Chapter 1904: Gods Exist
In the instant this scene appeared, the entire livestream fell silent.
The疯狂刷屏弹幕 that had been flying moments ago suddenly went blank, as if all the viewers had been stunned by what they witnessed, frozen in place.
On screen, only the howling of wind and waves, along with rolling thunder, overlapped and echoed.
"Is... a giant?" the reporter murmured to himself. "No, not entirely giants... some of them are about the same size as us..."
"Do you guys feel like... you can't breathe?" A crew member stared at those thirteen crosses, breathing heavily, his eyes full of terror and fear.
"Yes, it feels like someone put a rock on my chest."
"My legs feel a bit weak too..."
"Don't look! Don't look at them! Those are the corpses on the crosses. I don't know why, but just looking at them gives you this inexplicable pressure." The reporter came back to his senses, repeatedly saying "don't look," even swinging the camera away.
The moment the view shifted, all the viewers watching the screen suddenly relaxed from their tense state, as if a weight had been lifted from their hearts.
The next moment, an explosive amount of 弹幕疯狂增长!
【卧槽卧槽卧槽！！！What did I just see?！！！】
【Did anyone get a screenshot? I was completely zoned out just now, didn't see anything clearly...】
【I saw it clearly. Most of them have Western appearances, and their body sizes are way larger than normal people... Are they giants?】
【No! They're gods!! Absolutely gods!! Did you see the one second from the right? The one with Greek features, black and blue beard and hair, with eyebrows that joined together?! He looks exactly like Poseidon, the sea god recorded in Greek mythology!】
【Poseidon? Isn't that just a myth? How could it possibly exist... Stop joking around】
【Joking? Did you forget about that Six-Winged Seraph? I've always believed that the existence of gods was never fabricated by human imagination! Those deities are real!】
【This is too absurd, completely absurd... This expedition team must be some kind of VFX crew, trying to gain traffic this way, right?】
【I can't take it anymore! Listen, everyone, this world really does have things we can't understand... A few years back, I encountered something. I was driving on a winding mountain road when a four-meter-tall monster suddenly rushed out! Later, some mysterious people in dark red cloaks suddenly appeared and killed that monster in a few moves; then they said something about how there was only one witness, and they had to use that Forbidden Ruins item... They later made me sign a non-disclosure agreement, saying it was a radiation-mutated brown bear sighting, not letting me tell anyone, or I'd face five years in prison... I'm done, I'm deleting my account and running after posting this!】
【Have you guys ever thought about it—if these people on the crosses are really gods... then who killed them?】
【Right, and looking at their postures, it seems like they were confessing their sins while facing Great Xia's direction??】
【Was it that Six-Winged Seraph from that day?】
【They've all been nailed to our military base! It must have been Great Xia that did this! I'm telling you, there must be someone secretly protecting us for Great Xia to survive the Mist all those years ago!!!】
【When it was lightning earlier, I saw what looked like a flag by the wall... with a starry sky and two swords drawn on it?】
【I saw it too! I even took a screenshot!】
【...】
Glancing at the densely packed 弹幕 beside him, Lin Qiye's eyebrows rose slightly as he put down his phone.
"This... was arranged by you?" He looked at Shen Qingzhu, surprised.
"No. Didn't you say to let things take their natural course?" Shen Qingzhu shook his head. "I only ordered the lifting of online public opinion restrictions and opened all border airspace... I thought it would take them some time to find the war fortification, but I didn't expect them to head in that direction."
Lin Qiye nodded slightly. "Good. Having the public psychologically prepared in this way is also beneficial for us."
"So, when you wanted to keep all the Hunt God Plan achievements and the bodies of the four Chief Gods after the fall of Olympus at Sunken Dragon Pass, you didn't already foresee this day, did you?" Shen Qingzhu asked rhetorically.
"Of course not. I'm not prescient."
Lin Qiye couldn't help but laugh. "I left those divine corpses there because I had other uses for them later..."
Shen Qingzhu nodded thoughtfully.
"So, you came to me just to show me this?"
"Not just that." Shen Qingzhu pointed at the phone. "What you were watching was the footage from five minutes ago. That ship is still waiting for rescue near Sunken Dragon Pass... I came to ask you how to handle this situation."
Lin Qiye lowered his head in thought for a moment. "Today, which Human Apex is stationed at Sunken Dragon Pass?"
"Wu Quan."
"Alright... I'll give him a call."
Lin Qiye took out his phone, dialed a number, gave Wu Quan some instructions, then hung up.
"Done. The matter is resolved."
...
At this moment.
Outside Sunken Dragon Pass.
Between the howling wind and waves, a lone exploration vessel still struggled near the outer wall of the fortification.
"Captain, they still haven't responded..." One of the crew members couldn't help but speak up. "Do they not want to let us in? Or is this place really abandoned?"
"This military base is so huge, there must be many secrets here. They wouldn't let us in casually..." The captain sighed. "Perhaps we can only hope for the best..."
The hull groaned under the battering of wind and waves, and despair flickered in everyone's eyes.
"Look! Is that someone walking out up there?"
Just then, a crew member pointed to the top of the outer wall.
The camera immediately tilted upward. Beneath the dark thunderclouds, a figure walked to the edge of the outer wall, as if looking down at them. However, due to the distance and blurry image quality, the person's features were completely unreadable. Only a dark red cloak fluttered in the fierce wind.
"What a nuisance..." Wu Quan glanced at the vessel below and spoke indifferently.
A glint appeared in his eyes. He raised his right hand and casually pointed toward the lightning-scorched sky.
"Disperse."
Whoooosh—!!
Above Sunken Dragon Pass, the densely packed dark clouds were as if pierced through by something, instantly breaking open a large hole. Then a burst of light swept across the sky, and the clouds and fierce winds within a hundred li suddenly froze still. The churning waves instantly returned to calm!
Bright sunlight poured down onto the sea's surface. The surrounding waters were as if pressed flat by a giant hand, not a single ripple rising. The exploration vessel floated steadily on the sea, as if sailing on an enormous mirror!
Everyone on the ship stared in shock, their eyes wide with astonishment as they looked around, as if in a dream.
Within the livestream, the疯狂刷屏弹幕 quieted down once more.
When everyone came to their senses and looked back toward the outer wall, that dark red figure had already vanished without a trace...
