All things resist nothingness, all things rush towards nothingness, and all things become nothingness.

[March 7th: W-w-w...am I seeing things? That's the starry sky...and there are two eyes in the starry sky?!]

[Black Tower: No, you're not mistaken, this is the Void Star God.]

[(Honkai Impact: Star Railway) Welt Yang: The existence of Nothingness is a mystery, its image shrouded in layers of mist. IX does not associate with other Star Gods; it believes the essence of the multiverse is Nothingness, and therefore its existence is worthless.]

[Paimon: Sounds like a good example of slacking off.]

[Kaeya: I feel like he could be renamed the "Garbage Star God".]

[Qingque: Hey, I like this star god.]

[Fu Xuan: Qing Que, did you go off somewhere to slack off again?]

[Qingque: Oh no! We've been caught playing with the Imperial Jade!]

[Alicia: Don't you think those uneven eyes look kind of cute?]

[Mona: But when I think about the actual size of those eyes, I'm just awestruck.]

[Dr. Mei: So powerful, the universe seems like it could be devoured at will before Him, but He simply doesn't want to. Fortunately, He is a Void Star God; or rather, it is precisely because He is a Void Star God that He is so powerful.]

[Otto: Even a philosophical concept like nothingness can give rise to a Star God; the world is truly wondrous.]

[Qin: Since this star god believes everything is nothingness, would he choose to reduce the universe to nothingness?]

[Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway] Himeko: Perhaps for Him, such an action is meaningless.

[Nasita: I'm suddenly wondering, would anyone follow this star goddess?]

[Jing Yuan: Both the IXth Organization and the Chaos Physician belong to the Void faction. However, the former is a dark network in the galaxy, whose existence has not yet been confirmed, while the latter are thinkers who inadvertently touched upon the Void. They attempt to rebel against the fate of the Void and prove to it the meaning of the existence of all things.]

[Jing Yuan: The Chaos Physicians uphold the creed of healing the sick: that if they can prove to IX that existence is not nothingness, they can obtain the knowledge from the unknown vastness of the universe. They can also use this knowledge to understand the mysteries of the universe.]

[Zhongli: What a great creed indeed.]

[Jing Yuan: There's a type of person who probably best fits your stereotype of nihilists—the self-destructive. They believe that nothing in the universe has meaning, and that humanity is insignificant in the eyes of the star gods. If the star gods truly transcend all living beings, high above them, why would they care about the loves, hates, joys, and sorrows of mortals?]

[Keqing: Even if everything is nothingness, we shouldn't give up the fight.]

[(Honkai Impact: Star Railway) Bronya: There's actually such a being outside of Beloberg!]

She wasn't unaware of the existence of the Star God; in fact, the current Beloborg was only able to survive because of the power of [Preservation]. It's just that the Void Star God seemed far too exaggerated.

I wonder if this magical screen can help solve Belloberg's problem.

[Kiana: Huh, there's another Bronya.]

[Bronya (Honkai Impact 3): There's already another Himeko-sensei, so it wouldn't be surprising if there's another me. Maybe there's even another Kiana.]

[Kiana: Hmph, I'm definitely the only one.]

[Siegfried: ...]

[Kiana: Ah, it's that stinky old man! Where have you been?]

[Kiana: Damn it, you showed your face and ran away! Don't let me find you!]

The scene on the screen began to change again, and amidst the increasingly expectant gazes of the crowd, the sixth star god revealed His appearance.

[The background music becomes majestic, and flames reappear, completely different from the flames of destruction. Those who gaze upon these flames feel an absolute sense of security.]

At the center of the humanoid figure formed from solid rock is a blazing star.

【Storage and Protection Cripper】

"Push open those solemn city gates," they said. "Pick up the lapis lazuli slabs, read aloud, and recognize what the mud bricks are made of, and who laid the foundation for the walls!"

The builder of the comet wall, the sub-vacuum crystal wall, and the giant attractor disk, he is known to his worshippers as the "Amber King." He is a survivor of the even more ancient "Twilight War."

He knew that the great enemy's engulfment was imminent. Therefore, He had no choice but to forge barriers measured in light-years to seal and protect the world that still held life.

Philosophers gaze at the stars, seeking the ultimate goal of civilization—[building walls], a powerful echo resounding in their minds: [building walls.]

[Paimon: Protect! This must be the friendliest Celestial so far.]

Destruction aside, both hunting and abundance bring indiscriminate salvation and destruction. Intelligence is a cold machine, and nothingness ignores all things in the world. Only the guardian star god will build walls for the universe.

[Zhongli: As steadfast as a rock.]

[Noelle: The power of rock, reassuring.]

[Otto: I wonder what kind of enemy even the Star Gods are so wary of? If it's another Star God, it doesn't seem quite right.]

[Jing Yuan: The Immortal Boat doesn't believe that the Heaven-Mending Master is being overly pessimistic. Regardless of who the enemy is, preparations must be made in advance.]

[Honkai Impact 3rd Himeko: A star wall built on a scale of light-years—it's simply unimaginable.]

[Tesla: Hopefully this star wall will come in handy and the enemy won't be able to bypass it.]

[(Honkai Impact: Star Railway) Bronya: It's the Amber King! This is the Amber King! Beloberg was able to survive because of the help of the city's builders.]

[Kiana: The Builder?]

[(Honkai Impact: The Astral Railway) Welt Yang: Those are people who worship the protective star god Kripper. They imitate his actions, building walls to protect their respective planets, believing that the star god's actions foreshadow the calamity that will end the galaxy.]

[(Honkai Impact: Star Railroad) Walter Yang: The truth behind Kripper's dedication to building the wall remains unverified; only His tireless efforts have inspired mortals to spontaneously gather in groups and begin constructing a barrier to protect the planet.]

[(Honkai Impact: The Astral Railway) Welt Yang: Occasionally, worlds experience catastrophes, only to be preserved because of the towering walls. Those who escape death no longer mock the builders' stubbornness, but instead join their ranks, no longer questioning the motives or meaning of preservation.]

Chapter 5 [Harmony] and [Pleasure]

As Bronya watched the story of the city builders told by a man named Walter Yang on the screen, she felt her blood boil.

She too must protect Beloborg, just as the Amber King and the City Builder did.

Just as she made up her mind, Bronya sensed a powerful will casting its gaze upon her.

In that glimpse, the power of her protection surged rapidly within her. At the same time, Bronya sensed the creation engine in the snowfield outside Beloberg City, and she was now able to control it.

"Thank you, King Amber!"

Bronya once again expressed her gratitude to the Guardian Star God in her heart. After saving Beloberg, she would definitely assist the Amber King in protecting this world, just like the city builders.

The background music becomes mysterious, with the narrator's female voice overlapping with other, deeper voices.

[“Then, they said, ‘You who have reached the end, go to the all-embracing paradise!’]

[It was a star god with three heads, pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle. The aura emanating from the deity was so all-encompassing that one couldn't help but want to merge with Him.]

[Same as Hippe]

"Amidst the grand hymns and feasts, listening to the beating of billions upon billions of hearts, I hold you in my arms—"

[He is a star deity from multiple harmonious celestial worlds, presiding over the [harmonious] destiny. A thousand faces in one, proclaiming the joy of human harmony and unity.]

Behold, a perfect home. No melancholy, no rebellion. No need for longing, no need for dwelling on past sorrows. How enviable!

[Xingqiu: Sounds like a pretty good star god, but something just feels off.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Astral Railroad) Welt Yang: The Harmonious Star God is a cluster of star gods from multiple Harmonious Celestial Worlds. He sings of harmonious joy.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railroad) Welt Yang: In Hippe's view, in order to fight against the merciless laws of the universe, intelligent life needs to erase weak selfishness and individual differences, and merge into the same harmonious melody—the strong helping the weak, the dead protecting the living.]

[Lisa: How could it be so extreme?!]

Losing individual consciousness is no different from death.

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railroad) Welt Yang: In a vision of harmony, the diverse civilizations of the universe will eventually become like brothers, singing in unison a hymn of unity and joy. At that time, the universe will become a harmonious whole, with no more discordant noises puncturing the beautiful chords, and no more fools worrying about the short-sighted future.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Astral Railroad) Welt Yang: Under the loving light of the Star God Hipe, His chosen people formed a warm and harmonious family. They came from different worlds, belonged to different civilizations, and held different identities, but were inseparable family members. There were no noisy disputes or conflicts among them, only eternal love and joy—no family in the universe could be more harmonious than theirs.]

[(Honkai Impact: Astral Railway) Welt Yang: Doesn't that sound wonderful? But not every blessed world can smoothly become a member of the family—few mention those civilizations that perished due to dullness or arrogance. People wonder: Has any member of the family ever grown weary of singing and voluntarily given up the pursuit of harmony? To the question, the family smiles and answers: Never.]

[Paimon: Wow, that's terrifying to think about.]

[Diluc: Join or disappear, how domineering.]

[March 7th: Uncle Yang knows so much!]

[(Honkai Impact: Star Railway) Welt Yang: ...]

[(Honkai Impact: Star Railway) Welt Yang: This content is stored in the train's database. Little March, weren't you also required to view it?]

[March 7th: Hey?]

[(Honkai Impact: Star Railway) Black Tower: Let me tell you something. The Harmonious Star God is not as harmless as He appears. The former Order Star God was assimilated and absorbed by Him.]

[Kiana: Even a Star God can't escape the fate of death?]

[Otto: Oh, is it because the concept of harmony is broader than order? Hmm... but it feels like there's something more to it. What a fascinating world. Too bad I have other things to do right now.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Otto, you can forget about continuing your evil plans, and don't even think about coming here to wreak havoc on this universe!]

[Otto: Heh, isn't your prejudice against me a bit too deep?]

Judging from his expression, his original plan must have succeeded.

However, with the addition of new variables, the plan can be slightly altered.

"Look at the court jesters' sweet talk (for pleasure-seeking), and the sailors' drunken stupor (for gluttony)."

The first star god to appear is a headless figure hidden in darkness, silently cradling countless clown masks and toys, which together constitute his form.

【Joyful Aha】

[The joyful star god. No one can predict why He will laugh heartily. Joy is the privilege of intelligent beings, and Ahab encourages believers to enjoy life's pleasures and seek happiness even in the sharp twists of fate.]

Understanding joy is a right unique to intelligent beings. Neither rocks nor stars can comprehend the humor of life.

Seeking worthy opponents, games to while away the time, and an ending where victory or defeat is irrelevant.

Seeking laugh-out-loud jokes, seeking misunderstandings born of unexpected twists, seeking songs that inspire boundless imagination.

[Padoflis: Ah, I remember now, isn't this the Star God who first appeared in the chat area?]

[Amber: I remember he just posted a bunch of "hahahaha," "God of Joy"... I guess he really is a master of humor?]

[Wendy: The world is so vast, it's not surprising that a celestial being would emerge to embody this concept.]

[(Honkai Impact: Astral Railway) Welt Yang: He wasn't always like this.]
