Chapter 393: Plan

Heimu paced back and forth in the elegantly decorated Xianzhou guestroom, her steps lacking their former composure.

Outside, Luofu's nightscape remained bustling, lights bright, Star Chariot shuttling, but her thoughts had already flown to that other world caught in a wave of Destruction.

"Trouble... big trouble..."

She murmured to herself, worry intertwining in her violet‑black eyes.

Nanuq—the Destruction Star God—has already cast his gaze there; it has almost become a settled fact.

A world marked by a Star God‑level existence, its fate is easy to imagine.

She originally came only to find the missing Huo Huo; how did it turn into the absurd situation of dragging a Destruction faction into an entirely new world?

Although the "relief" may simply be that Destruction discovered it first, rather than Joy, Memory, Intellect and a host of other forces flooding in simultaneously—otherwise the Xingyue World would instantly become a divine‑fight bazaar—but the current situation already makes one's scalp tingle.

System: Received an emergency distress signal from Chang Ye Yue.

Message level: Highest.

Summary: The battle is extremely unfavorable, Antimatter Legion is invading, possibly provoking higher‑dimensional observation, requesting instructions or support.

Heimu stared at the glowing text before her, not replying immediately.

Instructions? Support?

Facing a legion invasion guided by Star God's gaze, what can she do with her current meager power?

She couldn't help rubbing the bridge of her brow.

In the end, she forced entry into the Xingyue World, and now having stuck such a huge hole, she can hardly shirk responsibility.

Let it be?

Not to mention a guilty conscience, just imagining Destruction forces rooting fully in the Type Moon and then using it as a springboard for more uncontrollable chain reactions makes the outlook bleak.

System: Ding. Detected new intel.

The Xianzhou Alliance outpost and patrol fleet detected anomalous spatial fluctuations, traced the source, and found multiple high‑intensity "Destruction" destiny reactions leaping or projecting at super‑luminal speed toward an unknown direction.

Xianzhou senior officials are alert; Tai Bu Si is investigating the specific information and potential threats of that unknown direction.

"That fast?!"

Heimu's mouth twitched.

The Xianzhou response speed exceeds imagination, and indeed, mobilizing an Extinction Great Lord‑level being generates universe‑scale energy ripples hard to fully conceal.

Can't wait any longer!

If we keep waiting, Luofu Xianzhou's investigation fleet, even Yaoqing and other Xianzhou, as well as the Interstellar Peace Company, the Knowledge Society, the Flowing Light Memory Court, the Masked Fool…

Once these forces confirm the discovery of a brand‑new, rule‑different, unknown‑potential "world", what crazy covetousness and actions will ensue?

The Xingyue World's tangled parallel worldlines, Source Vortex, and myriad mysterious systems are an irresistible lure for these universe‑scale forces!

By then, it won't be just Destruction's affair; the entire Honkai Star Rail abbreviation Universe's "Exploration" desire, "Quest for Knowledge" desire, "Collecting" desire, and "Seeking Fun" desire will all be ignited!

The Xingyue World might be torn apart by various deities or become a new battlefield!

"System, analyze the current proposals: how to sever or interfere with the connection between the two worlds? Or at least stop the Antimatter Legion's continual influx?"

Heimu asked quickly.

System: Analyzing proposals...

System: Proposal 1: Forcefully destroy the spatial anchor point. Requires breaching its conceptual defense; difficulty extremely high. Proposal 2: Overlay the "Key" conceptual effect. Requires higher‑rank "Lock" intervention. Proposal 3: Seal the passage from the Honkai Star Rail abbreviation Universe side. Requires obtaining the universe's relevant permissions or sufficient mass‑scale power to enact spatial shielding.

System: Warning: All proposals require at least Ling Shi-level Power, and may trigger unpredictable temporal‑spatial backlash or further attract Star God attention.

Ling Shi-level Power...

Heimu's own core is damaged, she has only three chances, one already used.

Two left, enough?

Moreover, rashly using full power, could it draw more unnecessary attention?

Just as she weighed pros and cons—

Ding dong~?

Here it comes again.

Heimu, mentally exhausted, waved a hand: "Any more bad news, say it together."

However, what sounded was not the system's calm, unruffled electronic tone.

Bang! Clap! Whoosh—!

Virtual fireworks exploded, and a trumpet of celebration rang in the room without warning!

Immediately after, rows of multicolored text with various animated emojis, like a mischievous child's doodles, forcibly overlaid the system interface, confronting Heimu:

【 (≧? ≦)ゞ Oh dear~! Look who stuck a universe‑scale big hole! ~ 】

【 (laughing hysterically. jpg) Oops~ Too careful~! How could that perpetually stern guy discover it first~! 】

【 (shaking head. gif) Fun minus one, fun minus one! Bad review! 】

Heimu: "…"

She looked at this flood of "joyful" style, a vein pulsing at her temple, and suppressed anger flared in her violet‑black eyes.

If that guy hadn't inexplicably tossed Huo Huo into the Xingyue World, if he hadn't been pulling strings behind the scenes causing all these "accidents", how could things have progressed to this point?!

Now he even comes to mock?!

Seemingly sensing Heimu's near‑bursting emotion, the text changed:

【 (；′д｀)ゞ Wow~! Your face looks scary! Don't be angry, come, smile~! Smile~! 】

【 (little Aha holding a "Always Smiling" sign. gif) Where did the smile go~? Was it eaten by bugs? (???????) 】

Heimu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them, her face was a dead‑fish stare, expressionless.

Getting angry at the joy is useless; it only makes the other side happier.

She coldly said to the air, "Please resolve it."

The multicolored text immediately put on a crying, wailing expression:

【? ：? (; ′∩`;)? ：? No no no~! I'm just an ordinary, incompetent, weak, very embarrassed loser~!】

【(Weak, pitiful, helpless but can cause trouble. jpg) Solve? I don't have that ability~! That's Destruction! So scary, so scary!】

Heimu's blood pressure shows an upward trend again.

Reasoning with this person, discussing responsibility, seeking help—it's like playing a lute to a cow!

No, it's even worse!

She forcibly shifts her gaze, looking again at the real-time Winterwood battlefield displayed on the side system split-screen—Chang Ye Yue's shared perspective.

In the picture, Mashu's city wall is on the verge of collapse, the people outside the city strain to hold it up, and beside the Huan Long phantom in the sky, at an unknown time, several even more vague phantoms silently appeared, emitting a completely different yet equally chilling terrifying aura!

One figure interwoven in black and white, one pure white and ethereal, one elegant like a classical gentleman…

Although it's only a faint mental projection across endless space, perhaps merely an illusion formed from Huan Long's shared partial perception, the presence pressure from Extinction Great Lord already makes the battlefield air almost solidify!

They circle around the Huan Long phantoms, as if observing and assessing this newly linked world.

Black Tower floats in the air, its expression unusually solemn, she stares fixedly at those newly appearing phantoms, clearly recognizing their origin.

Artoria and the others also felt a suffocating sense stemming from an absolute disparity in life level and the essence of power.
