Wrote a chapter while suffering from severe waist and leg pain—please support with a subscription.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main text:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the Dawnlight, Tvashtar had placed many items inside the ring—mostly high-quality cultivation materials, a few of which made Bai Xingwei marvel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if you don’t practice the Dawn Church’s cultivation art, most of these materials will lose much of their effectiveness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So despite how abundant they appear, altogether they’re worth less than the Dawnlight Meteor alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei’s words cooled Luo Quan’s excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, no one would treat her kindly without reason or condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least the Dawnlight Meteor was already a great gain; as for Tvashtar’s talk of becoming a Holy Mother or joining the Dawn Church, she had zero interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything tied to religion inevitably came with rigid rules, and Luo Quan was among those who hated being bound the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying “better dead than unfree” was exaggerated, but she generally avoided anything with too many restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simpler the terms, the better—no word games for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even though Tvashtar’s contract terms seemed sincere and he offered a top-tier artifact as a gift, the more generous he was, the more Luo Quan suspected his intentions were grand—and the more wary she became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Luo Quan had overreacted, ignoring how far religious devotees would go for their faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a saying: only fools and saints believe flowers can bloom from stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That describes people like Tvashtar—they treat faith as everything, willing to die for vague legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the Dawn Church truly had no ill intent toward Luo Quan; she had simply overreacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a foreign land, caution never hurts; right now, the Dawn Church will likely pay close attention to her—she hoped their shadows wouldn’t follow her everywhere in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Xingwei rejected this wish, since many capital interests on the Universal Star owned Dawn Church assets—they were among the wealthiest religious organizations on the planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, a parliamentary state wouldn’t let a religious group control such vast wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Dawn Church relinquished most of its soldiers, gaining unrestricted commercial freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the already colossal Divine Protection Federation, this was undoubtedly a brilliant move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply giving up ordinary military power—now largely useless—gained them commercial privileges, a win for any organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Dawn Church only gave up recruitment of common soldiers; elite cultivators could still remain as honored guests, preserving their high-level combat strength while losing only expendable pawns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, the Dawn Church’s commercial empire flourished and now spanned the entire Universal Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not yet too powerful to control, Luo Quan had no desire to touch them—and it was unlikely she could avoid them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was too naive,” Luo Quan tapped her head, banishing all her wild thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden appearance by the Dawn Church had thrown her into disarray—that wasn’t right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though powerful, they weren’t an all-controlling giant, and she was still within the borders of the Holy Tang Celestial Dynasty—no need to fear being ambushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worst case, she still had Bai Xingwei and the Wu Shen Palace backing her; once she realized this, confidence returned to her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re smiling so broadly—is it because of the Dawn Church or the upcoming Anniversary Gala?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei saw Luo Quan’s crooked grin again and knew she was certain about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time she’d seen that smile was on the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not against her, but against another seed contestant—a noble-born warrior who’d thought victory was assured, only to find himself shattered at the first touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Luo Quan wore the same expression—no one knew why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course it’s the Anniversary Gala,” Luo Quan sipped Cloud Mist Mountain tea. “Of all my abilities, I’m most confident in artistic performance. Though I come from a small place, I believe my works aren’t inferior to those from major centers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you spoil it a little?” Bai Xingwei rubbed her hands with a grin; she always loved uncovering secrets and hated people dragging things out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That might not be appropriate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan looked troubled, but remembering all Bai Xingwei had done for her, she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot: “It depends—do you want the full details or just the general idea?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clear details are best,” Bai Xingwei chuckled. “Don’t worry—my mouth is tighter than the Holy Tang Bank’s vault. Not a single word will leak from me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you say that,” Luo Quan was a principled person, but for those close to her, she’d make exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned slowly toward Bai Xingwei’s ear and whispered her plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was so soft, only the two could hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you really that certain it’ll achieve your desired effect?” Bai Xingwei asked after hearing the plan, wondering if Luo Quan was overconfident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the best music creators couldn’t guarantee every composition would birth a Song Spirit—and Luo Quan was banking entirely on the next song producing one to win over the audience. Wasn’t that betting too much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan waved her hand lightly: “Don’t worry—I don’t know much, but this song is among my best works. If it can’t birth a Song Spirit, then nothing else I have stands a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I have to trust it—there’s no other option.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hearing you say that, it does make sense. I wish you success in your performance,” Bai Xingwei nodded, offering her blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dawn Church’s arrival didn’t greatly disrupt Luo Quan’s life; since Tvashtar left, she’d seen no more signs of church followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, as one of the ten main stars of the Beauty Grand Prize, Luo Quan received an invitation to appear on a promotional program.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early Anniversary Galas were entertainment-driven, funded purely by passion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thanks to thoughtful planning and high-quality performances, the Gala rapidly swept across the Universal Star and became the most famous year-end show, with viewership records broken every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a massive cake, of course, attracted capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the producers stayed true to their roots, refusing to let capital control production—only granting naming rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ensured the production team wouldn’t be corrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ample funding, the Gala’s quality steadily improved, and its reputation never dipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This virtuous cycle had become the Gala’s fixed operational model:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Announce a sensational lineup of star performances to attract sponsors, then have the stars perform preview acts before the official event to maximize buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the Gala’s major highlights, the Beauty Grand Prize naturally received maximum promotional resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the ten main stars, Luo Quan had to fulfill the show’s advertising demands upon accepting the invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their destination: the Holy Tang Celestial Dynasty Television Headquarters, personally overseen by the Gala’s director team, determined to stir up unprecedented heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the news, Luo Quan changed into the black-and-white hero costume from Bai Xingwei’s wardrobe and headed to the recording site with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Performers could bring a support group, mainly to prevent awkward silence in the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried one person might not be enough, Luo Quan called out to her fans on Universal Live—she had no idea how many would come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Earth, she’d never need to worry about cold crowds; the TV station’s security might even have to manage crowd control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the Universal Star, she was barely better than a newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet along the way, she noticed many people greeting her and calling her name—this reassured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, these people dressed plainly, suggesting their interest stemmed from learning she came from humble origins like them, not from superficial attraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those initially drawn by her looks probably weren’t the majority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t statistically verify this—she’d just assume it was her looks, not political correctness; if it were the latter, she’d inevitably face gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like your popularity isn’t as low as I thought—I was even planning to buy you some professional fans to boost the crowd.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside Luo Quan, Bai Xingwei naturally heard the shouts of her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not as massive as other stars’, the crowd was still respectable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s nothing to be proud of—I’m still near the bottom in popularity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan remained rational, not letting the unexpected fan turnout make her arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in the next instant, a woman with an absurdly perfect figure appeared—and Luo Quan instantly understood what “difference among stars” meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous roar erupted, like a rocket launch—deafening screams and cheers ignited the previously calm atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From countless mouths came a unified name: Xu Yanqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan thought she should have another word: “You Rong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for any other reason—she was simply enormous; conservatively estimated at H-cup, even her nearly 1.8-meter height made her figure feel unnaturally disproportionate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan had always wondered what a “eight-foot giantess” looked like in real life—Xu Yanqing gave her the perfect answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could’ve imagined that at such gatherings, she’d once been the one towering over others, now reduced to “just another”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made Xu Yanqing even more remarkable was that her beauty was genuinely a top-tier nine-level goddess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even ignoring her figure, she deserved every cheer and shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined, Luo Quan suspected she ranked among the top three in popularity among the ten beauties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any place, “white, young, and thin” was inferior to full, voluptuous curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was genetic—“white, young, and thin” rarely matched Xu Yanqing’s fertility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s an old Chinese saying: “This girl looks like she’s born to bear children”—you know exactly where they look to reach that conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it risks objectifying women, it’s largely true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given humanity’s deep emphasis on lineage and reproduction, the more fertile a woman, the more popular she becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know Xu Yanqing’s popularity ranking among the ten of us?” Even though Luo Quan had seen many top-tier beauties, Xu Yanqing was truly unprecedented—so she, too, stared a little longer with the fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei, hearing Luo Quan’s question, showed rare envy in her eyes: “She ranks second in popularity among the ten, and her fanbase is the most affluent—those over twenty-five.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, her figure wasn’t this extreme—still, compared to ordinary women, it was already imposing. Many online mocked her, and she’d even considered breast-reduction surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps after being criticized, she developed a rebellious streak—Xu Yanqing stopped restraining her development and became exactly what she is now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, people thought she was self-destructing—but after combining exercise with scientific fat gain, she became the undisputed “R-God” of the Universal Net, famous purely for her figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s a semi-musician skilled in multiple instruments; besides her beauty and figure, her virtuosic playing is another major fan magnet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing changes, she’ll be one of your biggest rivals in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not necessarily rivals,” Luo Quan rubbed her hands excitedly. “I can harmoniously interact with these beauties and grow together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, she’d already decided to recruit Xu Yanqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on Earth, Quan Shui Entertainment had started as a tiny company—now she planned to do the same, and Xu Yanqing was her first target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Bai Xingwei is interested, I’ve saved her the best unknown slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, Bai Xingwei guessed that the idol star thing didn’t interest her at all—she’d have to ask again later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Yanqing, from her attitude toward internet trolls, it was clear she was a person of genuine character; anyone with such a disposition typically had a positive image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the system had given her a hint, so she was determined to secure this R-Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was certainly not possible yet—her own popularity and heat were still lower than Xu Yanqing’s; she had no capital to extend an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she demonstrated her strength at this Anniversary Assembly, she would gain her first opportunity to invite Xu Yanqing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1933,"2026-06-20T22:54:06.151Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1860aca841315e7a480c5eaec614ddb6b306b8e64181f3ed048cb2cf6e9a7dce","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-982","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-980",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
