Xue Dili chose to release it on TT because it is, after all, a story from Ancient Greece, and TT is a global video website.
The people here are more likely to accept stories set in Ancient Greece and are more likely to remember their names.
Moreover, he doesn't care about video piracy at all; if someone pirated his video and posted it elsewhere, Xue Dili would even thank them.
...
"Today we'll take a break and see if there's any good movie to watch." A famous game streamer, after being punished in a ranking match, could only say this shamefully.
And after a barrage of "shameful shut down" comments, a long stream of comments suddenly appeared.
"Go watch 'Greek Epic'"
"The streamer must watch the Greek Epic"
"Go watch the Greek Epic, it's free, and can be freely broadcast in the streaming room"
"It's best to use a 3D surround screen, the feeling is incredible!"
...
The barrage of comments left the streamer a bit perplexed, suspecting an army of fake accounts might be at work.
It shouldn't be, he thought to himself as he looked, noting that even many familiar names from his leaderboard had posted, which made him question, "Has a new Ancient Greek movie come out? I remember in the last movie about Hercules, Athena turned into a black woman, and Hercules became a gender-fluid animal protector with dark skin."
The barrage again denied this and urged him to hurry and watch it.
Still puzzled, the streamer began to search. After all, it was said to be a free movie, and since it didn't cost money and had no copyright claims, there was no harm in watching it.
The story's beginning simply introduces the background and time travel, without showing any images.
The first time he opened his eyes, he saw the goddesses involved in the Golden Apple incident along with gods whose arms seemed wide enough to race horses, a scene that instantly impacted the hearts of countless viewers.
In an age where King Arthur has dark skin, the Mermaid has dark skin, Snow White has dark skin, and Juliet has dark skin, an authentic scene of an Ancient Greek god and goddess completely overwhelmed the minds of countless men and women.
"To see something so good on the first day..."
That was nearly everyone's visceral reaction to the scene, followed by a flurry of marriage proposals from the audience.
Then came an immersive environment, the gathering of the heroes of Troy, and the construction of the god-slaying ship, Celestial Thunder.
Here, countless comments streamed by.
"Celestial Thunder! The director must be a card game fan!"
"I must overclock now"
"Soaring into the sky..."
Until the real plan unfolded, the scenario of "Offering the son's head" and "The dagger plan revealed" gave them a slight shock, for the first time letting the people on TT know there was such resolve to complete a plan using one's own head.
At this point, comments were sparse, as everyone was engrossed in the story— the bravery of the twelve trials, the tragic offering of the son's head, and then Hector carrying Xue Dili's head to the Netherworld.
All perspectives were focused on that decapitated head.
At this moment, all the audience was curious as to what the protagonist, known as "the most beautiful person in Greece," really looked like, and they thought they were about to see them soon.
But here, the images were cut, showing only a boy covered in armor, then the first-person perspective switched back to the body.
Countless heroes called out their homeland's name and launched a desperate charge at Zeus, creating a suffocating pressure.
Everyone was completely immersed, with very few comments, yet the video maintained a real-time viewership of nearly a hundred thousand.
The fallen heroes stood up again, with Celestial Thunder transforming into a weapon colliding with Zeus, and scenes of Hercules exhausting his divine rank and life to intercept Zeus moved countless people to tears.
Until finally, with the dust settled, a spear that pierced the sky was thrown in the presence of countless gods.
With Zeus's death, a cast list (randomly fabricated) appeared, and the whole story came to an end.
The men watched in silence and the women watched through tears.
The streamer, who had been watching with fans, also fell silent, having not spoken a word in the second half, staring blankly at the cast list, left with nothing but a wistful sigh.
In this age where even the Statue of Liberty has dark skin, and movies dominated by the aesthetic of a minority group run rampant, they witnessed a film with a pure Greek aesthetic, feeling spiritually cleansed.
Within it, both gods and heroes possessed the most pristine and pure beauty of Ancient Greece, without any commercial or political pollution.
Furthermore, the story was utterly pure and simple, just a classic "assassinate the king" type of story.
No matter who it was, from any nation or culture, they could understand the story's meaning and be moved by its simple and pure aesthetic and narrative.
Coupled with the immersive environmental setup, it was as if they really had traveled to Ancient Greece, with incredibly realistic special effects.
Most importantly, this was a blockbuster-level movie for free.
All the prerequisites for it to go viral were in place. At this moment, this "movie," with only its editing techniques appearing slightly rough, exploded online.
"Bro, this is my movie of the year—really, I won't see another film that moves me this much this year. The last time I felt this way was watching Pacific Rim 1," the streamer finally dragged the progress bar again after a long silence.
He didn't even want to watch clips or reviews of this movie; he just wanted to watch it again.
It was also the tacit action of countless viewers who did the same, and amidst this, bits of "faith" slowly drifted from all over the world, finally landing in front of the portrait of Celestial Thunder in Xue Dili's spiritual space.
...
Xue Dili's TT account exploded, with countless private messages, friend requests, ranking votes, and follows flooding his newly created account. On this night (or day), countless people stayed awake, unable to eat or drink.
However, it had nothing to do with him, now in the "Wise Man Mode" after overclocking his thoughts.
Just like during the old undead times, when using "overclocking" for the first time, he sparred with Xue Dili and the Death Knight for dozens of days; today he was even worse off, both physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme.
After all, mastering editing in a single day, cutting a whole movie, and finishing the AI dubbing training, at the moment, Xue Dili felt more exhausted than after defeating Zeus.
Even though he's no longer considered a "human" by definition, already a Half Heroic Spirit, he still only felt that he was about to ascend to immortality.
Among the Great Sage's legacies, the Overclocking Module allowed Xue Dili to accelerate his thinking dozens or even hundreds of times, making it feel like time had stopped during battles.
And in daily life, it also gave him plenty of extra time for magic and swordsmanship training, but the side effects are quite obvious, causing his fatigue to increase severalfold or even dozens of times.
Decisions about its use may need further consideration in the future.
And while Xue Dili was catching up on sleep, in the Consciousness Space, the countdown reached zero.
A disheveled man found himself in the Consciousness Space; he seemed to be a knight, clad in full protective heavy plate armor, his hair a tangled mess, his beard unkempt.
He was a bit stunned, instinctively surveying the panel and Treasure within the Consciousness Space, then cautiously said, "Is anyone here? Anyone around?"
"I am a member of the third squad of the Interstellar Corps, having just sealed an Evil God. You can call me Lotte, or my title..."
"Beloved Hero!"
