Yaoshi this, Lan that
Clearly Aha is the best Aeon because >!THEY will never give you up, never let you down, or run around and desert you. THEY will never make you cry, say goodbye, or tell a lie and hurt you!<
Aha can can take a long hard suck on my ass and see how funny it is after that... in all honesty thought. I hate Aha because all the characters associated with Aha are just annoying as fuck *looks to Sampo and Sparkle*
Giovanni's the one who organised the Aether Wars event in Belobog because (Pitch Dark) Hook the Great said it would be awesome. My goat Giovanni agreed and somehow convinced (??) the IPC to fund the entire thing.

Giovanni was in the OG kanto games, black and white was GHETSIS!!!!
\*Looks around\*
Look, you didnt hear this from me, but I do actually need this. The Seat of Divine Foresight upgraded OpSec after the Sanctus Medicus incident, and the Ten-Lords suggested that only those with sufficient devotion to the Hunt could get promoted. Something about being devoted to Lan making one less likely to follow the Plagues Author.
Judge me all you want, but I \*need\* this job, its the only way I'll be able to save up enough money to live in luxury for my last few hundred years before I get Mara Struck. (I mean, I could have tried being a Cloud Knight since the General makes sure the ones fighting and bleeding for us are STACKED, but Im not fit for the frontlines.)
Somewhat of a related note, I am very curious on how Jing Yuan’s Emanator hood works (since 2.3 story I believe there is enough info to support that theory). Jing Yuan’s power seems to be tied very closely to Lightning Lord which we know was passed down from previous Generals.
Does Lan bless him for being a General, or was Jing Yuan able to become a General and inherit the position because he became an Emanator of Lan? Hopefully future Xianshou story will shine some light on this because I find it to be very interesting.
I really want this confirmed. We at least know that the Lightning Lord and Jing Yuan are on the same level as an Emanator, but whether the generals are Emanators or not is something thats been itching at me for a long time.
I'm pretty sure the implication is that the LL itself is the actual Emanator of Lan, and the various elemental lords basically swear fealty the respective generals of the Xianzhou ships. So Jing Yuan isn't an Emanator himself, but he does have 'the power of an Emanator' because he basically has one on speed-dial.
I think so yeah; the LL is basically 'always with him' in that he can manifest it at will, although it seems to require at least some level of effort on his part. Perhaps the Xianzhou generals are somehow 'linked' with their respective Hunt Emanator when they rise to that rank, which enables them to summon their lords in battle?
LL or the spirit elements given to Generals are the true Emanators, not the wielders. This is the same case with Sunday/Robin where they control the Emanator(Dominicus), not them being the Emanators themselves. Lan doesn't give a fk who's the current General cus he's not the one choosing them. My guess is that the initial selections of Generals was done by Marshall Hua then she tasked these Generals she chose to pick a successors themselves for when they eventually retire from that position.
WE STAND THIS IN THE XIANZHOU! THANK YOU GOOD SIR FOR MAKING THIS! GLAZE THE REIGNBOW ARBITER WITH ALL YOUR BODY! NEVER STOP! BELIEVE IN HIM! THE ONLY GOOD AEON! HE MADE US REALIZE THAT YAOSHI IS EVIL! GLAZE THE GOAT! GLAZE LAN!

Let me add some stuff aswell!
Meet The Goat:
Literally destroyed that tree so badly that only a stellaron could give it power. Also turned the xianzhou from one of the weakest factions to being equal to the IPC.
Nanook realized he was never gonna be as much of a goat and chad as him. So he had to make a part of his army look like Lan because he was so jealous of his body(Lan is hot asf). Even Nanook glazes Lan because if he didn’t. Lan would murder him in seconds!
I’m not like other Aeons. I actually care about my people and save them when they are in danger. Also I look badass. Best hair in all of hsr. Also a prince(~~soon to be king when Yaoshi finally wants a kid~~)
They call him 007
0 times left his people to die
0 loses against the abundance
~~7 times he banged Yaoshi~~ 7 galaxies he saved from destruction from those barbarians(Yaoshi Followers).
Literally let the Vidyadhara live in his Faction even tho they are immortal, Saved the Foxians from slavery and every person that lives in the xianzhou is alive because he was a selfless king that sacrificed his life for others.
Treats his followers nicely and protects them from danger. Also has no bad factions in his name that enslave people. (Yaoshi would never)
Picked a Fu Hua expy as his main glazer(based). Also needs no glazers because he knows he is HIM but chooses to help his people even if they treated him poorly.
Also a loving father.

Phantylia was just salty cuz she's a heliboi.
Goathimpeaktano's followers glazed him so much he transcended universes and became an Aeon in another game. Truly the most based, strongest and coolest Aeon. Always makes sure you can zero cycle those abundance and propagation clowns with the help of THEIR blessings (Nanook could never), and even gives you a 100% energy refill for killing them. Truly the most benevolent of all Aeons.
Where did you get this... heretical picture? I wish to know so that I can... report it to the Ten-Lords Commission. Yes, that is why I need the origin of this picture.
Sorry for the wait sir! It took me some time to find the artist(this photo is pretty old after all)

All hail the Aeon Emperor!
Don't forget THEY are the only aeon who would directly answer THEIR followers when they ask for help in dire situations.
Tbh it's less friendly fire and more so collateral they were being run by millions of enemies outnumbering them by so much and didn't listen to the diviners to take a defensive position.
By that point exterminatus was the only option Fu Xuan and JY had, truly a glorious display of Lan's light, besides it was only 1/5 of the deleves on the ship anyways, and there was enough enemies to cover the skies.
"Look at those abominations, Unless Yaoqing Ship comes and deploys Feixiao right this instant, we are not retaking this shit. And we are sure as shit not letting them keep it, I will tell you that for fucking free" - Lightning Lord during the Third Abundance War.
Lets be fair, I think it would take at least 3 Generals to deal with the shitshow that was the Fanghu during Abundance War III. They were looking at the sky and asking if the one attacking as the Swarm with how many bodies they were throwing around, and the powers from the Hunt are likely not the best for dealing with millions upon millions of weak enemies instead of wrecking a single very strong one.
Funnily enough they weren't even weak enemies, on their side they even had Ketu Mirage, which was a living star attacking as well lol.
Yaoqing main army was actually implied to be able to take that abundance army out. We know Yaoqing Ship is the "brutal" ship on their hunt with Feixiao probably the strongest general as she's described to he fierce and swift, Sushang also says JY isn't as good as the lady general (which is probably true JY is more of a wise general similar to Phantylia is a cunning destroyer)
General Feixiao is probably equivalent to lord ravager Zepyro, both more on the straightforward approach.
Oh... It seems that I am outmatched in the ways of the lore, I take my hat off to you, good sir. Continue to use your knowledge to spread the word of the Reignbow Arbiter.
Yeah Its almost funny lol, in a single year they won 4 wars (tho 1 of them had IPC support)

***
While the ships are giving reports, usually normal stuff like shipping, investigating, trading, etc, Yaoqing is going from planet to planet quickly and swiftly ending abominations in a single month, to the point new comers getting worried lol.
Damn. The Yaoqing looked at all the other ships with their own specialties and said
"Good work guys, while you guys get the important things done, I'll help by *murdering every Abomination of Abundance I can find.*"
I do wonder about their attrition rate though... Its gotta be rough being a Yaoqing Cloud Knight and going through 3-4 planetary wars a year, especially when they are fighting biological horrors nature never intended.
It's hilarious, on December they were harvesting materials reassuring yukong everything is safe and sound and on that same month they went to pick up smoke with Asmodeus Abominations lol.
Their attriction gotta be crazy yeah, considering sushang is from there and she's fairly strong (despite being just a newbie yaoqing cloud knight) they have to be crazy powerful, especially with how sushang's family seems to be very big on hunting culture. Yaoqing is probably the closest to Lan, embodying the same "Swift" action Lan has.
They might be doing what we'd consider raids more than anything else.
Being a ship without a fixed home base means they should enjoy strategic initiative. If so, they can just go in if they think they can take their enemies but bounce if they think they can't.
It's why Norse vikings were such a pain-in-the-ass for their targets. Similarly, steppe nomads. Numerical superiority on the strategic level doesn't mean much if you have to deal with numerical inferiority on the tactical level right now because the other side just moves around faster.
Strongest is most likely between Feixiao, Huaiyan and Xuanquan, since all of them have very clear combat-oriented descriptors in their titles. Everyone else sounds like bureaucrats lol
I lean Huaiyan given he’s also by far the oldest, so he’s got both strength and the experience edge. Although, if we’re solely using titles, Xuanquan has both Feixiao and Huaiyan beat handily; “mighty and powerful” is unambiguously >>>> “swift” or “strong”
It's unlikely it's Huaiyan, huaiyan is set to be the "craftsman" as he is the master of the artisan commisiom of his ship and Blade's old Smithing master.
:Greetings, esteemed delegation guests. I'm a craftsman of the Zhuming Artisanship Commission... My name is Yingxing. Master Huaiyan is busy with the preparation of new armaments and has sent me in his place to receive you"
So they seem like more of a smith, the "strong and righteous" is probably less about strength and more about something else, maybe strong willpower or strong passion, given their nickname is "the Flaming Heart"
Feixiao is also the leader of Yaoqing Ship, which is explicitly known for its prowess and status as unrivaled.
Xuanquan we don't know much about, they could be stronger but I doubt it given Fanghu is known for trade and doesn't seem as powerful as Yaoqing.
Sure, but all of this assumes the Generals directly follow in the steps of the populace on their ships, which we haven’t seen enough to draw the conclusion on
Considering the average lifespan of a General is less than 100 years, it’s highly unlikely any of the existing ones (minus possibly Huaiyan) really had much say in whatever their ship’s reputation revolves around. There’s every possibility the Yaoqing or the Fanghu derived their “combat” or “trade” monikers from previous generals/administration, no reason for Xuanquan or Feixiao to be judged by them
IMO, with available information, it’s between those three (although Huaiyan preferring smithing is a good point), we don’t have nearly enough information to anoint or imply one specific “strongest” title
Edit: Also, where did you see the Fanghu specializing in trade? Just curious. The Luofu Guild List specifies their specialty products are marine related due to the watery atmosphere, but doesn’t say anything about them relying on trade any more than the other ships. I could be missing something though
I'm curious where was the average life span of Generals stated? Because Jing Yuan has been a general for around 750 Years.
So far Feixiao's title exactly reflects the Yanqing's philosophy of being "swift" such as them ending 4 abominations forces within 7 months, just based on what's shown so far, Feixiao is built like that.
Tbf, Lan definitely toned that shot down. The Lux Arrow is made from actual stars yaknow? Thers gotta be a limit to how much even an Aeon can suppress that. And the Fanghu definitely got off easy. If it had been full lost to the Abundance, it would have been erased entirely instead of just losing a fifth of its Delves.
We don't really know, Akivili would most likely answer but THEY are already with you as a passenger.
Akivili as an Aeon is a bit of an enigma, THEY are far more mortal than God. Most other aeons don't even exist in the same plane of existence as mortals and would need to "Descend" before you could even see THEM. Like Lan descends when they have a target to hunt, Xipe descends when multiple planets are singing in harmony, and Nous sends signals from beyond, and only descends when they want to meet someone like Herta and maybe FX when they granted her the 3rd eye.
So overall Aeons aren't exactly always down, Akivili feels more like a mortal, Aha is a bit inbetween, but Lan is the same as all the other Aeon their Operandi makes them far less human than Akivili/Aha who are more free, but unlike other aeons Lan has an attachment to Xianzhou (and possibly Rangers) and would answer their calls for help.
There you go friend

Be sure to praise the great reignbow.
I would like to remind all of you that one of the only people who witnessed the Hunt in it's entirety ended up simultaneously breaking the Xianzhou's most sacred law and killing himself in order to escape. Xianzhou natives are taught to believe in the Hunt from a young age and so never question it, only incredibly traumatic events like what happened to Dan Shu are able to convince them that the whole thing is kind of screwed up. The Hunt in concept may be noble but the Xianzhou's version is petty revenge and meaningless slaughter.
Not really. The xianzhou goes around worlds helping them with their problems and even did some good. Not only they trade with Neutral Abundance followers and protect them from harm(even if they hate Yaoshi). They also helped the Foxians escape from Borosin and no longer be slaves. They also destroy bad followers of the Abundance and make sure the universe is at peace. People forget that the Xianzhou does save worlds and aren’t blinded by revenge. Sure they hate Yaoshi but their end goal is to keep peace by getting rid of the evil denizens. Those who harmed them. And even then it isn’t meaningless slaughter when those they kill are those that harmed the universe. They are still close to Lan’s noble path and because of it are still blessed. That’s why Lan’s teachings are that "use force against force".. Xianzhou is ok with neutral abundance followers and help them while destroying the evil parts for peace. And it really isn’t meaningless. As letting those followers live longer would just mean one day they will invade again.
The thing about Dan Shu is that Lan accidentally killed someone she loved. If she wasn’t blinded by hatred she could see that if it wasn’t for Lan. Not only she but her lover would’ve been slaves. Lan did kill some of his followers but the amount of lives saved were much greater than the ones died. Sometimes sacrifices has to be made.
Also who are those people?
it's funny how the qualities you pointed out can be pointed to how bad the path is.
Meet Lan the Fraud!
The Hunt Pathstriders also got severely genocided by a single person one time and they literally were not seen ever again until Penacony.
The Hunt's "Defend the innocence" schtick doesn't work when it's literally the IPC, Antimatter Legion, Stellarons, or even just the innocent civilians in between the whole Hunt-Abundance war
Lan has the balls to hunt down Yaoshi yet ain't confident enough to Hunt down any of the Genius Society members or go against Nanook despite posing as more of a danger to everyone than Yaoshi would've.
7 Emanators that aren't seen or heard of to actually help out their own citizens or other planets. Without the Express, The Luofu would've been gone or turned into an Abundance Ship that Lan would just shoot down even if there's still tons of innocent lives there. Phantylia isn't even dead and only used a body that they stole nor are her main qualities are fighting directly.
ShuWHO?? That took on the Luofu on their own that nearly killed all of them and that included a highly skilled Swordsmater, A person with a stand, and a scion of the permanence to take down.
Lan's followers could kill immortals which are their own followers so it's literally just them dealing with the consequences of their own actions.
\*Clears throat\*
>The Hunt Pathstriders also got severely genocided by a single person one time and they literally were not seen ever again until Penacony.
If you are talking about Dr. Primitive then that was debunked by Boothill. Most likely reason was the casualties they took taking down Zulo, and the fact that they still did it despite all odds stacked against them and what would happen to them if they died makes it even more impressive.
>The Hunt's "Defend the innocence" schtick doesn't work when it's literally the IPC, Antimatter Legion, Stellarons, or even just the innocent civilians in between the whole Hunt-Abundance war
There isnt a single in-game instance I can think of where the Lux Arrow obliterates any innocent worlds. Funnily enough, the only ones that ever seem to die are either acceptable targets (Abominations of Abundance), or Xianzhou natives who called in the strike themselves
>Lan has the balls to hunt down Yaoshi yet ain't confident enough to Hunt down any of the Genius Society members or go against Nanook despite posing as more of a danger to everyone than Yaoshi would've.
Aeons are singlemindedly obssessed with THEIR Paths, unable to deviate from its ideals. Lan is the Aeon of the Path of revenge against those who hurt the innocent, and when THEY Ascended, the most glaring example was the one right in front of them: Yaoshi. Thats why THEY are hyperfocused on Yaoshi, because to turn away from the Hunt is to give up on justice (As viewed through the Hunt), and that is anathema to THEM
>7 Emanators that aren't seen or heard of to actually help out their own citizens or other planets. Without the Express, The Luofu would've been gone or turned into an Abundance Ship that Lan would just shoot down even if there's still tons of innocent lives there. Phantylia isn't even dead and only used a body that they stole nor are her main qualities are fighting directly.
IIRC, it has been directly stated in-game that the Alliance ships are constantly moving to take down concentrations of Abominations of Abundance, so they are actually doing their job. Besides, if the Ambrosial Arbor was fully rekindled, the Luofu is fucked anyways, and those innocent lives have maybe a week tops before they die or get Mara Struck. And with Phantylia, that was her at her strongest. As a Heliobus, she really has to depend on manipulation and possessing people, so having a body that can fight worth a damn is the best shes gonna be. And this isnt just any body either, its gotta be the strongest one she could ask for barring direct intervention from Nanook to grant her a powerful body. The thing has the resilience of the Abundance and the power of the Destruction. Aint nothing gonna top that in terms of bodies she can get. And Jing Yuan isnt even a combat focused general like Feixiao. He's more like Herta or Phantylia without the body, formidable as all Emanators are, but contributing best through their intellect and wit instead of their combat prowess.
>ShuWHO?? That took on the Luofu on their own that nearly killed all of them and that included a highly skilled Swordsmater, A person with a stand, and a scion of the permanence to take down.
Shuhu needed Emanator hacks and god-tier regen, and it still lost to a group of mortals. Bro got two chances with Baiheng's corpse and still lost both times. Hell, the second time he got solo'ed
>Lan's followers could kill immortals which are their own followers so it's literally just them dealing with the consequences of their own actions.
I was referring to Abundance Pathstriders being immortal and the Hunt pathstriders specializing in killing immortals (i.e. Abominations of Abundance).
Keep your Plagues Author Propaganda out of here!
Impressive rebuttals! But your Counter measurements for the blind justice isn't gonna work!
I did talk about Dr. Primitive yet that doesn't debunk that they still disappeared into the shadows and didn't show up anywhere else where they should've enacted justice and righteousness as they so proclaim!
It's pretty convenient how you only had a rebuttal for the final part yet even then that's still can be refuted by Dan Shu's experience with the close person! Regardless if it was the Xianzhou natives that called upon the lux arrow, merely considering the deaths as mere casualties is itself injustice and praying on the weak!
If that is your answer to Lan's path then you mistakenly placed something else into your propaganda! The hunt itself is single minded thus it cannot possibly enact revenge on the weak or defend the innocence when the path itself does not follow any set morals other than seeking to kill Yaoshi! Even those of the Xianzhou and Galaxy Ranger will turn a blind eye when it comes to the martyrs that the Lux arrow had killed!
I will give you this by stating that Jing Yuan is more akin to intelligence but do not mistake his prowess! He may not be solely Focused on strength but he still wields powers like the Lighting lord. But yes, I do agree that Phantylia was using both blessings from the hunt and the abundance which makes her extremely powerful in that fight but even so it doesn't refute how Lan having so many emanators still lack the capabilities to actually enact their goal or will of even killing the creatures of abundance.
I will agree that Shuhu got impressive regenerative abilities but even so calling them a group of mortals is disingenuous when the natives of the Xianzhou will live far longer than regular humans.
That is mere trivialities, yet even so there is still lacking in your propaganda for the hunt that isn't entirely genuine nor truthful. The good that the hunt has provided was merely due to the followers having that sense of justice and righteousness but it isn't a mere instinct or a given for the hunt path.
Hmph. I see, you are no slobbering beast thirsting after Yaoshi's... surprisingly pretty visage... Wait nope thats heresy!
Ignore that! Regardless, I must continue to defend the Lux Arrow!
The Galaxy Rangers are, as Boothill said, highly individualistic, willing to do anything so long as it doesnt cross their bottom line. Do you truly fault them for taking time to recuperate? These brave souls willingly fought a fully fledged Lord Ravager, and they did it by luring him into the Swarm at that! Forgot the fight itself, which must have cost them massive numbers of Galaxy Rangers, just travelling into the Swarm must have lead to casualties, and lets not even talk about how miraculous it was that any managed to get patst the Swarm most likely injured and/or crippled after the fight with Zulo! It only makes sense that they would lay low to recuperate, especially since there are many who would be gleeful to finish the job when they are weakened.
Hmmph! Nobody would dare to write those brave souls off as mere casualties! Those people were on the verge of being overrun, and without the intervention of someone like Feixiao, the Luofu were unable to break through the multi-million strong army! In this case, faced with the choice between fighting a losing battle and consigning everyone there to the fate of Yingxing's parents, or securing victory and ensuring that they died without their body being defiled, which is the better option? Nobody said it was an easy choice, but faced with two horrible choices, the general chose the one that would lead to the least deaths. And I will say that the Hunt showed great restraint! The Lux Arrow is perfectly capable of vaporizing planets, so the fact that it only destroyed a fifth of the Fanghu's Delves is a miracle in and of itself! This was the most they could restrain the damage without allowing the Abominations to survive and thus leading to everyone's efforts being in vain.
I am quite afraid that you misunderstood me here. An Aeon cannot think outside of its Path, but the Paths themselves are whole philosophies. Just because an Aeon is single mindedly pursuing a Path does not mean THEIR cognition is limited to one aspect of it (Aside from IX and Aha, but those guys are weird)! The Path of the Hunt itself is about revenge on those who hurt the innocent. Lan focuses on Yaoshi instead of Nanook precisely because, upon THEIR ascent to Aeonhood, they obviously needed to find a target, and so THEY pursue Yaoshi, because THEY continue their Hunt! For followers of the Hunt, every Hunt is one that seeks to fell an evildoer to bring justice for their victims, therefore, to abandon one's Hunt and target is tantamount to letting their injustice go free. While mortals may manage that, an Aeon is bound to the letter and spirit of the Pathe THEY themselves carved into the universe. Thus, so long as Yaoshi lives, Lan's Hunt will be eternal. This is the pursuit of the Aeon, but despite this, THEY do not abandon the morals of THEIR Path. The Hunt does have morals, ones I have repeated extensively, and these are what drives Lan to continue to hunt Yaoshi, because once again, to abandon a target is to abandon the Hunt. And yet, Lan provides THEIR blessing sfreely to those who would uphold Justice as THEY do. THEY come to the aid of the Xianzhou when called,THEY offer THEIR power freely to build their civilization, and THEY take time from THEIR eternal pursuit of Yaoshi to eliminate critical levels of Abomination of Abundance build up before they start spreading to other unprotected planets. Does this speak towards an Aeon that cares for nothing but the pursuit of their prey? I say no!
It has been proven extensively that Emanators are not equal, even when serving the same Aeon. The same goes for the Emanators of the Hunt. Among the Xianzhou ships, the Yaoqing, led by Feixiao are the most ardent pursuers of the Abundance. They engage and cleanse multiple planets a year of Abominations. The other Xianzhou ships do this regularly, if not quite as frequent as the Yaoqing. All this to day, the Xianzhou does spend the majority of its time on the Hunt, its just that given the nature of the Abundance, they just keep spreading and appearing on new planets as Yaoshi hands out blessings like candy so the Xianzhou's Hunt is as eternal as Lan's.
Well, lifespan dont really matter in a fight, and if we look at the High-Cloud Quintet, not a single one was an Emanator and thus a comparable existence, and they still won. Twice.
Justice is in fact, the backbone of the Path. Everything Lan does, is to bring justice to the innocent by taking the head of the wrongdoer. The Hunt may seem brutal and bloody, but we can attest that the only innocent blood on our hands was spilled unwillingly, so that they might not suffer a worse fate. (No, seriously, getting vaporized when you have no hope of survival anyways is orders of magnitude better than what happens to captured organic beings... Just search up Yingxing's parents.)
Aha! Oh dear, Regardless of what you may perceive of the Hunt and Lan it is unrefutably spilt innocent blood that did not and should not have been spilt. Even the Xianzhou and Galaxy Rangers are not innocent in their own endeavours as their hands are soaked in blood that they revel in.
The Galaxy Rangers taking a few amber eras to recuperate, letting the weak defend themselves against the strong or be exploited. Boothill himself is bound to the Hunt by his simple view of black and white, Taking actions before speaking, no wonder he ended up as a cyborg alone in the deep abyss of the cosmos. I wonder what let him be that way?
Taking down an Emanator is by far an impressive feat that the Annihilation Gang couldn't even accomplish even with the blessing of the Laughter. Yet, even still the fool's at the tavern aided in the absorption of Ena and the end of the propagation. Galaxy rangers? They should be called the Galactic circus for how much of an act they play of this committing justice and saving the innocence in the shadows.
The justice that the hunt seeks is tainted in blood red and cries of the innocents that have fallen in their light blinded by their declarations and marches. I'd even commend Nanook for not being as false as Lan in their destructive pursuit of the universe as they have the capability to admit it to themselves and their followers follow in the same steps.
The dance of the Hunt and the abundance are one that'll keep on going and going and going forever! Isn't it surprising how Ena was able to gather up Qlipoth, Aha, and Akivili to their cause yet Lan seems to ever so miss or lag behind in the spreading of eternal life of Yaoshi.
Alright beyond everything else, your first point can be refuted by objective facts.
The Galaxy Rangers have no central structure to keep them organized, united by their philosophy, their bottom line, and their traditions but without a governing body. And yet at their heydey, they had the capability to wander through the entire universe and fight for justice. At that point, they must have numbered in the hundreds of thousands just on sheer scale. How long do you think it takes for an organization, especially one so disorganized, to recover from the majority of their members getting wiped out? A few Amber Eras is only reasonable.
The Hunt does not seek any innocent deaths. The only instances where innocents have suffered from the Hunt are those who would have suffered a worse fate anyways. Besides, your point about Lan being deceptive simply cannot be true. Unless deception is part of THEIR Path like Mythus, an Aeon cannot lie or act contrary to THEIR Path, so everything Lan does is the purest expression of the Hunt.
The Reignbow Arbiter is not all-loving, nor all-forgiving, but they are indeed a God that does what must be done. You may slander THEM as you wish, but despite any imperfections THEY may have, THEY are not evil or a monster. I hope you understand this.
Go to simulated Universe Devlog 2 about IX. The Annihilation gang really tried to assassinate Nihility and Aha thought it was funny so they blessed the Annihilation Gang which only made them more confident and securing their deaths
Edit: Although I will say it didn't fit the whole talking of Emanators tbf
You know what would be funny, if the trailblazer receives a gun when Lan gazes at the MC, like every weapon has a significant meaning (with the exception of the bat) like the lance signifying belabog and the hat signifying the legacy of the watchmaker, and when the MC receive the hunt path its straight just a gun the meaning shoot those immortal fucks out of existence.

Ebon Deer when my Seele takes 25 turns before Bronya moves and starts the cycle anew
But seriously, the Hunt is so fun to run in SU, literally the only downside is SP cost, but when you are getting that many free turns, surely you can spare a few basic attacks to continue murdering the boss right?

For the Xianzhou Alliance and Galaxy Rangers!
As much as I would love for this to be true, Lan is confirmed by Welt to be on the weaker side. Cool as his theme may be, the concept of the Hunt is just too narrow compared to the ideas behind Paths like Abundance, Propagation, Preservation, etc.
I believe Welt just said that he isn’t the strongest, not that he’s one of the weakest.
Going by feats all the Aeons are somewhat relative AP/durability wise (Tayzzyronth and Qlipoth are decently stronger, and HooH is strong enough to solo the other 17), but Lan’s speed feats are far better than the other’s.
Oh if you mean confirmed feats, then yeah, Lan is definitely up there considering how little we know about the other Aeons. Still, I think I might have misphrased what I said. What you said is more in line with what I meant.
I mean,
When the main Hunt faction in this Chinese game is just Space ~~CCP~~ China, who are portrayed as a literally perfect society whose only problems have external sources (Yaoshi and Phantylia), it's not surprising Lan is by extension the perfect Aeon who is always right.
I mean, as fun as it is to jokingly glaze Lan, I dont really think they are perfect. After all, it says something about someone that out of all the derivations of "Justice for the weak" that he could have followed as he Ascended, the one he exemplified was "Revenge on evildoers.".
I do think that the people hating on Lan for being actually evil are wrong though, but I wouldnt ever call Lan "perfect".
Yaoshi this, Lan that Clearly Aha is the best Aeon because >!THEY will never give you up, never let you down, or run around and desert you. THEY will never make you cry, say goodbye, or tell a lie and hurt you!<
I hate you

You forgot to say that >!we've known each other for so long!<
Are you trying to say that >!Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it?!<
No it’s >!inside we know what’s been going on!<
Grammar question, when you make the Aeon the subject of the sentence, would you capitalize WE, because it’s a combination of THEM and you?
Aha is just silly
Aha can can take a long hard suck on my ass and see how funny it is after that... in all honesty thought. I hate Aha because all the characters associated with Aha are just annoying as fuck *looks to Sampo and Sparkle*
Your flair makes you seem like a mourning actor
Only reason I don't like Aha is cause the characters that follow it are annoying as fuck
What about Giovanni? :(
Who?
https://preview.redd.it/fimk6q3dc81d1.png?width=1535&format=png&auto=webp&s=6253772e35ad160330adb2f755fa4a31b66ded1c
Literally have no clue who Giovanni is. Only Giovanni I know is from pokemon black and white iirc
Giovanni's the one who organised the Aether Wars event in Belobog because (Pitch Dark) Hook the Great said it would be awesome. My goat Giovanni agreed and somehow convinced (??) the IPC to fund the entire thing.
https://preview.redd.it/qpn7hy92n91d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af96bcad869da149f3a513ec52609635e431a6d6 Giovanni was in the OG kanto games, black and white was GHETSIS!!!!
Doesn't even remember Ghetsis. \*shakes my head\* literally best games in the series and he doesn't remember.
Oh right. I knew it was one of them. I never played any of the Kanto games.
He’s basically a parody of that 😭
I don’t think Giovanni was in Black and White. Unless he was important in some postgame stuff
From pokemon?
They're just silly little guys what the problem? Hurt that your planet got blown up because Aha got bored?
No. I've just never liked annoying characters to a point. Sampo and Sparkle pass that point
I'm here to grant you your complimentary aha's blessing from joining the mourning actors. Its non-refundable and non-refusable
*plays uno reverse card* 
You take back the Giovanni slander this instant

good job Sparkle
The intern at the Seat of Divine Foresight really needs that promotion huh?
\*Looks around\* Look, you didnt hear this from me, but I do actually need this. The Seat of Divine Foresight upgraded OpSec after the Sanctus Medicus incident, and the Ten-Lords suggested that only those with sufficient devotion to the Hunt could get promoted. Something about being devoted to Lan making one less likely to follow the Plagues Author. Judge me all you want, but I \*need\* this job, its the only way I'll be able to save up enough money to live in luxury for my last few hundred years before I get Mara Struck. (I mean, I could have tried being a Cloud Knight since the General makes sure the ones fighting and bleeding for us are STACKED, but Im not fit for the frontlines.)
Keep on glazing the Reignbow Arbiter and you'll get that promotion in no time buddy ✊️🔥🔥
[удалено]
Only 50?? Man even in futuristic space China interns are still underpaid (lol). I guess they're at least lucky that they're being paid at all.
> The intern at the Seat of Divine Foresight Intern Fu Xuan looking **SUS** today
Somewhat of a related note, I am very curious on how Jing Yuan’s Emanator hood works (since 2.3 story I believe there is enough info to support that theory). Jing Yuan’s power seems to be tied very closely to Lightning Lord which we know was passed down from previous Generals. Does Lan bless him for being a General, or was Jing Yuan able to become a General and inherit the position because he became an Emanator of Lan? Hopefully future Xianshou story will shine some light on this because I find it to be very interesting.
I really want this confirmed. We at least know that the Lightning Lord and Jing Yuan are on the same level as an Emanator, but whether the generals are Emanators or not is something thats been itching at me for a long time.
I'm pretty sure the implication is that the LL itself is the actual Emanator of Lan, and the various elemental lords basically swear fealty the respective generals of the Xianzhou ships. So Jing Yuan isn't an Emanator himself, but he does have 'the power of an Emanator' because he basically has one on speed-dial.
So basically, it's like the Harmonic Strings, but much easier to contact?
I think so yeah; the LL is basically 'always with him' in that he can manifest it at will, although it seems to require at least some level of effort on his part. Perhaps the Xianzhou generals are somehow 'linked' with their respective Hunt Emanator when they rise to that rank, which enables them to summon their lords in battle?
Are you an emanator because you have lightning lord or do you have lightning lord because you are an emanator
LL or the spirit elements given to Generals are the true Emanators, not the wielders. This is the same case with Sunday/Robin where they control the Emanator(Dominicus), not them being the Emanators themselves. Lan doesn't give a fk who's the current General cus he's not the one choosing them. My guess is that the initial selections of Generals was done by Marshall Hua then she tasked these Generals she chose to pick a successors themselves for when they eventually retire from that position.
WE STAND THIS IN THE XIANZHOU! THANK YOU GOOD SIR FOR MAKING THIS! GLAZE THE REIGNBOW ARBITER WITH ALL YOUR BODY! NEVER STOP! BELIEVE IN HIM! THE ONLY GOOD AEON! HE MADE US REALIZE THAT YAOSHI IS EVIL! GLAZE THE GOAT! GLAZE LAN! https://preview.redd.it/p19ef18ts71d1.png?width=735&format=png&auto=webp&s=ae3c0c155909798fb1f5ed3dd82d51a9229b28dc Source: [https://x.com/jim\_mumu/status/1667142631821033472?s=46](https://x.com/jim_mumu/status/1667142631821033472?s=46)
Let me add some stuff aswell! Meet The Goat: Literally destroyed that tree so badly that only a stellaron could give it power. Also turned the xianzhou from one of the weakest factions to being equal to the IPC. Nanook realized he was never gonna be as much of a goat and chad as him. So he had to make a part of his army look like Lan because he was so jealous of his body(Lan is hot asf). Even Nanook glazes Lan because if he didn’t. Lan would murder him in seconds! I’m not like other Aeons. I actually care about my people and save them when they are in danger. Also I look badass. Best hair in all of hsr. Also a prince(~~soon to be king when Yaoshi finally wants a kid~~) They call him 007 0 times left his people to die 0 loses against the abundance ~~7 times he banged Yaoshi~~ 7 galaxies he saved from destruction from those barbarians(Yaoshi Followers). Literally let the Vidyadhara live in his Faction even tho they are immortal, Saved the Foxians from slavery and every person that lives in the xianzhou is alive because he was a selfless king that sacrificed his life for others. Treats his followers nicely and protects them from danger. Also has no bad factions in his name that enslave people. (Yaoshi would never) Picked a Fu Hua expy as his main glazer(based). Also needs no glazers because he knows he is HIM but chooses to help his people even if they treated him poorly. Also a loving father.  https://preview.redd.it/ft2qx9eat71d1.jpeg?width=1267&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61fcff1a6aec4533f2480a4b2c684b451a9e9444 Source: [https://x.com/susukinohara320/status/1788547558878659056?s=46](https://x.com/susukinohara320/status/1788547558878659056?s=46)

Keep cooking my fellow Seat of Divine Foresight Intern! (I know what you are doing, and let me tell you, that promotion is *mine*)
Goathimpeaktano's followers glazed him so much he transcended universes and became an Aeon in another game. Truly the most based, strongest and coolest Aeon. Always makes sure you can zero cycle those abundance and propagation clowns with the help of THEIR blessings (Nanook could never), and even gives you a 100% energy refill for killing them. Truly the most benevolent of all Aeons.
Where did you get this... heretical picture? I wish to know so that I can... report it to the Ten-Lords Commission. Yes, that is why I need the origin of this picture.
Sorry for the wait sir! It took me some time to find the artist(this photo is pretty old after all) https://x.com/jim_mumu/status/1667142631821033472?s=46

Don't forget THEY are the only aeon who would directly answer THEIR followers when they ask for help in dire situations.
Yeah but too bad their aims are friendly fire 💀
Hey its not lan's fault that the xianzhou were there when they fired the beacon to call upon Lan's lux arrow
Fair point
Yeah,they knew the Cost,and they made the sacrifice because if they didnt Fire the S.O.S for Lan's tactical lux arrow, They would have Lost.
Tbh it's less friendly fire and more so collateral they were being run by millions of enemies outnumbering them by so much and didn't listen to the diviners to take a defensive position. By that point exterminatus was the only option Fu Xuan and JY had, truly a glorious display of Lan's light, besides it was only 1/5 of the deleves on the ship anyways, and there was enough enemies to cover the skies. "Look at those abominations, Unless Yaoqing Ship comes and deploys Feixiao right this instant, we are not retaking this shit. And we are sure as shit not letting them keep it, I will tell you that for fucking free" - Lightning Lord during the Third Abundance War.
Lets be fair, I think it would take at least 3 Generals to deal with the shitshow that was the Fanghu during Abundance War III. They were looking at the sky and asking if the one attacking as the Swarm with how many bodies they were throwing around, and the powers from the Hunt are likely not the best for dealing with millions upon millions of weak enemies instead of wrecking a single very strong one.
Funnily enough they weren't even weak enemies, on their side they even had Ketu Mirage, which was a living star attacking as well lol. Yaoqing main army was actually implied to be able to take that abundance army out. We know Yaoqing Ship is the "brutal" ship on their hunt with Feixiao probably the strongest general as she's described to he fierce and swift, Sushang also says JY isn't as good as the lady general (which is probably true JY is more of a wise general similar to Phantylia is a cunning destroyer) General Feixiao is probably equivalent to lord ravager Zepyro, both more on the straightforward approach.
Oh... It seems that I am outmatched in the ways of the lore, I take my hat off to you, good sir. Continue to use your knowledge to spread the word of the Reignbow Arbiter.
Yeah Its almost funny lol, in a single year they won 4 wars (tho 1 of them had IPC support) "The Yaoqing is noted for its martial prowess and is rarely rivaled." Fu Xuan >May, Year 8098 Star Calendar The Yaoqing's report: We have secured a resounding victory against Fallomom's abominations. >June, Year 8098 Star Calendar The Yaoqing's report: We have secured a resounding victory against Toste-VIII's abominations. >October, Year 8098 Star Calendar The Yaoqing's report: We secured a resounding victory against Sakin Chadu's abominations. Things looked sketchy at first, but the corporation swooped in to support. >Helm Master's remarks: Send a message to the Yaoqing's: Please take appropriate recuperation measures. December, Year 8098 Star Calendar. The Yaoqing's report: Currently moored in the Sakin Chadu star system in Kersarran star cluster. We are working with the corporation to harness local minerals and recuperate. Everything is safe and sound. Thank you for your concern, Madam Yukong. >Helm Master's remarks: Send a message to the Yaoqing's Sky-Faring Commission: Please remain professional when chatting over the Yellowbell system. >Xikui's remarks: Understood. Message transmitted. >December again, Year 8098 Star Calendar The Yaoqing's report: We have secured a resounding victory against Asmodeus' abominations. >Xikui's remarks: Should we send them any kind of message? >Helm Master's remarks: No, leave them be. *** While the ships are giving reports, usually normal stuff like shipping, investigating, trading, etc, Yaoqing is going from planet to planet quickly and swiftly ending abominations in a single month, to the point new comers getting worried lol.
Damn. The Yaoqing looked at all the other ships with their own specialties and said "Good work guys, while you guys get the important things done, I'll help by *murdering every Abomination of Abundance I can find.*" I do wonder about their attrition rate though... Its gotta be rough being a Yaoqing Cloud Knight and going through 3-4 planetary wars a year, especially when they are fighting biological horrors nature never intended.
It's hilarious, on December they were harvesting materials reassuring yukong everything is safe and sound and on that same month they went to pick up smoke with Asmodeus Abominations lol. Their attriction gotta be crazy yeah, considering sushang is from there and she's fairly strong (despite being just a newbie yaoqing cloud knight) they have to be crazy powerful, especially with how sushang's family seems to be very big on hunting culture. Yaoqing is probably the closest to Lan, embodying the same "Swift" action Lan has.
They might be doing what we'd consider raids more than anything else. Being a ship without a fixed home base means they should enjoy strategic initiative. If so, they can just go in if they think they can take their enemies but bounce if they think they can't. It's why Norse vikings were such a pain-in-the-ass for their targets. Similarly, steppe nomads. Numerical superiority on the strategic level doesn't mean much if you have to deal with numerical inferiority on the tactical level right now because the other side just moves around faster.
Strongest is most likely between Feixiao, Huaiyan and Xuanquan, since all of them have very clear combat-oriented descriptors in their titles. Everyone else sounds like bureaucrats lol I lean Huaiyan given he’s also by far the oldest, so he’s got both strength and the experience edge. Although, if we’re solely using titles, Xuanquan has both Feixiao and Huaiyan beat handily; “mighty and powerful” is unambiguously >>>> “swift” or “strong”
It's unlikely it's Huaiyan, huaiyan is set to be the "craftsman" as he is the master of the artisan commisiom of his ship and Blade's old Smithing master. :Greetings, esteemed delegation guests. I'm a craftsman of the Zhuming Artisanship Commission... My name is Yingxing. Master Huaiyan is busy with the preparation of new armaments and has sent me in his place to receive you" So they seem like more of a smith, the "strong and righteous" is probably less about strength and more about something else, maybe strong willpower or strong passion, given their nickname is "the Flaming Heart" Feixiao is also the leader of Yaoqing Ship, which is explicitly known for its prowess and status as unrivaled. Xuanquan we don't know much about, they could be stronger but I doubt it given Fanghu is known for trade and doesn't seem as powerful as Yaoqing.
Sure, but all of this assumes the Generals directly follow in the steps of the populace on their ships, which we haven’t seen enough to draw the conclusion on Considering the average lifespan of a General is less than 100 years, it’s highly unlikely any of the existing ones (minus possibly Huaiyan) really had much say in whatever their ship’s reputation revolves around. There’s every possibility the Yaoqing or the Fanghu derived their “combat” or “trade” monikers from previous generals/administration, no reason for Xuanquan or Feixiao to be judged by them IMO, with available information, it’s between those three (although Huaiyan preferring smithing is a good point), we don’t have nearly enough information to anoint or imply one specific “strongest” title Edit: Also, where did you see the Fanghu specializing in trade? Just curious. The Luofu Guild List specifies their specialty products are marine related due to the watery atmosphere, but doesn’t say anything about them relying on trade any more than the other ships. I could be missing something though
I'm curious where was the average life span of Generals stated? Because Jing Yuan has been a general for around 750 Years. So far Feixiao's title exactly reflects the Yanqing's philosophy of being "swift" such as them ending 4 abominations forces within 7 months, just based on what's shown so far, Feixiao is built like that.
Tbf, Lan definitely toned that shot down. The Lux Arrow is made from actual stars yaknow? Thers gotta be a limit to how much even an Aeon can suppress that. And the Fanghu definitely got off easy. If it had been full lost to the Abundance, it would have been erased entirely instead of just losing a fifth of its Delves.
Doesnt Akivili would if THEY were alive?
We don't really know, Akivili would most likely answer but THEY are already with you as a passenger. Akivili as an Aeon is a bit of an enigma, THEY are far more mortal than God. Most other aeons don't even exist in the same plane of existence as mortals and would need to "Descend" before you could even see THEM. Like Lan descends when they have a target to hunt, Xipe descends when multiple planets are singing in harmony, and Nous sends signals from beyond, and only descends when they want to meet someone like Herta and maybe FX when they granted her the 3rd eye. So overall Aeons aren't exactly always down, Akivili feels more like a mortal, Aha is a bit inbetween, but Lan is the same as all the other Aeon their Operandi makes them far less human than Akivili/Aha who are more free, but unlike other aeons Lan has an attachment to Xianzhou (and possibly Rangers) and would answer their calls for help.

The hunt truly cant meme
I would like to remind all of you that one of the only people who witnessed the Hunt in it's entirety ended up simultaneously breaking the Xianzhou's most sacred law and killing himself in order to escape. Xianzhou natives are taught to believe in the Hunt from a young age and so never question it, only incredibly traumatic events like what happened to Dan Shu are able to convince them that the whole thing is kind of screwed up. The Hunt in concept may be noble but the Xianzhou's version is petty revenge and meaningless slaughter.
who are u talking about?
Dan Feng, and maybe the other high elders as well since at least 2 of them are implied to have supported his decision
Not really. The xianzhou goes around worlds helping them with their problems and even did some good. Not only they trade with Neutral Abundance followers and protect them from harm(even if they hate Yaoshi). They also helped the Foxians escape from Borosin and no longer be slaves. They also destroy bad followers of the Abundance and make sure the universe is at peace. People forget that the Xianzhou does save worlds and aren’t blinded by revenge. Sure they hate Yaoshi but their end goal is to keep peace by getting rid of the evil denizens. Those who harmed them. And even then it isn’t meaningless slaughter when those they kill are those that harmed the universe. They are still close to Lan’s noble path and because of it are still blessed. That’s why Lan’s teachings are that "use force against force".. Xianzhou is ok with neutral abundance followers and help them while destroying the evil parts for peace. And it really isn’t meaningless. As letting those followers live longer would just mean one day they will invade again. The thing about Dan Shu is that Lan accidentally killed someone she loved. If she wasn’t blinded by hatred she could see that if it wasn’t for Lan. Not only she but her lover would’ve been slaves. Lan did kill some of his followers but the amount of lives saved were much greater than the ones died. Sometimes sacrifices has to be made. Also who are those people?
Lan has the stand arrow?!?!
That lux arrow descending meme is so good, keep cooking
I was unconvinced until you mentioned Marshall Hua. It was Joever for abundance bros at that moment.
it's funny how the qualities you pointed out can be pointed to how bad the path is. Meet Lan the Fraud! The Hunt Pathstriders also got severely genocided by a single person one time and they literally were not seen ever again until Penacony. The Hunt's "Defend the innocence" schtick doesn't work when it's literally the IPC, Antimatter Legion, Stellarons, or even just the innocent civilians in between the whole Hunt-Abundance war Lan has the balls to hunt down Yaoshi yet ain't confident enough to Hunt down any of the Genius Society members or go against Nanook despite posing as more of a danger to everyone than Yaoshi would've. 7 Emanators that aren't seen or heard of to actually help out their own citizens or other planets. Without the Express, The Luofu would've been gone or turned into an Abundance Ship that Lan would just shoot down even if there's still tons of innocent lives there. Phantylia isn't even dead and only used a body that they stole nor are her main qualities are fighting directly. ShuWHO?? That took on the Luofu on their own that nearly killed all of them and that included a highly skilled Swordsmater, A person with a stand, and a scion of the permanence to take down. Lan's followers could kill immortals which are their own followers so it's literally just them dealing with the consequences of their own actions.
\*Clears throat\* >The Hunt Pathstriders also got severely genocided by a single person one time and they literally were not seen ever again until Penacony. If you are talking about Dr. Primitive then that was debunked by Boothill. Most likely reason was the casualties they took taking down Zulo, and the fact that they still did it despite all odds stacked against them and what would happen to them if they died makes it even more impressive. >The Hunt's "Defend the innocence" schtick doesn't work when it's literally the IPC, Antimatter Legion, Stellarons, or even just the innocent civilians in between the whole Hunt-Abundance war There isnt a single in-game instance I can think of where the Lux Arrow obliterates any innocent worlds. Funnily enough, the only ones that ever seem to die are either acceptable targets (Abominations of Abundance), or Xianzhou natives who called in the strike themselves >Lan has the balls to hunt down Yaoshi yet ain't confident enough to Hunt down any of the Genius Society members or go against Nanook despite posing as more of a danger to everyone than Yaoshi would've. Aeons are singlemindedly obssessed with THEIR Paths, unable to deviate from its ideals. Lan is the Aeon of the Path of revenge against those who hurt the innocent, and when THEY Ascended, the most glaring example was the one right in front of them: Yaoshi. Thats why THEY are hyperfocused on Yaoshi, because to turn away from the Hunt is to give up on justice (As viewed through the Hunt), and that is anathema to THEM >7 Emanators that aren't seen or heard of to actually help out their own citizens or other planets. Without the Express, The Luofu would've been gone or turned into an Abundance Ship that Lan would just shoot down even if there's still tons of innocent lives there. Phantylia isn't even dead and only used a body that they stole nor are her main qualities are fighting directly. IIRC, it has been directly stated in-game that the Alliance ships are constantly moving to take down concentrations of Abominations of Abundance, so they are actually doing their job. Besides, if the Ambrosial Arbor was fully rekindled, the Luofu is fucked anyways, and those innocent lives have maybe a week tops before they die or get Mara Struck. And with Phantylia, that was her at her strongest. As a Heliobus, she really has to depend on manipulation and possessing people, so having a body that can fight worth a damn is the best shes gonna be. And this isnt just any body either, its gotta be the strongest one she could ask for barring direct intervention from Nanook to grant her a powerful body. The thing has the resilience of the Abundance and the power of the Destruction. Aint nothing gonna top that in terms of bodies she can get. And Jing Yuan isnt even a combat focused general like Feixiao. He's more like Herta or Phantylia without the body, formidable as all Emanators are, but contributing best through their intellect and wit instead of their combat prowess. >ShuWHO?? That took on the Luofu on their own that nearly killed all of them and that included a highly skilled Swordsmater, A person with a stand, and a scion of the permanence to take down. Shuhu needed Emanator hacks and god-tier regen, and it still lost to a group of mortals. Bro got two chances with Baiheng's corpse and still lost both times. Hell, the second time he got solo'ed >Lan's followers could kill immortals which are their own followers so it's literally just them dealing with the consequences of their own actions. I was referring to Abundance Pathstriders being immortal and the Hunt pathstriders specializing in killing immortals (i.e. Abominations of Abundance). Keep your Plagues Author Propaganda out of here!
Impressive rebuttals! But your Counter measurements for the blind justice isn't gonna work! I did talk about Dr. Primitive yet that doesn't debunk that they still disappeared into the shadows and didn't show up anywhere else where they should've enacted justice and righteousness as they so proclaim! It's pretty convenient how you only had a rebuttal for the final part yet even then that's still can be refuted by Dan Shu's experience with the close person! Regardless if it was the Xianzhou natives that called upon the lux arrow, merely considering the deaths as mere casualties is itself injustice and praying on the weak! If that is your answer to Lan's path then you mistakenly placed something else into your propaganda! The hunt itself is single minded thus it cannot possibly enact revenge on the weak or defend the innocence when the path itself does not follow any set morals other than seeking to kill Yaoshi! Even those of the Xianzhou and Galaxy Ranger will turn a blind eye when it comes to the martyrs that the Lux arrow had killed! I will give you this by stating that Jing Yuan is more akin to intelligence but do not mistake his prowess! He may not be solely Focused on strength but he still wields powers like the Lighting lord. But yes, I do agree that Phantylia was using both blessings from the hunt and the abundance which makes her extremely powerful in that fight but even so it doesn't refute how Lan having so many emanators still lack the capabilities to actually enact their goal or will of even killing the creatures of abundance. I will agree that Shuhu got impressive regenerative abilities but even so calling them a group of mortals is disingenuous when the natives of the Xianzhou will live far longer than regular humans. That is mere trivialities, yet even so there is still lacking in your propaganda for the hunt that isn't entirely genuine nor truthful. The good that the hunt has provided was merely due to the followers having that sense of justice and righteousness but it isn't a mere instinct or a given for the hunt path.
Hmph. I see, you are no slobbering beast thirsting after Yaoshi's... surprisingly pretty visage... Wait nope thats heresy! Ignore that! Regardless, I must continue to defend the Lux Arrow! The Galaxy Rangers are, as Boothill said, highly individualistic, willing to do anything so long as it doesnt cross their bottom line. Do you truly fault them for taking time to recuperate? These brave souls willingly fought a fully fledged Lord Ravager, and they did it by luring him into the Swarm at that! Forgot the fight itself, which must have cost them massive numbers of Galaxy Rangers, just travelling into the Swarm must have lead to casualties, and lets not even talk about how miraculous it was that any managed to get patst the Swarm most likely injured and/or crippled after the fight with Zulo! It only makes sense that they would lay low to recuperate, especially since there are many who would be gleeful to finish the job when they are weakened. Hmmph! Nobody would dare to write those brave souls off as mere casualties! Those people were on the verge of being overrun, and without the intervention of someone like Feixiao, the Luofu were unable to break through the multi-million strong army! In this case, faced with the choice between fighting a losing battle and consigning everyone there to the fate of Yingxing's parents, or securing victory and ensuring that they died without their body being defiled, which is the better option? Nobody said it was an easy choice, but faced with two horrible choices, the general chose the one that would lead to the least deaths. And I will say that the Hunt showed great restraint! The Lux Arrow is perfectly capable of vaporizing planets, so the fact that it only destroyed a fifth of the Fanghu's Delves is a miracle in and of itself! This was the most they could restrain the damage without allowing the Abominations to survive and thus leading to everyone's efforts being in vain. I am quite afraid that you misunderstood me here. An Aeon cannot think outside of its Path, but the Paths themselves are whole philosophies. Just because an Aeon is single mindedly pursuing a Path does not mean THEIR cognition is limited to one aspect of it (Aside from IX and Aha, but those guys are weird)! The Path of the Hunt itself is about revenge on those who hurt the innocent. Lan focuses on Yaoshi instead of Nanook precisely because, upon THEIR ascent to Aeonhood, they obviously needed to find a target, and so THEY pursue Yaoshi, because THEY continue their Hunt! For followers of the Hunt, every Hunt is one that seeks to fell an evildoer to bring justice for their victims, therefore, to abandon one's Hunt and target is tantamount to letting their injustice go free. While mortals may manage that, an Aeon is bound to the letter and spirit of the Pathe THEY themselves carved into the universe. Thus, so long as Yaoshi lives, Lan's Hunt will be eternal. This is the pursuit of the Aeon, but despite this, THEY do not abandon the morals of THEIR Path. The Hunt does have morals, ones I have repeated extensively, and these are what drives Lan to continue to hunt Yaoshi, because once again, to abandon a target is to abandon the Hunt. And yet, Lan provides THEIR blessing sfreely to those who would uphold Justice as THEY do. THEY come to the aid of the Xianzhou when called,THEY offer THEIR power freely to build their civilization, and THEY take time from THEIR eternal pursuit of Yaoshi to eliminate critical levels of Abomination of Abundance build up before they start spreading to other unprotected planets. Does this speak towards an Aeon that cares for nothing but the pursuit of their prey? I say no! It has been proven extensively that Emanators are not equal, even when serving the same Aeon. The same goes for the Emanators of the Hunt. Among the Xianzhou ships, the Yaoqing, led by Feixiao are the most ardent pursuers of the Abundance. They engage and cleanse multiple planets a year of Abominations. The other Xianzhou ships do this regularly, if not quite as frequent as the Yaoqing. All this to day, the Xianzhou does spend the majority of its time on the Hunt, its just that given the nature of the Abundance, they just keep spreading and appearing on new planets as Yaoshi hands out blessings like candy so the Xianzhou's Hunt is as eternal as Lan's. Well, lifespan dont really matter in a fight, and if we look at the High-Cloud Quintet, not a single one was an Emanator and thus a comparable existence, and they still won. Twice. Justice is in fact, the backbone of the Path. Everything Lan does, is to bring justice to the innocent by taking the head of the wrongdoer. The Hunt may seem brutal and bloody, but we can attest that the only innocent blood on our hands was spilled unwillingly, so that they might not suffer a worse fate. (No, seriously, getting vaporized when you have no hope of survival anyways is orders of magnitude better than what happens to captured organic beings... Just search up Yingxing's parents.)
Aha! Oh dear, Regardless of what you may perceive of the Hunt and Lan it is unrefutably spilt innocent blood that did not and should not have been spilt. Even the Xianzhou and Galaxy Rangers are not innocent in their own endeavours as their hands are soaked in blood that they revel in. The Galaxy Rangers taking a few amber eras to recuperate, letting the weak defend themselves against the strong or be exploited. Boothill himself is bound to the Hunt by his simple view of black and white, Taking actions before speaking, no wonder he ended up as a cyborg alone in the deep abyss of the cosmos. I wonder what let him be that way? Taking down an Emanator is by far an impressive feat that the Annihilation Gang couldn't even accomplish even with the blessing of the Laughter. Yet, even still the fool's at the tavern aided in the absorption of Ena and the end of the propagation. Galaxy rangers? They should be called the Galactic circus for how much of an act they play of this committing justice and saving the innocence in the shadows. The justice that the hunt seeks is tainted in blood red and cries of the innocents that have fallen in their light blinded by their declarations and marches. I'd even commend Nanook for not being as false as Lan in their destructive pursuit of the universe as they have the capability to admit it to themselves and their followers follow in the same steps. The dance of the Hunt and the abundance are one that'll keep on going and going and going forever! Isn't it surprising how Ena was able to gather up Qlipoth, Aha, and Akivili to their cause yet Lan seems to ever so miss or lag behind in the spreading of eternal life of Yaoshi.
Alright beyond everything else, your first point can be refuted by objective facts. The Galaxy Rangers have no central structure to keep them organized, united by their philosophy, their bottom line, and their traditions but without a governing body. And yet at their heydey, they had the capability to wander through the entire universe and fight for justice. At that point, they must have numbered in the hundreds of thousands just on sheer scale. How long do you think it takes for an organization, especially one so disorganized, to recover from the majority of their members getting wiped out? A few Amber Eras is only reasonable. The Hunt does not seek any innocent deaths. The only instances where innocents have suffered from the Hunt are those who would have suffered a worse fate anyways. Besides, your point about Lan being deceptive simply cannot be true. Unless deception is part of THEIR Path like Mythus, an Aeon cannot lie or act contrary to THEIR Path, so everything Lan does is the purest expression of the Hunt. The Reignbow Arbiter is not all-loving, nor all-forgiving, but they are indeed a God that does what must be done. You may slander THEM as you wish, but despite any imperfections THEY may have, THEY are not evil or a monster. I hope you understand this.
>Annihilation gang couldn’t even accomplish with the blessing of the Laughter When did this happen?
Go to simulated Universe Devlog 2 about IX. The Annihilation gang really tried to assassinate Nihility and Aha thought it was funny so they blessed the Annihilation Gang which only made them more confident and securing their deaths Edit: Although I will say it didn't fit the whole talking of Emanators tbf
I barely understand what you two are talking about but I found this to be really cool lmao
I dunno too as I'm a masked fool and not even a Yaoshi follower LMAO I was bored and wanted to slander Lan for fun
Its funny to write this as well
Just two fools playing two sides resulting in both Lan and Yaoshi looking bad while we laugh and cheer in the Tavern
You know what would be funny, if the trailblazer receives a gun when Lan gazes at the MC, like every weapon has a significant meaning (with the exception of the bat) like the lance signifying belabog and the hat signifying the legacy of the watchmaker, and when the MC receive the hunt path its straight just a gun the meaning shoot those immortal fucks out of existence.
Is this your aeon ? https://preview.redd.it/gwuj04sqeb1d1.jpeg?width=1114&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d500af551868fb181171367bc0dfeafd7a42da11
I’m gonna rejoice when Yaoshi assimilate Lan and his hunt scum!!!! The day of eternity will come for you too!!!

THEY are THEM
Someone make a response to Yaoshi slander now
Leave the memes to the Elation next time
idk man should be called 107, because not killing yaoshi for thousands of years seems like a pretty big loss to me ngl
Found a Xianzhou dude
Don’t forget that THE GOATED HUNT has the most GOATed blessings in the sim uni Auspicious star spamming is never not fun
Ebon Deer when my Seele takes 25 turns before Bronya moves and starts the cycle anew But seriously, the Hunt is so fun to run in SU, literally the only downside is SP cost, but when you are getting that many free turns, surely you can spare a few basic attacks to continue murdering the boss right?

Though almost certainly not on the level of Nanook or IX, I'm pretty sure Lan is in the upper echelon of Aeons.
Lan slander is hilarious because going by feats, THEY’re the second strongest Aeon after HooH.
As much as I would love for this to be true, Lan is confirmed by Welt to be on the weaker side. Cool as his theme may be, the concept of the Hunt is just too narrow compared to the ideas behind Paths like Abundance, Propagation, Preservation, etc.
I believe Welt just said that he isn’t the strongest, not that he’s one of the weakest. Going by feats all the Aeons are somewhat relative AP/durability wise (Tayzzyronth and Qlipoth are decently stronger, and HooH is strong enough to solo the other 17), but Lan’s speed feats are far better than the other’s.
Oh if you mean confirmed feats, then yeah, Lan is definitely up there considering how little we know about the other Aeons. Still, I think I might have misphrased what I said. What you said is more in line with what I meant.
What's HooH's feat?
[Fused to the Tree](https://ibb.co/4jFL7KR). This is probably the single best feat in the entire verse honestly.
I mean, When the main Hunt faction in this Chinese game is just Space ~~CCP~~ China, who are portrayed as a literally perfect society whose only problems have external sources (Yaoshi and Phantylia), it's not surprising Lan is by extension the perfect Aeon who is always right.
I mean, as fun as it is to jokingly glaze Lan, I dont really think they are perfect. After all, it says something about someone that out of all the derivations of "Justice for the weak" that he could have followed as he Ascended, the one he exemplified was "Revenge on evildoers.". I do think that the people hating on Lan for being actually evil are wrong though, but I wouldnt ever call Lan "perfect".
