My prediction on how the Trailblazer will obtain the remaining Paths through Aeon’s glaze (future arcs)

(Happy CNY to everyone!) So after Trailblazer manage to obtain 4 paths already (Destruction, Preservation, Harmony, Remembrance) in the gameplay & story wise, I’m started to think what kind of scenario will Trailblazer got into that make him (in this post I will use Caelus since he is the MC I choose) got the rest of the 8 (or even more?) paths. So here is what I think/predict (based on order too):

Erudition: With the fact that Erudition is one of the 3 paths colliding in Amphoreus and how even The Herta herself got involved with this whole thing too. I wouldn’t be surprise if we continue to ended up getting involved with Erudition stuffs by going to Planet Screwllum in 4.0. There are like 3 scenarios that I think off of how Erudition MC will happen lol: The first one is basically MC getting glazed by Nous during Planet Screwllum arc. The second one is MC getting involved with Intelligentsia Guild in a new planet and got glazed by Nous. And the third one which is unlikely but gotta say it anyway and that is for an unknown reason, MC manage to get to Nous Temple and then process to gain Knowledge from Nous which resulted to him having Erudition Path like that.

Elation: Surprise isn’t it? Me too lol. With how Remembrance has now introduce as the 8th path being playable outside of SIMU/DU, the second candidate of the next possible playable path would automatically be Elation for me. The fun idea that come up to me is that during Elation MC arc, the devs can use this chance to give us Emanator Sampo and also introduce Vita (HI3) to HSR universe right away, thus making another clear connection between 2 games. About when will this arc happen, I honestly have no clues since they could easily put this arc in any update patch and it would somehow fitting. The MC will probably have to face a very hard challenge from some Masked Fools who are villains because they can (lol). And through embracing the absurdity nature of Elation itself, can the MC finally get glazed by Aha for excellent “performance”.

Abundance: With how the Astral Express crew being close to Xianzhou people first and foremost, it is about the perfect time for MC to finally go to a planet that heavily occupied by Denizen Of Abundance people. Through this arc, the MC along with other members of Astral Express will get to see a life of the civilization where Abundance is the one that is ruling and learn that not every people who follow and worship Yaoshi are lunatic and insane. It will be interesting if the villains of this arc are actually the people who follow The Hunt path (in a twisted way) and MC will of course gonna get glazed by Yaoshi through the noble heart of wanting to save the weak or the will that aligning with Abundance philosophy so well to a certain degree.

The Hunt: For me personally, MC getting The Hunt path in any Xianzhou ship make absolute perfect sense due to us already built a good connection toward 3 out of 6 Xianzhou ships and so, which Xianzhou ship would fit well with the set up of MC getting the path in an epic way? Xianzhou Xuling is my only pick here. Being a ship that said to have a general who is describe to be “mysterious and fair”, filled with ton of aurumatons, have no High Elder and known plague-mark… there is no any better place than this. I can already see the arc happen around 2 or 3 years before the grand finale, the arc will probably be related to trial and philosophy of justice (also for this time, the MC will finally have an unbiased pov between The Hunt & Abundance). MC getting strike by lightning while gaining Lightning Hunt path through Lan’s gaze will truly be the most legendary scene in HSR ever I think?

Nihility: I was decided on whatever to put The Hunt or Nihility around the arc right before the game finale and ended up feel like Nihility fitting this place more. Might sound extremely biased to this but I have a huge gut feelings that Nihility path arc bout to be the most darkest written arc ever in HSR, it is an arc that the writer can go all full personal & deep to breaking thousand of player’s mind to pieces. I really do think we will get MC’s full past story back when he is part of Stellaron Hunters here and something really really bad will happen to every Astral Express crew except him, which if you combine both materials together… a perfect recipe for agony can be obtain like that. The MC will probably going to actually get the glaze from IX (I kinda doubt it tbh) or he will absorb enough power from IX’s shadow to obtain Quantum Nihility path after he went on full existential crisis mode and come to conclusion that there is no meaning behind everything that he been through (yup, all of those weapons & lessons from Destruction arc to The Hunt arc become useless right away in this arc). The most predictable part of this arc is that Acheron will be the one who save the MC from become a Self-Annihilator but I honestly would want more new future characters from Doctors Of Chaos to have this role more tbh. As for the planet… I really have no clue on this one.

Trailblaze: The finale arc of HSR overall. Not much to say on this part here, I can already see the MC himself actually ascend to become the new Akivili (basically the new aeon for Trailblaze). If the writer still keeps Nanook as the finale main villain then yeah, Nanook and the whole Antimatter Legion are pretty much screwed up. MC being the only one who can have Trailblaze in gameplay is pretty much what might happen, mechanic probably be able to freely switch the paths during combat.

If you make it til the end then I just want to say a big THANK YOU VERY MUCH on this one. If some of my predictions do in fact come true, prepare to see me say “I told y’all!” all over the place lmao. Anyways, I would love to version from y’all too, go ahead and share it with me!
