriedly commented, "This movie isn't really ending like this, is it?"

Someone refuted them. "The story obviously isn't finished! There must be more later!"

"Agreed!"

It was eight in the evening. Having finished the nearly two-hour movie, the viewers cursed while remaining energized. Wanting to share it—and make others suffer with them—they began enthusiastically recommending Origin Net.

One person told ten, ten told a hundred, and gradually more and more people around the world noticed this unremarkable website. Curious, they clicked in and started watching.

Their experiences were much the same as the other viewers'. Besides wondering what that mysterious God was, they were more amazed by the movie's realism and cursed its abrupt ending.

As more people entered, some also noticed that there was something unusual about the website.

For instance, people all over the world could access it, ignoring the internet barriers between countries!

Moreover, the website could automatically translate languages, allowing people from every country to watch and communicate without obstacles!

If that were all, people would at most marvel at the translation software and sigh at the advanced technology.

But... as the Prehistoric Ruins reached the top of the trending charts, more and more people learned of it. Someone noticed that the movie's final scene bore a shocking resemblance to the final mural in the Prehistoric Ruins!

That was terrifying!

Eleven at night.

Inside a newly erected large tent at the temporary camp near the Prehistoric Ruins, the white-haired Professor Chen was reviewing documents.

"Professor! Professor!"

A shout came from outside.

Professor Chen, who had been bent over ancient texts in hopes of finding clues about the Prehistoric Ruins, frowned upon hearing it.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

Zhang Hao ran in with a laptop in his arms and urgently handed it over.

"Professor, look at this!"

Professor Chen focused his gaze on it. The laptop was playing a scene of Adan and Hawa leading a group of people in a sacrifice.

"This is..."

Professor Chen was initially puzzled, but then astonishment flashed through his eyes.

This scene was incredibly similar to the one depicted in the third Prehistoric Mural!

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, the third mural contained two leaders, one male and one female in appearance.

Some of the sacrificial arrangements in the Prehistoric Mural also corresponded one by one with the video before him!

"What is this?!"

A cry of shock rang out.
