[Bai Lu: Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, Dan Heng, why are you different from me? You don't have a tail.]

[Dan Heng: According to records, the succession of a Dragon Lord requires the execution of a secret ritual called the Dragon Transformation Technique, as well as a powerful artifact considered the heart of the dragon. Once the succession is complete, the former Dragon Lord will molt from an egg, and the new Dragon Lord will reveal his dragon form.]

[Danheng: However, Danfeng's ritual failed. His power remained within me, and for some reason, it also created you.]

[Bai Lu: It seems this guy is like a quack doctor who changed the prescription without authorization. Now look what's happened; he's harmed himself and others.]

[Dan Heng: The Dragon Lord's legacy is incomplete, which has trapped you in shallow waters. Fortunately, you possess a vitality that is not easily manipulated. In any case, you do possess the true power of the Dragon Lord.]

"Let's first talk about how this blade came about. After Jingliu defected, he suddenly returned to the Immortal Ship many years later. He pulled the immortal Yingxing out of prison, finely chopped him into minced meat, waited for him to revive, then killed him again, then let him revive again, and killed him again. He did this thousands and tens of thousands of times."

"Why are these two acting like this? Yingxing knows she's guilty and wants to die, while Jingliu, firstly, she also hates Yingxing for doing those awful experiments, and secondly... she has a demonic aura."

"But during this process, Jingliu did indeed teach Yingxing superb swordsmanship and killing techniques, and then Yingxing went to hunt down Danheng, haha."

"Then why do this?"

"First, he might think that Danfeng's reincarnation isn't entirely the same as not reincarnating at all, so he might as well kill Danheng! Second, she possesses a demonic yin body."

[The video inserts a movie clip where Ren grips Dan Heng's hand: "You have to kill me, or I'll kill you!"]

[Danheng: "Why are you doing this? Killing each other benefits no one."]

"Later, Yingxing encountered the Star Core Hunters. After being promised true revenge and death by Elio, he joined the Star Core Hunters. Kafka suppressed his demonic body, and he abandoned his past, changing his name to [Blade]."

[Zhongli: A blade... that wears oneself down and tears the enemy apart, that is a weapon.]

[Fu Xuan: The Demonic Yin Body is actually caused by the long-term accumulation of memories raising a person's emotional threshold. In the end, all that can be remembered are the most painful and regretful extreme emotions. Perhaps Ying Xing was overwhelmed by those regrets, which is why he fell into the Demonic Yin Body.]

As for Jing Yuan… those hundred years among the Five Heroes of the Clouds were too precious for him; they had become the most profound memories of his life, which is why he did not fall into the demonic body.

[Blade: Danheng...do you think that by changing your appearance and identity, you can erase your past sins? You...you've never even experienced death...I'll make you feel that pain, Danheng, I'll let you know the pain of death!]

[Blade: When will our karmic retribution arrive? How will we repay the debts we owe!]

[Danheng: I've already said it before, you won't get what you want from me.]

[Blade: Then we have no choice but to continue this chase. This is the price we have to pay.]

[Danheng: I'll see this through to the end.]

[Blade: In Elio's script, you still have a reason to live for now. And I don't mind dragging out the revenge process; it might be more interesting that way.]

"And Danheng's side, from his perspective, is also pretty miserable. I was locked up in a prison right after I was born, and I was tied up and tortured every day. Later, I was finally exiled, but then this crazy guy appeared and chases me around, slashing at me every day, muttering some kind of atonement or something. I can't understand a word he says, and he can't kill me by stabbing me. He's like a damn spoon killer."

Chapter 60 The Social Scoundrels in the Castle Keep (4k)

[The video then inserts another clip from a movie—Ren frantically banging a spoon against Dan Heng as he chases after her.]

[Dan Heng: "This weirdo keeps attacking me with a spoon; he's constantly bothering me...he's everywhere."]

"Now you know why Danheng resolutely voted against the train going to Xianzhou, right? 'Damn it, whoever wants to go can go,' and why he decided to go after seeing Ren's photo—'Damn it, what a jerk!' Oh no, I can't let my companions get entangled with this killer."

[Aha: He fled, he chased, he couldn't escape even with wings.]

[Kiana: No, this person has such a good eye for choosing material.]

[Sambo: Haha, the spoon killer, so apt! Hahaha, sorry, it's hard not to laugh after watching this video.]

[Kiana: I feel Danheng is truly innocent.]

Danfeng paid the price for his crime and accepted the punishment of having his scales removed. After Danheng was reborn, he remembered almost nothing, but he was still bound by chains and nailed to a dark prison. Later, he was expelled from the immortal ship and was mistaken for Danfeng by others, enduring hatred and being hunted down.

Most importantly, a group of people believe that Dan Heng is actually the successor of Dan Feng, demanding that he repay the sins of his previous life. However, no one remembers the deeds of the previous Dragon Lords before Dan Heng, nor do they attribute their merits to Dan Heng.

"So from God's perspective, the main storyline of the Immortal Ship has a thread. Elio's script requires the Immortal Ship to owe the protagonists a favor, so Danheng must open the sea in the Scale Abyss Realm. Therefore, Danheng must come to the Immortal Ship first."

"To trigger the plot where he's willing to come, Danheng's companions and Ren must both be present on the Immortal Ship. This is why Kafka went to the train to persuade him first, and why Ren had to appear on the Immortal Ship."

[Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway] Himeko: The train's next destination after Arilol VI is Pinocchio. It turns out that our travel plans were forcibly changed by the Star Core Hunters in the future. No wonder the train crew ended up on the Celestial Ship.

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: I can see the intense sadness in Danheng's eyes every time the Celestial Ship is mentioned. They banished you, but Luofu is still your home. So I know that if there's a need, you'll definitely go there.]

[Dan Heng:...]

[March 7th: If you ask me, the Star Core Hunter should have just told Uncle Yang that Otto was on the Immortal Ship, and nothing would have happened.]

[Tesla: I can almost picture Joachim launching.]

"The following plot is what everyone experiences in the main storyline of the game—Ren completes Elio's script, Danheng uses the power of the Moon to help the Immortal Ship overcome its difficulties, Jingyuan uses the power of all parties to defeat Huanlong, Jingliu returns from his hundred-year journey and finds a way to kill the Abundant Star God, and several wanted criminals also visit Bailu. This part made me unable to watch Bailu heal Ren the same way again."

"Finally, Jingliu gathered everyone together for a final class reunion."

[A new movie clip appears—Jing Liu raises his glass: "The reason we're all gathered here today is for my childhood friend, Bai Heng."]

"Now we finally understand what the saying 'five people, three consequences' meant—it means that among the Five Heroes of the Clouds, Danfeng, Yingxing, and Jingliu committed crimes and must pay the price."

"Thinking about it this way, when Ren said that fierce line in the CG, 'You're not one of them,' it actually meant, 'There are five people, the three of us made a mistake, Jingyuan, you're right.' He's actually a pretty good person."

[Wendy: Hahaha, no problem.]

[Qin: The blade might just be a way of indicating his intentions, showing that he's not here to oppose Jing Yuan.]

[Jing Liu: There were five people, and three consequences… The culprit, Yin Yue, acted recklessly, unauthorizedly using the Dragon Transformation Technique to resurrect the dead and change their forms, causing a great disaster and disgracing the honor of warriors. Consort Ying Xing, arrogant and conceited, tainted the flesh and blood of the Abundant Divine Envoy, aiding Yin Yue's reckless actions, ultimately falling into the form of an immortal abomination… And the sinner, Jing Liu, succumbed to demonic influence, murdered his comrades, and betrayed his alliance.]

[Mirror Flow: Now, it's time for us to pay the price.]

[Jingliu: Danheng, you can never escape Yinyue, for he is your starting point. The sins he committed will accompany you on your path, like a shadow, until you perish.]

[Mirror Flow: You can convince yourself time and again that you are the reincarnation of Danfeng, and have nothing to do with the crimes he committed. You can also insist that you have forgotten everything. But you cannot escape the battle.]

[Blade: Not bad, your spear skills are no different from Yin Yue's.]

"Finally, after clarifying the sins and consequences of the three, the class reunion officially ended. Before leaving, Blade said: 'Kagami-ryu, you still owe me a sword. If you're a brother, come and cut me.'"

Why come back for this last time? There could be many explanations.

"A. Being killed by Mirror Style grants the blade a brief period of tranquility, which can be used as a sleeping pill."

"B. The Blood of the Burning Blade can stack attack power for Mirror Flow and passive effects for Blade."

"C. The project team wants to showcase a cool CG sequence here."

"D. They possess demonic possession."

The video showed that movie clip again, but this time it was Kagami Ryu whose hand was being held by the blade: "You have to kill me, or I'll kill you!"

[Mirror Flow: "You banana, you bastard, if you want to die, why are you dragging me along?"]

"Okay, that concludes my brief summary of the Five Stars of Cloud. This is just my personal opinion, so please take it with a grain of salt."

[Sambo: Great! As expected of the Demonic Body! It can answer almost anything!]

[Ying: Do you dare disobey me, who possesses a demonic body?]

[Fu Xuan: Perhaps in the end, Ren just wanted to test whether the Mirror Flow could sever the abundant power within him.]

[Yanqing: The general's past is so complicated; these entanglements are far more difficult to resolve than swordsmanship... I have many like-minded friends in the Cloud Cavalry. Given time, will we also fall apart like this...?]

[Yomiya: Looking back, I feel like Jingyuan really suffered a lot.]

[Aista: Yes, those five heroes of the Cloud Realm, so full of vigor back then, are now reduced to the youngest, him. Of the other four, one is dead, two have gone mad, and one has reincarnated… Back then, Jingyuan could laze around them without a care in the world, but now he can't even find one person to reminisce with.]

[Aha: Jingyuan is the youngest of the five. He wanted to be a sea patrol knight since he was a child, but he ended up becoming the General of Luofu. This position is both a responsibility and a constraint for him.]

[Aha: Yingxing was originally a craftsman, a short-lived creature, but in the end received a blessing of abundance, fell into a demonic state, and spent the rest of his life trapped in painful memories.]

[Aha: Yinyue has already paid the price for his mistakes, but Danheng is burdened by the shadows of his past life, misunderstood and resented, yet he ultimately returns to protect the Immortal Ship.]

[Aha: Mirror Stream was originally a swordsman who performed great feats, fighting against the bountiful monsters, but ultimately fell into demonic darkness.]

[Aha: Bai Yan chose to sacrifice himself to save his comrades, but his death became the catalyst for their turning against each other.]

[Aha: No one is truly at peace and joyful, nor is anyone truly irredeemable; legends who once amazed an entire era eventually went their separate ways, ending in tragedy.]

[Aha: How twisted! The more stomach aches, the more enjoyable it is; the more enjoyable it is, the more I love watching it.]

[Aha: Hehe, if the Star Core Hunter hadn't brought the Star Train to the Immortal Ship, Jing Yuan wouldn't have faced a confrontation with his former friend Ren, but he also wouldn't have been able to open the Scale Abyss Realm. He could only watch helplessly as the Great Lord of Annihilation activated the Jianmu Tree, ultimately leading to the tragedy of half the Immortal Ship Luofu dying. At that time, what would General Jing Yuan, who had guarded it for over seven hundred years, have thought? Would he have wondered if the Five Heroes of the Clouds had been there, and if things had turned around?]

[Ahaha: Hahaha! I suddenly really want to see Kyung-won's expression back then! It must have been hilarious!]

[Black Tower: ...As expected of you.]

[elf:……]

Come to think of it, why does the story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds suddenly feel a bit familiar...? The youngest, four friends, are not the same as before...

This, isn't this referring to the Five Great Demons?

How can they be so similar?

[Zhongli: I long to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but alas, my old friend, when will we meet again...]

[star:!]

Something's not right!

Jingliu said that the train crew is the same as the Five Heroes of the Clouds. Thinking about it carefully, we have the cool guy Dragon Lord, the sweet girl atmosphere group, the big sister, and the unkillable one. So who is left?

Mocking Jingyuan, understanding Jingyuan, becoming Jingyuan, surpassing Jingyuan.

This is not the future she wants!

Congratulations to Jingyuan for winning a [Roasted Cave Salamander]!

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Seele: Isn't this a common source of protein in the lower Berlöberg area? You can even buy it at food stalls.]

[Alicia: Since it's being given as a reward, does that mean...?]

[Jingyuan: ...Hmm, like the previous Teyvat omelet, it's also a resurrection item.]

[Mirror Flow: !]

[edge:! ]

[Danheng: !]

[Aha: Rise again, my Bai Heng!]

The next video is titled "[Yes, General] She raised the average bust size of the Seven Gods, but lowered their average IQ."
