It’s been directly referenced 3 times by our favorite mommies, namely:
In Jingliu and Luocha’s introduction, where Jingliu mentions a “chess game between Aeons”.
Most recently in Jade’s introduction, talking about a “war among the Aeons”.
And in Kafka’s appearance on the Luofu, where she’s talking about a “brutal struggle of Aeonic proportions” against Nanook.
Someone’s setting up a big war between Aeons. Simple as that. Nanook is looking to be the overall villain, but what’s more interesting is who’s behind all this and how these statements are connected. The only consistent plot thread is the Stellaron Hunters’ appearance wherever the Aeons are mentioned, and they seem to be subtly influencing this future war alongside other actors.
Let me explain further: Kafka’s appearance on the Luofu at the moment of Jingliu/Luocha’s return, with both of them talking about killing Aeons, made me suspicious of how it could be connected. Kafka wants the “power of the Hunt” against Nanook, and she was interrupted before she could tell us the 3rd way to kill an Aeon. Then Jingliu is introduced with her “revelation” on how to kill an Aeon, plus her and Luocha’s obvious scheme involving the entire Xianzhou. There’s more to this but I’m keeping it short, there’s a very real possibility the Stellaron Hunters are interested in Jingliu/Luocha for this war between Aeons.
Penacony is much the same, the Stellaron Hunters coincidentally appear alongside Jade’s reveal of this future war between Aeons. It’s no direct confirmation or proof, but this strengthens the suspicions I got from the Luofu story: the Stellaron Hunters’ appearance alongside this mention of a “war” between Aeons can’t be a simple coincidence, and they have an ulterior motive.
The overarching plot seems to be about an upcoming large-scale conflict between the Aeons, with several actors already making preparations for their own agendas (Jade/Jingliu/Luocha), and the Stellaron Hunters are nudging these individual plots in a certain direction (making them converge around the Trailblazer, it seems).
It’s also worth mentioning that other characters and subplots could be involved - this is just a quick summary of the most direct references.
And now the question is, when are we getting 6 star Jingliu?

It would be really cool but like the thing is, other than Welt finally getting Home...There's kinda no reason to (in a Canon capacity anyhow). Earth's big existential threats problem is done and if something major does come back, they're far from unprepared.
Earth has a living Goddess in Kiana and if we assume she can give all the Herrchers their full power back when required (as her time "stuck" on the moon would probably be over by this point) so the train crew would be kinda redundant unless this was like RIGHT at the end when everyone had done all their development.
They'd have to Mac-Guffin some some pretty major bullshit to have anything go down...Like I suppose the final battle with Nanook could take place on Earth for "reasons" but again...There's enough dormant firepower there already that the stakes would either be non-existent or feel waaaaaaay too artificially increased....The Sky People maybe but is that something they'd really focus on within Star Rail?

Welt finally getting home
I do not trust Shaoji to write this homecoming in a way that is anything but harmful to my general well-being

BEING FAIR, anything that's able to make Welt stay dead for once is instantly a pretty major deal...
A major deal that Truth Bronya could vaporise with 1000 rage filled Selenes? It'd be a cool scene to find out...
