The Journey to Godhood in Another World

Before the second episode of "I Am a Composer" even started, the recording date for the third episode of "Heavenly Children's Voices" arrived as scheduled.

After the confusion and tension of the first two games, Xiang Wanwan now seems like a sapling that has quietly grown after weathering the storm, exuding a rare calm and composure.

She sat quietly in the corner, her hands gently resting on her knees, her head slightly tilted back, a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she were silently encouraging herself.

She recalled the feeling of her heart pounding, her palms sweating, and even her throat tightening with nervousness during the first two matches. Looking at herself now, a faint smile appeared on her lips. She knew that she was gradually transforming and becoming braver.

Xiang Nan sat down next to Wanwan. She looked at her younger sister tenderly, gently brushed the stray hairs behind Wanwan's ear, and said softly, "Wanwan, don't be nervous. I believe you will do a great job today. No matter the result, you will always be the best in my heart."

Wanwan looked up and saw her sister's eyes full of love and encouragement. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. She held her sister's hand, nodded obediently, and replied, "Sister, I'm not nervous anymore. I'm very calm now. And the song I sang today is for you. Thank you for always being so good to me and for never abandoning me no matter what happens."

As she spoke, Wanwan's eyes reddened slightly. She recalled the difficult days of the past. Her sister worked hard from dawn till dusk every day to raise money for her surgery, saving every penny, but always keeping the best for herself. Even during the dark time when she was bullied, her sister never complained and always stayed by her side, encouraging her to face life bravely.

Soon, it was Xiang Wanwan's turn to perform. She took a deep breath, stood up, and straightened her snow-white dress. The lace trim on the hem swayed gently with her movements, as if cheering her on.

With light yet firm steps, Wanwan walked towards the center of the stage, the spotlight gradually enveloping her, as if draping her in a dreamy veil.

After standing in the center of the stage, Wanwan first bowed gracefully to the audience and judges below the stage. That deep bow was full of her respect and gratitude to everyone.

Then, she raised her head, her gaze slowly sweeping over every corner of the audience, a gentle smile on her face, and said in her clear and melodious voice, "I want to dedicate this song to my sister, to thank her for her unwavering support."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. Her sincere emotions seemed to permeate the air through her voice, moving everyone deeply.

Just then, a soothing and moving melody began to play, like a gentle spring breeze that softly caressed people's hearts.

Xiang Wanwan closed her eyes slightly and took another deep breath, as if she wanted to pour all her emotions into the song she was about to sing.

When the first note floated from her lips, the entire venue seemed to fall silent, and everyone was immersed in her pure and deeply affectionate voice.

You were the first to find me.

The more expressionless one's face, the sadder one is inside.

......"

As she sang every night, memories of her time with her sister kept flashing through her mind.

Once, she was bullied by those bad kids at school again. She held back her tears and went home, trying her best to act like nothing was wrong. But her sister saw through her disguise at a glance. She didn't ask anything, but just silently came over and hugged her with heartache. At that moment, Wanwan leaned against her sister's warm embrace, and all her grievances turned into silent tears, soaking her sister's clothes.

Thinking about these things, Wanwan's voice trembled slightly, and her fingers turned slightly white from the force she exerted, but her singing became even more affectionate, conveying her feelings to everyone present through every note.

"So when I trembled without shedding a tear,

You'll hold me close to your chest with a tender heart.

......"

Wanwan's singing echoed in the air, and the audience listened quietly, many with tears welling up in their eyes.

A young mother held her child in her arms, looking at Wanwan with eyes full of emotion, and whispered to her child, "Baby, look how sensible this older sister is. Her sister must be a very good person. They have such a good relationship."

You understand me better than anyone else.

The inner desire is greater than the outward appearance.

......"

Wanwan continued singing, her eyes slightly open, a gentle look of reminiscence in them. It was as if she could see her sister accompanying her through countless nights, dreaming of the future together, encouraging her not to give up on her dreams, and that even if she couldn't see, she could still feel the beauty of the world with her heart.

Her body swayed gently to the rhythm of the music, as if she were telling her unseen sister what was on her mind.

So when I broke my wing

You didn't help me up, but you accompanied me in learning to endure pain.

......"

When she sang this line, Wanwan's voice became more resolute. She recalled the dark days she had spent in the shadows. Although her sister couldn't immediately bring her back to the light, she was always there for her, teaching her to be strong and to grow through pain, just like she was helping her repair her broken wings, giving her the courage to embrace life again and pursue her dreams.

Wanwan's face radiated a unique glow, a deep respect and gratitude for her sister that emanated from the bottom of her heart.

As the song progressed, Wanwan's voice became increasingly melodious and beautiful, and each lyric unfolded on the stage like a warm story.

"I want to see the farthest place."

We danced and talked about our dreams.

It's like I've never been disappointed or hurt.

I still believe that if you dare to fly, there is a sky to be found.

......"

As Wanwan sang these lines, her face was full of hopeful smiles. She seemed to see herself and her sister standing in that distant, hopeful future, holding hands and happily sharing their dreams. All the past pain had vanished, leaving only beautiful hopes and a love for life.

Her hands unconsciously waved in the air, as if depicting a beautiful scene, radiating a positive and uplifting light that infected everyone in the audience.

As the last lyric faded and the music gradually subsided, the entire recording studio fell silent. It was as if everyone was still immersed in Wanwan's heartfelt singing and the heartwarming story, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

A moment later, as if a dormant volcano had suddenly erupted, enthusiastic applause instantly resounded throughout the entire venue. The applause was mixed with cheers and shouts from the audience, wave after wave, without stopping for a long time.

"Her sister is truly a wonderful sister," a spectator exclaimed sincerely, clapping enthusiastically while wiping tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Go Wanwan, you're awesome!" A young girl stood up, raised her hands high, and shouted loudly. Her face was filled with excitement and admiration, and she never lowered her thumb.

"A strange sadness welled up in my heart. Keep going, kid!" An old man murmured softly, his lips trembling slightly. He looked at Wanwan as if she were his own granddaughter, full of heartache and love. His cane tapped the ground lightly with each round of applause, as if keeping time for Wanwan.

"The song is good, the lyrics are good, and the singing is even better." A man wearing glasses nodded repeatedly in praise. His gaze remained fixed on Wanwan, his eyes filled with appreciation and recognition. He thought to himself that this young girl was really amazing, bringing a different kind of surprise to every competition.

"Fly high, soar high! We'll always be your strong support. Take care..."

A woman shouted through tears. Although her voice was somewhat drowned out by the thunderous applause, her sincere blessing was clearly conveyed. She hoped that Wanwan could go further and further on the road to pursuing her dreams and always keep this innocence and courage.

"You sang so well, so well, so well! You are the best and the most beautiful!" A group of children shouted along, their faces full of bright smiles. Their energetic voices echoed throughout the venue, adding a unique touch to the lively atmosphere.

……

Standing in the center of the stage, looking at the enthusiastic audience below and listening to the words of encouragement and praise, tears welled up in her eyes again—tears of emotion and tears of happiness.

She knew that her singing not only conveyed her gratitude to her sister, but also touched everyone present. She would carry this love and support with her and continue to walk firmly on the path of music, to pursue the farthest place, and to realize her dreams.
