Fables of the Starry Sky, Part One.
This video undoubtedly exceeded the expectations of all players!
What it introduced was none other than the pinnacle beings of the various Paths in the universe—the Aeons!
Never before had a video's content been so grand!
In just a few minutes, it contained an immense amount of information.
The mere presence of those Aeons was enough to make this video celebrated across countless worlds!
Of course!
Beyond the Aeons.
The entity narrating this fable was undoubtedly another point of great interest for everyone!
Someone who knows so many secrets about the Aeons must also stand at the apex of the universe!
Thus.
When the image of Black Swan appeared at the end of the video.
It immediately caused an uproar!
...
"Who is she!?"
"Who is this master!?"
"She just went through all the Aeons in the sky, is she even more amazing than the Aeons themselves?"
"I bet she's also an Aeon!"
"Compared to the Aeons before her, she looks the most human."
"It's like she's holding the script for all the Aeons…"
"Hiss… now that you mention it, could she be Elio?"
"That's a bold speculation."
"Yu Ling! I want to pull for her!"
"If only we could find her, she seems so gentle, like she'd be willing to talk to people…"
...
Hotel Lobby.
People of all kinds gathered together.
After all, everyone here was a Star Rail player, and after seeing this video, they spontaneously formed a player group.
Everyone set aside their original identities and gathered together as Star Rail player.
Excitedly discussing everything that appeared in the video!
"This is unbelievable! This Fables of the Starry Sky actually showed the images of so many Aeons!"
"Some of them don't even have any recorded footage, yet we got to see them in this video!"
"What [Fables of the Starry Sky], it's more like [Aeons' Compendium]!"
"Yu Ling just dropped the ultimate bomb!"
"I'm more curious about the mysterious woman at the end of the video. Somehow, I feel like I've seen her before?"
"I have the same feeling, and it was just recently!"
"Are you guys talking about… that woman setting up a stall in the corner over there?"
"!!!"
"When I first came in, I wondered why someone would set up a fortune-telling stall in a place like this… but after taking a closer look, she really does look like the woman in the video!"
"She's packing up! Let's go check her out!"
A group of people, in a grand procession, began to surround Black Swan.
Black Swan, who was packing up her things, twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.
As expected…
They've noticed, haven't they.
She quickly sped up her movements!
But.
It was already too late.
The people approaching her saw her face and immediately became ecstatic!
"It's her!"
"It's really her!"
"The woman from the end of the video!"
"The one who narrated the fables of the Aeons!"
Several players excitedly stepped forward, both thrilled and nervous, and asked Black Swan, "Um… ma'am!"
"Who exactly are you?"
"What's your relationship with Yu Ling?"
"How do you know all these secrets about the Aeons!?"
Black Swan wasn't opposed to answering their questions.
In the past, it was always one-on-one. While patiently answering questions, I would have the other person exchange their memories with me.
But suddenly, a large group of people surrounded me, a dark mass pressing in.
Anyone would be overwhelmed in such a situation.
At that moment.
Two security personnel from the Interastral Peace Corporation pushed their way to the front.
They approached Black Swan.
Speaking seriously, they said, "Miss, our boss would like to have a word with you."
Black Swan, at this moment, put away the last of her divination orbs.
The simulated table disintegrated and dissipated.
She spoke in a regretful tone, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with your boss."
"I'm just a Memokeeper... I'm not quite sure about the video you just saw either."
Clearly.
This explanation wasn't very convincing.
The two security personnel remained resolute.
Black Swan sighed.
"Well, there's no other way, I'll have to do this..."
Suddenly, everyone surrounding her looked dazed!
The two security personnel scratched their heads.
"What were we doing here?"
Looking at Black Swan in front of them.
One of them immediately bowed slightly, "Apologies, beautiful lady, we hope we haven't caused you any trouble."
"It's alright."
The surrounding onlookers were also somewhat puzzled.
"Strange, why did we all come here?"
"I remember seeing a really amazing video just now, but what was it about?"
"I think it was something Yu Ling just released..."
"What are we waiting for? Let's watch it again!"
Taking advantage of everyone rewatching the video.
Black Swan quickly extricated herself from the crowd.
She used her abilities as a Memokeeper to temporarily erase their memories of the segment about the allegory of the stars.
However, this was not a long-term solution.
Although she could erase this memory, these people would soon see the video again.
She had already been exposed to the entire universe's players through this video!
Black Swan knew.
She couldn't appear in public for the time being!
Once seen by the players.
She would inevitably become the target of everyone's attention!
Fortunately, as a Memokeeper, she had no physical form.
Wandering Penacony as a Memetic Entity wasn't too troublesome.
Her form gradually became transparent.
She was waiting for someone about to enter the Dreamscape.
She would use his memories to enter Penacony's Dreamscape together.
Soon.
A dream chaser arrived at the Hotel Lobby.
After completing the formalities at the front desk, he took a book and headed to his room to prepare to enter the Dreamscape.
The cover of the book depicted an elegant woman in a long dress.
Black Swan silently attached herself to it.
The elegant woman instantly transformed into the image of Black Swan.
"Please..."
"I can't stay in reality anymore."
"Take me to the Golden Hour~"
...
In Little Gui's live stream.
Guinaifen had also finished watching the allegory of the stars.
She paused the video at the last frame.
Staring intently at the image of Black Swan.
Analyzing bit by bit, she said.
"I think... she might be Yu Ling's maid!"
"Similar to the relationship between an Aeon and an Emanator."
"Yu Ling has her maid explain the allegories about the Aeons, providing a deeper level of explanation and supplement to the game's content..."
The viewers in the live stream immediately started sending comments.
...
"Could she really be a genius?"
"Revealing the images of all the Aeons, and even adding corresponding riddle descriptions beneath their names... this style really does resemble something from a game."
"Could it really be Yu Ling who had her introduce it?"
"It suddenly feels so plausible!"
"I'm almost convinced."
...
Guinaifen was even impressed by her own bold idea.
She was about to post a speculative thread in the leaks section.
Right at that moment.
She suddenly noticed a newly posted thread.
[New Version Character Leaks! First to Release Online! Absolutely Genuine!]
This post had very low traffic.
If Guinaifen hadn't stumbled upon it by chance, it would likely have been buried among the countless spam posts in the next second.
Ever since this section gained traction, some [History Fictionologists] and [trolls] had been posting misleading spam.
The content was all over the place, and utterly absurd.
The two acknowledged leak masters now.
Were [Zhao Camera] and [Account Banned].
The poster's username was: [The Most Honest Person in Aurum Alley].
Out of curiosity due to the username.
Guinaifen clicked into it.
As soon as she entered.
She was immediately captivated by the large character artwork at the top.
Her eyes were glued to the woman in the image!
Five seconds later.
She exclaimed in disbelief, "This... isn't this the woman from the end of [The Fables of the Starry Sky]?!"
"Her name is... Black Swan!?"
"A Memokeeper from the [Garden of Recollection]? A mysterious fortune-teller?"
"So she's not some Aeon, nor Elio, nor even Yu Ling's maid or anything like that..."
"But a Memokeeper!"
"And..."
"Judging by this, she's going to become a playable character in the future!?"
In the live stream.
The chat exploded instantly!.
