The memory Aeon has not been born at all yet? After completing the storyline of Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.7, we have finally sorted out the entire truth about Amphoreus. As mentioned above, the memory Aeon currently standing in the Eden of Blessed Insight is merely a crystalline hollow shell, and the true Fuli has not yet been born. This is the real secret concealed by the Garden of Recollection, a colossal lie that has deceived the universe. How did this happen? Let's analyze it together by combining the content from Version 3.7 and the previous storylines.

Through the information obtained by The Herta from within Nous's mind, we can learn that the memory Aeon ascends to godhood at the very end of the universe. It will carry the universe's memories to reweave all causality, causing the universe to move towards a cycle where the beginning and end are connected. In other words, once the memory Aeon is born, the timeline of the universe becomes fixed; the future ceases to exist, and the universe will fall into an endless cycle of memory recurrence, following the same script. This is the Finality outcome brought about by Remembrance. 

The Pure Children of Anāsrava are the crown princes of the memory Aeon; every Pure Child has the potential to become the future memory Aeon. For example, in another IF storyline of Amphoreus, it is Cyrene who ascends to become the memory Aeon, sealing both the Express crew and Amphoreus together within the ice of memory, watching over them tenderly. This caused us to be trapped forever within the memory cycle of Amphoreus, eventually freezing the entire universe, leading the galaxy towards an end named "Finality" in the name of love.

However, the fortunate thing is that Cyrene ultimately chose to forgo ascension, which is the reason why The Herta breathed a sigh of relief. Because Cyrene's choice genuinely concerns the fate of the universe. So some Trailblazers might ask here: if the memory Aeon has not yet been born, then where did the memory Aeon who glanced at us before come from? The answer is that the so-called memory Aeon was actually Cyrene all along. To ensure the causal loop of Amphoreus could be closed and prevent Irontomb from reviving again, Cyrene chose to remain within the memory where the Scepter nurtured Irontomb, intending to fill in the missing parts of this segment of the story.

For example, why was the image in Phainon's heart that of the Trailblazer? How did the initial ripple that alarmed the Garden of Recollection originate in Amphoreus? Fuli's glance when Mem appeared... and so on. These questions all required someone to supplement the answers. If Cyrene did not go, the identities associated with these vacancies would generate uncertainty, and this very uncertainty could potentially lead to Irontomb's resurgence. Thus, Cyrene followed the passage of memory step by step back into the past and used herself to fill these blanks.

The one who caused ripples in the council was Cyrene; the one who glanced at the Trailblazer was Cyrene; the one who implanted the image of the heroic Trailblazer into the dreams of the past Cyrene and Phainon was still Cyrene... Thereby, Amphoreus achieved a causal loop, completely locking the birth and fall of Irontomb in the past. The cost was Cyrene remaining forever within that segment of memory, becoming the memory Aeon belonging to Amphoreus.

At this point, I have a bold conjecture: since Cyrene can influence the past to compile causality, could the true memory Aeon also influence the past to rewrite the causality of the entire universe? This is truly intriguing. However, we still do not fully understand the abilities of the memory Aeon, and can only wait for future storylines in Honkai: Star Rail to reveal the answer.

Finally, we must explain the relationship between Demiurge and Cyrene. To summarize, initially, the little Cyrene, guided by the great Cyrene, arrived at the inner core layer and fed the dormant seed of Demiurge over thirty million cycles of heroic stories. During this process, the seed of Demiurge embarked on the Path of Remembrance. Furthermore, influenced by Cyrene, Demiurge's appearance began to increasingly resemble the mature Cyrene, evolving gradually from the initial small fairy-like form into the Cyrene we are familiar with. That's right; in other words, Demiurge is the great Cyrene.

Afterwards, the Trailblazer entered Amphoreus. Under the dual influence of the Star River and the Trailblaze's power, the great Cyrene awoke from slumber, broke through the blockade, and came to the Trailblazer's side in the form of Mem, but at the cost of losing all memories. At this point, all Trailblazers should fully understand that the true head of the Scepter had always been by our side; it's just that she was too weak for even Lygus to notice. In the subsequent adventures, Mem returned to the Titan's great tomb, retrieved all memories, and completely evolved into the true Cyrene. But the reversal doesn't end here. As mentioned above, Cyrene followed the passage of memory back to the past, and the initial Cyrene was, in fact, Demiurge, who had returned to the past.

Just as the fable says: "You will meet your end when flowers bloom, just as the end gives birth to the beginning." Demiurge, moved by Cyrene's stories, transformed into the great Cyrene and broke through the cage. The great Cyrene then returned to the past and became the initial Cyrene. From cause came effect, and from effect came cause. At this moment, the causal loop closed; Cyrene gave her all and said, "Hello World" to the world. Irontomb also became a thing of the past.

This concludes all content regarding the relationship between Cyrene and the memory Aeon. Although we have understood the story of Amphoreus, the existence of the memory Aeon remains a mystery. After Cyrene, how will memory continue to influence this universe? After Nous enters dormancy, will the operation of the world change? Let us wait and see!
