Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

[Ring: I don't want to listen anymore. This symphony is like brainwashing me.]

[Exactly, I thought it was just that I couldn't appreciate it.]

Step down the steps and onto the red carpet that extends from the center of the stage.

"This is the seventh day."

The tone rose syllable by syllable: "Then cheers and chants rose in unison—"

Countless voices sang in harmony.

"Supreme merit!"

"Universal harmony!"

"Honor the God of Virtue!"

However, when the three stars reached the second half of the song, they sang together.

"Order is dead!" *N

As I stepped onto the stage, the cheers behind me immediately vanished.

March 7th pointed ahead: "Look! He's right there!"

On Sunday, he glanced sideways at the group, then turned around to face them directly.

"That concludes all matters concerning order. What are your thoughts?"

Xing and March 7 exchanged a glance but did not reply.

Sunday continued, "However, this is ultimately just an insignificant episode in the history of the galaxy, and it's not important. What's important is where this long river will flow in the future..."

"You've all arrived at just the right time. The Harmonious Music Ceremony is about to begin, and it would be a great pity if the prelude to Harmony (order) were not with you all present."

[March 7th: What does this mean? Is he trying to distort the definition of harmony?]

[Lucy: What a grand scene! If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was a movie.]

Praise be to God!

Kiana: Mei-chan, why do I see Aunt Himeko? And what is this thing? It seems like it's about to grow a brain.

Himeko: Who are you? Do we know each other?

[Huang Quan: ...Mei-chan!?]

Kiana: I didn't run into a ghost, did I, Mei?! Mei! It seems like I'm the only one who can see it?

[Walter: ...Kiana?]

Kiana: Welt-sensei! Phew, finally someone I know. Teacher, what's this?

[Walter: I've added you, Kiana. DM me.]

Himeko: ...Why are you calling me auntie? Am I really that old?

On Sunday, he spread his hands, looking incredibly confident.

"Please allow me to once again extend a welcome to everyone—welcome to the Pinocchio Grand Theatre—the heart of dreams, the core of the stars, the absolute stage for the grandest celebration of music..."

His sharp gaze swept over the three men: "Indeed... we've decided that Pinocchio will be the battleground for our future showdown."

With an indomitable spirit, Xing stood with her hands on her hips and looked back.

"Where is the star core? I can't see it."

Sunday turned his head slightly to indicate: "It's right behind the curtain, or you could think of it as the theater itself."

With his left hand on his chest, he said, “However, in order to see it, you must also show me a belief commensurate with the power of the Star Core.”

"Only by holding firm to our beliefs can we bring true well-being to this world."

Himeko stepped forward and retorted: "Please allow me to point out that falling into a permanent sleep is by no means equivalent to happiness, especially when people are at the mercy of others while they are asleep."

Sunday: "Ms. Himeko, even now, do you still believe that Order only wants to turn the entire universe into its puppet?"

Himeko: "No matter how perfect your paradise may be, a cage is still a cage."

March 7th opened her eyes wide and said seriously, "In that kind of world, people can never obtain true happiness! They are just toys of the star gods!"

I close my eyes and sigh; no one can understand me.

When he opened his eyes again, his tone had turned cold.

"It seems you have all misunderstood my intentions. I hereby formally declare: my ideal is neither to resurrect the Star God, nor to ascend to godhood—"

He turned his back to the group.

"There is only one thing I want to do, and that is to create a paradise that belongs only to us humans, where there are no star gods, only order, and that can embrace the dignity and happiness of all people."

[Ring: He wants to build an ideal world!]

[Sunday's aim wasn't to restore the old order, but to rewrite it and establish his ideal paradise of order; he genuinely sought the well-being of the weak.]

[Yes, and besides, what gives your train crew the right to refute our claims? You're not a fish, how can you know what the fish are doing!]

[Is this a joke? I'm perfectly happy, why should I be forced to dream on a Sunday?]

Wendy: It's hard to say, they all seem to make sense. But I still support the train; the world isn't always Sunday, and there's no way to keep Paradise stable.

You're not ordinary people; it's easy to say, but you don't know how much we crave true fairness.

"Actually, I'm fine with this. I feel at ease using things I create myself, but I always feel it's so fake in other people's dreams."

Kiana: Why choose? As an adult, why not have both? I can enter a dream when I want, and stay in reality when I want.

[Himeko: Sigh, that's impossible. Once the power of order and the star core is activated, you can't just wake up whenever you want.]

Ultimately, it's because Sunday isn't strong enough to guarantee anything, plus there's the issue of enforcement. But who doesn't like his idea of ​​an orderly paradise?

[Star: Rules are meant to be broken, and innovation requires relentless progress and never-ending exploration!]

Success and fame will be judged by posterity!

[Firefly: I sensed a deeply hidden power in Pinocchio; there must be a deeper crisis behind it. People cannot remain asleep.]

[Have you noticed any signs of harmony and reproduction?]

Himeko: "You're wrong. If people are to live with dignity, then no one or nothing should ever be above them."

"And in what you call paradise, that person is you."

After listening to Ms. Himeko's words, Sunday realized that he couldn't convince her with words alone.

"It seems we can't convince each other no matter what. Fate has destined us to fight each other. Since things have come to this, let's use our respective destinies to show the universe a righteous path."

"However, before the prelude officially begins, I would appreciate it if you could take some more time to consider the question I have raised—"

On Sunday, facing the curtain, the light shining on me made me look especially sacred.

"Are the day and night equal?"

“Are the righteous and the sinners equal?”

"If a man is born weak—"

On Sunday, his hawk-like eyes locked onto the three people in profile, intimidating them.

"From which god can the weak find peace?" (Ang Gao)

He suddenly turned around, spread his arms, and ascended into the air, retreating behind the curtain.

Three puppets, each holding a wine glass, a baton, and a flute, descended from the dome and stood in front of the screen.

Their names are—Former, Present, Forever.

Chapter 102 "The Choir Resounds" - A Sunday!

March 7th: In the end, we still have to fight.

[Hu Tao: Himeko-neechan isn't wrong, isn't Sunday above Paradise?]

Nicole: If Sunday's mindset changes one day, wouldn't Paradise start following his rules too?

If Zhou Tian succeeds, he'll become a Star God, which means we'll be directly under his jurisdiction—isn't that great?

[Please look closely, the Zhou emperor clearly wanted to embody the true order, like the Daoist figures in novels, not to become a god!]

[Zhongli: The Godless Kingdom of Kanria!]

[Fufu: Sunday was actually quite pessimistic; everything was viewed from the worst-case scenario perspective, and everything was done from the perspective of the weak.]

[Qingyi: If that's the case, Pinocchio isn't suitable as a paradise of order; the forces connected to it are too many to allow it to succeed.]

Even if it's not what everyone wants, it's the inevitable trend; Sunday's outcome won't be successful, at least not in Pinocchio.

In the past: "Alas! The star god of great power..."

At this moment: "You define order for all people and the world—"

The day after tomorrow: "—but it made us realize that we were nothing more than your puppets!"

After the puppet finished speaking, it charged at the three of them.

Add a shield on March 7th!

Himeko got the MVP!

After a fierce battle, the puppet unleashed its ultimate attack.

The sheet music flowed through the air, pink liquid in the wine glass cascaded down from the sky like a waterfall, and a puppet holding a flute flew towards the three of them.

Then and now: "Universal harmony, a constellation of stars shining together!"

After another long and intense battle, the puppet was defeated with the combined efforts of everyone.

The lights were dim, and the lifeless puppets seemed to be suddenly pulled up like marionettes.

March 7th was so frightened that he took a step back, while Himeko and Hoshi stared wide-eyed.

A voice came from behind the scenes, embodying Sunday as one with all living beings.

"I already know your decision."

"Now, I grant you the right to look directly at the sun."

The curtain on the main stage slowly opened, and the lights expanded through the gaps to illuminate the feet of the three people.

The puppets suspended by silken threads in the air of the grand theater were pulled backstage.

A giant, golden mechanical hand held a baton and waved it.

"On these 107,336 rocks, the chords of the almighty and powerful harmony are used by me—"

Those puppets, along with their past, present, and future, burned and turned into golden dust under the sun-like light, dissipating and merging into one.

Xing stared wide-eyed and slightly opened her mouth below.

Holding the hat in his hand, he took a step back with his right leg, lowered his body, and became alert to what was ahead.

The three people's clothes fluttered in the wind.

"—The universally acclaimed tuner."

"Chorus, Dominicus!"

Under the dazzling light, a giant-like figure rose from below the theater, opening its arms to welcome new life!

The background music transformed into the chants of countless people.

"Qi Xiang Choir" Sunday!

As the baton was waved from left to right with his right hand, four summoned creatures radiating holy light stood in a row in front of him.

Like a puppet being directed.

[March 7th: Wow! Why are the bosses always so big?!]

[Bluebird: Isn't Dominix the embodiment of harmony? What are they planning to do on Sunday!]

[How can we fight this? It looks incredibly powerful. Thank goodness for the Star Train.]

Kiana: Wow, so cool! This aura is way stronger than a Honkai Beast. If I could control it, I'd be invincible. It's a pity Mei can't see it.

[Neko: Meow! Billy, don't move! You scared me to death! I'll scratch your face raw!]
