OFR – Chapter 359 One Man in Power, the World Silenced (Part 7)!

In the conference room, seated at the chairman’s spot, Chen Shaojie lost control and slammed the table, his face darker than ever before!

At this very moment, nearly all public opinion across the internet had turned against what was once the industry’s leading streaming platform. This internet-wide storm of debate also drew in countless ordinary netizens who had never cared about the livestreaming world, quietly slipping into this grand spectacle that carried on into the early morning.

Now, the popularity of this event—hosted by Quanmin TV—was skyrocketing to new heights.

The attention was so overwhelming that the platform officials dared not release any more system notifications in the livestream rooms. Even the system message that should have ended the showdown was suppressed.

The staff working behind the scenes could only sit silently, hardly daring to breathe, as they stared at the screen—where a single ID had, within a few hours, gathered the weight of nearly all online discussion, attention, and voices, towering with unstoppable momentum, unmatched by anyone.

That ID was Youdian Leng (“A Bit Cold”).

Tonight, this ID had vividly demonstrated to everyone what the title of Shenhao—the “Godly Patron”—truly meant, in all its overwhelming weight.

In the past, livestream viewers thought that anyone who could casually spend thousands, even tens of thousands, in a streamer’s room—forcing streamers to grovel and fawn over them—was already an impressive rich patron.

Those who could spend hundreds of thousands were considered peerless Shenhaos—so rare that only a few existed on any platform.

Figures like Guan Zong, Yuanyang Jun, Luo Tianshen, and Qian Nanshen were in the eyes of everyone Super Shenhaos, worthy of the industry’s “Top Ten” list. Thus, in people’s minds, the threshold of being a Shenhao was not very high.

They assumed that throwing money recklessly to gain the worship of streamers, or commanding the respect of other patrons, was enough to qualify.

But after witnessing Youdian Leng’s boundless might, after feeling that bone-deep shock stabbing straight through their chests, they finally realized what the title truly meant.

Shen (god)—able to do what mortals cannot.
Hao (tycoon)—a grandeur unmatched under heaven.

Each character alone implied unrivaled pride, and together, the word Shenhao became something awe-inspiring beyond comprehension.

“Cold-Hao is unstoppable!”

Someone, overwhelmed with excitement after watching the internet-wide scandal war crush Douyu, sent this barrage message across the livestream. Within seconds, the entire screen filled with variations of this same praise.

Thus, the title “Cold-Hao”—a name laced with reverence and worship—spread like wildfire through the entire livestreaming industry for the very first time.

In that moment, nearly every viewer, whether part of an alliance team or a top-ranking streamer, felt their blood boil.

Because tonight, they had witnessed history being made with their own eyes. They had seen the birth of a legend—one man sweeping through the industry and crushing the mighty Douyu platform.

As for disbelief or shock? Those who had joined the stream late might still feel it. But for most who had been here all along, they had grown numb, having already seen too many impossible things come true in one night.

By now, Youdian Leng’s overwhelming momentum—and Douyu still struggling helplessly under the flood of public opinion, plus the silent retreat of the Fish King—finally shattered the last shred of confidence held by Douyu’s most popular official streamers.

Everyone across the internet could see them. Those famous streamers, once bright stars, now looked pale as paper, their faces filled with confusion, panic, or despair. One of them, the gentle and timid Na Xiaodou, even broke down in tears.

It was clear to anyone with eyes: this long, twisted battle was over.

Douyu could no longer be saved.

Not a single team, not an alliance, not even a legendary patron could turn the tide—Douyu as a whole was powerless before Youdian Leng.

Against a Shenhao King whose power had long surpassed the limits of what the industry could endure, Douyu had fully retreated.

Now, with the internet itself pressing in, even Douyu’s survival was uncertain—it could no longer shield even its most beloved streamers.

Those in the livestream room might have been famous stars, but to Youdian Leng, they were nothing more than pawns, easily wiped away with a wave of his hand.

That was why they were confused, afraid, even despairing. Yet, clinging to their last shred of dignity, none of them openly begged for mercy.

They simply pursed their lips, looking up silently at that suffocatingly powerful ID—hoping its master might show mercy.

As for Na Xiaodou, her tearful beauty won her sympathy, and soon her fans began flooding the chat, pleading on her behalf.

The barrage that had been filled with praises of “Cold-Hao” now started mixing with messages of compassion and requests for leniency.

But everyone knew—no matter how many pleas appeared on the screen, the final decision still lay with Youdian Leng. That ID, glowing ever brighter in its long silence, was the only one who could decide their fate.

And now, not only Na Xiaodou’s fans, not only the countless users watching online—but even the once-aloof chairmen and executives of major platforms—were all fixated on that ID, waiting for its next word.

Because at this point, Youdian Leng’s actions would determine not only the fate of those streamers, not only the survival of Douyu itself, but even the future direction of the entire livestreaming industry.

After tonight’s grand event, Youdian Leng’s already fearsome prestige and influence would soar to an unprecedented new peak.

With his Chenshi Fuhua team of hundreds of rising streamers, the support of Guan Zong, Luo Tianshen, Yuanyang Jun, and other powerful leaders, and the countless streamers secretly hoping for mercy from “Cold-Hao”—his call could rally an unstoppable force that the entire industry would have to bow before.

And so, the once-high-and-mighty decision-makers who had been watching with condescension now felt crushed, suffocated beneath the overwhelming aura radiating from Youdian Leng.

A single man stood above all.

No one had ever imagined this. No one in the industry, no ordinary viewer, had ever dreamed of seeing such a day—when one person alone could silence the highest decision-makers of every platform across the streaming world.
