The Highest Goodness Is Like Water

Xuefeng

（Translation edited by Qinyou）

Water nourishes all things without competing with them; it cleanses dirt, purifying all things, yet does not seek the highest place. Water takes the shape of its container, whether square or round, helping others without complaint. It transforms into clouds, soaring across the sky, indifferent to mountain peaks or valleys, plains or deserts, making its home everywhere without regret. Water is soft and humble: it flows when it can, rests when needed, sings when it should, and remains silent when appropriate. It changes form endlessly but never departs from its essence; in motion or stillness, it always returns to its source.

The highest goodness is like water. Water is "close to the Tao," embodying its qualities.

Those who seek goodness should learn from water; those who pursue the Tao should learn from water.

Life comes from the Tao and returns to the Tao. Since the Tao shapes both my body and nature, I should fully express my inner light, dedicating myself to my parents, children, siblings, society, and nature. Give without expecting anything in return; help others cleanse the dust from their hearts with sincerity and love. Let others benefit and willingly take the lower position. Whether dealing with benefactors or enemies, acquaintances or strangers, as long as it brings good to others, help them without judging their faults or mistakes. If wronged or misunderstood, so be it—just fulfill your responsibilities without complaint. After giving, don’t focus on whether or not you receive anything in return, because we trust that the Tao does not shortchange anyone.

Water’s nature is cool and gentle. Though it sometimes flows with mud and sand, its purity remains. When stirred, it becomes murky, but that’s no problem. Once still, it quickly returns to its pure nature. People in society are the same: sometimes caught in confusion or mixed with the mundane, the wise may be mistaken for the foolish or worldly. But it’s no matter. When the turbulence subsides, as long as we are grateful to the Greatest Creator, revere the Greatest Creator, LIFE, and nature, and walk the path of the Greatest Creator, the dirt that stains us will soon be washed away, and our pure nature will reemerge.

Rigid things break easily, and what is strong eventually ages. Tender willow branches sway gracefully with the wind without losing their beauty. The soft branches don’t easily break under the weight of snow. A sword may slice through water, but the soft water does not die. Mountains may crumble, but rivers and seas are not easily severed. The soft overcomes the hard, while the hard struggles to conquer the soft. A dam may block water, but eventually, water will break through. Thus, expressing gentleness often benefits both oneself and others.

Who can destroy water? Who can truly harm water? Who can live without water? Who does not depend on water?

The highest goodness is like water. If a person can be like water, they will be one with the Tao and enjoy an endless, flowing existence.

True Feelings Everywhere Across the World

Xuefeng

January 31, 2025

Having journeyed through more than sixty cycles of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, I have walked this path wrapped in true feelings. Whether in Africa or Oceania, Asia or North America, I have encountered genuine kindness and warmth wherever I have traveled.

The true feelings I speak of here refer to emotions that are given freely and selflessly, without any ulterior motives or expectations of return.

First and foremost, my parents embody true feelings more than anyone else. I have never sensed even the slightest trace of self-interest in their love and care for me. I have never felt that they expected filial repayment from me. My mother, in particular, always gave silently, never complaining, never asking me for anything. In my heart, my parents are like two Buddhas.

Among the most unforgettable friendships in my life’s journey are those with Xue Binyi and Liu Jincai. Their kindness toward me was crystal clear and pure, without the slightest impurity. Whenever I recall the countless things they did for me, I feel deeply ashamed, as their noble character is far beyond my reach. In moments of hardship, thinking of them fills me with strength—they are a vast source of spiritual energy within me.

When I think of my elementary school teachers, as well as those from middle school, technical school, college, and university, I feel the depth of their sincere dedication. I never did anything for them, yet from them, I received an endless wealth of knowledge and spiritual nourishment.

Throughout my journey, true feelings have surrounded me like a protective halo. There was a classmate in middle school, a few Black employees who worked for me in Africa, the newly appointed police chief and officers in Lincang during the construction of the Fourth Home of Lifechanyuan community, as well as the handsome police officer and the public security director in Xinjiang during the construction of Gesar Home. Thinking of them, I am deeply moved by their sincerity.

Of course, the true feelings of the Chanyuan Celestials in Lifechanyuan are even purer—completely untainted by any self-interest. Just like my two elder brothers and three younger brothers, they have never sought anything from me, only offering me respect and heartfelt sincerity. Oh, Heaven! What have I done to deserve so much true kindness, more precious than gold a thousand times over, throughout my life’s journey?

My life experience has taught me that true feelings exist everywhere in the world. True feelings are priceless; they are the most valuable spiritual wealth in life. The lesson I have learned is this: on life’s journey, whenever you have the chance to meet someone—whether it be your parents or children, brothers or sisters, childhood friends, teachers or classmates, colleagues or superiors, or even a romantic partner—never calculate, never scheme. Even if the person you meet is not a good person, as long as they have not harmed you, offer them your genuine feelings.

The greatest regret in life is betraying or failing to cherish true feelings.

Give your true feelings freely, and leave everything else to Tao. Never blame others.

白月梵星 | Moonlight Mystique E25 ° Qi Feng died a long time ago.

[zhouxiangs]

Fu Ling, do you still remember your origins? What are you trying to say? Zhen Yu is unpredictable and full of schemes. Since he took me as his disciple because of my purple eyes, what about you? There are countless demons, and you're neither the most talented nor the strongest. Why did he take you in and keep you by his side? Aren't you curious who you were before you became Fu Ling? I'm not as curious as you. Sometimes, the more a man knows, the faster he will die. Just like you. True. You didn't come here just to ask me why I want to kill Zhen Yu, did you? Do you have the antidote for the Heart Devouring Pill? No. But I know where the antidote is. There's a hidden drawer in the cabinet on the east side of Zhen Yu's room. The antidote is in it.

HSR OC Timeline [Up to 2.2]

I wrote this timeline a few weeks back and just went through to add/edit things based on the recent quests: the whole timeline details about 700 years

Key

Aster mentioned by her previous identity [Pollux] is described in Purple text

the real, now-deceased Aster is described in Red Text

[My silly self-indulgent au where Dan Feng gets his own body separate from Dan Heng is described in Brackets & Strikethrough text]

OCs covered

Aster [Pollux Interitus] - Quantum Nihility, Emanator of Remembrance

Yueshi - Wind Nihility, Mara-Struck Ex-Vidyadhara Record Keeper

Sen - Ice Hunt, Amnesiac Xianzhou Spymaster

Castor Interitus - Imaginary Abundance, Corrupted Halovian Abomination

Dianran - Fire Destruction, Scion of Long and Elusive Craftsman

Gawain - Physical Hunt, Trailblaze Pathstrider from Belobog

'Aster' - ???, Doctor of Chaos [deceased]

Referenced Time-frame

HSR is annoying as hell and has MULTIPLE calendars in use so I'm sticking to the Xianzhou based Star Calendar since we have some reference points to The Sedition AND the current story arc. Fuck the IPC's 'Amber Era' system

Sometime before the Sedition – The Shuhu Upheaval Period Year 7379 Star Calendar – Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae Year 8100 Star Calendar – Luofu arc starts

Beginning

Yueshi, a Vidyadhara record keeper in charge of aiding new High Elders in recounting their previous incarnation’s memories is partnered with Dan Feng and sent to the Xianzhou Luofu

Xuefeng Sen is born to a family of prominent Cloud Knights from the Xianzhou Zhuming

An outworlder’s boy is found & presumed an orphan during one of the various battles against the Abundance is adopted by the Xuefeng family and is named Dianran

[insert some sort of meeting between Sen & Jing Yuan as young kids]

Dianran, a previously thought orphaned human boy, starts exhibiting Vidyadhara traits and send to the Luofu to be examined & watched by Yueshi

Sen is stationed to the Luofu as escort to their younger, adoptive ‘brother’

Yueshi & Dan Feng appear to be on bad terms, especially after the transfer of a certain arrogant craftsman to the Luofu

Furnace Master Yingxing takes Dianran on as an apprentice, against the Vidyadhara’s wishes

Yueshi & Dan Feng on much better terms (marriage saved by a cool sexy polycule)

The Shuhu Upheaval Period

Baiheng dies in the final battle

Sen is never accounted for, presumed dead in the battle

Yueshi is declared as an Abundance abomination, reported as the first mara-struck Vidyadhara and is quickly imprisoned deep in the Shackling Prison

The Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae & directly afterwards

Yueshi remains in the Shackling Prison, unaware to the horrors happening outside

Dianran survives the Sedition, determined to keep his master’s craft alive and is smuggled out of the Luofu with the aid of Jing Yuan

Sen somehow survives the battle against Shuhu with no memories, becomes the perfect empty vessel for the Cremator’s to shape for their own schemes

Within the last 100 years

Yueshi manages to escape the Shackling prison after centuries of imprisonment, flees from the Xianzhou

The original Aster is born

Halovian twins, Pollux and Castor are born into the Throne of Calamity, a sub-faction within the Annihilation Gang

Aster’s home planet is left decimated by the Annihilation Gang and becomes a Self-Annihilator in the process, but attempts to fight against their inevitable fate as a Doctor of Chaos.

Pollux leaves the Throne of Calamity for unknown reasons and is on her way to becoming a Self-annihilator

Pollux & Aster meet and become close companions despite the bloodshed of both their pasts, Aster is able to pull Pollux from the void

Aster succumbs to the Nihility. Instead of falling back into IX’s shadow, Pollux ascends as an Emanator of Remembrance and takes on the appearance and identity of Aster

Gawain is found abandoned in the Outlying Snow Plains as an infant, is adopted and raised in the Overworld of Belobog on Jarilo-VI and eventually becomes an officer within the Silvermane Guards.

Direct Pre-Game

Yueshi meets Luocha, is recruited by him & Jingliu for their ‘lets kill Yaoshi’ plan

Aster accumulates a bounty within the IPC & occasionally works together with the Stellaron Hunters & Galaxy Rangers

Sen is found by the Stellaron Hunters and Aster uses their emanator abilities to restore Sen’s memories, Aster takes them back to the Luofu in hopes for a future favor by Jing Yuan

Sen is fairly unstable and out of their mind, trying to come to terms with their past while in care of the Xianzhou.

Aster & Yueshi briefly meet.

Aster & Boothill are on friendly terms and have probably worked together in the past.

Gawain leaves the Silvermane Guards sometime after The Supreme Guardian issues the order to seal off the Underworld, Probably works with Sampo to smuggle the much needed goods to the Underworld.

Aster & Aventurine meet and start trading information with each other, trying not to be on opposite sides of a situation so they don’t damage their ‘relationship’

Aster is betrayed and chained by the IPC (physically & spiritually) in order to capitalize on an unaffiliated Emanator of Remembrance and their real identity as a former high-ranking member of the Annihilation Gang is exposed.

The Stellaron Hunters / Kafka approach Aventurine & Topaz to make a deal: Aster is needed for Elio’s ‘script’ during the Charmony festival and will break Aster out of IPC control, making sure the heist is not connected to Aventurine or Topaz.

Herta Space Station / Jarilo-VI

Aster is stuck in a physical form and most of their emanator abilities are locked away, becomes a passenger on the Astral Express while trying to find a solution to their predicament. Nothing much comes from it.

Yueshi provides intel to Luocha on how to smuggle his Stellaron shaped contraband aboard the Luofu.

After the Stellaron crisis on Jarilo-VI is solved, Gawain leaves the plant surface to start their Trailblazing journey.

Aster and Aventurine reconcile after Topaz runs into Aster on Jarilo-VI, Aster leaves the Express crew.

Xianzhou Luofu

Yueshi does not physically assist Luocha & Jingliu during the Luofu Stellaron crisis and is NOT arrested.

[Insert my old fix-it au idea of Dan Feng gaining his own body & memories back but it’s no longer a fix-it au its more pain actually]

Aster & the IPC 3 end up fairly acquainted will eventually collaborate for the events of Penacony

Aster has an encounter with an Abundance abomination Castor at Pier Point and leaves with an ominous warning about the events of Penacony. Aster opens up about their past to Aventurine and Topaz. The two are the only ones in the Universe who now know Aster’s whole story, and not just snippets.

Aster cashes on Jing Yuan’s favor and wants to learn more about mara-struck behavior in other non-xianzhou species, casually mentions working with a ‘mara-struck Vidyadhara with a broken horn’ before

Jingliu’s Story mission gets its own header

[Dan Feng is also present for the HCQ reunion at Scalegorge Waterscape]

Sen makes their decision to fully align themself with the Xianzhou again

Castor is somehow connected & Involved with Jingliu & Luocha’s ‘lets kill Yaoshi’ plan

Yueshi is revealed to also be working with them, [Luocha taunts this directly @ Dan Feng]

Dianran’s Status is still currently unknown

Penacony [up to 2.1]

Elio’s vague script for Aster: ‘act as you usually would, as if you know nothing’

Castor is probably not on Penacony himself, but in direct contact with Sparkle (depends on what will happen in the Epilogue)

Yueshi could possibly be on Penacony (revisit this once we know more about Jingliu & Luocha’s plan)

Aster reveals her status as an (incapacitated) Emanator of Remembrance to the Astral Express crew & Acheron

Sunday & Aster know of each other. Sunday knows that Aster is actually Pollux, but does not know she is an Emanator of Remembrance.

Aster is in on Aventurine’s plan, and is transparent about having a ‘script’ to follow

Aster is present when Sunday questions Aventurine

Aster completes their part of the script by jumping in front of Acheron’s strike against Aventurine but though she knew this was part of his plan, in the moment she moved to protect him without thinking. And it was exactly what she needed to do for the chains on her emanator powers to break

Penacony [2.2]

Gawain stays on the Express w/ Dan Heng, hits it off with Boothill.

Aster falls into Dreamflux Reef with the Astral Express crew, behaving erratically after regaining her full powers. Unable to control her emotions and abilities after meeting Sunday face-to-face again, her appearance as a Halovian shifts back into reality and her cover is blown.

Aster is finally fully upfront with the Astral Express and continues to work with them in this final confrontation, Gawain stickers with Himeko, March 7th, Firefly, and the Trailblazer

Aster is relieved to hear from Argenti that Aventurine was saved by him.

After Aster wakes up from Sunday’s Order-fueled dream, she has a fairly long conversation with Acheron about the Aeons, Aster’s past and their philosophies.

Gawain & Aster aid in the final fight against Sunday

Aster follows Boothill when he goes to interrogate Aventurine post-final fight.

[ginsoakedgirl80]

He obviously is using a fake name but he does know his explosives so into her harem he goes.

How About Turning 180 Degrees to See the Scenery?

Xuefeng

（Translation edited by Qinyou）

The troubles we face in life all stem from our own thoughts. When we can't figure things out, it's because we're tied up by mental knots. All suffering comes from our own mistaken perceptions, and every misfortune is of our own making. Ultimately, we are the ones responsible for our confusion, sorrow, and misfortune.

When we reach a dead end, why not turn 180 degrees and see how the scenery changes?

Very few people have never had suicidal thoughts. I've had them multiple times. Every time I felt like giving up, I’d think, “I refuse to commit suicide; let’s see what happens next.” With that shift in thinking, things would change. The next day, the sun would rise in the east again, the Earth would keep spinning, flowers would still bloom, and life remained full of beauty.

When someone I loved dearly left me and I felt heartbroken, I’d think, "Well, now I’m free!" Reading a story without a period can be exhausting, and wandering endlessly in a valley prevents you from seeing the beauty at the mountain's peak. The mountains may not move, but the water does. Set your sights on the next goal, and—wow!—it's even more exciting than the last one. Chase it!

Thinking about divorce? Go ahead! Who's afraid of whom? Without potassium fertilizer, can't I still grow yellow carrots? Without your slim arms, do you think I, a strong mountain, would ever run out of firewood? At worst, I'll guard my empty house alone. If no one cares about me, that’s even better—maybe I don't want them to.

Boss, you've fired me? Fine! Just wait. Fortune changes—six years from now, you'll be working for me as my deputy manager.

Child, you think your parents are a burden now? Fine! We, your parents, are here to repay our debts to you. Now that the debt is settled, we won’t worry about each other anymore. Even if we die in the fields, who cares if crows take our bodies or wolves devour them? We'll ascend to the celestial realms—let’s see how you’ll manage then.

You say God wants to punish me? Kid, don’t threaten me. Let God come speak to me directly.

Slandering the Buddha sends you to hell, you say? Have you ever seen the Buddha? Just returned from hell? How else would you know?

"You’re possessed by a ghost," you say? No, I think you are the ghost.

Can smoking, drinking, eating meat, and having a sex life prevent me from becoming a celestial being? Don’t be ridiculous. True celestial beings live without restrictions.

You’re filled with hate and want revenge? Not many people stay clean while rolling in donkey dung. A great man has a big heart—let it go! The one who doesn’t seek revenge is the true man, a glowing hero.

You think my shoes are ugly? Comrade, many people don’t even have shoes to wear.

You think I’m unattractive? Sir, being unattractive is not important. Look at those with disabilities—they’re much worse off.

You say I’m disabled? Dear, even though my body is disabled, my mind is healthy. Look at all those able-bodied people who commit suicide, go to jail, or live in misery, unable to eat or sleep. So, who’s truly disabled?

You say you eat better than me? I don’t believe you. Show everyone your poop and let’s see if it proves you eat better.

You say you’re more fashionable than me? I don’t believe you. Take off all the metal around your neck and ears, wash your hair and face, and let’s see how you look without clothes.

You say you’re richer than me? I don’t believe you. Let’s measure how much larger your sleeping space is compared to mine.

You say you have more power and status than I do? I don’t believe you. Let’s meet again in a hundred years and see.

You claim to be more famous than I am? I don’t believe you. Let’s take a magnifying glass and find out where your fame lies.

You say you own a lot? Maybe so, but let’s see who worries about bills at the end of the month. Let’s see who sleeps more soundly.

Worried because your child didn’t get into college? We don’t need to compare our weaknesses to others’ strengths. Comparison between people only causes frustration. Let’s compare health, filial piety, stability, and the suicide rates of college graduates versus ordinary people. Let’s see who lives a more peaceful, harmonious life.

Your husband is cheating, and you’re upset? Let him cheat, let him fly away—let’s see how far he can go. Besides, there are no men who don’t cheat—just make do with him.

Your wife is having an affair, and you’re angry? Pull out the radish; the pit remains. As long as her conscience is still there, just make do with her.

...

In short, when you find it hard to figure things out, try shifting your perspective and see how it looks from another angle. Of course, if you insist on overthinking and driving yourself into a dead end, you’ll only end up suffering in silence.

Be the Servant of All

Xuefeng

February 5, 2025

Jesus Christ told us, “Be the servant of all.” — Matthew 9:35.

“Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” — Luke 18:14.

Being a servant brings boundless benefits.

Observe those around you. Those who seek to be served by others often suffer from illness or misfortune. Though they enjoy the service of those around them, they endure discomfort and pain. In contrast, those who willingly serve others are always healthy and full of vitality.

The Way of Heaven is just. The tiger is mighty, yet it is not given wings, nor is it allowed to reproduce excessively. The mouse is lowly, yet it is granted the ability to thrive and multiply boundlessly. The Way of Heaven does not allow any one being to monopolize all advantages.

Be a servant to all from the depths of your heart. Serve others willingly, wholeheartedly, and with devotion. Do not concern yourself with whether those you serve are good or bad, and do not calculate whether you should serve or not. Do not dwell on who owes whom. Instead, be like the sun, radiating light and warmth to those around you. Be like a blooming flower, offering the beauty and fragrance of your LIFE. By doing so, you will reap at least two great rewards: enduring health and a guaranteed place in the Heavenly Kingdom.

Never expect others to serve you. To enjoy the service of others is to incur a loss in the Way of Heaven.

Never calculate gains and losses—simply present the best and kindest version of yourself to the world.

Never seek praise from others. The more one delights in worldly success, the further one drifts from the Heavenly Kingdom.

Never think that old age entitles you to be served. Never entertain such thoughts! Even at the age of 120, one can still serve all beings and be the servant of all.

Until you reach the Heavenly Kingdom, never waver in your commitment and determination to be the servant of all.

Never harbor the slightest doubt about the guide’s roadmap. When your faith wavers, the foundation of your LIFE will tremble, your path will become unclear, and demons and evil spirits will seize the opportunity to invade.

Be a Servant, Never a Slave

Xuefeng

February 6, 2025

A servant is a voluntary and willing helper, whereas a slave is someone forced into labor, suffering hardship under oppression, and losing their dignity in submission.

Why Be a Servant?

Because Christ Jesus taught us to be the servant of all. If one wishes to earn the respect of others and become a leader revered by many, one must first become the servant of all. I would like to add two more points: only those with the mindset and state of a servant can be accepted into heaven, and only those with a servant’s awareness can maintain inner peace and physical health.

Why Not Be a Slave?

Because a slave is a product of oppression by a dominant force—not the result of a voluntary choice. A servant retains dignity, whereas a slave has none—therefore, one must never become a slave.

Being a servant is a privilege reserved for noble and strong individuals—only the strong can truly serve others. The pitiful and weak do not have the qualification to be servants.

Look at the grass, wildflowers, trees, insects, birds, and animals across the vast mountains and land—who takes care of them? When a gentle drizzle falls, nourishing everything and bringing vitality to all, who sends this life-giving dew to sustain the creatures of the earth? Do you see it? The one tending to all life is the Greatest Creator. Does the Greatest Creator not resemble a loving servant?

Now, look at a shepherd—does the shepherd not resemble a servant? If you have chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, cattle, or sheep at home, are you not the one taking care of them? Are you not a servant to these small lives?

Do you see? The Greatest Creator is the servant of all living beings in nature. A shepherd is the servant of the sheep. Those who feed pigs, chickens, and sheep are their servants. From this, we understand that being a servant is a function of the strong—it is the role of a leader. The weak cannot be servants.

This also tells us that only the weak require care from others. Only those nearing death need servants to look after them—for example, the elderly in nursing homes or patients in hospital beds.

Anyone who is not psychologically strong can never truly be a servant.

A true servant serves only truth, kindness, beauty, love, faith, and sincerity—never falsehood, wickedness, ugliness, hatred, doubt, or deceit. In the presence of someone stronger, a true servant does not submit, nor does a true servant serve power and authority.

Only those who give and dedicate themselves selflessly and willingly can be called servants—those who operate on a mere transactional basis are not true servants.

Only the humble can be called servants—the arrogant can never be true servants.

Only the strong, who compassionately care for the weak, can be servants—the weak can never be true servants.

Only those who treat others as equals can be servants—those who flatter, grovel, bow and scrape, or curry favor can never be servants; such people can only be slaves.

I am willing to be your servant, but if you fail to show me respect, pick apart every detail, boss others around, and remain ungrateful—well, to hell with it! I quit!

The above explanation is the true meaning of Christ Jesus’ teaching to be the servant of all.
