BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 - Fake News
Everyone could do it but not automatically. Cultivation was like a long process of learning to whistle. Everyone had this ability in them. They just didn’t know how to use it without practice.
Although Himmel Soan told Viclan what his ability was, Viclan couldn’t obtain the ability himself. To do that, one needed a spiritual foundation. Only then could one generate the spiritual essence.
Very few people were born with a spiritual foundation. It was mainly inherited and very hard to obtain through practice.
Most members of the three Himmelian divisions had a spiritual foundation through inheritance, which was why they were such formidable warriors. They were no longer ordinary people. As the spiritual foundation was almost impossible to acquire, Himmel Soan could only introduce the principle to Viclan and let him figure it out on his own.
When the airflow went through a narrow opening, it would make a sound. That was how simple the principle was.
Everyone had the innate vigorous energy in them, but most people didn’t know how to use
it.
Viclan needed to find the source of the innate vigorous energy and use an external force, aka science, to extract it. It was the same with teleportation and space cannon.
Sky EyeV (verified account) wrote, “We’re making an important announcement. When you see this, please tell your friends and family!
“We’ve learned from a reliable source that a super meteorite about 2.35 the size of Earth will hit us in 15 days. Please stay calm and do not panic. Our country has found a countermeasure. Everyone should pack their valuable belongings and wait for further notice. The government will soon start the evacuation!”
The announcement went viral. If it had come from influencers, the public would only think they were spreading rumors again. However, Sky Eye was behind it.
Sky Eye was run by the government, which meant they had some authority. They wouldn’t spread rumors. But it didn’t sound real either.
“What? A meteorite is going to hit Earth? Is that a prank?”
“@Sky EyeV (verified account) Is that true? You’re scaring me!”
“Although it came from Sky Eye, it still doesn’t sound real to me. A meteorite bigger than Earth? That’s a planet, not a meteorite!”
“If it’s that big, why haven’t any scientists noticed it yet? Why weren’t we told earlier? Why did you wait until there’s only half a month left?”
“That’s right. If you can forecast the alignment of the nine planets and the eclipse of the moon, why did it take you so long to notice a giant meteorite?” “They’ve made it up!”
These were the polite comments.
Some more radical netizens immediately started criticizing the post.
“I would believe it if it came from Neige. It’s not that I look down upon our country, but the reality is that our scientific research is much inferior to that of Neige. So far, Neige has posted nothing on this subject, and we’re the only country that has reached that conclusion. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“Some people may not like what we’re saying, but I don’t think we’ve said anything wrong! We’re very subjective! I’ve checked the official websites of all major countries, and none of them have said anything about a meteorite. Sky Eye must be making fun of us! Q.E.D.”
“I’m curious where the information came from and why they called it reliable? I think our technology is quite advanced, and we’ve learned a few things about the universe. We’re able to forecast things like meteoric showers six months in advance, so why are we so late this time? Why only 15 days?”
“If what you said is true, where can we hide? Can anything destroy a meteorite twice the size of Earth? Where we hide won’t make any difference.”
“I want to say something. Please don’t hate me. First of all, this isn’t happening. Secondly, even if it is, I think we can just copy Neige’s reaction. Their technology is so advanced that they must know how to get through this catastrophe!”
“I love my country, but I can’t turn a blind eye to reality. We’re not as good as other countries in so many aspects. Of course, we’re also the leading country in many fields, but I still don’t think this is really going to happen. Even if it is, I don’t believe we’ll be the first country to forecast it!”
Many people shared their opinions. They remained subjective, and even the radical ones managed to stay sensible.
The foreign press had been watching the social media in Moon. In a matter of minutes, Sky Eye’s post was translated to other languages, astonishing all other countries. They began to mock Moon.
“What? A meteorite? Holy crap! That’s some bold statement!”
“Is that one of their latest movies? Are they into the natural disaster theme, too? I don’t think they’re imaginative enough to make a good sci-fi movie!”
“Just because Viclan has gone back doesn’t mean they can catch up with us right away!
They’ll need at least a few years! A meteorite! Where did that even come from?”
“LMAO. That’s the most hilarious thing I’ve heard this year. I hope God can forgive them for their ignorance.”
“I’ve asked my friend, an astronomer in Neige. There’s no meteorite. They’ve made it up! No meteorite has been spotted, let alone something of that size!”
“It’s fake news! The Moonians make me laugh!”
Netizens of Woodia, Soilia, and Winland sided with Neige. No one believed the post, and they all laughed at Moon.
Soon the government officials got wind as well. “A meteorite is heading our way? Why is Moon saying that?”
“Isn’t it obvious? They know we’re still trying to get the scientists back, and war can break out at any moment. Therefore, they tried to mask it with something even more severe. Once that is over, we won’t be so angry anymore, and they can avoid going against us.” “They’re so naive! With or without a meteorite, we won’t forgive them! They need to pay for what they did! We haven’t train Viclan for so many years for nothing!” “I agree with Maruse. Winland will side with Neige. Guys, what do you think?”
