[Honkai: Star Rail] The Trailblazing Log of the Astral Express's Star in Gotham

Advance Reservation: The Nth World of Liyue's Jealousy Jar [Quick Transmigration], blurb below Astral Express Crew POV: Never in her wildest dreams did Stelle imagine that worlds Akivili had never set foot in would start appearing before her in clusters, like a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Not long ago, they had just been through a harrowing adventure in Amphoreus, one that had nearly ended in a permanent goodbye. The very next moment, just after the train set off, a strange sound like shattering glass rang out, and they failed to reach their next destination, the Car-Washing Star. Instead, they found themselves on an unfamiliar blue planet, where the planet's native inhabitants even discovered their presence. But nothing could stump the all-purpose Astral Express Crew. So the headstrong Stelle dragged her good friends Dan Heng, March 7th, and the train's newest youngest member straight into the planet natives' space base to have a friendly chat. Stelle thought confidently: This time, the Nameless would make a spectacular debut on their Trailblazing journey! Justice League POV: Alien visitors are always a headache for the Justice League. After all, aside from a few who really do come in peace, most extraterrestrial visitors have ulterior motives, like Darkseid, Brainiac, and Starro... Roughly eight out of every ten are up to no good. So this time, when they discovered a gigantic train had suddenly appeared outside Earth, the seven highest-ranking superheroes in the Justice League gathered on the Watchtower, on guard as they tried to communicate with it. Soon, they received a response. The extraterrestrial visitors called themselves the Nameless of the Astral Express. They said they meant no harm and had originally been heading to a place called the Car-Washing Star, but somehow ended up here instead. The wary superheroes did not believe they were truly harmless. After all, even the Green Lantern rings had no information about the Astral Express or the Car-Washing Star. That is, until, as a gesture of goodwill, the Astral Express sent six of its members to meet them in person. When asked about their origins and intentions: The little gray-haired one at the front spoke with passionate enthusiasm: "Since you've asked so sincerely!" The steady young man beside them, whose features had a distinctively Eastern look, delivered his line expressionlessly: "We shall magnanimously tell you!" The beautiful girl with unusually colored hair put her hands on her hips, bursting with energy: "To prevent the universe from being destroyed!" The white-haired, blue-eyed young man in blue-and-white armor spoke with fervent passion: "To protect peace throughout the universe!" The little gray-haired one and the beautiful girl said in unison: "To uphold the justice of love and truth!" The steady young man was forced to join the white-haired young man in his enthusiastic delivery: "The cute and charming heroes!" "The Galaxy Bat Hero!" "Stelle, that's cheating! Fine, then I'll do one too! Pink-Haired Fairy!" "Dan... the Cold-Faced Little Azure Dragon." "Then I'll be... the Wretched White Calamity." And the chicken-wing-haired boy, who had been standing off to the side from the start with his feathered ear-wings covering his eyes, spoke up too: "Sunday." Then the little gray-haired one stood at the very front, hands on hips, and announced with great pride: "We are the Nameless of the Astral Express, traveling across the galaxy!" Finally, under the expectant gaze of the little gray-haired one, the feathered ear-wings of the chicken-wing-haired young man named Sunday closed over his eyes. Paired with the halo behind his head, he looked just about ready to ascend to heaven. "Meow~ That's how it is." The brown-haired young man beside them couldn't help but facepalm. The introduction left the superheroes completely flabbergasted, and for some reason, their original wariness had vanished. The superheroes: Damn it! We just can't stay on guard! The Justice League runs into the Astral Express. The Nameless' absurd antics are monstrous, and even their best efforts can't overcome them. Serious (?) blurb: In the past, Earth was invaded by aliens every now and then. But ever since the Nameless aboard the Astral Express connected it to the Star Rail, powerful forces known throughout the universe, including the Interastral Peace Corporation, the Xianzhou Alliance, the Family, the Denizens of Abundance, and the Antimatter Legion, have also begun making contact with Earth. The universe is a stage, so if you're crazy enough, come on in! From then on, Earth enjoyed a miserable life of facing the Antimatter Legion every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the Denizens of Abundance every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and a Swarm Disaster every Sunday. Earth: Oh dear, I think I'm done for. A certain Dark Knight: I won't allow it! (?`~??) This story has no CP, no CP, no CP. That's important, so I'm saying it three times. The Trailblazer in this story is Stelle, so don't get it wrong. This is a Honkai: Star Rail and Justice League crossover. There are a lot of original plot details and settings, so please bear with me. This story centers on the Astral Express Crew, and most of the POVs are on the crew's side, especially Stelle's. I became a fan of Bai'e after version 3.4, and after version 3.5 I became a devoted Bai'e fan. I will definitely show him some favoritism in this story, so please think twice before reading if you don't like that. This should be a goofy, lighthearted story. My last one was too serious, so I'm starting this one to take it easy. Some Justice League characters will become Emanators, so please don't read if that bothers you. Also, I'm a Batman fan, so please try to be nice about Bats in my comments. Otherwise, the author will be very sad. Thank you. After finishing the version 3.4 story, I decided to have Bai'e board the train (Bai'e, Bai'e, we love you!). I'm not sure whether the official writers will let Bai'e board the train, but in this story I'll make it happen. Please don't read if that bothers you. After finishing version 3.7, I was devastated. I've disowned the entire version 3.7 main story. If you like the version 3.7 main story, I suggest you don't read this; you won't like it. Also, this story has an original ending for Amphoreus and a theory involving Delioge (Da Xilian) and Xiao Xilian. If you don't like that, I suggest you leave. Oh, and if you like the screenwriter Shaoji, you should leave too. I hate him now. The story officially begins on September 6, 2025. Please look forward to it. This story will be available to subscribers on September 28, 2025. Three chapters will be released on the day it goes behind the paywall. Please look forward to it. The character cards came from the Bilibili creator Xianzhou Magician. The artist's work is so adorable that I couldn't help asking for permission to use it. (Someone helped me adjust Bai'e's character card.) Advance reservation blurb: Zhongli became bound to a System, one that bugged out from time to time. The good news: The System can reverse death. It can not only bring him back to life, but also resurrect his old friends. In return, he has to help the world's consciousness maintain the integrity of its logical framework and stabilize the world's existence. The not-quite-bad news: The System's abilities are crude, and the organization behind it is even more of a ramshackle operation. It bugs out from time to time and is easy to exploit, much like some of his old friends. Although the System bugs out from time to time, Zhongli doesn't mind that it's unreliable. Zhongli, who convinced the System to livestream a message to Liyue that he was safe the moment they first met: Because the System is really easy to fool ^_^ What's more, perhaps because of a bug, every time Zhongli transmigrates to a new world, a certain dragon follows him there. The dragon has lost his memories, and falls in love with Zhongli at first sight all over again each time. Campus romance world Ruo Tuo: "Have we met before, classmate?" Warring States world Ruo Tuo: "I feel an instant fondness for you, young sir." World of ghosts and spirits Ruo Tuo: "You and I must have been the best of friends when I was alive." In almost every world, Zhongli and Ruo Tuo meet and grow close, joining hands to move forward as if trying to make up for a thousand years apart. A certain golden-haired Traveler who prefers not to give their name said, deeply moved: "This is Liyue's parental romance!" But Liyue doesn't seem happy. The people of Liyue watch their own Lord of Geo establish one new power or nation after another in different worlds, green with envy. The people of Liyue: "Damn it! We were here first. Whether it was being established by the Geo Archon or guided by the Geo Archon, we were always here first... When will the Geo Archon come back and visit us?" The people of Liyue: "Lord Geo Archon, we in Liyue on Teyvat miss you so much (ㄒoㄒ)" The first world: Youthful campus life, The Self-Cultivation of a Perfect Academic Genius. The second world: Rise Amidst Chaos, From County Magistrate to Founding Emperor. The third world: World of ghosts and spirits, The King of Hell, Rex Lapis, Unifies the Spirit Realm. The fourth world: Cultivation with a Love-Brained Protagonist, As Human Emperor, Battle the Immortal and Demon Clans, Establish the Way of Humanity, and Bring Peace to All. The fifth world: Martial arts world, The Story That Must Be Told Between the Martial Arts Alliance Leader and the Imperial Prince. The sixth world: The entertainment industry, An Unknown Nobody's Road to Entrepreneurship. The seventh world: National Destiny battlefield, A Couple Beats Up a Rotten System: Live Coverage. The eighth world: Interstellar ABO, On the Advantages of Bate Over Alpha and Omega. The ninth world: Western fantasy game, A Rundown of the Game's Most Popular Couple NPCs. The tenth world: Vampire world, The Epic Romance Between a Dragon's Descendant and a Mysterious Eastern Exchange Student. This story pairs Ruo Tuo and Zhongli. They won't be split up or reversed, but the Geo Archon will have a tendency to attract a crowd of admirers (at least one nation's people will love him), and there will be extensive descriptions of people shipping Ruo Tuo and Zhongli. Please don't read if that bothers you. Thank you. This Quick Transmigration story will include livestreams and on-screen comments, but only people from Teyvat can watch. In other words, aside from the first two chapters, most Genshin Impact characters other than Zhongli and Ruo Tuo will only appear in the comments. (That is, most of the story will only appear in the comments; only a few will show up in person when the plot requires it. After all, this is a Quick Transmigration story, and the protagonists are the Geo Archon and Ruo Tuo.) Since miHoYo has only revealed the phrase "Rock Lord Heavenly Star" about Zhongli's origins and identity before he became the Geo Archon, in version 5 of the Moon arc, this story's origins and identity for the Geo Archon are entirely original. (We only know those four characters, "Rock Lord Heavenly 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 real ramshackle operation in this story, thoroughly unreliable from top to bottom, from the Supreme God to the System. Please don't read if that bothers you. I'm a devoted Zhongli fan, so I'll definitely favor the Geo Archon in my writing. My writing is also pretty average, so if anyone acts out of character, that's normal. Please don't read if that bothers you. (In other words, the author's loyalties lie with the Geo Archon, not with any other character or person, or even with miHoYo.) I'll center Zhongli as I bring back the old friends he has lost, such as the Five Yakshas, Minghai Qixia Zhenjun, Taodu, and others. Whether other characters who have died will return depends on the situation. Depending on the setting of each world, this story may use either Zhongli or Morax's name. The author is easily hurt. Some of my opinions may differ from readers'. If you find that your opinions differ from mine, I strongly suggest you leave as soon as possible, because I'll weave my own opinions into the plot. If you don't agree with some of my opinions, you definitely won't like some parts of the story ^_^ The story begins on March 14, 2026. Theme: The belief in protecting one's homeland and loved ones can give people boundless strength.
