Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 112 Alas, Gods Have No Form - Xia Shen [15 Updates]

But Xia Shen continued, he kept going!
"God is in heaven because I am on earth!"

"I walk in front, and the gods follow closely behind!"

"There was no daytime in the world, only endless night, but when I awoke, the night was as bright as day!"

The live stream comment section was like a bunch of surgical patients under general anesthesia, all of them completely silent.

The entire event became a one-man show for Xia Shen.

If the number of viewers in the live stream hadn't not dropped, but hadn't actually surged, reaching nearly 50 in an instant—making it the live stream with the highest number of viewers in his recent streams—people might have thought the live stream was doomed.

After all, nobody's talking! Even if someone does, it's just that someone occasionally throws out a question mark or two.

Xia Shen continued singing.

This is actually his response to the recent claims that he is the god of rap.

Just like with "King of Electronic Music," he also hopes to skip this controversy with this move.

He would never choose to wear such a title, as it would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

This song from another world, which is also more satirical, fits this perfectly and is very suitable to be used as a response now.

This can also be seen as telling his fans and the extremely hot-tempered fans of the traditional rap scene to stop harping on it, as it's pointless.

The content about historical figures that follows doesn't need much modification, because historically, the two worlds were actually not that different; it was only in modern times that some divergence occurred, creating a crossroads.

So he continued singing.

"Since my birth, Li Bai has laid down his pen!"

"Even the God of War, Fengxian, wouldn't dare to fight me!"

"The character '王' (Wang) is a flawed piece of jade; add three more strokes and it becomes '狂' (Kuang)!"

"Talented individuals are pouring into my fishpond like carp crossing a river!"

"Even if Earth is destroyed, I will wait for your death!"

"I generate heat from giant poop, therefore I am the sun!"

Then repeat the chorus again.

"Hold on! Hold on!"

Xia Shen stopped, took out a thermos, and soaked honeysuckle and ginseng in it.

He paused the music, then leisurely twisted open the cap and took a sip.

Then he let out a comfortable sigh: "Ah—"

Just as the comments section of the live stream was about to erupt, he raised his hand, made a 'no need for further words' gesture, and put it to his lips: "Shh—"

Then, he pressed his hand down again, continued the music, and started singing again.

This time it's even more outrageous.

"Newton and Gauss were born before me. Is it a case of the slow bird having to fly first, or should they avoid my sharp edge?"

"King Ying Zheng of Qin was born a thousand years earlier than me. Does he fear me or will he refuse to meet me?"

"When I close my eyes, it's dark; when I open them, it's light. If I'm not the protagonist, then who is?"

"I want to look in the mirror, but God has no form; you are a thousand-mile dike, but I am just an anthill!"

"Scholars and poets have written hundreds of Tang poems, but after I was born, they all became Jiang Lang, whose talent had run dry!"

"The secret of the circle has puzzled mathematicians for thousands of years, but I can instantly calculate the circumference of a circle using πD!"

"It took tens of thousands of years of evolution for monkeys to evolve into humans!"

"I was born because of my superior genes!"

"I know you all have a lot of so-called 'sweet songs,' so watch how I manage to make a single song surpass all the songs of the Tang Dynasty!"

At this point in the song, Xia Shen even stood up and swayed to the rhythm.

Putting everything else aside, you really feel happy when you sing this kind of song.

There is absolutely no need to consider any other factors.

Just enjoy yourself and that's all.

It has a kind of simple and direct aesthetic, like watching movies on a website.

Next, Xia Shen pointed one finger to the sky and continued singing in an angry and extremely arrogant tone.

"A king must not meet a king!"

"You motherfucker, you're avoiding my attacks!"

With an arrogant tug at his collar and a few shakes of his head, Xia Shen pointed at the screen.

"A king must not meet a king!"

Avoid my sharp edge!

On the other side, Xiao Zhongge, who was watching the live stream, was completely numb.

This song, "God's Rap," crashed his computer.

If "King of Electronic Music" is just a recurring theme in his music, then...

So this song, "God's Rap," adapted from "Intro," practically unleashes his past life memories. It's so Tang Dynasty-esque; just like its lyrics say, it truly is a one-of-a-kind song that overshadows the entire Tang Dynasty.

The lyrics of the entire song are hilarious.

Although the song is titled "God's Rap," the feeling after listening to it is that the song is not actually about Xia Shen singing from the perspective of a rap god.

Instead, it takes the perspective of an ordinary person and uses seemingly far-fetched but actually somewhat illogical statements to say that every ordinary person can be a god.

For example, 'Newton and Gauss were born before me, is it because they were slow learners who had to start early or because they wanted to avoid my sharp edge?'

If you were really born at the same time as these two, wouldn't you be furious?

It's been hanging on the wall for a while now.

And then there's that line, "When I close my eyes, it's dark; when I open them, it's light. If I'm not the protagonist, who is?"

The lyrics throughout are actually quite similar.

But how should I put it? It's quite funny.

Because anyone can tell that this kind of song is intentional and is trying to be abstract.

Moreover, the listening experience is actually quite good. After all, "Intro" is an opening song on an international stage, so it's impossible for it to be unpleasant or lack musicality.

In addition, although it was during the live broadcast, the microphone was a bit shaky and the sound quality wasn't very good. It certainly couldn't compare to the sound from a recording studio or a live broadcast with so much expensive equipment.

But how to say it?

The song Xia Shen is currently singing, "God's Rap," has lyrics that are so absurd they're hilarious.

But actually, you really need to have some skill to sing it.

Unlike his previous talk flow, and the unclear pronunciation issues that many people criticized in "Nocturne" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", this is different from his previous talk flow.

The lyrics in this song are very clear, and the flow is also good, with even some fast rapping!

Moreover, even when singing live or streaming, his breath control remained very stable, and his rhythm was also consistent.

It's clear that Xia Shen is actually quite talented. He's not the kind of rapper that many traditional rap fans criticize him for, saying he doesn't have any real skills, just some decent arrangement skills, and otherwise isn't a particularly great rapper.

Is this considered a response?
Xiao Zhongge guessed.

It's just a response to the current pace, a lighthearted laugh.

It means: That's enough, I'm not a rap god.

It was also a way of smoothing things over.

After all, this kind of song is obviously related to the Tang Dynasty, and not just in a superficial way, but in a way that uses meaningful words to veer towards the Tang Dynasty.

Similar to the "idiot forum" from a few years ago, the big shots there deliberately said some very idiotic things with some profound words, but if you look closely, you will feel that there is some truth to it.

This is purely intentional. No normal person would take this kind of song seriously, right?
Xia Shen might be thinking this way.

A song, very long.

After finishing his song, Xia Shen chatted with the audience and looked at their comments about his song "Tang".

Finally, I left with this: "Don't call me some kind of god or king anymore. Really, I'm just a singer. This is my job. I don't deserve such titles. Consider this song my response. I hope everyone can be happy when they listen to my song. As long as it makes me laugh a couple of times, that's a great deed for me."

Dear viewers, that concludes our live stream for today.

After saying that, Xia Shen turned off the live stream.

At the same time, deep in summer.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

He's made himself so clear, hopefully it'll work, and this kind of thing won't happen again.

Otherwise, he would be under a lot of pressure.

He just wanted to honestly make the music he liked.

He really couldn't stand all this talk of gods and kings all the time.

And just as he thought, since the song was so obviously blatant, probably no one would really take it seriously or pay attention to it.
Especially since the rap scene already has a lot of abstract and eccentric characters, and there have always been quite a few people in this scene who deliberately play with abstraction.

In fact, it was pretty much what Xia Shen had thought.

Shortly after his live stream ended, clips of the stream and his final words circulated online in the form of video clips and screen recordings.

It did indeed elicit a burst of laughter and comments.

For example, the number of views on the pink TV screen increased very quickly, reaching over a million in less than half an hour.

This demonstrates the immense popularity and potential of the data.

The fact that it reached a million views in half an hour left many content creators stunned.

This has the potential to reach tens of millions of views!

You should know that the pink TV site is different from Douyin and Kuaishou. Here, breaking 10 million views is a very difficult thing.

Once it's broken, it will be phenomenal.

Unlike Douyin and Kuaishou, where hundreds of millions of views are considered phenomenal, the reach here is much more meaningful.

The comment section was also densely packed.

"They all call him the god of rap, but alas, gods have no form - Xia Shen."

(Since I've already written so much, and it's already this late, I might as well write it all at once and post it all at once!)
