We have confirmation of Jing Yuan's age range during Quintent era?

[cashew]

According to this post, patch 2.5 confirmed Jing Yuan was <100 years old during Quintet era. tanithryudo, can you confirm or deny this claim? Is this a thing? Am I going to have to re-think my fanfic?!

One more note about the Belobog timeline...

So looked back on the earlier Topaz continuance mission, the IPC records show

Bronya: Topaz shared with me the story of the Stellaron's descent upon Jarilo-VI — how the original outsiders stationed here foresaw the impending disaster and chose to leave in large numbers.
...
Bronya: According to her account, the repayment period agreed upon by the Architects and the IPC investors was... 280 years. However, less than a century after the loan was taken out, the connection between Jarilo-VI and the rest of the galaxy was completely severed.

So this implies that from the time the Stellaron appeared, to when Belobog was cut off from the cosmos, that timespan wasn't immediate, but took a few decades to happen.

I've seen 70 years after the antimatter legion attacked / 50 years after the stellaron arrived thrown around in some threads, but haven't found the actual resource for it.

Still, if you assume that Igor could've returned at any time before contact was lost, and that the current calendar starts after all contact was lost, I guess you could still squeeze a potential few decades in there wrt to Jing Yuan's age.

We still can't really get around the issue of the attack is explicitly "about 700 years" ago and there's still the question of the "Abundance buildup" Jing Yuan referenced when telling Igor Xianzhou can't help. If that wasn't referring to Shuhu, then what was that supposed to refer to?

But being able to squeeze a few decades between Igor's visit and Battle of Shuhu still gives the adult!Jing Yuan headcanon some breathing room. Still not as comfortable as I would like, but at least it's more than before. So I'll take it. :p
