if azhdaha has traveled all teyvat, why doesn't he remember someone like morax? if morax existed before teyvat was changed..why is it not recognized by a dragon, moreover, a very ancient one..? this gives the impression that zhongli does not belong to teyvat in my opinion. Or im wrong ?
Zhongli has always been the odd one out within the archon circle:
1. His statue is the only one that holds a cube thus far. Everyone else's holds a sphere.
2. He is the only one without a "similar counterpart". Every other archon has a being that was either identical or similar to them, thus representing the duality of nature (Venti+Bard; Makoto+Ei; Rukha+Nahida; Furina+Focalor) (They don't have to be related, but their appearance is always similar).
3. He is the only one who signed a contract directly with the Tzaritza without being pressured, as far as we know.
4. He is the only one with a confirmed and seen other form (Venti has one, but it's his original one, not yet another one)
I truly can't wait until the day Hoyo finally spills the tea on our fine gentleman!
There is a mistake, Zhongli, if one knows his origin and the reason he has lived so long, is that he has dragon blood, being a kirin, something similar to ganyu.
He was also born when the Geo dragon fell. He has not been since Fanes arrived but since the War of Revenge or rather the first cataclysm.
There were 2 eras, the era of ancient civilization and dragons more than 6,000 years ago, and the era of the gods or archons (as I call it) that began with the fall of the pillars. It is at the beginning of this new era that Zhongli is possibly born. of the same Geo dragon blood with some elemental being such as the kirin or by the energies of the Geo dragon itself and the fragments of authority that several obtained, given that Morax is half kirin half dragon.
Maybe zhongli is geo Dragon but then reborn 6000 years ago
As I am accustomed to a beautiful performance, narrating the most beautiful images and logical evidence that is carefully linked together, I can only thank you for your wonderful effort, as usual.
I don't remember who said this but someone said that Neuvillete confirmed having multiple constellations because the Melusines are into "Astrologie" and like reading his constellation for him so he created a diffrent one for them to read so they won't find out about his identity
I am glad i have zhongli as f2p he is op
I don't think Zhongli is the geo sovereign since we all know that he is the prime adeptus and Celestia wouldn't let a geo sovereign to take the role of an archon.But here's the thing,Personally I believe that he is related to the geo sovereign most probably a descendant of that dragon or something.The dragon horns on his head kind of gives it away,no?Anyways,let me what you think about this theory of mine.
Love your theory videos on Zhongli! Always very interesting to ponder on
So, if Neuvillette got some memories from his previous incarnation, maybe he now knows who Zhongli really is. That was something I wanted to see him talk about but I guess we'll have to wait. I love Neuvillette but Zhongli will always be my favorite character. I would hate to see them on opposite sides in the final battle.
to those who say zhongli is a dragon like neuvillette, he is NOT.
just a reminder that zhongli's dragon form is an exuvia, it is not his real form/self, an exuvia is like a clothing (or a puppet) that he can control and discard, and he did discard it. it is now on display in the golden house.
Maybe zhongli is actually from celestia as you know celestia itself is not heavenly principles there r many other gods residing in there, like one of the gods who took our twin. In English text the character story says rex lapis descended but in Chinese text it says abdicated instead of descended, which means he's been demoted/resigned himself from celestia and became an archon or he's an celestia spy to watch other other archons in general teyvat.
I don't fully understand why people always deny the possibility that Zhongli could be one of the dragons, "because Celestia wouldn't allow him to become an archon" but the thing is, we don't know yet if Celestia even knows that Neuvillette is a dragon. wouldn't they also try to prevent him to be this close to an archon, if they knew about his heritage? Same goes for Zhongli, why does everyone presume that Celestia miraculously knew who he really is? It feels like people expect Celestia to be all knowing, but we learned that they can be fooled. So why couldn't Zhongli just have pulled a similar stunt?
zhongli is old. REALLY old he was around when the moon sisters were around still alive and that would mean he was alive when the seele were still living in celestia or right when they were expelled. he could've been alive when the second who came after attacke…maybe. but he wasn't alive before celestia arrived. there is a book that talks about how he firt descended to teyvat ppl thought he was a descender (he isn't) and the original translation was demoted. he could've been sent down by celestia , i mean the nail he uses to free azdaha look a lot like the one celestia uses. however it says the moon sisters alive in a time when zhongli was young. it would seem he was created in teyvat as he was still what would be considered a child to young adult.
It's just cuz their story quests focous on something else other than themselves. Zhongli's chapter is "ancient history" and Neuvillette's is "flood."
Can Morax be a the Geo sovereign dragon? He is the only one taht speaks to us about a contract, and i think that Apep mentioned "traitors".
I'd like to suggest that characters with story quests named differently from their constellations are "individuals under a different system". As neuvillette's character story suggested: he is a dragon and thus shouldn't be confined by the current Teyvat's "fate". His constellation is probably fake. And story quests are, in essence, us watching characters acting out their predestined fate. So one whose story quest has a different name might mean that they aren't following their destiny.
More (theories) about Neuvillette:
It's uncomfirmed and is regarded as a theory but there are hints that leads to the conclusion of Neuvillette and Scylla being the same person, or at least Scylla being the first Hydro Dragon Sovereign.
Scylla was never mentioned as a dragon sovereign; but he is called as prince dragon in Remuria tales. This also fit the narrative of Sovereign Dragons hierarchy. If Nibelung is the King among all Sovereign Dragons, then it would make sense if Scylla is dubbed as a 'prince' dragon.
Scylla the dragon prince gave Remus a magical goblet, he then helped Remus to build Remuria; Fontaine's ancient civilisation (and then Remus became the king of Remuria). Later on, Remus went mad and soon the the kingdom faced it's own end. Eventually, Scylla saw when one of the Shades, specifically The Shade of Life forcefully took the title of 'The Heart of the Primordial Sea' from him and gave it to a god (most probably Egeria).
Scylla was then sealed by Boethius, the best bard in Remuria kingdom by stealing the golden ichor from Remus and sealed Scylla beneath the Remuria tower that eventually got swept and fell into the abyss, taking Scylla and the entirety of Remuria alongside it.
It is unconfirmed whether Scylla is the first (and currently previous) Hydro Sovereign, but it is confirmed that Neuvillette is the reincarnation of the previous Hydro Sovereign.
Neuvillette blatantly stated that he remembers the day when the Ursurper came and forcefully took his authority, he remembers the creation of Egeria, and he also remembers they day when Egeria commited her 'sin'. (See Neuvillette profile voice-over > Interesting Things: Vishaps, and see Neuvillette profile story > A Fontainian Nursery Rhyme).
Neuvillette also gave hints in his teapot voiceline that he wishes everyone in this world to live with their rightful rights; their true form. To quote, "…But if you're asking about the long term, and I would want all life to be able to live on in the original forms that are rightfully theirs. " After replying a little to Traveler, he continued, "You're right, I… I'm saying that more for myself to hear than anything else."
Personally, I think this could be interpreted that Neuvillette feels trapped in his (current) form. That maybe he's stuck or sealed in this human form, just like how Scylla was sealed beneath the Remuria Tower in the story.
Funny enough, Neuvillette also hinted that he is aware of the existence of Teyvat as a snowglobe, that the sky is fake and there is something else beyond the firmament.
First hint is in his character demo, with the visuals of cracks in the sky. (But that could also be interpreted as the coming of the All-Devouring Narwhal, though in the 4.2 cutscene, the Narwhal cracked from BELOW, not from ABOVE, so it's still up for debate).
Second hint is his teapot voiceline. He mentioned how unfair this world can be under the influence of Celestia. To quote, "If you too, found yourself to be subject to grave injustice, yet bound to rules that are twisted and warped you must be willing to step up and right those wrongs."
Third hint about the world beyond Teyvat's' firmament, and that Neuvillette said that he'll wait the day when the Traveler can face Celestia's injustice and leave Teyvat. To quote, "If you cannot break free from the eggshell, the world is naught but a prison where you are blinded and confined. Do not be afraid of bleak desolation and poverty outside the prison, and don't fret about your stable rations being cut off once the prison is destroyed. Outside that world… I will always be waiting for you."
Another thing worth mentioning, Neuvillette calls Zhongli “Deus Auri”, but all the other archons by their godly names. And as we know, every name carries a story, not even Venti refers to him as that and he’s the oldest known friend of Zhongli.
The greatest similarity between Zhongli and Neuvillette is that both are masters of bureaucracy and will settle their differences through a Yu-Gi-Oh duel, with Cyno as the judge.
He was never affected by the Irminsul tree either. Which tells me he that celestial doesn’t have control over Jhongli. He is definitely not from Teyvat.
