The first and second chapters are of a “prequel” nature.
The third and fourth chapters are respectively the “upper” and “lower” parts.
After the upper part, there is a new OP that truly gives a feeling of gathering all the characters from various generations.
It’s exhilarating.

Is this for real? Is the content of this route really that rich?

It seems this lousy work is well hidden; the volume of this hidden route could probably be sold as a DLC on its own, right?
Could this hidden route be one that the game developers secretly updated?

You wouldn’t believe it, but the game developers recently actually released a new PV.
They probably intend to attract some attention with this wave of hidden routes.

Oh my god, hurry up with the new game!
Xingyin has committed a crime, it’s unbearable not to beat Xingyin for a day!

Great, this post has received the Xingyin certification.
Thanks to every player going crazy over Xingyin for the authenticity labels.

I just finished watching this new OP too.
The difference from the common route’s OP is quite large; this style resembles the OP of the true ending more.
I guess this hidden route is of the “true true ending” nature.
The background setting is derived from “Xingyin” and “Xingyin 2,” but it differs from the beginning of “Xingyin 2.”
Players who are not familiar with the plot of “Xingyin” and “Xingyin 2” may be a bit confused.

You’re right!
I watched it and was completely baffled.
According to the harem route’s ending in “Xingyin,” the female leads from the previous game shouldn’t have been turned into monsters by the fragments of the end, right?
But in this OP, not only is Yui still alive, but Xinggong Nayin is actually a reincarnation of Hikari, and there’s even a Nagi shadow.
So what ending from “Xingyin” does this route connect to?
12. User

There are analytical videos made by story enthusiasts.
This route does not connect to any route in “Xingyin;” it is completely independent and runs through the stories of “Xingyin” and “Xingyin 2.”
In this hidden route, players can fully experience a complete story of the “Xingyin” series from the perspectives of “Hikari” and “Xinggong Nayin.”
Although players need to complete and collect everything in “Xingyin” and “Xingyin 2” to barely understand the content.
But I have to say.
Having the protagonist from the second game, Tsukimi Kanade, handle the first game’s BOSS, that feeling of dominating over them from a wheelchair, is exactly what I’ve always wanted!!!
Game creators, don’t you understand this!!!
All the disgusting things from the first game should kneel before the wheelchair!!!

“Using the second game’s protagonist to accomplish what the first game’s protagonist couldn’t.”
Honestly, that’s a great idea.
To be honest, when I got to that part, I felt a hint of fondness for this lousy developer for the first time.
It truly feels like “this is Xingyin.”
14. User

Wow, is there actually such a storyline?
Isn’t the volume of this hidden route just too large?
15. User

The scale of the DLC isn’t a joke.
In simple terms, it’s like playing through the first playthrough of “Xingyin” and “Xingyin 2” and then adding in a true ending.
Especially for those players who have been tormented by “Xingyin,” that segment of the plot and gameplay experience is truly both exhilarating and tear-jerking.

Can newbies still jump in and play now?
I was previously discouraged by the disgusting BOSS at the start of “Xingyin.”
As soon as I heard I could beat it with a wheelchair later on, I couldn’t hold back.

The intention is good.
But to enter this hidden route, you first have to clear and collect everything from “Xingyin” and “Xingyin 2.”
In other words… you have to eat this crap…

Wise choice.
Watching livestreams of streamers suffering while having high blood pressure is the best way to enjoy this game.

You can use the second game’s characters to play through the first game’s plot?
That sounds so satisfying!
The power level of the second game’s characters is on a different tier from the first game’s.
Not to mention Kanade, even the true protagonist would be enough to make the first game’s BOSS drink a pot, right?

The difference between the second and first game characters is indeed significant.
When I first played “Xingyin 2,” I felt that with each female lead’s identity being revealed in the latter part.
It was as if thinking “if this were in the first game, who would be the BOSS” gave me that feeling.
Truly, “Xingyin 2” has a very low character density.
22. User

After all, since the second game is a sequel, it needs to innovate and add some hype to character designs.
This has led to a significant power inflation.
For instance, the female leads from the first game, there’s only one who is not human.
The female leads from the second game, on the other hand, are entirely human.
Not just “containers revived by gods,” but “hybrids of humans and dragon-type monsters,” or at least “human-bodied priestesses with divine qualities.”
Even the protagonist is a naturally “chosen one” with “dual psychic powers.”
Their combat capabilities are simply on a different level from the first game.

Isn’t the combat power in this hidden route even more terrifying?
After watching the OP at the end of the second chapter, the lineup is basically an all-star cast!
Not to mention that Xinggong Nayin inherited Hikari’s stats.
“The second generation’s Xinggong Nayin” seems to have shared one power with her brother.
And then there’s also the “shadow of the end” Tenjouin Amaha, the mist of authority, and Yui still being alive, and even a Nagi shadow.
It feels like aside from Kanade, everything else is gathered.
How many patches will need to be made to counter this lineup?
24. User
>>23
With this lineup, it seems no one has cleared it yet.
You probably know what kind of difficulty it is.
25. User
>>24
Is that for real?
Is there really that much “patching” for this route?
Other than the Ten Gods’ Pillars, what else is there as a “strong patch”?
Seven Legendary Weapons?
Soul Connection?
Source + End?

Let me put it this way.
I’m still stuck on Kanade.
We can’t use a wheelchair, but Kanade can use one.
27. User

Got it, I’m out.
Please spare my dog’s life, Kanade~
28. User
It’s quiet now; is it because they ran away after hearing that they’d have to fight Kanade who can use a wheelchair?
So, is there anyone who can share the content of the first OP of the hidden route?
I want to see what lineup can still take on Kanade in the future.

I saw a text version in a discussion post next door; I’ll repost it below.
It should be the most comprehensive one available online right now.

Visuals: (Background) Night sky, filled with stars. (Main) A cracked black box, with starlight shining through the cracks.
Text (female voiceover): This is the last chance.
All possibilities will eventually collapse into reality.
You.
Have you found the reality you desire?
Visuals: (Background) Transforming into a blank space. (Main) The black box explodes, its center turning into a pitch-black flame.
(Main) Centering on the flame, lines of circular tree diagrams are drawn against the blank background.
(Main) After focusing on a certain branch and enlarging it, the lines formed by the pitch-black flame begin to flow.
As the lines slide, the background fades out, and the character illustrations, names, titles, and lines begin to fade in respectively.
1. Tsukimi Kanade’s illustration (high school appearance): This is not the story I want. Title: Protagonist of this era (the illustration flickers, switching to a young Tsukimi Kanade)
2. Hinata Mana’s illustration (high school appearance): The protagonist is not just one. Title: Masterpiece (the illustration flickers, purple-black starry eyes of Hinata Mana) End of the World Mana: Is this the curse that must be borne?
3. Amami Chika’s illustration (high school appearance): Even so, I still believe in the possibility of humanity. Title: Divine Being of the Present (the illustration flickers, giant white fox)
3. Alice Astrea (appearance with black hood): The special circle SEMA and the academy are not trustworthy. Title: Hybrid Dragon Princess (the illustration flickers, fully dragonized Alice) Everything is just a lie.
4. Tsukimi Yukino’s illustration (high school appearance): I do not acknowledge this as my fate. (the illustration flickers, countless piled-up corpses of Tsukimi Yukino)
5. DD-chan’s illustration (doll appearance): silly kids, run away! (the illustration flickers to Yui’s illustration, which then flickers again to the pseudo-god Bai Ling) This time, I won’t make the same mistake again.
6. Xinggong Renci (college appearance): She is not a hero, but my sister. (the illustration flickers, becoming a silhouette of a scale; the line flickers: I offer everything as the price)
7. Tenjouin Amaha (high school appearance): Don’t think about laying a hand on my family. (the illustration flickers, purple-black starry eyes of Tenjouin Amaha) End of the World Amaha: Let me bear the cost of the deal.
8. Tsukimi Ayako (SEMA uniform appearance): Sorry, passage is prohibited here.

14. Nagi shadow (purple-black starry eyes appearance): Okay~ Deal established~
