Genesis Lotus is the counter for Fang Yuan.
Greetings Juniors 👋
I had an epiphany about Genesis Lotus immortal venerable about how he could be the main counter and opponent for Fang Yuan and wanted to share it with you guys for your ideas.
Genesis Lotus is definitely the most overlooked and underrated venerable, he's one of the last venerables that y'all would think of when mentioning venerables, I do however find that strange that he's so underrated despite being a venerable and we all know just how crazy and heaven defying each and every venerable tha we've seen is.
But then I remembered... That Genesis Lotus is also the only person other than Fang Yuan to refine the Reverse Flow River... I'm also certain that y'all remember how hard the requirements to refine it were... You basically needed max level preservation to refine it.. something only Fang Yuan was able to do other than him... We know how crazy this is as it was Fang Yuan's strongest defensive move capable of stopping peak rank 8s despite being a rank 7 and how everyone coveted it yet only the two were able to obtain it? It shows that his preservation is at the very peak with fang yuan.
Now then, tell me why Genesis Lotus was the only venerable of Heavenly Court to not participate in the fate war to defend fate gu from getting destroyed?
We all know he's the founder of Wood path.. however we also know that he later created Painting Path and is one of the currently best human path masters... The two paths that literally counter Fang Yuan... Painting path for his sovereign immortal fetus and it's obscurity and Human path which is literally the only thing that can counter Heaven other than Luck and is the better version of it. Also the best sealing master we've seen.
We also know that Genesis Lotus is the only venerable to surpass Fang Yuan in immortal essence and it's by a LOT (not even close)
Don't forget that he also has the best Gu House aka divine emperor city and is the only venerable whose motive or interest we don't actually know yet and is also helping the ten immortal sects prodigies with their cultivations and human path... Seems to me like he's waiting for something and is cultivating a force of human path masters.
I also remember that Star constellation mentioning him to have an indifferent attitude which is conveniently the best mindset to fight against Fang Yuan and isn't it also weird for someone with an indifferent attitude to have that much preservation? Like i remember they showed a scene of a kid crying to him and blaming genesis lotus about why he didn't revive someone but he didn't bcuz of fate, would someone with that much preservation just obey fate?
It's not much but there's just something off about Genesis Lotus and a weird feeling I get whenever I reread RI. What do y'all think? Is it far fetched or...
