Little Gui's livestream.
With Sunday's defeat, the final battle ended with the siblings' embrace.
Guinaifen patted her chest.
Rubbing her slightly moist eyes.
She murmured, "This time... it should really be over."
"Phew..."
"This storyline was really long."
"The sun is already up outside."
"But witnessing such an amazing storyline firsthand was totally worth it!"
"The plot, the dialogue, the animated performances... everything was fantastic!"
"I'm going to search for the BGM from the battle."
"Listen to the full version of Miss Robin's song!"
At that moment.
The game screen darkened.
A line of white text appeared on the screen.
[Amber Era 2158, the first year of the epoch, a burning conspiracy in the land of dreams heralded the dawn of the universe's new age, only to quickly turn to ashes amidst chaos and Confounding.]
Just as Guinaifen was about to exit the game screen, she was stunned!
It appeared again!
Oh my!
The first time we fought against the Divine Lord, after defeating him with Dan Heng and Jing Yuan's combined skills, this thing appeared!
Now it's back again!
And,
Little Gui noticed a crucial detail!
This time, the voiceover was no longer Black Swan's.
But a completely unfamiliar male voice!
[People say many things happened during those forty-eight system hours. A sun was about to fall, a paradise was about to collapse, a world was about to change hands; a body was about to decay, a flock of vultures was about to gather, a pair of siblings was about to part ways.]
[And a deity, once again, fell into slumber. Some cheered for this, some lamented it. Others witnessed it all, though they were insignificant compared to the totality of the universe, saying that this time, He died with dignity.]
Guinaifen, like a startled rabbit.
Perked up her ears,
Listen and watch carefully!
This is an introduction to the current ending of Penacony.
Whether in sentence structure or tone, it bears a striking resemblance to Black Swan's previous narration.
[The galaxy welcomes a pure dawn, and a fierce storm begins to take shape. The calls to dedicate everything to the Amber King grow louder, yet no matter how people scrutinize, time will drive Qlipoth's hammer to fall, over and over, endlessly.]
[The story of the Astral Express has both come to an end and begun anew. Time rolls forward, and the Trailblaze journey is about to turn a new page.]
...
"There's still more!?"
"Holy crap, holy crap, subtitles like this are appearing again?"
"My heart just stopped."
"Whose voice is this narration?"
"Could it be Destiny's Slave—Elio?"
"Oh my god, could this be another fake ending?"
"I can't tell the Dreamscape from reality anymore!"
...
Finally,
after the narration ended.
New content appeared on the screen!
Under a starry sky.
An innocent boy and a romantic girl were engaged in a conversation.
Girl: "Brother, do you think… stars can die?"
Boy: "Why are you suddenly asking that?"
"Because that constellation that looks like a bird seems a bit dim. That… the Swallow Goose Crying Constellation."
Boy: "It's the Annihilation Eagle Constellation. Don't worry, it's still there. It's just that in the inner ring of Penacony, you can only see it during the intertwining of spring and summer."
"But the question you asked… I guess stars can die, just like people."
This sudden dialogue scene
left all the players watching utterly confused!
What's going on here?
But after watching so much of the story, everyone understands.
These fragments at the end often carry profound meanings or foreshadowing!
So at this moment, everyone was paying extra attention!
Afraid to miss any details!
The boy continued: "But little sister, did you know? No star belongs to the present. The starlight we see is the light they emitted long ago."
"Even after a star dies, this light will travel millions of light-years, spanning millions of years, to illuminate the night sky of another world."
"I believe that in our paradise, there will also be such a star, shining with the same light. Its radiance will be eternal, and its name… will be Happiness."
Girl: "Wrong! How could there be only one? There should be two stars, no… a sky full of stars!"
"Hmm, you're right."
"Pinky promise!"
"Pinky promise, nothing can change our ideals."
"Yes, definitely!"
...
"Is this Robin and Sunday when they were kids?"
"If it's them, why are they still using titles at this point?"
"Something feels off, let's keep watching!"
"Suddenly remembered a line from Sleepless Night: 'Finally, savor the taste of eternity~'"
"Is Sleepless Night still gaining significance?"
"One star represents Order, a sky full of stars represents Harmony."
...
The screen slowly faded again.
But this time,
Guinaifen didn't dare to switch to another interface.
This game,
you never know what final twist it's hiding until the very last second!
Indeed.
After a brief delay of a few seconds,
Another line of subtitles appeared!
["Penacony, the Land of Dreams," End]
[Lead Actress
Stelle]
[Starring]
The moment the subtitles appeared,
Guinaifen's breath hitched!
Familiar!
Too familiar!
The same scrolling style of subtitles as before!
The barrage of comments exploded instantly!
...…
"???"
"It's over!"
"Here we go again!!!"
"It's here, it's really here."
"Wuwuwu... Now whenever I see these scrolling subtitles, my heart just panics!"
"Yu Ling, you've really done it all! You've given me PTSD!"
"Could this still be fake? No way? No way?"
"Oh no, I'm still in the dream!"
"Have we really woken up this time?"
"I think it's really over this time."
...
Guinaifen also had a look of utter despair on her face.
Suddenly,
Her gaze shifted!
There seemed to be some subtle differences in the cast list this time.
[Raiden Bosenmori Mei, as Acheron]
[Penacony, as Gallagher]
Apart from these two, the others were mostly real names.
"This is probably due to changes after re-entering the storyline..."
"And since Gallagher is a character fabricated based on a certain History Fictionologist and the various facts of Penacony, it makes sense that his real name here is Penacony."
Guinaifen provided a reasonable explanation.
"As for March 7th's real name being ???, we still don't know March's true identity! We can only wait for Yu Ling to open March 7th's storyline in the future."
[In Eternal Memory, Lazalina Jane Estella]
[Boreklin Tiernan]
[Ragvok Sharl Mikhail]
The subtitles also briefly introduced the lives of these three Nameless.
Even though it was just a few lines,
The amount of information conveyed moved the players who saw it!
Whether this is really the end or not.
The appearance of these three great Nameless prompted a flood of comments in the live stream, showing respect.
...
"I, a Level 60 Trailblazer, pay tribute to the three former Nameless!"
"Mirror Princess, Revolver Captain, and Clockie!"
"Salute!"
"Forever remembered!"
"Their brief introductions made me cry."
"I hope 'Honkai: Star Rail' will release a large-scale memory dungeon, incorporating the stories of these Nameless. I've even thought of a name for it: 'Memories of the Past Spoon'!"
