The Queen's Rumored Father

"what!"

After a very high note, Deng Ziqi began to sing.

I never imagined I could go to such lengths for you!

Even if mountains crumble and tsunamis rage, I wouldn't want to escape without you!

My brain has gone crazy for you!

My pulse and heartbeat are irrelevant without you!

boom!

Viewers who were previously immersed in the sad atmosphere created by Meng Xiaoxuan were suddenly ignited.

Light Years Away!

Another hit song of legendary quality!

Deng Ziqi is really suited to be a singer.

Her songs always manage to ignite people's passion.

This is true for bubbles, and it remains true for this light-year away.

That intense rhythm is so catchy it's almost hypnotic.

"This... is so strong! Xiaoxuan and Ziqi, it's a tough choice!" JJ hummed along softly. These two songs were so catchy that JJ could sing almost 80% of them after only hearing them once.

"Ziqi's position is better. If Xiaoxuan were in front of Ziqi, Ziqi would lose," Huazai said.

The implication is that Deng Ziqi will not lose.

So the one who lost was naturally... Meng Xiaoxuan.

Xu Yuan did not speak.

Because Andy Lau hit the nail on the head.

Singers who debut later in the season have an advantage. Especially someone like Deng Ziqi, who excels at using energetic music to stimulate the audience's hormones, making them excited and forget about the previous song as much as possible.

"Explosive, absolutely explosive!" Director Hongtao kept shaking his head and exclaiming, "Tonight, at least three songs of the highest caliber have been born. There's Meng Xiaoxuan's 'Invisible Wings,' Deng Ziqi's 'Beyond Light Years,' and Meng Xiaoxuan and Xu Yuan's collaboration, 'Accompany You Through the Long Years.'"

"It's a pity that if I had put spending the long years with you last, Xiaoxuan could have won, but now..."

Teacher He nodded, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Invisible Wings.

If things continue like this, there's a high probability that Deng Ziqi will surpass Meng Xiaoxuan.

Meng Xiaoxuan's song genre and ranking are at a huge disadvantage.

Her "Invisible Wings" and Deng Ziqi's "Light Years Away" are evenly matched, it all comes down to who sings first.

The first to sing loses!

Teacher He turned his attention to Teacher Han Lei at the end, recalling what Xu Yuan and Han Lei had said when they recorded the second episode.

Can Han Lei perform tonight?

Neither of these two girls is weak.

Teacher He was worried for Teacher Han Lei.

On stage, Deng Ziqi finished her performance, causing a sensation throughout the audience.

Meanwhile, Teacher Han Lei quietly walked to the center of the stage, ready to start singing.

After a brief pause by Wang Han, the spotlight shifted to Han Lei.

At the same time, the song title appeared on the big screen.

The audience, television viewers, and online viewers all clearly saw the song's name.

"Borrow another five hundred years from heaven? What does that mean?"

"What arrogance! This is..."

"Oh my god, this is just the prelude, why do I feel my scalp tingling?"

"Meng Xiaoxuan's sorrowful strength, Deng Ziqi's frenzied rock and roll—all my feelings vanished, and I found myself trembling! Shaking!"

"Same here, same here, what song is this?"

"It was so powerful, it scared me to tears!"

The online comments were relatively quiet today. Because the performances were so spectacular and the breaks were so short, most people didn't bother typing, afraid of interrupting their enjoyment of this night that rivaled a golden night of music.

But that won't work now; people can't hold back anymore.

Han Lei's songs are so amazing!

"Songwriter and composer, Yan Zhenqing!"

JJ stood up immediately!

The song list for the second round was not announced because it was not known beforehand who would be shortlisted for the final singing competition.

So we can only see the subtitles displayed on the big screen.

This song, "Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven," was written by Yan Zhenqing!

Yan Zhenqing has teamed up with Han Lei!

Andy Lau was taken aback, then looked at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan seemed to have known all along that Andy Lau would look over, and smiled slightly.

Everyone remained silent, as the music had reached the point where Han Lei was to start singing.

"Following the gentle curves of the undulating landscape,"

Let the horse roam freely, loving the Central Plains, the North, and the South of the Yangtze River.

Facing the companionship of ice blades, blood swords, and the vicissitudes of life,

Cherish the golden years that Heaven has bestowed upon me.

Powerful!

Tell the story in detail!

Han Lei seemed to be telling the story of his motherland.

With his singer's voice, he led everyone to experience the emperor's perspective!

"A person of integrity and courage has nothing to fear in the face of hardship."

Our passion remains unchanged, year after year!

Life has its ups and downs; good and evil are two separate things.

All for the tomorrow of our dreams!

This section describes the various events that have occurred within this country.

Regardless of whether you are good or bad, everyone is actually striving for the tomorrow they dream of.

It's also a macro perspective, from the nation to the people.

Finally, the tone changes abruptly, and the chorus arrives.

Look! The iron hooves clang, trampling across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!

I stand at the forefront of the storm, firmly grasping the rotation of the sun and moon!

May the world be filled with peace and happiness!

I really want to live another five hundred years!

With a microphone in his left hand and a commanding presence in his right, Han Lei's image was exactly that of an emperor.

Han Lei, the Heavenly King!

Worthy of the name!

With these lyrics, Han Lei waved his hand, and a torrent of steel swept across the land.

When the iron cavalry marches forth, not a blade of grass will remain!

JJ was stunned!

He is a musical genius, a walking CD, with all-around singing skills. He is the kind of person Andy Lau described as having a divine musical talent who can detect even a single wrong note in a song.

He plays music, loves music, and has tried rock, ballads, jazz, and folk music. But he has never tried this singing style before, not because he was unwilling, but because he was not capable.

This song is the voice of an emperor!

In the Chinese music scene, besides Han Lei, there is no one else who can sing this song!

Because only Han Lei possessed a faint, almost imperceptible, imperial aura.

This is fate, mysterious beyond measure.

But this is true of any industry; the battle at the top is never just a contest of skills, but a pinnacle competition full of metaphysics.

Look! The iron hooves clang, trampling across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!

I stand at the forefront of the storm, firmly grasping the rotation of the sun and moon!

May the world be filled with peace and happiness!

I really want to live another five hundred years!

The chorus loops, and Han Lei delivers it all in one go.

And his iron cavalry finally crushed everything in front of them.

All that he could see were his subjects.

Even superstar Andy Lau couldn't help but stand up.

He was already in tears.

Yellow skin, black hair, black eyes, and Mandarin Chinese!

Andy Lau's patriotism is beyond question.

Or rather, who among those born in the land of China doesn't have a sincere patriotic heart?

clap clap clap!

Andy Lau clapped.

They clapped their hands out!

His tears kept flowing down his face, but his hands never stopped for even a second.

"good!"

Andy Lau shouted from the audience in Cantonese.

Deng Ziqi looked completely bewildered, wondering what was going on.

How could it be okay? It's just a matter of making the background music louder and the chords a bit more old-fashioned, right? She's not from that generation; she doesn't understand many of those sentiments.

clap clap clap!

More applause followed.

The camera panned across a group of celebrities.

Zhang Yu, Bibi, Zhang Jie, Cao Ge, Meng Xiaoxuan, Xu Yuan, Teacher He, Teacher Wang Han, Director Hongtao, JJ... there were so many, almost everyone in the audience had tears in their eyes.

The plea for another five hundred years from heaven was not the voice of ordinary people, nor a personal prayer, but the final roar of a monarch for the sake of the entire world.

It is both a plea and a rebuke.

It is a love for the country and a concern for the people.

Without a doubt, tonight, there will only be one emperor on the stage of "Singer"!

The emperor of the Chinese music scene has returned!
