Meanwhile.

It appears that the same process is being repeated in many places.

Many listeners first listened to "Blue Star".

After listening, many people were astounded!

"Holy crap!"

"Father Yang's song is truly grand and heroic!"

"As expected of Father Yang, his first release already has a groundbreaking rhythm!"

"Xian Yu's dream of a triple crown might be directly terminated."

"Yang Zhongming is really too strong!"

"Every time Father Yang competes, he shows a powerful force that leaves the runner-up hopeless."

"..."

It seems that all listeners who have finished listening to "Blue Star" subconsciously feel that this song must win the championship.

But…

When they finished listening to "Breaking of the East Wind", they could not help but be dumbfounded, and their previous thoughts began to waver.

This song seems no worse than "Blue Star"…

"Fish Papa's song is so beautiful!"

"In terms of aesthetics and imagery, 'Breaking of the East Wind' is the best of Fish Papa's songs to date!"

"The integration of classical poetry with modern pop music blatantly breaks the existing divide between new poetry and lyrics. The alternative use of ancient and modern lyrics gives a sense of time and space entanglement. Xian Yu's 'Breaking of the East Wind' is truly amazing!"

"After listening to 'Breaking of the East Wind', I feel slightly intoxicated."

"Mother God, Xian Yu's song is scary. As a composition student, this song primarily uses gong scale, and its instrumentation heavily features traditional classical instruments from the Blue Star Kingdom. Even though the lyrics are still colloquial, the musical effect is even more classical than 'Wishing We Last Forever', a song that went completely classical with its lyrics!"

"Has this created a new music genre?"

"Composition student here, Xian Yu's song is unbeatable!"

"I don't understand composition, but I have learned to play the Erhu. To an ordinary listener like me, 'Breaking of the East Wind' is absolutely a beautiful piece, especially the addition of Erhu in the middle, which is simply divine!"

"..."

People who understand music composition excitedly and almost crazily explain to the public the groundbreaking nature of "Breaking of the East Wind" in terms of composition!

Of course.

Appraisals that praise "Blue Star" for its magnificence also frequently appear among these explanations.

In fact, other songs from the Battle of the Gods that were released at the same time also had many internet users discussing them.

But if someone were to count the number of topics, they would find:

The songs of Xian Yu and Yang Zhongming have absolutely crushed other songs of the same period in terms of discussion heat!

For a time, netizens did not know how to judge.

"I thought Father Yang was sure to win, but now I'm not sure how to judge. Fish Papa's song doesn't lose to Father Yang's work at all!"

"The two songs are hard to compare, their styles are completely different."

"One is unfettered grandeur and exuberance, the other is sentimental sorrow and beauty."

"The former is heroic, the latter is graceful."

"I like both songs, so I downloaded them both..."

"I also downloaded both."

"In terms of composition creativity, Xian Yu's song is simply of the pioneering master level!"

"How to compare?"

"..."

This result is something that no one expected.

In the past Battles of the Gods, even if the superiority of the songs wasn't immediately clear after listening, the strength of each could at least be determined.

But this year.

Both Yang Zhongming's work and Xian Yu's work seem to have reached the peak in their respective styles!

It's like being faced with two completely different but equally delicious dishes, and having to make a choice.

There's no way to choose!

Absolutely no way to choose!

This is not only true for the audience, but also for the professional music industry. The two songs each stand out in their own right...

For a while.

Everyone was a bit stunned.

Xian Yu and Yang Zhongming… share the limelight?

In fact, in the previous "Our Song", Xian Yu had already tied with Yang Zhongming once, but at that time everyone did not pay too much attention or struggle over the result, treating it as purely an entertainment competition.

After all, it was just a variety show.

Because of the quirky competition system and rules, the outcome couldn't say much.

But this is a battle of the gods!

Despite Yang Zhongming's all-out effort, he didn't crush Xian Yu - instead, the two were evenly matched, leaving countless audience members unable to judge who was superior...

And what this represents is entirely different!

Yes.

In many people's eyes, it was expected that Yang Zhongming would compose a song like "Blue Star". While it was indeed stunning, it wasn't particularly surprising.

Any song composer who can rank among the top five with "Blue Star" would certainly possess such ability!

But the fact that Xian Yu could create a song like "East Wind Broken" was a huge surprise!

Even though Xian Yu's previous songs had received high ratings, they were still predominantly pop songs.

Whether motivational or romantic, they merely represented excellent performances within set boundaries.

This time, "East Wind Broken" completely broke away from conventional music styles, creating a refreshing and unique melody!

That melody, resembling ancient tunes, yet possessing the aesthetic of modern simplicity, was irresistible!

Those who knew composition, once they heard "East Wind Broken", could easily discover the sheer horror of this song!

Even those who didn't understand composition could still appreciate the beauty and grace of the song...

So.

The vast majority of the audience, after listening to the songs, chose to download both of them.

Then.

More and more people recalled the image that Zheng Jing posted before the Battle of the Gods began—

Sun Wukong battling Erlang Shen!

The showdown between Xian Yu and Yang Zhongming was indeed like Sun Wukong battling Erlang Shen!

Even the powerful Yang Zhongming didn't suppress Xian Yu, who represented Sun Wukong, as effortlessly as Buddha with his Five Finger Mountain!

"Mother Zheng's predictions are spot on..."

"I declare, Mother Zheng has won this round!"

"Impressive, Mother Zheng predicted this from the start!"

"The first one to predict it was An Hong, these two are like Sun Wukong battling Erlang Shen, they could fight for a year without a decisive victor!"

"After listening to 'Blue Star': Father Yang is unstoppable!"

"After listening to 'East Wind Broken': Fish Papa is guaranteed to win!"

"It's not that I want to sit on the fence, but they are both so good, this is a real godly battle!"

"I bet Mother Zheng listened to the new songs from these two in advance, that's why she foresaw it with an image!"

"..."

Everyone online was making light remarks in Zheng Jing's comment section.

Just then.

Someone exclaims online:

"Bloody hell, the seasonal chart is updated, quickly look at the number of downloads!"

It turns out that the December seasonal chart had started to be calculated.

Everyone hurriedly opened the chart.

At the moment.

The song ranked first on the seasonal chart was "Blue Star", with a whopping more than 36 million downloads!

Following closely in second place was Xian Yu's "East Wind Broken", with just over 35 million downloads!

"Did Father Yang win?"

Just as someone finished saying this, someone else on the internet exclaimed:

"Damn, Fish Papa has overtaken!"

Alongside the shouted surprise, many of them saw that, in an instant, "Blue Star" had fallen from first to the second place.

Meanwhile, "East Wind Broken" had become the new first place holder with a slight lead!

"So, did Fish Papa win?"

Before everyone could sigh again, they saw...

Yang Zhongming was back in first place!

What followed was a sight many would never forget in their lifetimes:

Under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone, Xian Yu and Yang Zhongming's songs went back and forth in the rankings.

Yang Zhongming might be in first place five minutes ago, but five minutes later Xian Yu would become the new first place.

After a while, Yang Zhongming reclaimed his spot...

And a moment later, so did Xian Yu... Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

This top position kept alternating between the two.

Looking back at the image of Sun Wukong battling Erlang Shen, if they remembered correctly, the battle between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen was also like this, back and forth.
