Chapter 561: Chapter 451: Alien Invasion of Earth (Part 2)

Rumble, rumble.

A gigantic rumbling noise came from above the sky, interrupting Emily’s words.

The rumbling was so deafening, layering down in such a way it made everyone’s heart pound.

Emily looked up in confusion, wanting to know what was making such a tremendous noise.

Zhang Qian also looked up with curiosity on his face.

The next moment, a shadow shattered the cloud layer.

At first, this shadow looked only as big as a grown man’s palm when viewed from the ground.

But in the blink of an eye, it grew larger and larger, until it resembled an endless thundercloud entirely covering above the clouds, blocking out all sunlight!

That’s not even the most terrifying part.

The most terrifying part is, this gigantic shadow, seems like a steel beast!

...

In the core control room of the super base.

Shen Xia, being formally invited as the "director" by Lu Li, naturally had to oversee everything inside the core control room of the base.

After familiarizing herself over the past few days, she roughly understood the function of each piece of equipment in the core control room.

At this time, it was around seven o’clock in the evening in Huaxia, and it was pitch dark outside.

However, because the super base was powered by antimatter annihilation, it was still brightly lit.

Shen Xia sat in front of the monitoring console, preparing to check the status of the spaceship returning to the Moon.

Suddenly, she saw numerous red dots appearing on the screen. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Shen Xia was startled, "Huh, what’s up with these red dots?"

Of course, she knew that the red dots indicated the presence of flying objects in the sky, just normally the red dots were quite small, about the size of a grain of rice. This time, however, the red dots were different; most were the size of soybeans, with even ten red dots roughly the size of cherries.

Generally speaking, the size of the red dots represents the size of the aircraft.

A rice-sized aircraft is typically a commercial airliner or something similar.

And now, the largest red dot is actually the size of a cherry?

Shen Xia could hardly imagine how large the detected aircraft is.

She even thought at the time that there might be a problem with the detection or display equipment, causing an error in the signal.

Despite this, Shen Xia, driven by curiosity, reached out to tap one of the cherry-sized red dots on the screen.

After her fingertip touched the red dot, the corresponding screen rapidly enlarged.

A moment later, Shen Xia finally saw clearly what was going on over there.

On the screen appeared an object as large as the entire Gusu region, somewhat resembling a cosmic battleship from science fiction films.

This cosmic battleship resembled a long dragon, with its sides lined densely with cannon barrels as wide as the diameter of a round table!

Upon seeing this, Shen Xia’s pupils constricted, suddenly realizing the information Lu Li had disclosed at his previous press conference had become reality at this moment—Aliens were invading Earth!

...

Online, everyone was initially criticizing the ancestors as cunning.

Well, not really criticizing, since no one dared to challenge the ancestors’ majesty, fearing obliteration.

Everyone was just analyzing the veracity of the gamma-ray burst, Lu Li saving the world, and the advanced alien civilization.

Maybe because Lu Li was too "eager" to rule the world.

Netizens always felt they saw a flaw in Lu Li’s "eagerness," so they eventually concluded that, regardless of the gamma-ray burst, Lu Li saving the world or the advanced alien civilization, the veracity was less than thirty percent.

This thirty percent was due to some people being awed by the ancestors’ infinite divine might, afraid to express their true thoughts; otherwise, the percentage might have been even lower.

"If it’s real, it won’t be false, if it’s false, it won’t be real."

"Let the truth be judged by future generations, we in this situation can only resign to fate."

"Time will restore the innocence of Earth’s eight billion humans."

Many netizens appeared very hopeless, and their words were full of discouragement.

Until now, no one actually believed there was such a thing as an advanced alien civilization.

No, it’s not that they don’t believe it doesn’t exist; they just don’t believe such a coincidence.

Here Lu Li wants to rule the world, and then an advanced alien civilization appears?

Yes, because they were so angry at Lu Li’s ambition to conquer Earth, they even reversed the "timeline."

The real situation was that the Spiritual Race first discovered the solar system, initially intending to mine stellar resources, which eventually led to a series of events that made Lu Li think that without human leadership, history would ultimately extinguish, so he expressed his intention to rule the world to guide humans towards glory.

Unfortunately, Earth’s humans didn’t know the true course of events, assuming it was Lu Li’s conspiracy.

Just as the majority were feeling an unending fury and despair.

Suddenly, a netizen uploaded an unbelievably absurd video.

The video’s title was: "Ancestor’s Prophecy Fulfilled: Aliens Really Attacked Earth!"

"Damn it!"

"Is there anyone still defending the ancestor?"

"Come on, aliens attacking Earth? Why not say Saiyans are invading!"

"Darn, there are fools every day, especially this year. The ancestors are going to enslave you, and you still defend them? Damn, you fool!"

"He doesn’t seem to be defending; I think he’s just chasing popularity."

"At a time like this, you’re still thinking about gaining popularity?"

Many netizens scoffed at the title and couldn’t help but sneer, feeling it was a stunt to catch the wave of popularity.

Though they felt speechless at the uploader, the news title was too intriguing, and the majority couldn’t resist clicking on the video.

Soon, everyone got a clear view of the video’s content.

On screen appeared a massive cosmic battleship, resembling a long dragon.

Densely packed cannon barrels wide as a round table lined its sides.

The appearance of this cosmic battleship bore some resemblance to those in science fiction movies.

One would think witnessing something like this would be shocking to many.

However, many "self-proclaimed smart" netizens couldn’t help but laugh.

"Haha."

"I knew someone was riding the wave of popularity."

"Damn, have some common sense when making videos. Does a cosmic battleship designed like a dragon really conform to aerodynamics?"

"Exactly, such a cosmic battleship isn’t scientific at all. I won’t even discuss if such a cosmic battleship can fly in reality; just consider how much energy it would require to fly given its elongated body? Couldn’t you design it like a normal spaceship, which is the most energy-efficient shape?"

"Disperse, disperse, this guy is just a fame-chasing troll, purely riding the wave of popularity."

Netizens didn’t buy it at all, unanimously thinking the uploader was chasing popularity.

It wasn’t long after these netizens mocked the uploader when they finally realized something was wrong.

Because above many cities where they were located, the very same cosmic battleship from the video was indeed looming in the sky!

Thus, many netizens cried out in shock online.

"Oh my God!"

"The video the uploader posted is real!"

"This cosmic battleship is actually real!"

"Oh my, I’m in New York, and a gigantic cosmic battleship like the one in the video appeared above the city, blocking the sunlight!"

These netizens were extremely shocked, but some netizens from countries not yet invaded by the cosmic battleship still didn’t believe it was real.

"Come on."

"Look at you all telling it so vividly, why haven’t I seen it?"

"Exactly, you’re all so good at fabricating stories, where’s this cosmic battleship? I haven’t seen it anyway."

This group of "stubborn" netizens utterly refused to believe or accept the reality of an alien invasion.

Though many still didn’t believe it, as more and more people exclaimed and paid attention, the number of those concerned grew.

But many still maintained significant skepticism, unable to fully trust its authenticity.

After all, not having "seen it with their own eyes," how could they believe such a "scientifically implausible" cosmic battleship exists in the video?

Until some online media published relevant reports.

Until official websites of various nations issued level one alerts.

Until official TV stations of various countries were urging people to be cautious.

Only then did everyone finally realize...

Everything Lu Li mentioned at the press conference was true!

Aliens really have fucking invaded Earth!!
