Baiheng

Hello welcome to my ted-talk where my thoughts are scattered and all over the place-

SPOILER ALERT!

I keep calling Phainon as "Paimon" in my brain lol

Baiheng is literally Star Rail's Qiqi. (Including the High-Cloud Quintet in this)

1. Similar color palette

2. Both died

3. Both went berserk (Qiqi after she got resurrected, for Baiheng it's when Blade and Jingliu went crazy and mara-struck)

4. The High-Could Quintet and the 5 Yakasha's.

5. DHIL got imprisoned, so did Qiqi

6. There's probably more I'll add them when I can remember

Honestly HSR is losing it's appeal to me, and it's mostly because I feel like I can't keep up with it anymore. I love the game and the story, but the whole powercreep and meta is getting on my nerves. I don't follow meta and usually don't care for meta/powercreep stuff, I play because I need a place to relax and unravel, But after the live stream it honestly feels like I have to get one of the newer characters to be able to play the game "smoothly." I mean, I'm doing decent dmg with FF and Jing Yuan, but then you got the "Sunday is a must to play Jing Yuan" even though I hate him and will never pull for him. It just feels so much harder to be able to enjoy the game without following meta

Now, the new shop/standard character thing

I don't mind the change and I like the change to be able to get characters you want from losing the 50/50 now, but as someone who's only lost once in HSR it loses it's appeal somewhat. I would like to get Blade and Fu Xuan, but I don't think I'll get the chance to...first time in my life I'm hoping I lose my 50/50 lol

For the shop, I don't really care about it, but if it's true that we have to pay to be able to get the LC's then...well, I get that they're trying to make money out of this but still, we should be able to get those token things through something in the game. Or at least, be able to buy them using stellar jades.

Why is Penacony's storyline so long and confusing like the damn puzzles we have to do I almost rage-quitted after spending 30 mins on one puzzle like am I just stupid or what, why is it so hard for me to solve a puzzle

I also don't understand Belobog's story. Or how preservation TB works. Anyone willing to give me a summary? (In desperate need of a shielder)

Ok that's it for now thanks for listening have a horrible day /j

Spoliers if you haven't finished Loufu (Ig?)

Question:

How come Jing Yuan's the only one who didn't change when the High Cloud Quintent disbanded? Bc Baiheng died, Yingxing became Blade and Mara-struck, Jingliu went crazy and Mara-struck, Dan Feng got imprisioned and turned into Dan Heng and refuses to admit that they're the same people, but only Jing Yuan stayed sane and even became the General of the Loufu. Why?

Theory:

"Of 5 people, 3 must pay a price..." -Blade

We all know that one of the 3 is Dan Heng, and we know for sure Jing Yuan isn't one of the three, and there's been a lot of theories and whatnot abt who the other 2 are

(This is a midnight thought I had)

What if the other two is Jingliu and Blade himself? Bc Jingliu killed him over and over again, and if you look at it, only DHIL, Blade and Jingliu went insane or changed into a different person, which is exactly 3 people, and Baiheng is dead, so she doesn't count...

(Idk if I explained my theory clearly...I suck at explaining stuff)

I feel like some others also feel that way lol. Honestly they’re so similar: hair, colours, personality, and style. Their names both start with Bai as well and are both long life species. What do y’all think

Insane theory I've seen for a while, ik it's 90% confirmed at this point but still feels too uncanny, any thoughts?

Some points for those not into lores:

+They have the same hair and eye color;

+They have "Bai" in their name (you can kinda make a connection to Dan Feng and Dan Heng);

+Bailu doesn't have any dreams of her past life until she came to the Express (the dreams are about travel too), while Baiheng is a Nameless;

+DHIL companion quest and the egg flavor text implies that Dan Feng created a draconic abomination (presumably from Baiheng), which after that the abomination was killed, and reborn again into Bailu (not sure specifically when though, still tryna figure that out)

+Jing Yuan MIGHT know about Bailu's past (like he's still here after the Quintet era, surely he has to know right?)

(The only real counterargument I've read is that they aren't the same species, but that same quest somewhat explained that too, so I can't find anything else to disprove this, if you can then pls tell me)
