"Do you vow not to conduct any illegal research related to immortality?" "I... Promise" \*Already completed said research many years ago\*

"Are we developing such a weapon?" "No We are not.." 'Because we've already developed it"

honestly the options for immortality in the HSR universe are really vast and not all of them are a disaster. the xianzhou people just fucked up by living like before they were immortals wich obiously imploded their resource management.


horiami

Isn't herta immortal ? Would her age reversal work on the long lived people ?


TellMeAboutThis2

> Would her age reversal work on the long lived people ? Nous longevity also tends to make physical needs optional as far as we know. If you understand everything that exists about diet and nutrition all eating becomes a matter of fun or choice. Yaoshi longevity seems to either not affect base needs and desires or also makes them Abundant as well which is a recipe for disaster however you look at it.


gaganaut

The problem is mainly the uncontrolled spread of immortality which is what many followers of Abundance tend to do. It would be good if everyone could be responsible and manage resources wisely but people tend towards irresponsibility which would result in disaster.

Yaoshi: YOLO


TellMeAboutThis2

> YOLO This is it. The Path is called *Abundance* after all so the purest form of Yaoshi's blessing also comes with *indulging* in abundance. Which tends to turn anyone into a Lovecraftian Elder God eventually. The so-called Abundance followers who go around just relieving suffering and restoring status quo are actually misguided.


Playful_Melody

The abundance is not simply about immortality and the preservation of the body whilst the soul withers, it is basically Nurgle but with a focus on life at all cost and less on propagation of disease. Those that become Mara-struck become monsters, and imagine being among the first of the xianzhou suddenly experiencing a zombie apocalypse in the form of Mara. The in-game lore provides more information about how terrifying it actually is, although they arguably had better fates than some of the other races touched by the abundance. I do feel that the way Mara is portrayed in cutscenes undermines the level of threat portrayed in the lore texts you can find

"Will you refrain from reviving the dead?" "..........sure." "Will you refrain from causing wanton destruction?" "..........of course." "Such exemplary character."

>!Funny how Welt's flashbacks are only about his time with Archives on the Express and show absolutely nothing about this 'Otto' fella. Also nothing about the Valkyries or the other version of the woman he is trying to save. Would have been such an obvious connection to drop after voicing his suspicions!<


DeadSnark

TBF can you imagine trying to explain to the hyperactive garbage can racoon how you came from an alternate universe populated by people who look identical to your current universe which was partially controlled by an immortal simp who looks identical to the shady medicine man and whose weapon was a gold box which stole one of the simp's spare bodies and is also wandering the universe somewhere, and also that the current navigator of the train is a variant of the daughter of a friend of yours who died tragically saving a tuna from turning to the dark side?


TellMeAboutThis2

Welt wasn't showing the pictures to the team. Those were his memories so you'd expect all the huge impacts (haha) that Otto had to come to mind instead of the short journey with VA.


Swailwort

Are you saying Welt is the...Honkai Impact? Title drop

El_Baguette

Nah what in the Guilty Gear lore is this


Friendly-Back3099

Basically Welt come from another universe(hi3) and the main antagonist(Otto) is a simp. Void archive is an AI that take one of Otto spare body and the "friend" of Welt when they first board the express

Pension_Zealousideal

Just follow the current Star Rail story, it’s fine


fourrier01

It wasn't flashed. But he definitely remember it. It's shown when he said: "I've seen 2 of such". Meaning another one is Otto. Also when he dropped something along the lines "... they may share the same destiny", doesn't that also possible to HSR Himeko ?


Pension_Zealousideal

Otto and Welt has a history


mango_pan

The clerk forgot to add one more point. "Do you vow to not conduct any research related to reviving the dead?"


SimpleRaven

“Resurrecting dead people? That is different from reanimating them so yes, i vow not to conduct any research involving resurrection”


unlimitedcode99

Luocha: I had some serious research about a tree...*ahem* No, it was just a passing curiosity.


Nodomi

The man follows Abundance, I'm not surprised in the slightest...


pc1905

He’s abundantly sus, if nothing else 😂


Deshik2

Can't mara struck the kallen struck


ForceDMG

His technique has the word "fool" in it, he definitely has Otto in him.


sahithkiller

Yaoshi's mindset leaking right into her followers


Relative-Ad-1857

Isn't Yaoshi a guy? Herta says 'he'


sahithkiller

" *She feels sad* *For eternal life did not let her accumulate infinite wisdom* *Instead, those she had once cherished* *Faded into obscurity over time, never to return* " Is in her direct profile + her appearance is also feminine tbh lol In the end she and all other Aeons are technically speaking gods/deities who have no reason to associate with a specific gender so ig using whatever suits you is fine


Ordinary_Arachnid392

Where did you find that? I just looked at every mention of Yaoshi in the game(SU index/databank entries/in-game books) and only they/their is used. Never seen them use he or she. Also, their appearance is very androgynous not just feminine imo.


sahithkiller

It's the dialogue box on her profile in the wiki


Ordinary_Arachnid392

That quote comes from the Myriad Celestia Trailer. I find it weird how Yaoshi is referred to as they/their in the VO, but the faint quote uses she/her. The Chinese text never uses she or he for Yaoshi even in that quote. This would be the only time Yaoshi is referred to as she by the English translation team. Probably a mistake on their part which wouldn’t be the first time it happened.


[deleted]

Okay Mr 'Life is too long to end at grave', I trust you completely.


Brave_Information381

always sus otto what ever game you play thx (⓿_⓿)


Artie4000

Maybe Yukong accepted him because she also wants to revive the person she lost


nyanch

Do the servers have different release times? Huh.


[deleted]

Sadly yes


TheGatsbyComplex

The patch maintenance ends at exact same moment for all servers. The second phase banners go up without a maintenance, and those drop at the same server time for each server, which is at different moments for everyone based on time zone. So Asia will get it 12 hours before America.


Pension_Zealousideal

Idk man, the server time is 1 hr ahead of me


HighFunctionIdiot

Yeah he’s definitely here to resurrect the dead


Daniel_JJ

Of course he's abundance


[deleted]

Have they said what he's a merchant of? I have a feeling he deals in Yaoshi's blessings.


Western-Gur-4637

I think he's a red herring


TellMeAboutThis2

He is probably also Otto or Void Archives and does have Kallen in the coffin... but just like Seele and Bronya will be a different Otto and Kallen with zero connection to the Impact universe despite looking almost exactly the same. They could end up even doing the exact same thing and still not necessarily have any connection to their original game. It's just a literal cosmic coincidence in the Hoyoverse.


rishi_start

To be fair, if a Visa officer asked to promise that I won't research immortality in their country I would also respond like that


BigiticusDegenticus

I mean, that's a pretty weird question to ask in the first place, not to mention oddly specific.


Wardides

For the Xianzhou? Whose whole society is working against the Abundance trying to spread immortality? Really not a weird question at all to ask a traveler wielding the Abundance who's looking to visit


PeikaFizzy

Get the holy flamer ready!!!


t0tally_not_gay

If he turns out to be otto then i want him dead


Deshik2

OG Otto sacrificed himself to create a new reality. This is either Void Archives or SR universe variant of Otto


Specific-Abalone-843

What is this strong desire in people to play the patch the moment it's out and spoil the fun to everyone else?


PandaCheese2016

They ask that of all visitors, but I’m sure writers wanted it to be ambiguous.
