Chapter 2621 / Chapter 2622 ...
"Even the Aeon of Destruction was willing to offer Miraculous Item. How do you compare to the Aeon of Destruction? So there's no need to worry," Guiji said after a pause.
As for what Miraculous Items you might obtain... that's hard to say.
Guiji witnessed Chen Li about to bestow the Miraculous Item upon Nanook, but he didn't intend to continue telling Old Audi what happened Guiji.
What if it dampens the other party's enthusiasm?
What if the opponent finds out that winning the Holy Grail War and obtaining the Miraculous Item means they're about to be plunged into an Abyss of eternal damnation?
Guiji alone cannot defeat so many Servants; he also needs the allies Old Audi and the Propagation Aeon.
"Even the Aeon of Destruction can obtain Miraculous Item? That sounds... wonderful." Old Audi nodded slightly upon hearing this.
... Yeah, right!
That sounds like something to be very wary of.
However, no matter how wary Old Audi was, the Holy Grail War was still going to happen.
Winning the Holy Grail War grants you Miraculous Item, but you may die.
But losing the Holy Grail War, watching all your wealth go to pay off debts, or even accumulating debts that leave you with no hope of recovery... that's worse than death.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take down the Immortal Aeon together, since we're both quite wary of him." Guiji took the lead in bringing the topic back on track, his tone regaining its coldness.
Chapter 2621
"Of course. But more than that, I'm curious... how did you survive that peacock-like the Lady?" Old Audi turned to look at Guiji and asked with some curiosity.
"It was just a small deal. And remember, when dealing with the Immortal Aeon, never underestimate him." Guiji's tone held a hint of regret, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further, before changing the subject.
"The opponent only has one Aeon, but we have two. The advantage is on our side." Old Audi confidently held up two fingers.
One was naturally the Propagation Aeon of the Old Audi, and the other was naturally the newly ascended god, Guiji.
"Easier said than done. I alone might not be able to defeat that ancient Aeon, and your Servants are hiding inside the Holy Grail." Guiji sneered, then continued.
"You know that although I am the Master of the Propagation Aeon, my status is not that high." Old Audi spread his hands helplessly.
"In my opinion, the one we need to fear least from the Immortal Aeon is the Propagation Aeon. After all, this Propagation Aeon became Aeon and pioneered the Path of Propagation by inheriting a part of the Path of Permanence, didn't she? Theoretically speaking, as Servant, she should have special attacks against the Immortal Aeon," Guiji analyzed.
Path is a mysterious thing. Once Path begins, it cannot be closed. Even if the Aeon who governs it falls, Path will remain open.
Therefore, even after A Kivili's fall, the Astral Express was still able to traverse interstellar space.
Unless Path itself is dismantled or destroyed.
There are currently eighteen known Aeon in the Honkai: Star Rail world. Many Aeon have indeed fallen, but only two of them have had their Path destroyed.
One is Order, swallowed up by the path of Path of Harmony. The other is Permanence.
The Path of Propagation stems from the division with the Path of Permanence.
Although theoretically, this should actually mean that the Immortal Aeon is the most severe father of the Propagation Aeon.
However, from the perspective of the replacement of the old with the new... the moment Propagation appears, Permanence inevitably leads to death.
Just like in the Type-Moon World, the moment a new type of human appears, the old type of human will inevitably perish.
"But what's the point of the Propagation Aeon hiding in the Holy Grail? Are you suggesting I go and fight the Immortal Aeon alone?" Guiji then said in a somewhat stern tone.
"You must have heard what the Miraculous Forger just said to me. I need to win two Holy Grail Wars to obtain the Holy Grail. Fortunately, our groups haven't overlapped, so before joining forces to deal with the Immortal Aeon... how about we deal with that Firefly first?" Old Audi tentatively suggested.
"Not good. I suggest you don't confront that Master who has already obtained a Miraculous Item directly. At least don't provoke him openly; just send a few locusts to harass him secretly." Guiji rejected Old Audi's suggestion without hesitation.
"Hmm... that makes sense." Old Audi stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
If the opponent is willing to forgo the Holy Grail and perish together with you, then things will get complicated.
Even if Firefly is eliminated, the only Master left with Servants in the All-People Entertainment Match is Old Audi, and Old Audi still won't be able to obtain the Holy Grail... because he'll be killed.
Old Audi would truly have a fate worse than death.
After all, what awaited Penacony was not a warm home, but the confiscation of his property by the Miraculous Forger.
When Chen Li returned to the Astral Express, the Parlor Car was already packed with people.
Chen Li glanced at the faces sitting in the carriage, greeted them, and then placed the breakfast he was carrying on the coffee table.
"Oh, everyone's here. Have you had breakfast?" Chen Li asked casually as he took some steamed buns out of his bag.
"My benefactor, you still have the mind to eat breakfast?" Feiying said, sitting on a high stool, somewhat speechless.
"Of course we have some! Would you like to try some?" Chen Li took a bite of the bun and looked at Feiying.
"Um... my benefactor, your breakfast wasn't touched by bugs, was it?" Feiying was about to nod when her outstretched hand touched the buns on the coffee table and suddenly stopped, then she withdrew it warily, looking at Chen Li suspiciously.
As Feiying spoke, she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the Astral Express.
The Astral Express now runs straight through the center of the Huishi Academy of the Huishi Academy, which is located within the Duality Paradise. Although the Swarm bred by the Propagation Aeon are mainly rampaging in New Penacony, sporadic Swarms can still be seen flying by in the distance through the portholes of the Duality Paradise.
Just seeing this scene sent a chill down Feiying's spine, and her fox ears instinctively pressed back against her.
"Don't worry," Chen Li said calmly, taking a bite of a steamed bun.
"Everyone, please have a taste." Seeing Chen Li eat it himself, Feiying breathed a sigh of relief, took a bun, and then turned to greet everyone.
"You still have the appetite for breakfast?" Yao Guang sighed and asked in a subtle tone.
Feiying paused for a moment, feeling as if she had heard this sentence before.
"Do you remember what we were discussing when we gathered here?" Yao Guang reminded him.
Hearing Yao Guang's words, Feiying paused slightly while chewing her bun, then turned her head and looked around at the faces in the carriage.
The Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon, the Immortal Aeon Divine Dragon, the Lord of the Hunt, and her Master Fu Xuan. Celenova, and her Master Robin.
In addition to Yao Guang and the people on the Astral Express, there was also Cyrene, who had already lost her Servant status.
"Oh! I remember now, we were discussing how to defeat the Propagation Aeon." Feiying clapped her hands in sudden realization, finally remembering what they had been discussing.
"It's one thing for Chen Li to be so relaxed, but how come you're so relaxed too? Aren't you most afraid of bugs?" Yao Guang sighed helplessly.
"Indeed! I'm terrified of bugs! It would be best to kill them all! Right, how do we kill the Propagation Aeon again?" Feiying nodded heavily, her tone becoming firm.
"This is the main point of our discussion. Right now, the Plagues Author is hiding inside the Holy Grail and won't come out, frantically producing troops. And the Great Holy Grail is so solid that even the Aeon cannot break it. To defeat the Propagation Aeon, we must break the Great Holy Grail, but breaking the Great Holy Grail is unlikely." Yao Guang shook his head helplessly, then addressed the crowd.
"Plagues Author" is the unique name given by the Xianzhou natives to the Propagation Aeon.
"So now it's time to brainstorm, right? Well, I have an idea." March 7th suddenly spoke, stroking his chin, his expression quite serious.
"You have a plan too?" Xing looked at March 7th with some surprise.
"Of course! Do you think we can get a super big fishhook, bait it, and fish the Propagation Aeon out of the Holy Grail?" March 7th asked, full of anticipation as he proposed his plan.
"I shouldn't have had any expectations of you." Xing covered her forehead and took a deep breath.
However, upon hearing this, Yao Guang seemed somewhat surprised as he glanced at March 7th, but his gaze only lingered for a moment before he looked away, so quickly that almost no one noticed.
Then Yao Guang turned around, looked at Fu Xuan, and asked, "Junior Sister, what brilliant plan do you have?"
"This... there isn't much information about the Propagation Aeon in the Xianzhou's Tai Bu Division. But based on my deductions, the other party probably won't come out easily." Fu Xuan said with a frown and a heavy tone.
After all, Propagation Aeon is one of the few negative examples that is repeatedly mentioned and ridiculed when people explain "how to kill Aeon".
To put it nicely, he was besieged by the Aeon, and it took the Amber King three Ambers to defeat him.
To put it bluntly... that would mean being smashed to death by Amber King's three hammer blows.
Moreover, it is said that the Propagation Aeon even tried to beg for mercy at the time, saying things like, "As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything."

Given the cowardice of the Propagation Aeon, the sturdiness of the Great Holy Grail, and its ability to continuously extract ley line magic and produce more Propagation Swarms... if Fu Xuan were the Propagation Aeon, Fu Xuan certainly wouldn't have come out.
It can ensure safety while allowing for massive troop production.
Why go out and die?
Moreover, even though Yao Guang had previously persuaded Chen Li to inform Old Audi that the Aeon of Remembrance had been stripped of his eligibility to participate in the competition, thus lowering his guard against the Propagation Aeon, there was still no sign of the other party showing up.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon slowly walked up to them.
All eyes turned to the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons, their faces filled with doubt.
"To lure out the Propagation Aeon... it's simple. Just use my divinity as bait." The Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon's voice rang out in the carriage.
"This plan is brilliant! The Propagation Aeon was born after the Path of Permanence was split. If I'm not mistaken, the Propagation Aeon is absolutely unable to resist the divinity of the Immortal Aeon. It's equivalent to... entrapment." Yao Guang paused for a moment, then clapped his hands lightly, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon with admiration.
"A cunning little fellow," the Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon said casually after glancing at Yao Guang.
The Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon didn't think Yao Guang wouldn't have thought of this method. The other party was just choosing not to say it.
After all, the Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon is a noble Aeon. How can a mortal dare to comment on such a matter? Moreover, it's about letting the other party use your most prized possession as bait, which might be seen as a provocation against Aeon.
So we can only wait for the Aeon to bring it up himself.
"This inspiration also came from Miss March 7th. I just couldn't bring myself to say it earlier, so I was carefully choosing my words." Yao Guang smiled and readily admitted this.
"Am I a genius?" March 7th asked, pointing to his nose with some surprise and a hint of pride.
"However, if I'm not mistaken, if this divinity is devoured by the Propagation Aeon... I'm afraid even using Command Spell, or even being resurrected after death, wouldn't be able to make up for it, right?" Fu Xuan looked at the Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon with a worried expression.
Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm generally cannot be given away. However, if there is an act of gifting or transferring it in the Heroic Spirit's achievements and legends, then it is an exception.
Throughout history, after the Propagation Aeon destroyed the Path of Permanence, it never returned it, leaving the Path of Permanence still in a damaged state.
The Propagation Aeon died, but the Path of Propagation remained unaffected.
Does the Noble Phantasm that Propagation Aeon possess Inherent Skills or Noble Phantasm arising from this historical record of "no return"?
"It's alright. I don't care," the Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon said nonchalantly.
The Immortal Aeon didn't care much about life and death when they were alive, and now that the Servant's body is about to disappear in an hour, it's a good time to make use of it.
It could even be said that the Immortal Aeon wasn't without other methods, but this method required the least amount of thought.
"But without the divinity of the Immortal Aeon, how can we contend with the Propagation Aeon?" Yao Guang sighed softly.
Just as everyone was worried, the door of the Parlor Car was pushed open, and a figure dressed as Sunday stood in the doorway.
A crisp white dress, pristine white earrings, and a face that always wore an impeccable smile. But the power hidden deep within those eyes was entirely different from what one would expect on Sunday.
"You are... Old Sunday?" Xing tilted her head uncertainly.
"Mr. Taiyi, you've arrived." The Robin stood up, shook his head slightly, and looked at the figure at the door, speaking respectfully.
"Perhaps I can help you." The Order Aeon Taiyi, nodded slightly, stepped into the carriage, and said in a gentle voice.
Upon hearing Taiyi's words, the Parlor Car fell silent for a moment.
In the midst of this brief silence, an unusual sound suddenly rang out.
"Rustle..."
That was the sound of a pen tip writing frantically on paper.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Nicole, the accompanying Paradise historian, sitting in the corner of the carriage. His eyes shone with a light brighter than the Aeon, and he was writing furiously at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, Nicole's lips moved slightly as he muttered to himself:
Everyone panicked, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Taiyi, the Order Aeon. They exclaimed in shock, "Taiyi, what are you going to do with the Immortal Aeon? Without the Immortal Aeon, how are we supposed to fight against the Propagation Aeon? "Taiyi pushed open the door and entered, saying to them, "It's simple, I'll defeat the Propagation Aeon!" With that, Taiyi's aura was no longer concealed, revealing itself—the authority of Aeon!
Everyone in the carriage was hard of hearing; in fact, their hearing was exceptional compared to that of ordinary people.
After a moment of silence, everyone's gaze turned to Nicole, who was still frantically writing in the corner.
"Enough. Stop writing unofficial histories." Chen Li, sitting next to Nicole, rubbed his forehead, covered the book in front of Nicole with one hand, and said expressionlessly.
"But this history is so amazing! Aeon gathered together to discuss the grand plan to Propagation Aeon! Such a scene has never appeared again since the Cosmic Plague!" Nicole, who had crammed on the history of the Collapsed Honkai: Star Rail, tried to remove Chen Li's hand from his book, his face full of resentment.
"I said you're not allowed to write it." Chen Li's hand remained motionless.
"Can I write it from a different angle? For example, from the perspective of the Propagation Aeon?"
"No."
"Okay..." Nicole reluctantly put down her pen, but the light in her eyes did not dim in the slightest.
It was obvious that she would continue writing as soon as Chen Li let go.
