All in all.
Although the main story developnt process of Honkai Impact 3rd remained "slightly bumpy" as always, it didn't affect production progress.
After players had cleared [Elysian Realm] who knows how many tis, and chanted "please update the story" who knows how many tis—
Honkai Impact 3rd finally ushered in another major update.
A new main story!
Elysian Realm, officially launched.
...
...
Elysia's livestream.
With the Elysian Realm gaining popularity,
The real-world Elysia also gained a huge wave of new fans.
[Is Miss Elf not live yet?]
[Really looking forward to the new Honkai story!]
[What kind of story will Elysian Realm tell?]
Amid the audience chatter,
The livestream screen changed.
Darkness faded, revealing a gorgeous stage.
At the sa ti, upbeat music began to play—
And Elysia's singing voice echoed out.
♪ "Light-footed steps~ humming~ swaying with the beat." ♪
With the Elf's lody, a pink crystal flower slowly coalesced on screen.
♪ "Outside of battle ti~ wink-wink~ changing crystal hues
Endtis age~ forty lines~ elegant opening lines~ what joy
Fairy cuteness~ good and bad~ don't guess what's on my mind
..." ♪
The pink crystal flower quickly ford.
Then brilliant pink light blood forth.
Classic look—(Fla-Chaser uniform) Elysia—appeared from that radiant glow.
She was softly humming the Elysia character song that Hokuto had once taught her.
♪ "On this~ Honkai stage
None in the world can replace
Would you like to learn~ the last wish of this world?" ♪
On screen, Elysia drew her bow and shot a pink arrow skyward.
A crystal barrier enclosed the world,
Making everything dazzlingly beautiful.
Making the singing Miss Elf especially radiant.
♪ "...
From past~ to now
Unchanging is the waiting~ within Elysian days
Also~ that little lie~ your blush was cutest." ♪
Elysia softly sang. As the song ended,
She playfully winked her left eye.
Then—snap—she snapped her fingers.
The dazzling stage vanished.
Miss Elf appeared and greeted the audience.
"Hope I sang decently—hopefully I didn't disappoint!"
[Elylove♪]
[Thanks to Elysia for the performance.]
[Is this the character song Miss Elf said she'd been practicing? It's beautiful!]
"As long as you all enjoyed it, I'm happy~ I know, I know~~ everyone's been thinking about what happened before with Elysia..."
"But really, no need to feel that way."
Elysia spoke in a lively tone. That eternally warm, energetic aura was infectious.
"Just enjoy the story with Elysia to your heart's content~~ no need to carry such emotional burdens~~"
[Honestly I still can't forgive myself for having doubted Elysia before.]
[Hope we get a chance to make up for that in the coming chapters.]
"Hmm..."
Seeing the audience's reactions, Elysia didn't say much more.
"Well then, let's get started. Please welco our special guest for today."
"Hehe~~ you'll never guess who I invited."
[Who is it? Miss Snake-sis? Or Chef Kalpas?]
[Is it Kevin the Ancestor?]
The viewers eagerly guessed along.
Elysia waited a mont, then said with a playful tone:
"None of them~~"
"Alright, no more teasing. Let our special guest speak for herself."
"..."
"Hello, everyone."
Eden's gentle voice rang out in the stream. "I'm very happy to be invited by Elysia to join the stream today."
[It's Eden!!]
[Seeing Eden in Miss Elf's stream—double happiness!]
[Stay calm—old fans know how close Elysia and Eden are.]
[Wait what? Their relationship is real? Isn't that just a ga setting?]
As viewers marveled that today's guest was Eden,
Elysia had already launched Honkai Impact 3rd and logged in.
Then smoothly navigated to the main story chapter—
To begin experiencing Elysian Realm.
The story began with a sowhat cryptic opening.
Several anonymous users were chatting on a web forum.
The idea conveyed was—soone wasn't willing to just vanish; it wanted to leave more of itself behind, so...
It decided to take action.
Players read the dialogue, completely clueless about what was going on.
Before they could make any sense of it—
The scene shifted to i's side.
i was currently fighting off enemies that had suddenly appeared.
Although she was in power-saving mode and hadn't transford into the Herrscher of Thunder, she still dispatched them effortlessly.
To the players, it was a top-notch cinematic cutscene.
Clap clap~~
A dazzling battle ended, and applause rang out appropriately.
Elysia gently clapped her hands, smiling as she stepped before i.
The story picked up from where it left off.
After enduring countless trials in the Elysian Realm, i had finally learned of "Elysia's defeat by humanity in the previous era as the Thirteenth Herrscher."
She arrived at the deepest hidden secret—Elysian Realm.
"Welco to the secret stored within the [Deepest Depths], the most hidden truth of the Elysian Realm—a world shaped by [Elysia]'s mories, a complete recreation of everything [Elysia] loved—[Elysia]'s inner world."
"As you can see, it's a paradise ford of all beautiful things, a peaceful and eternal dreamlike sanctuary—an immaculate land that stands at the end of all ideals."
"Does the na Elysian Realm... spark your curiosity?"
As she spoke, the Elysia onscreen placed her hands on her hips in a very cute pose.
"Elysia's so cute."
In a certain sense, Eden—the No.1 Elysia fan—was already moved.
"But of course~~ whether it's the Elysia in the ga or the one outside it, both are 100% adorable pretty girls~~"
Elysia replied cheerfully without any hint of embarrassnt.
"Pfft~~"
Eden couldn't help but chuckle softly.
In-ga, the cara zood out, showing players this dreamlike paradise.
A pink-toned immaculate sanctuary.
Every corner brimming with girlish charm.
This design had Elysia absolutely delighted—and with so many [girlish thoughts] packed in, players were naturally thrilled too.
They openly stated: [Such a beautiful setting must be for an incredibly romantic story.]
And they weren't wrong.
The stories of the Realm and the Thirteen Fla-Chasers were indeed extrely romantic.
Where was the romance?
Too many examples to count.
The Story That Exists Because of You was romantic enough.
After glancing around, i asked Elysia:
"Elysian Realm... this is your mory space?"
Elysia flashed a sweet smile: "Excited? Among the successors, you're the first to arrive here—and the first to experience the [whole-hearted truth] of Elysia. i, it's okay to let loose and be happy... really."
i answered calmly: "To be honest, I don't feel much. Just by coming here, I'll know the truth? From what I know of you, it can't be that simple."
"Oh my!"
Elysia spread her hands in exasperation. "Why would you think that? Who turned you into this?"
Hearing that line, players burst out laughing.
[Was it MiHoYo?乆乆乆乆!]
[Definitely MiHoYo's doing! (Instant answer)]
[Definitely Kalpas (strikethrough) I an, MiHoYo did it!]
[To the one above—Kalpas: Get over here.]
"MiHoYo really loves playing with ta jokes, huh? Right, Eden?"
Even though she voiced the character herself, Elysia couldn't help but laugh out loud at the in-ga performance.
"MiHoYo really understands the players."
Eden comnted. Being able to pull off these kinds of jokes accurately showed that MiHoYo had been paying attention to what players discussed.
"It's because they understand the players so well that they're always able to deliver surprises."
"So… is there another surprise this ti?"
