Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 People Begin to Get to Know Each Other

Martch 7th: "As expected, I'm still very curious about what your worlds are like. It might be a bit presumptuous, but could you tell us about them?"

New Eridu - Suzuran: "There's nothing we can't talk about, and it's not presumptuous at all."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Our world experienced a disaster called the Hollow. Many places were swallowed by the Hollow, and the space within the Hollow is chaotic and ever-changing."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Not only that, but there's also a strong Aether energy inside the Hollow. People or machines will be corrupted into Eidolons, which are monsters."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Apocalyptic movies usually have saviors, and ours is no exception."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "The original seven Hollow Hunters protected humanity's last remaining land, and even began leading us in counterattacks, reclaiming much territory."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Twelve years ago, Eridu experienced a very powerful Hollow outbreak, so New Eridu was established. My brother and I want to investigate why the Hollow outbreak occurred back then."

Martch 7th: "Ah! So you're from an apocalyptic setting?"

Astral Express - Stelle: "I get it! It must be those pesky Stellaron. Just you wait, I'll take our Astral Express crew to deal with it later. We have a lot of experience."

Martch 7th: "I said it's another world, another world! How could it still be a Stellaron problem? By the way, the word 'Aether' sounds familiar. I think I've heard it somewhere."

Astral Express - Stelle: "Of course you have! When we visited Herta's Curio Collection Room, wasn't there an Aether Cassette? Though I've forgotten what it's for."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Eh! Do you also have Aether energy over there? Could it be that you also experienced a Hollow disaster?"

While everyone was a bit confused, Dan Heng, who had quickly finished reading the information, offered his opinion.

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "It shouldn't be the same kind of energy. The Aether here is a hypothetical medium that shouldn't exist in reality."

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "I've heard that the Remembrancers of the Garden of Recollection and Silver Wolf among the Stellaron Hunters both have the ability to use this energy, but it's not corrosive."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Alright, I thought it was the same thing. That way, we could also learn your methods of using Aether energy."

Astral Express - Stelle: "Dan Heng, you read that fast? I feel like I've been reading for ages and still only half understand it."

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "I usually organize the data bank, so I read a bit faster."

Dan Heng of the Astral Express turned to Stelle: "Also, we're in the same room. You can just ask me directly, no need to ask in the group."

March 7th nodded in strong agreement, "Yeah, aren't you just making extra work for yourself?"

At the same time, she was incredibly relieved that she was a beat slower, almost making herself do something so foolish.

Stelle didn't think she had a problem: "So what? Isn't this chat group meant to be used? If I have it and don't use it, then what's the point of having it?"

Teyvat - Jing Liu: "I'll talk about ours too. We're on the continent of Teyvat, with seven nations and Celestia. The rulers are the gods of each nation and the Heavenly Principles."

Teyvat - Jing Liu: "The seven nations correspond to seven elements. People with strong desires are blessed by the gods with a Vision, becoming a Genshin and able to control elemental power."

Teyvat - Jing Liu: "Currently, Paimon and I have already traveled through five nations and just arrived in Natlan, the Nation of Fire, not long ago."

Teyvat - Jing Liu: "I can't say much more than that. After all, Teyvat has a history of several thousand years; it would be endless if I started talking about it."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Jing Liu, didn't you say you wanted to add someone who was a retired Geo Archon from Liyue? Is he one of the seven gods?"

Teyvat - Jing Liu: "That's right, his name is Zhongli. After entrusting the task of governing the nation to the people of Liyue, he became a consultant at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and no longer participates in management."

Teyvat - Jing Liu: "He has lived since the Archon War, so there's almost nothing he doesn't know. Once I add him, you can chat with him."

Astral Express - Stelle: "Since you've all finished, it's naturally my turn, the main character. Come on, Dan Heng, tell them about it."

March 7th put a hand to her forehead, looking as if to say, 'Just as I expected.'

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "Our world is dominated by eighteen Aeons. Each Aeon has a corresponding Path."

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "Those who embark on a Path are called Pathstriders, and those glanced upon by an Aeon become Emanators. They all possess immense power."

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "However, several Aeons have already fallen or gone missing. We are members of the Astral Express under Akivili, the Aeon of Trailblaze."

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "Our goal is to follow in Akivili's footsteps and trailblaze unknown worlds."

On the Astral Express, March 7th: "As expected of Dan Heng, he got it done in just a few simple sentences."

Dan Heng replied: "You could do it too if you spent more time reading materials in the data bank."

Stelle let out a laugh beside him. How could she, the esteemed Galaxy Baseball Man and King of Trash Cans, go to the data bank to read materials?

She'd rather spend that time rummaging through trash cans; who knows, she might find a few more golden trash items.

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Aeons? They sound incredibly powerful, and they can grant people power just by glancing at them. Is it related to stars?"

Martch 7th: "Of course! They are the strongest existences in the universe; I know that much."

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "The power of the Aeons is unimaginable to mortals. A planet is like a small pebble by the roadside to an Aeon."

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Should I say, as expected of another world?"

Teyvat - Jing Liu: "Yes, it seems like your world, Stelle, is very powerful."

Astral Express - Stelle: "By the way, if you ever get the chance, do you want to give it a try? If you're glanced upon by an Aeon and become an Emanator, it's an instant rise to power!"

Astral Express - Stelle: "And I'll have another Emanator friend! Once my connections spread throughout the entire universe and other worlds, everyone will have to give me face."

The more Stelle thought about it, the happier she became, even laughing, despite it being a distant possibility.

It looked as if she already had new Emanator friends.

March 7th and Dan Heng next to her could only watch Stelle speechlessly. Should they say, as expected of Stelle?

New Eridu - Suzuran: "Let's talk about that later."

Martch 7th: "Don't mind her; she's always a bit off-kilter now and then."

Teyvat - Jing Liu: "It's fine. But it sounds like being 'glanced upon' by an Aeon would require a very strong potential in the first place, right?"

New Eridu - Suzuran: "So, Emanators are more like strong individuals who gain an Aeon's approval, rather than gaining power out of thin air?"

Cloud-Piercing Lance - Dan Heng: "That's right, exactly."

Teyvat - Paimon: "Oh! As expected of another world! There are always stronger people appearing."

Paimon, as expected, was someone whose learning ability was recognized by Alhaitham. Even after a playful argument with Jing Liu over her name change, she finished reading the announcement in a short time.

Martch 7th: "Paimon, why did your name change? How did you change it? I want to too."
