Chapter 5 - Star Rail vs. Teyvat – Who is Stronger? That wasteland you mention is actually our homeland!

—✦Genshin Impact World✦—

"Universe… So the world is really this vast? Heh, how laughable that we were all just frogs in a well."

Inside the Grand Master's office, Diluc, after carefully listening to the video's narration, couldn't help but show a self-deprecating expression.

Before, he always thought Teyvat was everything, but now, he only felt his previous thoughts were incredibly ridiculous.

"Beyond the stars, it's so boundless. This is truly astonishing!"

Lisa's small mouth was slightly agape, feeling her worldview had been somewhat shaken.

.. . ..

"A single leaf can obscure Mount Tai! Two beans can block the ears, making one unable to hear thunder!"

"Having lived in Teyvat for so long, I had forgotten how vast and boundless the world outside Teyvat truly is."

In Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli, after hearing the about the Star Rail world, could only sigh repeatedly.

As the most ancient and knowledgeable Rex Lapis, he naturally knew the saying, "There's always a heaven beyond the heaven."

It was just that Teyvat had been sealed for too long, so long that countless people had forgotten what lay beyond the stars.

"Consultant, you're very knowledgeable! Can you tell me if what's said in this video is true?"

Hu Tao was somewhat incredulous, so she decided to ask Zhongli whenever she was unsure.

"By universal rationality, what is said above is largely true."

Zhongli gave Hu Tao an affirmative answer.

"WOW!!!"

"Then… doesn't that mean there are many, many countless worlds outside Teyvat?! In that case… won't my Wangsheng Funeral Parlor business boom?! HAHAHA, THIS IS TRULY WONDERFUL!!"

Hu Tao's thought process was unique; she didn't know what she had thought of, and immediately burst into laughter.

"…."

"Director, I must interrupt your fantasy. Currently, no one can leave Teyvat, not even the Seven Archons!"

Zhongli finished speaking, and the laughter abruptly stopped!

.. . ..

"Universe… Aeons… This is true power! I wonder if this power can save… my sister?"

In Tenshukaku, Ei watched the video, her hands clenching involuntarily.

And on Mount Yougou, Yae Miko, at this moment, thought of another matter.

"Since the world is so big, there must be many beautiful novels out there, right?"

"I wonder how I can read these novels? It's quite vexing."

Yae Miko put a piece of fried tofu into her mouth and couldn't help but mumble.

.. . ..

"Aeon of Erudition, Nous? Wisdom, this is true wisdom!"

"If I could gain Nous's favor, then I could truly become a sun comparable to her, couldn't I?"

"Then, I would have the ability to protect the people of Sumeru!"

Nahida thought about the introduction of Nous, her eyes began to grow brighter and brighter, and her heart was filled with immense longing.

.. . ..

"Neuvillette, did you hear that? Beyond Teyvat, it's so incredibly vast!"

"Doesn't that mean we've been bickering like ants in an insignificant little world all this time?"

Furina could barely hide the shock on her face.

"Lady Furina, I must disagree with your view. Indeed, the world outside is vast, even astonishingly so."

"But this world alone is our home! Here, we have people and things we cherish! Therefore, it is absolutely not an insignificant world. At the very least, this world holds significant meaning for us!"

Although Neuvillette was also shocked by the grandeur of the Star Rail universe, he did not agree with Furina's words. He didn't know about others, but he deeply loved this land and this world.

Scaramouche: "Is this video real or fake?"

Scaramouche: "It's not made up, is it?"

Scaramouche: "Is this world truly so vast?"

Scaramouche questioned the authenticity of the video.

Boothill: "I QQ'd you, primitive man, hurry up and come out and see!"

Boothill: "As soon as you come out, you'll know if the universe is truly this vast. Don't just stay cooped up at home like a native!"

Boothill: "Disclaimer: The above words are directed only at Scaramouche! If anyone else feels offended, I apologize in advance!"

Boothill never missed an opportunity to provoke Scaramouche.

Scaramouche: "YOU!!"

Scaramouche: "Very well, you've successfully angered me. When I ascend to godhood, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Scaramouche was furious, planning to find a way to leave Teyvat after ascending to godhood, then find this guy named Boothill, and grind him to dust!

Boothill: "Ascend… what?!"

Boothill: "God… what?!"

Boothill: "I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?"

Boothill: "He's got to be kidding, you ascend to godhood? Hahaha, you've really made me laugh!"

In a certain galaxy, Boothill, who was on his way, seemed to hear some huge joke and immediately burst into laughter.

Boothill: "If you can ascend to godhood, then I think even dogs can!"

Boothill stopped laughing and casually sent another message.

....

Herta Space Station—

"Even dogs can ascend to godhood? Peppy, can you become a god?"

Asta saw this sentence, and subconsciously asked Peppy in her arms.

"Woof??"

Peppy was confused, not knowing what his owner was talking about.

—✦Genshin Impact World✦—

On the continent of Teyvat—

"Uh… according to what he said. Traveler, are we even worse than dogs?"

Paimon's face was conflicted, and she couldn't help but look at Lumine.

Others might not know, but they knew that Scaramouche was indeed ascending to godhood right now, and there was a high possibility of success.

"The god he's talking about and the god Scaramouche is talking about are two different things, right?"

"He's probably talking about an Aeon, while the god Scaramouche refers to is just a god in our world. From that perspective, I think he's right. If Scaramouche can become an Aeon, then Taroumaru can too!"

Lumine explained a few things to Paimon and shared her opinion.

"I agree with that. Taroumaru is much cuter than Scaramouche and more polite."

Paimon nodded in agreement.

After the video's was finished, there was a brief few minutes of rest time, allowing everyone to digest the information. During this process, some Barrages comments gradually began to float by.

—✦Omniscient live Barrages✦—

[ Thanks to the CC for the explanation, now I can understand the story without playing the game. Very beneficial for a lore enthusiast like me. ]

[ Thanks for asking, I'm a casual player. I just want to know, compared to Teyvat, which one is more powerful, Star Rail or Teyvat? ]

[ Here it comes! The classic power comparison segment! I knew this would happen! ]

[ Does that even need asking? It's definitely Star Rail! ]

[ What level is Teyvat, daring to compare itself to Star Rail? ]

[ Teyvat, calling it a small planet is a bit of a stretch, so don't even compare it to Star Rail. ]

[ Leaving aside everything else, some powerful Pathstriders could probably just obliterate Teyvat. ]

March 7th: "Where are these Barrages comments from? They don't seem to be ours."

Stelle: "I always feel their tone is strange, a bit like people from other worlds."

Sampo: "I say, sis, how could there really be another world?"

Herta: "You never know!"

Herta: "I just asked It."

Herta: "And guess what?"

Herta's comment suddenly appeared, and as soon as it did, it seemed to reveal astonishing news!

Stelle: "What happened? What exactly happened?!"

Stelle: "At a time like this, don't keep us in suspense!"

Everyone: "Exactly, don't keep us in suspense!"

Herta: "It answered me for once, and stated that the power of this livestream does not belong to this universe!"

March 7th: "Shocked!"

Stelle: "Shocked + 1"

Welt: "Shocked + 2"

....

Herta's words, were no less than a depth charge, immediately stirring up huge waves in everyone's hearts!

Boothill: "Oh my goodness!"

Boothill: "So there really are other universes, huh?"

Boothill knew Herta's reputation, so he naturally understood who Herta's "It" referred to.

Therefore, he did not doubt the truth of the matter.

Himeko: "So, are we actually being observed by a higher-dimensional civilization?"

Herta: "More or less. The power of this livestream is even above that of the Aeons."

Bronya: "Since this high-dimensional civilization is so powerful, why would they observe our universe?"

Sparkle: "Why else? Of course, it's for fun!"

Sparkle: "Don't high-dimensional civilizations need entertainment?"

Sparkle: "Hehe, if you ask me, this livestream is just something they specifically threw down to find entertainment."

....

—✦Honkai Star Rail World✦—

In Penacony—

Sparkle stared intently at the live stream, her pretty face even slightly flushed with a somewhat morbid color.

Just before Penacony's grand Harmonious Choir Festival, a livestream thrown down by a high-dimensional civilization suddenly popped up.

"This was simply too much fun!"

March 7th: "Entertainment? It doesn't seem impossible."

March 7th: "But speaking of which, what kind of place is this Teyvat?"

March 7th: "To be looked down upon by these high-dimensional people like this."

Boothill: "Tch, it's probably some broken, shabby, desolate wasteland, right?"

Boothill: "Such a remote corner wants to compare itself to the entire universe? It's simply ignorant of its own limitations. (Sarcasm.jpg!)"

Boothill scoffed, sent this text, and casually used an emoji he had just seen.

Lumine: "…"

Paimon: "…"

Hu Tao: "…"

Venti: "…"

Furina: "…"

Neuvillette: "…"

+99

....

As soon as Boothill's words came out, a group of people instantly exploded.

Boothill: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Boothill was a bit confused, what was wrong with these people?

Why were they sending ellipses?

Lumine: "The wasteland you speak of…"

Lumine: "Is our home…"

Boothill: "..."
