Sunday stood still, feeling a chill run down his spine!
He never expected it!
To utter such "blasphemous" words in the storyline!
Upon reflection.
He was practically the most heretical existence on the Path of Harmony!
Not only did he lack any reverence for the Aeon of Harmony...
He even stole one of Xipe's avatars
—Dominicus, the Choir of Collective Wishes!
He was practically dancing on Xipe's bottom line!
And now!
He was openly badmouthing Xipe!
The fact that Xipe didn't immediately strike him down with divine power made one wonder if Xipe's temper was just too good!
At this moment.
In the storyline.
Yang responded, "Thank you for your honesty. The Astral Express Crew worked hard to bring about this situation, and it was out of the same concern."
"After this battle, the situation on The Planet of Festivities will be balanced by Harmony and Preservation, jointly overseeing it. With the help of Trailblaze, more factions will come here, and Penacony will gradually become a public zone in the galaxy."
"Freedom—this is the only answer the Nameless can give, and I'm glad Penacony is in need of it."
Finally, the topic shifted away from the Aeons.
This made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
These kinds of things...
Should just be discussed privately!
Every time the game's storyline reaches such sensitive points, it always makes the involved parties nervous!
It's all the fault of Star Rail...
Bringing all these subtle exchanges to the forefront!
It's impossible to guard against!
...
"Even if our motivations differ, we are all walking the path of saving and comforting the people, and you have gone further than I."
Sunday sighed,
"If it weren't for the Paths, perhaps you and I wouldn't have ended up opposing each other."
Yang: "Don't belittle yourself. We are not irreconcilable. Otherwise, you wouldn't have spared me in front of the Dreammaster."
"This journey together is my personal way of repaying you, no matter what—"
"You are also one of the targets of my Trailblaze."
...
"Humanist warrior Yang!"
"After watching the storyline, I immediately chose Yang in the 5-star character selection!"
"All the characters in Penacony are searching for their own answers."
"Let me Trailblaze you!"
"With this, the storyline of Penacony is finally coming to a satisfying conclusion~"
"Where will Sunday go next? Will we meet again in the future? You must be happy, Sunday! Wuwu Sunday, take me with you [crying]"
...
Yang's words undoubtedly had a significant impact on Sunday's heart.
His mouth slightly opened.
His eyes filled with disbelief.
But after all, he was Sunday, and he quickly calmed himself down.
With a light smile, he said, "On this point, you have also given me much inspiration. Humans are the measure of all things, and no one is the sole savior."
"Creating a paradise remains my lifelong aspiration, but in the journey ahead, I must build it brick by brick. So, I have a request that's difficult to voice…"
"While I may not possess the will to Trailblaze, nor can I become a true Nameless…"
"I deeply admire your convictions. Perhaps, rather than asceticism, what I need is to seek knowledge."
"So, after leaving Penacony, would you allow me…"
"To board the Astral Express and travel alongside you for a while?"
As these words were spoken.
Even the barrage of comments went silent for several seconds!
There had been speculation before that Sunday might eventually board the train…
But there were so many other theories!
Like Sunday joining the Stellaron Hunters…
Or Sunday joining the Interastral Peace Corporation…
There were even claims that Sunday would become a Masked Fool!
Boarding the train,
Was instead the most beautiful yet unrealistic idea!
After all, Sunday's personality and demeanor were that of a compassionate yet deeply calculating individual.
It was hard to associate him with the cosmic wanderers of the Astral Express.
It was deemed wishful thinking by most players.
However!
At this point in the story.
Sunday actually made this request!
This left many players feeling it was unreal!
...
"Ahhhh, Yang, hurry up and agree to it!"
"Brother Sunday really has a chance to board the train?"
"Let's form a lifelong Astral Express crew, Brother Sunday!"
"If he boards, our Astral Express's strength will skyrocket!"
"I agree!"
"Our crew needs someone as unique as you!"
"Family, I've found a little bird who says he wants to come home with me!"
"The train welcomes everyone!"
...
On the scene.
The gazes of the Astral Express Crew immediately focused on Sunday!
Sunday smiled with relief.
"It seems… the version of me in the story has already made this request."
"So…"
"To be honest, I do have such intentions."
"What are your thoughts?"
His sincere gaze turned to the crew present.
March 7th and Stelle were caught off guard.
They looked at each other.
Soon,
They seemed to reach a mutual agreement!
"I think we should see what the story says…"
"Right, right, if the story version of me agrees, then I'll agree!"
Himeko sighed helplessly: "You two, you're relying more and more on Star Rail for everything now…"
"Originally, your personalities should determine the story's progression, but now it's the story dictating your choices."
March 7th's expression shifted: "I've studied quantum mechanics! Isn't this what they call causality?"
Dan Heng shot March 7th a look: "If you don't understand, don't just spout nonsense."
Yang looked at the screen.
And spoke: "I'm afraid, before we make a choice, the story will move faster."
At that moment.
A line of text appeared on the big screen.
[Some time later…]
The scene shifted.
To the Parlor Car of the Astral Express.
Including Sunday, everyone gathered together.
Clearly, they were discussing the matter.
"It seems Yu Ling doesn't intend to keep us in suspense here, but rather directly reveals the outcome."
Everyone pondered.
In that case.
They really should consider the choices made in the story!
...
"This is the reason he came here."
Yang glanced at Sunday.
He said,
"Mr. Sunday wishes to travel with the train. Clearly, I shouldn't make this decision on my own."
Himeko: "But if you didn't support it, you wouldn't have brought him back."
"Welt, I trust your judgment. As long as someone is willing to journey forward together, the train's doors should be open to them."
"However, this situation is special. Before making a decision, Stelle, I'd like to hear your opinion first."
All eyes,
instantly fell on Stelle.
...
"What's there to say? Of course, we accept!"
"We can have two tables of Celestial Jade now! (excited)"
"There are six people, five of them are Imaginary, Himeko, you're not one of them…"
"Yay, the Astral Express Crew's colors are more balanced now!"
"That's fine too, Robin can video call us if she wants to see her Big Brother."
"More, more, let's not waste all these train carriages~"
"I agree, Acheron, Black Swan, Firefly… they can all come to our train, my bed is big enough, it can definitely fit them all!"
"When will I see all the Stellaron Hunters on the train? That would make my life complete…"
