Chapter 23
The Hidden Ending of the Star Rail? A Lot to Process!

【The seasoned and responsible former leader of the Entropy Alliance, inheriting the name of [World], has saved the world from the brink of destruction multiple times.】

Looking at the game's character details for Walter, Jizhi couldn't help but smile.

She teased Old Yang beside her, "Walter, so you have all these stories hidden within you."

"You were actually a [Leader]? Saved the world multiple times… Why haven't I ever heard of these fantastical experiences?"

Old Yang looked a bit uncomfortable.

On one hand, his past was suddenly exposed, leaving him feeling a bit lost.

On the other hand, he was suspicious of the game.

He had never spoken about these experiences to anyone!

Even his friends on the train had never been told.

Yet, the game's developer seemed to know his past intimately!

Thinking about who in the vast universe would know so much about him and the train crew, he could only think of one person!

The blond man who had left the train early!

"If it were him, he might actually have the ability to create a game like this…"

But Old Yang felt something was off.

This unease stemmed from an instinctive understanding.

In simple terms,

The art style was wrong!

If that person had developed a game, the art style definitely wouldn't be like this!

"Then, who else could it be…"

"Forget it, let's keep moving the story forward and see what information this game reveals."

Thinking this, Old Yang decided to change the topic.

He couldn't let Jizhi focus all her attention on him.

He said, "In the previous scene, it was Star who was glanced at by Nanook, the Star God who destroyed the planet, right?"

"That's right, it seems so based on what we've seen, and it's consistent with our earlier speculation."

"That child has many special qualities."

"Yeah, I'm currently playing as her, making a choice to either board the train or not."

Jizhi lifted her phone and gave it a shake.

She smiled and said, "I'm curious, what would have happened if she had chosen to stay on the space station instead of boarding the train?"

"Reality can't be changed, but in this game, maybe there's a chance to see another ending."

Upon hearing this, Old Yang was also curious.

After getting the consent of Black Tower and Aisthe, Jizhi successfully kept Star on the space station.

"Goodbye, Miss Jizhi."

At this moment, the screen showed Jizhi herself, Walter, Dan Heng, and March 7th preparing to board the train and leave, waving goodbye to the Pioneer.

Along with a line of subtitles.

【After careful consideration, you choose to decline Jizhi's invitation. The whistle blows, the Stargazer Train is about to set sail, and your chance encounters wave goodbye to you. Parting is as sudden and resolute as meeting.】

"It actually triggered this ending?"

Both Jizhi and Old Yang were taken aback.

The following scene caught them both off guard!

【After the Stargazer Train departs, the space station starts to rebuild with great vigor, and you begin researching the Star Core with Black Tower. Soon, however, Black Tower loses interest in both you and the Star Core. Under Aisthe's arrangement, you become a clerk on the space station.】

【In [Black Tower], you live a peaceful life. The Stargazer Train returns several times, and then there is no more news. From travelers who come and go from the space station, you hear of the Stargazer Train and the Star Core Hunters' earth-shattering ending. Sometimes, you can't help but wonder if their future would have been different if you had boarded that train.】

【However, it is no longer your concern.】

Jizhi and Old Yang looked at each other.

They saw the astonishment and shock in each other's eyes!

Who would have thought that an unprecedented ending was actually achieved!

The journey really ended there.

The development team's few strokes of the pen perfectly reflected the future's sense of age and sadness!

If life could be re-lived…

The two fell into contemplation.

Quietly living as an ordinary person on the space station for the rest of their lives.

Perhaps this ending would be a good choice?

Even for them, facing such an ending, they were momentarily unsettled.

The Stargazer Train and the Star Core Hunters' earth-shattering ending…?

What would happen in the future?

As they gazed at the stars outside the window, lost in thought.

The credits appeared!

【Starring: Star】

【Featuring: Dan Heng as Dan Heng】

【??? as March 7th】

【Jizhi as Jizhi】

【Achim Nokianvirta as Walter】

Seeing these lines, Jizhi was dumbfounded.

Walter felt his scalp tingling!

Star and Dan Heng were fine.

Jizhi playing Jizhi, no problem.

But the March 7th section was replaced with three question marks!

Did this mean that the March 7th they knew wasn't actually the real March 7th?

Terrifying!

And Old Yang felt both familiar and strange about his own name.

Yes, this was his original name.

Later, he inherited Walter's title and the Ruler's Core, and his surname changed to his mother's.

He changed his name to Walter Yang and became the new Ruler of the World!

But this kind of thing.

It was the deepest secret buried in his heart!

How could the game's developer know this?

Old Yang felt a bit sweaty now.

He said to his equally stunned companion in a hoarse voice, "Jizhi, I think we need to investigate this developer."

"The information he has is just… too much!"

Jizhi nodded in agreement, "Yes, I'll start investigating now."
