Honkai Star Rail 3.7 Lore Explained: What’s Next for Amphoreus & Our Next Planet?

The dust has settled on the battle for Amphoreus, leaving us with a profound question: was it all for nothing? The stunning revelation that everyone in Amphoreus was a data entity, and the subsequent destruction of the Scepter that sustained them, felt like a tragic ending. But fear not, Trailblazers. The latest lore drops, particularly from the IPC broadcast and Herta's messages, paint a picture not of an end, but a breathtaking new beginning.

Let's break down the future of Amphoreus and the clues pointing to our next planet. The following content contains spoilers for Version 3.7. Please read only after finishing the storyline!

The Present: Amphoreus, Preserved in a "Eternal Page"

First, let's be clear: Amphoreus is not gone. In her final act, Cyrene sacrificed herself to create an "Eternal Page", a book titled As I’ve Written, which preserves every data entity from Amphoreus (minus Cyrene herself, whose ego was consumed by causality, and Lygus, the outsider who never belonged to the Scepter’s extrapolations).

A Complete World in a Book: Every NPC and all twelve Chrysos Heirs are saved within this book, which is now in the Trailblazer's possession. This is why they can still reply to our messages.

The Key Difference: Unlike other "unreal" beings like Gallagher and Misha, who disappeared once their truth was revealed, the inhabitants of the Eternal Page are stable. Every interaction with them is canon, a real continuation of their story. Think of them as "Seeds of Memory," waiting for the right conditions to bloom.

 

The Future: The Road to Becoming "Real"

So, how do these data entities become real, physical beings? The lore provides a clear and hopeful path forward, backed by the universe's top scientific minds.

The Scientific Proof:

Thanks to the efforts of Genius Society members Screwllum and Herta, a majority of the Scepter's data was salvaged. Herta herself states that this data is crucial and can allow the new Amphoreus to "skip its inorganic life phase and take a big step forward." She has simulated entire universes; recreating a physical world from this data is a feasible, if complex, task.

The Cosmic Support:

The Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC), upholding the principles of Preservation, has officially taken Amphoreus under its wing. They've initiated a "World's Reborn Initiative" to guide its evolution.

The Blueprint: Benzaitengoku

This is the most critical clue. The IPC broadcast reveals that a world called Benzaitengoku, once "confined to a canvas," has now become a physical reality thanks to the IPC's technology. This is our definitive proof-of-concept. The process to make Amphoreus real already exists.

 

When Will Amphoreus Return?

This is the million-credit question. Herta is candid: she can't make any promises. It "might take a thousand Amber Eras, or it might only take a year or two."

However, she gives us a crucial mission: "The only thing for certain is that what you are doing will surely hasten its growth."

Our actions as Trailblazers are the variable that will accelerate this timeline. And this brings us to our next destination.

 

Our Next Planet: The Stage for Amphoreus's Rebirth

Benzaitengoku seems to be the next stop. This Japanese-inspired, fiction-turned-real world is the living laboratory for the technology Amphoreus needs.

Here’s what and who we can expect to encounter there:

The Path of Elation: The Lunament Festival, established by the Aeon Aha, is the centerpiece event. As expected where Elation reigns, the Masked Fools are never far behind.

Key Players:

Sparkle: She leaked Amphoreus to us during the Cosmodyssey event and recovered our body in Penacony. She is confirmed to be involved in Benzaitengoku, likely as a "director" for her next script, tying the past and future narratives together.

Pearl: A member of the IPC's Ten Stonehearts, she is acting as a government official in Benzaitengoku, solidifying the IPC's deep involvement in this "rebirth" project.

Boothill & Oswaldo: Boothill’s cryptic warning to Sparkle to "leave the boss alone" (likely referring to the controversial IPC figure Oswaldo) suggests a major, high-stakes conflict involving the Interastral Peace Corporation is brewing.

Our journey to Benzaitengoku will see us navigating the schemes of the Masked Fools and the power plays of the IPC. By the end of this arc, we will likely secure or help perfect the very "world rebirth" technology needed to plant the "Seeds of Memory" from the Eternal Page into a new, physical planet—Amphoreus reborn.

Of course, with Aha involved, this entire setup could be one giant prank, but the pieces fit together too perfectly to ignore!

 

Conclusion: A Miracle in the Making

The story of Amphoreus is far from over. It has transformed from a data-driven tragedy into a story of hope and rebirth. Cyrene's "Hello, World!" was her declaration of existence to the cosmos, and it's now our mission to help answer that call.

As Herta advised, we must "continue the journey, be prepared for the worst, but keep hope in your heart."
