The following day, the male lead, Liu Zhengwen, hosted the wrap-up party for the movie.
After the wrap-up party, Lin Yuan officially recorded the duet “Rooftop” with Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui. This song was slated for release in January.
There were not many bumps along the way.
By the end of December, both the company and schools were on holiday.
On the evening of the 31st, Lin Yuan watched the year’s Spring Festival Gala with his family.
It must be said that the Spring Festival Gala in this world was far more exciting than that of the Celestial Dynasty, perhaps due to the lack of restrictive regulations, and performers were not bound by a myriad of rules on stage.

Of course, the overall theme was undoubtedly one of positivity and optimism.
Midway through the Spring Festival Gala, Lan Yan sang the most popular song of the month, “Red Sun”.
As the familiar melody rang out, his family members joined in, humming softly.
The song, written by Lin Yuan, resonated deeply with his family.
Just as the Spring Festival Gala was about to end, several special performance segments took place.
It wasn’t that the performances were peculiar, but the performers who shockingly were all stars from Chu Continent!
Lin Xuan commented, “The signs are quite clear now.”
Even their mother, a regular person who seldom goes online, nodded in agreement, “It seems that Chu Continent is about to merge in. There will be Qin Province, Qi Province, Chu Province…”
His sister said, “Happy New Year.”
Lin Yuan and the others were taken aback for a moment before they also rang out with “Happy New Year,” suddenly feeling a surreal sensation at the moment.
Another year had passed.
The new year had truly arrived.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Just like the signal sent out by the Spring Festival Gala.
The official announcement came the next day:
Chu Continent would be merged into Qin-Qi, becoming Chu Province.
Simultaneously, the cultural wall of the old Chu Continent was eradicated completely with borders between the three provinces dissolved!
Just like when Qin and Qi provinces merged, the incorporation of Chu Continent triggered a chain reaction across various sectors—
A brand new round of challenges and opportunities emerged across many fields.
For the following days, the news reports were constantly focused on these changes. It was a time of extraordinary excitement!
On the internet, related topics emerged one after another, with the entertainment industry being the most affected:
“I feel hollowed out, don’t ask me why.”
“Ha ha, the pal above, make sure your nutrition keeps up.”
“Lately, I’ve been reading novels, not sure if it’s because they’re fresh but detective novels from Chu Province seem more exciting than those from Qi Province!”
“Chu Province’s animated shows are truly matchless!”
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
“I’m from Chu continent, guess I should say Chu Province now, Qin-Qi music and movies are great too!”
“We’ve changed a bunch of furniture at home, and the furniture brands from old Chu are really good.”
“I even changed my car; it’s a Chu-produced car.”
“…”
The impact was felt everywhere!
Even Lin Yuan’s pseudonyms faced different degrees of impact after the merger.
Take for instance the pseudonym Xian Yu.
The song “Rooftop” was recently released.
Prior to the merger, this song had the potential to top the charts for the season. However, as it turns out, the song ranked sixth for the season based on download numbers—
Although it didn’t flop, it didn’t meet Lin Yuan’s expectations.
The more interesting part was…
Though the song’s seasonal ranking didn’t meet Lin Yuan’s expectations, downloads for “Rooftop” were phenomenally high, with eight million on the first day alone!
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Eight million on the first day.
This was a record only expected for chart-topping songs in the past!
Lin Yuan clearly understood what this meant.
The audience expanded, but this new batch of audience members had slightly different tastes from those in Qin-Qi. The population of Chu Province was not any less than that of Qin-Qi!
When given some thought, it made sense.
If the Celestial Dynasty conquered Neon in the real world, the rankings for Neon’s music and anime works would inevitably undergo significant changes!
This was undeniable.
Some works may appeal to the people of Qin Province, but not necessarily to those from Qi Province, and even if they appealed to both Qin and Qi, they might not necessarily appeal to those from Chu Province…
This led to such changes.
But despite the changes in rankings, these works undeniably brought in significantly more revenue!
So, when Lin Yuan saw that the song’s ranking didn’t reach his expectations, he wasn’t discouraged. Instead, he was excited!
In other words…
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
The value of a ranking had increased!
Furthermore, Lin Yuan noticed that the works preceding his also experienced an increase in their statistics—a universal increase!
This led Lin Yuan to wonder:
“In the future, many industry standards may change accordingly, such as what constitutes a ‘hit songwriter’…”
Next, let’s look at the pseudonym Chu Kuang.
The seventh volume of “Ghost Blowing Lamp” also benefited from the merger. Many readers from Chu land became interested in this work and started reading from the first volume, just like the readers from Qin-Qi had started zealously catching up with the works from Chu land…
However, Chu Kuang’s ranking among short story writers had dropped.
This was because several short story writers from Chu land had made it into the top ten.
And the one who reaped the greatest benefits was Shadow!
Presumably, this was due to the style of Shadow’s works meshing well with the taste of the Chu land audience?
After merger in the first month not only Lin Yuan released a song, but also the animated adaptation of his comic “King of the Net” was aired!
Originally, Lin Yuan was concerned that this animated series may be crushed by animations from Chu land.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
However, that was not the case.
The animation quickly became one of the most popular animations of January, ranking fifth in terms of heat!
Among the top four on the most popular animated series ranking, three were from Chu Province.
It was clear, people from Chu Province seemed to love “King of the Net”.
As a result, Shadow, the cartoonist, attracted a massive fanbase from Chu Province, leading to a whopping thirty million followers!
One could say…
As the world’s landscape transformed, Lin Yuan was reaping the benefits. He deliberately summarised the achievements of his pseudonyms after the joining of Chu Continent and the subsequent merger.
In summary.
The pseudonym Chu Kuang, which handled his works in the literature field, had a fandom surpassing 70 million on Tribe, with a literary prestige reaching 720,000…
The pseudonym Xian Yu, which handled his works in the music field, had a fandom surpassing 70 million on Tribe, with a music prestige reaching 710,000…
The pseudonym Shadow, which handled his works in the art field, had a fandom surpassing 30 million on Tribe, with an art prestige reaching 330,000…
In conclusion.
Lin Yuan did not feel disheartened about the intensification of competitive pressures across various industries and the decline in the influence rankings of his many identities. On the contrary, he looked forward to more mergers coming about soon!
His sources of prestige were rapidly increasing!
Of course, this also served as a reminder to Lin Yuan that the standards for his future works should not just be satisfactory, but they needed to be classic!
This world…
Was becoming increasingly challenging.
Once the seven continents completely merge, Blue Star would likely enter a hellish level of difficulty. Only then would the real battles between gods commence!
