Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

"Is this Mr. Nova's latest creation? It's so wonderful, worthy of being a masterpiece by a master." After the last note faded away, Song Zi came back to his senses and said excitedly with a flushed face.

Nova smiled and shook his head. He pointed at Li Li and said, "It's not me. The composer of this song is the girl who is about to record it."

"She?!" Song Zi widened his eyes.

He was originally wondering why the work of Master Nova was performed by an unknown girl, but now he suddenly realized that the real author was actually the girl in front of him.

"Can we start recording?" Li Li ignored Song Zi's surprised look and asked impatiently.

Song Zi quickly responded: "Of course, you can adjust the balance between the accompaniment and the vocals first. By the way, what about the lyrics?"

“No magic chanting required.”

Song Zi was stunned. What was he talking about?

Li Li has stepped into the mysterious barrier, put on magic earrings, held the magic crystal microphone in one hand, and made a subtle magic gesture with the other hand, ready.

The sound of magical resonance echoed in her ears. Everyone outside the glass held their breath and concentrated. Li Li closed her eyes and slowly opened her lips.

Li Li's voice is neither as gorgeous as a gem nor as ethereal as a siren. It has a hint of hoarseness, and speaks softly and slowly like star dust...

Struggle, breakage, and rebirth, the sounds of metal clashing and mythical beasts seem to ring in my ears, as well as the mournful cry of a phoenix rising from the flames.

Everyone looked dazed, as if they were in an unprecedented fantasy war, unable to extricate themselves. Each of them played a corner of the battlefield, fighting against fate, struggling against pain, struggling to survive in the turmoil inside and outside themselves, and looking for a way through the fog.

If what they heard just now was a low hum from the human world, then what they heard at this moment was like a war cry from another world. The girl used a melody that was almost like chanting, in a mysterious language that no one could decipher, but she made everyone feel the depth of her emotions.

The last wailing faded away, Li Li opened her eyes and exhaled the pent-up magical energy, feeling extremely refreshed. She herself had not noticed that her busy magical career had caused a backlog of nameless emotions in her heart, which were finally released at this moment.

She turned her head and what came into view were motionless magical statues.

Li Li blinked in confusion. What on earth had happened?

“How is it?”

"How? You ask me how? Am I qualified to judge this issue?" Song Zi finally recovered from that strange situation, and Li Li's words shocked him.

He almost lost control, eager to wake her up, such talent asked me how? What was she thinking!

Song Zi has been immersed in magical music for many years and has witnessed countless musical geniuses, but when facing this song at this moment, he feels that what he heard in the past was just noise.

"Ms. Li, your singing has been lingering in my heart since we last met. Do you know that? When you sang this song, you were like a proud and fantastic queen who would protect her people at all costs." Butler used an exaggerated tone to praise Li Li to the best of his ability.

"What a great girl! I knew that only the combination of your singing and the magic piano sound could be the ultimate interpretation of this song! I can't wait to perform on the same stage with you!" Nova danced with excitement, his praise was beyond words.

This girl is like a magical elf that captivates people.

She is actually the guest of Master Nova's tour? Song Zi had no expression on his face and asked Ling You quietly: "Where did you meet such a fairy? No one in the music industry has ever heard of her. Could she be the last disciple accepted by your master?"

"No, she's just my friend." Ling You denied his guess, and the scene of his first meeting with Li Li emerged in his mind.

In the evening, in the gallery, the girl who stood in front of the painting for a long time exuded an air of mystery and stories. He watched silently from the side and somehow started chatting with her.

That step forward was one of the most fortunate choices in his life...

Song Zi originally thought that the recording would take a long time, but he only re-recorded a few mysterious details and the recording was completed quickly. He did not rely too much on magical modifications, believing that the most moving power of this song lies in the original emotion.

Accompanied by the magical accompaniment and the interweaving of vocals, Song Zi immediately guided the melody to flow out.

"What's the name of this song?" The question raised by Song Zi was exactly the question in the minds of everyone present.

Li Li's eyes flickered with a hazy light, as if immersed in a distant memory, "Its name is "The Wind Rises"."

The rising wind symbolizes the mighty waves of the river of challenge.

After thanking Song Zi, everyone prepared to leave. Nova and Butler also looked exhausted after the long journey.

At the moment of farewell, Song Zi shamelessly asked Nova for an invitation to a music feast. He couldn't imagine how shocking it would be to combine the piano music of Master Nova with the singing of the girl. He must be there in person to immerse himself in the magic of this song!

As night fell, Li Li lay on the bed, her hands folded behind her head, and today's recording echoed in her headphones. After a moment of contemplation, she picked up her phone and shared the song with Jiangnan.

The phone light flickered, the ringtone rang, and Jiangnan's call was instantly connected.

"Very beautiful. Which singer's work is this?"

"Ling You and his master and senior brother recorded it together today. Why aren't you taking a break?"

"Linjiang still has some documents to process."

Li Li's fingers paused for a moment. "It's so late, let's do it tomorrow. Are you still taking the herbal formula you were prescribed?"

"Yes, take it on time every day, and your sleep quality will be very good. You don't have to worry."

"You are so obedient." Li Li's words were like comforting a child.

Jiangnan chuckled, and the sound came through the phone line like warm fluff, making Li Li's ears itchy and giving her an inexplicable sense of comfort.

"Go to bed now, you have classes tomorrow."

"Okay, good night, you should go to bed early too."

"Good night."

Jiangnan turned on the screen of his cell phone. The girl on the screen showed bright eyes and a sweet smile. If Li Li were here, she would recognize at a glance that this was a photo of her birthday party.

He played the song sent by Li Li again. In fact, this was not the first time he listened to it. Although Jiang Nan did not show up at the banquet, he also watched the live images through secret methods.

The girl's singing echoed in the room, and Jiangnan thought that maybe in the future, he would no longer need to rely on drugs to find comfort.

----------------------

Nova's performances in China were limited to three cities: Imperial Capital, Hai City, and Lan City. Peng City was originally in the plan, but because of Li Li, it was eventually changed to Lan City.

There is still about a week before the concert. Nova's orchestra will go to the performance venue for rehearsal, and Li Li will also practice with Nova several times.

At this time, the crew of "The Tale of Dangun" also moved to Lancheng. They started filming in the closed Youlan Street. Jun Tangshi opened the door to convenience and even sent assistants to work with the crew, allowing them to make any requests.

Gu Liangxiu knew in his heart that all this was probably caused by Li Li, so he became more friendly towards Li Li.

The capital of Daxia was quiet and desolate. Horses galloped past, crushing fallen leaves. Knights in armor and holding guns shouted loudly, breaking the tranquility of the city.

In the western part of the capital, five thousand elite troops were stationed here. This was the last group of warriors that his father had left for Yu Qining. The rest of them were already fighting bravely on the front lines...

Yu Qining, wearing a magic feather cloak, stood at the edge of the camp, staring at the direction of the city gate, withered magic leaves dancing under her feet. It was late autumn, and the magic war that had lasted for three years had turned the once prosperous Magic City into a desolate ghost town.

"Princess, the messenger from the front line brought urgent information!" Yu Qining's adjutant approached with a nervous look on his face.

Yu Qining's face darkened, "Report it immediately."

The messenger walked into the tent, dusty and trembling, kneeling on the ground, his tone full of sorrow. Yu Qining immediately felt a chill sweeping over her, and she waved her hand to signal the others to leave.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!" she asked anxiously.

"Princess, your Majesty...your Majesty..."

"What happened to my father?" Yu Qining stood up suddenly, anxiety surging into his heart like a tide.

"His Majesty passed away in the frontier castle at midnight last night!" The messenger bowed his head to the ground, tears streaming down his face, unable to speak.

"What did you say?"

"My father passed away?" Yu Qining stood up in astonishment and said in a lost voice, "This is impossible! He wrote me a letter a few days ago. How could this be possible? Tell me! Are you a spy from the State of Chu, trying to undermine the morale of our army?!"

The sword flashed, and the magic sword in Yu Qining's hand was already against his throat, filled with murderous intent.

"What I said is absolutely true. Ten days ago, His Majesty was unfortunately wounded by an arrow on the battlefield and fell into a coma. He only woke up briefly twice, and he asked us to keep it secret and not to disclose the news of his injury. The night before, His Majesty's complexion improved slightly, and we all thought he was going to recover, but who would have thought..."

The sword fell to the ground with a ding, Yu Qining's face turned pale and his body shook.

"Did my father leave any words before he died?" she asked with chattering teeth.

The messenger took out an exquisitely carved wooden box and said, "This is something that His Majesty repeatedly asked me to give to the princess personally before my death."

Yu Qining took the box and said, "You go down first."

"As you command, I'll take my leave." The messenger left.

She opened the wooden box, which contained a magic letter written by her father, a royal decree with a gold border, and the emerald royal seal that symbolized imperial power.

The royal decree stated that the throne of the Great Xia Kingdom would be passed to the crown prince Yu Dangun, while the letter mentioned how to retreat wisely and survive if the enemy army invaded the capital. All the plans were ready.

Her father was still making plans for them until his death, leaving them a glimmer of hope.

There was only silence in the dark tent. After sitting there all night, Yu Qining summoned his adjutant.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discussing the battle situation on the front line with General Zuo."

The leader on the front line was gone, so what could be discussed? Yu Qining predicted that the Chu army would be at the gates of the city within ten days.

"Keep an eye on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and don't let him act rashly. Have the soldiers eat and drink as much as possible these few days, strengthen their drills, and stay vigilant at all times."

The adjutant hesitated for a moment and said, "But Princess, we have very little food and grass left. If we supply them in such large quantities, I'm afraid..."

Before the people in the capital migrated, they took almost all the food with them, and their reserves were also stretched thin.
