Chapter 131: The Grand Fusion

On the internet, the first post by Creator Emperor III also sparked intense attention.

"Is Creator going into music?"

"Great, I support it!"

"Suddenly feeling so happy! Whatever you want seems to come true!"

"Music that matches the mood of our chats sounds amazing!"

"Only 23 hours left, looking forward to it +1!"

"Looking forward to it +10,000!"

"Looking forward to it +100 million!"

"Looking forward to it +1 billion!"

When Creator Emperor III's second post appeared, people were a bit confused.

"What is Emperor III doing? Collecting music?"

"Really? Don't they already have music storage?"

"Oh no, this is a bit unexpected!"

"Even the mighty Gemini can't create music, right?"

However, many people fell silent when they saw Emperor III's call for music submissions.

They were music enthusiasts.

Or rather, unsuccessful musicians.

They had works.

But no popularity, no support, no contracts.

Their music was considered 'niche.'

Enjoyed only by themselves.

Their music was too highbrow.

For them, music was a world.

Their own world.

But they believed music was a very personal matter.

The tunes they composed, the lyrics they wrote, the songs they sang.

In an instant.

They felt a sudden urge to submit their music to Gemini.

But the next moment, they lowered their arms.

"My music probably won't be liked by anyone."

"I'm different from others; my songs carry too many emotions."

"Not as mainstream as popular songs…"

Recalling how they had been repeatedly rejected by music platforms…

Even had their scores thrown back in their faces by so-called famous musicians…

And singing alone in the cold wind in an underground tunnel…

Without an audience…

Sigh... better not.

No need to humiliate myself.

Let the songs be for myself!

Musicians immersed in their insecurities bitterly smiled.

But then they suddenly saw a news article that shot to the top of every headline with extraordinary popularity.

"God of Song Emperor I updates on Douyin!"

In the video, the familiar back of someone dressed in a white shirt.

He sat at the piano, his fingers deftly playing an unknown piano piece, ethereal and graceful.

He wasn't singing but softly telling a story.

"I am Emperor I."

"Among countless superstar names, I've heard many songs."

"But the one that moved me the most."

"Was an accidental chance encounter in a bar, long after the place had cleared out at midnight."

"No audience."

"A no-name bar singer, on a dimly lit stage, holding a worn wooden guitar, singing his own song with emotion."

When Liu Di said this, he recalled a deep night two years ago when, despite his illness, he worked as a part-time waiter in a bar.

He smiled gently.

"It was that song that brought me to tears."

"He was unknown, but I saw an indomitable spirit."

"It was a kind of stubbornness, a kind of loneliness."

"Being at a low point in my life, I deeply understood that helplessness."

"It was like seeing a solitary star flickering lonely in the vast starry sky."

"The room was very quiet at the time, and only this voice was in my ears."

"Because it was like my own heart."

"Strength hidden in despair!"

"I believe there are countless singers with voices that can stir the soul still asleep."

"I feel fortunate because they are like treasures."

"When the day of discovery comes, people can be happy and moved countless times."

"I believe your voices are not unheard but just haven't found the right stage."

"To those who sing for tips in dimly lit bars."

"To those who sing for hurried passersby in street squares."

"To those who sing for a few virtual avatars in live streams."

"Show your attitude."

"Sing bravely for everyone!"

"Don't be afraid; those who are most sincere will always receive applause!"

At this point, Emperor I stopped playing the piano.

He straightened up, raised his voice a few notches, "I officially announce here that I, Emperor I, and my two musical works, 'The Future is Promising' and 'I Am Who I Am,' are officially signed with Gemini Music!"
