Watching the comments praising her one after another.
Stelle was starting to feel a bit embarrassed!
But,
to be honest,
this character art was really beautifully shot!
The expression was perfect,
forming an aesthetic harmony with the petals scattered on the ground behind her~
If you hadn't said this was the Remembrance Path, I'd almost have thought it was The Beauty Path.
She continued admiring herself.
However.
Soon,
a flicker of doubt flashed in Stelle's eyes.
This character art…
Something seems off!
"Why do you think there's nothing behind the Remembrance Lord?"
A voice came from Dan Heng's phone!
Instantly clearing up the doubts in Stelle's heart.
Right!
This time the artwork is different from before!
Previously, artwork always came after the existing storyline.
Only after completing the corresponding story would we know what the Path was.
But this time,
It was actually released directly before the Amphoreus journey even began!
Could it be that Yu Ling, to prevent leaks from insiders, ended up leaking it himself?
That doesn't make sense, does it?
The key point is!
Artwork usually features characters related to the new region.
But this time?
Not a single one!
"Dan Heng, cast the video you're watching to the screen."
Dan Heng nodded.
The next moment.
All members of the Astral Express Crew turned their attention to this video.
"Behind Destruction is the Astral Express, behind Preservation are the people of Belobog, behind Harmony are portraits of everyone in Penacony..."
"But this time seems somewhat different..."
"We can see that only this creature called Mem remains in the picture."
"Will there be tragedy? Or will it change with experiences?"
The viewer count for this video was also very high!
Comments were blazing!
...
"Definitely tragedy incoming, folks!"
"This smile feels like someone has come to terms with something, and it's the Remembrance Path—we're doomed!"
"The next stop isn't Amphoreus, but a place called Mondstadt, because: Remembrance is Mondstadt's opening line"
"People have turned into petals, they're all on the ground, haven't you noticed?"
"Fun fact: Himeko seems to be getting off to lead the team [smile]"
"Hey, here comes a big one! For every character who dies in the story, add a phantom to the artwork!"
"Bro, have you been playing too much Honkai Impact 3rd?"
"Can you all stop being so pessimistic! Maybe this time it's just a Space Comedy! (I don't even believe it myself)"
...
The more they read the comments, the more anxious they became!
The carriage instantly fell into a heavy atmosphere.
March 7th timidly said, "Um... this is just speculation, right?"
"Besides, no matter what tragedies the future story holds, we can avoid them by previewing the plot in advance."
Himeko nodded. "Little March is right."
"Currently, there are too few clues about Amphoreus, and we don't know why Yu Ling chose to release this artwork at this moment..."
Seeing the atmosphere ease, March 7th couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"Speaking of which... I'm quite interested in this little creature called Mem."
"The description on the artwork..."
"Probably means that after Stelle lands on Amphoreus, she'll adventure with this little creature and experience a moving story..."
As March 7th spoke,
She opened her phone and began searching for information about Mem.
The video's audio played.
"Pink Remembrance ice element, even the pupil color is the same—I get it, this little pet is March 7th transformed!"
The gazes of the Astral Express Crew immediately fell on March 7th.
March 7th showed a helpless expression.
"How could that be?"
"Even though Mem is quite cute, how could I, this young lady, turn into such a creature!"
Stelle nodded. "I think it's more likely you'd turn into a block of ice."
March 7th rolled her eyes.
She continued scrolling through videos.
In the next video,
Two images were displayed side by side, contrasting each other.
They were images of Mem and March 7th herself.
The video creator also made an animation—
"Grabbing March and instantly refining her!"
March 7th couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
But upon closer inspection...
It really did look a bit similar!
A shiver suddenly ran down her spine.
In a daze, she seemed to see her future self.
Shouting "I'm not human anymore!", then transforming from a beautiful girl into a fluffy little creature.
She shook her head.
Quickly tossing out this terrifying thought!
...
Inside the spaceship.
Kafka was lounging with her legs crossed, scrolling through videos.
Although she was the most wanted among the Stellaron Hunters, a notorious dangerous figure across the universe!
In reality,
during her leisure time,
she would, like any ordinary player,
waste time on short videos.
[So the Trailblazer's changes are all in the illustrations—such attention to detail!]
Seeing such a title,
Kafka immediately grew interested.
She opened the video.
Star Rail's illustrations unfolded one by one on the screen.
"From the illustrations, we can see that as the Path changes, the Trailblazer also undergoes transformations."
First, the Path of Destruction.
In the vast, boundless starry river, a train traverses the cosmos, speeding forward.
The protagonist stands atop it, holding a Stellaron.
Expression cold, arrogant, and untamed.
"From the initial solitary pride to possessing the courage to step forward."
The Path of Preservation.
The protagonist wields a flaming spear, poised to attack.
Gaze sharp and resolute!
Positioned at the center of a crowd.
Symbolizing the crucial link connecting the upper and lower layers!
Next,
comes the Path of Harmony.
"At this stage, they can already show a bright and confident smile."
"And now, the Trailblazer smiling gently."
The main Remembrance illustration unfolds.
Kafka smiles faintly.
She really does like the art style of this illustration.
Opening the comments,
her smile grows even brighter.
...
"Stelle is getting cooler, and Caelus is getting cuter."
"Becoming more and more human-like."
"It's settled. The Remembrance Lord is smiling so happily—the story on Amphoreus must be lighthearted, bright, and uplifting, right~"
"Every time the protagonist gets a new form, their facial expressions become richer. Who knows, when Elation is unlocked, won't that smile reach the sky!?"
"This shows our Mama Kafka raised us well, making us more and more sunny and cheerful."
"Thinking back now, when Kafka said we'd encounter many wonderful things, have companions like family, and embark on adventures we couldn't even dream of... almost all of it has come true."
"I'm really afraid that by the end of the journey, Kafka will make us call her 'Mom'..."
...
[You have received a new message from friend Firefly]
Kafka opens the message.
[Firefly: Kafka, have you seen it? They say this journey to Amphoreus has a lot of painful twists...]
[Kafka: Amphoreus—even we Stellaron Hunters have never set foot there]
[Firefly: Now, because of Honkai: Star Rail, Elio's script has become invalid. Do you think something unexpected might happen to them..."]
[Kafka: I can't speak for the others, but I think her fate is quite resilient. She definitely won't fall easily on this journey]
[Firefly: I'm still a bit worried...]
[Firefly: If, I'm just saying if, something really happened to her in Amphoreus, what should we do...]
Kafka stared at Firefly's message for a few seconds in silence.
[Kafka: Then of course...]
[Kafka: Leave no one behind.]
