In the Tianmei Entertainment conference room, the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point. Everyone looked at Liu Gao, whose face appeared somewhat grey and defeated. No one dared to even breathe loudly.

In the entire room, the only sound was the voice of the tens of thousands singing in unison, still playing from the large screen.

Liu Gao stared blankly at the scene on the screen.

It seemed that only Gu Xingyi's song could turn the competition into something like this; no other song had that power.

"Mr. Liu, it's just one competition. No need to take it so seriously. We already know Gu Xingyi's talent. Our strategy wasn't solely dependent on this one event, so let's keep calm! Plus, the result isn't decided yet, right?"

"Mu Baiwei still has a chance! Her song is also good!"

In the end, it was Tian Xingchi, who spoke with a calm face.

If he hadn't known Gu Xingyi's talent so well, he wouldn't have allowed Gu Xingyi to take his people away so easily last time.

Liu Gao let out a long breath. He had to admit, he had been frightened. He had already raised Gu Xingyi's status in his mind several times, but the truth was, he had still underestimated him.

He thought it would be a crushing victory, but Gu Xingyi had silently diffused that.

"Alright, let's wait for the results! If Mu Baiwei loses, we'll discuss who should take the stage for the next two rounds!"

At this moment, the grand chorus at the Modu Sports Arena had come to an end. The only thing left was the audience, waving their small hands to the melody, gazing at Liu Ruoying on stage, who had suddenly started shedding tears.

Liu Ruoying was now deeply moved. As a singer, to see this moment on stage, she would have no regrets for the rest of her life!

The music continued, and Liu Ruoying tried to calm the emotions stirring in her heart, forcing a warm smile on her face as she continued to sing the final lines.

   "It will never come again~

   There was a boy, loving that girl~"

As the music ended, the applause from the audience was instantaneous, a thunderous roar that echoed through the entire venue. Their cheers and screams filled the air.

Liu Ruoying held the microphone and bowed deeply.

"Thank you! Thank you, everyone!"

After saying this, she lifted her head, gathered her emotions, and slowly walked off the stage amidst the audience's cheers.

Backstage, Mu Baiwei had not left. She looked at Liu Ruoying with a complicated expression, and after a moment, spoke.

"Congratulations, Ruoying! From tonight, you are also a Heavenly Queen!"

At this moment, Liu Ruoying hadn't fully recovered from the emotions of the song. She wiped the tears at the corner of her eye.

"Weiwei, I finally, finally found this song! Coming to Xingyao Entertainment, meeting Gu Xingyi, and now, I finally understand that everything was destined."

As she spoke, Liu Ruoying's smile grew brighter and brighter, radiant like a flower.

"Destined, this song was waiting for me all along. I'm glad I didn't give up!"

Hearing Liu Ruoying's words, Mu Baiwei paused for a moment, her expression faltering slightly. After a brief moment, she bit her lip, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

She had never met Gu Xingyi, only heard about him from others and seen him online.

It seemed that everyone who talked about Gu Xingyi, whether they were his enemies or friends, first and foremost acknowledged his talent.

Today, she had also heard "Later" and witnessed his talent firsthand!

This made Mu Baiwei even more curious about Gu Xingyi.

What kind of person was this man, who could win the admiration of everyone?

"Alright, Weiwei, the people of the company are still waiting for me. I'll go over first! We'll talk when we have time!"

Liu Ruoying was now eager to meet with the company's people, wanting to share her current joy and personally thank Gu Xingyi!

"Alright, go ahead. We'll talk later."

Mu Baiwei collected her thoughts, nodded, and watched Liu Ruoying jog back to the room at Xingyao Entertainment.

At the same time, online voting was still going on intensely.

Countless netizens were in a dilemma, unsure who to vote for. It was tough—both Mu Baiwei's fans and Liu Ruoying's fans were equally passionate!

A group of indecisive people stared at the two names on the voting button, torn between the choices.

On Weibo, in various entertainment groups, everywhere there was room for discussion, netizens gathered to debate. Even in the official live broadcast, countless viewers were still undecided.

"Fam! What do I do? I'm a fan of Mu Baiwei! But... but... I love Liu Ruoying's ‘Later' so much! Ahhh~~"

"Sigh! Same here! My heart is lost and I don't know which way to turn!"

"I love both ‘Memory' and ‘Later'! Ahhh~ Official Daddy, why don't you just split me in two?!"

"I'm not as troubled! I'm a fan of Xingyao and I like ‘Later' more, so hehehe…"

"Scum! Get lost! Don't ruin my peace of mind… Oh no, I accidentally voted for Liu Ruoying, wahhh~ Weiwei, I'm sorry!"

In the end, with the limited time running out, the viewers gritted their teeth and cast their precious vote.

The official HuaYin organization was quickly counting the valid votes.

Finally, the results of the competition came in. When everyone saw the voting result, they were stunned for a moment, then the next moment, the live stream was flooded with bullet comments.

"I announce, the new Heavenly Queen is born right now!"

"Queen Liu Ruoying! Well-deserved!"

Countless similar bullet comments flooded the screen. Even more outrageous was that just two minutes before the voting results were announced, various media outlets on Weibo were already scrambling to release their reports.

[Shocking! "The Strongest Voice of Hua Country" has a historic moment! A chorus of tens of thousands! Click for full details!]

[Invincible! Former goddess Liu Ruoying defeats Queen Mu Baiwei! Successfully ascends to the throne of the Heavenly Queen!]

[Unbelievable! Tianmei Entertainment loses! Xingyao becomes the final winner!]

...

Various eye-catching headlines flooded major platforms. The media, which had been silent for so long, finally reappeared. The moment Liu Ruoying won, all the media outlets realized: the rise of Xingyao Entertainment was unstoppable!

They hadn't reported on Xingyao Entertainment for a long time, all because the entire entertainment industry had been pressuring them.

The media had endured for so long, but now, in this moment, they fully understood—perhaps the era of the three giants was about to change!

Since Gu Xingyi's appearance, the position of the three giants had already been shaken. Their dominance was weakening, and after this competition, Xingyao Entertainment had officially crowned its Heavenly Queen!

The landscape of the entertainment industry was becoming clearer and clearer!

Thus, the media no longer showed any leniency to Tianmei Entertainment and finally stepped forward.

At this moment, in the room at Xingyao Entertainment, Gu Xingyi also saw the final result, and a sense of relief washed over him.

That was close!

Only a two-vote difference! Liu Ruoying won by an extremely narrow margin!

But that was enough!

Xingyao Entertainment had, at last, crowned its first Heavenly Queen!
