    Can we just talk about how weird trees are in genshin for a minute? So in pretty much every culture there is some sort of tree of life and there as a tree like that in every country in genshin so far. The massive tree in mondstat, Azadah's dragon tail tree in liuye, the frost bearer tree in dragon spine (which seems to be alive like the Sakura tree in inazuma), the mystical tree's in the abyss/domains and then finally the living Sakura tree with giant roots in inazuma. All of the trees seem to be magical or alive in some way, except for the tree in mondstat I'm pretty sure. Not to mention that the symbol of the abyss is a tree.
    (Sorry for the spelling its 4am and I dont know how any of this is spelt anyways.)

      There is also the tree in the see if quanta, the Imaginary tree. Now I haven’t played Honkai and have only seen pictures, but the Imaginary tree and the trees in domains looks similar. Not only that, the Imaginary trees location is also vaguely reminiscent of domains(in my opinion). Makes me believe the theory that the abyss/domains/ and the sea of quanta are all related.

      Kinda late reply but the Windrise tree (which i assume is the tree you're referring to for mondstadt) is used by Venti for healing and considering ameno crystalflies can be found around it, I'd say that it's magical
      I bring up crystalflies because iirc they tend to gather around places with elemental energy in excess amounts, and in windrise they specifically gather around the _tree_ and not the Statue of the seven, in fact they're kinda far away from the statue, so I safely say that they're gathering around the tree

    Ok but hear me out, there's two versions of the "mora icon", the one that Paimon and mora and cube hypostasis have. There's a version with 4 "rings" and a version with 3 "rings". What if there were originally 4 moon goddesses, one was the lady that appears in the blessing of the welkin moon art, the other one is Paimon, and the Third one is the one is the actual moon we see in game. And the fourth one is the one Baal is trying to revive/uncorrupt? And the "4 rings" moon icon was before this 4th moon god got corrupted? I just thought since Paimon's name is a demonic old name irl, together with the Archons names we know, that would make her a god in theory, so why wouldn't she be one of the Moon godesses? She kind of ressembles the lady of the welkin moon and the statue in Inazuma city like you mentioned...

    A quick thought after the video: if Baal is trying to create a world in which her own version of eternal peace has been reached, and thats the conflict of Inazuma, Maguu Kenki was the perfect introduction.

    Back for the rewatch. Today I'm researching the Khanriahns language. I translated the scrolling Latin in the non-elemental domains. It's mirror reflected which made holding my phone up to a mirror useful. The translation were 2 words. PRONOEA = Providence and FORTUNA = Luck.
    Which is interesting since providence refers to the blessings of the Gods and luck implies random chance.
    I also came across another Genshin theorist who was wondering why the Abyss Lectern sounds like an Evangelist when Khanriah was a Godless nation from what we were told.

    • @witchcandy3671
      @witchcandy3671 3 роки тому +21

      Upon further research with other theorists it has been speculated that the Travelers sibling who awoke before us could be the God of Time. The main connection being the ruins near Mondstadt. That as our sibling traveled Teyvat immortal as they are with incredible power teaching those of khaenriah with knowledge like alchemy instead of empty beliefs. Thusly empowering everyone not just a chosen handful with visions.
      This of course lead to the famed alchemist Gold and the death of the Dendro Archon spurring Celestia to act. However unable to entirely defeat Aether and Lumine because of their own outworld divine nature they were instead shackled to the world of Teyvat.
      So maybe not 100% but an interesting take on the beginning of our journey in Genshin impact.

      On the topic of domain translations the 4 elemental domains have the exact same inscriptions however other then the letters matching exactly I have yet to work out the translations. There are 10 Pillars altogether with 4 Khaenriah symbols each including commas and periods but not sure if they are meant to translate into Latin words or not.
      The 10 Pillars read as such starting clockwise from entry:

    Now that patch 2.0 has been live I've got this to say: Baal showed us how the Archons truly fight. All this time I've been thinking Venti and Morax were pretty weak, given control of only one element but then Baal pulled that adeptus domain b.s. and I was like, oh snap, that's why they feared the Khanrieans!
    Ok here me out, I was pretty mind blown when I realized this. Madam Ping gifts us our own domain in the teapot and we've been to a few adeptal domains as well as domains clearly made by those from khanreah. So it's safe to say both sides understand Adeptus Magick. However Baal was the first one to show us how the Archons weaponized it. (Very similar to a Reality Marble in the anime Fate series) All this time I've been wondering how Morax rained stone spears large enough to make an island chain or how Venti sent Starsnatch Hill out into the ocean to make the Archipelago or how before that he leveled the mountain to a small island. Now here in Inazuma we have a giant dead serpent God cut in half as an island chain, unlike Osial currently pinned under the sea near Liyue.
    And clearly it's not a myth when the bones and cursed energy of the slain God still persist. Baal showed us her using adeptal Magick when she pulled us into her own inner world. It reminds me of the saying "Those who dream of Dreaming" phrase. If a vision is someone's memory and ambition manifested in the world of Tehvat then is a God's Gnosis the power to manifest their own dream into reality?
    Here we are playing in our teapot adeptal domains and the Archons are like, "Thats cute" wanna see my new special attack?
    Almost forgot, it the Khanriahns were building their own domains showing they understood Adeptus Magick then clearly they were on the cusp of weaponizing it themselves. I would love to hear comments on this, peace.

    something you forgot to mention about the Yggdrasil is that it unifies 9 worlds: Asgard, Alfheim, Muspelheim, Jotunheimr, Nioavellir, Niflheim, Vanaheim, Misgard and Hel. If you include Asgard and Khaenriah and assign them the worlds of Asgard and Hel, there would be 9 regions in the world of Teyvat. In fact, these worlds have been explicitly mentioned ingame in the Legend of the Shattered Halberd series (which also includes real canon events like the fall of the iron meteorite). The books were published by the Yae publishing house and barely sold at the time of their release which I think is really sus. It has a lot of stuff relating to the lore and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it! it even confirms the existence of buddhism in genshin ;)

    I completely forgot about the 3 moon sisters till this video. When I was playing Yoimia's quest I noticed there were a few folding screens within the prison showing three female beings with one large eye in the middle of their heads. Something kept knawing at me as there being three of them was reminding of SOMETHING, but I just couldn't remember what. You can see one of these folding screens most prominently right before you talk to Yoimia's master right after you walk down the stairs, but I believe it shows up again in one of those domains you play once for the primos and sigils.

    Oh My God, I just got some epiphany after watching your theory about the three moon sisters which are a parallel to the Norn in Norse mythology governing Law, Time, and Fate. The Welkin Moon is probably one of the three moon sisters who govern the power over fate. If you purchase the blessing of the welkin moon then she will give us 90 primogems daily for 30 days which when enough can be used to buy either intertwined 'fates' and acquaint 'fate'. There is also a God of Time mentioned in Mondstadt's World Quest and can possibly be Paimon. As for Law, it could be about the Unknown God who is also known as the Sustainer of Heavenly Principle.

    hi ! regarding the serpent around the world tree : the corals that can be farmed for the new sword in inazuma reveal that there was a snake that came from deep within the sea, more exactly from the "abyssal depths".
    when going closer to the surface it met humans (sort of ? it's hinted that they might be a different race, like sucrose, diona, gorou or klee are different types of humanoid beings). the humans (?) started worshiping the snake and gave it different names, one of which is Watatsumi. The only clear reason that explains that worship (outside of the fact that it was massive and they might have been scared of it like the culture that worshipped the thunderbird was) was that it brought light to the abyss because its body was covered in glowing coral.
    it then moved up to the surface (don't know why maybe it's in one of the many books) and got sliced in half by one of the previous shogun.
    what's interesting is that in the description of every type of coral, the word "abyss" appears in different form, always without the capital A and seemingly to reference the deep sea. but the emphasis is very suspicious.
    also, speaking of the bird in the tree : there is the story of the giant bird that controlled thunder and lightning, was worshiped by a civilization, lost its mind when a young boy was saccrificed and destroyed the land for a very long time. it was beheaded by the thundersoother.
    it was said in a stream that something has been sealed in one of the islands of inazuma and it also happens that an island is covered in a perpetual lightning storm and ressembles the shape of a broken volcano, which happens to be where the bird was apparently killed.
    also, fun fact, that bird prpbably had a human form (like morax) since the thundersoother took its crown after killing it and claimed it for its own (if it was any other game i would't think twice but it's genshin and the lore of the artefacts is very linked to the lore of the game)
    honestly before watching your video i just thought those were cool big animals with powers that we would either fight or see in cool cinematics. i just read the descriptions of the stuff cause it's fun and people spent a lot of time working on this.
    but now it seems very connected to your theory...

    Important detail that you missed: The Staff of Homa is the signature weapon of Hu Tao, who acts as a guide to the afterlife.
    I'm guessing that people have this all wrong. I noticed during one of the analyses that Baal seemed like she was forcing herself to do what she's doing, almost like she doesn't actually want to but is hardening her heart because she believes that what she's doing is right in the long run. She also claims eternity to be the closest to heaven. Not Celestia, but heaven. What if she wants to turn Inazuma into a land of unchanging, eternal immortality, and she believes that the only way to do so is to make it like heaven, as in a land of the dead? Not literally dead, but like the dead. No ambition, no choices, just an eternal, peaceful forever.

    just wondering, there is definitely a resemblance between homa, the bp symbol and the omnipresent god - but I also wanted to point out that the layout of musk reef is quite similar to how they look as well. I'm not very sure if it has much of a relation, but while I spent time on the island it hit me that it's resemblance to all of these symbols is uncanny. The way the land looks on the water really does take that shape...

    Euthymia is a weird word to elect, since euthymia is associated with mood disorders, especially bipolar disorder, similar words are dysthymia( persistent depressive disorder ) and cyclothymia which are both mood disorders. Euthymia is a mood state, and a euthymic mood is one where you are resilient to mood disturbances and usually experience cheerfulness and tranquility. With that said though, euthymia doesn’t necessarily need to feel nice and it is in essence a neutral/balanced mood state where you are more resilient to stress factors. I’m just mentioning this since euthymia is a word associated mainly with mood disorders, especially bipolar disorder, which could be an allusion to Baal’s actual mood state/emotional landscape.

      @jeanne-marie1186 2 роки тому +1

      lucy strauss yes, but i don’t think this is adequate if we’re speaking about euthymia. as you may know, moods emotions, and feelings are technically different things. euthymia isnt in regards to emotions, rather it refers to someone’s mood; moods and emotions are different things in psychology. for example someone who has high-functioning depression, a mood disorder, may be able to have emotions of joy or feel happy, but their mood is still depressive. euthymia is simply being in a neutral mood state which is highly resistant to mood disturbances and stress factors, and while that sounds as simple as “being okay,” the thing is that the common person isn’t described as euthymic. euthymia is used to describe this neutral mood state in people with mood disorders, especially ones like bipolar disorder or cyclothymia. it’s also important to remember that even though someone may be euthymic, they are by no means necessarily okay in how they free, though it is common that they feel just “okay.”

    Personally I think you were closest in the start, with your new theory it could just be that the former electro archon created baal and scara as vessels for her to possess after her death in order to stay in the mortal realm to keep her promise of eternity to her people
    Scara and baal come into the world as siblings and live as “perfect” vessels, until one day scara ether figures out what’s going on, or baal ends up getting chosen over him as the new electro archon, so scara is sent into a deep sleep, now being obsolete as he might become jeleus or something I guess...?
    Scara ends up waking up on his own through force of Will alone and wonders the world from a distance of baal for years, learning more about himself and what he is, until he comes across the fatui, destined to save baal from her creators true intentions.
    The statue then, could rather be something used to connect the current and former archons ambitions and allow them a way to draw power from eachother in a sense, the wings most likly being simmaler to statues of dead folk with angle wings, and the adornment of the eye
    It’s possible she could have had this eye at the time of her death, or wore one, knowing she was going to die at some point, or like nearing the end of your theory all of this could have been archived by the former electro archon who DID actualy immortalize herself as a statue in her death, leaving behind vessels that would in turn take her place in her absentce, ones she could use to her advantage, the statue does after all, share those same simmaler items your mentions
    With the wings of a holy bird that flare like a ferocious presence, adorned with the powers of the ambitions of others so she can fight the curruption of celestia

    The Herrscher of the Void, who looks very similar to genshin's Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, has a scene where she wears a cape with eyes on it. It reminds me of the statue Baal constructed.
    The Sea of Quanta, which you said in a previous video is or is related to the abyss, is where a person called the Serpent and a group called the World Serpent originated from.

      @@Ashikai In Chinese Xianxia novels, there is the concept of the power of Laws, that can be weaponized and used to attack. The elements are low level Laws, while higher level Laws have interesting concepts like Space/time, fate, luck and others. You can see a little of it in the Baal fight, where a domain is also a popular Xianxia trope.
      Also a concept in Xianxia is the idea of mutiple layers of worlds. The novel would usually start at the lower world, and then break through a layer of cultivation, or sometimes literally breaking through the sky of the lower world, to reach a higher world, with stronger Laws and powers. In game, this would be represented by character levels. Somehow I think that when you can breakthrough level 100, there would something similar.
      Actually, the opening of this game is a pretty good representation of the Xianxia troup of a higher world character (the twins) falling or getting trapped in a lower world.

    In Portuguese (and probably other languages too) it is translated as "The immovable god and the eternal utopia"
    For those who don't know Utopia means any description of an ideal society, based on laws and political-economic institutions truly committed to the well-being among individuals.

    ooo another theory!
    because the visions are the “eyes of god” it can be depicted as Celestia watching every move and sound of what’s going on in Teyvat. there was a theory that perhaps the god/king of the celestia is the fake king because in reality the god was kicked out by the real god however the fake didn’t see the real’s face at all so that makes the fake think that he’s the top and therefore creates their own world. for a big world, it’s hard to keep track of everything of what’s going on hence maybe why archons are in place. the gnosis is perhaps similarly like a vision but this time it’s directly from celestia. in other words, celestia is #stalking the archons to make sure order and balance is in place. the incident of the destruction of Khaenri’ah 500 years ago is perhaps the cause to as why some archons decides to depart with their gnosis’. Baal, may have hated celestia of something that happened during the destruction or around that time that perhaps causes her rule to take visions away so the gods of celestia isn’t watching or preventing the humans to ascend into godhood. in the official manga of genshin, the interior of celestia looks somewhat like a panopticon - a cylindrical area full of prison cells or isolated chambers. perhaps baal sees the true extent of celestia and decides that no one should ascend there because of perhaps how corrupt celestia really is - therefore taking away visions and storing it away onto the statue. it’s rumoured that maybe baal has already had her gnosis taken away and gathering gnosis’ to replace that power shortage to defend her people with. the statue could be like a powerhouse of some sort to use in times of dire need. however this is all complete speculation.

Or if that's not the case, she is probably trying to achieve their previous wish/ambition in her *own* way.

      According to Venti and Zhongli, the Archon war persisted for several centuries, and only ended 2600 years ago.

It explicitly says that the other archons changed and then changed again, and describes the previous ones as "departed." Pretty sure they're all dead.
