  7. I have a theory that Mondstadt or just Barbatos attacked Khannri'ah. Cause Mondstadt is based on Germany and may cover the dark history . Germany is a very cristian country and in the past they dont tolerate other religions and saw them as godless worshippers. And i dont think that Celestia, literly godly beings , would attack a city directly

  9. I was waiting avidly for your new lore video, thanks. Actually I was wondering if the primordial one could have used his egg shell to jail Teivat inside it, and separate it from the rest of the universe…? So Teivat would be as supposed a bubble world, like a snow globe? But why? Does the primordial one wanted his own personal world? So many questions…and the more we learn, more questions …

  10. there's a theory I read recently that the children may parallel the archons. at base, the naivete/ignorance they have at times may be similar. what would be your thoughts about that also?also, the number 7, as far as I recall is a divine number. 7 dragon lords, 7 archons, 7 sunchildren…
    the sacrificing the body part from the manga that you mention, reminds me of Tiamat(also called queen of dragons? I know she had a similar title), her body split in half by Marduk, creating the Heavens and Earth.
    oh, and seems zhongli too is half dragon half qilin, according to lore.
    the chronos theory might be the more probable one, with the rest being in Celestia. but if they are, why and what's the goal and why they're seemingly evil? i thought phanes and his shades wanted to help humanity and were good. the more I think of everything, my head is spinning. I'm thinking, did they betray phanes for the second throne?
    I wonder if we'll have sumerian lore as well, because it has some similar deities/associations. Listened something today about a triple god of Babylon(Morning star, Sun and Moon, each associated with a big deity).
    And regarding tiamat from before, Tiamat with her husband Absu/Abzu were also the first pair that gave birth to many gods. looked her up and she is associated with chaos and the sea(?), and is depicted as a serpent/dragon in later periods.

    this comment is a mess, it's late, and I'm not very good at putting my ideas in order.

  14. I have a theory that we have been playing the game mostly in the Abyss. There was three tiers of Tevat and one of them collapsed. The one under it was rended asunder. This means the top level collapsed into the one under it and sent that one down a level.

  15. In case you aren’t aware, Venti has already stated that Pangu did indeed create other worlds. And him two others died to create those distant worlds.
    He also says Ymir’s brain is in the clouds. I think Ymir’s brain is sitting in Celestia

  17. Those cosmological origins you mentioned will be considered a lie by Scaramouche and further by Lumine's Abyssal revelation once either Natlan, Snezhnaya and Khaenri'ah regions got released

    As Genshin Impact's main Gnostic inspiration have most of Gnostic Cosmological interpretations being the only Faith in real life antiquity which rejects Ancient Classical pagan primordiality of Chaos occurring in every National Pagan Cosmology (as declared by authors to "On The Origin of The World" to Sethian "Secret Book of John"), declaring Chaos and void has origin in the corners of Pleroma's Barbelo, where Chaos or Tehom is where Demiurge and divinities sprout and emerged to the creation of the universe, with them being distant emanations of Barbelo but acts independently to their own, becoming origins of realms, worlds and nations alongside Barbelo being often portrayed as either Androgynous and Primordial Tree

    The point of "Gnostic" Cosmological models is to reject local and national origins into underlying universal Truth, this is why so many boomers can't help but likin Matrix Trilogy so much in their cultural unconscious or the current generations likes being "woke", or everyone holds their own secret Truth, everyone's Images are Microcosm to the Grand Macrocosm and therefore putting emphasis to individual's free will against the concept of Fate(s) reflecting Allogenes having their free will having aspiration crystallised and materialised into Visions

    This is much like how both Genshin has characters like Abyss Princess Lumine having forethought in her neverending war against Destiny, or Otto's Schicksal (with Schicksal literally German translation to "Destiny") being a main antagonist in Honkai Impact or real life Christian Gnostics' against the abstractions of Fate(s) as personified in three goddesses Archetype (either as Hekate or Capitoline Triad)

  18. Here is the real question, who or what were the 7 Sovereigns of old ruling over?

    In the Byakuyakoku Collection it's clear Phanes didn't create the world for the world already existed before Phanes arrive. Why they made it seem like Phanes created the world, I don't know?

    Also because the 7 Sovereigns were called Dragon lords doesn't necessarily meant they were dragons.

    Why I say this is because the Bathysmal Vishaps are considered impure, because they undergone evolution after living under the depths for ages. Also they were considered having linguistic intelligence of a 12 year old child, meaning before evolution they may have been able to communicate like people.

    ( "the linguistic capacities of vishaps four generations down are starting to approach that of a 12-year-old human student. Perhaps it might be more accurate to say that vishaps always had their own methods of communication, and what they are displaying here is their ability to learn." )

    Also the prophecy of the Dragon of Water is said to surely descend in the form of a human. Why human? Are they saying the human form was the form of these creatures before evolution, and was it that these 7 Sovereigns of old before Phanes were also human forms?

    A far stretch theory of mine is that beings like Zhongli, Adepti, Raiden are descendants of the creatures that lived under the rule of the 7 Sovereigns. Phanes only vanquish the 7 Sovereigns not the nations ruled under them. And yes, those 7 Sovereigns ruled over 7 nations. Again clearly Phanes didn't created the world, it just stole it.

    So after Phanes stole the world it then reconstruction it to it's liking, it created it's form of humans and alongside them it ordered the beings of old to guide and protect humanity. Those who would not kneel were cast in the ocean, according to the book.

    ("and the seas and oceans accepted those who rebelled and those who would not kneel.")

    And where does the ocean leads? To the depths ofcourse, to the Nether. The Abyss is also located in the Nether. Does this mean the Abyss Order are creatures of the 7 Sovereigns ent to the Nether by Phanes because they didn't kneel.

    If you look at it, all the gods we've met so far have a certain distain to Celestia. If you are serving the gods why would you have such an attitude? Simple, you have no other choice but to. Would you go up against a God (Phanes) that single handedly killed 7 of the most powerful beings of old.

    Another stretch is that it's possible the Travelers are also one such creature. Why would I say that?

    Well, we have high affinity to the elements. Humans need a vision or a delusion as a catalyst to use the elements. However we the traveler, the abyss creatures, the so call gods or archons and not forget the HILICHURLS don't.

    If that's the case it could mean this planet was the home to all these creatures including us the traveler. Yes, this was our home planet, we and the abyss were it's indigenous people before Phanes.

    After we arrive, our Abyss found this out. They tried to go up against the Gods using the power of Khaneriah and the Abyss but failed. After which they woke their other twin and tried to escape. After trying to escape failed too, they are now trapped under the world of a God not their own and trapped from escaping this world. Now the only way out is for them to engulf the thrones of the heavens.

  19. I wanna point out that the Four Shades could be Genshin's version of the four luminaries from Gnosticism. The four luminaries were made out of the Monad (true God). That's all the info I know about them based off of Wikipedia.

  21. It also leaves many questions, like why is Kairos the only one to respond to the people of Enkanomiya? Why did Phanes prohibit them from entering the surface, even though they thought that the war is over?

    Also, if Phanes is the true creator of Teyvat, according to the book, why did he leave the world (idk where I saw that quote, pls tell inform me if found)? Did the second who claimed to be the fake god (Demiurge) took over the world of Teyvat, and cover everything like the true creator doesn’t exist?

    Yup, I speak nonsense around, but you know what I mean..

  26. Just as a precision, Clymene was actually the caretaker for two of the sunchildren, Piramumon and Orupeusu; not 7 as you said. Or at least, that's what she tells you during the quest ^^ Thanks for this video!

  31. I REALLY LOVE HOW YOU SHOW YOUR VIDS IT REALLY DOES FEEL LIKE A DOCUMENTARY. If one day perchance that genshin has already been completed, I don't mind seeing you cover other lores and theories, thank you so much for this! You made the game so much more interesting

  34. I think Phanes and their four shades are represented in the artifact sets structure. Phanes is the god of Reason, and their shades are Time, Space, Life and Death. God of Times is Kairos, God of Life probably helped Phanes to create, well, life, and God of Space might be the Sustainer, because she is based on the Herrscher of the Void who has space manipulation abilities. Or, if her cubes really contain human souls and are connected to the Chamber of Guf, then the Sustainer might be God of Death. I like the latter version more, because, you know, Evangelion references and all
