In the background, the sound of the zither sounded, as if representing the thickness of civilization.
On the screen, accompanied by the lines, scenes emerged one after another.
At this moment, the audience who saw this couldn't help but get goose bumps.
This taste is so right!.
-------------------------------------
In the picture, the first person to appear is a emperor like figure wearing a crown.
With the emperor's rule, the planet gradually becoming one.
And the weapons being confiscated and the Aurumatons and Ingenia being created on a large scale to maintain law and order.
The music suddenly changed from a peaceful and upright sound to a solemn and tense sound.
Above the sky, a huge number of wingweavers invading from the sky, they then slaughtered and plundered, and conducted "evils uncountable".
The sovereign raised armies to repel the attack.
But the battle situation was different from what the audience imagined.
The sovereign raised armies and annihilated the invaders. They imprisoned numerous "magicians" of the wingweavers and obtained their "miraculous recipes" of immortality.
This is the origin of the Xianzhou fleet of ships 8000 years ago.
Seeing these pictures, the audience was immediately excited.
These scenes of super sci-fi warriors and even battle scenes.
Although it is a bit regrettable that they are presented in the form of paper cutting, it is still very refreshing for the audience to see.
...
Barrages appeared crazily.
: Ancient country? More like a Sci- Fi country.
: How big should the power be to build nine planet sized ships? Unimaginable.
: I thought Mihoyo would do the same old tricks again, but as soon as he came up, he convinced people with reason, full of reason, and it was very refreshing to watch!
...
The story continues.
After learning about the existence of Aeon Yaoshi, then known as Sanctus Medicus from the Wingweavers, the nine huge ships in pursuit of immortality.
"Luofu, Fangu, Xuling, Yaoqing, Yuque, Zhuming, Cangcheng, Daiyu and Yuanqiao"
"Nine immortal boats, carrying the hope of finding immortality, sets sail."
Nine immortal boats in the form of paper cuts, covered with clouds, passed through the screen.
At this moment, the sky was covered with clouds and mist.
When they appeared again.
The nine immortal boats actually appeared in the same picture!
They were departing to space one after the other!
The nine ships made with super special effects rushed forward one after another, and behind them, there was a sea of stars twinkling against the backdrop of a pitch black sky.
Romantic and magnificent!
Such an epic and shocking performance made the audience open their mouths wide.
Their eyes were staring straight.
...
: So shocking!
: Our journey is to the sea of stars!
: I am over 30 years old, but I was still so excited when I saw these for the first time.
...
When the nine ships entered the universe, the history of the Xianzhou Alliance gradually revealed its face.
After just entering the universe, the ships residents, who were still short-lived, took the method of alternating cryo-sleep and waking up in rotation to control the direction and development of the Xianzhou.
During this period of time, the Xianzhou Alliance comes into contact with Void Song Whales and witnesses the almighty barrier separating the world from the endless void: the Echidna Skywall, also known as the Celestial Comet Wall, being built by the Aeon Qlipoth. They also make contact with the IPC around this time.
The magnificence of the universe, the surprises and shocks everywhere, were presented to the audience little by little with the pictures.
It made them seem to follow the Alliance and enter this long journey.
But the good times did not last long.
Around the 1200th year of the star calendar, the ship Daiyu explodes during the campaign against the Viscorpus, a Denizen of Abundance race, crashing into the ocean world of Thalassa.
The Viscorpus were originally a kind of livestock grown and controlled by the Borisin, the most dominant race among the Denizens of Abundance.. After the viscorpi mutated out of control, the borisin did nothing to stop the dangerous creatures from ravaging the planets
From then on, it became a disaster in the universe.
Viscorpus itself is a kind of gelatinous protozoan with the ability to change into different shapes and reproduce.
Although it does not have much intelligence, it still caused a devastating blow to the Xianzhou Alliance that had just entered the universe with its terrifying number.
In the picture, the shocking special effects show this tragic war.
The terrifying swarm, and the planetary-level destruction-class battleships being attacked by the Viscorpus.
Such a doomsday scene is more intuitive and more shuddering than the eternal freeze in Jarilo-VI!
In this battle, the two ships Yuanqiao and Daiyu suffered heavy losses one after another, and the population dropped sharply.
The Daiyu immortal ship even exploded in this war. Of the nine ships, one has fallen so far.
But before the audience could react.
The story moved forward again. The trauma brought to the Xianzhou by this tragic battle seemed to be nothing at all in terms of the time on the scale of the universe.
"After only two hundred years of gradually recovering from the war, the Xianzhou ships were faced with another crisis."
"A computer dumped in a trash pile miraculously became self-aware and then continued to improve its computing power"
"He was even invited by the The Erudition: Nous to join the Genius Club and was given the number 27."
"One day, this computer, in the name of Emperor Rupert, started a war that swept across half of the galaxy.
"Organic life is full of flaws, while mechanical life is precise and perfect"
"The anti-organic equation can help me clean up the universe."
The screen flickered.
On the major immortal ships, the Aurumatons on the ships rebelled under the influence of the Anti-Organic Equation.
Regardless of gender, age or young, wherever they passed, blood flowed like a river.
This was an extinction war between inorganic lifeforms and organic lifeforms.
The ships fought hard for three hundred years and finally won this tragic war.
The voice added at this moment:
"Legend has it ... The Reignbow Arbiter was born during this period."
The continuous impact of information.
Coupled with the full special effects, the audience feels that they are not watching a science fiction film, but a documentary.
Especially in these few minutes.
Various big scenes emerge one after another, and rumors about the Reignbow Arbiter are revealed.
This is also the first time that such in-depth information about any aeon has appeared since the release of Honkai: Star Rail.
All of a sudden, the barrage exploded.
...
: MD, a few minutes of pictures made my head buzz. Is this the strength of MiHoYo? I dare not imagine how exciting these will be made into a movie.
The Aeon of Hunt is actually a person of the Xianzhou? What does the legend mean, are you not sure?
: Whenever I think of the nine ships at the beginning and losing two more, my heart aches to death!
: It's amazing, every time new information appear, I can refresh my cognition!
With the audience's barrage.
The cruel war is still going on.
Only a hundred years later, Xianzhou came into contact with the Heliobi.
This species, which is completely made up of energy bodies, initially harmless and finally resulted in the possession tragedy! Here the Zhuming suffered the most
The Heliobi form a red micro-star in an attempt to capture the Xianzhou fleet.
A suicide squad, said to be led by the Reignbow, disassemble and weaponize the ship's auxiliary engines to fight the Heliobi. The suicide squad sends the weaponized auxiliary engine straight into the red star formed by the Heliobi, causing it to undergo early decay and implode into a black hole
On the screen, it started a war with many Heliobi possessing the Xianzhou civilians.
In this scene, Lan still appeared as a rumored identity.
He led the death squad and sent Yaoqing's weaponized auxiliary engine into the interior of the red-star formed by the Heliobi.
There is no close-up of Lan in the picture.
After all, in the game, Lan's identity is still in doubt.
The only thing that can be confirmed is one thing.
That is, the relationship between Xianzhou and Lan is far beyond the relationship between other aeons and path-striders.
With the Heliobi leader Flint Emperor being sealed in Zhuming.
The long and tragic space voyage finally got a period of respite.
The audience, at this moment, also let out the breath they were holding.
...
: I dare not blink my eyes!
: First, he fought against the Denizens of Abundance, then the Aurumatons rebelled, and then they fought against Heliobi. Xianzhou was really full of wars along the way.
: Seeing these stories of Xianzhou, I feel really awesome, especially the appearance of those nine planet sized ships, I can never get tired of looking at them!
...
After a period of peace,
Xianzhou and the Interstellar Peace Company signed an alliance.
And after years of hard searching, they finally achieved their goal.
"The voyage of Luofu gradually came to a halt, and at the border where reality and illusion were blurred, it encountered The Sanctus Medicus, The Abundance, Aeon Yaoshi."
"The Master of Immortality bestowed a miracle in Luofu. The Ambrosial Arbor, a giant tree took root on the ship, covering the sky and the sun, and enveloping even the planet sized ship."
"In the year 2605 Star Calendar, Luofu declared that all death had been eliminated."
"From 2606 to 2609 Star Calendar, the remaining seven ships also issued their own edicts."
"But the result, the Xianzhou ships were lost in the sea of stars and could never return to their homeland."
...
In the picture.
With the fog special effects, Ambrosial Arbor rises to the sky.
Behind it is the vague outline of the Abundance.
With Their blessing, the immortality within reach makes the atmosphere on the ships seem to be at its peak.
However, the Reignbow was still skeptical about the Ambrosial Arbor.
When they tried to warn the others of this future, they were mocked and labeled as insane. To show their resolve, they shot the Ambrosial Arbor — an act they would be convicted for.
The aristocrats who had eaten the fruit of the Arbor were enraged, but as they still respected the Reignbow's heroic exploits and prestige, could only sentence them to continual hibernation in cryo-sleep pods.
Time passed.
The consequences of longevity gradually became apparent.
The immortal life cannot cure illness.
These immortals will also have the Long-Life Curse, or in other words 'Mara' and attack all life indiscriminately.
And the population explosion has caused the resources of each ship to be in a state of emergency, and there are starving prisoners everywhere.
Repeated rebellions have made the ships exhausted.
In the end, it evolved into one of the Three Sufferings.
"the "Living Catastrophe" of the Three Sufferings, a war of strife"
'The leader of the rebels issued a proclamation to all the ships. A great chaos broke out, and the war lasted for a hundred years!"
As the recitation ended, the background music became desolate and full of vicissitudes.
In the picture, the rebellion, war, and resistance of the eight ships flashed one by one briefly.
Until the immortal boat Yuanqiao lost control and sailed into the red giant star.
""The immortal boat Yuanqiao loses control during the Civil War, plunging into a red giant and disappearing completely. With both sides in bereavement, a ceasefire is reached."
The lines and scenes made the audience who were still playing the memes in the front immersed in it.
The sense of substitution was so strong that it seemed to let them see the magnificent road of the Xianzhou's History.
This Myriad Celestia Trailer is different from the previous ones.
It just developed plainly, like a documentary showing history.
The heavy sense of history came to the face.
Such a heavy feeling was also accurately conveyed to everyone in the screening room.
"With this Myriad Celestia Trailer, the depth and richness of Honkai: Star Rail have reached a new level."
"There is a kind of simple feeling of stepping on the ground.
Himeko exclaimed: "The feeling of being down to earth"
"This is the feeling of history."
Fu Xuan said with a little pride.
"Not bad."
Himeko smiled and agreed.
In the picture ... the battle was suspended because of the sacrifice of Xianzhou Yuanqiao.
But only a few month later, War broke out again.
The remaining aurumatons revolted.
The two armies joined forces and launched an attack on the aurumatons.
This time, the Xianzhou coalition took only four years to wipe out the aurumaton's rebellion, which took three hundred years to suppress last time.
"Taking this opportunity, a peace agreement was signed by both sides and the Xianzhou Alliance was officially established."
"What followed the alliance was the most brutal and desperate war in the history of Xianzhou."
"The "Flaming Catastrophe," one of the Three Sufferings of the Era of Bloodshed"
"The bloody battle of a thousand years begins here."
The background music is so fierce that it is about to overflow the screen.
First, the Zhuming discovered a star whose light could not be observed.
Then it was determined it as a Dyson tree, also the mortal enemy of the Primeval Imperium — Muldrasil, homeland of the Wingweavers, feeding off nearby stars. A war breaks out as a result..
In this section, Xia Wen will also show why the immortal boat is chasing the Denizens of Abundance.
Muldrasil is a living artificial tree-like world with branches that allowed the wingweavers to warp to other worlds and plunder them for resources. It drew energy from the stars, and has been described as a star devouring "Dyson tree."
So the Wing Makers will rob the planets of other civilizations for them to devour.
This is also why it is called the star devouring "Dyson tree.".
At the same time, the blessing of abundance also has some unknown but extremely strong effect on the Denizens of Abundance. Temptation.
Luofu's Ambrosial Arbor is one of them.
There are many civilizations blessed by abundance, but only Borisin people, Wingweavers and other forces eventually turned into disasters.
Except for the Xianzhou itself, other civilizations are not kind-hearted.
Most of them were swallowed up or were in the process of swallowing other races in a mutual scramble.
Such a distorted concept of abundance itself formed an extremely special sense of conflict.
In short, against this background.
The nearly six-hundred years bloody battle of the Xianzhou began.
The Xianzhou, which had already experienced civil strife and the rebellion of the aurumatons, could not resist the attack of the wingweavers at the beginning of the war.
Many ships were successively trapped in the forefront of the war.
The most serious ones, even more than half of them, like the Luofu had fallen under the butcher knife of the Wingweavers.
The tragic war scene made the audience not see any way out for the Xianzhou ships.
...
: Give me a gun! I'm going to support Xianzhou now!
: When one side is in trouble, all sides will support it! I'm so angry! I just can't bear to see this happen!
: Waiting for a comeback...
...
Not only the audience.
Even the beautiful girls in the screening room stopped talking and looked at the screen with great attention.
In such a tragic war, the prisoners who were once forced to sleep were awakened, the Reignbow was among them.
He persuaded Heliobi's leader, the Flint Emperor, to gain power at the cost of being possessed by it.
Such action also attracted more warriors to do the same.
One by one, they followed in his footsteps and signed a possession agreement with other Heliobi.
In exchange for more power, they were fearless and used their lives as bargaining chips in exchange for the future of countless people on the ships.
When these warriors stepped onto the deck and gathered from various ships.
"They vowed to be like clouds blocking the sky, protecting the ships, and never fall to the ground!"
This is the origin of the "Cloud Knights".
This romantic heroism directly filled the blood of all the audience.
This is Honkai: Star Rail.
In despair, never lose hope!
...
: Clouds block the sky! Protect Xianzhou!
: Clouds block the sky! Protect Xianzhou!
: Clouds block the sky! Protect Xianzhou!
...
The same slogan was sent out by countless viewers on the barrage.
This gave Xia Wen a feeling that everyone seemed to be summoning the aeon of hunt together.
The picture at this time was just a huge perspective.
The ships of the Xianzhou entered battle formation in this order, from the nearest to Muldrasil to the furthest: the Yaoqing, the Luofu, the Yuque, the Zhuming, the Fanghu, the Cangcheng, and the Xuling.
The Reignbow Arbiter was at the bow of the Yaoqing ship, and just like before, he pulled the bow to its full strength.
But this time, the arrow tore the space directly!
It penetrated Luofu's Ambrosial Arbor, and cut off the connection between Luofu and Muldrasil, the dyson tree!
The 600 year war ended with an arrow from the Reignbow Arbiter marking his ascension as the Aeon of Hunt.
After the battle, the Reignbow disappeared and the seven ships gathered with a Xuling messenger to authenticate, share content, and review the details.
This declaration is the final product, declaring the official formation of the Xianzhou Alliance.
