Star Rail: You're Supposed to Watch the Story, So Why Are You Rewriting the Paths?

A silver-white screen stretching across the starry sea suddenly appeared, projecting future scenes from Honkai: Star Rail to the entire universe. It had only two rules: Pathstriders could speak without restriction, while ordinary people were temporarily barred from commenting. The chat was instantly flooded with Xianzhou generals, Masked Fools, members of the Genius Society, and residents of icebound Belobog.

The footage began at The Reverie in Penacony. Aventurine spread his empty hands in the corridor. Acheron drew her blade and cut down Duke Inferno. Robin's corpse sank to the bottom of a dream pool. The expelled guests asked in horror, “Can you really die in a dream?” The Family scrambled to patch things up, while everyone on the chessboard watched their own fate being revealed in real time.

As Sunday was still trying to calm everyone down, a new argument had already erupted in the chat. After Acheron split Duke Inferno in two on screen, Aventurine told Stelle, “She brings death and finality. She's an Emanator.” The chat immediately erupted with Sparkle's laughter and the sound of Boothill cocking his gun. The viewing countdown at the very top of the screen never stopped ticking: the next storyline was about to load.
