Festival of Lights · Diwali
Lin Shuang and Acheron survived a Stellaron-stricken world, grew closer, and used the Stellaron to power Lin Shuang’s weapon before traveling to a Xianzhou outpost. After helping Tingyun and meeting Yukong, they headed to the Luofu, where Lin Shuang wandered into a card hall and encountered Qingque.
Lin Shuang built ties with Qingque, Fu Xuan, Tingyun, Danshu, and Acheron while using new abilities and investigating Abundant Doses. The stretch ended with the Cloud Knights’ accusation against her under investigation, Firefly planning to visit, and Lin Shuang warning Tingyun about a possible Lord Ravager threat.
Lin Shuang investigated Phantylia’s connection to the Abundant Doses while drawing closer to Acheron, Fu Xuan, Danshu, Firefly, and Silver Wolf. After fulfilling a contract ceremony with Silver Wolf, Lin Shuang met the Abundant Doses’ Chief to discuss a possible bargain.
Lin Shuang helped Firefly and confronted Phantylia, using Nihility to wound the Lord Ravager and absorb much of her power. After recovering, Lin Shuang accepted Firefly’s invitation to investigate Penacony and advised Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan to handle Danshu through the law.
Lin Shuang visited Herta Space Station, helped stop the Anti-Matter Legion and assimilated the Doomsday Beast as her mount. After the crisis, Stelle joined the Star Rail Express, while Herta invited Lin Shuang to test the Simulated Universe.
Lin Shuang strengthened her connection to The Permanence, reunited with Firefly, and entered Penacony to investigate the Clockmaker’s Legacy. After Black Swan provided a mysterious Light Cone, Lin Shuang and Firefly began searching for the figure in its memories while Sparkle pursued her own interest in Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang’s dragon transformation deepened as she researched The Permanence and helped Huohuo and Tingyun during the Luofu’s crisis. After the Astral Express arrived and sealed the Stellaron, Lin Shuang used Jing Yuan’s records to learn Cloudsong Arts from the memory of Yubie sealing Jianmu.
Lin Shuang confronted Danshu’s plan to revive Jianmu, then joined forces with Acheron and the Luofu’s allies to defeat Phantylia. Jianmu was severed and stored, Danshu was buried, and Lin Shuang left the Luofu with Acheron as Jing Yuan agreed to keep Acheron’s identity secret.
Lin Shuang investigated Gallagher and Penacony’s hidden dreamscape while dealing with Sparkle, Sunday, and the Stellaron Hunters. She discovered Dreamflux Reef and the Family’s concealed use of lives to sustain the Dreamscape, leaving Firefly shaken and questioning Sunday.
Lin Shuang helped Huohuo and Sushang deal with a dangerous Heliobus, then deepened her bonds with Acheron and Gepard while negotiating with Topaz and gaining Sparkle’s disguise ability. The stretch ended with Lin Shuang accepting Himeko’s invitation to join the Astral Express and spending the night with March 7th.
Lin Shuang joined the Astral Express, recovered a hidden train with Firefly and Sparkle, and explored the Simulated Universe with Herta and Ruan Mei. As the train underwent repairs at Herta Space Station, Lin Shuang helped Ruan Mei experiment on the Swarm and created a new kind of insect, while March 7th and Stelle encountered one themselves.
