I Joined a Talent Show in the Cultivation World and Became a God

[Auditioning for Cultivation Idol Group 101~]

Plot Summary:

Versatile singer and dancer, award-winning Best Actress, marketing queen: Hua Nongying was a superstar at the height of her fame when she transmigrated.

She landed in the middle of a competition in a cultivation world called the Myriad Realms.

No golden finger, no System, no memories. Having just arrived in the Myriad Realms, Hua Nongying couldn't even understand the language.

To make matters worse, the other contestants, dragon girls, angels, elves, and catgirls, all looked like they could beat her to a pulp.

She had to perform in the opening round right away. She thought she could amaze the Myriad Realms with her own specialties, only to discover that the competition's performances involved spiritual arts and martial techniques.

As a native of Earth, how was she supposed to know any spiritual arts or martial techniques? Help…

Faced with this brutal start, Hua Nongying decided to do things differently.

A sword cultivator has a sword, and an actress has a silver tongue. With the most natural acting skills, she would become the biggest show-off in the Myriad Realms.

Twelve hundred years ago, a strange phenomenon appeared in the Myriad Realms. A divine realm materialized in the sky, visible from every corner of the world.

The divine realm was a world unto itself, shrouded in clouds and mist and filled with countless treasures: spirit pools on celestial mountains, imperial-grade spiritual weapons, Nine-Turn Divine Pills, and more.

The Divine Realm held a Divine Competition once every hundred years. The divine sons and daughters who competed were the geniuses of their respective clans, and the contest offered rich rewards.

After every competition, the young prodigies brought back all sorts of treasures, sparking one bloody upheaval after another across the Myriad Realms. After five competitions, the treasures from the divine realm had turned the world upside down.

The Vermilion Bird Clan, one of the Four Great Divine Clans, fell into decline. The dragon clan rose to dominance, while the elves, once low in status and prized only for their beauty, rose to become one of the most powerful factions.

The Divine Competition was so important, yet the sole measure of success was the contestants' popularity with the people of the Myriad Realms.

The most wondrous thing about the divine realm was that during the competition, its spiritual projections could be sensed and summoned in the minds of cultivators throughout the Myriad Realms.

Those with powerful spiritual senses could project the images into the sky for low-level cultivators and ordinary people to watch.

As the people of the Myriad Realms watched the competition, their thoughts and reactions were converted into popularity, which bolstered the contestants.

Hua Nongying thought she'd be in her element in a competition where popularity mattered, only to discover that the people of the Myriad Realms worshipped strength above all.

Just as she decided to give it everything she had, fate (me, the author) finally delivered her golden finger…

The golden finger arrived, but not quite, because Hua Nongying didn't know about it.

In a world where everyone knows Hua Nongying is awesome, but she doesn't know she's awesome…

Romance Summary:

Yun Poyue, the elf divine son who won the last Divine Sons' Competition, the most handsome man in the Myriad Realms, and the youngest Nine-Turn Spirit King.

Heaven gave him outstanding talent and beauty, but took away his kindness and capacity for love.

Mixed-blood, weak, raised amid war, abandoned by his parents, and "incomplete" in body: each word hides countless stories of a tragic childhood.

With all these misfortunes piled on, Yun Poyue grew into a cruel, vicious, and vindictive man.

He had no heart, no love, and no mercy. He hated the filthy Myriad Realms and its unfair fate. When the divine path demanded that he examine his heart and explain why he wanted to become emperor, he roared back: I want to destroy the Myriad Realms.

She was like a beam of light, illuminating the dark Myriad Realms and him as well.

Some people are born with the radiance of the sun, leaving nowhere for filth to hide.

Hey, I heard you come from a place that values love and peace. Can I go home with you?
