I hope you all like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan placed her hands on the keys, and a melody as crisp as wind chimes, as gentle as a stream, flowed softly from her fingertips, making every heart tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were sometimes exquisitely tender, as if caressing a lover’s skin, brimming with warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At other times, they became fiercely intense—her finger speed so fast it created afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slender fingers danced like a magnificent performer, moving with passionate energy across the black and white keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With dazzling fingerwork, Luo Quan wove a beautiful, moving piece of music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the song ended, Luo Quan lowered her head, lost in rapture, savoring the lingering resonance of her own performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face, flawless as a sculpture, bathed in the glow of the music, evoked the image of Apollo from ancient Greek myth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This god was the embodiment of light, of talent, of beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though describing a woman as Apollo isn’t quite fitting, upon closer thought, it seemed only he could capture it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Venus represents only beauty, while what Luo Quan expressed now went far beyond her physical appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing some fans found slightly disappointing was that the melody of this song was a bit simple—typical pop music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was pleasant to listen to, but unlikely to make it into textbooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luo Quan knew these fans’ thoughts, she’d surely laugh and shake her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, she sang most of her songs simply because they were beautiful and she wanted to share them with her fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting into textbooks was never her goal—just like this song meeting, everyone came to the livestream to relax; no one truly expected to watch a textbook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that doesn’t mean music in textbooks is unappealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, the music in textbooks is almost always classic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But appreciating these classics requires a certain threshold—not all classical music is as universally accessible as Canon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan can’t please everyone, so she chooses to please the majority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Memories of Summer, Longing for Home” is exactly such a pop-style instrumental—perhaps its melody is simple, with much repetition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that repeated melody is undeniably catchy, unforgettable, something you instantly fall in love with and set as your ringtone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now, the live chat was flooded with collective “internet depression” over this moving melody of “Memories of Summer, Longing for Home”:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I miss the past—my hometown’s scenery is forever out of reach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hope and sorrow are both beams of light falling into life; perhaps we all carry unspeakable regrets, hidden in tears, buried in time, lost in stubbornness, finally dissolving into the crowd.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Summer’s gone—this year is truly ending.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The young aren’t afraid of leaving home, but they long for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We graduated, and our old classmates rarely get together—when our glasses clink, it’s the sound of dreams shattering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, paid long-form comments hung in the livestream, and Luo Quan read them out one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, they were quite well-written—solid examples of middle-schooler-style sentimental tearjerker quotes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If used in essays, such phrasing would definitely earn extra points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But posting them suddenly in a livestream felt overly dramatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they were copied and pasted from internet depression platforms, that wasn’t surprising—those comment sections all look like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, Shuai Gou’s comment section was like a story club, where everyone was making up tales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So neither app’s users should judge the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the internet depression quotes didn’t stall the song meeting for long—after reading a few, Luo Quan moved on to the next song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with just the second song, the livestream’s viewership had already surpassed 45 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This number was more than half again higher than her usual livestreams—clearly, the song meeting had tremendous appeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To push the song meeting’s popularity to a new peak, Luo Quan began ramping up the intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third song: “Torture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you had to pick one song from Luo Quan’s Chinese repertoire that could blow the ceiling off, “Torture” and “Little River Flowing” were the only two choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One pop, one folk—the former with powerful chest voice, the latter with ethereal head voice; both had extremely high pitches and complex techniques, the kind rarely attempted online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few Bilibili updaters skilled in high notes had posted covers, but none captured Luo Quan’s essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So only she could do it right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she performed “Torture,” the trending list was completely dominated—five of the top ten entries were related to her; anyone on Weibo that night knew Luo Quan was hosting a song meeting on Bilibili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who didn’t watch knew exactly what she sang, because the trending list was filled with nothing but song titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was likely her first time since returning to dominate Weibo’s trending list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she’d topped the list before, it was usually just one or two keywords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, five entries made the top ten—it was truly “spectacular.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many netizens joked that if all the artists from Quan Shui Entertainment suddenly released big hits together, what kind of spectacle would unfold? Would they just take over the entire trending list?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the rapid growth of Quan Shui Entertainment’s artists, that day might truly come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, clearly, Luo Quan wasn’t the only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than an hour after she dominated the trending list, the real powerhouse arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Ge, whom we hadn’t seen in over a year, finally had news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been detained due to improper romantic relationships, awaiting investigation and evidence collection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the case was largely resolved, the verdict delivered: thirteen years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Luo Quan’s knowledge, this was the longest sentence ever handed down in the entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were fined, forced to apologize, or blacklisted at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qian Ge was exceptional—thirteen years in prison, setting a precedent on the mainland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the news was so explosive, related people and events immediately flooded the trending list, pushing Luo Quan down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now netizens flocked to this major scandal, and Luo Quan's popularity dropped noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan and her fans didn’t know—once she started singing, she couldn’t stop, performing until midnight before finally finishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d planned to continue, but fans worried about her voice, saying four hours of singing was already exhausting—two more hours would be unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she pushed that hard, losing her voice the next day would be the least of it; damaging her vocal cords would be tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haven’t you seen how many singers, by middle age, suffer from hearing loss or voice deterioration?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that because they pushed too hard in their youth—wearing headphones constantly belting high notes, overusing their bodies, only to pay the price as they aged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fans knew Luo Quan had exceptional talent, but precisely because of that, they needed to cherish this rare gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when it was time to rest, rest—don’t get swept up in the energy and force yourself to sing six hours straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Singing might feel exhilarating, but the consequences could be unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, amid countless fan pleas, Luo Quan signed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time ever, fans begged her to stop streaming—previously, they’d begged her to start, constantly calling her a lazy fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that she was truly being dedicated, they couldn’t bear to let her go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan never told them that her current physical condition was beyond ordinary human limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even six hours—sixteen hours of singing wouldn’t cause her any serious issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pure Void Jade Body enhanced her physical attributes comprehensively—not just defense, but durability too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she genuinely had the capacity to sing this long, and afterward, her body would suffer no harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if she said this, few would believe her—fans would only urge her not to overexert herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just her body—her spirit was also fully replenished; singing for four hours left her utterly unfatigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she began refining pills with the Three Pure Fires, her essence, energy, and spirit had become boundless, as if never depleting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, she could feel a warm current surging in her lower abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan guessed this must be the human dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, it was the lower dantian, since humans have three dantians: upper, middle, and lower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper dantian lies at the third eye, the gateway to the Dao, the repository of the spirit, containing the celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots—most precious and invaluable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle dantian is at the shanzhong point, the center of the chest, most vibrant with life, and connects the upper and lower dantians—extremely important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lower dantian, the most widely known dantian, also called the qi sea, lies three inches below the navel, the repository of life, where true qi rises and falls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men storing essence and women nurturing embryos rely on cultivation of the lower dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person’s vitality, life or death, is intimately tied to the strength of the lower dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, Luo Quan had merely known such a thing existed within the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuxia TV dramas often featured the line “sink the qi into the dantian”—whenever this line appeared, actors would cross-legged sit down and place one hand above the other between their knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those stories, whether training or injured, the hero’s first action was always to sink the qi into the dantian and circulate internal power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a child, she had imitated “sinking the qi into the dantian” more than once, hoping to gain abilities and become a martial arts master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even when she strained her face crimson, the end result was always the urge to urinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, looking back, she found that childishness amusing—but she never imagined she would actually cultivate it, and more powerfully than any martial arts master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the dantian, it was no longer merely a gathering place for qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could use the spiritual qi within her three dantians, with her body as a crucible, to refine a Golden Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet so far, she had not even glimpsed the shadow of a Golden Core, and had no idea when she might succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But each time the spiritual qi completed a small heavenly cycle within her body, her strength increased slightly—something she could clearly perceive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the steadily increasing attributes on her system panel proved her “alchemical art” was genuinely effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these, the Three Pure Fires had played a crucial role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although during her battle with Bai Xingwei, it had achieved little, shattered by Bai Xingwei’s single Sword of Vast Emptiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in her current cultivation, it held an indispensable position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, she hadn’t understood why her “random innate skill suited to herself” had randomly granted her this one, which seemed utterly unrelated to her offensive methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she understood—and was immensely grateful to have randomly obtained such a powerful skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Infinite Blade Formation, her offensive power was no longer a weakness; the critical issue became how to become more resilient and accumulate greater spiritual qi reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Three Pure Fires had perfectly solved this problem—worth more to her than a mountain of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>",2225,"2026-06-20T22:54:06.151Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3135f6e4e65492f3843d46c96d16ebb596cb40bab95aa564b16dfac489302183","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-962","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-960",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
