    Corrections:
    - In the final section where I talk about the tree of life, I sometimes use the terms "sephirot" as singular and "sephira" as plural, when it is in fact the other way around (credit: @navetal)

    I wonder if the entirety of Teyvat might be a "dream" or manifestation of someone with a strong will (Primordial one or another descender), and the endgame may be that the traveler makes this world "real" the same way Neuvillette makes the Fontainians true humans. The traveler being a witness is necessary because the "old world" will need to cease (burn away Irminsul) and someone must hold the truth to create the real version of it.

      @Sesquipedalian044 I love that! When this manifestation under the rule of the heavenly principles is destroyed, the traveler as a "witness" could use his will to manifest a new world for the souls of the old realm. Would fit with how Zhongli stressed how important it is that we witness this world.
      Thx for the comment!

      I wouldn't say "the entirety of Teyvat", but at least the realm that the primordial one created on Teyvat, which appears like a not-quite-that-stable dream bubble with how much domains can manifest and how the chasm quest went, and the traveler has the power to manifest the human realm in the light realm (assuming that the "light realm" refers to teyvat without the p.o.'s creation

    aaaaaah finally someone does more than just scratching the surface and jumping to the next half-baked topic! I really appreciate this kind of video, it's like watching a documentary, and I find your voice really relaxing :D. Also all that symbolic analysis was *chef kiss*

    My eyes widened when you mentioned "Will" and linked with the power of a Descender. I kinda assumed that Egeria was punished because she created life, kinda similar how Khemia worked and Celestia ahborred such notion that one of their pawn was getting too powerful to control, but man, your explanation make way more sense.
    I really hope your channels grows, man. Loved this analysis!

    I believe I have come upon a hidden gem here. You've just earned a new subscriber, in fact you've probably just earned many! Great video!
    A small note: "Sephirot" is the plural of "Sephira", not the other way around, so phrases such as "The Ten Sephira" (25:29) should be "The Ten Sephirot" and "Each Sephirot until...Sephirot num.9" (21:21) should've used Sephira both times.

    This content makes you a philosopher. You are what the ancient Greeks sought to become.
    On note of the video, this is fascinating. I don't truly understand most of it, but your diagrams and pointing things out helps with keeping track.
    Glad you've decided to use your voice and not just diagrams or AI. I don't hate those who use AI, I understand the desire to not use your own voice, but hearing a human voice is nice; makes it easier to form a connection with what's being said.

    This was a great video! The lore of Genshin can be complicated at times but you explained it all so well.
    What I always think about and find absolutely stunning is that it's all connected. It feels like listening to a docu of a long forgotten civilization instead of a Gacha game, haha. We got notes of Rene's expeditions to the Sumeru desert all the way in 3.6
    Also I much prefer listening to real voices, sometimes I have trouble understanding the AI words, because english isn't my native language and they kinda fail at pronouncing certain words. You pronounce Narzissenkreuz so well, the AI would have failed with that.

    Thats what i like about Genshin, you TRUELY TRUELY feel like are experiencing another world because all the laws and physics stays consistent to a T. And also it can be some little info you read in a side quest or a book and then you end up seeing or experiencing things they talked about later on through things like characters, story, locations, or events
