Xianyu knew nothing of the company shareholders' thoughts. Carrying Mirror Flower, Water Moon, he arrived at Starskiff Haven on the Luofu with Daiyang.
There, he met Akivili and the Nameless who followed this Aeon.
A gray-haired youth in a trench coat wore a sheepish smile as he tried to soothe the displeased Nameless beside him.
Whatever the Gray-Haired Youth said only made the Nameless look even more upset.
As Xianyu drew closer, he heard the Nameless ask the Gray-Haired Youth impatiently:
"Akivili, think carefully. Where exactly did we put our Credits?"
Had the Nameless not spoken, Xianyu would have struggled to associate the person before him with an Aeon.
He had encountered quite a few Aeons before, such as Aha, who had wanted to destroy several star systems, Nous, who regarded him as a natural disaster, and Fuli, whose attempt at speaking in riddles had failed.
Lastly, there was Lan, whom he had known since he was young.
Akivili was unlike every other Aeon he had encountered.
This Aeon seemed far too lively, far too human.
Xianyu could hardly imagine any of the other Aeons he knew joking and horsing around with their followers the way Akivili did.
...The odds were even lower than Aha collecting his corpse and shedding tears for him.
Just imagining it made Xianyu's scalp prickle, and he quickly banished that utterly absurd thought.
Akivili traveled to different planets with the Nameless, helping oppressed people overthrow their rulers.
This reminded Xianyu of the Galaxy Rangers, his people scattered throughout the universe who punished evil and upheld good. They were always doing good deeds, earning merit for the Xianzhou.
Xianyu approached Akivili partly for his own sake and partly for the sake of his people out there.
If anything happened to them... surely the Aeon of Trailblaze
