    If there's anything I learnt from studying philosophy:
    Yaoshi is the kind of medic who makes really high quality medicine without including the dosage plan, which is why so many of their "patients" get the severe side effects

    It's intersting to point out that out of all the 18 Aeons that we have, 4 have some association with chinese culture, of course Yaoshi, Lan and Long and the most forgotten one but has the most obvious apperance of a chinese emperor, Fuli and NGL Fuli seems to be referenced to the Jade Emperor. IDK my imagation is running wild LMFAOoo

      nope you actually correct on Fuli being part of chinese inspire aeon, Fuli is the name of a supreme deity proposed by the Shenxiao sect of Taoism in the late Northern Song dynasty, and Path in hsr is a direct inspiration from the concept of Dao in Daoism/Taoism(path is also a common concept use in Xianxia and chinese fantasy genres, even part of chinese culture )

      Right???? I’m wondering if they will get Hunt or Abundance powers first. Both scenarios are funny because imagine if they get Hunt first, then next year get Yaoshi’s gaze and now Lan wants to yoink the Hunt powers and shoot the trailblazer lmaoooo. Or if they get Abundance powers first and Lan now refuse to give them Hunt powers.

      Imagine visiting a pacifist planet that follows Yaoshi because, instead of giving immortality to the people, THEY blessed the plant life to flourish and that ended hunger, lack and gave them powerful medicinal plants.
      ... And then you have to defend them from a Xianzhou ship, despite them not doing any harm, just for the sin of following Yaoshi

      @@genesischaparro8954 Pretty sure the Xianzhou alliance doesn't attack anyone incessantly just because one is involved in worshipping the abundance or Yaoshi. As seen in one of the Xianzhou sidequests with the Animal activists, they were worshippers of Yaoshi that were only arrested after they did some shenanigans in the sacred waters of the Vidyadharan Temple.

    - I believe each path have a true meaning, a core of the path is not shown by their path name or just their simple surface. For abundance, i believe the path true nature and Yaoshi true pursuit is undead or the elimination of death itself. All healing and plant theme was all a byproduct of this true nature, that why Abundance emanator like Shuhu can't be kill as they are closer to abundance path only second to Yaoshi, meaning they are closer to not having the concept of death apply to them. That also show how blade version of immortality is so much stronger than xianzhou native in general coz Blade immortality is an abundance divinity he gain from Shuhu body remain
    - not a fact but i believe reason why people turn mara struck is likely due to incompatibility between their soul(the mind is tie into the soul) and body. The immortality and long life span given normally from Yaoshi was only immortality in the body but not the soul, as body living longer than the soul + all drama happen to that person life, the soul start deteriorate which affect the mind. And without the soul, the body starting to become independent which the body mutated to fit the nature of itself aka abundance looking and coz the mind is tie with the soul so there is also no mind within the free body, making mara struck person no difference from a mindless monster
    - Stronger individual tend to have stronger soul, which is why we have case like Jingyuan living over 800 yo and Huaiyan with over 2000 years old
    - the story you bring up with Lan and Flint emperor deal have not been confirm as the canon story of Lan backstory in any way yet, it is even said to be something the xianzhou make up to tie Lan closer to the people, likely in the early day when xianzhou just start switching to follow Lan.
    - i believe zhuming would be the best choice for next Xianzhou ship as Helio have already been introduce which would make pulling player into Zhuming story easier. And they can repeat the thing they did on Luofu, introducing stuff/char/lore from other ship while we on Zhuming as a set up for the next ship.

    Xianzhou people: "Give us immortality!"
    Yaoshi: "Sure, here you go."
    Xianzhou people: "Well sh*t, this isn't what we thought it would be. Now we will dedicate the rest of our lives to hunting The Abundance for granting our wish!"

    All im gonna say is the abundance is probably better than the hunt because if creatures like Hoolay can not only evolve past his original ancestors but also bare the mara curse then i see the xianzhou as whiney children who fail to adapt to the blessing they dedicated their existence towards
    And as many state before once the abundance is gone the luofu is the next target
    To me the hunt are hippocrites that act like they dont have ties to the abundance but rather than adapt and changing what the abundance is they went to externination and expected good things from that

    • @neonexus1897
      @neonexus1897 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      I think we're missing a few points here
      - xianzhou didn't adapt because they don't want to be something other than humans, sure they can side with abundance, seeking further blessing to perhaps evolve past mara, but that means becoming an faction of denizens of abundance that's opposed by the rest of the civilization/galaxy
      - Normal Borisins don't live long enough to see mara, Hoolay was a special case where he had a relic of a plague mark (something created from Yaoshi's direct blessing) that was only made by sacrificing Millions of Borisins and foxians (according to Hoolay about Duran), that's not feasible for everyone on the xianzhou
      - The Xianzhou has deep grudges against Yaoshi from their interactions with Their blessed factions, wing weavers invaded their home world (origin of the fleet), denizens of Abundance kept raiding their ship to take the plague mark,
      all those wars killed so many people, why would they want to become like their enemy? and that's just the xianzhou natives, foxians won't want to co-exist with the borisin because of their feud.
      - Back when the xianzhou first experienced mara, they did enjoy the long life, but further societal problem arose like the rich will always stay in power, and overpopulation meant common people staved, they lost one their ships to the chaos of an revolution so of course they are going to blame Yaoshi for not informing the consequences, even if logic doesn't make sense and it was purely emotional. We might see them as hypocrites now, but the exterminations and hate didn't come out of no where
      - Following on from the last point, when Lan's hunt was born as a necessary evil to counter balance Yaoshi's unregulated abundance, they xianzhou faced a choice to either stay out of the whole hunt vs abundance and seclude themselves (turning to preservation, it was the second popular path at the time) or vent their hatred/vengeance and hunt their enemies but accepting blessings from Lan, their ultimately chose to side with the hunt, but an aspect of hunt followers whether Xianzhou or galaxy rangers, is that you can't ever turn back, even if later on they wanted to adapt, the hunt path and Lan wouldn’t accept this, they are bound to goal of killing Yaoshi, i don't think they expected good somethings to happen from war but it's something they must do, if they want to keep their power and thus insuring survival in the galaxy
      ON THE OTHER HAND, i do see where you come from and it's really easy to missing key points and misinterpret the plot because they writer didn't explain the perspectives and morality well enough, partly because they might have thought less people will side/have an interest with the bad guys so included less nuance, spreading lore tidbits in readable in game. I'm also really interested in seeing an IF timeline where xianzhou became an abundance faction
      I will say that i'm willing to type this because i find it a really fascinating topic that has being brought so many times by so many people, i won't try to change your view if it's resolute, but reading a bit further into the lore can make all the difference, as that makes better discussions rather than misinformation(or lack of information).

    • @kerroseir4764
      @kerroseir4764 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@neonexus1897 I mean I’m not misinterpreting the plot it’s just the truth that the abundance as I stated COULD change if the xianzhou wanted to
      You act like the xianzhou can only be “denizens of abundance” instead of their own unique faction on abundance
      And by adapt I don’t mean become tree people as we’ve seen blade and jingliu aren’t tree people and they’ve adapted to the Mara, Jing yuan hasn’t been affected by Mara even after the countless battles he’s seen and the stress he’s endured
      In the end yaoshi herself doesn’t even make a Borosin emanator which tells you her own opinions about the followers of abundance and how she wants them to change
      You need to understand the fact that the xianzhou can still be human and part of the abundance WITHOUT having to be like the other long lived species that ALSO seem to be able to thwart Mara especially the ones in the shackling prison that endure terrible sentences (like the dude who wanted to buy immortality) even though the xianzhou did the same sacrificing all to get immortality
      And yes I’ve read all the lore unlike propagation the abundance CAN change whereas the xianzhou fails to understand that their own aeon will sacrifice them all if given the opportunity because no matter what they originated because of the abundance the fact she hasn’t stripped them of her blessing shows she still considers them as her blessed people just as ah ha does with his mourning actors

    Hi I’m late to the party but recently I watch a play through of the Tsurumi island quest from GI and on day 4 when they are about to take Ruu to see the thunderbird there was a line about the God of fertility living in wheat and traveling with human. The path of abundance was originally called the fertility before being changed to the abundance. The Chinese name that they use for the abundance and their god of fertility mention in GI are the same character 丰饶. I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it but it can’t be a coincidence that they use the same character and change the abundance original name.
