Chapter 146 What if it were the villain?
Merge World - Star Core Hunter Outpost
The room that belongs to the stars
"Whoosh~" Xing walked out of the portal and, without saying a word, ran all the way to Silver Wolf's live stream room.
"Silver Wolf Auntie~" Xing's voice almost lifted the ceiling.
"..." Silver Wolf looked over, speechless, as he took off his headphones.
"Here, this is a new fan-made USB drive!" Xing said with a grin, pulling out a new USB drive.
"The previous one hasn't been put in yet," Silver Wolf said, taking the USB drive.
"Put this in, and we'll put the previous USB drive in next time," Xing said with a smile.
"Hmm~ Okay, what kind of fan fiction is this new one?" Silver Wolf asked after thinking for a moment.
"The Genshin Impact game related to the Teyvat system, um, related to the game's protagonist," Xing said.
"Is it related to the protagonist?" Silver Wolf thought for a moment, then started operating and opened the live stream room, directly writing the title "Fan Creation Video about the Protagonist of Genshin Impact".
“Okay, let’s wait a few minutes and then we’ll begin!” Xing said with a smile.
…………
The start of the live stream attracted the attention of all relevant forces and star gods in the universe, especially since this was a fan-made game related to the Teyvat Sector, which kept the gifts in the live stream coming in non-stop.
[Zhongli: A fan-made work about travelers? Interesting.]
[Ying: I suddenly have a bad feeling, I'm going to find Xing]
[Paimon: Ying, take me with you!]
[Hanabi: Oh my~ As expected of the Envoy of Pleasure~ You've already generated so much anticipation among our companions in the Teyvat Sector before it even begins~]
[Alicia: Captain~ How come we share the same voice actress for Ying~ Is there anything about me~?]
[Star: Of course, but I'll post it in a few days.]
Alicia: Why~?
[Star: Hehe~!]
[Alicia: Well~ the cute girl is coming to find you~?]
[Star: Alicia, although I love everything about you, but~]
[Star: No one can find me when I refuse to see anyone, including Alicia.]
【Alicia: Captain~~】
[Star: ...No!]
[Firelight: Hmm~ Traveler, aren't you being a little too cruel?]
[Star: No, I'll send Eden some things that Alicia likes later. As for the video that belongs to Alicia... let's wait a few days.]
The live stream started playing a video, and at the very beginning, a woman's voice said—"Join the Traveler and become the villain."
[Ying: Huh? This is the fan-made content related to me?]
[Empty: Judging from the situation, isn't the Abyss Prince/Princess already the villain?]
[Star: You'll find out soon enough!]
[Zhong Li: What if the traveler was the villain?]
"If the traveler is the villain, no one will notice the person who turns their sword against the local gods..."
The scene then shifts to a battle between the Traveler Ying and the Raiden General.
"She's just an outsider; no one knows her background except for the original Heavenly Principle..."
The scene transition is part of the opening cinematic animation where the twin siblings fight against the Ruler of Justice as they leave Teyvat.
[Player: The Traveler is the villain... Does that mean we players are being referred to?]
[Player 2: It doesn't seem like it, but I can't quite put my finger on it]
Player 3: Who cares? We said from the beginning it was a hypothetical scenario, didn't we?
"Their terrifying power once destroyed countless worlds."
[Ying: Star! What do you mean we've destroyed countless worlds?!]
[Sora: Yeah! Destroying the world and all that... uh... the Abyss side actually does seem like a possibility]
[Star: Hehe~!]
[Player: So...we players are the war criminals in the game Stellaris, recently released by the young lady's company?]
[Player 2: A player from All Stars has shown up uninvited. War criminal? What war criminal? We've never lost!]
[Player 3: A player from the Miss Company using multiple accounts was killed when a player from the StarCraft universe passed by and fired a neutron beam at the building above.]
"So, before the twins set foot on Teyvat, Tenri could only barely restrain the older brother."
"That battle left them both severely wounded."
"Tenri went into seclusion to recuperate, while his younger sister disguised herself as a traveler to search for her brother's whereabouts."
[Dr. Executive Officer: Oh~ So that's why Tenri is asleep~]
[Executive Captain: Dotore, now shut up and watch me get the video. Don't let the young lady suddenly become interested in you.]
—"She appears kind and warm, but is actually cold and clear-headed."
As Ying spoke, the background changed from the initial beach to a dark scene, and the Abyss Apostles were also present behind her.
"Because she always presented a hypocritical facade, no one noticed her growing hatred for this land during her long search."
[Ying: Xing! What do you mean by me being hypocritical?!]
[Paimon: Yeah, Luminous is the best partner!]
[Kong: I can see that Xing's approach was to combine the identities of the Traveler and the Abyss Prince/Princess in the creation of this video.]
[Star: Hehe~!]
[Zhongli: Traveler, please don't become like Wendy, that drunkard.]
Wendy: Grandpa, that's going too far!
[Zhongli: Perhaps we should have another three-hour "wake-up tea" session]
"The day I find my brother will be the day this false journey comes to an end."
At the end of the scene, Sora and Hikari stand together and walk together into the Abyss Gate.
"Her former comrade-in-arms looked at her with disbelief, but her eyes were cold."
"It's as if it's telling everyone a cruel truth."
How could a traveler possibly develop any feelings for a continent?
"Isn't it?"
At the end of the scene, Ying is holding the same golden one-handed sword she used to have, and behind her are the Abyss Apostles who address her as Princess...
—The video ends here—
[Luminous: Aaaaaah! Star! Stay with Silver Wolf and don't run away!]
[Kong: Ying, don't be angry with the traveler.]
[Keqing: No matter what problems arise, it's all in vain, after all, the one chosen by the stars is Ying.]
[Star: Hehe~ Running away~~]

Star Core Hunter Outpost
"Whoosh~" The dark spatial door opened, and Ying walked out with a sullen expression. Behind her was Kong, who looked helpless yet doting and gentle.
“The star isn’t here; it ran away a long time ago,” said Firefly.
"Hmph!" Ying stomped into Xing's room, then sat down and stopped talking.

"You've really made Ying angry~" the system said.
"I'll go and coax her in a few hours. By the way, how do you coax a girl again?" Xing suddenly asked the system.
"You don't know how?" The system was taken aback.
"I was so single before I transmigrated that I was practically a great magician. How would I know how to coax a girl not to be angry?" Xing replied.
"...I'll go look for it." The system indicated that it didn't understand human thinking and could only go find something readily available.
