As time passed.
One day, two days, three days... a week went by.
After a week of fermentation, Blank Diva's popularity soared. With just one song, she garnered a large amount of topic discussion, with many people looking forward to her new works.
In this short time, the new Blank Diva gradually filled the void left by the old Blank Diva, without any sense of dissonance.
Probably before long, the Blank Diva created by Ye Xing would inexplicably be rated as the "World Diva".
This was the world's corrective ability.
In the slacking cabin.
Ye Xing was watching the online trends, feeling both surprised and unsurprised by the viral success of "Forget-Me-Not".
She was surprised because she didn't expect it to take off on the first day.
It quickly rose to the top of the charts.
It was unsurprising because she felt this was the achievement "Forget-Me-Not" should have.
Ye Xing was at most just a slightly better porter.
Aipal floated back and forth beside Ye Xing, humming the melody of "Forget-Me-Not".
"Mm~ Ye Xing's singing is really so nice to listen to, much improved from when she used to sing in the bathroom. Could it be that she received guidance from an expert?"
"Um, probably."
Ye Xing couldn't help but think of Qinglin Mio.
As she got closer to replacing the concealed Blank Diva, Qinglin Mio seemed to have switched her admiration to her.
In other words, Kiyomi Diva was actually Ye Xing's fan?!
No matter how you think about it, it's a bit outrageous.
It's completely reversed from the future.
So now Ye Xing was enjoying the reputation of the original Blank Diva, even the fans were the original batch of people.
But this should be enough, right?
She had already established a new existence.
Everything belonging to Blank Diva was reappearing.
For example, the diva account of "Blank Diva", the debut work "Forget-Me-Not", and the original fans.
Next, just wait for the most crucial step.
At this moment, Ye Xing suddenly received a message. Looking carefully, she almost couldn't react.
"Eh? So fast?"
Ye Xing saw that "Blank Diva" would be crowned by the World Diva Association, becoming the world's only World Diva!
Originally, it wasn't so easy for a World Diva to be born. That required constant accumulation.
Blank originally had quite a few works before becoming the World Diva, and even continued world activities for several years, which finally made her popularity reach its peak and gain worldwide recognition.
However now, the "Blank Diva" identity created by Ye Xing only took a week to achieve this.
There was only one work, which was "Forget-Me-Not".
The Supernova Star Eclipse [Existence Interference] concealed the existence of the original Blank Diva.
For a figure that had such a great impact on the world, it naturally couldn't be easily corrected back.
And now that a "substitute" had appeared, it was used to fill the void as a matter of course.
At that time, what would the Supernova Star Eclipse [Existence Interference] do?
Ye Xing said she was looking forward to it.
Moreover, it was also time to end everything.
"There's one last step..."
Ye Xing looked at the notification, pretending to be calm.
She was to ascend Yunzhang City's central stage, face tens of thousands of spectators for her coronation, achieving the title of "World Diva".
"Oh no..."
Singing in front of tens of thousands of people, what kind of torture was this for a socially anxious little loli?
But!
For Blank, she could only go all out.
Don't underestimate the courage of a person who has made up their mind to go all out!
"Let's do this directly!"
Let her welcome the true Blank Diva's return on the stage.
......
Rising Sun Theater.
The melodious singing stopped again.
The Singer sang in the theater every day, her human aura gradually disappearing.
Mo Tu applauded under the stage, smiling as he watched the figure on stage.
"Singer, have you ever thought about sharing your voice with more people? Don't you think it's not good to always sing alone here? If there are no audiences to hear you sing, isn't that too much of a pity?"
"Announcer, you... are... the audience... listening to me sing."
After a few days, she seemed to have preliminarily accepted the identity of Singer, and besides singing, she was also trying to communicate with people in the troupe.
Of course, this communication was not very intimate.
Except for Mo Tu, she only maintained basic communication with others.
Because other troupe members didn't often come out to listen to her singing, only Mo Tu always sat here, maintaining the posture of a listener, giving her a strange feeling.
Like an important person.
But no matter what, she couldn't remember.
Mo Tu shook his head and said calmly, "I am not a true audience. The person who can truly listen to your singing is not here. Why do you think I'm here listening to you sing?"
"Let me... sing, listen to me... sing."
"That's just the surface."
"Hm?"
"Wait a bit longer."
"Wait... for what?"
"Wait for another person's voice to sound."
......
Night.
Many citizens came to Yunzhang City's central stage, all fans of Blank Diva.
Tens of thousands of people were in the audience seats, waiting for their favorite diva to take the stage.
No one noticed even a bit of oddness.
They would think this was natural, even though that diva was now a little loli with only one work.
Xiao Jin and others stood under the stage, waiting for what would happen next.
As Night Watchers, they couldn't possibly not notice the current anomaly.
From "Blank Diva" about to become the World Diva with just one song, they felt more and more that something was off.
Now that girl was about to ascend a stage with tens of thousands of spectators, revealing everything.
The people present were all witnesses.
Backstage.
The silver-haired Ye Xing let out a soft breath, constantly calming herself, trying to make herself no longer nervous.
But she couldn't do it.
No matter what, she could never ascend the stage like Blank.
This was Ye Xing's first time on stage, her first time facing tens of thousands of spectators.
She would sing under the eyes of these tens of thousands of people.
Just hearing the cheers of those spectators, Ye Xing's heart was about to jump out.
"What should I do...?"
Ye Xing covered her rapidly beating heart, the cheers in her ears seemed to have disappeared, existing only in a dark space.
At this moment, she suddenly felt as if she was being hugged by someone.
"Eh...?"
An invisible shadow hugged Ye Xing from behind, incredibly warm.
With this hug, Ye Xing's inner nervousness quickly eased.
She remembered this feeling.
Whenever she felt uneasy, whenever she felt scared, a warm feeling would appear in her heart, as if being hugged and comforted, truly very touching.
Bai Yu's mom... thank you.
Ye Xing raised her eyes, determination in them, the cheers of tens of thousands of people again reaching her ears.
Only this time, she would no longer be afraid.
If she still hesitated over something like this, she would only be letting down the person who was still waiting.
She would appear on stage, opening the ceremony to welcome someone's return!
Ye Xing set off, walking from backstage to the stage, beams of light shining on her, symbolizing the protagonist's appearance.
"Wooooo!!"
The crowd cheered excitedly.
Ye Xing looked dazedly at the densely packed scene before her.
Once upon a time, she was also down there looking at the diva on stage.
But now, it was her turn to ascend the stage.
In the front row, she saw many familiar faces.
Qinglin Mio holding a support stick, Xiao Jin, Bai Yuan, Wang Chao, Bai Tu, and so on.
They were all looking at her, excitement, encouragement, and expectation in their eyes, all supporting her.
At this, Ye Xing let out a soft breath, slightly adjusted the position of the microphone at her mouth, and said softly, "Next, please listen to me sing a song. This is someone's desire for the world. She's not here now, let me sing it for her."
"Blank! Blank! Blank!..."
The cheers from under the stage continued, incredibly fervent.
As the accompaniment sounded, everyone fell silent in unison, waiting for the singing to begin.
.....
Meanwhile.
Rising Sun Troupe.
Mo Tu, who had been closing his eyes tightly, opened them and smiled slightly.
"It's beginning."
Mo Tu stood up and came to the Singer on the stage, extending a hand to her.
"Singer, could you come with me to listen to someone's singing? That song is sung for you."
The Singer was very curious. This Announcer seemed to have been waiting for this moment all along.
So the Singer gently placed her hand on Mo Tu's.
The next second, the two teleported in front of the only entrance and exit.
And the members hidden in the troupe gradually walked out from the shadows, quietly staring at the backs of the Singer and the Announcer.
After arriving at the entrance and exit, Mo Tu waved his hand, and enthusiastic cheers instantly entered the quiet theater.
Mo Tu led the Singer out, through the passage to the back row of the audience seats.
Everything here was very lively.
Tens of thousands of people cheered excitedly for the petite figure on stage, filled with love, admiration, and fervor for her.
The Singer saw this scene, her eyes full of shock.
She had an impression of this scene, but it was only limited to an impression.
Had she once ascended such a stage too?
Having so many listeners, it was like a fantasy.
Then, the audience's cheers gradually decreased, because the figure on stage was finally about to start singing.
As the familiar accompaniment sounded, the Singer looked towards the stage.
The silver-haired petite figure on stage merged with the phantom remaining in her soul, gradually becoming clearer.
"Who... is she? Why do I... care so much?"
The Singer's mind began to become a bit chaotic, the concealed memories constantly flickering, always on the verge of erupting.
Soon, the silver-haired girl's voice sounded.
"Ah~ In the starry sky where snowflakes flutter, you and I gaze up together..."
The singing reached the Singer's ears, making her slightly startled.
"This is 'Forget-Me-Not'."
Why did she know the name of this song?
The answer might be in this song.
The Singer listened carefully. After a few seconds, her cherry lips opened and closed, as if wanting to sing along with this melody.
What was this song about?
She seemed to understand. The singing girl sang this song very well, bringing out the essence of the original version.
The Singer liked it very much.
But why did she know the essence of the original version?
"Don't... forget me..."
The time of one song passed, Ye Xing finished singing this song, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you everyone. Next, please listen once more. This is the song in my heart."
"Wooooo!"
The familiar melody from earlier sounded again, still that familiar "Forget-Me-Not".
Ye Xing's voice followed.
However, compared to before, her singing now had another meaning, more like a promise to someone.
The Singer's eyes became a bit moist.
She understood.
This was...
"I will... remember you..."
The Singer was dumbfounded.
Why did she have an urge to cry?
The existence on stage seemed very important to her.
Who was she to her?
Why did she have no impression at all? Had she once stood on this stage and sung too? Why couldn't she remember anymore?
The Singer covered her head, the Star Eclipse within her constantly flashing, as if about to erupt.
The live broadcast of this concert was played in various parts of the country, gradually synchronizing to foreign networks.
The presence of "Blank Diva" grew stronger and stronger, as if recreating past peaks.
As the singing diminished, "Forget-Me-Not" entered its final movement, ultimately ending on the stage.
The concert ended.
"Blank Diva" was crowned World Diva, returning to the pinnacle once again!
At this moment, the Supernova Star Eclipse within the Singer instantly erupted!
In the Night Watchers' base, the [Star-Knower] frantically flashed.
"Alert! Alert! Supernova Star Eclipse—[Existence Interference] eruption, effect unknown, location unknown, extremely dangerous, all Night Watchers please prepare for subjugation!"
Just as the [Star-Knower] warned, the Supernova Star Eclipse erupted.
Ye Xing recreating Blank Diva's existence with herself as a template had touched the interference mechanism of [Existence Interference].
It would conceal again, once more hiding the information of "Blank Diva", turning this world into one where Blank Diva didn't exist!
Standing on the stage, Ye Xing was completely calm. Feeling this Star Eclipse aura, she wasn't panicked at all, standing firmly on the stage.
"If you can do it, try to conceal me."
She was the second "Blank Diva", touching the fundamental elements of the existence mechanism.
To make Blank Diva's existence completely disappear, she could only be concealed.
So, could the so-called Supernova Star Eclipse—[Existence Interference] do it?
Feeling the approach of the Star Eclipse power, Ye Xing faced it calmly, not afraid at all of what was about to happen.
The next second, an anomaly occurred.
Just as the Star Eclipse power was about to approach Ye Xing, it was instantly repelled by a mysterious force.
Golden light, illusory puppets, and the Exceptional Star [Wish Machine], like Ye Xing's guardians.
Just as [Wish Machine] couldn't excessively influence [Existence Interference].
The latter was even less likely to conceal Ye Xing, the bearer of [Wish Machine].
Who could do it?
"Contract complete."
Ye Xing, who had been lowering her head on stage, raised her eyes. Her crimson eyes flashed with an unusual light, as if not her own.
"The price is... one-third of [Existence Interference]'s power."
As soon as the words fell, this Star Eclipse power was quickly absorbed into Ye Xing's body, directly snatched away.
The entire world fell silent.
A figure with milky-white long hair appeared on stage, behind Ye Xing.
The Singer, that is, Blank Diva, gently stared at Ye Xing's back, knowing she was Ye Lan.
"Ye Lan."
Ye Xing turned around and smiled slightly at Blank.
"Blank, welcome back. Sorry to keep you waiting."
Blank couldn't help but walk up and hug her, holding this petite body tightly in her arms, as if still worried about losing her.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally forgot you."
"It's okay. Didn't I say before? Even if you forget me, I'll make you remember. This is my promise to you, and now, I've done it."
Yes, Ye Xing had done it.
