What Exactly Is God?

What Exactly Is God

"Professor, this is a movie from a website called Origin Net."

Zhang Hao went on to explain everything in detail. After hearing the full story, Professor Chen fell into deep thought.

"A coincidence?"

No amount of thinking could compare to watching the movie himself. With a grave expression, he dragged the progress bar back to the beginning and started watching.

At that moment, several people who had come in after hearing Zhang Hao's cry of surprise also stood behind him curiously and watched along.

"This movie looks so realistic!"

They were immediately amazed.

When the names Adan and Hawa appeared, the others were still puzzled, but Professor Chen, a prehistoric archaeologist, recognized them before anyone else.

"Adam and Eve?" he said in surprise.

The appearance of the Garden of Eden astonished them even more, especially those two strange fruit trees. They could not tell that they had been computer-generated.

"Professor, why do these trees grow so strangely?" Yu Rui, a young man standing behind Professor Chen, asked.

"These should be the Tree of Life and the Tree of Wisdom..." Professor Chen answered.

When they watched the two eat the Forbidden Fruit, the unknown being mentioned in the narration afterward—God—left them deeply puzzled.

What exactly was the god in this movie?

After that, they watched Adan and Hawa move to another mountaintop. They watched the two live for more than two hundred years and have nearly a hundred children. Almost everyone present shook their heads.

Like the others, they had initially been moved by the movie's realism, but now they abruptly felt pulled out of the story.

"Professor, this is way too fake. How could people possibly live that long?" Ye Ying, youthful and pretty, pouted.

Professor Chen frowned slightly as well, but as he thought about it, he suddenly recalled something and did not dismiss it immediately.

At that moment, Origin Net's comment section erupted into an argument over whether humans could truly live that long.

Professor Chen paused the movie, and he and the others turned their attention to the comments.

A netizen named Naming Is Really Hard commented, "This movie is so unrealistic. What a waste of such excellent visuals."

"Exactly! It had such a strong sense of realism and history at first, then it all vanished in an instant. It's way too fantastical!"

"Agreed..."

Whether intentional or not, malicious comments disparaging the movie rapidly began flooding the screen.

Professor Chen frowned and moved his fingers, preparing to type something.

But someone spoke before him.

Brave Niu Niu: "I don't know what you all think, but how do you know it's impossible?"

"Let me explain. Over this period, I looked through some materials and found some very interesting things."

"In the Western Bible, it is clearly recorded that Adam, Eve, and their children were all exceptionally long-lived. Living eight or nine hundred years was easy! And it wasn't only in the West—there were even similar records in our East!"

"According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there was a place in ancient Eastern times called the Xuanyuan Kingdom..."

"The Xuanyuan Kingdom lies by Qiong Mountain. Even those not long-lived live to be eight hundred years old. It is north of the Women's Kingdom. Its people have human faces and snake bodies, their tails intertwined above their heads."

"In other words, the Xuanyuan Kingdom was near Qiong Mountain. Even the people here who were not considered long-lived could live for eight hundred years. They were north of the Women's Kingdom, with human faces, snake bodies, and tails coiled above their heads."

"Doesn't that sound very similar to the half-human, half-snake image of Fuxi and Nuwa from legend? I suspect that the Xuanyuan Kingdom was the place in this movie, and those citizens were the children of Eve and Adan!"

As this long comment appeared, tens of millions of netizens carefully read it, and shock spread across their faces.

Zhang Hao and the others were equally astonished.

However, Naming Is Really Hard quickly spoke up again to refute it.

"Are you kidding? Fuxi and Nuwa were clearly half-human and half-snake, but Adan and Hawa in this movie look completely normal! How do you explain that?"

The netizens were all puzzled.

Brave Niu Niu: "Hmph. Ancient people did not necessarily view things the same way we do. A snake might not literally mean a snake. It could refer to a similar appearance, or symbolize something else."

"Take the image of Fuxi and Nuwa's entwined double tails. Doesn't it look a lot like our modern DNA double helix structure?"

As soon as that claim appeared, the netizens fell silent, amazed by Brave Niu Niu's breadth of knowledge.

But upon closer thought, it really did look remarkably similar!

And Huaxia people were also known as descendants of the dragon...

The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

"The source of everything, as this movie has shown us, was related to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden—the tree of God."

"Let's put aside that mysterious God for now and talk about that mountain and the Tree of Life!"

Brave Niu Niu continued, revealing something even more chilling.

"Everyone already knows that the first great mountain was the Garden of Eden, right?"

"And according to the Bible, the Garden of Eden was surrounded by four rivers. At the beginning of the movie, everyone saw the rough scenery of that mountain from the sky, and it was no different from the Bible's description."

"What I want to point out is that the Classic of Mountains and Seas also recorded a place: the Abode of Gods! It was Kunlun Mountain!"

"According to ancient texts, Kunlun Mountain was also surrounded by exactly four rivers!"

"In the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Life extended human lifespan, while there was a Forbidden Fruit that humans were forbidden to eat. Kunlun Mountain also had something that extended human life and was forbidden for people to eat freely. That was..."

"Pantaos!"

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"Gasp..."

The netizens all sucked in cold breaths, utterly shaken.

The Garden of Eden was Kunlun Mountain?

Another terrifying thought—could a divine mountain truly have existed in prehistoric times?

"In the end, we have to raise one question. Was what this movie showed real or fake?"

"Not only was it abnormally realistic, but even the movie's final scene looked extremely similar to the prehistoric ruins murals we recently excavated! Was all of this really a coincidence?"

"The final question is this: if it was real, what exactly were the prehistoric humans worshipping at the end of the movie? And what exactly was that god?"

"Aliens? Or did gods truly exist?"

The netizens could not help falling into contemplation. The more they recalled the mysterious god in the movie, the more frightened they became, until their scalps tingled.

"Were humans really created by God?"

"Was there really an Omniscient and Omnipotent God watching humanity?"

The netizens were stunned. Even Professor Chen and the others were somewhat dazed.

If the events in the movie had truly occurred in prehistoric times, then the origin of humanity's birth seemed to have an explanation as well.

Creationism?

"I created humanity? And I've been watching them all this time?"

Su Qi's mouth twitched. "No, I haven't?"

What kind of imaginations did these netizens have? They were making even him start to believe it.

Leaving aside the fact that the simulation could not possibly become reality, Adan and Hawa had not been created by him either. Even the Garden of Eden was merely a mountain surrounded by four rivers that he had picked at random after recalling the Bible he had once read.

People were simply overthinking it!

Though those two strange trees...

Thinking of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Wisdom, Su Qi frowned.

In the Simulation World, his physical form had been somewhat unusual. Since he often stayed on the mountaintop, the two trees seemed to have mutated under the influence of the radiation, magnetic field, and other effects surrounding him.

After discovering this, he had later tried planting some other fruit trees to see whether they could be affected and mutate as well. The result disappointed him; they had not changed as he hoped.

It seemed that, like the system's ability, the world possessed countless possibilities every moment, and the birth of those two trees was one such possibility.

He had not continued researching them afterward, because the two fruits were useless to his high-dimensional body and could not be brought into reality...

Wait!

Su Qi's eyes lit up. "I've never tried it, so how do I know they can't be brought out?"

An idea instantly surfaced in his mind, and he decided to test it during the next simulation!

If it really worked, he would strike it rich. Perhaps they might even have some effect on his cancer!

As he thought, he remembered something strange.

"Were those prehistoric murals really just a coincidence?"

Su Qi recalled Adan, Hawa, and the others before the last simulation ended, praying for him to descend and bestow blessings upon them.

While Su Qi waited for the next simulation, Origin Net also caused huge waves throughout society.

Some people became so obsessed after watching it that they actually went to Kunlun Mountain and began searching for the Tree of Life and the Tree of Wisdom!

After all, immortality and wisdom were things humanity had always dreamed of. Even if there was only the slightest possibility that they truly existed, it was worth taking action!

Soon, it was past eight in the morning, and the simulation cooldown had refreshed.
