Upcoming: 【Quick Transmigration/Star Rail】Sign a Contract with 496 to Become the Dawn of Salvation, blurb below
Zhongli was bound to a System, one that encountered bugs every now and then.
The good news: The System’s abilities could reverse life and death. It could not only resurrect him, but also bring back his departed friends. In exchange, he had to help the world’s consciousness keep its logical storyline intact and stabilize the world’s existence.
The not-so-bad news: The System’s abilities were crude, and the organization behind it was even more of a shoestring operation. It ran into bugs all the time, and loopholes were easy to exploit. It rather reminded him of an old friend.
Although the System glitched now and then, Zhongli didn’t mind that it was unreliable.
Zhongli, who had coaxed the System into livestreaming a message to Liyue that he was safe the very first time they met: Because the System was so easy to fool ^_^
And perhaps because of a bug, whenever Zhongli transmigrated to a new world, a certain dragon came along too. He’d always lost his memories, and fell in love with Zhongli at first sight all over again.
School romance world
Ruotuo: Have we met before, classmate?
Warring States world
Ruotuo: I felt fond of you the moment I saw you, young sir.
Spirit world
Ruotuo: We must have been the best of friends in a past life.
…
In almost every world, Zhongli and Ruotuo would meet and come to understand each other, joining hands to move forward together, as if they were trying to make up for all the years they’d lost.
A certain blond Traveler who preferred not to give their name was moved to say: This is Liyue’s parental love!
But Liyue didn’t seem happy. The people of Liyue watched their own Lord establish one new faction or nation after another in different worlds, and grew so jealous their faces twisted.
The people of Liyue: Damn it! We were here first. Whether the Geo Archon established us or guided us, we were here first… When will the Lord come back to visit us?
The people of Liyue: Lord, Liyue in Teyvat misses you so much (ㄒoㄒ)
First world: School days, The Self-Cultivation of a Perfect Academic Prodigy.
Second world: Warring States, From County Magistrate to Founding Emperor.
Third world: Spirit world, The Underworld Lord Rex Lapis Unifies the Spirit Realm.
Fourth world: Love-struck Cultivation, As Human Sovereign, Battle the Immortals and Demons, Establish the Way of Humanity, and Bring Peace to the World.
Fifth world: Martial arts, The Story No One Tells About the Alliance Leader and the Prince of the Imperial Family.
Sixth world: Entertainment industry, An Entrepreneurial Journey for an Unknown C-list Celebrity.
Seventh world: National destiny battlefield, A Real-Time Account of a Couple Beating Up a Rotten System.
Eighth world: Interstellar, The Alliance’s Guardian Deity, Feared by Alien Races.
Ninth world: Western fantasy game, A Rundown of the Game’s Most Popular NPC Couples.
Tenth world: Otome game, The Epic Romance Between a Descendant of the Dragon Clan and a Mysterious International Student from the East.
This story pairs Zhongli and Ruotuo. They won’t be separated or have their roles reversed, but the Lord will be something of a heartthrob, with at least one nation’s worth of people falling for him. There will also be extensive descriptions of people shipping Ruotuo and Zhongli. Please don’t read if that bothers you, thanks.
This quick transmigration story will include livestreams and comments, but only people from Teyvat can watch. Aside from the first two chapters, most Genshin Impact characters other than Zhongli and Ruotuo will only appear in the comments. In other words, most of their appearances will be in the comments, with only a few showing up when the plot calls for it. After all, this is a quick transmigration story, and the protagonists are the Lord and Ruotuo.
Since miHoYo has only revealed “Rock Lord Star” as Zhongli’s origins and identity before he became the Geo Archon, in Version 5 of Moon, the Lord’s origins and identity in this story will be entirely original. We only know those four words about the Rock Lord Star; miHoYo hasn’t revealed anything else. There will also be an original old friend, the Supreme God behind the System. Please don’t read if that bothers you.
The System and the organization behind it are a genuine shoestring operation in this story. They’re all extremely unreliable, from the top (the Supreme God) to the bottom (the System). Please don’t read if that bothers you.
I’m a Zhongli-only fan, so I’ll naturally favor the Lord in my writing. My writing isn’t the best, so some out-of-character moments are to be expected. Please don’t read if that bothers you. (In other words, the author’s loyalties lie with the Lord, not with any other character, person, or even miHoYo.)
I’ll focus on Zhongli and bring back the friends he lost in the past, such as the Five Yakshas, Minghai Qixia Adeptus, Taodu, and others. Whether I bring back the rest will depend on the circumstances.
Depending on the setting of each world, this story will use either the name Zhongli or Morax.
The author is sensitive, and some opinions may differ from readers’. If you find that some of your views differ from mine, I strongly recommend that you leave as soon as possible, because I’ll incorporate my own opinions into the plot. If you disagree with some of my views, you definitely won’t like some of the storylines ^_^
Starting October 18, 2026.
Officially entering the paid-content phase on April 20, 2026, with three chapters released that day.
Upcoming novel blurb:
【Quick Transmigration/Star Rail】Sign a Contract with 496 to Become the Dawn of Salvation
This is a world that began as an “if” scenario
The Astral Express never chose the “Land of Eternity,” Amphoreus, but instead traveled to the ocean planet “Lusaka.” Amphoreus never welcomed the “Dawn,” and the one bearing the world’s burden still journeys alone through a harsh ordeal.
Much later, a member of the Genius Society will fall into this world, becoming the final ashen dawn foretold by Amphoreus, and the universe’s gray end.
“Fate will make her fall. In the name of ‘Emperor III,’ bearing the flesh and bones of Amphoreus’s people, she will launch a blood-soaked campaign across the cosmos.”
A strange creature calling itself “System No. 496” found the “Prisoner of Negative Fire,” Khaosla, in the core of the Scepter, and revealed his cruel future to him.
“But if you sign a contract with me and become my Host
you can turn everything around.”
The people will no longer weep. Their flesh and bones need not be parted. The stars need not fade…
Billions upon billions of hearts will not simply stop beating.
For his homeland, Amphoreus; for Black Tower, who fell while trying to save it; and for the cosmos beyond the stars that he had yet to see, Khaosla seized this chance at survival.
From then on, he once again set out on a journey, crossing time and writing his transformation from prisoner to legend in vastly different worlds
First world: Western fantasy hero, From the start, I’m a drop of blood?
Second world: Zombie apocalypse, The Sun Rising Brightly in the Gloom
Third world: Infinite-flow game, This Neutral NPC Is Clearly Powerful, Yet So Unpredictable
Fourth world: Manga world, Bai’e Battles the Forces of Black Evil
Fifth world: Cultivation, Follow Your Heart and Stand Together with All Living Beings
Sixth world: Entertainment industry, The Brightest Star in Film and Television
Seventh world: Writing world, The Great Novelist Bai’e Makes His Grand Entrance!
Eighth world: Spirit world, Help Me, Lord Rex Lapis!
Ninth world: Beastfolk interstellar, The Federation’s God of War Is Actually a Samoyed?
Tenth world: Superpowered school, The “Demon” Teacher of the Geniuses
Eleventh world: Melodramatic world, From Beginner to Buried: Escaping a Gathering Place for Lunatics
Twelfth world: Game world, The Legend of Yun Ya’s Strongest Dark Swordsman
【Please Read Before Starting】
1. Bai’e (Khaosla) is a heartthrob, and multiple male and female characters will have unrequited feelings for him. But he will always walk alone. There is no CP. Please don’t read if that bothers you;
2. Aside from the beginning, which explains what Bai’e did and Amphoreus’s final fate before the quick transmigration starts, there will be no livestreams or comments, and no other Star Rail characters will appear.
3. This story is based on the Black Tomb “if” timeline (where Black Tower becomes the head of the Iron Tomb). Amphoreus has nothing to do with the Trailblaze, so Demiurge has been removed from the story. The only Demiurge featured is the demigod of time, Little Xilian. (I believe De and Xi are two separate people. Please don’t read if you disagree.) After the System intervenes, Black Tower will not fall, and Amphoreus will ascend in a “furry form” (animal ears and tails, plus an animal form);
4. This story is part of the same series and shares a universe with 【Quick Transmigration/Genshin Impact】Liyue’s Nth World of Pickled-in-Vinegar Jars. Some worlds will continue in later installments. After Zhongli’s efforts, the System organization is no longer a shoestring operation. In this series, Zhongli will become Bai’e’s teacher, making Little Bai the beloved junior brother of Liyue’s Adepti. Please don’t read if that bothers you;
5. I’m a Zhongli and Bai’e-only fan, so I’ll naturally favor the Lord and Bai’e in my writing. My writing ability is average, and some out-of-character moments are to be expected. Please don’t read if that bothers you;
6. I especially dislike Star Rail 3.7 and the “roast chicken” character. If you’re especially pleased with and fond of those two, this story won’t be to your taste. The author is also sensitive, and some opinions may differ from readers’. If you find that some of your views differ from mine, I strongly recommend that you leave as soon as possible, because I’ll incorporate my own opinions into the plot. If you disagree with some of my views, you definitely won’t like some of the storylines ^_^
7. Bai’e will offer his heart to every world in need of help, and those worlds will return his love. From then on, the only place he can look back on won’t be his homeland, but countless worlds like sparks. So this story won’t have Bai’e return to the Star Rail world later on; instead, he will ascend directly into a higher-dimensional being. Please don’t read if that bothers you.
8. This story contains extensive original worldbuilding. Please don’t mistake it for official canon.
Starting October 18, 2026.
Theme: Set the world right and seek peace for all.
Hahaha Ruotuo kicked Ossel out of the live broadcast room.
I think Zhongli can also endorse his own games.
The auspicious cloud tail of Xianzu Fashe is really cute
Hahaha, the emperor's cube hobby is so cute here.
Zibai: Hello. Is the Dragon King doing this setting to avenge his personal vengeance?
Hutao: Undead? Ah, as expected, the world still needs the Hall of Rebirth.
Immortal: Sea Clan? Is this another time to pull Osel out and whip his corpse?
Liyue: Wuwuwu, I am my father's eldest son, Wuwuwu.
Ah, this... The word "saving money" has never anything to do with our Mr. Zhongli.
⊹꙳ ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ ⊹꙳
Will every player experience this plot in the same way? If only one player could see such an important "cutscene", then the game would be a bit substandard. But if every player requires an NPC to perform once, it would be unfriendly to this new small world.
Is Jiang Huai an NPC in the game? Or is it original here?
There are officially certified children here! What to do with those jealous people in Liyue?
However, the resonance in the game has not been strengthened after so many years [cheek support]
