Chapter 53: Ignited, Reborn in Flames

This message was full of meaning, with particularly dramatic lines, causing chaos in the live streaming room:

"OMG, it’s all fired up!"

"Is this the secret skill of Japanese idols? Loving it, loving it."

"Even though he’s an idol, this is serious business!"

"Little Sakura’s purity is so high, if one can achieve this level of immersion, entering the Heart Flow should be a piece of cake, right?"

"Too good, I now have a reasonable suspicion that she hasn’t put forth her full effort in the initial evaluation round!"

—flow.

—Heart Flow.

For Chu Yuanqing, this was like child’s play in terms of skills.

However, this magical realm which combines complete immersion, overload efficiency, potential stimulation, accelerated thinking, and many other effects is an unattainable dream for 99.9% of the global population.

Those who can truly access and control the Heart Flow are top talents in various industries, qualified to claim the crown leading to the highest realms.

The idol industry, which depends on the stage for a living, especially requires focus and charisma.

According to rumors in the industry, the popular girl group that has billions of views on streaming media and can rank as members of the Carry Center must be top idols who have a good grasp on "Heart Flow."

Among the many renowned girl groups worldwide, take the rising star Enfer Butterfly as an example. The group’s leader and member of the Carry Center clearly understands "Heart Flow."

– Xie Qingyu.

This nationally famous Purple Star is the main reason why Xie Qingxuan is already considered the core of the Great Devil by netizens even before her debut.

Kirimi Miyuki’s current interpretation method has gained so much attention from the audience because it combines her past experiences, creating a unique path of immersion exclusive to herself.

If she can continue to stay true to herself and firmly follow the path of self-discovery, mastering "Heart Flow" will no longer be out of reach.

In fantasy novels, this would be called having the potential to become a king.

Chu Yuanqing’s mind was buzzing, feeling confused. Wasn’t she being taught how to overcome her shyness in dancing? How did they suddenly delve into such a perplexing subject?

However, the interpretation method is quite easy to understand.

By strongly telling herself, Chu Yuanqing was able to temporarily boost her mental strength, synchronize with the deepest part of her soul’s breath, reach a brief resonance, and ultimately create miraculous progress.

Chu Yuanqing understood, perhaps better than anyone else in the world.

Because the prerequisite for activating the gift of "immortality" is to believe that you will not die.

Theoretically, to activate this gift, one must firmly believe that death will not come, even when the soul and flesh are both shattered.

This fantastical activation mechanism led to no one in the vast end-of-the-world city believing that she could become the savior to avert disaster when she first awakened this gift.

But in reality,

Chu Yuanqing did indeed achieve it. She twisted her own will, tainted her own soul, distorted memories of the gift, and repeatedly repeated this behavior after each rebirth, relying on self-deception until the end.

In this process, the mental technique of self-suggestion had already become instinctive, so that once resurrected, everything was reset to its original state. It was as if there was a switch pressed deep within the soul that immediately erased the true conditions for activating the gift.

The gift of "immortality" that had been exploited to the extreme was the core reason why she could single-handedly protect the essence of civilization.

However…

The cost is that, as one’s inner core of spiritual willpower, has withered like a dying flower, plunged into a chaotic state, difficult to distinguish one’s true self. Even at the late stage of the world, it may even require seeking death actively to reset the soul in order to breathe again.

Chu Yuanying’s hesitation about whether to undergo gender transformation is also because he himself doesn’t know anymore if he is still himself, and this body is almost the only evidence.

From this perspective, the transformation of life form is truly like a new birth.

Looking back at her past self, Chu Yuanqing was like a statue gradually petrified by a curse.

And what about her current self? Like flesh and blood growing out of a statue struggling, she has become much lighter, not as dull as before. Even her personality and some beliefs have changed, more like a normal person, and more lively.

Thinking carefully, would she, still her from a month ago, feel ashamed of dancing in a skirt like this?

Chu Yuanqing’s thoughts wandered, exploring life and her true self.

Kirimi Miyuki gazed at her lost in thought, thinking that she found it too difficult. After a moment of reflection, she added:

"The way I talk about is just the way I’m used to, it may not work for everyone."

"If Little Qing finds it too hard, she could try not focusing on herself, but instead imagine herself as a world-class idol on stage, that might work wonders too, right?"

Chu Yuanqing’s wandering thoughts were interrupted, she suddenly got an idea, and repeated:

"Imagine oneself as a world-class idol?"

That makes sense.

Since she was struggling to even overcome the embarrassment of wearing a dress and dancing, she decided to just imagine herself as someone else.

Even though she still had to deal with the influence of Sea of Truth, and couldn’t really manipulate her mind, just by pretending to be a powerful idol, she could barely get through the secondary rating and the big show, not wanting to hold everyone back!

But honestly, with her limited knowledge of the entertainment world, she couldn’t think of a world-class idol to visualize.

After much thinking, the name that first popped into Chu Yuanqing’s head was that of a close and reliable comrade, known as The Last Diva, the world’s funeral agent.

Charlotte.

Chu Yuanqing felt inspired and thought to herself:

"That’s right! If I pretend to be Charlotte and dance on stage, all the cute moves and smiling winks will make perfect sense!"

Chu Yuanqing had a realization.

Being Charlotte meant being naturally cute.

Being Charlotte meant no need for shame.

Being Charlotte meant not losing to any world-class idols.

Chu Yuanqing felt like she had found a magical solution, suddenly confident and determined. She asked Kirimi Miyuki to count the beats again, ready to redo the tricky part she had messed up earlier.

Ten minutes passed.

The live stream room was like a joyful ocean.

"Hahaha, I’m sorry, Honey Qing. Mommy didn’t want to laugh, but you’re just too cute, I couldn’t help it."

"It’s only the second day, Qing Qing will definitely make it!"

"Honey Qing is too mature, which actually makes it difficult to show a girlish charm in dancing. But I believe there will be progress later!"

Kirimi Miyuki blinked her eyes, trying to speak but stopped.

Chu Yuanqing’s movements were still stiff, her expression still lacked control. Her more delicate hand movements were always wrong, even the turns that should have shown a graceful posture felt like a music box with gears moving, like a dance puppet moving jerkily, there was a kind of indescribable beauty.

Well, to sum it up, there was almost no progress.

If the dance just now was replayed in front of Chen Baijiu, he would probably criticize it harshly for ten minutes.

At this moment.

Chu Yuanqing felt very sad because she lost a shortcut for fishing.

How terrible! Just because Charlotte is so adorable, it’s hard to imagine being good enough for her!

What a deceitful method, fake things.

Chu Yuanqing started to miss her past self who always won battles!

Kirimi Miyuki looked at the extremely sad Chu Yuanqing, feeling both reluctant and hopeful.

Little Qing respects and loves the stage so much, surely worrying about the evaluation in the next few days.

But this restlessness and pain are the obstacles that a qualified idol must experience. Only by going through these can one understand how precious the moment standing on stage is.

Kirimi Miyuki remembered her past, when she first joined that idol group, as the last member to join, she often had to exert a lot of effort to keep up with the progress of the seniors.

She was even delayed from her originally promised debut date by an unscrupulous company citing poor performance.

This dragged on for a whole two years.

A girl from the countryside of Hokkaido, full of innocence and dreams, came to the bustling city. She faced countless anxieties, doubts, insecurities, and pain, and the fear of not being able to step onto the stage, even despair, but she chose to persevere.

Working and training became the main theme of her life.

Kirimi Miyuki thought about giving up countless times, but she wasn’t crushed and managed to succeed.

Although life after her debut was tougher, the stage she stood on was narrow, but when she stood under the spotlight with sweat on her back and heard a few audience members calling out "Encore," everything felt worth it.

From that moment on, she started to look forward to the future.

– She wanted to stand on a bigger stage.

– She wanted to become a better idol.

– She wanted to hear an "Encore" like a tsunami.

Kirimi Miyuki never liked to praise hardships.

But she had to admit, it was the extremely difficult and challenging times that polished the resilience hidden in her character, extracted an unparalleled desire for the stage, and shaped the passionate and never-give-up person she is now.

It is still the same now.

Only by accumulating enough sweat and effort, then stepping onto the real stage, can one breathe in a sweetness like poppies, inspiring others and experiencing the true weight of being an idol.

This sweetness and awakening will extract enough passion to overcome difficulties.

Dream Weaver Rabbit said that a second chance is a rebirth.

But in her view, only by truly facing a large-scale performance in front of the audience can one undergo a transformative change, truly seizing the opportunity for rebirth.

Kirimi Miyuki thought this and showed a genuine smile:

"Don’t worry, Little Qing, just practice until you get it right."

"Let’s practice together a few more times?"

The girl looked at Chu Yuanqing, who danced again with a tender appearance, her eyes shining brightly with hidden fiery hopes.

Second performance rating, as well as the first public performance.

Little Qing, to what extent will these two opportunities help you grow?

I can’t wait, if you really are like me, then try to… be reborn in the fire!
