After watching Flying Light, Fu Xuan was filled with a myriad of emotions. However, now was not the time to dwell on them. Instead, she needed to address the content of the video and make necessary adjustments.
Quickly, she made a decision—
"No, this video cannot be shown to the people of Luofu!"
"The former Sword Champion of Luofu, General Jing Yuan's master, has fallen into the Mara-Struck state, turning her blade against the very Xianzhou she once protected—such a thing must never be made public. It would severely damage the reputation of our Luofu and greatly diminish the trust in the Cloud Knights and General Jing Yuan!"
As she spoke, Fu Xuan wanted to contact the relevant department responsible for the Jade Abacus, but she noticed that the real-time viewer count in the top left corner had already reached tens of thousands.
The live comments were pouring in relentlessly.
"It's too late…"
...
[Chat]
"Wuwuwu, the Mara-Struck is truly heartless!"
"Damn you, Reviving Calamity! Must you revel in the sight of brothers turning against each other, masters and disciples becoming enemies, and the once-great heroes losing their minds… before you are satisfied?"
"General Jing Yuan in his youth… he really was so young!"
"Jingliu was so dashing before falling into the Mara-Struck State! What a pity, such a great hero…"
"Master Yu Ling, I beg you! Please make Jing Yuan's final move, when he summons the Divine Lord, into an ultimate skill!"
"Same here!"
"Release General Jing Yuan into the gacha pool tomorrow! Don't make me kneel and beg you!"
...
Seeing Fu Xuan so distressed, Qingque tried to comfort her: "Master Diviner, don't worry. This is just the beginning, merely an appetizer!"
"There's definitely going to be even bigger revelations later!"
"When our Luofu's storyline begins, it's going to be even more shocking…"
Fu Xuan held her head with one hand: "Alright, Qingque, please stop…"
"This matter… this matter needs to be reported to the General immediately."
"Yes, yes! Report it to General Jing Yuan and let him handle it!"
Qingque nodded vigorously like a pecking chick.
"Then, Master Diviner, I shall take my leave and return to my duties."
"Wait, Qingque!"
"Since you've been observing this game's content for several days now, I order you to continue monitoring it!"
"If any extreme opinions arise among the player base, report them to me at once."
Qingque, who had already been sneaking one foot out the door of the Divination Commission was assigned this task.
She replied weakly: "Yes, Master Diviner…"
However, upon second thought.
The Master Diviner hadn't assigned her any other tasks.
This was basically getting paid to play games!
Wasn't that much more comfortable than other jobs?
From now on, she could play openly and without guilt!
Thinking this, Qingque's spirits lifted.
A faint blush of excitement even appeared on her cheeks.
After Qingque left.
Fu Xuan began scouring the internet for more information about Honkai: Star Rail.
The more she looked, the more astonished she became!
Although there was no information about the developers, the players' evaluations of the game were enough to reveal the tip of the iceberg.
"This… this…"
"If our Luofu's storyline really comes to pass, what then?"
"Even the Matrix of Prescience Ultima can only glimpse the past and future, roughly calculating future possibilities or revealing a fragment of what's to come."
"But this game… it actually presents future experiences through narrative storytelling?"
"Truly… unbelievable!"
When Qingque had first mentioned it, she had found it absurd and laughable.
But now, with facts laid out before her, she had no choice but to believe.
She compiled these findings into a concise report.
And swiftly submitted it to the Divine Foresight's Office.
While waiting for a response, Fu Xuan paced back and forth in the Astrology Department, unusually restless.
"What will the General decide?"
"Will he believe this bizarre game?"
"If he doesn't, how can I convince him in the most efficient way?"
As she pondered these questions.
Fu Xuan suddenly paused.
She took out her Jade Abacus.
And began searching for Honkai: Star Rail in the app store!
Since divination couldn't reveal any relevant information, she would have to experience the game herself.
At that moment.
On the projection sand table, Jing Yuan's figure appeared, exuding a lazy aura.
"General!"
Fu Xuan immediately asked anxiously: "Have you read the report I sent you?"
"About this game…"
Jing Yuan, unhurried, raised a hand to interrupt Fu Xuan.
"I haven't read it."
"You…"
Fu Xuan was stunned, about to emphasize the importance of the game, but Jing Yuan said: "No need to panic, Fu Xuan."
"I've already been keeping an eye on this game."
"What!?" Fu Xuan was shocked.
"There's a streamer on our Xianzhou Luofu named Xiao Guizi. She started streaming the storyline of Honkai: Star Rail a day ago."
"And I happened to come across her stream at that time, so I've already witnessed the entire game's storyline firsthand."
Fu Xuan took a few seconds to process this information.
"I see, as expected of the General."
Jing Yuan smiled: "So, there's no need to rush. Our Divine Foresight's Office won't fall behind in intelligence."
"For now, we just need to follow Xiao Guizi's perspective and keep watching."
Fu Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, she could relax and sit back in her seat.
But she quickly stood up again and said: "In that case, I should log into my account as well."
"We should actively guide the discussion in the stream, posing as regular viewers to prevent the comments from steering in a direction unfavorable to our Luofu."
"No problem."
Jing Yuan agreed readily.
In fact, he had already been posting quite a few comments in the stream.
"This is my account, add me on your end."
Soon, the two had added each other as friends.
Jing Yuan smirked: "Fu Xuan, your username is quite something."
[Heartless Divination Machine] replied: "Yours isn't bad either."
[Real Name Online]: "Alright, let's head to the stream together."
