[White Dragon Appears in the Sky Over Jingshi City]
This was the headline and trending news across all major news sites.
Not only that, videos of the flying white dragon were spreading rapidly on various social media platforms.
Many people captured the white dragon on camera, and a livestream channel called "Bird's Eye View of Jingshi City" even recorded the entire process of the dragon's appearance.
The massive white dragon remained on camera for a full four minutes before disappearing, providing a clear indication of its enormous size.
Netizens were abuzz, speculating that it might be some kind of special event.
Some clever netizens even compared it to the white dragon sighting in Z City, noting that despite the blurriness of the Z City footage, the outlines were 80% similar, a fact that immediately shot to the top of the trending list.
If the news from Z City claimed the dragon was fireworks, then what was this dragon?
Special effects?
Various bloggers with names like "LaughingAtMe" seized the opportunity to post, ["Finally, proof that I am a dragon descendant!"]
With a photo: the white dragon in the sky.
Top comment: I remember you didn't say that before! Did you say that, you deaf descendant! Photo: [Screenshot of previous contradictory statement]
Eliciting a wave of laughter from everyone.
Although the masses, raised on materialistic education, believed themselves to be dragon descendants, to them, this dragon was more of a spiritual heritage passed down through the ages, rather than an actual living creature.
They had certainly seen dinosaurs before, but had yet to encounter the mythical dragons of legend.
After the photos and videos of the white dragon spread for a while, more and more people saw them.
Until another piece of news topped the trending list.
Tonight's evening news will be delayed by 15 minutes
People clicked on the trending topic to find that the official media had posted a notice stating that tonight's evening news would be delayed due to a special program arrangement!
["In all these years, I've only heard of the news being pushed back for special circumstances, never delayed! What special circumstance could make the evening news give way?"]
["I'm guessing it's the white dragon! After hiding it from us for thousands of years, is dad finally not keeping it a secret anymore?"]
["Maybe the TV station's equipment malfunctioned?"]
["What program is it that could take over the evening news timeslot? I want to see how amazing this program is!"]
Song Jixing glanced at the clock in the upper right corner - 6:48 PM, almost time.
There had been news from around the world about the revival of spiritual energy. Some countries had even reported on it specifically, treating those animals as mutants exposed to radiation, including the ones that could speak.
Scientists were still investigating the root cause in their laboratories, with no definitive conclusions yet.
Shen Feixuan had found some relevant materials on the internet through special means and shared them with his fellow disciples.
There may be a period of chaos in the future, but this chaos was part of the plan.

Time ticked by second by second until 7 PM.
Tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night.
Many people sat in front of their TV sets at home, waiting for the 7 PM program. Some young people out and about whipped out their phones and opened livestreaming apps, curious about the program that would air at 7.
The familiar red curtain opened, emblazoned with the golden hammer and sickle emblem.
A leader well-known to everyone stood at the center of the auditorium, flanked by other leaders who typically only appeared on important evening news broadcasts.
Their presence alone spoke volumes.

At the start of this announcement, Song Jixing was still standing on the hotel rooftop, enjoying the breeze.
While listening to the discussions about the revival of spiritual energy from all directions.
After two minutes, Song Jixing's phone vibrated lightly.
Song Jixing opened her phone to see a message from her agent, Xu Kai.
Xu Kai: Did you see the press conference tonight? The revival of spiritual energy! Ordinary people can cultivate! And dragons! It's all real!!!
Xu Kai sat on the brown leather sofa in his living room, expressing the sentiments deep in his heart!
Although he had many friends, due to his recent work commitments, he hadn't been in touch with most of them.
While Song Jixing could be a bit picky about her work, she had a good personality and a tight lip, so Xu Kai would often vent to her about work-related frustrations, occasionally receiving a word of advice from Song Jixing.
He couldn't miss such a national news-level event!
Of course, Song Jixing wasn't the only one he vented to - he also confided in his childhood friends, elders, and peers in his family.
However, when chatting with family members and peers, Xu Kai rarely used exclamation marks.
After all, he held a senior position in the family, with many younger brothers and sisters, so as the eldest, he had to maintain a certain level of composure when speaking.
The bright light from the over 100-inch TV illuminated the living room, so Xu Kai didn't turn on the lights.
The flickering TV light fell on Xu Kai's body and a row of sealed plastic snack packages leaning against the wall, each reflecting the TV screen.
In a small gap by the door, a set of navy blue uniforms was placed on a table.
"...and established a relevant special action department..." The leader on TV continued reading from the script, while the department's emblem appeared on the screen behind him.
A special five-pointed star surrounding a sword, with a coiled dragon at the bottom.
Xu Kai glanced at the TV during a break from messaging and saw the emblem on the screen.
It looked familiar...
Wait a minute!
Xu Kai suddenly stared intently at the emblem on the screen for a while!
It wasn't just familiar - he had seen it many times today!
Xu Kai dashed to the light switch by the door and frantically turned on the lights, then ran around the room like a madman.
He ran to the left side, then to the right!
He even rushed into the bedroom and bathroom, searching for the uniform he had just received today!
The emblem of the Special Action Department was identical to the one on his uniform!
Xu Kai's conviction lasted only a few seconds before he started doubting himself again.
After all, he still couldn't find the uniform, what if it wasn't the same? What if he was just seeing things?
The top priority was finding the uniform so he could compare it carefully.
Xu Kai searched high and low around the house for a long time, working up a sweat without finding the uniform. As he prepared to search the entire place from top to bottom, he noticed the small table behind the sofa, where the snack packages and a plastic-wrapped piece of clothing were placed together.
When the uniform was delivered, he had taken a good look at it in the office, but since his boss told him not to wear it carelessly, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
He thought it was just a new security guard uniform from the company.
What a fool he was!
Xu Kai took the bag and returned to the sofa, unwrapping the uniform and studying the front and back emblems intently.
He looked up at the TV again, and the emblem was still shining behind the leader.
At this moment, a young and handsome man took the stage, wearing a special badge on his chest.
Xu Kai compared the uniform on TV with the one in his hands.
The only difference was the number on the chest badge.
- T00812a
Oh my god! Is this for real?
Xu Kai clutched the uniform tightly, his heart pounding fiercely in his chest.
The phone at his side kept lighting up.
Xu Kai opened it to see a reply from Song Jixing.
Song Jixing: No, but you can take a closer look.
At this moment, Xu Kai had a lot he wanted to say to Song Jixing, questions he wanted to ask her, but he knew it wasn't the right time yet.
Let him freak out first, then calm down!
Adjust his mindset before talking to Song Jixing.
Xu Kai opened the family group chat, watching his elders and juniors discussing endlessly, feeling immensely proud.
For the first time in his life, he typed an ellipsis to address the group:
Stop guessing nonsense! Wait for the official news! We must trust the nation unconditionally!!!!
Then he dropped his phone, staring at the person on TV, covering his mouth and screaming silently!
Aaahhhhhh!
I had no idea I was so awesome!
