In the storyline of Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.6, the term 'Pure Children of Anāsrava' can be said to almost run through the entire narrative. From the mystery of March 7th's origin to the true purpose of the Garden of Recollection, everything seems intrinsically linked to these Pure Children of Anāsrava. So, what exactly are the Pure Children of Anāsrava? Today, let us analyze this in detail by examining the specifics within the game.

1. Honkai: Star Rail – "Pure Children of Anāsrava"

The "Pure Children of Anāsrava" is described in the Data Bank of the Herta Space Station as follows: strictly speaking, the Pure Children of Anāsrava are a group of people who can hardly even be called an organization. For the most part, they do not know each other; their only common point is that they all walk upon the Path of Remembrance. Judging solely from the literal meaning, the Pure Children of Anāsrava also have countless connections with the memory Aeon, Fuli.

2. Purpose of the "Pure Children of Anāsrava"

Carrying these special relationships, let us proceed. In the opening section of the Data Bank, there is also a poem describing the Pure Children of Anāsrava: "You see countless steeds galloping, chariots shrouding the earth, yet only one reaches the end. But you see the wheel tracks exist, preceding the departure of all chariots." Simply put, it means countless chariots are racing towards the same finish line, but one chariot started its journey earlier than all others. That is to say, all Pure Children of Anāsrava share the same ultimate purpose, and one Pure Child has progressed further than the others. So, who is this Pure Child that has advanced the farthest? And what is the shared purpose of all Pure Children of Anāsrava?

Continuing further, the only consensus the universe can reach is this: one or several Pure Children of Anāsrava established the Garden of Recollection, and they jointly guard the secrets of memory. And from the final words left by the Memosnatchers, we can learn that the Garden dispatches Messengers to Amphoreus on the surface to collect the memories of fallen Aeons, but actually to search for the whereabouts of other Pure Children of Anāsrava. The Pure Child (or Children) who founded the Garden has been using these Memosnatchers to track down their own kind, and her ultimate goal is to kill them and reclaim them.

These Memosnatchers really have extremely bad luck; not only were they used by the Garden, but they also happened to run into their natural predator. Because the mysterious power "Forgotten" used by Evernight can precisely erase the memories that constitute these Messengers, and Messengers are memetic lifeforms dependent on memory. Without memory, basically nothing remains. Here arises another question: why does Evernight strike so mercilessly against the people of the Garden?

3. Evernight and the "Pure Children of Anāsrava"

Let us look at Evernight's personal story. Before March 7th completely forgot her past, she was actually being pursued by the Garden of Recollection. If we further combine it with the scene from the "Myriad Celestia Trailer" where March 7th was born from Fuli's shattered divine body, it is not difficult to infer that the March 7th we all know is indeed one of the Pure Children of Anāsrava. The Garden of Recollection, in order to obtain March 7th's memories, can be said to have driven her to a point where she had nowhere to go.

During the long escape, March 7th, or rather Evernight, finally found a means to get rid of the Garden of Recollection—that is, forgetting. Since the Garden of Recollection values the memories buried in her mind, as long as she forgets them all, the Garden of Recollection will naturally lose its target.

Thus, Evernight chose to borrow the power of "Enigmata," burying all the past deep within her memories, while concealing her trace, and creating a chance encounter with the "Trailblaze." It was also at that moment that the past fell asleep, and the future began to sprout. This is why Evernight said, "If a life wants to sprout, its seed must be dead." Because March 7th's new life must be built upon a complete blank of forgetting.

However, in essence, March 7th and Evernight are actually the same person. Evernight is March 7th's amplified obsession, while March 7th is the future that Evernight yearns for. The two are more like two sides of a mirror, polarity in some aspects, but the essence of wanting to protect companions remains unchanged.

In the storyline, we can also observe that although Evernight appears smarter on the surface, actual contact reveals that her essence is still that of the simple-minded March 7th. Her actions reflect the deepest subconscious of March 7th, devoid of any of her own ideas mixed in. From this, one can see how much weight the Trailblazer and Dan Heng carry in March 7th's heart. However, Evernight has taken this weight to the extreme: March 7th wants to protect her companions and continue trailblazing with them; Evernight, however, interprets this as ensuring our survival so that trailblazing can continue and then proceeds to plan to blow up Amphoreus. "If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem itself," so to speak.

From this very point, you can also sense that Evernight still carries a semblance of March 7th. This is the distinct difference between the two I mentioned earlier: Evernight wants to solve all problems by herself, while March 7th would choose to overcome difficulties together with her companions.

Let us return to the phrase mentioned above: "If a life wants to sprout, its seed must be dead." This phrase actually has a dual meaning. It both expresses March 7th's aspiration and describes the truth of memory. Recall what was said earlier about one Pure Child of Anāsrava advancing further than the others and that March 7th was born from a fragment of Fuli. Based on this, let us venture a bold conjecture:

The world of Honkai: Star Rail is actually a constantly cycling, large-scale version of Amphoreus, and the 'world-bearer' of this universe is the memory Aeon. Whenever the world is about to end, the memory Aeon reshapes the world by shattering itself. In the newly reshaped world, the fragments of the memory Aeon become Pure Children of Anāsrava. Each fragment retains a portion of the Aeon's memory, which constitutes the essence of the memory spirit's power. Regardless of whether the Pure Children of Anāsrava will later compete for the position of the memory Aeon after the Path of Remembrance is established, whether through cooperation or by annexing others' power, much like ancient emperors competing for the throne, this corresponds to the imagery of Fuli.

And when the power of one fragment becomes sufficient, that fragment will ascend to become the memory Aeon of this world. And that Pure Children of Anāsrava who advanced the farthest has most likely already become the Fuli of this world. Because when describing the methods of that Pure Child who controls the Garden of Recollection, the dying Memosnatcher used the word "reclaim," not "seize" or "devour." It is as if the power of the other Pure Children of Anāsrava rightfully belongs to her in the first place.

This concludes all the content in this article regarding Evernight and the 'Pure Children of Anāsrava.' I believe you will be greatly surprised after reading it! But there are still thousands of unresolved clues within the game. Let us look forward to what the future holds! See you next time.
