The release of " The A Person on the Immortal Path" was within the acceptable range for the general public.
Then, Toward Immortal Civilization appeared on major TV stations and online platforms during prime time that afternoon.
The entire Great Xia was set ablaze.
As night falls.
Countless people waited in front of their screens for the premiere of " Toward Immortal Civilization ".
At 8:00 sharp, the opening sequence silently lit up.
There were no fancy special effects, no elaborate opening theme, just a line of black text on a white background.
"Some parts of this drama are adapted from true events."
The live chat exploded instantly.
"???"
What constitutes a "real event"?!
"Don't scare me, official!"
But soon, no one posted any more comments.
Because the story has already begun.
Unlike movies, TV series have a more delicate and slower narrative, but they are also more... realistic.
It felt incredibly real.
It began on the day Lu Li crossed over.
It meticulously depicts his first communication with the Great Xia, the first time he sent back spiritual materials, and his first attempt at cultivation.
When the scene shifts to Blue Star, viewers see an unfamiliar department.
Bureau 749.
A gray and white corridor, busy researchers, flickering screens.
" Bureau 749... does this department really exist?"
Someone asked in the live chat.
No one answered; the plot had reached its most crucial moment.
The resurgence of spiritual transformations is now public.
In the video, an elderly man stands on the podium, his voice steady and powerful.
"Through long-term and rigorous scientific observation, we have confirmed that the global concentration of Spiritual Qi is steadily increasing."
This means that the legendary cultivation practice will become a reality.
Immediately afterwards, lines of file numbers scrolled down the bottom of the screen.
Eagle-eyed netizens immediately took screenshots, zoomed in, and confirmed the information.
"Holy crap! This file number is actually real?! I even saw it back then!"
"Wait, wait, wait, so that press conference back then..."
"That's right! Didn't the opening of the TV series say that this happened decades ago?"
The comments section completely spiraled out of control.
The story continues.
Lu Li struggled in the outer sect, refining pills, forging weapons, and giving back to the Great Xia.
On Blue Star, the Cultivation Administration was established, Spirit Root were tested, veterans were selected, and universities issued cultivation guidelines.
The two storylines intertwine and unfold seamlessly, creating a realism that sends chills down your spine.
After watching the first few episodes, the official website and forums were completely overwhelmed.
"I'm dumbfounded, is this a TV series or a documentary??"
"Did you notice? The document numbers, meeting minutes, Perfected Person titles all match reality!"
"My mom just asked me if our family received that Self-Cultivation Outline back in the day?"
"Case solved, brothers! The source of the Spiritual Qi revival has been identified. Bureau 749 is real, Lu Li... should be real too!"
"So, is there really someone in Great Xia fighting alone in the cultivation Immortal Realm? Just to send us resources??"
"Stop talking, I can't hold back my tears anymore..."
Most netizens speak freely online with the intention of joining in the fun.
People had mixed feelings; some were nervous, while others thought it was all a fantasy.
A small minority firmly believe this is true.
Most people are still basically just using the memes.
"I understand. The government is making a documentary, but they're afraid we won't accept it, so they're pretending it's a TV series."
"I suggest renaming it 'Sixty Years of the Great Xia Spiritual Transformation and Revival: My Undercover Mission in the Immortal Cultivation Immortal Realm.'"
What's the preview for the next episode?
"I want to see Lu Li reach the Nascent Soul stage! Quickly! Immediately! Right now!"
Amidst the clamor, one comment rose to the top of the trending comments:
"If all of this is true... then Comrade Lu Li, thank you for your hard work."
The accompanying image is a screenshot.
In the scene, Lu Li stands on the ruins of another world, gazing into the distance.
His silhouette was lonely, yet as upright as a pine tree.
The premieres of "A Person on the Immortal Path" and "Toward Immortal Civilization" were huge successes.
Regardless of what the public thinks.
It undoubtedly ranks first in popularity across the entire internet.
It ranks first in the country and even globally.
The translation team has never been this fast.
Simultaneously translated for nearly two hundred countries.
Numerous film critics and bloggers have provided insightful interpretations.
Bureau 749, Li Qingshan's office.
The secretary stood at the desk, speaking rapidly and clearly:
" Director Li, the premiere data is in."
"The film ' On the A Person on the Immortal Path ' grossed over 2.5 billion yuan on its opening day, breaking the global film history record."
"The first four episodes of ' Toward Immortal Civilization ' have accumulated over four billion views across the internet, ranking first in terms of discussion popularity."
"Regarding public opinion, the opening sequence featuring a true story sparked widespread discussion."
"Mainstream opinions fall into three categories, with about 30% of the public firmly believing the storyline is true."
"Fifty percent of the public are taking a wait-and-see approach, believing that the government is gradually releasing information."
"The remaining 20% are mainly jokes and memes, but their popularity continues to rise."
"On the international front, the translation team simultaneously translated content from nearly two hundred countries and regions, occupying seven of the top ten spots on the trending topics list."
Li Qingshan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Hearing the reports behind me, I was far from calm.
It's almost here. After nearly sixty years of spiritual transformation and revival, Lu Li's existence will soon be announced to the world.
Soon, people all over the world will know the true existence of Lu Li and the Imprisoned Dragon Realm.
He dared not imagine what kind of upheaval would occur in the Great Xia.
When another real Immortal Realm of cultivation appears in the public eye.
What should ordinary people do?
The development of the Great Xia Dynasty in the sixty years of the Lingbian era was already extremely rapid.
Especially in the last five years, the development of Great Xia has been so rapid that even he finds it exaggerated.
Aside from the fact that offensive Law Artifact were not widely available to the general public.
Spirit Cuisine, Cultivation Method, and civilian Law Artifact have long permeated the lives of the Great Xia.
In order to maintain harmony and cohesion between monks and ordinary people.
Great Xia did countless tasks.
Even the interoperability of the two currency systems was intended to help ordinary people keep up with the times.
Even in such a concerted effort to maintain harmony, some friction is inevitable.
The Spirit Root rate in Great Xia is one percent.
One in a hundred people is a monk.
The Great Xia could not abandon the needs of its ninety-nine people for the sake of one cultivator.
But now, a real world that treats mortals like ants has appeared on Blue Star.
Even he didn't know what the consequences would be.
Looking down at the command center that never sleeps.
Li Qingshan took a deep breath, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Times are changing, and neither he nor the Great Xia can do anything but...
"Accelerate."
"The broadcast schedule for subsequent episodes will be shortened, with all episodes released within a week."
"Accelerate the progress of the disclosure."
"Also, notify the Education and Publicity Departments."
Li Qingshan turned around, his gaze falling on the huge map of cultivation academies on the wall.
"Starting today, a series of lectures on the new era's spiritual practice will be offered at spiritual academies, government agencies, organizations, and enterprises across the country."
He lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, putting into practice the plan he had prepared long ago.
Various spiritual institutions and organizations will explain the dialectical relationship between personal spiritual practice and the rise and fall of the nation.
Furthermore, it analyzes how hard-won the achievements of the contemporary Great Xia cultivation civilization were.
Li Qingshan gazed out the window, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Everyone should know that in another world, there is a compatriot... who has stood up for us for sixty years!"
