Honkai: Star Rail - Pathstriders, Emanators, Aeons and High 3-A Update

I think I will have to disagree here becuz it's a mistranslation. And in full context and original cn text, Himeko is talking about the whole Universe which is imaginary tree. Early HSR localization has a lot of problems like translating universe as galaxy
Himeko: The galaxy is endlessly vast. I wouldn't know where to begin, especially if you ask me that so suddenly...
About its nature...
Himeko: I've been to many different worlds, yet I still know very little about the galaxy, simply because it's too vast.
As for its nature, there are a few theories that I can share with you.
Himeko: The most popular is probably the Cosmos Tree theory, proposed by Zandar, Emanator of Erudition and the first member of the Genius Society. He compared the galaxy to an enormous imaginary tree, with its leaves being individual universes.

I mean even without any scans, it's pretty obvious "galaxy" here means Universe which is Imaginary Tree

you see how wrong this is, comparing galaxy to imaginary tree gets completely contradicted by saying that each leaf is universe.
This is either some wrong translation or just bad terminology from hoyoverse that is known for a while (ive been telling that all the time).

IT is called universe because it holds all space times aka leaf worlds but those leaf worlds hold infinite galaxies/star systems which are now apparently infinite which im not going to meddle in, but just saying Galaxy =/= IT
and Leafs are not 4-B 3-C or whatever just to clarify
Edit: There are also Branches of Imaginary which is iirc brought in some old garrixian crts of last year whch i forgot to mention, anyway ill leave terminology stuff and translations to garri
 
Here is what I understand about Terminologies in Honkai regarding Universe, Galaxy and World.

Universe as in Imaginary Tree is used in CN text as 宇宙 and 银河
Universe as in individual star systems or galaxies is used in CN text as 星海

Imaginary Tree (Universe) contains countless galaxies or star systems. These stars system are limited space-times. Each star system in imaginary tree are blocked to each other by Imaginary Energy. Honkai Impact 3rd Solar System would also fall into 星海 category since it's limited space-time which is blocked by imaginary energy.

Himeko said 银河系 which means the Milky Way, however, it didn't mention "endless". GG for High 3-A; that shit likely ain't going anywhere.

Still context wide, it's referring to the Universe. Milky way Galaxy with countless universes? Idk how that will work -.-
