In such instances, they may consume and ultimately destroy their host, resulting in dire consequences for both the individual and the planet as a whole. Therefore, the significance of mutual respect and harmony in this symbiotic relationship cannot be overstated, as it ensures the continued equilibrium and prosperity of Xuxians and Xuxia alike.
Respect & The Mother Planet
Xuxians hold a profound reverence for their planet, viewing it not merely as a celestial body but as a living entity with its own preferences and desires. Cities are established in locations deemed "safe" and acceptable by Xuxia herself, as she selects where her inhabitants may dwell. This symbiotic relationship underscores the deep respect Xuxians hold for the natural world that nurtures and sustains them.From Xuxia's perspective, her relationship with Alpheans mirrors that of a nurturing mother overseeing her children. To her, Alpheans are mere inhabitants, akin to ants crawling upon her skin. At times, Xuxia may intervene, whether offering protection or expressing her displeasure through natural phenomena. Alpheans understand the importance of honoring their planetary mother, recognizing that neglecting nature's balance may incur her wrath.Xuxia's presence serves as a constant reminder to Alpheans of the imperative to live in harmony with nature. They acknowledge that their actions directly impact their planetary home and strive to maintain a balanced relationship with Xuxia.
