Rebirth of the Four Heavenly Kings

At 4 AM, the fluorescent lights of the emergency room hummed. The hands of the Four Heavenly Kings grew cold as Zhang Xueyou let go. An era ended. When they opened their eyes again, they had been reborn into a parallel world—Earth Star. Here was a cultural wasteland: the Chinese music scene was dominated by foreign songs, and young people took pride in speaking foreign languages. They had become the debt-ridden, washed-up band "Ashes," unable to afford even a bowl of noodles with an egg. The "Chinese Entertainment Salvation System" descended—binding condition: four hearts united, none missing. Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, Guo Fucheng, and Li Ming pressed the confirm button simultaneously. Divine singing skills, perfect foundation cultivation, and a millennium of Earth's classic art flooded their minds. They founded "Chinese Stars," starting with a phone recording in a rented room. A song, "Bu Wei Xia," moved a stranger to tears late at night. This is not a path to deification from the clouds. It is the legend of four flesh-and-blood people—who would be poor, afraid, tough-talking but soft-hearted, and whose eyes would redden over an extra slice of beef in a noodle shop—warming an era with the most simple sincerity. "One day, the top ten on the charts will all be Chinese songs." They said this with only twelve yuan in their pockets. But there was light in their eyes.
