Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

[Ah-ge-ha: "Hehe~ What bad intentions could Ah-ha possibly have?"]

[Ah! Ha!: "Go use the chat group to adventure in other worlds and get what you want. You might even replace Akivili as the new God of Pioneers!"]

[Ah! Ha!: "As for me, hehe~ Take me with you when you go exploring other worlds, so I can enjoy some unprecedented fun!"]

【Ah! Ha!: How about it~ This kind of thing is a great deal no matter how you look at it~】

[Zhong Heng: "..."]

Looking at Aha's comments in the chat group, Zhongheng felt that things were not so simple.

After all, everyone knows that when Aha is quiet, he must be up to no good.

They've all broken through the chat group's defenses and broken in, even adding competitive and crossover features to the chat group.

He said that he would give these group members a chance to surpass Archivist and become the pioneering star god by exploring worlds that Archivist had never reached, and that Aha himself would have fun in the process.

After all, back when I was a player in my previous life, I had heard many researchers mention that philosophical concepts like the Star Gods are proofs that last forever.

Moreover, judging from the storyline before the time travel, Xing, who has just boarded the train, seems more like Akivili setting sail again.

In the future, she inexplicably went against the tide and became the master of the "end" destiny - the Last King.

and many more...

Perhaps Aha understood this, and also had some past acquaintance with Akivili.

So after hacking into the chat group, they immediately added a time travel function and told the group members about it, encouraging them to embark on a pioneering journey.

Could it be, as the Black Tower suggests, that this is a path of further expansion and development, delaying the arrival of the end?

The Honkai Impact universe is only so big. If it is explored too many times, it will eventually set foot in the same place again and experience the same things.

Over time, with repeated occurrences, the pioneering power replenished by the train diminishes, ultimately leading to its demise.

Therefore, it would be better to use the power of exploration to open a gap, allowing exploration to reach more places, connect more worlds, and explore more unknowns.

In this way, while the final outcome may not be completely changed, it will certainly be delayed.

After much thought, Zhongheng realized that this was actually what Ahha wanted to achieve...

Zhong Heng: "@AhLeGeHa Since you've said so, and the other group members have no objections, then let's do it your way."

There's nothing we can do; after all, Aha is the God of Pleasure.

Although he became a balanced messenger through his own continuous progress, he was still far from becoming a star god.

The chat group couldn't stop Aha, and I certainly didn't have the ability to stop him.

It's better to go along with their wishes, but just be more careful when exploring other worlds in the future.

[Ah! Haha~ Well then, next up is the strongest envoy of the "Pioneers"—Hakivili!]

[Group System: "Ding~ Joyful Star God Aha has changed the group name to 'Pioneering the Orthodox'!"]

[Group system: "Ding~ Joyful Star God Aha has issued train tickets!"]

[Group System: "Ding~ Duanmu Yan has been invited to join the chat group via train ticket!"]

[Group System: "Ding~ Luo Xiaohei has accepted the invitation to join the chat group via train ticket!"]

[Group System: "Ding~ Medusa has been invited to join the chat group via ticket!"]

The group system beeped several times in succession. Aha not only changed the original group name to Pioneer Orthodoxy, but also issued the same train tickets to the existing group members as the train members here. Not only that, these tickets can also invite new members to join.

He even calls himself the strongest pioneer, Hagiville, and the true pioneers are indulging in pleasure? Aren't you afraid that Hagiville will cause trouble for Him when He returns!

Zhong Heng twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at the newcomers to the group. The first two were alright, but as for the last one...

Medusa? I just don't know if she's a mythological character or a character created for anime or film.

However, it wasn't long before the images uploaded directly by the group system resolved Zhongheng's doubts.

[Group System: "Ding~ The group system has uploaded videos of 'Armor Hero,' 'The Legend of Luo Xiaohei,' and 'Fate!'"]

Well, with a wicked yet righteous General Duanmu, a cat demon Luo Xiaohei, and a mythical heroine Medusa, the chat group is really getting bigger and bigger.

First came the catgirl Pado, and now we have the real cat Luo Xiaohei. Will they bring in Saifeier or other cats later?

[Group Owner Nanxing: "Welcome newcomers! If you have any questions, please check the group announcement. You can also watch the videos uploaded to the group system to learn about the future of your world!"]

[Gu Yi: "Welcome to the new member! By the way, the group shop still has items uploaded by other members who joined before."]

[Dad: "Indeed, if new members encounter problems, they can earn points by checking in and rent out items to solve their current difficulties."]

[Shin Dai-no: "Showing my support, welcome to the newcomer!"]

[The Great Black Tower: "How interesting. I never imagined I'd become a member of the Star Train through this method."]

[Big Black Tower: "By the way, welcome to the new members. Let's talk about anything after you've digested the group announcement and watched the videos uploaded to the group system, otherwise it'll be a bit complicated to explain."]

[Padau Phyllis: "@Luo Xiaohei! This new group member is actually a cat demon!"]

[Rin: "She is indeed quite cute!"]

[Zhongheng: "Welcome, newcomer!"]

After temporarily leaving the chat group, Zhong Heng rubbed his temples. With Aha in the group and having such high privileges, it was easy to imagine that the future would be very lively.

However, Zhong Heng still has a lot of things to deal with on his own, so he doesn't have the mind to explore other worlds for the time being.

But after glancing at Himeko Murata, whom he had just fished up from the depths of the Sea of ​​Quanta, he suddenly had other ideas.

"By the way, Ms. Murata Himeko, regarding the future plans I mentioned to you before, I now have a new idea..."

Himeko paused upon hearing this, but remained silent, her face showing an expression of attentive listening.

Seeing this, Zhong Heng continued, "You're also joining the Star Train, but you're not traveling with Mr. Walter and your counterpart."

"Instead, it's heading in a new direction, towards a future that even I don't fully understand."

"However, along this road, you might see your students again in the future."

"So... what will you choose, Himeko Murata?"

......

(2025 is over!~)

(Happy New Year everyone!~)
