Dreaming is normal or rather, it's stranger when people don't dream.
But Lu Yuan had never had such a weird dream. Not because it was too bizarre, but because everything in it felt too real.
Space meteorites falling from the sky. Overwhelming waves of ferocious beasts. Human warriors on horseback, swords drawn…
All of it surged through Lu Yuan's mind with extreme clarity, as if he had lived it himself.
Simply… it felt like me in another world.
"It's broad daylight and I'm still not fully awake… How could something like this happen? I'm just an ordinary person."
The young man with thick dark circles sat up in bed and patted his cheek.
He grabbed his phone from the bedside table and opened the browser only to find that it had automatically jumped to a brand-new website he had never seen before.
[Viewer Network]
Audience? Whose audience? A new movie site?
With doubts swirling in his mind, Lu Yuan clicked into the few works displayed on the website.
But the moment he opened one, his eyes were instantly seized by the content shocked, even.
Because he realized the "movie" was exactly the same as the dream he had just had… only even more detailed.
From meteorites falling, to a virus spreading across the globe and triggering rapid evolution…
Humanity was wiped out. The remaining population could only hide in underground fortresses.
Finally, humans developed genetic medicines, creating warriors capable of fighting ferocious beasts.
But it was too late. Far too late.
In the face of terrifyingly powerful ferocious beasts, humans weren't even qualified to survive in the world anymore. They were completely destroyed in a violent wave.
"What the hell… all humanity is wiped out?!"
Lu Yuan blurted it out before he could stop himself.
The exquisite visuals drew him in without permission. He couldn't help but feel stunned—then deeply shaken by the ending of mankind's demise.
"Is this a movie?"
"No… what kind of movie could invite that old man plus the prime ministers and presidents of several other countries to star in it? And…"
Lu Yuan stared at the ferocious beasts on his phone screen, his scalp going numb.
In his dream, his ending had been miserable his body torn apart by ferocious beasts.
"Gan, what the hell is this? Why does it look exactly like my dream?"
He was surprised uncertain instinctively feeling that this "spectator network" was extremely weird.
But curiosity pushed him forward anyway.
He clicked on the second archived clip:
"Earth Farm."
This was a continuation of the first clip.
A hundred years after humanity had been wiped out, ferocious beasts roamed freely on Blue Star fighting each other in the bloodiest ways, evolving through slaughter.
"Is the theme this time… battles between ferocious beasts?"
Lu Yuan's expression turned interested.
In other words, any man would be interested in massive beast battles like that. It was a violent desire, a bloody impulse, hidden deep in the bones.
Then Lu Yuan saw a scene he never could have expected.
In the outer space of Blue Star, a shuttle-shaped spacecraft slowly emerged.
The camera cut directly into its interior, fully retelling what the alien creature said.
The origin of the virus. The reason animals and plants worldwide evolved so rapidly…
All the confusion suddenly became clear.
"Nima… this is… awesome."
Lu Yuan was so shocked he couldn't even finish the sentence.
If this was just a dream, then the worldbuilding of that dream was far too grand.
From that moment on, he couldn't bear to blink, afraid he might miss an insanely exciting shot.
Because what played now were ultra-clear monster battles fists and claws crashing into flesh thrilling to the core.
Lu Yuan's blood surged.
He even wished he could transform into the giant devouring beast, grab the three-clawed dragon, and smash it into the ground.
By the time he finished watching all the clips of "Earth Farm," more than an hour had passed.
Including the previous doomsday clip, he had watched for over three hours straight.
He subconsciously rubbed his sore eyes, feeling deeply tired.
"There's one left…"
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't click the archived clip of "Age of Warriors."
Not only because he was exhausted, but because he couldn't bear to finish everything at once.
Compared to the games and movies currently on the market, the visuals on this audience website were too exquisite too excellent almost like reality that had truly happened.
Subconsciously, Lu Yuan opened his own Penguin software, wanting to share his discovery with fellow movie lovers.
However, the moment he clicked in, he realized everyone already knew about the website.
"Damn, these video clips are so realistic I even saw my hometown!"
"What are you talking about? I saw myself in there. Tsk tsk… that was miserable. I actually got bitten to death by the neighbor's mutated dog."
"I don't know what the author was thinking, making the ferocious beasts so powerful. Luckily, the warrior era that followed was pretty good so labor and management didn't criticize him."
"Squirt? I think you're just afraid you won't get to see the sequel!?"
Message after message flooded the chat.
Many people mentioned seeing themselves in it. Some even said they had had very similar dreams.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
This didn't feel like a simple coincidence.
Under normal circumstances, even a country couldn't do something like this.
It was unbelievable.
It was like… a fragment of another world.
As if he suddenly thought of something, Lu Yuan sucked in a cold breath.
He exited the chat software, returned to the audience website, and clicked on the last archived work:
"Age of Warriors."
"If what I experienced in the dream matches the clip… then the me who became a warrior in the dream should appear in it."
Lu Yuan's eyes lit with abnormal excitement as he dragged the progress bar to the later stage.
He searched carefully among the many warriors on screen…
And finally found himself.
"!!!"
Lu Yuan's pupils shrank.
The next second, there was a sudden knock on his door.
"Hello? Brother, are you at home? I'm checking the water meter."
