"What's that?"

"A mirage?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

And Zhang Xia was one of them.

He was showing affection with his girlfriend on the street outside the school, and they both looked up at the sky.

"What the hell? What is this thing in the sky, a holographic projection? Damn! Honey, come see this high-tech stuff." Zhang Xia called to his girlfriend while complaining.

If it weren't for Professor Zeng Ciwen's pioneering biological era, the holographic projection virtual reality game "The World" would have seemed too absurd. After having experienced it once before, he now thought it might be extraterrestrial technology.

But...

But...

It's just outrageous, okay!

It's getting more and more ridiculous.

Zhang Xia was both excited and speechless, feeling fortunate to live in an era of technological explosion.

Zhang Xia looked down, hearing the continuous dinging in the chat group, and opened it to have a look.

"Could it be 'The World' game promotional video?"

"Big production!"

"Whoa!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going back to become an Immortal Herb and practice immortality! This is a cultivation game. As long as I work hard enough, do 996 hours of work a day, provide enough energy, the strong bosses inside will drive BMWs, marry beautiful women, and reach the pinnacle of life!"

...

A bunch of idiots in the group.

Zhang Xia cursed under his breath and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Goodness, what kind of holographic projection is this?

At first, he thought it was a pilot program near his Mountain City University, and who knew, once he got online, the whole province could see it?

He browsed the forum for information, and people were in chaos, finding out that it was mainly in West Gorge Province where they were, and other nearby provinces also saw it, but it was very blurry.

Zhang Xia hesitated for a few seconds, then nonchalantly said to his girlfriend, "Let's find a milk tea shop by the road and sit down to watch the movie."

"Okay." His girlfriend was just as unconcerned.

They sat down and began enjoying the war scenes in the sky while watching the forum discussions.

The grand production in the sky was terrifying.

That scene, the sense of realism in the mechanical army, every detail was of epic-scale blockbuster super quality, as if it was another alien planet.

"Oh my, that super spider is amazing, wait, the expressions of the Magnetic Energy Soldiers below, they're Emperor Level, right? The performance shows such fear, anticipation, fear, truly remarkable."

Zhang Xia was full of amazement, "Amazing! As expected of 'The World,' such personified AI was already demonstrated in the scenes of Shiguang's country, back when Emperor Shiguang's dying gaze was astonishing."

His expression became more and more excited.

This "The World" is indeed an official super epoch-making technological production, so high-end, this promotional video came out quietly.

And an entire province saw it. He boldly speculated that it was probably a new type of satellite projection technology or something, projecting from the sky like a curtain, achieving such an exaggerated feat.

And quickly an official emergency announcement appeared online.

"This is our new promotional video."

Very brief, barely an explanation.

After all, cleaning up after Zhu Zhengwei was indeed too much trouble.

They didn't even know what happened, only could make an emergency placation.

Seeing the official acknowledgment, everyone online breathed a sigh of relief, and various people were already discussing.

"Whoa! This massive production, the level of power, is so high, higher than any war we encountered before, after all, these times of Shiguang's country were just planetary Mortal Dynasty changes, it's an interstellar war now!"

"Honestly, I'm really stunned."

"Hehehe, everyone, see that big spider? Ridiculous! You probably don't know, I feel it's using Lorentz Force, performing unimaginable Magnetic Cutting, and it's fantastic! Exceeding human modern technology by over 500 years!"

"I don't get it, I'm a poor student."

"Don't listen to the bragging above, that big spider is awesome, period. Did you see those mechanical magnetic energy armors below, some broken structures fell, some of which, I, who am in the electromagnetic mechanical field, tell you, perfectly match real constructs, even some I can't understand."

Everyone was discussing.

Seeing this, Zhang Xia was bewildered, the technology inside, made it seem real.

Ignorantly impressed.

What on earth was this divine battle scene?

Zhang Xia was puzzled, but the next moment, he saw a post come up, whose plot made everyone's worldview take a turn.

"Risking Life to Reveal the Truth: Earth's Doom, Pictures in the Sky Might Imply an Intergalactic High-Level Civilization Preparing to Invade Earth!"

This post made Zhang Xia's eyes narrow.

But he soon dismissed it, and said to his girlfriend beside him, "Look! Another fool trying to catch attention, there are too many lately, various conspiracy theories."

As he spoke, he kept reading and was shocked.

"First of all, when posting this, I don't care about my own life anymore. I think some things must be made clear to the world, can't be hidden any longer."

"'The World' is not a game, everything inside is real!"

"The planets, civilizations, systems inside all truly exist in the universe. I don't know the truth of 'The World,' but I guess 'The World' is just a guise, inside, it might be some kind of alien portal."

"You all might not know, a while back, the nation secretly gathered elite talents from various fields to write a thesis possibly related to alien civilization invasion."

"And I was precisely part of the unselected batch."

"There were vague revelations that a top alien civilization, due to their own planet's destruction making it uninhabitable, started searching for other habitable planets, already having seen signals emitted by Earth long ago, currently on the way."

"Our Earth is about to be destroyed."

"As for the current Science Fiction World screen, I don't know what's going on, but it might really be the image of this civilization's planet on its way to Earth."

"Why am I guessing this way?"

"There are three reasons."

"First, according to insider information, this invading alien civilization is similar to our Earthly civilization in life form, civilization type! What we see matches, human form, even tech machinery, haven't left our range of understanding."

"Second, look at this planet's environment and scene, clearly a world turned to ruins, full of factories and exhaust, uninhabitable, also possibly the reason for their migration due to some existing war."

"Third, and most importantly, see that? The layout and position of the stars in this planet's sky, shockingly, they can see our Milky Way from their sky!"

"Those who disbelieve, just check the star charts and you'll see, easily finding the location of this planet, probably around the Large Magellanic Cloud next door, not too far from us."

"If I'm not mistaken, the war scene we're seeing is a past segment, the reason for this civilization's destruction and migration... I boldly predict, the civilization in the screen soon loses, then forced into the cosmos."

"Now, they've finally discovered us on Earth, on their way here."

"It seems like our counter plan is to make a deal with some advanced civilization, allowing us to send a hundred scientists to mix into the enemy's interior."

"Lastly, dear human friends, enjoy our last 21st century."

"Enjoy the remaining moments with your family."

"The Third World War is coming, and this time, it will exceed our imagination."

Whoa.

After reading, even a carefree Zhang Xia, seeing this exposé post, with its strangely chilling description, all logical segments, only felt goosebumps rising, taking a deep breath, a rush of urgency prompting him to find a restroom quickly.

"Damn, this conspiracy theory post has some depth, scared me cold in the pants."
