"These people are so fickle!"

Beside Sunday, a member of the Oak Family showed a look of indignation.

His fists clenched.

If it weren't for the crowd, he would have rushed down to argue with these capricious guests!

"Just now, they were saying they would support the family head's great cause no matter what..."

"To create a glorious era of Seven Sundays together!"

"Some even said they would support you as the Aeon of Order!"

"But how long has it been?"

"Just because of this plot twist, they've instantly turned their backs!"

Sunday glanced at the agitated family member.

He said calmly, "It's fine."

"The plan of Ena's Dream has gained the approval of most people because of the game's plot."

"We don't need to interfere in any way."

"Everything is for fairness."

...

The plot continued.

The Watchmaker spoke slowly to the Astral Express Crew, "You already know the current state of Penacony. Of course, I hope someone will help this world return to the right path. But this decision should be made by you, because the path of Trailblazing is never paved by others."

"So, I leave you with a story and two gifts—"

"I want to give you this: my pocket watch. It has accompanied me on a long journey, guiding that clueless fool forward, and I've been fortunate to walk alongside so many great people to this day."

"And my hat. The person who guided me placed it on my head, planting an unrealistic thought: the journey of Trailblazing will never end."

"Now, it's your turn to make a choice. If you've made up your mind, push open that door and step into an old man's long dream."

"I'll be waiting for you at the end of this corridor of time."

After speaking, the Watchmaker walked toward the glowing door at the back of the room.

Clockie also disappeared at the end.

...

"Mikhail's pocket watch and hat? These are one-of-a-kind treasures in the entire universe!"

"Who said there's no legacy? This is the best legacy!"

"Wow! The Watchmaker's relics? They're worth a fortune!"

"Can you guys stop being so vulgar? Isn't the most important thing here the inheritance of the Trailblazing spirit?"

"The Trailblazing spirit is indeed precious. But these two items are also really valuable [drooling]..."

"Stelle: This Trailblazing journey is worth it!"

"Brothers, have you recalled the meaning of Trailblazing?"

"Salute to the legendary unknown Mikhail!"

...

In a corner of The Reverie Hotel.

After watching this part of the plot, Misha's face gradually showed a look of relief.

Looking ahead.

It seemed he had already prepared himself mentally.

Clockie asked, "Misha, where... where are you planning to go?"

"Since the me in the game plot has already regained my memories and understood my mission."

"Then the me outside the game must also complete this process."

"After all..."

"I am not just Misha, but also the [legacy] left by that legendary Nameless."

A determined glint flashed in Misha's eyes.

It seemed he already knew what his fate would be after fulfilling his mission.

Just as Misha was about to set off.

The door connecting to the corridor ahead was suddenly flung open by someone!

A man leaned against the wall with one hand while adjusting his tie with the other.

"Phew..."

"Good, I made it in time..."

Under the corridor's light, Misha could clearly see the person who had appeared before him.

"Mr. Gallagher?"

Gallagher grinned and smiled.

"Kid, are you planning to follow the game's storyline and take on your role as a guide?"

Misha nodded.

"Don't be foolish. The situation now is completely different from before."

"Our original purpose for existing was to fulfill Mikhail's last wish."

"To achieve that, even sacrificing our short lives was acceptable."

"But now."

"Look at the current state of the universe—"

"After the baptism of Honkai: Star Rail, all players in the universe can also be considered another form of [Trailblazers]."

"There's no longer a need for us to achieve this purpose by sacrificing our lives."

"Thank the developer, Yu Ling."

"Now, both you and I can live on as ourselves."

"To live out our own lives."

Gallagher's words left Misha utterly stunned.

What had happened today was undoubtedly the most emotionally turbulent day he had experienced since he could remember!

First, he had transformed from an innocent child into a guide with heavy responsibilities.

Then, from a guide, he became Mikhail.

Just as Misha had mentally prepared himself to fulfill his duty.

Gallagher came running to tell him.

That now he could have his own life!

Even Misha.

Felt completely at a loss for a moment!

Clockie, standing nearby, even froze up completely.

His eyes spinning like mosquito coils.

"Mr. Gallagher..."

"I... I'm a bit overwhelmed..."

"I think... I might need some time to calm down."

Gallagher simply sat down on the floor.

Sitting right beside Misha.

"It's alright, I understand you."

"Haven't you always wanted to start your own journey?"

"I remember your text signature was—'Keep it up! Soon, we'll reach the new world!' right?"

Misha nodded, somewhat embarrassed.

Eagerly, he asked, "Then... Mr. Gallagher, what do you plan to do?"

"After all... I'm just a dreamer no different from a Memory Zone Meme."

"I might never escape the Dreamscape of Penacony..."

Gallagher reached out.

And ruffled Misha's hair playfully.

"Don't forget my identity."

"History Fictionologist—Gallagher."

"Yu Ling gave me a reward before, allowing me to survive."

"And now, I can use mysterious powers to fabricate a physical body for you in reality."

"Then you can start your new journey in the universe."

Misha's eyes widened.

He looked up in disbelief.

But here in the corridor of The Reverie Hotel, all he could see was the ceiling.

But Misha's gaze seemed to pierce through these obstacles, looking toward the distant sea of stars.

"Can I... really embark on this journey too...?"

"Of course, you can."

"As long as your fiction remains undiscovered, the Trailblaze journey will never end."

Gallagher smiled.

He lit a cigarette.

After taking a deep drag, he slowly exhaled a ring of smoke.

A look of contentment spread across his face.

"The feeling of being alive is truly wonderful."

"After all, we always carry hope with us."

"Look—"

Gallagher pointed to the television in front of them.

"Now we can witness the journey of the Astral Express Crew together."

"After watching this part of the story, I plan to create my own account and play this 'Honkai: Star Rail'!"

"Let me tell you, I heard there's a storyline about Xianzhou and a battle with the Lord Ravager, as well as a fight against the voice of the Stellaron on Jarilo-VI... Tsk."
