In this video, I figured out (or at least I tried to) who the Unknown God in Genshin Impact is. It turned out to be quite long, but nonetheless, I hope you like it.

This might be the first time ive heard a theory that paints the archons as defenders instead of destroyers of Khaenri'ah. Interesting.
son, how do u only have 643 subs. This is unacceptable. im making it 644
I thought that was Magical girl Sirin costume of HoV
The unknown god cant be Paimon since Paimon is my emergency food.
Tsarista is the god of love btw
Its kiana kaslana/sirin :>
As the ingame files shows the NPC names… Asmoday aka… Asmodeus.
Just found your channel through this vid and I'm not even minutes in and I'm already having a blast, you are hella entertaining man, Keep it up what you are doing is really special (to me at least!)
Idk but this is just kinda sus to me:
A gnosis is proof that you are an archon of a Nation. And have the ability to get divine powers directly from Celestia. In Celestia, The (Guardian of the Galaxy) or Unknown God is the sustainers of heavinly principles. = she sustains the divine power of Celestia. This is just smth sus to me, also also Tsaritsa may be trying to get all the gnoses to revenge that unknown god for destroying Khaenri'ah. There are already Gods who weren't the reason why Khaenri'ah was destroyed. (Ei's sister died because she had a battle against the unknown god) thats why Ei doesn't want anyone else to die like what happened to Khaenri'ah. So maybe Tsaritsa is trying to stop the unknown god from destroying another nation. very sus idk lol
To be honest the God of void is probably the abyss hearld. If you remember the archon quest "We will be re-united" the abyss hearld said something about "He was the one who was protecting khanrei'ah" we all know its dainsleif. And in my theory dainsleif is the one leading the god of void because we all know he's one of the most powerful person we have met in the abyss. And if im not mistaking abyss=void so that means abyss herald was the true god of the void. And i think that he became the god when khanrei'ah was destroyed. He seeks revenge to the human world.
For the “god of ???” around the 8:47 mark, I’m pretty sure I remember being told that the Cryo archon is (or was) the goddess of love
You forgot the God of salt
it looks like sirin from honkai
at the end of the electro archon quest we see that the unknown god have killed the original electro archon (baal)
and now ei is taking her place with no one knowing
also they are the ones above the archons and the sustainer …
is the discord mods of teyvat
If paimon isn't the god of time, i'm throwing hands
Is there any possibility that you have german roots?
I ask because you are legit the first english-speaking youtuber i known, who pronounced "Mondstadt" the right way. xD
And great video btw.. 😀
Hello everyone! I have been thinking and, Kiana may be Unknown God, because in Honkai Impact 3rd(i dont play it as much), i think Kiana was controlled by someone and leaded her to being titled as Herrscher Of Void, or I say Unknown God!, this is just what i think, Electro Archon/Raiden Mei is confirmed, so most of the genshin characters may be based off honkai characters, like venti is based off of wendy!, Herrscher of Void is/or isnt/ unknown god! Electro Archon is electro archon/raiden mei, i'll be going bye
Is paimon the God of Time?
what are the odds she might've been a member of the first gens of the fatui- no the lost nation was peaceful tho..
I think other 2 elements will be light and dark why u ask eather and lumine were making energy ball of light and unknown god was using dark energy cube this must be 2 other element ( time and space god may exist like paimon time god and space god is still un known)
No only she can't telport even twins can do because they travel world to world that means they teleport as well
God Of Time: Paimon
Why is Herrscher of the void here?
Wait time is dainsleifs power
I feel personally we should separate Genshin from Honkai. I'm aware of there similarities but… I don't know, just I feel they're not related.
Funny how the Kiana of Honkai Impact is trying to fight for all that’s beautiful in the world and this one’s protecting the principles.
HoV also snaps her finger 👍
tbh the way you went about this seemed kinda weird in my head, i figured that the unknown god is simply a representation of the Demiurge or "Saklas" or whatever from the mythos of the Gnostics since genshin is based directly off of gnostic texts and calls upon a few things of other esoteric texts that are a bit farther off. I have limited knowledge of gnosticism but it still is an obvious parallel. If you look into "the black pullet" there are some parallels for the intro of the game and references to the holy war and what not. The Unknown God is just called the sustainer, which the Demiurge is also sometimes referred to.
This is the most direct route(since genshin is based off of Gnosticism hence all the god fighting), but a lot of gnostic mythos comes from older mythologies like the old judaic texts and things before that so it makes sense that looking into the older gods could make it easier to understand ig.
The other thing about the Archons, they exist in judaic texts (i think idk cant remember clearly) but are very prominent in the gnostic texts as well as allogenes, so those are where they're pulled from. Again they exist to enact a lot of the laws created by the "false god" who essentially controls the material reality(You could think of that as space and time ig)
On top of this, us humans supposedly are divine in nature and are able to transcend the mortal coil if we are able to pass through the illusion of the material and lower worlds. If you look into the tree of life appropriated by the Gnostics, you can find connections to the transcendence of the human soul through the sephirot and the floors of the abyss. The abyss being the direct opposite to celestia and the gods, this implies that through cultivation of the abyss, it is possible to transcend beyond the gods that hold people in teyvat under control which could explain why the second twin is working with the abyss to fight against "destiny" or the reality that celestia controls.
So i can pull all of this from a very surface understanding of gnostic cosmology. Tbh it explains everything, and i could have sworn the game devs have already stated that the game is based off of Gnosticism so that's where I first went to look. Sorry for the kinda messy idea but that's what I think i guess.
