110: Chapter 110: A Comprehensive Online Analysis: Does the Simulation of Gods Exist?

After a long time, Xiao Yu finally turned off the livestream, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and forced herself to calm down.

After several hours of information bombardment and cognitive shattering, her puppy brain was a bit overloaded at this moment.

She curled up on her side on the sofa, clutching a throw pillow, and stared at the silent night outside, murmuring to herself:

"I feel like my world is no longer clean."

She had never felt this way before, even when her brother talked about the tui bei tu, the zero-point field, the akashic records...

At most, she thought it was magical yet somewhat scientific.

It wasn't until today's several hours of cognitive bombardment that she realized—how many unknown secrets were hidden within the materialist world!

Although the livestream room was closed, the aftershocks of the broadcast were still fermenting.

"Huh? Why am I smoking too?"

Feeling her body getting a bit hot, she raised her arm; under the light, her arm was indeed smoking!

"Brother!!!"

"Spiritual energy has recovered, and I've mutated again!"

She jumped up in fright and slammed straight into the ceiling!

...

Gusu, Dougou Platform, Operations Department.

Wang Shulin looked at the final data on the backend and couldn't help but exhale deeply.

Peak concurrent users: 6.27 million!

Average watch time: 147 minutes!

Today's donation amount: 608,000 yuan

Total bullet comments: Over 2.1 million!

New followers: 410,000.

He didn't feel much joy looking at the data; instead, he felt a bit heavy.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Zhe's supplementary lesson was quite long, causing him to become completely immersed, and his cognition was gradually shattering.

The popularity was there, but who knew if people would start stirring up trouble later because of today's cognition-overturning lesson...

He quietly pulled up today's recorded clips, watching Jiang Zhe calmly talk about the clay tablets and the photos of the blue planet...

"The tenth planet, ancient gene-editing technology..." He subconsciously lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair, staring at the night outside the floor-to-ceiling window. "This Jiang Zhe's range of knowledge is simply too broad, isn't it?"

...

After the livestream ended, every corner of the internet was filled with Jiang Zhe's livestream clips and hot news discussions.

Weibo and Zhihu were also quickly occupied by tonight's theme.

[A Terrifying New Interpretation of Humans Created from Yellow Soil!]

[Sumerian Clay Tablets: Gene-Editing Technology of the Ancient Era!]

[Fuxi and Nüwa's Intertwined Tails are Actually a Double Helix?]

[Melancholy: Our Ancestors Might Have Been Tools!]

[...]

Almost all the content Jiang Zhe spoke about occupied the top 20, but strangely—as if the authorities intended it—none of the news made it into the top ten, no matter how much the popularity grew, as if it were being controlled.

Even so, the night owls who loved to see follow-up analyses from experts popped their heads out one after another, discussing it in full swing!

[Zhihu]: How to rationally view the startling hypothesis from a certain livestream room about humans created from yellow soil being an operation on egg cells?

PhD in Life Sciences from Dabei University:

"Setting aside the truth or falsehood for a moment, the degree of fit in this association is terrifyingly high; the color of mammalian egg cells is indeed related to pale yellow and amber."

"If there existed an advanced civilization that needed to explain 'creation' to primitive humans..."

"According to what Xiaoyu's brother said before the livestream, using the yellow Blood of the Earth as the basic material for shaping; simplified, it becomes [Humans Created from Yellow Soil]."

"This is almost an inevitable choice of narrative; his explanation brings about an unsettling possibility."

"Moreover, myths worldwide have humans created from yellow soil, and the materials are highly consistent: [Yellow Soil]; perhaps this is the specific factual process of 'how the heavenly gods created humans' as understood by global tribal people before the ancient agricultural civilizations."

"Finally, with the appearance of the Great Flood, perhaps real history turned into myth. It's very easy to sort out!"

[The expert's explanation upstairs is very authentic. Global myths all have humans created from yellow soil. Maybe this is the truth of ancient secrets!]

[It's terrifying to think about. I didn't expect Xiaoyu's brother to associate it with this level. I'm directly kneeling!]

[...]

The second most-upvoted answer: "Nüwa molding clay, the focus of the action is molding; that means a fine operation, not a child playing with mud. Thinking about it carefully, my scalp feels numb—because the action of molding... is using hands to manipulate the [Blood of the Earth]. Simplified, it's: Nüwa used a 3D projection to mold the [Soil of the Earth] zygote on the projection—it's exactly like a scientist modifying a zygote."

[Upstairs, you scared me. Pay up!]

[Holy crap, Xiaoyu's brother's interpretation leaves room for imagination; but you freaking destroyed that imagination. You're telling me Nüwa was an engineer who used a projection method to modify the zygote data of humans and gods?]

[Ten parts impressive, even nine parts exaggerated!]

...

On the Weibo side, the 15th trending topic: Humans Have No Transitional Species.

High school student Zhang Yu: "Finished watching the livestream. Our teacher, Old Chen, was so scared he asked us to walk him back to his dorm. Also, the teacher said the gradual transition diagram from apes to humans is fake; he said it's a representation, not a chain of evidence. If Homo sapiens suddenly appeared online, then Darwin's coffin lid was probably kicked over by Xiaoyu's brother today."

Paleontology enthusiast: "I was also in the livestream room and couldn't speak the whole time. The 'missing link' he mentioned is currently defaulted by the paleontological community as 'not found,' but he directly implied to Xiao Yu that it 'doesn't exist.' Looking at it in combination with the later divine-transmitted knowledge and the explosion of civilization... there is a possibility that we didn't evolve from apes."

Occult enthusiast: "This is so freaking cool. The live broadcast gave me goosebumps the whole time. Love it, want more!"

14th trending topic: Fuxi and Nüwa DNA?

Passing True Masked Rider: "He's talking absolute nonsense. What 'intertwined twin snakes'? That was ancient snake worship; snakes symbolize reproduction and immortality. He just had to interpret it as double-helix DNA. His intentions are malicious!"

Stomp You on Behalf of the Moon: "You're the one talking nonsense upstairs. Do you know that myths in most countries around the world involve humans created from yellow soil? Could it be that ancient people made up a fantasy story to deceive us descendants—'Look, we humans are made of yellow soil'? Do you think ancient people were idiots, or are you the idiot?"

Loving Someone is Hard: "I personally feel that when the ancient tribal people were watching Nüwa and the others design a new human race, because the tribal people couldn't understand the double-helix DNA lines in the 3D projection, they replaced it with two intertwined snakes."

"As expected of the comment section, I have to believe it!"

13th trending topic: Are the Sumerian Clay Tablets Real or Fake!

"No need to look, they're definitely fake, just a gimmick!"

"Agreed, must be fake. If they were real, wouldn't the world's archaeologists have gone crazy long ago?"

"But I feel they're very real!"

History science blogger Gou Dongxi from a certain site: "Upstairs, no need to argue. Indeed, many people think Sumerian history is pseudo-history, but in reality, its clay tablet records are so detailed they make us industry insiders' scalps tingle. Especially in the 'epic of atrahasis,' where humans were created to do the dirty and tiring work for the gods; the steps are as clear as a project plan. And the tablet recording cataract surgery and the divine creation of humans was indeed unearthed before 1930. It's also exactly as Xiaoyu's brother said: test-tube babies came decades after the tablets were unearthed. This time gap is the evidence worth fearing!"

"Hiss~~ I freaking won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Expert Gou Dongxi, what's the difference between animals perceiving death and humans perceiving death?"

"Expert Gou Dongxi, and that part about animals not fearing death while humans do; how should we understand those?"

[Gou Dongxi says: This is hard to say. The structure of Homo sapiens is basically the same as those creatures; the difference lies in the developmental dimension of the brain. Note that it's dimension, not degree. Although what Xiaoyu's brother said is very frightening, in reality, it belongs to the field of 'biological philosophy.' You can understand it as—the human brain has a lot of complex information; the dimension is higher; it's easier to understand abstract things—simply put, humans are good at philosophical speculation. Meanwhile, animals only have the basic survival needs of Maslow's bottom layer: eating, drinking, sleeping, reproducing, and that's it. To answer the question, animals understand death, while humans do not understand, fear, and worry about death—what Xiaoyu's brother said is correct.]

[Just like the bullet comment sent by Dr. Zhou Ming in the livestream room: Koko the gorilla understands death, while humans do not. Dr. Zhou has already indirectly proven the truth of what Xiaoyu's brother said.]

Hearing the expert's secondary analysis, the netizens once again fell into deep thought.

Many people began their late-night EMO!

"Expert Gou Dongxi, if humans hadn't gone through the [Lulu] tool phase, would we be developing very, very slowly now, or maybe even still be in the tribal era?"

[Gou Dongxi says: Yes, if we hadn't undergone modification, we would still be in the tribal era, surviving by hunting every day. But the premise is that humans created from yellow soil—is indeed the product of an advanced civilization taking the yellow-colored eggs of apes and combining them with the DNA of the gods themselves. Like the tool human 'Lulu' you mentioned; we might all be descendants of the Lulu tool humans—provided the myths are true!]

"Hiss~~"

Some things Jiang Zhe didn't talk about were instead picked up by other bloggers who were riding the coattails of the trend, gaining secondary popularity.

At the same time, it made even more netizens realize how high the gold content of what Jiang Zhe said was!

...

Late at night, the Supercomputing Center of Huaqing University was brightly lit.

Professor Guan Jingming, draped in a black padded cotton coat, dragged the bleary-eyed Life Sciences Professor Wu Yongnian in from the dormitory building.

Behind them followed a bewildered Li Mo and the eight graduate assistants from last time.

"Old Guan, you'd better really have something urgent!" Professor Wu tugged at his crooked pajama jacket and pushed Professor Guan's hand away. "I really thought you'd fallen and were coveting my..."

"Coveting your big head! I guarantee the urgent matter is bigger than the sky." Professor Guan pointed at the humming supercomputer.

"What matter could be bigger than the sky?"

Professor Guan said without wasting a second:

"Let's run a simulation—simulating whether gods exist!"
