The Journey to Godhood in Another World

Luo Li started a lottery, drawing prizes every half hour, with ten people winning each time. The prizes were tickets to the fan meeting.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, so Luo Li enabled the video call function and selected applicants to connect via video.

In the live stream room, soft lighting shone on Luo Li. She looked at the viewers who had applied to connect on the screen, gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, and said intently into the microphone, "Come on, let's connect with our first viewer in the live stream room. Hello!"

After a moment of silence, a slightly hoarse yet firm female voice came through: "Hello, I am a police officer. I would like to tell you my story. Today, I met my first love. In that instant, memories of the past flooded back like a tide."

She paused, seemingly trying to calm her turbulent emotions. "We were high school classmates. Back then, I came from a poor family, while he was a well-known rich kid. We fell for each other in our youthful days and started dating. However, good times are always short-lived. After his mother found out about our relationship, she came to me and said I wasn't good enough for him. Those words were like sharp blades, deeply wounding me. I was filled with anger and resentment. In a fit of anger, I resolutely broke up with him and then went to a military academy in a city far from him, losing all contact with him. But today, fate has played a cruel joke on me; he has become a criminal suspect we are arresting. I'm really heartbroken; I just wanted to vent somewhere. Thank you for listening, goodbye!"

Luo Li listened quietly, her brows furrowing slightly, a hint of sympathy and emotion flashing in her eyes, as she pondered how to respond to the listener's outpouring.

A moment later, she raised her head, her gaze resolute, and picked up the guitar beside her.

"After hearing your story, I'd like to dedicate a song, 'The Love Story of a White Dove and a Crow,' to this young lady, and also to all of you watching on screen!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room seemed to freeze, and only when the melody slowly began did a moment of silence appear.

Luo Li closed her eyes slightly, swaying gently as she immersed herself in the world of music.

Her fingers danced skillfully across the strings, each note like an outpouring of her innermost emotions.

"The busy tone has ended, you've hung up the phone," Luo Li murmured softly, the image of the policewoman's pain and helplessness as she recounted her story flashing through her mind.

She seemed to see a girl in a dimly lit corner, listening to the merciless dial tone on the other end of the phone, tears welling up in her eyes, but stubbornly refusing to fall.

"The raindrops seem to be laughing at me," outside the window, a light drizzle begins to fall, the raindrops hitting the glass and making a pitter-patter sound, as if accompanying this sad story.

The viewers in the live stream were also immersed in this sorrowful atmosphere, and messages full of emotion scrolled across the screen.

"The story diverged and you abandoned me, I pretended to let go while feigning elegance," Luo Li's voice trembled slightly, as if she could feel the feigned strength after being abandoned by her lover.

In her imagination, the policewoman spent countless nights alone at the military academy, gazing at the starry sky, her heart filled with longing for the past and uncertainty about the future. But during the day, she had to put on a brave face, train hard, and bury that pain deep in her heart.

"May you meet someone better, like waves that never kiss the sunset," Luo Li opened her eyes, a hint of sadness in them. She thought of the policewoman's complex feelings when faced with her former lover now a criminal—a mixture of lingering attachment to the past and unwavering commitment to the law and justice.

As she sang, it was as if she were offering words of comfort to the policewoman, hoping she could let go of her past obsessions.

"I'm powerless to struggle anymore. We used to love each other, but now all that's left is deviation," Luo Li's singing grew increasingly somber as her thoughts drifted back to a past relationship.

At that time, she also had sweet times with her lover, but they eventually parted ways for various reasons.

She knew all too well the pain of going from deep love to despair, so she could better understand the policewoman's feelings at that moment.

As she sang, she nodded slightly, as if she were having a conversation with her own memories.

"Just as wildflowers can't touch the crescent moon and can only be broken by the evening wind, the love story of white doves and crows only exists in fairy tales," Luo Li's singing gradually rose, as if she was shouting against the injustice of fate.

She saw that the viewers in the live broadcast room were all moved by the singing, some swaying gently to the rhythm, while others listened quietly, their eyes revealing a deep resonance with the song.

As the song ended, the live stream was instantly flooded with comments. "The light and airy melody took me back to the time when I was in love. There were memories, reluctance, regret, resentment, and heartache. All sorts of emotions. The more I listened, the more addicted I became. I wanted to find traces of the past in the music. [Facepalm][Facepalm] It's a waste of cigarettes," one viewer commented.

Luo Li looked at the message, smiled gently, and said, "Love is always like this, full of bittersweet experiences, making it unforgettable."

"White doves and crows can never be a pair, but they share the same sky [roses][roses][roses]" Another comment sparked deep thought among everyone.

Luo Li nodded slightly and said, "Yes, sometimes, even if two people can't be together, they still leave a deep mark on each other's lives."

"The most ridiculous thing in the world is that I treat you differently from others, but you treat me worse than others."

Upon seeing this message, Luo Li couldn't help but sigh and said, "In relationships, giving and receiving are often not equal, which is the helplessness of love."

“Until you know the outcome, you’ll never know whether you’ll choose to be friends or lovers. The moment you become friends, you’re destined to be unhappy just being friends. The moment you become lovers but don’t have a good outcome, you’d rather be friends. It’s not that you don’t want to be lovers, but that you’re afraid that if the relationship becomes strained, you won’t even be able to be friends anymore.” Luo Li thought for a while and replied, “That’s the subtlety of love. Many times, we waver between friendship and love, finding it hard to choose. But once you make the wrong choice, you may leave regrets.”

"Youthful infatuation is empty-handed, overwhelming, half-understood, a racing heartbeat after an unintentional eye contact, a blush spreading to the tips of the ears, a series of fleeting encounters followed by cautious glances back, until disappearing into the bustling crowd. Perhaps even a crow, watching a white dove, harbored this cautious expectation, but when it gets close enough to witness the white dove dancing in the sunlight in a church, it will dispel that unrealistic thought. What I want to say is, it's not others who can't let go of prejudices, it's often yourself, young man," Luo Li read this message, her heart stirred, and said, "Sometimes, our hearts are indeed bound by prejudices, causing us to miss many beautiful possibilities."

"Poor girl, it's not that you're not good enough for him, it's that he's not good enough for you!" Luo Li looked at this comment and said firmly, "Everyone has their own value and dignity, and no one should be easily belittled by others under any circumstances. I hope this policewoman can face this bravely and continue to uphold justice."

Luo Li put down her guitar, stretched, and looked at the still active viewers in the live stream, her heart filled with gratitude.

This live stream, because of a true and sad story, allowed everyone to find emotional resonance in the music, and also gave her a deeper understanding of love, friendship and life.

She knows that countless similar stories are unfolding in this world, and she is willing to use music to bring some comfort to those wounded souls.
