Chapter 29: The live stream exploded, and the official response was...
Jiang Yu took a deep breath and clicked the button to start the live stream.
Almost instantly, it was as if the floodgates had been opened, and a massive influx of spectators rushed in!
The number of people going live and the number of online viewers skyrocketed!
The numbers were jumping wildly, completely exceeding any of her previous live streaming experiences.
Clearly, the lingering impact of yesterday's Oriental Pearl Tower incident, coupled with today's long-awaited "crossover live stream," has attracted countless curious, skeptical, and expectant eyes.
The screen was instantly flooded with comments:
"It's live! Sister Yu is streaming!"
"Front row! Sofa!"
"Let me see what the world of cultivation is like!"
"This setting...it really looks like it's in the wild?"
"The sky is so blue! The clouds are so white! The air is so clear, it doesn't look fake!"
"Sister Yu! Sister Yu! Look here!"
"Did the streamer really time travel? Or is it special effects?"
"Idiot upstairs? Was yesterday's 350-meter tower jump a special effect?"
"Quiet down, quiet down, let's take a look first!"
Jiang Yu looked at the rapidly scrolling barrage of comments and the explosive popularity, tried to calm her wildly beating heart, and gave the camera a bright but slightly nervous smile.
It was her first time livestreaming in such an unusual environment, and the content was so explosive, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.
"Hi everyone! I'm Jiang Yu!"
She raised her voice, making sure it was clear through the howling wind, "Can you see me? Can you hear me?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Sister Yu's voice is trembling a little, is it exciting?"
"The wind is blowing so loudly in the background, is it really in the sky?"
"Sister Yu, where are you now? On the North Star?"
"That's right!"
Jiang Yu nodded vigorously, his face beaming with excitement. "I did it! I really made it to the Big Dipper! This is the world of cultivation! I am now..."
She paused deliberately, keeping everyone in suspense, and slowly rotated the phone camera, sweeping across the boundless sea of clouds in front of her, across the magnificent mountains and rivers below that looked like miniature models, and across the two suns in the distance, one large and one small, one gold and one silver, radiating different brilliance.
"I'm flying in the sky right now!" she announced loudly.
Wherever the camera falls, there is a truly vast and boundless landscape that is difficult to replicate in any film and television base or with special effects.
The magnificent beauty—lofty, vast, and imbued with a primitive wildness and exquisite charm—impacts every viewer's visual senses through the high-definition lens.
The barrage of comments exploded again:
"Holy crap! It's really flying! This perspective!"
"The clouds are moving! The ground is receding! It's not a fixed background!"
"Two suns! My God! Two suns in the sky?!"
"This scenery... is absolutely stunning! Every frame could be a wallpaper!"
"What did Sister Yu use to film this? It's so steady! A drone?"
"This doesn't feel like a drone's perspective..."
"The streamer is awesome! He really time-traveled!"
But a discordant comment popped up: "Heh, that's it? Find a scenic spot, take aerial photos, add some special effects to create a double sun effect, and you call that another world? Are you kidding me? Show me some real stuff if you're so capable!"
This question immediately attracted a barrage of criticism:
"Another 'know-it-all'? Did he feed the dogs in yesterday's tower-jumping video?"
"You can donate your eyes if you don't need them anymore!"
"Sister Yu, ignore the trolls!"
"Yes, we believe you!"
Jiang Yu saw the question but wasn't angry; instead, she smiled.
She had long anticipated that there would be stubborn skeptics.
She adjusted the camera, not immediately showing the dragon beneath her feet, but continued, "I know that just looking at the scenery might make some people think I'm lying. That's okay, we'll take it slow. Let me first show you the ecological environment of the Big Dipper."
She acted like a dutiful tour guide, introducing what she saw and heard to the audience based on her intuition and imagination, even though she was a newcomer herself.
The atmosphere in the live stream became increasingly lively, with gifts being sent continuously, and the number of online viewers had exceeded 50,000.
At this moment, a comment caught her attention: "Sister Yu, what do you mean by 'riding a dragon' in your title? Are you joking or are you serious?"
Immediately afterwards, more comments about dragons began to flood the screen:
"Yeah, clickbait?"
"Riding a dragon? Sister Yu, aren't you getting carried away?"
"Where's the dragon? Let me see the dragon!"
"Could it be photoshopped?"
"If dragons really exist, I'll livestream myself washing my hair upside down and shaving my head!"
Jiang Yu looked at the comments and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
The time is almost right.
"Everyone seems quite interested in dragons?"
She winked at the camera. "Okay, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll be merciful and let you take a look."
She deliberately moved the camera slowly down, passing over her legs as she sat on the "saddle," and then over the enormous, neatly arranged, purplish-gold scales beneath her that shimmered with a metallic sheen in the sunlight!
At first, the audience didn't realize what it was.
Until the camera froze, those purple-gold scales, each the size of a washbasin, with sharp edges, reflecting the sunlight, and bearing natural, mysterious patterns, were clearly and unobstructedly presented to everyone!
There was a brief lull in the chat.
It was as if everyone watching the live stream held their breath and their brains went blank at that moment.
The next second, an even more intense flood of information completely overwhelmed the live stream's servers!
Although the platform had already made preparations to expand its capacity, the concurrent traffic at this moment still exceeded the limit, and the screen experienced a momentary stutter and static, but it quickly recovered.
"What...what did I just see?!"
"Scales?! Scales that big?!"
"It's purple-gold! It's reflecting light!"
"This texture...this pattern...can't be done with CG, right?!"
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! It really is... dragon scales?!"
"What is Sister Yu sitting on?!"
"Camera up! Up! Show the whole body!"
"Dragon! It's a dragon! The title is true!"
"Mom! I saw a dragon!"
"I'm completely defeated! I'm utterly defeated!"
"Where's that guy who was talking about washing his hair upside down and shaving his head? Come out and start a live stream!"
Jiang Yu watched the completely frenzied barrage of comments, his heart filled with the satisfaction of a successful prank and an indescribable excitement.
She slowly moved the camera up, filming the long, graceful neck of the purple-gold dragon, its back covered with fine scales, and part of its huge tail swaying slightly in front.
She didn't film everything at once, but rather revealed it little by little, like unveiling a mystery.
"That's right," her voice trembled with excitement but was filled with pride, "As you can see, I am now riding on the back of a dragon! A real, living, flying—purple-gold divine dragon!"
"roar--!"
As if to complement her introduction, the purple-gold dragon beneath her let out a deep and majestic roar that reverberated through the sky and was clearly heard by every viewer through the camera lens.
This dragon's roar was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, or the last spark that ignited a powder keg, extinguishing all remaining doubts in that instant!
"Dragon's roar! I heard a dragon's roar!"
"It's true! It's all true!"
"Sister Yu! Let me see the dragon head! Please!"
"How big is this dragon? It looks huge!"
"Watch out, streamer! Don't fall!"
"There really are dragons in the cultivation world! My worldview has been shattered!"
"A Chinese totem! I actually saw it in another world!"
"I'm so moved, brothers!"
The number of viewers in the live stream surged toward 100,000, and trending topics on major social media platforms were instantly dominated by hashtags such as #JiangYuRidingDragon#, #PurpleGoldDivineDragon#, and #ConfirmedImprovementOfTheCultivationWorld#.
Countless people spread the word, calling on their friends and family to come and witness this unprecedented spectacle.
Meanwhile, in a top-secret conference room somewhere on Earth.
On the huge screen, Jiang Yu's live stream was playing.
When the enormous purple-gold dragon scales and the majestic dragon roar appeared, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.
All the experts, generals, and high-ranking leaders stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
"Dragon...Chinese dragon..." an elderly expert with white hair murmured to himself, his fingers trembling slightly. "Horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, ears like a cow... Although only a part is visible, the color and shape of the scales... match the image of the divine dragon recorded in ancient books and legends with an extremely high degree of accuracy! This... how is this possible?!"
"It's not a Western lizard dragon, it's a true Eastern dragon!" Another biologist exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement. "And judging by its size and imposing presence, it absolutely surpasses all known life forms on Earth! Its energy level... is immeasurable!"
"This has exceeded all our previous estimates! The seriousness and significance of this matter must be reassessed! Report to higher management immediately!"
"yes!"
