Genesis Lotus will return in the coming chapters

I want to preface this by saying I am not nearly the most in depth reader of RI. I don’t understand enough about Chinese philosophy or the other works that inspired GZR to really say I can accurately predict any of his decisions with writing.

However, from a purely plot-based standpoint, I feel that when RI comes back in the next few chapters Genesis Lotus will make his return. SCIV is not at a disadvantage at this battle necessarily (with the Dao mark advantage she can stand on even ground with FY and Giant Sun) but she has also taken tremendous losses. POIV failed to return, Central Continent was pillaged, and her people are on the line.

If FY pulls out another trick here and they turn the tables on SCIV, I could see Genesis Lotus coming out.

The main reason I say this is how mysterious he is. He’s probably had the least (visible) impact out of the Venerables. And everyone knows so little about him that I’m pretty sure SCIV said she doesn’t know when he might return.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he arrives and then FY convinces Giant Sun to keep fighting because it was too late to back out.

This theory has the major hole that FY already stated if two HC venerables return, they automatically win everything. But I’m curious to see how this plays out and I believe GL might come out soon
