Chapter 226 Part 1: Chu Yuanqing? It’s Chu Yuanying! Charlotte Arrives at the Battlefield (1)

The next day.

The Bregenz Festival stage went viral, and information about Charlotte spread across the Sacred United Country.

Although the emergency live stream by Dream Weaver Rabbit lasted less than three minutes, the charm, body language, singing, beauty, and the impressive idol power that went beyond the dance itself gave the audience, who did not originally know Charlotte, an extraordinary experience that shook their souls.

Originally, due to Austria’s smaller population compared to Daxia, even though Charlotte topped the charts in the Vienna competition with her overwhelming popularity, she only had about 30 million fans online, and on the main platform, it was barely 10 million.

However, after just one night, that live stream, which reached almost all the territory of the Sacred United Country, tripled her fan base online, and with the follow-up video of "Dazzling Stage" posted directly on the official website, such an incredible growth rate can continue for a while.

This is the treatment of a "lighthouse."

Even though the competition system makes Charlotte’s level of commercial performance and the large live stream aimed at the entire Sacred United Country very unfair to the other contestants, from the perspective of preserving humanity and safeguarding civilization, this treatment is just the basics.

Moreover, anyone who saw that live stream, or even just looked at the much less impressive video replay, would find it hard to believe that Charlotte did not deserve such treatment.

The last singer of the century.

Almost all the audience who watched that performance gave it the highest praise.

They sadly and joyfully believed that in this era where AI compositions and even AI singers are overwhelming, burying singers in a desert of silence, this girl, who has not yet debuted, is the last pearl of the sea.

At this moment, this "pearl of the sea," which attracted many new fans to seek her out, is sitting on a plane, wearing a steam eye mask, lying in a soft chair, and trying to sort through the chaotic thoughts in her mind, feeling quite troubled.

Yesterday, Charlotte’s performance of "Fully Blooming" was so magnificent that it almost covered the entire sky of Austria with rainbow light that sparkled like shattered jewels, truly changing the appearance of the heavens.

Additionally, with her determination to not forget, using the language of flowers as a blessing, she forcefully broke free from the Sea of Truth’s barrier. After remembering that name, she reached her limit and nearly fainted on the spot.

Finally, her assistant sister, arranged by Dream Weaver Rabbit, helped Charlotte sleep for a while in a special caretaking van before returning to the hotel to rest more.

By the time she boarded the plane, heading towards Vienna,

The young girl just barely began to recover, shaking off the chaotic thoughts, and was able to reflect on the memories she gained from that performance.

Actually, when I think about it, there weren’t many things I remembered from yesterday. But after holding the piece called Chu Yuanying, I recalled some important events from the previous world line, the reason behind the death of my close friend, the background of Disaster Wave and the Calamity God, as well as many parts of my own past.

Well, at least it won’t be like Little Sakura and the green-eyed cat, who could both easily blame the magical girl and had a very clear understanding of the situation.

In short, that world line full of despair and tragedy has vanished.

Now, I am in a time where humanity is protected by Pure White, enjoying an extra 17 years of safety, about to face the return of Disaster Wave in a peaceful era, and during this time, I have lived a relatively happy and carefree life for 17 years.

Although I can’t remember how it all happened, considering the silly shrine maiden, the timid junior, and the stubborn airhead all left hope for me and Little Qing before they died, it is very likely that the current situation is the result of our joint efforts.

Of course, it is also possible that one of them died early in battle or they all perished, allowing the ones who came after them to inherit the blessings and achieve this result in time.

The Last Diva felt confused for a moment and whispered to herself:

"If this is just a correction of the world line, or a restart, that would be fine."

"But what if this is just a different parallel universe? Is it possible that everyone… cannot return?"

Charlotte felt heavy-hearted. She could not remember the final outcome. It was as if a wall of understanding blocked her soul, preventing her from touching the memories of the old times.

The girl tried hard to calm down. She tiredly took off her steaming eye mask. Her deep blue eyes were mysterious. She reached out to pull back the curtains and glanced at the endless sea of clouds. It seemed like a mirage, with pure white walls stretching into the infinite distance. A complex smile appeared on her lips as she softly whispered:

"The Wall of Sighs."

This was one of the blessings from her junior, a concept of absolute defense. Even the King of Salt could hardly erode it. It was one of the few means in the old days that could resist the power of the Calamity God.

According to the information provided by Dreamweaver, it descended at the moment of the Disaster 17 years ago, suppressing all the forbidden zones that hatched deities and forcing all disasters back into their eggs, causing a complete shutdown.

This marvelous building named "Pure White" was the turning point that drastically changed history.

It allowed a human civilization that should have long been destroyed to survive for 17 more years. During this time, it developed the magical girl system, Ether Tech, and even… the path to salvation that perfectly matched her past dreams.

— The Dazzling Stage project.

Theoretically speaking, even in a parallel world, the Wall of Sighs would only belong to her junior.

The most important thing is that blessings need to wait for the Disaster Wave to break out, forcing the thirteen Calamity Gods to bind planetary consciousness, compelling it to actively connect to the Sea of Truth and giving up the rule of materialism without magic, before it can possibly be born from an accident.

From this point of view, the magical girls and Ether Tech seem unusual, as if the planetary consciousness is desperately trying to survive, resulting in these unexpected creations.

Therefore, the idea of parallel universes being almost impossible makes New Game Plus a more reasonable conclusion.

"The Wall of Sighs does not have the power to suppress the source of Disaster."

Charlotte’s eyelashes fluttered as her lake-colored eyes softened, her pink lips curling into a joyful smile. In a world filled with despair and tragedy, only a fool who would rather kill themselves countless times than give up could possibly create what is called New Game Plus.

The Last Diva inexplicably believed that the pure white creator was the other person. She whispered about her beloved as she looked at the chat on her phone, her thoughts swirling, her lips curling into a cute and curious smile as she softly murmured:

"Little Qing, or should I say, now I should call you Little Qing?"

Chu Yuanying, Chu Yuanqing.

Such similar names already have enough flaws, and the chatting style, speaking habits, and personality attitudes are almost identical. Combined with a few teammates who look too familiar to be a coincidence, it’s hard not to connect the dots.

What about gender, appearance, and life experiences that can be traced?

These veils, in her sharp intuition, seemed completely unnecessary!

Although she didn’t know why the other person in the New Game Plus became a girl or what strange twists happened in between, it didn’t matter. The handsome Little Qing was certainly wonderful, but an even more delightful, softer, and prettier beauty with looks and figure that could rival her own would be even better.

Charlotte felt no hesitation; she loved the foolish friend she had known since childhood, who walked with her hand in hand. Even if he was burned like a demon by Levatin’s flames, in her heart, he was the only one, irreplaceable—her forever great and best lover.

Gender? As long as it is Little Qing, such things are completely unimportant.

Moreover, magical girls, as beings of pure heart, are super magical in every sense. To fulfill each other’s needs, there’s no need for any mundane tools. Isn’t magic more useful and closer?

In just one second, Charlotte imagined a more intense way to be close than with a golden retriever.

Hmm, she thought magical girls could definitely "learn from the strengths of others to defeat them," imitating the strange enemies in all those weird videos—the tentacle monsters.

Of course, this little detail is not important.

The important thing is, now Little Qing is full of fun and mischief!
