After clearing out most of the gods, Kiana let her companions show off their power before sending them back to the Star Rail world.
After seeing how ridiculous Kiana's group was, the eyes of the main gods of all pantheons instantly became much clearer.
They swore that from now on, they would act as guardians for humanity and absolutely ensure the survival of humans in this world!
"It's finally over. Let's head back, Mei, Bronya."
"Aren't you going to strengthen this world a bit?"
"No. Every world has its own rules of operation. Even beings like us shouldn't interfere with the natural laws of every world. Let nature take its course~"
Kiana shrugged, her tone light as she casually tore open an Imaginary Gate connecting to the second Star Rail universe.
The gifts (energy aftershocks) left behind by Kiana and the others in this Record of Ragnarok world were already enough for the world to ascend on its own. As for how far it could go, that remained to be seen.
The three of them passed through the gate and returned to the Luofu in the second Star Rail universe. A few days had passed; Stelle and the others should have resolved the Stellaron issue by now.
Kiana's trio stepped out of the Imaginary Gate and looked around.
"Kiana, isn't this the Scalegorge Waterscape of the Luofu? Why come here?"
"I didn't use precise coordinates, just opened a random gate leading to the Luofu..."
Kiana scratched her head and was about to open another gate back to the Astral Express when several familiar auras erupted from the nearby Dragonshower Pavilion.
"Eh? Why is everyone from the Astral Express Crew there?"
With a look of confusion, Kiana opened an Imaginary Gate leading there and stepped through with the other two.
When they stepped out from the other side of the gate, they saw a chaotic battle scene.
Or rather, everyone from the crew except for Mr. Yang was in the middle of a fight. Looking at his expression, he didn't seem worried about his kids getting into trouble?
And...
"Welt, you've used the power of the spirit crystal...?"
Kiana's eyes widened as she looked at Mr. Yang, whose facial features had become somewhat softer, her voice full of shock.
She originally thought Mr. Yang wouldn't use the Spirit's power and that his progress would be much slower than Dan Heng's.
But now it seemed the reason for Mr. Yang's accelerated change was definitely due to using the Spirit's power. He likely encountered some minor accident while dealing with the Stellaron.
Although Mr. Yang's appearance had softened significantly, his gaze remained as firm and reliable as ever—the look of a seasoned senior.
It seemed this slight change didn't affect Mr. Yang at all. Seeing this, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief.
If Mr. Yang really couldn't accept it, Kiana would change him back immediately as long as he spoke up.
Now it seemed Mr. Yang didn't seem to mind becoming a girl.
As expected of the First Herrscher, the Sovereign of Anti-Entropy, Yang-up-and-down!
"Yes, I had to use a bit out of necessity."
Hearing this, Mr. Yang looked over and nodded slightly. He then pushed up his glasses and spoke in a steady, powerful voice:
"During the few days you were gone, the Astral Express Crew and the Luofu successfully resealed the Stellaron. Now, Order on the Luofu is gradually returning to normal."
"Congratulations. Did Jing Yuan give you the Jade Sign of Alliance afterward?"
Kiana nodded slightly and asked Welt after a moment of thought.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He wondered how she knew the details so well despite being away.
"That old fellow Jing Yuan is the craftiest of them all—in a way, even craftier than Taiyin. This is because he sees the potential of the Astral Express. Plus, since the path of the Express and the Xianzhou are basically the same, he took this opportunity to show his goodwill."
Kiana smiled slightly as she explained the reasoning to Mr. Yang.
Hearing this, Mr. Yang glanced thoughtfully at Jing Yuan, who still wore a faint smile amidst the chaotic battle in front of the High Elder's statue.
No wonder the massive Xianzhou still chose to join forces with the Astral Express Crew to handle the Stellaron even after the threat of the Lord Ravager was gone...
So they had their eyes on them from the start. As expected of the Divine Foresight of the Xianzhou Alliance.
"Speaking of which, the Jade Sign of Alliance from this world's Xianzhou should also be applicable to our universe. Wangshu is now a solid backer for our Astral Express Crew too~"
"Hehehe, then the path ahead for the Astral Express Crew truly will be smooth sailing."
Looking at Kiana as she gave a playful wink, Mr. Yang shook his head and gave a faint smile.
With such a massive backer, it was unlikely that any future crises on the Astral Express's journey would threaten the lives of the crew members.
But under the protection of such massive wings, would little March and Stelle really have the chance to grow into Trailblazers who can stand on their own?
Well...
This wasn't something the current Mr. Yang should be worrying about. If the world was always shrouded in beauty, perhaps this growth wasn't necessary after all.
Mr. Yang believed that under Kiana's management, although darkness would still breed in the world, the vast majority of it would be filled with hope and beauty.
"So, what are they doing now? Why did they suddenly start fighting?"
Kiana looked toward the chaotic battle at the dragon lady Bailu, who looked panicked and kept shouting to the fighting crowd,'Stop fighting, please stop fighting!'
"Stop fighting! You can't kill anyone by fighting like this!"
After Bailu shouted this, she immediately covered her mouth with both hands, her cute big eyes darting around.
She didn't know why; she originally just wanted them to stop, but this sentence suddenly popped into her head, and she blurted it out without thinking...
On the other side, a hint of amusement appeared in Kiana's eyes, making the three people beside her feel a wave of helplessness.
Mr. Yang sighed. It seemed this Kiana, who hadn't experienced many ups and downs, wasn't as mature and steady as the Kiana from their world.
"Is this how the clearance of consciousness is supposed to be used? If the Herrscher of Sentience saw this..."
Well, the Herrscher of Sentience would probably take it even further...
Mr. Yang thought with a face full of black lines.
Over by Bailu, her words caused everyone to pause their movements and look together at the cute Dragon Lady.
The many gazes made Bailu wish she could find a hole to crawl into. But since there was clearly no good place to hide, she could only lower her head like an ostrich.
"Imbibitor Lunae...!"
Blade was the first to react. He raised his sword again and charged at Dan Heng, a crimson light flashing in his eyes as he shouted somewhat crazily:
"Don't think I won't recognize you just because you've turned into this!"
"..."
Having explained it many times, Dan Heng was too tired to argue anymore. He sighed and began to use his true power.
A cyan light enveloped Dan Heng, briefly knocking Blade back.
After Blade stabilized himself, he stared excitedly at the transformed Dan Heng.
"This power, this form! And you still say you're not Imbibitor Lunae! You still say you're not Dan Feng!"
Dan Heng had transformed into a mature older sister with dragon horns on her forehead. A hint of worry hung on her cool and indifferent face, and her gaze toward Blade was very complex.
Dan Heng floated in the air, her two long, fair legs lightly crossed. The mist surrounding her made her look like a celestial maiden from the highest heavens.
"Honestly, if I didn't know Dan Heng used to be a man, my heart would have skipped a beat."
Stelle rested the fully deployed obliteration on her shoulder while her Baseball Bat propped against the ground, looking at Dan Heng with a serious expression.
Moreover, with Dan Heng's unconscious movements, Stelle felt... how was she even more feminine than her...?
