: Damn, doesn't that mean that the simulated universe and those shocking scenes will be seen soon?
: The War of the Aeons, I can't wait!
: A real surprise!
...
The audience reacted immediately.
Including everyone in the screening room, no one expected that the content of the simulated universe would appear here.
They all opened their eyes wide and looked at the screen.
---------------------------
In the Herta space station, Stelle squatted on the ground fighting the after effects of the sudden warp.
After a cry of pain, she looked around.
The familiar express environment has turned into Herta space station, specifically Herta's office.
Herta's puppet nearby, with her arms crossed, was watching Stelle silently.
Herta was not surprised by Stelle's appearance and began speaking directly, "It's good that you are here. Anyway, let me explain to you what the simulated universe is."
"Wait!" Stelle asked subconsciously, "How should I go back?"
"After you finish testing the simulated universe, I can send you back." Herta replied without wasting a second.
"The express left some converted fuel here, barely enough." Herta was very unhappy to be interrupted, but she still patiently explained.
"Uh… okay"
"I still don't quite understand why you invited me." Stelle scratched her head.
"Because you have a Stellaron in your body"
"As a cancer of the universe, it carries some concept of destiny"
"Even though the simulated universe is a joint work of us geniuses"
"But the Stellaron may play a special additional role in it."
Herta explained, and then glared at Stelle fiercely.
Stelle, who was full of doubts, smiled awkwardly and closed her mouth.
"Anyway, the simulated universe that Stephen, Screwllum and I created, through ether data, the secrets of the universe can be simulated to the greatest extent possible."
"Just like a game, a virtual reality game, how about it? You are interested, right?"
Herta said expressionlessly, and then pointed to a mysterious sci-fi device beside her.
There was a device which looked like it should be held above the head, was emitting a faint blue light.
"It looks suspicious." Stelle felt a little guilty.
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."
At the urging of Herta, Stelle stood cautiously under the device.
Before she could react, a flash of light lit up.
The entire big screen went dark, and the light seemed to be traveling with the audience.
When the picture came back, Stelle was already standing in a void of darkness.
There seemed to be the buzzing sound of wings in her ears.
...
: Damn, Herta is too good at playing.
: MiHoYo! I want to play this! Let me play it too!"
: Let me test it, I'm a game master!"
: How can it be so inconvenient to have the VR development in front, and the ether editing in the back, the world of Honkai: Star Rail is too interesting."
...
As Stelle traveled, the concept and visual effects made the audience shine and looking forward to the development of the plot.
In the darkness, the voice of the Herta rang out
"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"
"Next, I will monitor the changes in the simulated universe."
"Hope you have a good time! The nameless guest carrying the Stellaron."
After the words fell, Stelle looked up and saw that the dark sky had brightened.
Various bright colors gradually filled everything around her.
The sound of insects flapping their wings, hissing, and huge sounds like beasts sounded making Stelle hold her baseball tightly in her hand.
Insects! It's insects! Everywhere she looked, there were insects everywhere.
These insects were so dense that they almost occupied the entire screen's field of vision.
Even the audience's screens were crawling with bark beetles.
A beetle was still flapping its wings, almost like it was trying to hit the screen and crawl out.
Then, more beetles came.
They flew in from a distance, imitating the movements of the previous one.
The dense insects hit the screen, giving a feeling of causing the camera to shake.
It seemed that the next moment, these insects would fly out.
Because of the super-real special effects, the audience who saw this scene felt extremely horrified and had goose bumps all over their bodies.
...
: It makes me feel numb.
: Damn, I'm about to vomit, damn, I'm most afraid of bugs.
: Where's the bitter taste? Why is there a lightning strike at the beginning?
: I can't take it anymore, I feel physically uncomfortable.
: This is too scary, where are the breeding star gods? It can't be these bugs.
...
Crazy barrages of comments flashed by. There were so many of them.
The audience seemed to be drowning in the insect swarm in this way.
Fortunately, the next moment, with an inexplicable and completely incomprehensible series of sound waves, all the bugs rushed towards the sky.
Stelle also raised her head and saw a corner of the huge scaly wing.
Then. She was wide awake.
The horrible scene suddenly disappeared and she returned to the initial black surroundings.
The voice of the Herta appeared.
" An Error! Sure enough, letting the Stellaron in was the right choice."
"The simulated universe actually jumped directly to this scene"
"But it shouldn't be like this, let's start over!"
Herta was very excited.
Stelle and even the audience were confused.
But the horrific scene just now made them suddenly realize that since the Aeon of Propagation, the initiator of the terrifying name of the Universal Swarm Disaster, then its story might not be what they thought.
...
In the picture, the confused Stelle suddenly floated in the air.
In her eyes, the entire universe was reflected.
Over a long period of time, she transformed into various tasks and witnessed many different things.
This scene was a bit like the foreground summary before when the game started.
The music also became particularly grand.
Stelle appeared in a familiar express train.
Together with Pompom, she explored the universe.
Finally, before the 999th era of the Amber Age, she completed the exploration of the entire universe.
Those closed worlds were linked together by the express.
Along the way, she met all kinds of people, who eventually called Stelle, the Aeon of Trailblaze: Akivili.
The audience widened their eyes.
After the fear brought by the bugs, the amount of information was so huge right from the start.
...
: Damn, Stelle played the role of the Aeon of Trailblaze in the simulated universe!
: Before the 999th era!? Pompom was already there!?
: Damn, the water in the train looks deeper than I thought.
: I always thought that trailblaze was some kind of universal scrap.
: But the span of this world is too outrageous.
: What does this have to do with propagation?
...
The story of an Aeon is presented.
It makes the audience excited and curious.
The scene changes again.
In the 770th year of the Amber Era, Stelle became a member of the support team to assist The Aeon Qlipoth in building their Celestial Comet Wall.
The other members of the support team thought it was a revelation!
Hence some of its members like Louis Fleming began trading for construction materials by offering other resources, such as fruit, for a certain marked-up price. This allowed the support team to realize that they needed to acquire and supply goods that are desirable to trade partners. And also another member, Dongfang Qixing decided that to be the only trade business in the cosmos, they must set their own rules.
Louis Fleming and Dongfang Qixing announced the reformation of the support team and started the Interastral Peace Corporation or in short the IPC. At the same moment, the IPC introduced the universal galactic currency: credits. They assigned a price tag to the specialties of every planet, which locals now purchased directly from the IPC using its credits.
In this way they gradually became a huge financial behemoth which controls the entire financial scene of the whole universe.
But the company's top management still say that all this was for the great cause of the Amber King.
Stelle stood among the densely packed employees, witnessing the vague person on the stage, speaking passionately.
...
: Something is wrong, very wrong.
: Qlipoth, preservation and company? Damn, why do I feel that the pit here is too deep.
: Isn't this capitalism?
: Capital is a kind of current protection?
: I feel like this is stealing the concept. I wonder what the current Interstellar Peace Company is like.
: My scalp is tingling. The secrets of the Honkai: Star Rail Universe are revealed one by one. This feeling is like watching a mythological epic.
...
The audience watched these stories that had only appeared in their own imaginations. After being completely presented in front of them, it felt like peeling off the seductive and mysterious veil of the Honkai: Star Rail Universe bit by bit.
It made them very excited.
At the same time, deeper doubts came to their minds.
If the core of the story of this simulated universe is the swarm disaster, then why should tell the origin of the universe and the development of major forces at the beginning?
With such doubts, everyone continued to watch on.
Stelle once again became a member of The Genius Society.
The IPC was troubled by the cumbersome and inconvenient communication across the universe.
So they hoped that the Genius Society could solve this problem.
But no matter how the members studied, they could not think of a solution.
Until one day, they saw Elias Salas's genius invention. Synesthesia beacon, and ultra-long-distance remote sensing.
One can directly read thought waves and directly pass through the language translation module and can communicate across space without regards to distance.
The Genius Society learned to try this technology and adapted it.
Here, the Herta's voice interrupted Stelle and the audience once more "The surprises of simulated universe calculations are far beyond our imagination"
"Elias Salas's incident not only solved the problem of cosmic communication, but more importantly…"
"He overturned the theory of Zandar One Kuwabara, the rumored creator of Nous, the Aeon of Erudition."
"Zandar believes that the universe is an imaginary tree, and each universe is a leaf."
"But Salas's technology is based on quantum technology"
Stelle was at a loss, and interrupted Herta who was speaking, "Herta, this opening is too long, I just want to fight happily, okay."
Herta said disdainfully, "The simulated universe is like this, you don't know what will be simulated."
"We cannot, and do not want to, control the simulated universe."
"This technology is the result of simulated universe's self-deduction after we input various data."
"If the simulated universe shows these images, it means that the simulated universe believes that these images and developments are closely related to the Swarm Disaster."
After saying that, she disappeared.
Only Stelle continued to be confused. She had no place to put down the bat in her hand.
...
: These guys in the genius club are really scary. The simulated universe they created is so capable?
: Damn, my brain is starting to burn.
: These things are related to the Swarm Disaster. How is the connection?
: It feels like it will involve very complex philosophical concepts again.
: The depth of Honkai: Star Rail is getting more and more awesome.
: Call Ratio for support!
: Don't call, Ratio went to MiHoYo to apply for a job and has been admitted to there...
: Ah?
...
The audience no matter how they think about it, can't understand it yet.
But in the screening room, some smart people have frowned and started to think some ideas.
Just then the last scene appears.
This is an extremely abstract picture.
Many planets are connected together.
One after another, magnificent sounds are emitted from these planets.
Finally, they merge into one.
It becomes an epic, magnificent and beautiful scene.
These planets pass by one by one.
Countless silk threads are intertwined and interconnected them.
In the end, all of this is summarized and collected in a sphere, depicting planets inside it.
On this immeasurable cosmic scale, an Aeon wearing a white robe and its whole body composed of gold and white is spreading its hands and seemingly embracing this universe.
Silk threads are derived from its joints and escape into the void outside the screen.
Ena: The Aeon of Order.
They listens to the hymn.
They who appeared from nothingness are staring closely at this orderly universe, with a huge eye shown behind them.
Until the originally grand and beautiful hymn suddenly changed its tune for a moment.
The sudden change in tone made the original hymn seem to become a mournful song for the end of the world.
Although it was just two rhythms, Ena leaned in Their ear.
It was as if it was talking to a non-existent being.
This was the first time that everyone saw an Aeon under real special effects.
The many planets bound in the sphere and this magnificent and sacred body were beyond the limits of human experience.
This composition was so sacred that it made the audience a little creepy.
The countless planets were like puppets in Ena's hands.
The audience couldn't help but diverge their thoughts and put themselves into it, into these planets.
As residents of these worlds, how could they get a glimpse of Ena's full picture?
Or would they occasionally catch a glimpse while praising the hymns, seeing those threads, or eyes looking at the entire universe?
But if they really saw such a picture beyond cognition, would they feel happy or terrified?
Is this an Aeon?
This incomparable shock made the comments on the screen much less.
In the shock, the opening finally ended.
Stelle shook her head.
Just now in the simulated universe, when Ena appeared, she felt very uncomfortable.
But now it's okay.
She picked up her bat and swung it twice.
"I don't know who I am."
"I don't know where I should go."
"I only know that I have to keep moving forward making new memories."
Stelle said to herself.
The scene disappeared.
The simulated universe continued to move forward.
For this universe, the previous outline can be combined with the next story.
From this, the truth of the Swarm Disaster and the war of the aeons can be inferred.
It's just a development and process.
Neither Stelle nor Herta know at this moment.
...
Just when Stelle was about to start fighting, the special features of the simulated universe made her immediately understand who she should play next.
"I? Act as pioneering Akivili?"
"Well..."
Stelle scratched her head.
She didn't understand how to play this role.
At this moment, the surrounding environment changed.
From the vast space just now, it turned into the bridge of a spaceship.
The huge space spectrum appeared in front of her.
The surroundings were filled with soldiers coming and going.
"You are very good. Come with me to this great and beautiful adventure and witness my quest for knowledge of destiny."
A Captain with bright eyes and red hair is inviting Stelle.
"Uh, OK, OK." Stelle thought about her role and agreed.
The captain was very happy.
He told Stelle a story.
He had a strange disease and his memory was only three days.
"I want you to help me remember one thing."
"A reminder about a planet called Lepismat, every three days, repeat it to me again and again."
"You will be my left arm, my other brain!"
The leader laughed, his smile was full of hope and obsession with the future.
As he spoke, his voice became more complacent.
"I have solved the reverse riddle."
"I will launch conquests, build civilizations, and finally, find my lost self!"
Stelle nodded blankly and wrote down the words.
As she continued to talk with the leader, his weirdness was revealed more and more.
As the leader of an army known as the Elydichan army, he conquered one planet after another and built civilizations.
He always had good luck, but no matter what happened, the joy and happiness he got could only last for three days.
A weird feeling gradually filled the entire screen.
The memory and happiness of only three days, and the obsession made the audience frown deeply, and they actually felt a curiosity inducing suspenseful atmosphere.
