Baiheng is probably still lives, in one of the daily assignment for exp material called "Nameless Land, Nameless People", its mention that the one putting the assignment is "Baiheng, Foxian Traveler". So she probably choose to follow the Trailblazing path after the group disbanded

another fact is, at the glass-toasting scene, it's shown that Yingxing is wearing the dragon bracer. The dragon bracer, as per mentioned in Passerby of Wandering Cloud set, it is said that the bracer came in a pair. If the owner give one of the bracer to other person, they are destined to meet again, and even can feel each other's warmth. The Bracer, in fact, wore by someone strong, someone who used to drink under the moon together with someone who wields a spear. The owner of the other pair, was no one than the spear-wielder. Interpret this anything you want, I've said what I want to say. Hehe.

[@josejulio3297]

Yeah they were lovers thats why Dan Feng didn't want Bladie to die. And so.. gave him immortality.

[@dontshitontravelermains5498]

Been waiting for someone to also point out this fact too lol, and to add even more detail: you can also see how Yingxing and Dan Feng having the matching earrings, Yingxing have one on the left ear while Dan Feng have one on the right ear.

[@eeveeofalltrades4780]

So that's how Blade is always able to find Dan Heng

[@Suraito81586]

The Dragon Bracer made by Yingyue Jun given to Yingxing is currently worn by Danheng (4 star) as shown on his left arm in his playable character model. Blade still wears/keeps the other half which is how he managed to hunt him down and kill him countless of times across the universe. What's also a little interesting is that both Danheng and Blade are immortal, and no matter how many times they have killed each other (one for self-defence, one to make the other "pay the price"), they always come back and the cycle repeats. There is nowhere to run, as show in their shared lightcone...

[@noya3741]

@@Suraito81586you said that they have killed each other multiple of times but I believe it’s just danheng killing blade multiple times, I think the nowhere to hide lightcone says smth abt dh running his spear through blade (most likely killing him) and blade was unable to kill danheng all the time since if he succeeded danheng would not be danheng anymore

[@catz_ee]

We know that the actual details of Dan Feng's crime was the use of the Transmutation Arcanum. We also know that originally, when the Vidyadhara still had a homeworld, they could alter other living beings at will. This led to them eventually destroying their planet, and the revocation of most of their powers as a species, to be only used by the High Elders who were the wisest of them. Dan Feng and Yingxing were really close (implied maybe even lovers?), and I think that Dan Feng used this Transmutation Arcanum to make Yingxing truly immortal, unable to die of old age or even injuries. However, as this is the domain of the Plague's Author, it was one of the ten unpardonable sins, so they were both exiled/imprisoned. Over the years, Yingxing went insane longing for an end to his long life and became Blade, while Dan Feng underwent the rebirth process and became Dan Heng, who no longer has any memories of his past, yet was still locked in the shackling prison for an unknown amount of time. Additionally, I think that the use of the Arcanum must have had some other cost to make Blade so hellbent on revenge. I really hope we find out more about their story in the upcoming update!

[@goldenxingyue07]

There is collectable documents inside the palace of astrum, literally diaries about baiheng, where she came to Xianzhou Zhuming to do a delegation to request for arms and reinforcements, and she met the young yingxing and general huaiyan

[@RedCoreX725]

There's a theory saying that Baiheng is dead but was reincarnated through the Vindiyadhara reincarnation cycle thus Bailu was born. It could be one of Dan feng's previous sins as he made a mortal immortal (Blade/Yinxing) and reincarnated Baiheng (possibly using his bone marrow or something like that so that's why his species chose Bailu since she may have inherited Dan Feng high elder genes through the process) Bailu is also the only one of her kind who never had a dream of her previous life. But eventually she would get one but somehow the dream she got was about a Foxian girl traveling across the universe.

There is a high chance Jingliu was quickly mara struck since i can’t imagine a sane person relentlessly torturing their trusted comrade of many years even with jingliu’s reputation. Extreme negative emotions is prime fuel for mara.

Baiheng(Bailu) was kill if not mortally wounded. And Dan Feng used a portion of his High Elder power to try and bring her back. The first attempt at bringing her back failed and in her place an abomination was created. The entire Xianzhou had to mobilise in order to bring her down, but in the process countless lives were lost. Jingliu in her grief at seeing her in such a sorry state, was emotionally destroyed and swore vengeance at Dan Feng. Baiheng(Bailu) Dan Feng Jing Yuan Jingliu Blade The Cloud Quintet

Actually is already confirmed Bai Heng "died" when she piloted the spacecraft carrying Dan Feng together that time, it's in Dan heng's IL information section which what was left of her was drops of blood and few strains of her hair but no body. Also theory on X in a thread that Bailu is actually Bai Heng's reincarnation which many clues is pointing to it especially in their names the "Bai'. In which another theory suggests, Dan Feng was devastated that Bai Heng 'died' so he performed the ritual to revive her back but since it failed it gave birth to Bailu instead

[@FonKard]

Baiheng is dead for sure, but there is one theory according to which Bailu might be a reincarnation of Baiheng. This became possible due to Dan Feng grave sin in which not only Blade became immortal. Also we can find a "memory of a past" in one of the eggs in new location (forgot how it calls), where if I remember right Jing Liu kills chimera that probably is reincarnated Baiheng and also due to this Bailu, while being a dragon, doesnt has ANY memories of he r past lives, since its her first life in this appearence

[@toufusoup]

Another little small but unrelated detail that I’m unsure if intentional but Stelle is the one that’s chosen to appear in the background rather than Caelus 🤔

[@vanessachowjiaying4423]

I guess this was meant to balance out the gender selection in their other game Genshin. In Genshin's official KZbin channel, the trailers and cinematics uses Aether, so Star Rail chooses Stelle to balance out. Keep in mind likely a majority of Genshin players played/watched Star Rail.

[@dontshitontravelermains5498]

That just means Hoyoverse officially choosing her to be the poster mc of this game just like Aether to Genshin.

[@leticiafire9385]

Yes. The chosen "main" MC in genshin Impact is Aether (thats why Lumine is shown as abyss princess) and in Starrail it is Stelle. Its easier to advertise if there is one "main" character.

[@ztails]

I'm pretty sure it's just advertising strategy just like they do with Aether in Genshin. Both the mcs in both games are both the mc, but hoyoverse will most likely advertise one over the other to just for advertisement purposes. It's pretty common in games like star rail In Genshin we see Aether advertised more over Lumine, but that doesn't mean Aether is the cannon mc In star rail Stella is advertised more over caleus, but that doesn't means Stella is the cannon mc Both Stella and Caleus and Aether and Lumine are all the cannon mc. It just your preference in who you want to play as.

[@fishbol478]

it's actually because they alternate between the two of them. last patch you'll notice that caelus was shown for the trailer. so this path it's stelle's turn. they're not actually choosing, they're just alternating them each patch. plus we've only gotten like 3 patches now so i'm pretty sure in the long run we'll notice how they alternate them more.

wait when did jingliu train blade by killing him and all? was it after they got exiled when dan feng made him immortal? like what happened first, jingliu becoming stricken with mara or dan feng making yingxing inmmortal?

[@anaplaysstuff]

It was after he was made immortal. If you read Blade's character story stuff in his profile it talks about how he was killed over and over again. I don't think it explicitly says there that it was Jingliu doing it but I'm pretty sure it's mentioned somewhere else that it was her who did it to him.

[@Julia_Lopez]

@@anaplaysstuff so an approximate timeline of the quintet’s demise could be jingliu becoming stricken w mara then blade somehow dying or getting hurt enough for dan feng to make him immortal then both being ‘banished’ then jingliu training blade perhaps in secret somewhere still on the xianzhou then blade pursuing dan heng and finally the current events? sorry im just confused cause pre-mara jingliu doesnt seem like the type of person who would torture the way she trained yingxing/blade

[@alyssamariexv]

So, regarding Dan Feng turning into Dan Heng and Yixing turning into Blade... then what does that mean? Are those people of different bodies? Did Dan Feng/Yixing die and then Dan Heng/Blade was born after (since there's the reincarnation thingy)? Or are Dan Feng/Yixing of the same body as Dan Heng/Blade, wherein Dan Heng/Blade just formed out of nowhere and got the consciousness of their previous reincarnation? (Sorry for the long question, I'm just curious XD)

[@aa-yy1oc]

What I’ve gathered is that Dan Heng has a new body due to being the reincarnation of Dan Feng, hence him having little memory of his past. Blade seems to be in the same body, just that he’s now immortal and has gone a bit insane due to Jingliu “killing” him over and over again.

[@StranglerSix]

There's a CN theory that claims Bailu is the reincarnation of Baiheng. I'm not too sure about all the details, but their appearances are similar. Bailu being the High Elder must have something to do with Dan Feng's sin that forced her to become the successor. Jing Yuan regularly visits Bailu bringing food, which is suspected to be Baiheng's favorites in the past. She also doesn't dream, but when she came in contact with the Astral Express, she experienced visions of adventuring. Baiheng was a member of the Nameless who ventured different planets. Those are mostly the pieces I remember.

[@vagueeeee139]

Many people still don't know that the "blade" of blade is not his no? It was Jingliu's when she was the sword champion. Jingliu just used that said blade to kill its owner or yinqing, no one actually knows that but I guess the past of blade was the one who was slaughtered by that same blade used by Jingliu.

📚🔍 Blade's shard sword was originally made for Jingliu. It was gifted to her and she used to weild it. It's the only Quintet weapon he took back and now weilds himself. Also: The Passerby's Roaming Dragon Bracer passage that speaks of *3 individuals: spear weilder* (Dan Feng), *unnamed* (Blade), *& beloved* (Jingliu) is likely the origin story of how they *became the 3 sinners.* It tells how 3 individuals were pushed into an *"abyss of eternal"* (with "eternal" signifying immortality) *"hatred and remorse"* due to the stubbornness of the spear weilder Dan Feng.

can someone please explain to me why Dan Feng was mad at Dan Heng in this short? even though it was Dan Feng who committed the crime (as far as I understand)

[@jena5026]

Very simplified but Dan Feng believes that his next reincarnation (Dan Heng) should also bear the weight of Dan Feng’s sins. Another way of putting it is that Dan Feng believes that all reincarnations are the same person whereas Dan Heng believes that all reincarnations are all entirely different people.

@dancingkeomi The reason he is mad is because he broke the long-standing tradition / ritual of their kind (I can't spell the dragon species name). It also may be Dan Feng's grief/guilt coming together to attack the current Dan Heng because of not truly believing that he regretted the choices he made as Dan Feng. In the description of the original video, there's a passage about how Dan Feng used to dream of life outside of just continuing the cycle of death and rebirth as the high elder of his species. Except when he did dream of that, he always felt out of place because he could only ever see himself as a dragon, not as a person let alone an individual separate from their duties and role. Yet, one day, it all changed and he was given a second chance in a sense by having a forced rebirth that wiped almost all of his memories as Dan Feng. Which led to his current person today: Dan Heng. Someone who is fully their own person and is wrestling back the control they should have had the first time they were born.

@@jena5026 aaa okay, thank you 💙

[@dontshitontravelermains5498]

It’s either what both two replies commented on or it simply have something to do with Dan Heng being an unreliable narrator once again which make Dan Feng in this animation looks like a whole villain (a reminder again that Dan Heng don’t know the full story of Dan Feng yet and only painted him based on what preceptors said which… most of them are barely positive)

[@dancingkeomi]

@@dontshitontravelermains5498 yeah that's what I thought too. like it's Dan Heng's interpretation of Dan Feng based on his own knowledge of the past. but since he gained his memories back, it kinda doesn't make sense?

[@Cloudshake]

WHAT HAPPEND TO TINGYUN TELL ME NOW.

[@krys9463]

This is probably way into the future but I wonder if the MC will end up getting Baiheng's recurve bow as a weapon when they gain the power of the Hunt? This is just a random thought though, and it only came up because I kind of assume MC will get a bow like Lan when they gain the power of the Hunt. (Also the spear belongs to Alisa Rand, so maybe they'll get all their weapons from notable figures) Anyway this is so far the saddest story HSR, all them were good friends but then everything changed after the actions of one person, now their either strangers or enemies.

[@Igraphi7335]

That will be make sense since baiheng were normal foxian traveler like now we are as TL but Aeon a LAN make her a gift to give her weapon bow. And this bow were enough powerfull to defeat yaoshi mara struck.

[@pj6557]

made me feel feels, otherwise great video!

[@wlcx149]

blade said 5 people so maybe he included himself

[@gapple303]

Interesting

[@gogetafour2126]

*So like, that guy is Blade right? He is old.. until the he becomes mara-struck and is able to heal. Possibly from time itself? Would explain his skill with a sword being on par with someone who has wielded one for a whole lifetime.* Plus the earring and hair cut is Blade. So yeah. 5 star Old Blade when?

[@sahinaminsil]

Wait ?! What's Jingliu's reason for paying the price?! Didn't understand the lore😅

[@aryapratama5648]

Basically Jingliu killing Yingxing countless time, we still don't know why

[@cookizilla1772]

She used Blade as a training dummy by stabbing him in the heart a thousand times. That's one reason to 'pay her back.' :DD

[@deusaugma]

Jingliu wants blade to remember how it feels to die since he became immortal

[@thisisshite]

She trained him, - that is how she sees it, and Blade perfects his skills to return the favour (kill her) one day Ngl I think they’re gonna kill each other off somehow, or sacrifice to kill an Aeon

[@rivernlong5979]

Interesting that YingXing is naming himself after Jingliu's blade... He's literally her Blade now. I'm willing to bet future character development will have him adopting a new name and weapon, freeing himself from the shackles of hatred.

[@kagaminelen2652]

damn, i sure do wonder who this yingxing guy is

[@xHounth]

There is a theory that says Bailu is actually Baiheng. Dan Feng would've commited several crimes, one of them including messing with what I believe is called the Transformation Arkhanum? According to the theory he put Baiheng in a Vidyadhara egg and used that thing to turn her into a Vidyadhara, which is why it is said that Bailu's dragon heart is "broken", because she was originally a foxian. We can also see similarities in their hair and their name, just like Dan Feng became Dan Heng, Baiheng became Bailu It is just a theory but a very interesting one. There are still a lot of unclear details about the High Cloud Quintet, such as the Beauty's identity and what truly happened to Yingxing and Baiheng, can't wait to know more!

[@neanahidden]

Maybe Dan Heng pick his new name to honour or remember BaiHeng This animation was so amazing. HSR is really aiming to the stars with their animated trailers.

I know that this is a honkai video but i ask you if you can talk about the misconception on celestia because now we know thanks to some dialogue that the thing that floats over fontaine is not celestia

[@Michael-vr9us]

so is jingliu still alive or dead?

[@Igraphi7335]

Dead inside live outside. Like blade.

[@CatWithBlueHat]

Yes.

[@claudiowiseman8488]

from this video she has one year to being mara struck

[@PLBiohazard]

Ok I know about Baiheng = Bailu's theory and I don't say I'm against that... I mean it's just... like damn, that's one less cool Foxian girl we could have got in our roster. 😞 Not that I actually use any of them for now but still.

[@moonlightka]

why exactly did jingliu want to kill blade 1000 times?

[@PLBiohazard]

Either it was to train him through brutal means and let him become even more dangerous... or she just wanted to inflict endless pain on him. Can't confirm any of those for now.

[@sauciine]

cuz they killed her girlfriend 😔
