==Dialogue==
===Go to Central Starskiff Haven and talk to Mr. Xiyan===
: When are we going to be done with our storytelling?
:Mr. Xiyan: Hmm... I was so busy with all this storytelling that I almost forgot. I've made preparations for this, just you wait and see!
:Mr. Xiyan: Our next scene: "Warrior Quells Phantylia, Hero Earns Regalia." I've already put this whole scene together, but I'm just waiting for your final confirmation.
:Mr. Xiyan: Let's go, straight to Scalegorge Waterscape. I've prepared a little surprise for you.
: I've got a bad feeling about this...
: Define "surprise." Explain to me like I'm 5.
:Mr. Xiyan: It'd spoil everything if I just told you now. You'll see soon enough.
:Mr. Xiyan: Don't worry. Everyone can vouch for my reliability. Catch you at Scalegorge Waterscape!
===Head to Scalegorge Waterscape and meet Mr. Xiyan===
:Mr. Xiyan: (Trailblazer), you've made it. Why don't you meet this "surprise" I've got waiting for you?
: Isn't this the character from before?
::Mr. Xiyan: Heehee, freaked you out, right?
: Salutations, Your Highness!
::???: Kneel ye not. This custom has long disappeared from Xianzhou etiquette.
:Mr. Xiyan: Don't be scared! This is Shiyun, a famed actor from the Mellow-Golden-Mayor Immersia Club.
:???: Ssh, don't mention my real name around here! You'll kill my flow and take me out of the zone. Call me by my role, er... Which is what, again? (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe), that's right. Call me (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe).
:Mr. Xiyan: Alright then, (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe). You are emphatically correct. (Trailblazer), the Mellow-Golden-Mayor Immersia Club picked up our story and is interested in potentially buying the adaptation rights. So let's show (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) a very warm welcome, okay?
:Mr. Xiyan: Look, he's made up exactly like I imagined (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) would be!
: Is this a child actor?
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Child actor? Haha, I may have been fresh meat when I first debuted, but that was over five hundred years ago. I'm an old hand now!
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Okay, enough gossip for now. Xiyan, tell me more of your storytelling. Let's see if this role is worth my taking on.
:Mr. Xiyan: O-kay~ "(Trailblazer) has been born anew after swallowing the miracle elixir, and has teamed up with the high elder of the Vidyadhara. Right now, our hero is the talk of the town, unmatched in power and might!"
:Mr. Xiyan: "This was a time when Xianzhou Luofu fell into crisis, with the Lord Ravager Phantylia leading the forces of the Ruin Author on a rampage as they vowed to destroy the Luofu!"
:Mr. Xiyan: "(Trailblazer), with weapon in hand, stood before Phantylia, bellowing out: 'Beast! Right here, right now: This will be your final resting place!'"
:Mr. Xiyan: "(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) secretly activated the cloudhymn to protect (Trailblazer). A battle could break out at any moment, and the fate of the Xianzhou Luofu rested on the outcome of this fight!"
: Phantylia, it's time to settle the score once and for all!
;(Begin battle against )
===Forge "divine weapons" with the high elder===
:Mr. Xiyan: "As the Lord Ravager met its demise, the curtain fell on this final scene in the story..."
: I don't think Phantylia really looks like that.
:Mr. Xiyan: Oh, really? I've never had the chance to personally see Phantylia and I hope I never do.
:Mr. Xiyan: Since you've seen Phantylia before, could you tell me a bit more about what it looks like?
: There seemed to be plants growing on its back...
:Mr. Xiyan: Mmm... I think I got it. And any other features?
: It's humongous... monstrously huge...
:Mr. Xiyan: Monstrously huge... I'm sure I can imagine.
: It looks incredibly ferocious.
:Mr. Xiyan: Ooh, ooh! When you put it like that, I think I've got it. Okay, this is definitely getting updated when we do our revisions.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): I don't care much for what Phantylia looks like. My only question is... Is that it?
:Mr. Xiyan: Er... There's still a coda, an epilogue that comes afterward. I haven't figured out exactly how it goes, but the main plot indeed reaches its conclusion here.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): I feel like this story is lacking for scintillating adventure. As an old theater hound, I've got a few pointers if you'd like to hear.
:Mr. Xiyan: If you could please enlighten us!
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Firstly, (Trailblazer)'s character development needs to be more compelling. Swallowing a medicinal pellet to get stronger may work in your world of storytelling, but it's long gone out of style in the Immersia genre.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Secondly, rolling straight into the decisive battle after finding the high elder makes that character seem like a plot device. His role should be more fleshed out.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Thirdly, give me some more screen time. I don't care in the slightest how your story gets told, but if it's getting adapted into an Immersia, then you need to give me more screen time. That's what the Mellow-Golden-Mayor Immersia Club wants to see and why they're interested in this acquisition.
: Why didn't you say so earlier...
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): , seems like you know your way around the Immersia industry.
: What a diva...!
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): , that's not very polite, is it? But hey, you're not wrong.
: With an attitude like that, why don't you take my part and play the protagonist instead?
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Impossible! How could I, a seasoned thespian of esteemed virtue and skill, take a role away from a short-life species such as yourself? Besides, casting me in a leading role will cost you extra!
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Please also try to understand what a difficult situation I'm in here... I'm already five hundred years old, but I've stopped growing, so child roles are all I can do.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): A few days back, an Immersia troupe wanted to paint my whole body green and have me play the role of some wise old master who spoke backwards and tutored a young protagonist in some mystical martial arts... That's gonna be so humiliating. I'd much rather play a young high elder of Vidyadhara without having to wear any prosthetics or paint.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): My producer even said that whether I can revitalize my career all depends on your adaptation of this story into an Immersia.
:Mr. Xiyan: Hey, don't be so demoralizing! I've just come up with some new ideas right now... Your feedback is well-received, and it's easy enough to make adjustments accordingly...
:Mr. Xiyan: "(Trailblazer) asked (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): 'This Lord Ravager has the very powers of this world at its fingertips. How can we mortals hope to ever defeat it?'"
:Mr. Xiyan: "The high elder of the Vidyadhara sternly replied: 'With our forces combined, we should be evenly matched against the Lord Ravager. But a divine weapon would guarantee victory.'"
:Mr. Xiyan: "The book implies that (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) retains memories from previous reincarnations, including the secrets of forging such an ancient ultimate weapon."
:Mr. Xiyan: "This next scene is called: Forging Weapon, Purging Demon!"
:Mr. Xiyan: What do you think? Are you both ready? Let's work together to bring this story to a nice conclusion.
: I'm ready. Let's begin.
:;(Enter Exploratory Excursion Divine Smelter)
: Hang on a sec.
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): It's okay, but let's hurry up a bit. I've got a show at a party tonight.
;(If exited dialogue, talk to Mr. Xiyan again)
:Mr. Xiyan: What do you think? Are you both ready? Let's work together to bring this story to a nice conclusion.
: I'm ready. Let's begin.
:;(Enter Exploratory Excursion Divine Smelter)
: Hang on a sec.
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): It's okay, but let's hurry up a bit. I've got a show at a party tonight.
===Find the Growth Booster===
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Phantylia seized the Ambrosial Arbor's power and created an invincible body. It's unkillable — even I, as high elder, remain powerless against it.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): (Trailblazer), if you really want to help purge this beast from the Xianzhou, we'll have to forge a divine weapon: the life-destroying "Star-Shattering Blade of Truth +12".
: That power level increase sounds a little extreme...
: That name sounds pretty formidable.
: What's up with the "+12"?
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Probably just to show off how powerful it is.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): I'll just follow Xiyan's script. His first drafts are usually pretty sloppy. It doesn't matter.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): To stand any hope of standing toe-to-toe against Phantylia, there's going to be two parts needed to forge this Star-Shattering Blade of Truth.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): One is a hilt forged from the wood of the Ambrosial Arbor. The other is a blade forged from the embers of Reignbow's Lux Arrow, known as the Ignis Aureliae.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): We are at Stargazer Navalia to search for materials to craft a sword hilt.
: Won't it be dangerous crafting a hilt from the Ambrosial Arbor's wood?
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): It will be. Moreover, with the Ambrosial Arbor hijacked by Phantylia, we just can't go looking even if we want to. But...
: Where can I find Arbor wood at Stargazer Navalia?
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): You might not be aware that the seeds used by the Xianzhou to grow starskiffs are of the same origin as the Arbor. Using such wood to make sword hilts won't be the same as using wood straight off the Arbor, but it's more than enough to defeat one mere Lord Ravager.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Now then... We need some starskiff growth boosters to stimulate these seeds — and give us enough material to make a hilt.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): It's always been a starskiff nursery here, and there should be plenty nearby. Let's take a look around and see if we can use what we've got at hand.
;(Optional, Talk to (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) again)
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): It's always been a starskiff nursery here, and there should be plenty nearby. Let's take a look around and see if we can use what we've got at hand.
----
;(Interact with box)
:(Trailblazer): This should be the growth booster (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) was looking for. Let's take it back to him.
;(Obtain )
===Report back to the high elder with the Growth Booster===
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Did you find the growth booster? Let me taste it and see if it's any good...
: Is it safe to taste this stuff?
: Hope it doesn't stimulate any growth of your tongue...
: Won't your mouth grow bigger?
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): The top note has a faint whiff of alien perfume... Mmm, this is of high quality! Next, we just need a suitable starskiff seed, and we'll be able to cultivate a good sword hilt.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Next, it's time to choose a starskiff seed from which to cultivate some good material for the sword hilt.
===Use the starskiff seed to grow the hilt-wood from the Arbor===
;(Interact with starskiff seed)
:;(Submit )
;(Northernmost starskiff seed)
:After injecting the growth booster, the high elder sat in meditation as he performed his cloudhymn.
:The seed grew explosively, sprouting wild tendrils in seconds like a thick tangle of roots!
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Huh... How did that happen?! I guess that was the wrong seed.
;(Northwestern starskiff seed)
:After injecting the growth booster, the high elder sat in meditation as he performed his cloudhymn.
:The seed grew explosively, sprouting rapidly into the hull of a ship.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): It grew straight into a starskiff... Our growth-boosting experiment failed. No one can wield a starskiff in combat.
;(Westernmost starskiff seed)
:After injecting the growth booster, the high elder sat in meditation as he performed his cloudhymn.
:The seed in the vessel gradually sprout and countless twigs converged into one, as if an invisible hand was weaving it into the shape of a hilt.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Wonderful! Only a hilt made from the Ambrosial Arbor can hope to withstand the Reignbow's residual power in the Ignis Aureliae, so it would not harm its wielder.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Now let's head over to the Alchemy Commission. If my memories from the previous life are correct, the Ignis Aureliae, which can cast the divine weapon, is stored over there.
===Find the treasure map from the high elder's memories===
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): This Star-Shattering Blade of Truth is a divine artifact once wielded by Dan Feng during the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): It is said that "A Sword Is Mightier When Hidden." He, therefore, hid the Ignis Aureliae away, from potential thieves before he was imprisoned.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Fortunately, I still retain memories from my previous lives, and can dimly recall that Dan Feng has hidden a map somewhere deep in the Alchemy Commission that shows where the Ignis Aureliae is. Perhaps we can find this, and the treasure will be practically revealed to us.
: Let me guess, it's treasure huntin' time, innit?
: Isn't fetch quest a bit overused?
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): So what? Interastral Peace Entertainment has shot over sixty films in the Allen Jones treasure-hunting franchise. Treasure hunts are family-friendly fun!
;(Approach the marked area)
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): I vaguely remember... The treasure map ought to be around here somewhere...
;(Upon finding the treasure map)
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): See, here's the map showing where the Ignis Aureliae is!
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Just track down the location shown and you'll be moments away from creating the divine weapon.
;(Obtain )
===Find the Ignis Aureliae according to the treasure map===
;(Investigate the location marked on the treasure map)
:Mr. Xiyan: After all these twists and turns, (Trailblazer) never thought things would end up right back at the start: under the almighty Aureate Elixir Furnace in the Alchemy Commission.
:Mr. Xiyan: The word "Aureate" pertains to the word "gold". Dan Feng hiding his treasure here is like hiding a tree in a forest — so close, and yet undiscovered for several hundred years.
:Mr. Xiyan: How do you like my little callback for this mini cliffhanger?
: (Stares speechlessly)
: Didn't any of the alchemists around here ever notice it?
: There's no saving grace for your screenwriting skills...
::Mr. Xiyan: Please go easy on me and don't make Shiyun laugh at me.
:Mr. Xiyan: No sooner said than done, just as (Trailblazer) and (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) were about to dive into the elixir cauldron and unearth the Ignis Aureliae, a group of figures blocked their path.
: O-ho! Looking for a fight, are we?
: Some good old treasure guarding villainy, huh?
:Voidranger: Trampler: Under the orders of Master Phantylia, I hereby vow to cut you all down!
:Mr. Xiyan: How cunning! Realizing (Trailblazer) and the others' unusual actions, Phantylia was planning on using the treasure as bait to lure the Nameless into its trap!
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): This devil is delusional! Taste the might of the Luofu Vidyadhara!
: Come and get it, puny worms!
;(Enter battle against , , )
----
;(After the battle)
:Mr. Xiyan: Phantylia assumed dispatching crack troops would be enough to win. Little did it know that today, (Trailblazer) had the high elder's support and was far stronger than before. The Antimatter Legion was routed before long, and utterly annihilated without a trace.
:Mr. Xiyan: With a flick of his sleeve, the high elder elegantly moved his hands like billowing clouds, as if communicating telepathically with the huge elixir crucible before him. A strange light burst forth from the crucible (by the way, this is where the VFX artists can add some Immersia special effects), and a lump of molten brilliance coalesced like condensation forming in the air —
:Mr. Xiyan: This is the Ignis Aureliae that would cast the Star-Shattering Blade of Truth!
:Mr. Xiyan: With the Ignis Aureliae in hand, the next step was to forge them into one instrument. This arduous task will need a trip to the Artisanship Commission to borrow their Creation Furnace.
: Then let's hit the road.
: Let me catch my breath...
;(If exited dialogue)
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Rested up enough? I've got work to do later, so hurry up.
: Then let's hit the road.
: Let me catch my breath...
===Forge "divine weapons" with the high elder===
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): It's been a rough journey, (Trailblazer). But now that everything's in hand, we can start with the business of forging this Star-Shattering Blade of Truth...
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): There are three conditions we need to meet in order to forge this divine weapon, and the sacred materials we have collected so far only count as one. (Trailblazer), do you know what the other two are?
: Some random worldbuilding rules you just made up...
: Some screenwriting nonsense...
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Xiyan, is this going to be okay on set? Totally unprofessional.
:Mr. Xiyan: It's ok, my old friend. This esteemed guest has rescued the Luofu, and naturally, is no ordinary layperson. After all, all heroes have a bit of an ego.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Alright, let's continue. The two other conditions needed to create the divine weapon are right here in our Artisanship Commission. As they say, you need the right tools for the job. Without the smelting equipment and Bona Aqua here, creating a divine weapon would be impossible!
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): As for the last condition, it's about how we forge the weapon. Fortunately, I still have memories from my previous life to serve us...
: If you remember everything, doesn't that mean you're basically Dan Feng?
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Let's put aside for the time being the profound philosophical concept of "Who Am I?"
: Is there anything that can't happen in this story?
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): The forging process for the divine weapon is like this. Just listen to me —
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): "Heaven Rains Aqua Vitae, Flames Forge Veritas Aureliae. Aether Tilts Askew, Arbor Sprouts Anew. Root Bathes in Empyreal Dew, Iron Grows With Ephemeral Hue. Blade Shatters Starscape, Jade Eclipses Agroshade."
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Did you get all that?
: How about you give an explanation?
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): What that means is, first add the , then add the . When the Bona Aqua has completely evaporated, add . After it has completely cooled, put in the , then add more to fuse the hilt with the metal into a single instrument, as though they have always been one.
: This verse doesn't rhyme that perfectly...
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Hey, that's pretty picky... I didn't write this part anyway, so take up any criticism about the poetry with the author.
: I understand...
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Got it? Next, go to the depths of the Artisanship Commission and use this formula to forge the weapon.
;(Optional, Talk to (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) again)
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Well! Even though I'd like to personally bear witness to the reawakening of this divine weapon, I — (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) — have only just been reborn, so I'm still not very tall... If there are no further questions, please start with the forging yourself.
: What's the forging process again?
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): What that means is, first add the , then add the . When the Bona Aqua has completely evaporated, add . After it has completely cooled, put in the , then add more to fuse the hilt with the metal into a single instrument, as though they have always been one.
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): This formula is really strict. Don't mess it up or make any mistakes.
: I'll go forge it then...
----
;(Forge the divine weapon)
:(Trailblazer): Alright. I'm ready to start forging the divine weapon... Step one... What am I doing again?
: Put in the hilt-wood from the Arbor
: Put in the Bona Aqua
: Put in the Ignis Aureliae
: Put in the coolant
:(Trailblazer): Alright. What's the next step...
: Put in the hilt-wood from the Arbor
: Put in the Bona Aqua
: Put in the Ignis Aureliae
: Put in the coolant
:(Trailblazer): Step three now. I should put this in, right...?
: Put in the hilt-wood from the Arbor
: Put in the Bona Aqua
: Put in the Ignis Aureliae
: Put in the coolant
:(Trailblazer): The weapon's almost finished... The next step is installing the hilt. How does that get done again?
: Put the hilt-wood in first, and then the Bona Aqua.
: Put the Bona Aqua in first, and then the hilt-wood.
: Sculpt the hilt-wood and then install it.
:(Trailblazer): Phew~ Finally forged! I did the process correctly, right?
;(If applied incorrect forging formula)
: I think I've messed up. Let's try that again...
:;(Repeats the dialogue)
;(If applied correct forging formula)
: So be it!
:Mr. Xiyan: Star-Shattering Blade of Truth is this weapon's old name, and it's been dragged through the mud since the fall of the high elder. Now that you've re-cast it with skill and precision, why not give it a new name too?
: Keep the old name!
::Mr. Xiyan: Star-Shattering Blade of Truth: slash at the stars, and leave foes shattered. A grandiose and elaborate name!
: Big Sword!
::Mr. Xiyan: Concise, but unconventional! Big, sword... Truly a splendid name!
: Reaper of Nexus Modder!
::Mr. Xiyan: Ha! I always knew that the great (Trailblazer) was a very cultured . This blade is more than just a physical weapon — it connects, deciphers, and even modifies the rules of the world itself. An unusual but fitting name!
: Imaginary Intra-Kinetic Portable Tactical Laser Cannon!
::Mr. Xiyan: Hang on... What's this "laser cannon" about?
:: Imaginary Intra-Kinetic Portable Tactical Laser Cannon!
::Mr. Xiyan: But... But based on my screenplay, this should be called the Star-Shattering Blade of Truth!
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Who said the Star-Shattering Blade of Truth can't actually be a laser cannon? The market is saturated with boring superhero Immersia, and the audience wants something new.
::(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Out with the old and in with the new. Let's use Imaginary Intra-Kinetic Portable Tactical Laser Cannon here and give them a bit of a sci-fi shock! How about it, Xiyan — or aren't you interested in selling us this script anymore?
::Mr. Xiyan: Fine. You two are simply too much... If Imaginary Intra-Kinetic Portable Tactical Laser Cannon is what you want, then Imaginary Intra-Kinetic Portable Tactical Laser Cannon it is...
:Mr. Xiyan: "(Star-Shattering Blade of Truth/Big Sword/Reaper of Nexus Modder/Imaginary Intra-Kinetic Portable Tactical Laser Cannon), reborn once more, settled in (Trailblazer)'s hand — who suddenly felt invincible."
:Mr. Xiyan: "With the dragon oil elixir flowing internally and the Vidyadhara high elder's power protecting externally, our hero gripped onto this world-destroying divine blade, (Star-Shattering Blade of Truth/Big Sword/Reaper of Nexus Modder/Imaginary Intra-Kinetic Portable Tactical Laser Cannon)!"
:Mr. Xiyan: "At this time, there is only one thought in (Trailblazer)'s head - The Lord Ravager must be destroyed so the Xianzhou can remain in peace."
: Lord Ravager!
: Everlasting peace!
: The grand finale!
: Stay tuned for next time!

:Mr. Xiyan: "Right here, right now, was the critical moment for Phantylia to absorb Abundance's powers from the Ambrosial Arbor. The Lord Ravager sneered: Reckless ants, accept your fate!"
:Mr. Xiyan: "(Trailblazer) raised the divine weapon fearlessly, and dropped this line —"
: Will this blow pierce through the stars?
: Hasta la vista, bay-bee!
: ...Ah? What's my line again?

;(After the battle)
:Mr. Xiyan: "As Phantylia's body crashed down, the crisis of the Xianzhou Luofu came to an end for now... However, just as (Trailblazer) and (Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe) were getting ready to celebrate, an evil creature lurking deep within the depths reached out its malevolent talons!"
: Hold on a second...
:Mr. Xiyan: Ah, don't worry. I've told you many times already — the battle scenes write themselves. It's fine. I'll finishe them later.
: That's not the problem...
: Phantylia does not look like THAT!
:Mr. Xiyan: Hey... This was based on your descriptions! Plants on the back, monstrously huge, ferocious...
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Forget it, (Trailblazer). Just forget about that. Treat it as part of the artistic process. The budget for shooting Immersia would shoot through the roof if we really wanted to capture a ferocious and accurate likeness of the Lord Ravager.
:Mr. Xiyan: Yes, that's right. Don't worry about these details... I'll revise them later. Ahem, I'll keep going and bring the story to its denouement, then...
:Mr. Xiyan: "Faced with an enemy of unprecedented power, what will become of the Trailblazer and the high elder of the Vidyadhara? The next scene is our final decisive battle: Xianzhou Laments Woes of Age, Trailblazer Fails Sanctum of Exaltation!"
: Wait a sec, why do I fail in this?!
: Hey, that title is a spoiler!
:Mr. Xiyan: Come on, it's just a little gimmick for the next scene's preview... I'm not really going to kill you off. ...Whew, finally finished it. Thank you both for your help! This script of mine is pretty much done now.
:(Dan Heng/Cold Dragon Young/High Elder MK2000/John Doe): Looks like I'm not needed anymore, right? I'll head off, then. Remember to send us the revisions once you're done so that we can sync up.
:Mr. Xiyan: Ah, yes, definitely! As for (Trailblazer)... You're still waiting to see me wrap up the story, right? I'll get writing immediately. I would never dream of wasting your time.
:Mr. Xiyan begins scribbling furiously, and this time he radiates with delight... He's probably in such good spirits because he's managed to get some cash from this IP.
:Shortly after, he raises his proud head and hands over the manuscript to you.
:Mr. Xiyan: Now the final scene, the epic finale of our story, has finally been completed: Xianzhou Laments Woes of Age, Trailblazer Fails Sanctum of Exaltation! I hope you can give me some feedback once you read through it.
:Mr. Xiyan: Aside from that, I have also written down some side stories of your adventures on the Xianzhou. Feel free to come have a read when you have the time, give some comments, and help me include them into the Legend of the Trailblazer.
:Mr. Xiyan: Hey, I almost forgot! I'm having dinner tonight with some of the playwrights from the Mellow-Golden-Mayor Immersia Club. Haha, maybe I really am going to make it on the big stage!
:Mr. Xiyan: I have to get home, wash up, shave, change my clothes... So much to do. See you next time!
