A character vows to protect what they can, referencing a promise to 'Lun' to journey together. - **Dangerous Journey** [02:00] — The trailer shows a perilous journey through heavy snow, with a 'terrifying power' that could trigger an even worse disaster if they make a misstep. - **Trial of Usurpation** [02:34] — A 'trial of usurpation' is mentioned, testing whether the people will obey.

This is set against a 'trial in progress.' - **System Errors and Final Contract** [03:16] — Errors are detected, and a 'final contract' must be fulfilled, hinting at a climactic confrontation. - **Confrontation with Celestia** [03:31] — A character confronts a divine entity, accusing it of misrepresenting terms and overturning the 'eternity paradigm,' questioning if this constitutes a rejection of the heavenly principles plan. ### Conclusion The trailer sets up a high-stakes narrative for Version 7.2, where characters face a world-ending event and must challenge divine authority.
