Chapter 467: Why Does This Honkai: Star Rail Keep Getting More and More Popular?!
…
"And now, I wish to present a gift to his descendants in return."
"Seven hundred years ago, I did not have the chance to help his homeland. Now, it is not too late."
Jing Yuan's voice faded.
Subtitles appeared.
[ A few days later. ]
"Under the witness of the Everwinter Monument, I—Supreme Guardian Bronya Rand—announce that the 'Xianzhou Luofu-Belobog Mutual Trade Agreement' is hereby in effect!"
What entered all the players' eyes was none other than the central plaza of Belobog.
Bronya was as she always was.
Gentle yet elegant.
At this moment, as she announced the agreement taking effect, she exuded even more of a leader's aura.
Of course, this was not the first time many players had seen Bronya in this setting.
At the end of the Belobog storyline, she had delivered a stirring speech right here.
However…
In this scene, besides Bronya, there stood someone next to her whose style completely clashed with Belobog's aesthetic!
—Yukong!
Behind the two, one could also see Luka, Seele, Svarog, Pela, and the others!
…
"Huh?"
"Wait, what?! Who's that next to you, Bronya?"
"Am I seeing things?!"
"My god! Contact has been successfully established!"
"Holy crap, that efficiency! Jing Yuan must have been preparing for this for a long time!"
"Seeing those two standing together feels so surreal!"
"Applause, applause!"
"This time, we can achieve anything!"
"Damn, we're literally watching Belobog get better step by step!"
"As a player who helped in Belobog's revival, seeing this scene is truly moving!"
…
Belobog.
Central Plaza.
Right now, seeing this scene, everyone was stunned!
Immediately after, whether they were locals or outside tourists, everyone burst into a round of cheers!
Many people took off their hats and tossed them into the air!
Even the snowflakes seemed to be cheering along with everything!
The plot playing in front of the Everwinter Monument felt not like a game at all, but reality!
And in fact, it was indeed so!
The entire central plaza of Belobog felt as though it had entered a new era!
After Bronya finished her speech, Yukong spoke up as well: "I have heard the stories of Belobog. The people here held fast to the will of Preservation even in the most desperate moments, unyieldingly defying fate until the dawn arrived."
"Not until I set foot on this heroic land myself and felt the unextinguished ice and snow burning my skin like fire… did I realize how profound this will of Preservation is, and how great the people struggling on this land are."
"From this day forth, the Xianzhou Luofu will fight alongside you until the cold wave turns into spring breezes, and the frozen soil transforms into fertile fields."
[ A period of time later, the Belobog History and Culture Museum… ]
"Old friend, you once said you envied the life of a long-life species. Because we live long enough, we have more time to grow, make up for mistakes, and change the future."
In the scene that followed, Jing Yuan himself had actually come to Belobog!
He had come to the History and Culture Museum!
At this moment, he whispered toward the photo brought back by Luka on the wall: "You were wrong, Igor. For you, What matters will always be the next punch. For our world, what matters will always be the future."
"People are not born into this world out of nowhere; every one of us comes from the world that existed before our birth."
"Humanity is closely intertwined like a giant tree, constantly growing. People shape history, history creates heroes, heroes inspire the future, and the future gives birth to new people."
"Old friend, your call from the past has been answered. Luka is that answer."
"He is not just a child; he is as ancient as your civilization. He is the incarnation of Jarilo-VI."
At this point, Jing Yuan smiled from the heart, filled with both emotion and relief.
"…I should have guessed it long ago. A civilization capable of nurturing someone like you would not be easily destroyed."
…
"AHHHHH!!!"
"I've got goosebumps!"
"Igor is so awesome! Belobog is so awesome!"
"Briefly living out one's life and leaving the fruits behind for future generations to inherit—humanity grows endlessly through this cycle. It's truly magnificent!"
"This tiny snowball has nurtured the most dazzling light in the universe!"
"Traversing seven hundred years of time, I embrace the weak yet stubborn me of the past."
"The seed of hope is finally breaking through the frozen soil of winter!"
"I'm at Belobog's central plaza right now. Man, the atmosphere here is incredible, I'm so hyped!"
"Wait! How did an event storyline manage to give me the feeling of a grand finale?!"
…
In the plaza…
Many people were so emotional that tears welled up in their eyes!
In the crowd, a player pulled out his phone, pointed at the screen, and yelled loudly: "Brothers, look at this!"
He projected his screen into the air so that more people could see.
He had only just started playing the "Wardance" event.
Some people nearby showed confused expressions, not understanding what he was showing off.
The plot livestream is already over, so what's so interesting about you just starting the quest now?
Many held such thoughts.
The young player remained deeply excited, pointing at the screen.
"Look at the quest description!"
This was when Luka was just about to depart from Belobog.
First, he had to compete against Gepard.
After Gepard entrusted him with this heavy responsibility, he still needed to have an audience with the Supreme Guardian.
During this process, the quest description had been overlooked by many people.
Only now was it noticed by everyone!
[ After coming to the Luofu, I always felt like something was weighing on me, making it hard to breathe.
At first, I thought it was just the toll of the matches. Later, I worried it was a struggle to adapt to a foreign sky. Finally, I found the true weight of my burden—
I am the first warrior from Belobog to step into the ring of the heavens since Igor did, centuries ago.
I carry the hopes of an entire frozen world on my back. ]
"Huh?"
"Wait! Did this event quest lay all its cards on the table right from the start?!"
"I see it now… such heavy words!"
"A snow kingdom sways in bitter grief, an iron fist sets off for the Xianzhou. Since ancient times, brave hearts spring from remote lands; this youth stands supreme beneath the heavens."
"Ah! Damn it, you made me cry again!"
"Waaaaah…"
"This is Honkai: Star Rail! It always brings tears to your eyes with these little details."
"I believe this planet will definitely become a better place! Absolutely!"
"The essay topic for Belobog this year is pretty much set in stone…"
"I'm going to write Star Rail's script directly into my essay!"
"May this journey lead us starward!"
