From this perspective—
"This Star Train is completely different from the one in the game."
Baili stood in the train's main hall and couldn't help but look around.
The first thing that catches the eye is the sense of endless, extended space.
Instead of traditional crystal chandeliers, countless tiny points of light float on the ceiling.
They twinkle like stars in the night sky, occasionally forming brief but dazzling constellation patterns.
The ground is made of a translucent material, with a faint light flowing beneath it, like a river flowing with energy.
The surrounding walls are inlaid with complex runes, which seem to be constantly changing shape, sometimes as if they are being torn apart by sharp claws.
"Is this what you created, System...?"
To be precise, it was this system that seized it for you.
"Does that mean...this is Akivili's creation?"
To be precise: it was originally.
"..."
The silent Baili continued to move forward.
We soon arrived at the observation carriage.
This is where the train truly stands out from the crowd.
The huge viewing windows are no longer just tools for showcasing the beauty of the outside world, but have become vivid scenes.
Through these windows, Baili saw more than just the real world...
It seems... there are also otherworldly landscapes that exist in parallel universes or dreams.
Sometimes a forest ablaze with flames would suddenly appear;
Sometimes they are city ruins covered in ice and snow;
Or perhaps it's a red-haired girl running through a world of demons.
Just as Baili was about to take a closer look, everything was swallowed up by the distorted darkness.
Are you satisfied with all of this, host?
"Rather than satisfied, I'm completely bewildered; I've completed the prerequisite tasks, so what exactly is the system you've activated now...?"
May you make the most of everything you have right now.
"So how did you get your hands on this Star Train?"
[For the sake of the great Chaos Star God, this system is merely a well-preserved means of transportation found at the edge of the Sea of Exploration.]
……
"What did you say?"
It's just a means of transportation.
"In front."
[Star God?]
"Yes."
【Yes. 】
"Who?"
【you.】
"I?"
【kindness……】
A brief conversation, but a wealth of information.
Baili, who left the band and completed the prerequisite tasks, suddenly became the Chaos Star God mentioned by the system!?

Chapter 2 System Cloud Player?! Theory and Practice of the Star God!
He left the band and became a star god.
This span is comparable to heaven and earth.
At this moment, Baili, who was inside the Star Train, was trying to process everything he had just received.
After all, I've been here for so long, but I haven't really experienced these extraordinary things yet.
Unfortunately, the system takes a long time to boot up, and it took several months to complete the preliminary tasks.
After everything was settled, a big one came along.
Faced with the system's statement, Baili currently has only one thought.
"So, it seems I can do whatever I want now..."
[Your power is indeed sufficient to do whatever you want in this plane, but...]
"But what? Surely the power of a Star God can't have limitations, right?"
Baili said, staring at the scenery outside the car window.
"I am quite clear about the fact that the Star God has the ultimate right of interpretation, that is, the ability to control and interpret destiny."
Even without thorough research or investigation while playing the game, you can still glean this basic information from the dialogue.
Therefore, according to some discussions and settings, the Star God has the highest right to interpret destiny, which means that the Star God can freely interpret and apply the power of destiny.
Upon hearing this, the system remained silent for a few seconds before replying.
Your idea is correct; the Star God does indeed have the right to interpret the situation.
"To put it simply... your system is meaningless to me now, since I already possess the corresponding power. Otherwise, you, who imposed these restrictions, would just be a 'cloud player' (someone who only knows how to play the game without understanding its underlying principles)."
【…】
"say."
[From this system's perspective, the aforementioned right of interpretation is not absolute; the actions and decisions of the Star Gods are still subject to the limitations of the concept of destiny.]
Specifically, the Star God can influence the Fated Ones by promoting their messengers, but cannot prevent or restrict them from drawing power from their destiny. For example, a Fated One can freely draw power from their destiny, and the Star God cannot prevent or restrict this behavior?
Furthermore, the right of interpretation does not mean the elimination of all limitations; for example, the Star God of Joy, Aha, once entrusted the entire power of Destiny to an insect, but this does not mean that the Star God lost control over Destiny.
This degree of freedom indicates that the celestial deities possess a certain degree of interpretive power over destiny, but this interpretive power is not unlimited.
"You seem to know quite a lot."
[Most importantly... host, you should know several ways to kill a star god, right?]
"I have seen this before."
Baili nodded.
Star Gods are not absolute beings.
Baili currently knows four ways to kill them.
—The first type: the merging of destinies, which can also be regarded as the assimilation of destinies.
The most typical examples are Harmony with Hippe and Order with One.
At the end of the global locust plague, Hipedon, the mother of the stars, became the god of harmony and simultaneously absorbed the path of order, resulting in the death of Taiyi.
—The second method: crush or kill by force.
For example, the Insect King Taizyuros, who was defeated by the Guardian Star God Kripper.
However, this method is not thorough.
Even if the Insect King dies, its destiny remains, and it may return one day.
—The third possibility: The Star God himself meets his end.
Like the owner of the Star Train that Baili is currently on, the Star God Akivili who is in charge of opening up the path of destiny.
Akivilli could tolerate the unknown, but not the unknowable.
So He attempted to explore the unknowable.
But why is it unknowable? Isn't it because of the danger and uncertainty involved?
Thus, Akivilli's fate ended unexpectedly.
—The last, fourth type: You kill yourself.
The most notable figures are the Immortal Dragon and the Destroyer Star God Nanuk.
There are still some speculations and theories about the Immortal Dragon, but at least in the eyes of outsiders, he is already dead.
And Nanuk... the obsessed Star God, he created the Antimatter Legion, Doomsday Beast, Cataclysm Vanguard, and Annihilation Lord.
As everything comes to an end, Nanook himself will become a part of it.
They're doing fairly well for now.
With that in mind, Baili sat down on the sofa in the observation car of the Starry Sky Train.
"I know all the methods to kill the Star God, so what exactly do you want to tell me?"
The star god has fallen, but destiny remains; chaos will inevitably devour everything.
"You mean... the destiny power of those vanished star gods is a power that chaos can absorb and devour?"
It depends on which final interpretation rights you obtain.
"Something interesting."
