Brother, just how powerful is our family?

By the end of April, Huai County was no longer the quiet little town in the Central Plains it had been a year ago.

The once empty fields now stand as a continuous cluster of antique-style buildings.

The once deserted streets are now bustling with traffic and crowds of people.

The investment from Huanyu Group was like a shot in the arm for this county town, with chip industrial parks, materials companies, university towns...

One project after another sprang up, creating tens of thousands of jobs.

But the most eye-catching feature is the ancient mythology film and television base, which covers an area of ​​fifty square kilometers.

Driving west from Huai County town for just twenty minutes, a breathtaking scene comes into view.

The majestic mountain range stretches endlessly, with the highest peak piercing the clouds. That is the "Buzhou Mountain" reconstructed according to ancient records.

The mountain is constructed of special materials, which gleam with a bluish-gray luster under the sunlight. Clouds and mist swirl around its waist, and the summit is hidden in the clouds, as if it truly connects with heaven and earth.

At the foot of the mountain lies the vast "primordial continent".

There are mighty rivers that meander for thousands of miles, with surging waters; there is the vast East China Sea, with waves crashing against the shore; there are dense primeval forests, with ancient trees reaching for the sky; there are rolling hills and plains, full of vitality.

There are also magnificent palace complexes.

In the East, there is the "Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan," with thirty-three layers of celestial palaces, resplendent in gold and jade, surrounded by swirling clouds.

The highest palace, Lingxiao Palace, with its flying eaves and brackets, is shrouded in auspicious energy, as if millions of demons were truly worshipping there.

In the West, there is a "sacred land of the witch clan," where twelve ancestral witch temples, each with a distinct style, stand majestically.

The Houtu Hall is dignified and imposing, the Gonggong Hall is filled with misty vapor, and the Zhurong Hall is ablaze with flames... Each palace contains the corresponding Daoist laws of the Ancestral Witches.

In the center is the "Zixiao Palace", located on the top of Buzhou Mountain. It is simple and unadorned, yet it exudes a Taoist charm. It is the place where the Taoist patriarch Hongjun preached.

There are also scenes that only appear in mythology, such as the "Blood Sea and Styx River", the "Western Spirit Mountain", and the "Kunlun Jade Void", all of which have been brought to life on this fifty-square-kilometer land.

"This is so amazing..."

This is the heartfelt sentiment of everyone who comes here.

The construction of the film and television base utilized the advanced technology of the Huanyu Group.

Holographic projection creates special effects, and the intelligent control system simulates weather changes...

But what's even more astonishing is that everything here is "truly" terrifying.

The stones of Buzhou Mountain feel cold and hard to the touch, with natural rock textures; the Yellow River's water churns with silt as it flows, and there is real water vapor and the sound of waves; the trees in the forest are truly growing, only their growth rate has been accelerated a hundredfold by genetic technology.

"This isn't a film set," an excited historian who came to investigate said. "This is an archaeological excavation of civilization, a tangible representation of our nation's collective memory!"

In the last few days of April, the film and television base welcomed its most important guests: the entire cast and crew of the TV series "The Long Song of China".

The ancient mythology segment and the Shang and Zhou tribal segment of the historical segment will be filmed simultaneously.

The selection of actors, after months of online voting and expert review, has finally been finalized.

At the entrance of the base, a huge holographic projection screen scrolls through the list of main actors and their costume photos.

Tao Jie, who plays Nuwa.

In the photo, Sister Tao is dressed in a seven-colored robe, with a human body and a snake tail. Her face is both compassionate and dignified, and she is surrounded by an aura of creation.

This is the candidate who received the most votes from netizens; her portrayal of Mazu is deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

That perfect fusion of motherhood, divinity, and majesty was exactly what Nuwa needed.

The top-rated comment reads: "Seeing Sister Tao's Nuwa, I believe that the human race was truly created with her heart..."

The actor who plays Pangu has not been named; he is only referred to as "Kaitian" (meaning "creator of heaven").

The official photos revealed an unprecedented image that shocked everyone.

He was a full 2.3 meters tall, with bulging muscles that didn't look bulky; every muscle seemed to contain the power to create the world.

His face was as if carved by a knife and axe, his thick eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were as deep as stars, his long hair was loose, and he held a huge axe that could split the heavens.

What's most special is his eyes; they're not the kind of eyes an actor can pull off.

Those were the eyes of someone who had truly experienced chaos and personally cleaved the heavens and earth—weathered, resolute, selfless, and fearless.

The production team's official statement: "The actor playing Pangu underwent a special selection process, with his appearance designed by experts from multiple fields including history, mythology, anthropology, and art. To maintain an air of mystery and the purity of the role, the actor's information is kept confidential."

No one knew that this "Pangu" was actually a bio-engineered human created by Qin Feng.

Every expression and every movement of his was programmed by Qin Feng to be in line with the mythological imagination.

Master Qingxu plays Hongjun.

A true Taoist master, with white hair and beard, flowing Taoist robes, holding a whisk, his eyes as indifferent as the Way of Heaven.

He is not an actor, but the vice president of the Longguo Taoist Association, who volunteered to participate in this cultural event.

"Hongjun is the embodiment of the Dao, not something that can be acted out, but something that can be cultivated," said Master Qingxu in an interview. "I am willing to use this body to demonstrate the Great Dao."

Chen Daoming plays the role of Demon Ancestor Rahu.

In the promotional photos, Chen Daoming is dressed in black magic armor, with long crimson hair and a domineering gaze that looks down on the world.

He held the God-Slaying Spear, with countless corpses beneath his feet and an endless demonic realm behind him.

Netizens commented: "Teacher Chen's domineering presence is amazing! He plays an emperor in righteous paths and a demon ancestor in demonic paths—absolutely incredible!"

The most eye-catching aspect is the participation of the three siblings, Qin Feng, Qin Yang, and Qin Yao.

Qin Feng plays the role of the Demon Emperor Jun.

Qin Yang, who plays Donghuang Taiyi.

This is the choice with a support rate as high as 98.7% in the online poll results.

When the official photos were released, the entire internet went wild.

In the photo, Qin Feng is wearing a golden imperial robe, a Heavenly Emperor's crown, and holding the Hetu Luoshu, sitting on the imperial throne in the Lingxiao Palace.

His face was handsome and majestic, his eyes were calm but contained the aura of ruling over all the heavens, his body was surrounded by the true fire of the sun, and ten suns stretched across the sky behind him.

Qin Yang, dressed in silver-white armor and holding the Chaos Bell, stood beside Qin Feng.

His demeanor became even sharper, his eyes like swords, as if he were ready at any moment to fight for his brother and the demon race in the primordial world.

The two brothers stand side by side, one ruling over all demons and the other conquering all directions, perfectly matching the brotherly relationship between Di Jun and Tai Yi in mythology.

What's even more ingenious is that their real-life identities—founders of the Universal Group, creators of the Yanhuang civilization, and powerful figures with interstellar fleets—form a strange correspondence with the identity of the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan.

One netizen aptly summarized: "In reality, Qin Feng founded the Yanhuang civilization and ruled the future; in mythology, Di Jun established the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court and ruled the primordial world. This isn't acting; this is him playing himself!"
