You were lauded as the reincarnation of a fertility goddess. The people here sought you for those blessings. Is it that they're needed? That these blessings are naturally few and far between? Did something happen to that goddess?
To some degree, belief is what you make of it, and in this, I'd guess the same. I don't believe that here any gods are shared universally or in exclusion of other gods; and people think of children as a future, as a continuation of bloodlines and family, as hope.
In no sense did I feel anyone who came to me was truly devout to the concept of the goddess I was supposedly a reincarnation from, but the idea of it, the fancy of it, people liked that. To believe it might be true. To have a different form of hope, perhaps, but it's not always kind, and it was not always well delivered.
I was thinking about how every life lost tips the scales in Death's favor. I started to wonder if many aren't born to counter it.
Yggdrasil blesses people with children, in Erdrea. The Goddess of Life and Light. But She fell, and can't offer anymore blessings. I fear that this world is a warning for the possible future of my own.
I'd wonder more about complications should spirits be trapped out of any cycle this world holds, but I can't tell you much about how this world cycles. Have you talked with our scholar ghost on this, Eleven?
In present circumstances, we make time. Find me within a shichen - ah, hours. I'll do what I can to find a quieter corner where we won't be interrupted or taken for hositle.
[Eleven spends the majority of those hours exerting himself to the point of relative uselessness. It's only then that he feels decent about going in search of Wei Wuxian for this conversation]

Why are you asking?

[He'd sort of forgotten about him, honestly]
Do you think he'd want to?
