Chapter 1: Reborn as the Man Behind the Scenes [Seeking Collections]

"Hey—hey, hey—"

"Please return to your seats, everyone. The jump is about to begin."

"Please prepare yourselves!"

The voice of the "Conductor," Pom-Pom, echoed throughout the Astral Express.

Hearing this, Bai Bai Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the familiar scene before him.

The interior of the Astral Express remained retro and elegant; some passengers were seated, while others were restless.

There was still no sign of Dan Heng in the carriage; he was likely locked in his room as usual.

With short pink hair, a cute face, and a youthful, pretty appearance, the silly roe Xuan Xuan Deer was none other than March 7th.

She was currently standing in the middle of the aisle, eyes tightly shut, muttering incessantly:

"Won't fall, won't fall, won't fall..."

She was once again attempting the [Jump Without Falling] challenge.

With hair like flames, dressed in white, and a face that carried the charm of time without showing age, was Himeko.

She was holding a hand-drip coffee, having sat on the sofa early on.

Like her, there was a gentleman with great temperament and a slightly serious air, Welt Yang.

This man, who looked like he had many stories to tell, sat upright on the sofa, waiting for the jump to begin.

As for him, Bai Bai Xuan?

Young, with black eyes and black hair.

Wearing a black robe over dark attire, with a gold-rimmed monocle over his right eye.

He possessed the steadiness of an adult, the heroic spirit of a youth, and the cuteness of a young boy.

It was just that, right now...

Spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, summer dozing, winter hibernation.

He shifted his slightly numb buttocks a little and continued to close his eyes to rest.

There was nothing wrong with being a quiet, beautiful man.

Besides, his strength was sufficient.

If any Aeon dared to invade, he would ensure they never returned!

Everyone on this train had their unique aspects and significant secrets.

There was an unspoken understanding between them: these secrets could be shared voluntarily, but one would not force an inquiry.

At least.

He, a passenger who had only ridden for two stops.

Did not believe.

That anyone else on this train had a secret greater than his.

Bai Bai Xuan was a transmigrator.

Not long ago, he had transmigrated into the world of "Honkai: Star Rail."

And he had bound himself to a golden finger called the [Containment Popularization System].

According to the system.

As long as he popularized containment objects in this world, letting more people know of the existence of the Foundation and the containment objects, he could gain popularity.

As long as he successfully resolved incidents, he could obtain certain system rewards, which could be interstellar technology, weaponry, various talents, all kinds of buildings, or even extraordinary powers.

The system was also very generous, giving a beginner's gift pack at the start.

It contained the Foundation's main base, an interstellar battle group, and an interstellar fleet.

Furthermore, it included a Path called "Containment."

This ability was simple and brutal: contain everything, control everything.

In other words, Bai Bai Xuan was already an Aeon, an Aeon who could contain all other Aeons.

If this Path were to be exposed, then all Aeons would become his enemies, right?

After all, theoretically speaking.

He could devour and use the power of all Aeons.

And just a moment ago, news came from the Foundation base that the content for the first containment object had been produced and was ready to be deployed at any time.

"Then let's wait until the jump is complete; coincidentally, the main storyline is about to begin."

Thinking this, Bai Bai Xuan relaxed his body, appearing to have fallen completely asleep.

Welt Yang and Himeko, seeing this scene from the side, saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

They speculated inwardly whether Bai Bai Xuan would open up a Path related to "Sleep."

In the future, all his followers would have to do was sleep well.

That didn't sound too bad, did it?

Pom-Pom's voice sounded again, beginning the countdown for the jump.

"5"

A strange energy swept across the entire train, everything outside seemed to stop, and the starlight was stretched into lines.

"4"

"3"

"2"

Space twisted and collapsed.

In this instant, the Astral Express crossed several light-years, or perhaps hundreds of light-years.

"1!"

The scene changed abruptly, and the Astral Express burst out from the void with shattered starlight.

Not far from the Astral Express, a deep blue planet orbited a star.

In its orbit, a space station dominated by white was slowly floating.

Herta Space Station.

—The private property of Ms. Herta, member #83 of the Genius Society.

"Ouch!"

Sure enough, March 7th lost her footing and fell toward the floor.

If she had landed on her bottom, the beautiful girl would probably cry for a long time.

But the expected scene did not occur.

Bai Bai Xuan raised an index finger, and with a slight movement of his fingertip, he lifted her onto the sofa to the side.

"Sorry, Uncle Bai..."

"Ah, no, Brother Bai."

"Little Brother Bai, thank you."

March 7th tiptoed over to Bai Bai Xuan, rubbed his cheek, and giggled.

There was absolutely no sign of reflection.

In reality, it wasn't just March 7th who liked to crowd around him.

Even Himeko and Welt Yang would occasionally find an excuse to invite him over to enjoy tea and snacks together.

As for the reason, it was because Bai Bai Xuan would involuntarily radiate a power that made those around him no longer feel tired, put them in a pleasant mood, and even slowly enhance their strength.

It was just like catnip to a cat.

Seeing that it was impossible to continue sleeping, Bai Bai Xuan yawned, his eyes shifting slightly to look at the pink silly roe Xuan Xuan Deer, and he smiled faintly:

"Auntie March, your challenge failed again today."

March 7th was dumbfounded, as if she had Actions Actions Taken a critical hit.

"March..."

"Auntie..."

Even the usually composed Himeko and Welt Yang had the corners of their mouths curl up slightly.

After a moment, March 7th hurriedly pressed down on Bai Bai Xuan's shoulders:

"What about Himeko then?"

How could you dare to ask such a death-defying question? Aren't you afraid of being frozen into an icicle and sent into space again...

Bai Bai Xuan sighed helplessly in his heart.

He looked at March 7th, who was puffing out her cheeks, and tilted his head slightly:

"Of course it's Sister Himeko."

It seemed only natural.

"You!"

March 7th was puffed up with anger, trying to pass it off with a fierce-yet-cute look, but was interrupted by Himeko.

"Alright, alright, Big March, we're arriving at the station, and our little brother Bai still needs to wake up."

"Eh? How come even Himeko is bullying me!"

——Himeko usually called her "Little March."

Just at this moment, an anomaly occurred!

All the electronic screens inside the Astral Express went black simultaneously.

Immediately after, the images lit up again.

Replacing them.

Was a strange symbol composed of a black circle and three arrows.

Below it were the eye-catching characters for "Foundation."

At the same time.

A massive projection appeared beside the train, drawing everyone's gaze toward it.

The sudden turn of events made March 7th stop worrying about the issue of titles.

"What is this? Is it a prank by some Aeon?"

Pom-Pom rushed into the carriage:

"The train has lost control!"

Dan Heng also rushed in hurriedly:

"Is there an enemy invasion?"

Himeko and Welt Yang looked grave as they looked out the train window, only to see that it wasn't just outside the Astral Express that a massive projection had appeared.

Even outside the Herta Space Station and above the Blue Star, this strange situation had appeared.

The same scene also appeared on Jarilo-VI, the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou, the Blue Star, Tosta, Hyperion, Edo Star, the Genius Society, the Interastral Peace Corporation, the IPC...

Countless light screens appeared.

A broadcast facing the entire universe had begun!

[Humanity has thrived for a million years, but only the last 400,000 years have been meaningful.]

A male voice, full of spirit yet slightly youthful, read the narration.

If one listened carefully, they would notice that this voice was 90% to 100% similar to Bai Bai Xuan's.

The Foundation logo in the image faded, and lines of text appeared.
