Another fun fact, Ruan Mei is actively trying to ascend to aeonhood. ⚠️SPOILER⚠️ she might actually ascend in later versions of the game, as the aeon of cultivation
This is a very interesting recap of one of the most intriguing characters of Honkai star rail in my opinion. I do have a hypothesis concerning aeonhood and that aeons are not as powerful as the lore proclaims to be but rather working cogs in a spiraling complex exponential machine aka the imaginary tree. This is because all the imaginary tree is I hypothesize is just a complex exponential function describing the roots of polynomial functions; Honkai star rail is rather mathematical in nature. When Ruan Mei does become an Aeonhood, the question becomes; did she choose to become truly ingrained in the system to exist full circle? Because all aeons I hypothesize don’t just live in the mere present but simultaneously exist in all times.
