The explosive popularity of "Celestial Thunder Chronicles 2" was anticipated by most people, but what they didn't expect was that you released a sequel in just one week.

Seriously, dude, are you making movies on a weekly basis?

Aren't you tired, buddy?

This is what countless directors and actors are puzzled about.

They don't understand how you're able to release a film with Hollywood-level costs every week, and for free, without even charging a membership fee.

Exactly, buddy, how do you make money? What's the point?

Filmmakers, both domestically and internationally, rack their brains trying to understand how there's such an uncommercialized peer out there.

The main thing is, with "Celestial Thunder Chronicles" being free and allowing free editing and distribution, it baffles the peers, as if piling the final dirt on their graves.

So, what do they do with their films, for which they invested millions or even billions? What about their painstakingly developed celebrity stars?

The reality is, "Celestial Thunder Chronicles" is free. Although first-person viewing is selective, the unknown technology used prevents any dizziness, so even audiences who aren't used to first-person views wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Along with a perfectly cast ensemble, strange yet meticulously logical Otherworld customs, and realistic, non-polluting special effects.

Even if the plot isn't top-tier, it's still a standard, passionate narrative, minimizing any plot shortcomings. Even in Hollywood, it stands as top-notch popcorn entertainment.

Audiences don't have high demands; a top-tier popcorn or canned-level movie can make them happy for a long time.

Mainly, it's free!

This made others in the film industry feel like they were struck by a dimensional reduction attack.

This is unacceptable, damn civilians! We spent millions and billions shooting movies, hired celebrities, why does he get to release this for free?

This way, with audiences getting used to it, no one will pay for movie tickets. How will we make a living?

When our movies are released, they'll be bombarded with bad reviews, all saying, "How dare you ask for money when you're not even as good as 'Celestial Thunder Chronicles'?"

We'll end up begging for change!

This isn't just ordinary civilians; as long as "Celestial Thunder Chronicles" maintains this quality with updates, they'll never rise. We must take severe action, either kill it or force it to switch to paid releases.

If not, it will indeed become the darkest day in film history. Whether domestically or internationally, whether cinemas or dei organizations, they've all reached a consensus.

Severe action must be taken!

...

The internet is in a frenzy; countless beautiful photos of Elf Maiden Ani begin circulating, along with meme creations.

"Is your wife pretty? She's a bug! .JPG"

Unsuspecting bystanders excitedly unzipped and opened the beautiful photo of the elf maiden, only for the beautiful elf to instantly transform into a grim monster.

This meme has unknowingly troubled countless dudes and ladies.

The meme's creator sparked numerous debates, causing more and more unsuspecting bystanders to learn about the news of "Celestial Thunder Chronicles 2".

The main thing is, although Ani is secretly a monster, she's the kind of rare Otherworld beauty with a distinct "demi-human" vibe.

She's generally humanoid, yet those subtle details that are completely different from humans give her a prominent demi-human vibe. This doesn't hit the uncanny valley but rather resonates with the most favored aspects by humans.

In other fantasy works, elves are clearly played by humans, but this elf maiden, with her little details, totems, and non-human traits, makes others suspect whether she is a genuine elf rather than a person in disguise.

This feeling is intense, especially with her utterly different habits and customs from humans, making the feeling even more obvious.

This drives countless fans of "non-human" types crazy with love.

Though she's a bug at heart, it doesn't matter; as long as the facade is appealing, people are willing to sleep with the bug out of love!

Under this intriguing meme, showing an elf maiden on the surface turning into a bug upon image click, this elf maiden became the first breakout and wildly popular character in "Celestial Thunder Chronicles 2".

Just like in the previous installment, where the Goddess of Beauty and Hera were the standout characters, in this sequel, this elf maiden's meme began to spread rapidly on TT.

Numerous people, attracted by the elf maiden's looks but faced with horror when revealing the bug, felt vengeful and wanted others to experience the same.

So they passed the image onto more people, with others spreading the image further.

In this era of rapidly developing information and AI, instant translation software is very mature, enabling people worldwide to easily communicate across languages.

Indeed, desire is humanity's primary driving force, so the viewership for "Celestial Thunder Chronicles 2" is skyrocketing at an eerie pace.

However, amid this internet frenzy, a batch of smear campaigns is ready.

"Celestial Thunder Chronicles" has many weaknesses, and once the smear campaigns launch, they will ignite public opinion instantly.

If you want to compete with us, you still have a long way to go. Comply and switch to a paid model, as you're just a challenger in this film industry!

...

The internet frenzy and the chaotic figures in the film industry have no real relationship with Xue Dili at the moment.

Uploading the video late at night, Xue Dili continued to fiddle around the Giant Beast for a long time, still without any reaction.

Breathing, yes; heartbeat, yes; eye movement response, yes; knee jerk reaction, yes.

But there's just no consciousness whatsoever.

Xue Dili even recklessly ran into the mouth of the Giant Beast, yet he saw no food debris. Instead, inside the beast's mouth, there was a residue of sulfur and high-energy reactions.

Which means, it hasn't even exhibited any feeding behavior recently...

When did such strange creatures appear in the cosmos?

He scoured through the knowledge base left by the Great Sage but found nothing relevant.

The cells of the Giant Beast were incredibly strong. When Xue Dili used the Cursed Blood to inspect, he always felt as if these cells would perform a dark ritual and cruelly beat his Cursed Blood.

And the energy of these Giant Beast cells... it's incredibly massive. Each cell contains energy values even tens of thousands of times that of normal human cells.

What's more frightening is that through the Cursed Blood, it was discovered that the Giant Beast's cells inadvertently fuse one-tenthousandth of the tritium from water into helium elements...

And the waste helium would be expelled with the Giant Beast's breath...

In other words, this monster performs billions of controlled nuclear fusions every moment inside its body.

He suddenly felt that even calling it a Super Beast might not suffice; in a tokusatsu series, it would at least be an elite monster...

The kind of elite monster that could make the invincible Safforing flare up and fall.

But...

"Old Deng, say something, will you? If you can't speak, at least nod or grunt. Give me some response." Xue Dili looked at the Giant Beast, once again feeling the headache.

Worse than when he first communicated with the old undead, who was simply mad and mentally unstable. The Giant Beast, on the other hand, just completely ignored him.

Xue Dili took a piece of meat scraps in hand and silently left the Consciousness Space.

A palm-sized piece of meat is just a flake of skin to the Giant Beast, but Xue Dili painstakingly checked it with the Cursed Blood, removing any parts that might trigger nuclear fusion.

He wrapped the meat in breadcrumbs, placed it in a frying pan, and fried it until golden. Xue Dili pinched a bit of salt and pepper with one hand and sprinkled it on top.

Cooked to seventy percent, Xue Dili took out a knife and said, "Tonight's midnight snack is this..."

"Crack..." The knife handle broke right off, barely cutting through the protein layer of the Giant Beast meat.

Xue Dili...

What a lousy knife!

He decided to bite into it directly.

As he took a bite, Xue Dili instantly felt a frenzy of energy partying in his mouth, as if he had eaten a whole pack of Pop Rocks...

"Mmm, brother, brother, you taste amazing..."

…

At night, with a mouth full of flavor, Xue Dili drifted into dreamland.

"Fighter pilot, Lieutenant Robert, step forward!"

In the dream, there was a spacious airfield and those cool triangular fighter jets.

Xue Dili: ???

No, Old Deng, aren't you a beast with cells undergoing nuclear fusion? How is it he sees a pilot's memories?

Did he somehow connect to a strange place?

But holding his patience, Xue Dili continued watching.

It was a world where technology and magic coexisted. The tech tree of that world was a bit like Blue Star's; they had mastered stable use of magic by the close of the steam era, thus technology and magic ran parallel.

And now, their world had entered the information age, and mages were no longer secretive but joined special "Spiritual Ability High Schools" to advance their studies.

Indeed, people in their world referred to "magic" as spiritual energy. They mastered spiritual energy while also developing technology, embarking on a path of dual-development.

After long-term development, legendary-level mages emerged, but the "Teleportation Gate" technology remained elusive, hence they still couldn't leave their planet.

The reason being, it's not a peaceful world.

In this world, there existed terrifying creatures, the Giant Beasts!

From some unknown time, seemingly when the world's people mastered magic, the world began to change.

Countless creatures' bodies began to swell dramatically, reaching tens of meters high. Those sky-covering Giant Beasts roamed the wilderness just like that.

Humans were forced to build city walls, using heavy artillery and armored vehicles to drive away the Giant Beasts. Most Giant Beasts would be scared off by firepower and explosions.

However, a small number of Giant Beasts would attack cities, either smashing city walls with resulting massacres or being bombarded by jets and giant cannons, their bodies decomposed and disposed of.

To Xue Dili, this world seemed a bit like... a tokusatsu drama world without the Light Giant.

A world where humans and monsters coexist!
