Chapter 94: The Flesh-and-Blood Transmigrator Facing Facing Cang Luo
Liu Jing never once believed the video titled "Video from Another World" was genuinely filmed; he merely thought it was a special effects short, and though the video quality was poor, the CGI effects were world-class.
It was normal for him to think so—who could possibly believe that someone had crossed over to another world and sent back a video?
After pinning the video to the homepage of the platform, Liu Jing watched it again, yet still did not suspect it was real; after finishing, he returned to work.
Tenglong Video was the online video platform with the most users in Huaxia, with daily user views numbering in the tens of millions, even hundreds of millions.
That meant one in every several dozen Huaxian people had used Tenglong Video that day, some via the website, others via the Tenglong Video app.
After Facing Facing Cang Luo's video was pinned by major video platforms, it was quickly viewed by countless netizens, all drawn in by the video's exaggerated subtitle and clicking to watch.
In just ten minutes, Facing Facing Cang Luo's video reached one hundred thousand plays.
Many netizens clicked the video creator's name after watching, hoping to find other videos—but discovered there was only this one.
Disappointed, they left comments beneath the video and shared it to their personal Moments, praising the creator's special effects and suggesting he pursue a career in film.
Some netizens commented, asking if there were other videos, when the second episode would be released, and so on.
Many others asked which martial arts school the video was filmed at—why were all the girls in it so gorgeous?
Unfortunately, Facing Facing Cang Luo was en route to the Monster Forest and had not yet checked the comments, let alone replied to them one by one.
Where there was praise, there was also criticism: some netizens called the video's plot utterly boring, saying they would have closed it instantly if not for the effects.
Others directly mocked the filming equipment as garbage—how could such high-quality effects be shot on a phone? The creator must be blind!
Some even attacked the video creator's name, calling him otaku and asking, "Earth's first transmigrator? Why not just call yourself a cultivator?"
Whether positive or negative, all evaluations contributed substantial views and exposure to Facing Facing Cang Luo's video.
As countless netizens commented, liked, and shared, Facing Facing Cang Luo's video views climbed steadily; after being pinned for one hour, it reached one million plays!
More and more people watched, yet not a single person believed the video was genuinely filmed—everyone assumed the two-headed wolf, flames, smoke, and sword qi were all special effects...
Only when the video had been pinned for three hours and its play count reached a terrifying eight million did one netizen's comment spark heated discussion.
This netizen's username was "SFXKilledYou," and his certification listed him as a senior special effects artist at a certain film and culture company.
He commented: "I am a senior special effects artist with nearly a decade of experience. I watched this video ten times and analyzed it with professional software, and I ultimately concluded that the 'special effects' in this video are not special effects at all!"
I suspect the 'effects' in this video were genuinely filmed; whether it was shot in another world, I cannot confirm.
Anyone else have the same doubts?"
As soon as this comment appeared, it caused a storm—netizens immediately liked and replied to it.
Most of those replying mocked him, asking if his special effects certification was bought, or calling him an idiot for believing someone could truly transmigrate.
But a small minority of netizens commented that they too had similar doubts—they had analyzed the video and said the effects did not resemble computer-generated imagery.
These few netizens were mostly professionals in related fields; they @-ed each other and brought in many film special effects experts to analyze the video.
These experts even created a dedicated group to discuss the video, analyzing how the effects were made and checking for any signs of post-production manipulation.
After two hours of analysis and discussion, they reached an unbelievable conclusion.
All experts unanimously agreed: the 'special effects' in this video were not effects—they were real, live-recorded footage, just as "SFXKilledYou" had concluded.
The experts were stunned, unable to understand how the video was filmed or produced—were high-tech props used? Was the two-headed wolf a robot? Was the glowing sword just a prop?
But where on Earth was there such advanced robotics?
And what about the glowing sword? Glowing was simple—just install an LED—but how was the sword qi produced?
The experts could not figure it out, so they published their analysis conclusions and the original video on major websites and international forums, inviting global netizens to discuss and analyze it, hoping someone might offer an explanation.
When countless netizens saw this conclusion, they were stunned—this video wasn't computer-generated? It was genuinely filmed?
How could that be?
Were the two-headed wolf and the light-sword high-tech products? If so, they were far too advanced!
Or was the video truly filmed in another world? Was the video creator, "Earth's First Transmigrator," actually a transmigrator who filmed in another world and sent the footage back to Earth?
How could such a thing be possible?!
Countless netizens refused to believe the conclusion, yet could not explain how the two-headed wolf and the light-sword existed.
Netizens flooded the video's comment section asking "Earth's First Transmigrator" if he had truly transmigrated—but received no reply from the creator.
However, some netizens suspected the video and the experts' conclusion were a scam, staged purely for profit and hype.
This suspicion gained support from many netizens—after all, transmigration existed only in novels; how could it happen in reality?
So these skeptical netizens immediately began doxxing the video creator "Earth's First Transmigrator," determined to expose the fraud.
Netizens' power was not to be underestimated; moreover, Facing Facing Cang Luo was a Tenglong Video user—he had not created a new account when uploading the video, but used his original account, merely temporarily changing his nickname to "Earth's First Transmigrator."
Thus, Facing Facing Cang Luo's Tenglong Video account contained abundant usage traces, including registration information.
Netizens followed these traces and quickly uncovered his personal information, publishing it online.
"Earth's First Transmigrator's" real name was Facing Facing Cang Luo, male, 22 years old...
After Facing Facing Cang Luo's personal information was doxxed, netizens rushed to Baidu to search for related data.
Yet something utterly unexpected happened.
When netizens entered "Facing Facing Cang Luo" as a search term on Baidu, the following message appeared: "According to relevant laws, regulations, and policies, some search results have been withheld."
The vast majority of netizens were stunned!
What was going on? Why were search results hidden? Had Baidu joined the scam?
One netizen commented: "Could Facing Facing Cang Luo have truly transmigrated? Did the state discover it already? Is this why they banned searches for secrecy?"
Most netizens laughed and replied that he had read too many xianxia novels.
Only a few believed it, and they intensified their doxxing efforts—but still found no information about Facing Facing Cang Luo, not even any similar location to the martial arts school in the video.
Once again, the vast majority of netizens were stunned.
Was "Facing Facing Cang Luo" a fictional person? Did he not exist at all?
But if he didn't exist, why was he censored?
Netizens were deeply perplexed.
How could they possibly know that information about Facing Facing Cang Luo had long been sealed away by Feng Lin Huo Shan? Because nations across Earth needed to ensure the public remained unaware of Facing Facing Cang Luo's transmigration; otherwise, global chaos would surely erupt.
The existence of the Yuanwu Continent is not yet suitable for ordinary people to learn of.
However, even the most meticulous plans have flaws; a netizen suddenly discovered on Weibo a user account with the exact same name: 'Earth's First Transmigrator'.
The account's bio read: 'My name is Facing Facing Cang Luo. I am Earth's First Transmigrator. I am currently on the Yuanwu Continent. My family on Earth is under threat; I urgently need the help of netizens across Earth...'
The profile picture was that of the scruffy youth who won the martial contest in the video, except the man in the photo had shaved his beard, though it was still clear it was the same person.
This Weibo user also posted a message; the content was a link, and the address pointed exactly to the URL of that 'Video from Another World'.
This Weibo post was indeed Facing Facing Cang Luo's; he had just opened the account and it was not yet officially verified by Weibo, though officials from Weibo had already contacted him; Facing Facing Cang Luo simply had not replied to the message yet.
The netizen who discovered Facing Facing Cang Luo's Weibo was delighted at first, but upon reading the bio, he immediately shook his head and laughed: 'Hehe! You're really in character, aren't you? Do you actually believe you transmigrated?'
After laughing, this netizen posted news of discovering Facing Facing Cang Luo's Weibo; upon learning this, countless netizens followed, commented, and reposted.
One netizen commented, asking: 'Old iron, did you really transmigrate? Where is the Yuanwu Continent?'
Another netizen commented, laughing: 'Hehe, do you really believe someone transmigrated? This is obviously a scam, okay? It's just hype.'
Another netizen wrote in the comments: 'Hello, blogger. I am an HR representative from XX Film and Culture Company. We sincerely invite you to join our company as Chief Special Effects Artist...'
Countless netizens left comments; some believed Facing Facing Cang Luo had transmigrated, while others did not, but overall, disbelief was the majority view.
Thus, the two opposing sides of netizens began hurling insults under the 'Earth's First Transmigrator' Weibo account; for this reason, the term 'Transmigrator' even trended on the hot search list.
Just as the two sides of netizens were arguing furiously, 'Earth's First Transmigrator' suddenly posted a new Weibo message.
Facing Facing Cang Luo wrote on Weibo: 'Netizens of Earth, please pay attention. I will soon release some evidence to prove that I have indeed transmigrated to the Yuanwu Continent.'
This Weibo post also included an image: a selfie of Facing Facing Cang Luo and the mutated Fire-Devouring Wolf Ha Ha, with the background showing the towering giant firs of the Demon Beast Mountain Forest...
