I am afraid that the ending of the High-Cloud Quintet will be different from what we think!
...
: I can't do it anymore, come on! Damn it, a decisive battle!
: Five geniuses, can't beat you, an envoy?
: Stack up fifty layers of armor, come on! MiHoYo, let me try your knife to see if it works!
-------------------------
After the crisis of Yuque Xianzhou was resolved, the story of High-Cloud Quintet did not fade away with time.
Instead, they became more and more popular.
A particularly sunny day, in Luofu Xianzhou, in Scalegorge Waterscape, in front of the high elder statue, five people were gathered.
Because of the recent sightings of the Denizens of Abundance near the Luofu, their originally long vacation was interrupted.
Before leaving, the five people decided to come to this high elder statue to take pictures and enjoy the last day of their vacation.
"If it weren't for enemy sightings, we could have had another month of rest."
"The first thing to do next to teach those Denizens of Abundance is to know how to take a vacation and not to disturb us every time!"
"Then come back for a good meal! Hehe!"
Under the stone tablet, the lively and lovely foxian girl Baiheng said with full energy
"Okay, Baiheng, just do whatever you want to do."
"But never forget this is a war."
Jing Yuan also smiled and whispered.
High-Cloud Quintet. It has been decades since they fought side by side.
The short-lived Yingxing is already gray-haired.
The five people stood in front of the camera.
Baiheng posed with a girlish vitality.
Jingliu was on the side, with a relaxed face and a smile on her lips, holding her wine glass.
Jing Yuan did not drink, but just smiled at the camera.
Dan Feng stood behind with his arms folded across his chest, but his face was blocked by Yingxing's arms.
The white-haired Yingxing, holding a wine glass, had a dazed look in his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking.
With a shutter sound. A photo full of warmth and sunshine was displayed on the screen.
It was presented in front of the camera.
The audience who had already followed High-Cloud Quintet and experienced many battles.
Seeing this beautiful picture at this moment.
They couldn't help but be moved.
...
: Jing Yuan and Dan Feng are so handsome, and the two of them standing in the back without drinking are also very cute!
: Jingliu is so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen such a gentle expression, it's really charming!
: Miss Baiheng is so full of energy! She is lively and cute, and she binds everyone together tightly. The High-Cloud Quintet will fall apart without Baiheng.
: Yingxing has grown old… with white hair.
...
Just when the audience was immersed in this warmth.
A flame suddenly ignited the entire photo, startling the audience.
As the flames devoured the photo, in the skies behind the photo, the originally sunny Luofu suddenly turned blood red.
The sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and harsh roars could be heard.
The Xianzhou Luofu has become a cruel hell.
"The Cloud Knights must not retreat! Hold on! Hold your ground!"
The Denizens of Abundance had pre-emptively attacked the Luofu from all directions in huge numbers mainly targeting the Artisanship Commission.
There were only a few thousand Cloud Knight troops guarding this place.
But facing the sea of monsters, the soldiers fought hard and guarded the key roads of Artisanship Commission.
Every step forward of the monsters was accompanied by heavy casualties.
However, the Cloud Knights was even more heroic.
The long bridge from Alchemy Commission to Divination Commission was covered with the corpses of Cloud Knight.
Divination Commission, as the place where the Cloud Knight was equipped, suffered the focus of the evil creatures.
At this moment, it was almost lost.
A part of the Cloud Knights blocked the gate and stopped the monsters with their lives.
The rest of the small group took the craftsmen and retreated to Cloudford and Central Starskiff Haven.
Groups of craftsmen looked at the sky that had been burned red by the flames, and their tears kept flowing.
They were escorted away. "Move! Evacuate quickly We can't hold on any longer!"
A Cloud Knight sergeant said with a choked voice, pulling his companions who kept looking back.
At the end of the sight, the Cloud Knights who were defending the Artisanship Commission Division were ordered to engage the enemy to buy them time had been overwhelmed by the monsters.
Amidst the rush, a violent explosion occurred.
The Artisanship Commission Division was set on fire, and the explosion caused by a large weapon turned thousands of monsters and many of the Cloud Knights into ashes.
This section of the road was also blown off, which could at least buy everyone a few more hours.
The area bordering the Divination Commission and Stargazer Navalia was full of burning houses.
Dozens of Cloud Knights and more than a dozen Vidyadhara guards were desperately facing an enemy that was ten times their number.
Behind them were hundreds of Xianzhou people and Vidyadhara tribesmen who had just been rescued.
But they themselves were no longer able to escape and no one were able to even retreat.
Because around them, there were Xianzhou people whose vitality had been devoured.
It was the doing of the Emanator of Abundance, Shuhu!
The life force absorbed by these evil creatures will eventually return to Shuhu's body.
The Vidyadhara guards fought desperately and burned everything. The Cloud Knights rushed into the ground formation without hesitation.
The camera pulled away.
This small group of warriors was like a spark, being drowned by the vast ocean of their enemies.
But even if they would turn into ashes, they would sweep the ashes into the eyes of their opponents before they died.
These tragic war scenes, through the screen and special effects, made the audience were breathless and suffocated.
...
: No! Where are the five heroes on the cloud? Damn, I really want to cry when I see Cloud Knights cut off their own retreat!
: Damn! MiHoYo! Where is the space comedy you promised! Where is the comedy here?
: Woohoo, it's no good, my 50 layer stacked armor was broken directly without any effect.
: Someone come to save me!
: I'll just join The Hunt! Let me in! I'm going to fight too!
...
The audience's comments were all over the place.
They seemed to experience this cruel war through their perspective.
The scene changed arriving at the main battlefield.
The center of the Ancient Sea Palace Ruins, where the Ambrosial Arbor was suppressed.
The Envoy of the Order of Abundance spread his terrifying branches, absorbing the vitality of the people of the Xianzhou from everywhere.
Thousands of different faces appeared on the tree.
Some were twisted, some were in pain, and some were expressionless.
They watched all this silently.
Just as at this moment, below Him, the Cloud Riders were surrounded by the abundant evil creatures that covered the ground.
In the sky, a large number of shuttles flew through, colliding with the warships of the Wing Makers and self-destructing.
Among the thousands of faces, there was a face that was drinking and closing its eyes.
It was Xueyi.
She could not resist the magnificent existence, but she was also powerless to watch her compatriots die.
At this moment, a colossal, blazing sword plunged down from the heavens, scorching away the sweet yet putrid atmosphere. A towering figure in formidable armor crashed onto the battlefield like a meteor, bellowing at the towering tree. The strange tree blossomed once more like a perennial flower, its golden branches growing ferociously to tightly entangle the enemy.
"Each time you overcome death, I am beyond overjoyed. Like them, your flesh and blood are insignificant, but your pain is something that pleases me."
The branches laughed shrilly, letting each head speak one word on THEIR behalf, stringing together a sentence, "Teng Xiao, what do you plan on using to kill me this time? I'm curious."
"With myself." The man replies calmly. Behind him, the golden illusion plunges the colossal blade straight down into the ground from high up in the sky.
The superb special effects showed the power of the Lightning Lord to the fullest.
...
: Damn! What's going on, could it be the general of the previous generation!
: The general sacrificed himself and let the illusion pierce him and Shuhu together!
: Shuhu must be dead this time!
...
Teng Xiao's sacrifice, the power of the Lightning Lord.
The audience widened their eyes, watching intently, waiting for the dust to settle.
But when the smoke dissipated.
The tree was indeed gone.
On the ground, there were many twisted fragments scattered, and those fragments still retained personal consciousness.
I don't know when the creatures were swallowed by Shuhu.
However. Above the sky.
A even more terrifying tree was reforming in the air.
"I'm sorry, you didn't please me this time."
A chorus of voices laughed evilly.
But just as the words fell, several extremely cold chills came from the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, they cut into Shuhu.
It was Jingliu.
As a support force, the High-Cloud Quintet, according to Teng Xiao's order, in despair, and as the last trump card of the Luofu, they launched a desperate charge against a envoy!
Jing Yuan, Dan Feng, and Blade.
Everyone had a bottomless murderous intent and anger.
However, facing an Emanator, the attacks of the four people could never hurt Shuhu.
In this desperate battle, Dan Feng fell into Dragon's Delirium turning into a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws.
With his breath, claws, and anger, he fought desperately with this tree in the sky.
But this tree was the Emanator of Yaoshi, the Master of Immortality.
Dan Feng not only failed to suppress Shuhu, but his own injuries became more serious, and he was almost dying.
In this dying hallucination, Dan Feng saw a strange picture, and suddenly showed him the future of the universe, the stars sang like red blood cells, and the universe fell into the abyss of desire and immortality.
Dan Feng rejected such a future.
His raised his claws, and attacked again.
However, whether it was him, Jingliu, Jing Yuan and Yingxing.
They could not defeat the emanator who even Teng Xian was unable to take down.
Until, a starskiff sailed out from the explosions and warships in the sky, as if it wanted to stab Shuhu. However, the starskiff, which was already scarred and covered with flames, had exhausted everything to break through the encirclement.
When the starskiff crashed into Shuhu.
A girl jumped out of it and landed on the ruins next to Shuhu admist the thick smoke.
It was Baiheng.
The lively and lovely girl, with her face covered with dust and blood.
She raised the thing tightly in her arms high and a black glow flashed from her hands.
There was no hesitation in Baiheng's eyes.
She just stared at the black sun growing larger each second.
Watching with her, at this moment, were tens of millions of viewers.
And everyone in the screening room.
All the sounds became silent at this moment.
The next second.
The entire screen was left with only white.
In this moment that was as fast as eternity.
Dan Feng, Ying Xing, Jing Liu, Jing Yuan, four pairs of dilated pupils appeared on the screen.
They watched Baiheng's hand disappear, watched her face disappear, watched her disappear completely.
Until the unknown black sun devoured everything around it, including Shuhu's flesh and blood.
Pure whiteness.
It lasted for a full two seconds.
Then it gradually faded away.
The sky that was originally covered with blood color has turned into blue sky.
The bright sunshine, just like when the photo was taken.
Full of hope.
Where Baiheng was originally, only a few tufts of hair and a few drops of blood mixed with soil were left.
The girl who brought them hope, left only these.
Jing Yuan no longer had the wisdom he once had on his face. He leaned on the formation knife inserted into the ground and stared blankly.
Jingliu held the long sword, his eyes were filled with pain and sorrow.
Dan Feng lost his dragon form and collapsed on the ground, but tried his best to look up and look at where Baiheng was.
And Yingxing clenched his fists tightly, stared at the hair floating in the sky with wide eyes, not daring to blink.
He was afraid that if he blinked, the last trace of Baiheng's existence would disappear with the wind.
Died so suddenly and she should be dead completely.
Because except for a few drops of blood, there was no trace.
The shouts and screams brought by the counterattack of the Cloud Knights behind them were getting closer and closer.
None of the four moved...
...
: MiHoYo, you deserve to die! Why the hell did you create Abundance?
: Wuuuuuu, my armor is all over the floor.
: Will you win? How could you win! I lost my Baiheng! Fuck.
: I am really going to cry, seeing the beautiful girl die so miserably, I am so unconvinced! On what basis!
: I declare that MiHoYo and Abundance have committed a capital crime! The crime is to make the beautiful girl die without a complete dialogue!
: Fuck, I won't watch it anymore, this drama is unbearable!
: Ahhhhh! Please, can't it be like a rubbish drama, where Baiheng has to say a few more words before dying!
: I now hope that Honkai: Star Rail can be like Moon Warrior, and let Baiheng die slowly. If she dies all at once, it's really heartless!
: I'm crying like crazy, it's too heavy.
...
The bits and pieces about High-Cloud Quintet and Baiheng's innocence and cuteness made everyone feel as if they saw a March 7th look alike.
But. Everything was wiped out with a few seconds of white screen.
When you see beautiful things disappear. Everyone will feel very uncomfortable.
When you see beautiful people die without a complete corpse. Everyone will dream about it at night, so why not get up and curse MiHoYo and Abundance.
Those audiences who directly clamored for stacking armor and guaranteed wins are now almost trapped as if they have become mara-struck.
In the screening room.
The crying can no longer be held back.
"Woohoo!"
"I won't take pictures anymore, when I think about there being so many knives in the future!" March 7th felt like throwing away her camera but still thinking about the many photos in it just kept it aside.
"I feel so uncomfortable, woooo. I'm the assistant director. After reading the script once, I have to watch the series episode again! I want to go home!" Furina was already crying.
