Chapter 167: Going viral across the whole intergalactic web!
[ Myriad Cosmos PV: Fables About the Stars Part 1 ]
This video undoubtedly exceeded the expectations of all players!
The content it introduced was none other than the peak existences of the various Paths in the universe—the [ Aeons ]!
Never before had the content of a video been so magnificent!
In just a few short minutes, it contained a massive amount of information.
The mere silhouettes of those Aeons were enough to make this video legendary across various worlds!
Of course!
Besides the Aeons.
The entity narrating this fable was undoubtedly a point of extreme interest for everyone!
Someone who knew so many secrets of the Aeons had to be an existence standing at the very top of the universe!
So.
When Black Swan's image appeared at the end of the video.
It immediately caused a massive uproar!
…
"Who is she!?"
"Which expert is this now!?"
"She just cataloged all the Aeons in the cosmos; is she even more powerful than an Aeon?"
"I bet she's an Aeon too!"
"Compared to the previous ones, she looks the most human."
"It's like she's holding the scripts for all the Aeons…"
"Hiss… speaking of which, is it possible she's Elio?"
"That's a bold conjecture."
"Feathered Spirit! I want to pull for this one!"
"If only we could find her. She feels very gentle, like she'd be happy to talk to people…"
…
Hotel Lobby.
People of all stripes gathered together.
After all, everyone was a Star Rail player, and after seeing this video, they spontaneously formed player groups.
Everyone cast aside their original identities, gathering as Star Rail players to excitedly discuss everything that appeared in the video!
"Unbelievable! This 'Fables About the Stars' actually showed the images of so many Aeons!"
"Some of them have no visual records left at all, yet we actually got to see them in this video!"
"What 'Fables About the Stars'? This is a straight-up 'Aeon Catalog'!"
"Feathered Spirit just dropped a total bombshell!"
"I'm more concerned about that mysterious woman at the end. For some reason, I feel like I've seen her somewhere?"
"I have that feeling too, and 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 open a divination stall in a place like this… I took another look, and she really looks like the woman in the video!"
"She's packing up! Let's go check it out, quick!"
A group of people swarmed toward Black Swan in a grand procession.
Black Swan, who was packing her things, felt her eyelid twitch slightly.
As expected…
They realized.
She quickly sped up her movements!
But.
It was too late.
The people in front saw her face and were instantly beyond excited!
"It's her!"
"It really is her!"
"The woman from the end of the video!"
"The one who spoke the fables of the Aeons!"
Several players rushed forward excitedly, speaking to Black Swan with a mix of thrill and trepidation: "Um… Boss!"
"May I ask who you actually are?"
"What's your relationship with Feathered Spirit?"
"How do you know these secrets about the Aeons!?"
Black Swan didn't mind answering people.
In the past, it was always one-on-one; while she patiently answered, she would have the other party trade their memories in exchange.
But this large crowd suddenly surrounding her was a dark mass of people.
No one could handle that.
At that moment.
Two security guards from the Interastral Peace Corporation squeezed to the front.
They stood before Black Swan.
And said solemnly: "Miss, our boss wants to talk to you."
Black Swan had just tucked away her last divination orb.
The simulated table also deconstructed and vanished.
She said in a regretful tone: "Apologies, I am not acquainted with your boss."
"I am merely a Memokeeper… regarding that video you just saw, I don't have much of a clue either."
Clearly.
These words weren't very convincing.
The two security guards remained firm in their attitude.
Black Swan sighed.
"No choice then, this will have to do for now…"
Everyone surrounding her suddenly looked dazed!
The two security guards scratched their heads.
"What were we doing here?"
They looked at Black Swan in front of them.
One of them immediately bowed slightly: "Apologies, beautiful lady, I hope we haven't caused you any trouble."
"It's quite alright."
The surrounding players were also somewhat bewildered.
"Strange, why did we all run over here?"
"I remember seeing a really incredible video just now, but what was the content again?"
"I remember it was the latest release from Feathered Spirit…"
"What are you standing around for? Go watch it again!"
While everyone was busy re-watching the video.
Black Swan quickly withdrew from the crowd's encirclement.
She used her powers as a Memokeeper to make these people temporarily lose their memory of seeing "Fables About the Stars Part 1."
However, this was not a long-term solution.
Although she could clear this memory, these people would soon see the video again.
She had been exposed to players across the entire universe by this video!
Black Swan knew.
She couldn't appear in public for the time being!
Once seen by players.
She would inevitably become the center of attention!
Fortunately, as a Memokeeper, she had no physical body.
Traveling through Penacony in the form of a meme wasn't too much trouble.
Her figure gradually became transparent.
She was waiting for someone about to enter the dream.
She would use their memory to enter the dreamscape of Penacony together.
Soon.
A Dreamchaser arrived at the hotel lobby.
After completing the check-in procedures at the front desk, he took a book and headed to his room to prepare for the dream.
The cover of the book featured an elegant woman in a long dress.
Black Swan silently attached herself to it.
The elegant woman instantly transformed into Black Swan's image.
"I'll leave it to you…"
"I can't stay in reality anymore."
"Take me to the Golden Hour~"
…
Little Gui's Stream.
Guinaifen had also finished watching "Fables About the Stars Part 1."
She paused the video on the final frame.
Staring intently at Black Swan's image.
She analyzed it bit by bit.
"I think… she might be Feathered Spirit's maid!"
"Similar to the relationship between an Aeon and an Emanator."
"Feathered Spirit let his maid explain the fables of the Aeons to provide a deep-level supplement and explanation of the game content…"
The viewers in the stream immediately started firing off bullet chats.
…
"Is she actually a genius?"
"Revealing the images of all the Aeons and adding corresponding riddles under their names… this style is indeed like the style in the game."
"Did Feathered Spirit really send her out to introduce them?"
"Suddenly it feels so logical!"
"I almost believe it."
…
Guinaifen was impressed by her own bold idea.
She prepared to post a speculation thread in the Leaks section.
Just then.
She suddenly saw a newly posted thread.
[ New Version New Character Leak! First person on the web to post! Absolutely authentic! ]
This thread had very low views.
If Guinaifen hadn't happened to see it, it would likely have vanished among the many spam posts in the next second.
Because ever since this section grew in scale, some "History Fictionologists" and "Masked Fools" had been posting misleading spam.
The content was varied and extremely ridiculous.
The two currently recognized leak giants.
Were [ Camera Elder ] and [ Account Banned ].
The poster's name was: [ Most Honest Person in Aurum Alley].
For the sake of that ID.
Guinaifen clicked in.
As soon as she entered.
She was drawn to the large image of the first character splash art.
Her eyes stared straight at the woman in the picture!
Five seconds later.
She cried out in disbelief: "This, isn't this the woman from the end of 'Fables About the Stars'!?"
"Her name is… Black Swan!?"
"A Memokeeper of the [ Garden of Recollection ]? A mysterious diviner?"
"So she's not an Aeon, nor Elio, and certainly not Feathered Spirit's maid or anything…"
"But a Memokeeper!"
"And…"
"Looking at this, she's going to be a playable character in the future!?"
Inside the stream.
The pot boiled over instantly!
