I have seen alot of folk talking about how Morax didn't need the gnosis to make mora back before the Archon war and that's true. But he also didn't need the gnosis to protect liyue or to win the all the battles that he did. He caged Osial the first time without it, but then the second time he had to make sure everything was OK before handing over the gnosis. This means that their powers were locked up in the gnosis. It doesn't matter what they could do before the Heavenly Principles locked them into their laws or else they could obviously turn around and rebel. The whole thing about visions proves this too. Being forced to share their power with humans with strong wills is more evidence that there power is not all their own.
Aether and lumines true powers are of that of gold it makes sense not just will amd reason like will the sun and reason the moon so like that lumine might actually live or like a flower returning to its home turm to dust she may die but for her to be recorded in irmansual she gad of died once and i think in some wierd way she did due to the abyss which may have captured her spirit mot her body but is comtrolering her body even if she remembers aether the abyss are puppting her tilll the drive her to the end ams they heavens and earth are disolved in to nothing
Another video had a pretty solid reasoning for Zhong'li being one of the first dragons. I agree with pretty much everything else you're cookin'.
18:51 ooh thats SUCH a cool idea!! Ive seen plenty of people suggest that the Fatui are actually doing all this for a benevolent goal but ive never seen this take on it, that they're PURPOSELY being unecessarily cruel at times to ensure that in the memory of the world theyre nothing more than villains, that theres a very functional reason why theyre not telling everyone what theyre actually aiming for and getting the whole world united under a common aim. Those have always been the points that made the idea of them being revealed to be heroes later not sit right with me, but this is a completely reasonable explanation 😮
Nice video, but he didn't fight at the Chasm. Bosacius's records show us that he was the only adeptus present there as well. The Lord of Geo was probably at Khenriah itself.
I feel like is video to slow not long I mean the way of formations is not full idk how to say it but u got the idea I guss
Or at least he used to be. Grandpa is +6 thousand years old, all that erosion is starting to kick in. And he gave up his gnosis another major weakening to his case.
I still think he is a strong god, but nowadays he may be weaker than raiden with her gnosis. Maybe at the same level of her actual status.
But above the mascot gods (cabbage and the drunk boy)
his spears were the size of mountains. despite his lean build, geo is considered defensive, and even after that he DRAGGED azhdaha up to the surface and out of the pit.
he was a god killer, because of him the Venti Power scalers used his relationship with Venti to scale him above all the other gods before him because he hated venti. (from the mountain descriptions in the tea pot.) Zhongli threw MOUNTAINs at Venti.
although Neuvillete has a direct statement he is stronger than the archons in terms of power. so theres only hope and speculations whether he is stronger than a primordial dragon. Because, he is a God killer and was the strongest in the archon war racking the highest kill count, so we don't know if his statement is the current Zhongli or the during archon war Zhongli
Zhongli and venti still have so many things we don't know
Finally someone says it. I am not here to throw mud on Complete Dragonhood Neuvilette, and maybe he is stronger than Morax as well, but I am willing to bet that the gap is not as wide as people may think. A battle between current Zhongli and current Neuvilette can go either way, it wont be a one sided slaughter. Neuvilette may have the authority back but he is still a young dragon. He does not have 6000 years of combat experience that Morax Commands. He does not have Morax's strategic genius that he cultivated after years of fighting and learnt from Guizhong. Neuvilette also doesnt have the same presence as the leader as Morax have for liyue, Neuvilette is the protector and fontaine looks up to him. Zhongli is a leader and entire Liyue will march into battle for him. He was there when the nail hit the chasm. He subdued(not kill) a lot of gods. A lot of gods are still alive, like Osial, and have been sealed by Morax's power for 2000+ years with no signs of that seal weakening. Osial managed to get free momentarily because Zhongli allowed childe to go ahead with his plan. You have to understand that this man's power is so strong that a seal placed 2000+ years ago is not even budging while he casually sips tea listening to stories at a teahouse. Imprisoning a strong opponent is much more impressive than killing them. A lot of people just sleep on him just because we saw Ei's prowess in person PLUS musojin gorge gives us a skewed perspective. Ei was a soldier. A general. A weapon of war. I am very sorry to Ei fans, but she has not been good for Inazuma. Yashiori island got fcked because of her slash. Maybe she could have handled Seirai island's situation a little better. All of htese are problems originating from the fact that Ei could not stop them without killing them. On the other hand, Morax protected everyone, by imprisoning the gods instead. And even if he killed Gods, he made sure there is a group that is cleaning up(Yaksha) so that it doesnt affects the land of Liyue. He has probably been the best leader/king figure we have seen in this game.
If i have to categorize what role would they play in a war
Zhongli is the King that leads the entire nation into war, commands forces, makes strategies, etc etc.
Mavuika and Raiden are the Generals who leads the forces personally into a battle.
Venti is the bard who raises the morale of the nation.
Neuvilette is the protector who isnt sent into the battle but the one that you keep close to protect the people and camps. He is the last line of defense along with the King, Morax.
Nahida(and Makoto if she was alive) are strategists. Nahida also doubles up as doctor/gives people peace of mind by using her powers to save crumbling psyche while Makoto ensures the nation still has some form of governance while the war is ongoing.
Prime Zhongli or the first Haboryn might be the strongest Archon, Ei ir Mavuika following closely behind. Ei might defeat Zhongli mid to high diff, depends how you look at her. Mavuika at full power might be as strong as prime Zhongli but we only have single showcase of Mavuika's more serious level of power, even then we don't know if it was her going absolutely all out or if she was even as strong as the first Pyro Archon. Yet we all know that Otter dragon would fold all of them no diff
ooooh Zhongli as Gold (not just earth) embodied, the core of every transmutation, perfection itself is SUCH and interesting angle!
It’s evident that Primordial Jade Cutter was not for Guizhong when it’s well known that she’s not a fighter, a reason why she allied with Zhongli in the first place in the Archon War. And in the description, it said “when Liyue first arose”, Liyue was founded after Guizhong’s death and Guili Assembly was flooded. I don’t know who the “certain someone” would be or the “long forgotten friend”, but it clearly isn’t Guizhong.
Seeing Deus Auri, Zhongli’s other name mentioned again….I now figured out another theory that Zhongli might have been a Vidyadhara, hiding his dragonic features, but also as a High Elder since that name is like Imbibitor Lunae. The way he changes into other appearances can be a case of cloudhymn magic itself too.
His rock and the Hexanexus puzzles resemble each other after all, and it would make so much other sense to why he always seemed to be a different person back in his prime is maybe because he goes through another hatching rebirth but keeping his former memories? Idk but Deus Auri is literally like a High Elder name vibe
I do not believe he needs the gnosis to create gold. he first minted mora 3700 ago and the archon war didnt end until 2000ish yrs ago. also, when we finish the liyue archon quest, he implies that he can create mora. However, since he's a "mortal," now he wants to live fairly as a mortal and not cheat by making himself mora.
For me, he was and still is the most interesting character in this game (even more than the sinners or Hexenzirkel) I just wish we would know more about his past or the connection he had with those 1000+ years in the past.
Things that made me curious(I don't know if we got updated yet) are there is one city in the chasm that is related to gold and his connection with dragon and descender.
Dropping meteors like nothing
If i remember correctly at the end of the azdaha quest he said he still can't share what happened 500 years ago so he's still bound by some contacts
Yeah yeah people always meme about him fearing Neuvilette because of Neuvi's lines but as much as I love Neuvilette I'm not sure if he could beat him. Neuvilette has both archon and soverign powers awoken yes, but Zhongli is a 6000 year old archon who bodied god after god in the Archon War, it's a tough match
Actually, he probably sealed several gods and didn't kill them.
The question that keeps nagging at me is why did he come to Teyvat in the first place?
And does he perhaps come from a world that no longer exists, that was destroyed, presumably by Nibelung?
So the destruction of the dragon order and the suppression of Teyvat's nature was probably more of a retaliation and a necessity so that humanity could survive.
Is he even one of the architects of Teyvat and its fake sky?
I think so.
Gold is created when a star becomes a supernova and its meteor literally comes out of the sky.
Creating gold means fusing neutrons through all the lighter elements. What the hell.
If I want to think about it further, I'm coming to the idea that Teyvat isn't even a planet, but at most a part of one.
And I assume that gold as a natural ore does not exist on Teyvat.
1:33 Anyone else notice the effect on Zhongli's shield that looks very similar to the cubes of the unknown god? His in gameplay shield also has this effect. And as shown in the cutscene, also similar to the unknown god, these cubes have a red aura emanating around them, while the unknown god's cubes are also gold and red. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! 1 more thing, Zhongli's hair doesn't glow in this cutscene, suggesting that he isn't using his true power, however in gameplay his hair does glow when using his shield, so idk what to think of this. We'll just have to wait for a lore drop on Zhongli I guess
there are some informations that are false, probably because you haven't finished some quests and stories prior to creating this video. But the most important at start is that – Melusines are creations of Abyss and not Primordial sea. Because Elynas we already found out is abyssal monster created by one of the Hexenzirkel and descended to Teyvat along with Dragonspine;s dragon wrecking havoc that they were unaware by themself of. But about Rex lapis, yeah he is still the biggest enigma in the story. And also I think he is connected to Honkai or at least know about them and also about Teyvat's true identity.. also there aren't actually ''gods'' those are ''deities''.
As Ei herself says he's story is not over yet.
This has sooo many lore capsules that itsyunsane.
1. His pre archon war existence is still a mystery
2. He knows alot of the swcrets feomntgat Era
3. He furst hand experienced the Arvhon war, and would is probably be the most accurate record of that time period
4. AND He has Guizhong's memory capsule….
Like he's a walk-in time capsule carrying soo many capsules
Of course he survived.:.. just look at his shield, nothing gets past that 😑😑🤣🤣🤣
Another fact about Zhongli, in his 2nd story quest he told the traveler that he is a "Witness" and that if anyone would remember the history of Teyvat it would be the traveler himself, fast forward to Sumeru and we learn that the Traveler is the 4th descender and a witness to Teyvat, not only that but he is not affected by Irminsul as he was the only one who never forgot Greater Lord Rekkadevata
Makes you realize that Zhongli somehow not only knows the true identity of the Traveler, but even aware of Teyvat's history being changed across the eras through Irmissul and that some memories have been completely wiped out from existene.
The similarities between Zhongli's eye makeup and neuvillette's and In the chasm quest with xiao zhongli was able to Repel darkness and save xiao from basically the karmic boosted abyss.
I fookin love his burst. Xd meteor smash with flex pose
Neuvillete would still win . Most of the things people say in zhongli's arguments are only speculations not facts . And the fact is neuvillete holds full authority over the element hydro as a fully fledged dragon sovereign. Morax never had this level of power . He's strong but not strong enough to beat neuvillete.
