CHAPTER 568: CHAPTER 282: THE FIRE-THIEVING IMMORTAL, A FINGER DROPS A STAR (PART 2)

From this video, it can be seen that the changes in the world don’t seem to have brought any bad things for the time being, and have even provided many high-yield crops domestically.

On the other hand, if there truly were immortals, they might have already collaborated with the country.

Now that it’s revealed externally, it also shows the country’s own confidence.

Mrs. Zhao was still sighing, "What kind of immortals can come up with these things? I would burn incense for them every day in the future."

When she spoke to this point, her tone became a bit more somber.

"If there were these things before...your grandpa wouldn’t have passed away so early."

Zhao Yi felt a pang in his heart. He didn’t really feel much watching this episode, as he hadn’t experienced hunger personally since his birth.

But his mother was born in the countryside and later became a city person through her own hard work.

Though his mother hadn’t suffered much hunger, she had always had something to eat, even if the food wasn’t abundant.

However, the grandpa his mother spoke of truly suffered in the early years, reluctant to eat a bite, always bringing it back for his wife and children, which harmed his health. He passed away just over fifty.

Back then, his mother had just started her own family, they didn’t have money, and hadn’t yet had the chance to show filial piety.

"That martial arts thing of yours, it’s related to this, isn’t it?"

Zhao Yi nodded.

This was quite obvious; it had long been discussed in the group chat that everyone trained their inner strength after the day the sun changed its appearance.

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat, could it mean he had the talent for immortality cultivation?

Zhao Yi thought chaotically, clicking on the next episode.

Suddenly, he keenly recognized a problem—the video’s view count was growing too fast!

When he watched the first episode, the video seemed to have just come online, with just over ten thousand views.

Now, prepared to watch the second episode, the numbers below already reached several million to tens of millions.

The second episode’s title was "Eternal Brightness."

This episode’s protagonist wasn’t a single person.

It was Professor Wang and a group of nuclear physics experts.

Zhao Yi naturally didn’t recognize them, but seeing the titles on the screen, he couldn’t help but feel stirred inside.

These people might not be as famous as Mr. Hou, but he had heard about their research field in his physics class, and it was something he could understand.

Soon, he realized this episode’s protagonist wasn’t even Professor Wang and his team, but...

He stared at the screen showing a simple golden core floating in the air, glowing brilliantly, and slowly opened his mouth wide.

Professor Wang’s excited voice, through the phone’s speaker, struck his chaotic mind.

"Controlled nuclear fusion!" Professor Wang’s tone couldn’t help but grow excited, "I can say this, when this golden core appeared..."

"The flame of human civilization will burn long and bright."

Zhao Yi pursed his lips, unexpectedly finding himself momentarily speechless.

"In mythology, there’s a god called Prometheus." Another professor sighed, "He stole the fire from the gods and gifted it to the beginning of human civilization."

"Dean Zheng, from the path of immortality cultivation, obtained this golden core..."

"Gifted us with the future of civilization."

Zhao Yi placed the phone on the bed and paced around the room, waving his fists, feeling nothing else could vent his excitement.

But Mrs. Zhao was a bit puzzled; she could understand the preciousness of those crops.

Yet found it hard to grasp the changes seen in Zhao Yi’s frenzy, making her even more confused.

"What does this mean?"

"Mom, just think, my inner strength, martial artist stuff, in front of this thing..."

"It’s nothing!"

"It doesn’t count for anything!"

The excited Zhao Yi cursed right in front of his mom, then covering his mouth after a while, he softly said, "Mom, controlled nuclear fusion is..."

His mom listened for a long time, then slapped her thigh, seemingly understanding, and said happily:

"So the electricity will be free?"

"..."

"Then what about fueling cars?"

"..."

"Mom, these are small matters." Zhao Yi said helplessly, "Let me put it this way, with this."

"Unlimited energy, first of all, will reduce environmental pollution."

"Our country, with this, won’t need to bow to others in this regard in the future!"

"With this thing, the world’s civilization will greatly advance!"

"Finally, even interstellar migration and exploring the universe will be imaginable!

Mrs. Zhao listened and slowly nodded: "A major scientific discovery, we won’t have to worry about anything."

"Yes!"

"But wasn’t this film about immortals?"

Oh right!

Zhao Yi froze, also feeling something strange.

Because this documentary was too scientific, it made him completely forget what it was about.

But the title of the third episode made his heart skip a beat—Encounter with the Immortal.

This episode begins with the gate of the nursing home, the antique main building, seemingly hiding countless secrets.

The documentary host is narrating:

"The cultivation of Jiushan No.2, the realization of controllable nuclear fusion, ultimately, all relate to one person, an immortal."

"Today, we are fortunate to visit him."

Zhao Yi couldn’t help but swallow a gulp of saliva.

The camera moves in, crossing the main building into the backyard.

Zheng Fa appears on the screen.

Seeing Zheng Fa’s young face, modern attire, and gentle eyes, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but feel puzzled:

Who is this person?

The immortal’s daoist boy?

Doesn’t seem like it...

Until the host called out: "Dean Zheng!"

He almost jumped up in surprise.

"Is this the immortal?"

He looked at Mrs. Zhao in disbelief.

Mrs. Zhao also shook her head: "Doesn’t seem like it."

Exactly!

This person looks just like an ordinary college student.

Except he’s a bit taller, his face a bit paler, his eyes a bit brighter, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about him.

Not saying an immortal must be an old man.

But at the very least, he should have a bit of immortal vibe, right?

But... Zheng Fa faced the camera, smiled slightly, seemingly greeting the person in front of the camera.

The host spoke again: "Dean Zheng, thank you for participating in our program..."

It really is him!

But...

If this documentary hadn’t shown Mr. Hou before, hadn’t shown so many nuclear physics experts.

He would have almost sworn.

Even if he held back, there was still some doubt in his heart, could it be...

He suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Is the person in the sun him?"

Mrs. Zhao thought for a moment: "The figure looks a bit similar."

Zhao Yi felt waves in his heart, only to see the person on the screen suddenly raise his palm, stopping the host from speaking.

Zheng Fa looked up at the sky and smiled: "Still unwilling."

Such a big change in the sun naturally wouldn’t only affect domestically.

I’m afraid countries around the world are also puzzled.

Zheng Fa knew that these days, the entire Rainbow Mountain seemed to be under observation, some of these coming from strange people below the mountain.

This was normal; as Zheng Fa grew more confident, actually, much of the information can make those with intentions understand the uniqueness of Rainbow Mountain.

Some of the observation came from... the sky.

Now, for the sake of experiments, Zheng Fa wasn’t always using the "Spirit Mountain Technique"; the spiritual energy generated by the Fusang Wood in the air might be a matter of type, seemingly didn’t affect modern equipment much.

This led to—Rainbow Mountain’s anti-reconnaissance capability against satellites and other equipment was sometimes not so strong.

Just like now.

Previously, he had only slightly cast two spells to interfere with these satellites—relatively mild.

But this time, it seems they’ve gone a bit too far...

Zhao Yi only saw the person on the screen point skyward, and the speaker emitted a series of whistling sounds.

The camera suddenly lifted, revealing several streaks of fire across the sky, one silvery-white object flying from beyond the heavens, obediently and gently landing in the courtyard of the nursing home.

Zhao Yi blinked in confusion, not understanding what had happened, but the documentary deliberately... inserted a news segment.

"Today at 15:45, a new model reconnaissance satellite from the Mountain Peak Country suddenly malfunctioned, falling into a nature reserve within our country."

"No casualties have been reported."

"The cause of the incident is still unclear."

"We hereby call on all countries to maintain space environment and reduce space debris..."

Unclear...

Unclear my foot!

You’ve made it obvious, haven’t you!

He paused the video, scrolled down, and found the top comment on the video was—Master, disciple bows to you!

To be honest, he also wanted to kneel down and take the screen as his master.

Isn’t this a thousand times more exciting than an excavator?
