The Reason Why Fu Xuan Has THREE Eyes (Honkai Star Rail Lore)

[@CatWithBlueHat]

Note that Fu Xuan didn't fight with her teacher to kill him. I worded some things differently. After she used the Telescope, Lan arrived and fired their Lux Arrow. The arrow also killed many Xianzhou people along with the enemies. This is when her teacher died. But ultimately, Lan did arrive because of Fu Xuan, so she did kill him just as he predicted. Another note - Yukong's close friend Caiyi also died in the war before Lan showed up.

This could be the same event where yukong's friend died. Ironic, one lost her faith on aeons and left her job, the other accepted fate.

[@arnowisp6244]

​@@protagkun8859More like she lost her faith on everything really.

[@protagkun8859]

@@arnowisp6244 That makes more sense to hear. Cause to say "She lost faith on Aeons" doesn't sound right. I think she lost faith in the value of her own life and the lives around her in general. Cause after she witnessed the scale of destruction an Aeon can cause, she saw a bigger picture in an astronomical scale. She saw how worthless mortal lives are. As she put it "If wiping out the enemy is as easy as breathing for an Aeon, then what was the point of all the lives that were sacrificed during the war? We are nothing."

[@BirbRawor]

@@protagkun8859 Directly taken from wiki, Yukong: Yes! The mighty blessing of the Reignbow Arbiter annihilated all abominations in a single strike! But we had to pay with the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers just to halt their advance! Yukong: If crushing our enemies was as easy as breathing for the Reignbow Arbiter... then what purpose did our sacrifices serve? Yukong: Under the might of an Aeon, the sacrifices of ordinary creatures are but a joke... we are nothing... we mean nothing...

[@protagkun8859]

@@BirbRawor Yes, I remember those lines cause I've done her story quest myself. But that does not talk about losing faith to Aeons, that talks about losing faith to themselves and how worthless mortal lives are when compared to the might of an Aeon. As in she says "100.000 lives lost were not enough to even match a single fraction of an Aeons might" that's what she ment.

[@TJ_Sind2000]

I would love it if they could delve more into what yukong said about how aeon's don't care about the life of mortals, it would be really interesting if there's a faction that is planning to end the aeon system entirely along with the paths somehow, but I don't feel like star rail will go anywhere near that route at all which is fine too

[@Dazzle_Dork]

I think there must be, it's a common trope in this type of story. Unless, power level is so over the top that it's already impossible. Maybe just maybe Nannok is that guy?

[@Moon1tan]

We do have that somewhat with how the Xianzhou people, being followers of Lan the Hunt Are aiming and seeking to destroy the abundance and its followers for that very fact Yaoshi blessed their ancestors with immortality without caring or warning them about its consequences which plagued them for thousands of years to the point that a whole new path was formed (the Hunt) because of that desire to take down a path and its aeon

[@dontshitontravelermains5498]

Wouldn’t be surprise if that faction is coming from HooH or Terminus, fitting the goal so well

[@kenkaneki3873]

I mean based on even just this, it didn't seem like Nous didn't care for Fu Xuan. He simply told it as it is and was being objective with her.

[@protagkun8859]

I don't believe Yukong ever said that. That sounds more so like something the leader of Sanctus Medicus said, considering her friend ( Of the Medicus Leader ) died from Lans Lux Arrow. Yukong more so talked about how insignificant the sacrifices people made at the war cause an Aeon can wipe out the enemy as easily as breathing. How it felt like so many people's death before Lan arrived at the war was pointless. But I understand what you mean. I can very much tell how the story progresses torwards the majority of aeons not caring about mortals. Though I do not think Lan doesn't care about the Xianzhou people. After all, the path of the Hunt was discovered in order to protect the universe and the people from the Plague's Author and immortality. The fact the Lux Arrow killed many Xianzhou people as well, was just a consequence of how powerful an Aeon really is, something that couldn't have been helped.

[@silverjuly9339]

She shut her eyes as she is now trapped in the prison created from divination. There is only 'one' path

[@arnowisp6244]

Fu Xuan: *Accepts the Predetermined fate* Trailblazer: *We chose to fight against our fate plays*🎉

[@banir3736]

Which is predetermined

[@ianhurley6475]

I was gonna say if anyone can shatter fate it's the trailblazer. That's the overarching theme of star rail so far. Question is whether that would "free" Fu Xuan or only cause her to suffer more, knowing things are not preordained, that she may have saved her master, and that she is not absolved of responsibility beyond being a conduit of readings.

[@SeanAkolom]

I hope one day she gets a proper story quest so we can actually learn more about her instead of getting invited to the express train as a side character to someone else's story like they did with Gepard and Pela as well

[@RayRMT]

Her being so related to fate is quite interesting, specially since she mentions something about being unable to read Trailblazer's future and past "possibilities". Maybe Elio is the same and that's why he decided on making Kafka keep trailblazer around and bestowed him/her with an Stellaron and amplify their fate messing up abilities. Just look at how much they already impacted a planet and the Xianzhou

Watching this again and jeez man, the editing, the song used and everything was just so good, its been some time since the last time I've got chills by reading a phrase I've already seen before.

[@恩骑]

Ironically, Lux arrow is just like our mass destruction weapons in real life. Whenever it activated, ally, enemies or even the innocent, its all doesnt matter anymore infront of it

[@DiamonDust]

It is similar in destructive results (probably far greater considering the massive scale that is outer space), although unlike in real life with the use of the atom bombs the use of the Aeon's power here could be seen as morally justifiable in order to prevent the complete annihilation of the Xianzhou and to fight the evil that is the denizens of abundance. It does pose an interesting point though, that the Aeon's power is truly frightening and should not be entrusted to humanity... even if some of them use it for good. Ideally the Aeons should not exist, just like the atom bombs. But they will exist perpetually in HSR (as of right now), which is why one Aeon's power is needed to combat another's. It would be noble to say "we won't use the Lux arrow, it's power is too great for humanity to have access to" but the cold reality is they really don't have a choice when factions like the abundance and legion are wreaking havoc and destruction upon the cosmos. It's a kill or be killed scenario.

Isn't she trying to prove to herself still that fate can't always be predetermined? Listening to her ultimate voice line it seems that way. Like she wont accept that the world's laws control everything because human creations aren't part of that calculation. I thought that the line "shutting her eyes" was in the sense of unwillingness to see the truth

[@ravienmendoza1505]

and also in her voiceline "about self: diviner" she says that no divination is entirely accurate

[@rea_ldi]

I feel so much pain in her LC. And you know that LC is a part of past memories

[@ArchonOfDoom]

What would happen if her third eye would be removed? Would the regeneration close the wound? From what I know is that, her regeneration tries to close in th gap where her third eye is, causing pain, also the eye itself causes pain as well, wich she endures for the sake of all....sacreficing herself. This raises many questions. Fu Xuan is clearly some centuries year old, the reason why she looks so young is the previous infestation of Yaoshi's influence in the Xianzhou people. If I know right, all of the natives have a "blueprint" that corrects their bodies, so regenerates them, but that blueprint is usually about a body of their younger self, or what they born with? So if a person borns with defections, the blueprint will try to regenerate them to that misereable state, this is why implants are impossible to them...right? That sounds absolutely horrible now that I think about. So I know that she and Nous "made a deal" but what I her eye is removed? Would that end her suffering? Edit Note: Everything I wrote here is just my takings in the story. I'm not sure, and if you would please clarify. I love the character and would try to learn more of her. Also thanks for the vid! Cheers o/

Damn didn't ponder that deep. But I guess she'd be a new person. Someone who might bet on chances.

[@c.voyegger4421]

So in a way Xianzhou is controlled by the matrix since they only act within the options the matrix gives them. And they wouldn't know if the matrix kept some outcomes or possibilities from them to make sure they act however the matrix or Nous wants them to.

There's a possibility that the war in which Fu Xuan summoned Lan was the same where Yukong's friend and Dan Shu's "friend" died, if I'm not mistaken. She may've had a hand in the death of thousands of Xianzhou people, all in the name of the best future... such is the burden of foresight.

Kafka denied following nihility, jing yuan is an enemator of the hunt but goes by erudition so what really determines one path is one path determine by their life? Can one change? Or are all considered pathless?

[@peterjutsu]

the path in-game is just there for gameplay.

[@Dazzle_Dork]

It's probably their life goal, at least in my opinion. Fu Xuan follows preservation cause Fu Xuan is preserving xianzhous best fate/interest. Jing yuan follows erudition maybe he's searching for some type of answer. Nihility are for those who seem content but waiting for their destined fate. I am little unaware what harmony and hunt symbolize But maybe they are just for gameplay who knows

[@dontshitontravelermains5498]

@@Dazzle_Dork They are definitely for the gameplay cause Jing Yuan make it obvious by himself that he is one of the successor of Lan (Aeon of Hunt) while never mention Nous even once. And Sampo also make it clear that he is most likely a Mask Fool and follow Elation path yet the game put him in Nihility class instead.

[@devilsadvocate9013]

The paths during gameplay follow the traditional rpg class system (ie. Destruction = berserker, Preservation = tank, Abundance = healer/mage etc.). The path a character follows in the story does not necessarily reflect their path in gameplay. We see this with Jing Yuan as his kit is tailored to erudition, yet he outright states he’s a vanguard for the hunt

Yes it has two meanings. A physical pain as well as the pain to know that there's only one future. "Then give me the 'eye.' Regardless if destiny is foreordained or not, as a diviner, I wish to possess a clearer sight." "As you wish. But the people of the Xianzhou are ageless in flesh. To accept my 'eye' means to bear timeless pain. Rather than a tool, it is more like an.... 'instrument of torture.'" "Aren't these the very words of the Wisdomwalker's creed?
