When Zhongli opens his eyes, he finds himself aboard the Astral Express, a train that traverses the cosmos, carrying passengers bound by fate. Gone are the stone pillars and the comforting embrace of Liyue’s mountains—his connection to Geo severed, his Vision absent. Yet, an unfamiliar power lingers within him, raw and unshaped, waiting to be understood.
As he adapts to this strange new world, Zhongli is drawn into the conflict surrounding 'Stellarons', chaotic anomalies capable of unraveling entire civilizations. The Astral Express crew welcomes him, though questions remain: 'How did he arrive here? What force brought him across worlds? And why does the presence of Aeons—gods who shape reality itself—stir something deep within his ancient soul?'
With his knowledge of contracts, history, and war, Zhongli must navigate this new era, where the weight of immortality is measured against the vastness of the stars. Yet, even among the unknown, one truth remains constant: a contract, once made, must be honored.
But this time, the terms are yet to be revealed.

This is a work of fan fiction inspired by Honkai: Star Rail (owned by HoYoverse) and Genshin Impact (owned by HoYoverse). All canon characters, settings, and concepts from these franchises are the property of their respective creators.
honestly, up to the latest chapter for the half part at least there's plot going on. but then the later half is just slice of life and omake of Geo daddy in the Express ... not that bad, but not really good either. these feels like reading a side story or smt.
The Greatest Fanfic Ever Written (Totally Not Biased) Wow. Just wow. I can't believe how incredibly talented the author of this fic is (oh wait, that's me). Frankly, I don't know how I managed to create something this breathtaking, but here we are. If you haven't read this yet, you're missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Future generations will study this fanfic in literature classes. Read it now. Thank me later.
So far I’m enjoying the story so far….I might consider waiting it out and marinate for a little bit and then reading it all at once.
As much as it was an interesting concept with actually having Zhongli be in Honkai Star Rail and not some oc pretending to be Zhongli, it turned to be pretty boring. The story moves at a strange pace, not really helped with the short chapters. Instead of starting at a familiar setting like in Canon, we are thrust into experiencing Zhongli in an original story setting and it isn't really working. Again, the pacing and short chapters aren't really helping with the overall plot. Things appear left and right, so is events and just overall plain confusing with no time to actually get to know what is happening. After that, the latest chapters have just been slice of life with nothing really that important or even something that remotely matters. The story would have benefited if it just placed Zhongli at the start of HSR.
