Honkai: Star Rail: I’ve Been Immortal for Ages, and the Popularity System Just Arrived

(It’s normal for a new book to have few readers and a low rating. It’ll go up later ^0^)

Su Xiao transmigrates into the Star Dome universe and finds himself caught up in the Twilight Wars from the very start. Bearing a dragon’s bloodline and the Dao’s resonance, he catches the gaze of the Aeon of Permanence and becomes an Emanator of Permanence!

Across the vast sea of stars, he travels the length of the Paths: helping Preservation build its walls, wagering with Elation, standing alongside Trailblaze, witnessing Harmony devour Order, claiming a share in the birth of Remembrance, battling the Swarm Disaster, and trading secrets in the Realm of Fathom... He gathers the power of countless Paths within himself, all to break free of the rules and escape the prison of the Paths!

But he fails.

The conflicting powers turn on him, forcing him to restart at regular intervals. With no choice, he takes on a false identity at the Divination Commission on the Xianzhou Luofu, becoming an easygoing doorkeeper. He spends his days slacking off and joking around with Qingque, just trying to stay alive.

Su Xiao: “???” So after all this time being amazing, you’re only showing up now, you lousy System?

From then on, wherever the Astral Express goes, a mysterious figure always seems to appear:

He looks lazy, yet can casually resolve crises involving Emanators. He seems like an ordinary passerby, yet reveals secrets from history erased by annihilation. He can drive off a Lord Ravager with a snap of his fingers, then turn around and slack off with Qingque...

The players go wild: “Who is this ridiculously handsome guy with dragon horns?! A new Emanator? An illegitimate child of Preservation? The incarnation of Elation? Give us a walkthrough! Let us interact with him! I’m pulling for him no matter what!”

Fu Xuan rubs her temples: “Why is Su Xiao always making the cosmic headlines?”

Jing Yuan smiles: “It’s fine. He’s strong. Let him have the spotlight.”

Qingque is bewildered: “Help! You’ve already attained immortality, and you still want to slack off with me?”
