Why Time is Not The 8th Element (Genshin Impact Theory)



What is common between God of Time, The King Gnosis, 8th Element and Paimon? Join me in exploring the in-game lore for this topic. What importance time plays in the world of Genshin Impact and how it affects everyone. We will go through No Mere Stone’s core lore points as well as Transient Dream’s most interesting links with time. Let us look at the arguments made for Paimon’s connections with Time and if they are as valid as they seem to be. I hope you enjoy the video 😀

  1. So here's a thought. What if the whole celestial getup that paimon has is actually like a leash celestia has put on her? It's weird see…. dain also wears stuff like paimon (albeit a darker tone) but we know that he was cursed with immortality or in other words "the gods put a leash on his being, not even granting him the kindness of death". Not saying paimon is istaroth but maybe an important shade of time and wind like venti who was born way before he was so he has no clue.

  2. Well, I still think time is the 8th element, why? From primordial 1 (as I claimed to be true god), he/she make 4 shades (as I saw as 4 horsemen because genshin kinda twist demonic/satanic world to become the saint one), then from 4 shades to 8 archons, we know Istaroth is the god of 2 elements, we just need to wait for other shades, are they the master of 2 elements or not. The second one that comes (our first enemy "unknown god") crash or remodels the shades to be archons, to have her own soldier and also kill the OG 4 shades, and claim all the creation of true god to be hers because true god creation are too powerful and cool to be wasted (second one motiv kill primordial one is envy). Raiden said that Istaroth is a superior being to archons, yes, but we don't know if she knows or not that 4 shades are their true form. Why does no one remember time archon? She is like the Inazuma sacred tree, born or matured in the future but already lived in past, imagine venti story when she is a tiny baby wind and always with that bard? Yeah, the same story with us and Paimon then, she is still not an Archon yet, same mother (Istaroth) then the same kind of habit, following a rebellious hero. Well, Istaroth is already dead (or sealed or whatever), but he/she can travel anytime before he/she died that's why we sometimes encounter his/her doing in various sets of time.

  3. I don't really remember the exact text of before sun and moon but the primordial one didn't create humanity it released the ark I f humanity into tyvat after defeating the dragons

  4. idk what paimon can be but she looks like a celestial god(cuz any living thing related to celestia is a god) and there is no confirm that the second one defeated the primordial one and even if they did and took their positions they probably can't like reboot the world to look like they want so everything must've stayed like the primordial one created so paimon being a celestia reference and that she lines up with kinda everything in tyvat may means that she is a shade of the primordial one cuz I don't think that the primordial one is a childish small girl so maybe a shade not necessarily istaroth

  5. There will be implement of new element and weapon type in future, this is MiHoYo after all. Honkai impact is the fine example (new weapon and new battlesuit type). High likely there will be scythe/ gauntlet / chakram in genshin 🤔

  6. Going on from the Ars Goetia demon names, the reason that I disagree that Kusanali is not the Dendro Archon is because Kusanali is not a name. I've had a couple disagree with me saying the game has already confirmed that it's Kusanali, in which then the game has done it's intended purpose: to trick us. It could be that Kusanali is not the actual name, but it feels odd that Yae Miko as Ei's familiar wouldn't know the true name of the Dendro Archon. And knowing her, she too could be deceiving us with her words by us not being specific enough. Yae Miko also states Kusanali is the deity that Sumeru places their faith in. There is no mention of god or archon in the same sentence as Kusanali.

  7. Even if the primordial one lost the war l think the primordial one is still somewhere and l think in the end we will meet them and the primordial one will tell us about something extremely important and then l don't know but sooner or later we will fight the unknown god but the unknown god is not the final boss ….l think the unknown god is just a gatekeeper to not let any human go to celestia and if want to go to celestia we have to fight the unknown god and when we defeated the unknown god we will have to find a way to go in celestia and in celestia the real fight beings ……And the final boss is the second one ……And l think the god of time is still somewhere and l think they are hiding somewhere or they changed their appearance ……This is just a theory ok this is not canon ……..

  8. What if Istaroth is Teyvat's god of time while Paimon is Celestia*s god of time. She may not be an archon but a god itself. Celestia wasn't a part of Teyvat so it's very like Two branches of gods came from two places

  9. Then why does the time change in a matter if seconds plus for all we know paimon was istaroth and now her memories have been removed and she has less than half of her original powers and also since celestia removed her memories and showed her to be a mascot of celestia the real of the game is not only to find the sibling of the mc but also the actual identity of paimon which must be retained from celestia

  10. Hey cat, from the video above it says that erosion occurs naturally and over time with memory loss and changes in memory. But we know the fox envoys (kitsunes) have excellent memory and can remember events for a long time (centuries etc) . So are the kitsunes an exception to the concept of erosion ? Or is it inevitable for them too ?

  11. One interesting thing that someone pointed out about Paimon is the fact that she never leaves the Traveler alone, except if they're with an Archon.
    Signora froze her but Venti was there, Paimon also left them alone with Venti during his quest, and the two were separated when Traveler entered Ei's consciousness. What are the potential risks of leaving them alone with a human? The Traveler doesn't seem to say or do anything that gives away who they are or what they know, and if Paimon is supposed to monitor them for Celestia I would think she would never leave them alone unless shes counting on the archon to watch them while shes gone. The only thing I can think of is that maybe during those two months they asked Paimon to do most of the talking for them for whatever reason. ( Maybe they still haven't mastered the language?)
    Anyway at least god of time is one option that has been checked off ( for now), hopefully we get more clues. Both characters are pretty interesting.

  13. I did like to hear your opinion about triquetra on Paimon's body that seems upside down
    And so far upside down triquetra represent bad things in Genshin like when there's no revival food, when all characters died ect ect
