The Journey to Godhood in Another World

After finishing her major course, Luo Li walked slowly back to her dormitory. The campus of Shanghai University appeared exceptionally quiet in the afterglow of the evening, with dappled shadows cast by the trees on both sides of the road.

As she passed Lover's Lake, a melodious song drifted into her ears like a babbling brook.

The waters of Lover's Lake rippled gently in the breeze, reflecting the magnificent sunset on the horizon. The weeping willows along the shore seemed to be dancing to the music.

Luo Li was deeply captivated by the singing and stopped involuntarily. She gently closed her eyes and tried to feel the moving melody with her heart.

The female singer's voice was clear and captivating, every note seemed to be filled with deep emotion. Luo Li could almost see the story in the singer's heart unfolding before her eyes, and she was unconsciously immersed in it. She couldn't help but admire in her heart: This girl's ability to empathize is really strong.

Just as Luo Li was listening intently, two people slowly walked past her.

The setting sun cast long shadows of them on the stone path beside Lover's Lake. One of the girls, with dyed blonde hair, pouted and muttered, "Liu Xi is still practicing. What good is singing well if she doesn't have any powerful family connections? It's too hard for her to become famous!"

There was a hint of disdain in her eyes, as if she believed that any effort without connections was futile.

Another girl wearing glasses gently pushed up her glasses and chimed in, "I heard her mother is sick, and she wants to make money as quickly as possible, but she doesn't want to take shortcuts. I heard Brilliant Entertainment wanted to sign her, but the contract was too harsh, and she seems to have refused. You know how influential Brilliant Entertainment is in the industry; if she offends them, it will be difficult for her to become famous in the future."

The girl's voice was soft, yet it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in the air.

"Yeah, yeah, let's hurry up and get away from her." The blonde girl tugged at the arm of the girl with glasses impatiently and quickened her pace.

The two hurried away, their footsteps fading into the distance on the stone path until they were drowned out by the gentle rustling of the breeze across the lake.

Luo Li gazed in the direction they had left, her brows furrowing slightly, a complex mix of emotions welling up within her.

A sense of curiosity and sympathy welled up in Luo Li's heart. She opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the singing.

In the pavilion by the lake, a girl stood quietly, a hint of loneliness in her eyes. That must be Liu Xi, Luo Li thought.

A hint of pity flickered in her eyes, and she was about to step forward when she heard the girl's soft sobs. The crying sounded particularly heart-wrenching by the tranquil lakeside, and Luo Li's heart clenched.

Luo Li felt a ripple of emotion. She recalled the various rumors about the school that she had heard from the gossip expert Lin Weixi since the start of the semester, and Liu Xi was one of the most talked-about among them.

Liu Xi comes from the remote province of Heilongjiang. Despite her family's modest means, she achieved the top score in the Heilongjiang college entrance examination and was admitted to Shanghai University through her own hard work and talent.

She could have chosen to attend Peking University, a prestigious institution that countless people dream of, but Shanghai University's popular music department is among the best in the country, so she resolutely chose to come here in order to earn money as soon as possible.

In the Department of Popular Music at Shanghai University, Liu Xi shines like a dazzling star with her unique brilliance.

Despite not having received formal musical training, she has shown exceptional talent in pop music.

Her songs always touch people's hearts; her deeply emotional voice seems to have a magical power, immersing listeners in the emotional world she creates.

Therefore, she consistently ranked at the top of the pop music department. Looking at Liu Xi's slender yet resilient figure, Luo Li felt a strong urge to help this girl from the same school.

Luo Li took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Liu Xi. Her steps were very light, as if she was afraid of disturbing Liu Xi who was grieving.

When she walked up to Liu Xi, Liu Xi looked up, her eyes still wet with tears, and looked at Luo Li with some surprise.

Luo Li smiled slightly and said softly, "Hello, Liu Xi, your singing is really great. I just heard you sing and also heard some things about you."

Liu Xi lowered her head slightly and said with a hint of bitterness, "Thank you, but what good is singing well?"

Luo Li gently patted Liu Xi's shoulder and comforted her, "I know you may be facing a lot of difficulties right now, but don't be discouraged."

I'd like to recommend Huaxi Entertainment to you. It's a very good company and might offer you a better opportunity.

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Xi's eyes, but it quickly faded: "Will any company be willing to sign me? I rejected Brilliant Entertainment before, and no other company dares to take me."

Luo Li looked at her firmly and said, "Huaxi Entertainment is different. I will help you. I know people there who can put in a good word for you."

Luo Li took out her phone and dialed Song Hui's number. She walked to the side and quietly told Song Hui about Liu Xi's situation.

A gentle breeze from the lake caressed her hair, and her gaze was focused and earnest.

"Sister Hui, I met a very talented girl today. Her name is Liu Xi. She is a student in the Department of Popular Music at our school. She sings exceptionally well, but she is currently facing some difficulties. Brilliant Entertainment offered her a very harsh contract, which she refused. Now, no other company dares to sign her."

"I'd like to recommend her to Huaxi Entertainment. Could you give her a chance?" Luo Li's voice was sincere and earnest.

Song Hui on the other end of the phone seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Luo Li, the person you recommended must have some outstanding qualities, but our company also has its own considerations. Have her send me some of her singing materials and resume first. If she's suitable, we can discuss it further."

Luo Li was overjoyed and quickly said, "Okay, Sister Hui, thank you! I believe Liu Xi will not let you down."

Luo Li hung up the phone and returned to Liu Xi's side with a bright smile: "Liu Xi, Sister Song Hui said you should send her your singing materials and resume first. If they are suitable, you may have the opportunity to sign a contract. This is her phone number. Contact her before you go."

Liu Xi took the slip of paper with the phone number written on it, her eyes glistening with tears, and said excitedly, "Luo Li, thank you so much! I don't know how to repay you."

Luo Li grasped Liu Xi's hand and said, "Don't be so polite. We're alumni, so we should help each other."

I believe you have talent and will definitely shine in your musical journey.

Later, Luo Li learned that Liu Xi's family situation was far more difficult than she had imagined.

Liu Xi's mother was diagnosed with cancer. Although the cancer cells were removed through surgery, she is extremely weak and needs to rest for a long time. She can no longer engage in heavy physical labor.

The doctor advised that he must be extremely careful over the next five years, as the situation would be very dangerous if the cancer cells reappeared.

Liu Xi's father passed away a few years ago, leaving the entire burden of the family on the shoulders of this young girl.

She was eager to earn money to support her family as soon as possible, so that her mother could focus on her recovery and spend more time with her.

Liu Xi has a great voice and a passion for music, but she has never met a true mentor who appreciates her talent.

The emergence of Brilliant Entertainment once gave her a glimmer of hope, but the harsh contract terms were like a shackle, making her hesitate.

The contract not only offered meager pay but also involved an enormous workload with a packed schedule and almost no rest time.

If Liu Xi signs such a contract, she will be unable to balance her studies and taking care of her mother.

Faced with the difficult choice between dreams and reality, she resolutely chose to uphold her principles and rejected Brilliant Entertainment.

However, this rejection put her in an even more difficult situation, as other small companies avoided her to avoid offending industry giants.

As the days went by, Liu Xi, following Luo Li's advice, carefully prepared her singing materials and resume, and nervously sent them to Song Hui.

She endured agonizing days while awaiting a reply, yet she persisted in practicing singing by Lover's Lake. She told herself that no matter the outcome, she could not give up her love for music.

Not long after, Liu Xi received a call from Huaxi Entertainment, informing her to come to the company for an interview.

As they entered the Huaxi Entertainment building, Liu Xi was filled with nervousness and anticipation.

In the conference room, Song Hui and several other senior company executives conducted a comprehensive evaluation of Liu Xi.

Liu Xi's singing voice echoed in the conference room like heavenly music, every note reflecting her dedication to music and her aspirations for the future.

After the performance, enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room.

Song Hui said with a smile, "Liu Xi, your performance is outstanding. Welcome to Huaxi Entertainment. We will develop a special plan for you, and we believe you will have a bright future in our company."

In Liu Xi's eyes, glistening tears shimmered like stars, their light filled with longing and hope for the future. She knew deeply that her musical dream, which she had struggled to achieve in the darkness and which seemed unattainable, had finally, under the favor of fate, ushered in a new beginning full of infinite possibilities.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, she gazed intently at Luo Li, her eyes filled with deep affection as if to say that without Luo Li's help, she didn't know how much longer she would have wandered in this long, cold night.

After that, Liu Xi became like a bright star that belonged exclusively to Luo Li. On Luo Li's long journey to become the "God of Music", Liu Xi shone with the most dazzling light, engraving a series of moving and indelible chapters, becoming a bright and colorful part of Luo Li's musical journey.
