Chapter 20: Myriad Celestia Trailer: 「Fables About the Stars · Part One」
[ "Let's make an exchange, shall we?"
"An exchange of memories."
"Stars dotted the sky, countless brilliant galaxies gently swirling within the deep Milky Way like a delicate blue veil. Starlight flickered, the dazzling silver radiance and fragmented Stardust complementing each other, dreamlike and mysterious."
"I dreamt of a ray of light, a crystal chalice." A gentle and charming female voice was responsible for the narration,
"The light that shone from that crystal spoke to me:"
"Listen to the parable of the Stars." ]

~Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World~
"Could it be another trick of the Memory Aeon?"
Frieren frowned slightly, but after seeing the scene in the light curtain, she quickly denied her guess.
A circle of deep blue cards appeared in the light curtain, and a hand was gently stroking the back of the cards. She recalled everyone who had appeared in the light curtain so far, and none of them had such attire.
"Frieren-sama, could it be someone from the Memory Aeon?"
Fern offered her opinion.
Since the 'Antimatter Legion' and the 'Doomsday Beast' belonged to 'Destruction,' Fern had a bold guess in her heart: perhaps the Aeons, like human lords and kings, had their own forces and territories.
"I'm not sure, let's see what she wants to say first?"
—
[ "Nameless one, fated one, coming from the end of the wasteland, adorned with the light of the Stars. Go, just follow the solar winds, you will eventually return to my embrace, just go towards the light."
"Destruction!"
Before the voice faded, the scene in the light curtain suddenly dimmed, this darkness almost obscured the sunlight, returning the whole world to night, but the next second the light suddenly appeared, but what illuminated the mountains and rivers was no longer the sun, but… Nanook's countless streams of flowing golden blood! ]

~Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World~
Stark felt his heart stop beating.
Stark was very grateful that there was still a chair supporting his buttocks, otherwise, he would have collapsed like a boiled noodle, unable to stand.
"Don't be nervous, Stark, don't keep staring at the Destruction Aeon's eyes."
Frieren's calm voice sounded in his ears.
—
[ Unlike the body of the Stellaron that appeared in the memory last time, Nanook's figure became more complete this time.
Behind his broken body was a raging flame, countless rays of light turned into golden dust flowing from his hands, his dark body was covered with flowing lava, the only thing that remained unchanged was his pair of golden eyes! ]

『Viewers of Countless World』
As if to penetrate the light curtain, these eyes were about to see through everyone in the heavens and myriad worlds.
—
[ "Towers fall, people flee, because the sun is about to set, encountering fierce destruction."
The picture dimmed again, but suddenly a ray of light, like a shooting star in the sky, illuminated everything——
"The Hunt!" ]
[ ..... ]
~Battle Through The Heaven World~
Again, the daylight suddenly dimmed, again, a rain of shooting stars. The Soul Hall Guardian, seeing this strange celestial phenomenon, was only a little slow, and was blocked by a man in a green robe.
The guardian was already terrified, and it was not until he looked up at the Aeon appearing in the light curtain that a grim smile appeared on his blood-stained mouth:
"Heh heh heh… There is always someone stronger, there is always a sky beyond the sky, Xiao Yan, you are strong today, but one day there will be someone stronger to take you in!"
The green-robed man moved his fingers slightly, and a flame ignited out of thin air under the guardian's feet, instantly burning him to ashes.
"That's not your concern."
After saying that, he looked up at the light curtain and extinguished the sparks that emerged from his fingertips.
Since the light curtain appeared out of thin air not long ago, a rumor has spread on the Dou Qi Continent. It is said that the world in the light curtain is a sky beyond the sky, a strange place that even Dou Di powerhouses cannot touch.
Even after the Destruction Aeon appeared, many sects in various places began to worship the Destruction Aeon as their ancestor, and even publicly worshiped him, causing a stir for a while.
It's just that these people… these beasts dare to burn, kill, and loot everywhere in the name of "Destruction," allowing their sect disciples to harm one side… these people all deserve to die.
And now the Aeon in the light curtain is completely different from Nanook.
He is a half-human, half-horse monster, holding a giant bow, the bowstring pulled like a full moon, countless arrows shining like shooting Stars, streaking across the sky, bringing with them the dense whistling sound that was suddenly close to the horizon.
Even separated in different planes, Xiao Yan could feel that those were arrows enough to shoot down countless Stars.
"There is always someone stronger, there is always a sky beyond the sky…"
Xiao Yan found it very interesting to repeat the Soul Hall Guardian's last words.
Will the Aeon who governs the Hunt be the "sky" in his mouth?
[ "You must follow the tracks, worship the direction of the storm——"
"Erudition!"
Countless geniuses who appeared in the Herta Space Station slowly emerged in the black curtain, but as the figures of the geniuses gradually dissipated, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind them, its outline was vague, the only thing clear was the red light in its eyes.
"Celestial bodies guard secrets, calculations connect the roots of all things. But it is silent, like the mist in the center of the universe; listen to the silence, you will know where the Stars rest." ]
[ ..... ]
~Runeterra World~
"Quick, Viktor! Wake up! The Star God of the Erudition's main body has appeared!"
Jayce slapped his cheeks hard with cold water, and after the cold touch confirmed that he was not dreaming, he began to desperately shake Viktor, who was still experimenting all night yesterday.
The latter rubbed his eyes tiredly, but was instantly shocked by the true body of the Lord of the Erudition and completely woke up.
Mysterious, majestic, cold… these are the words that Jayce could think of in an instant.
The light in its eyes is like a dark and deep, suffocating lake bottom, the depth of Erudition is enough to drown every life that seeks the truth… In an instant, Jayce seemed to have an epiphany, and the fanaticism in his eyes instantly extinguished most of it.
Viktor, on the other hand, admired the cold god in the light curtain with fascination, and his eyes seemed to have a certain determination.
—
[ "In an instant, the scene in the light curtain changed again, this time it was——"
"The Abundance!"
"Let the traveler's staff strike the earth, they say, once, twice. Tiny shoots will grow into towering trees, and nectar will fall from the branches, driving away pain and harm for you." ]

~Genshin Impact World~
~Teyvat Continent, Sumeru Akademiya~
Cyno actually briefly forgot the ultra-rare card back of the Genius Invokation TCG in his hand, and was attracted by the wonderful scene in the light curtain.
This was the first time he had this feeling—his heart was beating wildly like a drum, but his thoughts were as calm as the water surface in early spring.
When he looked at that slender, thin, enchanting but strangely divine god, it was as if a gentle aura penetrated from his limbs, comforting and nourishing the disorder in his body.
But when he came back to his senses and carefully experienced it, the aura suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.
The exuberant vitality seemed to break through the light curtain, everything seemed to tell Cyno that He was a good god, but His six outstretched arms showed a demonism completely different from divinity.
Perfectly neutralized but contradictory everywhere—this was Cyno's first thought after seeing the Abundance.
