Coming back to his senses, Xu Qiong felt uneasy all over.
Perhaps someone was thinking of him?
But in this situation, the only one who would be thinking of him is likely Firefly.
Come to think of it, he really was one half of an ill-fated pair.
Out of the three, one was in the ICU, one was a 2D character waiting to be resurrected, and one was about to go to jail. Was he destined to bring misfortune to his wives?
However, looking at it now, there's still a chance to turn things around.
Otherwise, he really didn't want to imitate a certain blonde cult leader.
Meanwhile, in Guinaifen's livestream room.
After she finished pulling for Aglaea, she finally started pushing the main story with excitement, ready to have a blast farming the new map!
At this moment, the number of online viewers in the livestream room had already exceeded ten thousand.
Even other gaming influencers had actually started streaming "honkai: star rail".
Even Himeko and Welt, after downloading honkai: star rail, began catching up on the story progress one after another.
After getting to know Aglaea, Stelle and Dan Heng followed her to once again learn about the past and present of Amphoreus in detail.
The detailed division of the powers managed by the twelve Titans, the arrival of the black tide, and the chaotic era of strife.
Why the Chrysos Heirs wanted to seize the Sparks and achieve Re-Creation.
And.
The first oracle!
"A group of heroes embarks on a journey of god-slaying, plucking twelve Sparks to achieve the great feat of Re-Creation?"
Guinaifen read the first prophecy softly to herself.
Discussion voices also began to appear in the livestream room.
[The authority and abilities of every Titan are explained very clearly. Does this Author actually have some real skill?]
[So this is the mission the Chrysos Heirs carry. Then what are we here for? Are we really just here to find train fuel?]
[All bark and no bite, right? It's a turn-based game. No matter how great the plot is, I can't imagine how it could match the shock of the Astral Express Crew's live Trailblaze.]
[By the way, this Aglaea is a bit strange, isn't she? She clearly knows everything, so why won't she let us spread news about the Outer Realm?]
[And... these golden threads can sense if someone is lying, but why do I just feel like something's wrong?]
[The person above hit the nail on the head. They call it a ritual, but this is completely an interrogation!]
On the Astral Express.
To be fair, watching the Trailblaze journey from this perspective is indeed quite novel.
Himeko and Welt, after rushing through the story, finally caught up with Guinaifen's current main story progress.
On the screen right now was the scene of Aglaea talking with Stelle.
The two were soaking in warm pool water, with Aglaea's golden threads wound around her fingertips and connected to Stelle's.
She tilted her head, gently resting her chin on her hand, staring straight at the other with a hint of lazy beauty and a smile.
"The Titan gods who once ruled the world have now become the cause of the corrosion of Amphoreus. Some unknown force has changed most of them, inviting anger and madness."
"When all the Sparks are gathered, the miracle of creation will appear, and the broken world will be reborn."
"Perhaps, you are the reinforcements Okhema has been waiting for..."
During the conversation, a large amount of information was fully revealed by Aglaea.
These things also caused Himeko and Welt to frown one after another.
On the other hand, Stelle gave a confident answer: "Saving the world is our specialty!"
Aglaea smiled: "You must have personally experienced many miracles to be able to say those words without hesitation."
"But please promise me, no matter what, do not reveal the existence of the Outer Realm to the people!"
"That is my only request."
Her tone was firm and decisive, giving Himeko a sense of immersion, as if she were the one negotiating with her.
However, after hearing this conversation and explanation, there were still many doubts.
If this game is truly proceeding in sync with reality, then why, in reality right now, is Aglaea not allowing them to talk about news from beyond the sky?
In other words, if this game was just made up by the game's Author.
Then what message does he want to convey to the outside world?
Is Amphoreus facing its end?
"Welt, the immersion of this game is very strong, but it's still unclear what its nature actually is."
Himeko analyzed: "If it's synchronized, the children's current actions seem quite good."
"Without knowing the other party's strength, they are trying to fish for useful information first. Very cautious."
Although many viewers in the livestream room were complaining about why Stelle had to confront Aglaea here.
But as a member of the Astral Express Crew, Himeko was still very calm.
After all, from their perspective, no one knows if what Aglaea says is true, or even if she might be the mastermind behind the scenes.
"I think so too," Welt affirmed.
"Let's keep watching."
"After all, I feel that this Lady Aglaea currently seems a bit too..."
...
"You're too beautiful, Agy!"
"Look Agy, doesn't this look like you? I tried out your character, and she's simply stunning!"
The main story reached Aglaea's part, and the first limited banner was also released.
Within the Aha Star, it naturally caused quite a stir.
Tiresias held the Information Slate and approached Aglaea with a smile to let her see.
At the same time, she was frantically rotating Aglaea's character model on the main screen.
"There's also the main story part, Agy!" Tiresias pointed a finger. "She's actually exactly the same as the you in my memory."
"That appearance sitting in the pool... as expected of Okhema's number one beauty. I can't even tell what's reality and what's virtual anymore."
Having Tiresias fluttering in front of her, Aglaea smiled, though her face was actually written with helplessness.
"My Teacher, you really are something."
"Even though you've changed back, why do you still feel like a child?"
"Also," Aglaea thought for a moment and added, looking towards where Xu Qiong was, "it's because he depicted me well. My image in reality should be quite unlikable, shouldn't it?"
Even before she regained her humanity, Aglaea was very aware of where her own problems lay.
It was just that she was also very helpless.
In that situation at the time, she simply didn't have the energy to care.
Hearing this, Tiresias touched the other's hand, wanting to comfort Aglaea.
Theoretically, this situation should have been a post-disaster relieved catch-up, until a voice came over.
"Ho."
"So you, cold-blooded woman, actually have some self-awareness? I thought you didn't know at all."
The atmosphere on the scene instantly froze.
Anaxa walked over slowly, crossing her arms and clicking her tongue in wonder:
"This game passes the mark. Being able to show your cold-blooded side to the entire galaxy, I feel like my previous contributions have suddenly become more valuable."
Aglaea: "..."
To be fair.
At times, Anaxa's lethality is definitely not inferior to speaking weirdly.
Like the kind of person who could say 'really giving it your all' to Phainon.
This also caused Aglaea's somewhat self-reproachful expression to vanish immediately upon noticing the newcomer.
From her gentle face, a hint of sharpness was revealed instead: "Forget it, My Teacher."
"Children's words carry no harm. I'll just take this as the thoughtless words of a naughty child."
Children's words carry no harm...
Seeing the two at each other's throats, Tiresias covered her forehead with her hand.
"Xiao Xia, don't say strange things, hey!"
[Ding! You have collected 1000 Cosmic Shards and can redeem the new version 3.1 content.]
[Redeem? Yes/No]
