Its actually logical for Preservation to interfere with Propagation destroying things. Its also logical for Preservation and Order to work together since both paths arent in conflict but could help each other.

I loved the part that when even in a Simulated Universe... Aha knows that it's simulated.. damn, he even called us Fake Avikili
@thanglongnguyenvu3815
Tbh. The lore in swarm disaster is pretty epic. Qlipoth's hammer was easily the most OP thing in that whole battle.
@WhaleMilk
Okay cool little note I want to add on here: 8:38 you say that Tayzzy's death was predetermined at their birth, but how it's worded in the text turns it the other way around. Terminus's whisper says that Tayzzy's birth was predetermined at it's death ("their death predetermined their birth" is how it's written in Sand King 1) which is backwards until you consider that to Terminus, Tayzzy's death came first, their birth second. Just a neat little detail that I noticed.
Also, it is heavily, heavily implied that Akivili's death has more to do with Fuli and IX than it does HooH. It's also implied that Ena's disappearance was a mutual agreement between Ena and Xipe that one was to be absorbed into the other, although Ena still has full cognitive autonomy within Xipe. Either way, HooH's involvement in all of this is undeniably huge. It almost feels like this whole debacle was a small moment in a larger chess game between Terminus and HooH.
This is a very nice interpretation, though. I will 100% be using this as reference for the future in order to stay sane as I do my own investigations into this beast.
@jamesroad316
Since the Aeon of pest control didn't exist yet, the other aeons decided to do a DIY bug raid
@goldenxingyue07
Poor Tayzzyronth, a lone survivor that they just want to live on, ended up dead by Qlipoth's hammer...
@Marbeary
HooH = Hoyoverse just balancing if the scales tend to shift from one to another. Got it. Also Preservation path is the one save a lot of worlds and players for building shield is both in game (Swarm disaster) and Lore accurate.
@rh_nt
I absolutely love the designs of the Aeons
@idontspeakjapanese6289
So the Aeons that we have to watch out for is not Nanook who most people presume as the end game boss of star rail but rather Terminus and Ho oh.

(I am just going to note my observations and my understanding, correct me if I am wrong. I use the CN dialogue of the game so some things might be wrong.) 2:57 Something interesting to note: the woman did not "lose" her child to the swarm, but rather, it is HEAVILY implied her child was actually an insect. Ingame texts mention how the rate of childbirths increased dramatically, and that these "newborns" would fly away. Which means The Propagation can affect not just insects, but any organism that is capable of reproduction. 4:00 As the disclaimer at the beginning mentioned, some information obtained from the Simulated Universe should be taken with a grain of salt. Herta expresses doubt at the idea that Fuli was born during the Swarm Disaster due to it "being too logical". But of course, we don't really know the truth. (Just a reminder to everyone) 4:37 This is somewhat misleading. It is mentioned ingame that Ouroboros actually disappeared in the midst of this for unknown reasons. Additionally, Aha is CONFIRMED to be present. According to Aha, they wanted to "help Ena". Aha also invited Akivili to join in (Akivili joined due to Tayzzyronth and the Swarm interrupting the Trailblaze). Ena on the other hand is mentioned to have disappeared too. Ena and the Order was absorbed into Xipe and the Harmony. Aha eventually found Xipe, and invited them to join their fight against Tayzzyronth, to which Xipe agreed. 8:04 If I remember correctly, Nanook was born due to the Swarm. Although Tayzzyronth died, the Propogation (the Path) and the Swarm still exist. The Swarm infested a certain planet which Nanook was from. I am not sure if Nanook has any relation with Yaoshi (correct me if I am wrong).
@alirizvi5663
HooH and Terminus both seem like they're a step above even regular Aeons
@awman5095
Now imagine if Lepismat was never conquered, everything would be fine and swarm disaster would have never happened
@comfieruko
You are truly the Aeon of Helpfulness 😠Thanks for this!!
@eeveeofalltrades4780
Aha really helped Xipe absorb Ena just for funsies.
@joaofaria7404
4:10 a friend of mine pointed out this crazy theory: maybe March is a crystallized person from that time?
@JuliotheCurio
i find the thing about Terminus so damn interesting like how they move backwards in time. Wonder if the trailblazer will manage to meet them at some point (damn this is the first time there's a full ass argument in my reply section)
@samueljo7910
Also, there's a knock-on event that eventually led to the birth of Nanook: Their home world of Adlivun was devastated by Rupert I'd Mechanical Empire and The Swarm, eventually leading to their Birth and the destruction of Adlivun as Akivilli arrived at the world.
@yun-z
the woman did not lose her child to the swarm, it appears that she literally gave birth to the bug, and an entire hospital was filled with bugs born from normal people.

this summary was like a movie ngl
