The woman in the black dress gently raised her head. As more and more light shone upon her, the black dress she was wearing actually started to change color, bit by bit.

It went from black to white, the entire transformation only taking a matter of seconds.

Her face, which was originally filled with pain and depravity, suddenly brightened into a sweet smile. Then, she looked just like she had before: as pure and as innocent as an angel.

Her smile seemed to wash away everyone’s darkness. With her mouth slightly open, she sang. The lyrics were so moving, beautiful, and gentle, and seemed to purify the entire world.

Everyone felt their depression disappear. The abyss that they had fallen into seemed to have been no more than an illusion.

She wasn’t there to take them to hell, but had come to take them from hell to heaven.

When the last melody ended, all the people present slowly closed their eyes. Even the cameraman was no longer able to control his feelings at this point in time. He followed suit and closed his eyes, but his hands still moved instinctively.

A minute passed, and no one opened their eyes.

Three minutes passed, and still, no one opened their eyes.

Five minutes went by.

“Everyone, are you all just planning to sleep here?” The woman’s voice rang out. “Are you all feeling tired from always having to work so hard?”

Only then did the crowd open their eyes to look up at the woman, who was standing on the stage with a sweet smile on her face.

They could only stare at her in a daze, unable to articulate a single word.

They had only heard one song, and yet it was as if they had experienced a grand concert.

It was such a breathtaking experience. If this woman really did hold a concert in the future, who could say what kind of shocking performance she’d put on then?

“What’s the name of this song?” Tong Can asked in a highly emotional state of mind. He was a veteran singer and knew many lyricists and composers, all of whom were famous people. But he had never heard of anyone who could compose such a tune and write such lyrics.

If such a person existed, then he had to know them.

“‘Fallen World,’” Tang Guo replied.

Chen Yun was puzzled and asked, “Why is it called ‘Fallen World’ and not ‘Light after the Fall’?”

The others were somewhat puzzled as well. This was clearly a song that told the story of an angel walking towards the light again after her fall.

Judging from what Tang Guo meant, it seemed that it wasn’t about an angel receiving redemption after a fall from grace, and yet the song was called “Fallen World.”

Faced with everyone in the crowd wanting an explanation from her, Tang Guo chose to satisfy them.

“Let me give an example. There was once this master who had such a compassionate heart that he couldn’t even bear to step on a little ant and kill it. When he saw that the world was in chaos, that countless people were being invaded by their enemies, losing their homelands and their lives, the master couldn’t bear it. So, he broke his precepts and left the temple, choosing to become a general and fight the enemy.

“After he had slain millions of the enemy, everyone’s lives were filled with light, but the master was still in the fallen world, atoning for the sin of shedding blood with his own hands. Because he was a monk, breaking his precepts meant he would suffer an eternal fall.”

Chen Yun couldn’t help but ask, “Then the light that we see is our light?”

Tang Guo nodded and replied, “You can think about it that way.”

“Who composed this song?” Tong Can was more concerned about this.

Tang Guo stopped smiling, and in a faint voice, she said, “That master.”

The crowd thought Tang Guo was joking, and, thinking she didn’t want to talk about it, they didn’t pursue the topic.

Although Tong Can was quite reluctant to give up, he didn’t make things any more difficult for Tang Guo.

The five judges looked at each other, and, once again, they raised their scorecards at the same time.

“100, 100, 100, 100, 100.”

The result was as expected. Tang Guo was very calm, but the others were the exact opposite.

Chen Yun couldn’t help but ask, “Tang Guo, how come you don’t seem excited at all?”
