Just as March was still thinking about why the story of the Cosmic Sword Immortal told by Mr. Xiyan felt strangely familiar, Mr. Xiyan continued, "Although the Cosmic Sword Immortal's name resounds throughout the universe, he still can't avoid certain troubles coming to his door."
"Perhaps it's precisely because of his great fame that he attracts people who want to make a name for themselves by challenging him."
"He often encounters ambushes and sneak attacks, and the most classic one happened during one of his returns home…"
Mr. Xiyan's voice grew softer and softer, while the stirring music grew louder and louder. The PV's scene rapidly pulled back until it arrived in the deep void of space.
Floating there were two warships. A large number of Cloud Knights and some people dressed in suits like bodyguards were fighting monsters. Robin and Tingyun flashed briefly across the screen.
At the very end, the scene came to Nero.
As the view shifted, a massive sword formation covering an entire starfield took shape. Nero stood on Black Cutter, facing the enemy ahead.
At that moment, the entire starry sky seemed to turn into a mirror. It wrapped everything within it, and on the mirrored surface appeared a monster draped in a tattered black robe.
That creature didn't even have a recognizable human form. It looked like a chimera stitched together from countless limbs of different beings. A pair of eyes filled with ferocity stared at Nero with bloodthirsty intent.
At this instant, the PV cut into the animation of Nero unleashing his follow-up move, Heaven's Collapse.
The boy formed a sword seal with his fingers, and the view tilted upward.
The vast expanse of deep space stretched endlessly, and in the far distance, an extremely bright light burst forth, flowed, and rapidly expanded, as if tearing open a terrifyingly huge rift in the universe, carving an irreparable wound into the world.
Within that enormous gap, like a symbol of the world's pain, within that ever-flowing, mysterious and dazzling light, it seemed as if a colossal humanoid silhouette flashed by, peering downward.
In the next moment, a grand, ancient sword that seemed to pierce through time and space descended from beyond the heavens, its momentum vast and unstoppable.
At this moment, the scene rapidly pulled farther back. Even after leaving this starfield, leaving this cluster, leaving this galaxy, and reaching the dark edge where the stars looked like a graceful river of light, one still couldn't see even a corner of the sword's tip.
Yin and yang fell into chaos, the clear and the turbid overturned, heaven and earth reversed, the cosmos turned.
Amid the ultimate explosion and energy shock, a line of light stretched across the view, and the scene froze once again.
This was the animation after the final follow-up of Nero's ultimate.
In the next second, the intense music cut off abruptly and turned into a light, cheerful tune…
At the same time, the scene shifted quickly, and Yanqing's excited voice reached the audience, "General! This is it! One sword opening up the universe, this is exactly the ultimate we sword cultivators pursue!"
This genius young swordsman of the Luofu clearly hadn't realized that, in the final description by Mr. Xiyan of that world-shattering sword, the details bore quite a resemblance to the Heaven's Collapse he had learned from Nero.
Seeing Yanqing so excited, Jing Yuan smiled slightly and said nothing, only turning his head to look to the side.
And the scene moved along with Jing Yuan's gaze.
After Mr. Xiyan finished telling this final story, combined with the Interstellar Peace Broadcast and Jettok's account in the missions, players could already piece together what Nero had encountered and what he had done on his way back to the Xianzhou.
But at this moment, they had no time to think about that. Surely someone would realize it later and make a video about it.
For now, the scene the players could see moved along with Jing Yuan's line of sight, and finally landed on Nero.
The boy had his head lowered, lips pressed together. He sat on the chair, both small hands tightly clenched between his thighs. A flush like burning clouds spread across his fair cheeks.
The light had faded from his gray eyes, and it seemed like tears were welling up. His entire face was filled with embarrassment.
Nero's relatively small body trembled. He kept murmuring under his breath, and even those faint, mosquito-like sounds were shaking, "Th-this is too much… Th-though I agreed to let Mr. Xiyan change the story, th-this is my first time hearing it… I didn't think it would… turn out like this… wuu…"
Looking to the other side, Mr. Xiyan opened his mouth again, as if he was about to continue.
Nero suddenly shot up from his seat, face red, and jumped over in one motion. As he reached out to cover Mr. Xiyan's mouth, he shouted in a fluster, "D-don't say it anymore!"
But because he was too embarrassed to focus properly, he used too much force. The child flew over like a meteor hammer and knocked Mr. Xiyan straight to the ground.
The Evernight Marquis teahouse instantly fell into chaos.
At the end of the PV, the camera didn't focus on the crowd, but instead on a signboard that had fallen to the ground due to the commotion.
This was a standee of Nero, made on Tingyun's suggestion to advertise the Evernight Marquis. On it, Nero was wearing a light-colored ru skirt, looking just like a pretty little girl.
At this point, the PV ended and entered the final logo segment.
As the Honkai: Star Rail logo appeared, a luxurious and gorgeous spaceship flew across the top of the logo.
Then, as the audience expected, Black Cutter came crashing in and split the logo cleanly in half.
"Awooo!!!!"
Just as the viewers were all talking about how cute little Yu looked at the end of the PV, a strange wolf-like howl shattered the harmonious atmosphere in the livestream.
Everyone was startled by the sudden shout and quickly searched for the source. In the end, their gazes all landed on the small camera frame in the bottom-right corner of the stream.
My Pee Is Yellow's face was slightly flushed, his eyes shining brightly, clearly extremely excited.
"That's way too cute! Guys, this PV is amazing. Little Yu's shy look at the end is insanely cute! I'm telling you, if I wasn't streaming right now, I'd be saying something outrageous and doing some handiwork."
[Glue Man: Saying that right now is already pretty outrageous.]
[Siberian Duck Ya: As the saying goes, a leopard can't change its spots. My Pee Is Yellow is still My Pee Is Yellow.]
[Siberian Little Black Duck: Even the steel plate main is here to watch My Pee Is Yellow's show?]
[I Use Pantene: Not only does My Pee Is Yellow say outrageous stuff, he's also great at making weird noises. That scared the hell out of me!]
[What Am I: Seriously, that noise was insane. My roommate asked if there's a new species of wild cat at school, why its mating call sounds so unique…]
