Manuscript of Era Nova I: For the Sun is Set to Die
This originally comes from a post on Hoyolab by the official account, which was published on July 20. The image has been cut into more manageable pieces.
The truth behind Amphoreus has come to light. As we look back on the Flame-Chase Journey, the “Deep Learning” of the “black tide” nears its final stage.
To rewrite the world's destined “Destruction,” a brand-new Manuscript of Era Nova awaits the hand of the “Nameless Deliverer.”
“Take it, Trailblazer. May this blood be like gold and never tarnish.”
Current Recurrence[1]: No. 33550336
Archived Record: Dialogue Log I
Dan Heng: Screwllum informed us that Amphoreus was the Erudition's testing ground, where a Lord Ravager would complete its evolution, with March 7th caught up in it all. We split up, with me heading back to the Express for help.
Stelle: At the Vortex of Genesis, I reunited with Phainon. Just as the ritual of Era Nova reached its end, Lygus invited me to witness Phainon's past.
Caelus: The Flame Reaver appeared and slew Lygus. During the battle, we discovered he bore the same face as Phainon. As his body was pierced through, the truth of this world surfaced with the memories…
Stelle: To prevent Irontomb's evolution and the Era Nova, Phainon and Cyrene created the “Eternal Recurrence.” With Phainon bearing countless Coreflames, burning until they could break free from this prison, they now have cycled through 33,550,336 times.
Caelus: In the final Eternal Recurrence, I took on Phainon's duty of saving the world and returned to the beginning of time. Phainon, in turn, tore the sky asunder and confronted Destruction head-on.
Ongoing Experiment: Era Nova
………………
Aedes Elysiae, Phainon's hoemland, was consumed by the black tide. Driven by a dream of heroism, the young Phainon stepped onto the battlefield of the Flame-Chase. He arrived at Okhema and met his like-minded Chrysos Heir comrades one by one.
They hunted Titans and gathered Coreflames… Among the Chrysos Heirs who reached the end, only Phainon and Cyrene remained. “Amphoreus is the result of the Scepter's extrapolations. Everyone is the firewood meant to raise the Irontomb… When this cycle completes, the world will fall into Destruction.”
Upon learning the truth, the two chose to continue their calculations through “Eternal Recurrence” until the prophesied “Pale Dawn” arrives to break this cycle.
