[@emperormaxwell432]

Considering the sky itself is “fake”, there is no reason to believe the floating formation we see in said sky is really Celestia. If celestia is as taboo to speak about as it seems going by how vague the archons tend to be when discussing it, then just pointing up at some floating rocks in the sky and calling it Celestia can be an easy to use misdirect.

[@gywghhb]

That could very well be the case. But it’s all speculation here before we have some concrete information on the gods

[@GrandHeresiarch]

"Celestia" is just a floating prison. Whatever rules might actually be hidden within the abyss or elsewhere.

Celestia has a massive center struture protruding above... Just like enkanomiya's masassive center structure... but on the opening screen.. it has infinite space and no center structure.

I think Celestia will be technologically advanced, with machines with more sleek designs compared to the ruin machines of Khaenri'ah. This is because of the Shogun Puppet, since the means to create her were not new. The pillars in the sky can definitely be the Heavenly Realm long abandoned after the loss of the primordial one, now it is a border where outlanders can enter and exit Teyvat.

Theory: scaramouche said the sky is fake. So what if the sky we see at the start of the game is actually the real sky, and the clouds are the fake sky that covers the real one up. It may also be that celestia uses the pillars to hold up the sky and can drop a pillar like a missile whenever want to.

[@frenchrevenge6406]

Agreed

[@PanRobak.]

Or as in one theory I have heard, if the sky is fake, the real sky could just as well be below the ground. The whole Teyvat would be upside down, and the "upside down" city we encounter in the Chasm would be in the correct position. And "heading down" the spiral abyss, we would actually be going upwards, to the real sky.

I personally feel that could be the realm between all the worlds. The twins were trying to escape tevyat and go into another world. I personally think it wouldn't make sense if they go into the heaven realm. So the gate could also mean that the twins are 're-entering' teyvat. It could also be theorized that the gaps between the pillars are pockets between the worlds and the twins dropped down in one specific pocket which would make sense why they were perhaps meteors ? This is probably highly inaccurate and your theory does sound more plausible haha

[@Ray-ri6uf]

I think that the loading screen is the gateway between worlds. We see it in the opening cutscene when the twins are trying to leave Teyvat and go onto the next world, and it’s also the loading screen. It’s like every time we open up the game again we tried to leave Teyvat and managed to get back to that place but we keep getting to the same door every single time. I think that there’s more doors on the loading screen that lead to other worlds but we can’t access them yet. If you think about it, it would be a great way to keep the game going and would even explain why the game trailer says “Teyvat Chapter”. Lemme know what you think :)

[@shikasi]

I just noticed that when the cutscene started where the twins were in a meteor, they flew over the *present* teyvat and not 500 years ago during the cataclysm. Does this mean our twin was sent to the past, instead of us being sent to the future?

[@Solxtia]

Nah they actually came here during the cataclysm, I think that scene doesn’t have any relevance. As for the other twin, i think they didn’t get sent there but rather they got stuck there and the twin that we chose got put to sleep for 500 years

@@mango_776 Yeah, whoever you chose (Aether or Lumine) both reveal that their other twin awoke first and was the one to tell them that they need to leave Teyvat or at the time Khaenri’ah.

[@tsuyo5500]

@@conquerorofevil8776 I'm going with ur theory

[@jokc8]

I never thought it was Celestia because it lacked “building” buildings. My initial thought was it’s like crossways between worlds. In the opening, it seemed like they were about to leave the world they were just in to the next. They might have come close to Teyvat gateway, or was the world they were going to. Before they can leave or enter, they were stopped by the Sustainer to punish them. I don’t think world jumping is the transgression. If so, Alice would also be a convict. I think their existence is what goes against their Heavenly Principles. As stated before, all must are to be affected by erosion. But the twins might be unaffected by erosion. Hence, why the Sustainer attacked them. Why they’re not being hunted, I don’t know, but they also don’t have all their powers back and are trapped in Teyvat. Maybe this is a way for Celestia to keep an eye on them. Hold them on their domain.

[@afzz1507]

I’m pretty sure the sustainer attacked them because our twin fought against Celestia alongside Khaneriah and the abyss during the cataclysm. According to lore, the twin explored Teyvat with Dainsleif whilst we were sleeping and after the cataclysm, the sibling woke us up so we could move to the next world

[@themrnobody100]

Now that I’m looking closer at the sprite of the floating island, the structure looks like a larger version of Dainichi Mikoshi. Since we know that the Dainichi Mikoshi can be turned on and off, I wonder if this structure can as well, and whether this function has something to do with the false sky that Scaramouche mentioned.

[@phanesisalive]

One connection we see between 'heaven' and Celestia is the gold symbol shared between the heavenly pillars and the statues of the seven. Oddly enough, it's also a symbol littered all over Paimon.

[@preserverofcoconutmilk756]

It does make sense if we think about how the doors open to us whenever we log in. Where exactly do we enter to as our default location after that? Right, to Teyvat. The same thing happens when we log out and we're brought back to the heavenly area possibly to then "exit" Teyvat.

[@cherrypoptart2001]

Genshin lore can more fascinating than some of the best animes. I cant wait to see how they'll tie in Honkai and other mihayo universes to all this

[@Mistenxal]

To me, the architecture of Celestia looks a bit futuristic(?), and I personally think it might not be from Teyvat. Since there’s lots of theories mentioning that the world of Honkai and Genshin are connected, it may be possible that Celestia may have something to do with Honkai. The world of Honkai looks a bit futuristic (at least the buildings and technology does), so this floating island in the sky known as Celestia may be from the world of Honkai Impact. I won’t be that surprised if Celestia has some connections with Honkai, as some other theories I’ve seen mentioned “Project A.R.K.” from Honkai. Try searching it up if you’d like to check it out. Since Project A.R.K. is searching from world to world (just like the twins) for a new place for humanity, it may have found Teyvat during their search. It may have somehow influenced Teyvat when it was found. I’m not sure if Celestia is directly from Project A.R.K., but it may be a possibility. Something else I’d like to point out is the archons from Celestia. I noticed so far that almost all of the archons’ physical appearances and even their names are extremely similar to the herrschers from Honkai Impact. Venti reminds me of Wendy, the herrscher of wind from Honkai, and Raiden Ei reminds me of Raiden Mei, the herrscher of thunder from Honkai Impact. The pyro archon’s name is Murata, which also happens to be Himeko Murata’s, possibly the herrscher of fire’s name. Even the unknown god from the beginning of the game reminds me of the herrscher of the void. I’m not sure if there is a herrscher that looks similar to Zhongli, but so far I have not discovered any. If all of them are connected to Celestia, the chances of Celestia is somehow related to Honkai is bigger. It could be possible that when Celestia was choosing its archons, maybe they transported some sort of power like and/or from the herrschers. The celestial gnosises given to the archons could be that “power” granted to them(?). Of course, this all might just be a coincidence or an Easter egg as Venti CHOSE to take the form of his deceased friend. But who knows? Knowing mihoyo, I heavily doubt this is all purely a coincidence or just an Easter egg/design made by mihoyo because they are the company of both games. Plus, Yae Miko reminds me of Yae Sakura, despite Miko not being an archon and Sakura not being a herrscher. So a character from genshin’s physical appearance being very similar to a character from Honkai may mean something we do not know yet. Thank you for taking the time to read! Of course, some parts may be inaccurate, so please correct me if it is! :]

Project Ark is most likely the Primordial One.

[@clairetruong8018]

Thank you this seems like very good point

[@serien194]

As someone who's played Honkai's storyline, just wanted to say that Murata Himeko isn't the Herrscher of Fire (said Herrscher isn't present in the Era of the main story), but she could wield fire so the point of the Pyro Archon being based off of her still stands

[@u1yahen]

@@serien194 in Previous Era there was a Herrscher of Fire who looked like Himeko, and had the same name (it was written like H.I.M.E.K.O.). They’re not related to each other, but Himeko’s last battlesuit used a core of HoF (please correct me if I’m wrong!)

[@Mistenxal]

@@serien194 thanks for making the clarification! I’ve always thought himeko had some sort of relation to the herrscher of fire which made me think she WAS the herrscher of fire XD

as for me, when the twins trying to leave, it is possible that was the ending of their journey and trying to leave the world of Teyvat. Thats when the sustainer stops them.

[@lia_omega5169]

You know what would be interesting? If the start screen and the place where they’re fought the sustainer actually doesn’t belong to the world of Teyvat. What if its an Endless „sky above the clouds“ where the twins could enter any world they’re desire? Maybe the sustainer is a guardian of the worlds and doesn’t allow the twins to enter other worlds and change them by the twins desire. (I don’t have any evidence, but maybe evil twin woke up first, created Khaenriah, saw it destroyed, since it doesn’t belong to Teyvat, woke up the main traveler, tried to run, sustainer stopped them by the chaos the evil twin did,

[@Idlccnt]

I think its like station between worlds, like a train station but instead of trains its doors or gates. The door that we are going through every start of the game are the gates going to Teyvat. Like that one scene on Nightmare Before Christmas where there's doors for every holiday.

[@spinonoorsYT]

Some people say that this heaven realm is some kind of prison on top of all the worlds and this may be why its infinite. Because all of the worlds are under this prison. It might be a prison too

[@eistorm8039]

I personally think that the "Heaven Realm" is actually the place which connects all worlds, like a network. The gate that we see when opening the game, can be gates to all the worlds, as in every world has this gate that needs to be entered and that gate is accessible through the heaven realm. A network connecting all worlds together, holding gates to each world.

[@dragon_nova_luna]

as you said in the end, it's a realm to pass through. I agree the place we see in the beginning isn't Celestia. There was a screenshot of a feline character in honkai recently, i think one of the flamechasers, with a star in the background similar to the traveler's in the background and staying in a place similar to the realm we go through in the intro. maybe it's related to that.

[@andramalexh]

It looks more like enkanomiya. It is a domain. As if the sustainer domain also holds the entrance and exit to teyvat

[@andramalexh]

The pillar area is a domain* not the flying city

[@atticus4393]

5:36 its possible that celestia might be trying to mimic heaven realm created by the primordial one

[@alankoh1841]

Dainslief once said, once you finish your journey, the is final doorway. Maybe the floating island is the final doorway to unlock the world mystery

[@iamspencerx]

In Enkanomiya there was this portal that you had to go through to get to the floating islands, if you didn't use the portal all you could see is the initial area. I think Celestia is like that, when you don't go through a portal it is limited in space, but once you do its area extends (infinitely?). So I think the travelers are indeed in Celestia.

[@Bread011]

Yeah just like the door you enter when you start the game, maybe that door connects teyvat and celestia

[@ZaynJ_03]

i think we will reach this place after celestia arc, bcs we know that the traveler sibling is still at abyss side and looking for a way to kinda revenge to celestia atm but in that cutscene which is also our starting cutscene, they are fight together. for why they is not stopped when arrived but stopped at leaving, I think because the celestia thinks that the twin is interfering too much with their plan on how they shaping teyvat and its people

[@elmundodealanTV]

I bet that place is, like you said, some kind af gateway between worlds, for that reason we, the players, have to enter to the game, to Teyvat, through the very same place.

[@gvcha8827]

my theory : Teyvat is earth with a fake sky, celestia are the aliens/unknown who want to take control over all teyvat as a "god". Fatui/tsaritsa and celestia hate each other. Kaenriah/abbys order are the indigenous of teyvat (former people before all seven nations people) Loading screens is a bridge to heaven/travelers real destination *sorry for bad grammar :/ + idk if it didn't make sense, but now i still trust this.

[@judyreyjumamoy]

the start menu is the bifrost, a bridge connected to different realms. the sustainer of heavenly principles is basically heimdall.

[@stormwalsh3473]

Pretty sure that the infinite sky pillar area in the loading screen is simply the "place between worlds", since every time you load the game you walk down the path, open the door and "enter Teyvat". So this place is the means by which the Travelers use to get from one world to another.

[@Baguettoes]

The loading screen is the celestial atlas btw! It is located waaay above mondstadt and higher than celestia. hope this helps

[@jacky-brawlstars823]

Do remember that the Lumine trailer exists, where the place the twins got separated starts falling apart, the "endless sky". The floating islands that we see today could very likely be the last resemblance of the "endless sky". Likely after the destruction, which could've happened during the time when Khaenri'ah gets destroyed along with the "endless sky" (with the pillars), the Unknown Goddess defied someone of a higher being to destroy Khaenri'ah. Leading to the destruction of 2 areas with the destruction of the "endless sky" caused by the destruction of Khaenri'ah. The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles probably broke a rule between the interaction of mankind via destruction of Khaenri'ah, and perhaps something to do with Raiden Makoto.

[@eatsomeice179]

That might be the gate lead to Celestia, like the gate that open a secret tunnel to Enkanomiya

[@va-v]

It should be noted that in the second quest we see Dainsleif, the traveler comments about their encounter with the unknown god and how before she intercepted the twins the traveler saw the destruction of a nation, of which both them and Dainsleif believe was Khaenri'ah.

[@rock-chan]

What if the starting screen area is khaenri'ah before it was destroyed? Because we also started our journey there when the sustainer sent the other twin to a place that was destroyed from here only and we woke up after the other one and in teyvat. Not so sure.

[@WakanaGojo86]

Khaenri'ah was an underground civilization where as this place is a step above Celistia so there's no way this is Khaenri'ah.

[@alasceusaxarius4062]

Khaenriah is a human civilization, no gods, no nothing, only humans. However, the clouds, the high pillars resembles a higher being, heaven, and gods

[@mahadesh6467]

[@theRaika]

I always thought the opening screen is like the real whole/universe, the door we enter is like entering a domain but on a grander scale, meaning other doors lead to other worlds. When we tried to escape, we exit from this said door but was confronted the the UK god, because we breach traveling regulations, thus she sent us back until we can show proper identifications that we are certified to travel worlds lol

[@worstkiterchan9207]

At the start of the game, when the game is loading, we can see we are "walking" Towards a door that appears. I suppose this is a division between realms, which would make sense, considered Honkai is set in the same MULTIVERSE and not UNIVERSE, meaning you enter the other realms here. Funny idea I thought of is what if the twins were stopped from entering Honkai bwahah. It's just a funny idea. The key to finding out where that place is is probably lying in why we weren't allowed to progress to another placr.

I believe that it’s like portal or something to enter Teyvat.

[@XEROXAYUKI]

My theory is that after the twin arrived in teyvat they were locked away from their powers but one of them woke up and created Khaenriah which took them decades. but 500 years after khaneriah was destryoed the other twin woke up with new teyvat without khaenriah. Basically thats what the other twin means "Until the abyss engulfed the thrones, my war with destiny will see no end". Meaning they are angry that celestial gods commanded the archons to destroy the new nation they created. The other twin who woke 500 years later does not know about this. But we soon will.

[@kasuha]

I am pretty sure the Celestia we see in the sky is not a 3D model, rather just a floating sprite. I assume it's a placeholder just like the Dragonspine mountain, Inazuma islands, or even The Chasm's current in-game form. And when the time comes for us to finally go there, we may see Celestia that's similar in overall shape but very different in details.

[@kimjung1166]

[@An0.nym0us]

Apart from the clue that, that “heavenly place”, is something you need to pass through in order to go to another world, we have to pay attention to how the twin in the first cutscene, described how they came here. “Fell”, while this could be paimon misunderstanding, or just using another word, you can always just use “came” or “travelled”. This means something mustve happened in the prev world. “You fell here from another world, but when you wanted to leave, some unknown god stopped you?”. The other twin waking up earlier than the traveller point that when they fell here, they lost consciousness. If the twin woke up much earlier than the traveller, why did they not wake up the traveller? Was there something that prevented the traveller from waking up, or being woken up? If the traveller woke up after the destruction of khaen’riah (forgive my spelling”, is ‘some unknown god stopped you’ connected with the other twin? If the other twin knew Dainsleif, enough to even be traveling together, is the twin somewhat connected to the royal family? Say the twin did a huge contribution to the development of khaen’ria, does that mean the unknown god stopped the twins from going to another world, to take the twin? Im hella confused. Why did paimon say “Fell from another world”, what is the relationship between dainsleif and the twin? Is the twin connected to the fallen nation, the reason why they were taken? What exactly made the people of that fallen nation, transform to what we know today as hilichurls? My brain hurts.

[@IkikuroKidenai]

The traveler we chose was said to be in a meteorite from which the abyss twin woke them up. So yes, they fell, like meteorites. I like your theory, but since Scaramouche said the sky is fake, what about it being like the dainichi mikoshi, used to turn the sky to day and night?

[@fnln3011]

Wait the twin meteors are gold because they're five star characters holy

[@yosano_akiko_ada]

I feel that they could be the ruins of Khanreia'ah, as they didn't really have a reason to go to that 'heaven' either. Innstead, they were trying to flee from Khanreia'ah after its destruction. And if you'll notice, then several of the structures that appear while loading the game are broken or ruined, etc.

[@HmLys]

That brings me to another theory. What if, Paimon is a creature that belongs to that mistaken for celestia area that theoretically could be a pathway to different worlds. It would make sense why we enter tevyat through a door. If we believe there are many doors connecting to different worlds each. And we were stopped there by that unknown "god" and pushed back to tevyat. Back to Paimon, if she belongs to that area, it would make sense why no archon knows anything about her, not anybody in tevyat ever has seen or read about Paimon before. Simply because she doesn't belong to tevyat per se. But since she, (If we assume belongs to that pathway were we got stopped to leave) is someone from there, it would make sense that she stands above archons and can control certain things. Maybe she's hiding her plans. Or maybe she forgot entirely why she came into tevyat just to be rescued by us

[@HmLys]

But it's also sus why no one is questioning what she is. What race she belongs to and why she's the only thing in whole tevyat besides monsters that can float. She's ignored by anybody who meets her for the first time. People do acknowledge that she's a flying thingy, but that's all. Not even kids question what she is and why she can float and talk. In the enconomiya quest, after we fought with enjou for the first time, he said "don't trust people blabla, take that floating thing for example. one day it could turn it's back to you blabla" (Something along these lines) What IF, paimon can kinda mindcontrol everybody into ignoring her so that no one, not even us who fish her out of the water, don't question what kind of creature she is.

[@manoharalisa5829]

@@HmLys Prinzessin, Paimon is............ Emergency food!🎉

[@imiyve]

celestia is the land we see up in the sky in game, in the genshin comic they show this and talk about it and theres 2 murals in game that depict it as well, confirming it is. also nahida seeking knowledge about it from the doctor referring to ‘the sky’ and specifically talking about celestia itself while threatening that breaking a gnosis will awaken the heavenly principles (celestia) confirms it too.

[@Johsie]

I always thought Teyvat is under a dome, and the loading screen is the entrance of this dome.

[@Prousten112]

I don't think it is Celestia either, but i think you should know (and review) that the design and decorations of the loading screen, also known as the place where the sustainer battled the twins, has the exactly same architectonic style of the statues of the seven archons. They both have the same type of white stone with the same type of golden decorations, so this place is, at very least, sharing the same source/designer. Also, we enter to Teyvat through a gate we open in this place. This means that, while the twins arrived Teyvat in meteors, they probably heard about this place and tried to used to get an easy travel to the next world, before the sustainer of heavenly principles appeared to stop them. Ps: architecture and archon have etymological relation.

[@Daedalus_9]

My understanding was that at the top of the tower would be a door that doesn't follow 3D space, like a portal that you open and you would see the infinite expanse before you. Scaramouche also said the sky was fake so it could be a giant sky box and the island is just the part of Celestia that peeks into Teyvat.

[@IJNAoba9-25-26]

Imagine all this deep and sophisticated lore, it zooms out and it just reveals fuckin, Carole and Timido playing this game that Bronya developed.

[@yknarf]

I will tell you a simple answer. "It's a cluster of gateway to the parallel worlds".

[@doplop]

i remember way back in like 2.0 i had this theory that this area was how the twins traveled worlds, like a place in between worlds not a teyvatian thing. the pillars have celestial motifs but celestia is also outlanders so it makes sense

[@XdXd-em4el]

In “we will be reunited” video Lumine runs in identical place, during its probably destruction, as this unknown place

[@tncjprcsh]

That would make sense that they were trying to leave, because if you think about it, when you start the game.. You have the door when if you click your game loads.. So that would make sense that the door in the start screen could be called a gate to another world lorewise

[@flowerontoast]

maybe the place where the game starts in like the realm that connects differents worlds, taking that the twins travel through different worlds

[@SPEEDY4004]

5:50 is it - not fully catched up on sll lore / forgot some but everyone calling these floating islands celestia are humans right? so my guess was that they just think of it as celestia since it is the only thing they can see up there and no god that so far it is right or toled them they are wrong plus cant go there to check it out for themselves my theory for fun was that it is "khandriahs" capital/palace placed out of reach as a punishment after the destrucrion scene with the black- red cubes in the will be reunited trailer PS: you can use the lens gadget from inazuma to zoom in on it even though only for a little bit mfg Olli

[@xX_N_E_O_Xx]

I'd say this is the border of the tyvat , you see in the opening section of the game, it ends by a portal, that leads to Tyvat , so the siblings were probably crossing the borders through the sky cuz they're traveling the stellar sea, I heard from a different video that the shape of tyvat could be himosphere, meaning it's a land surrounded by a barrier located in a huge ocean, which gives it a himospheric shape. So I'm pretty sure it's the edges of tyvat.

[@KudaGeatsune3821]

I think it's the uppermost border between teyvat and other parts of the sea of quanta As it's entirely possible Teyvat is simply one of many worlds as Otto saw it while peeking into said sea of quanta & finding a kind of yggdrasil style world tree

[@devianzaconiglia]

The floating island is probably a gate to Celestia, like a sky harbor

[@nagi8689]

imo the place where twins fought with sustainer is a main gate to access teyvat’s world from outside and inside

[@cairo_ytb]

Your videos makes me want to read the manga even more! Edit: That Ruu soundtrack at the end gives me chills

[@irvanemirate8257]

Plot twist: The place where we start and when we open the game, its called Bifrost or space bridge that connect to realms. While the unknown god who claimed as the sustainer, her name is Heimdall

[@konichiwa837]

The place where we get caught looks more like elysian realm from honkai and that place might be the edge of teyvat which kinda make sense since traveler is trying to run away from it

[@sarahkatherine8458]

I also think that this place is kind of the gateway, that connected worlds. When one goes from a world to another, they have to go through here. And probably, they will go on a "bridge", and at the end through a "gate" to enter the other world. What is shown in the start menu of the game is us, the Player, on the way to Genshin world.

[@creatingpulsars9979]

Considering it’s the opening screen that creates a door to send players into Teyvat, I sort of thought it as a sort of place between worlds.

[@drippyHooH]

i think this is the place that connects one world to another world

[@tubbyodore]

Yes, that place is basically a border of the teyvat universe in a sense

[@noobsplaysensei3324]

The point in the sky is definitely related to the end game. If you go to place in mondstadt related to the god of time and check the arrow. Check where it points its always that island in the sky. If you check on the map it always points at the start point of the story and that island. If you read the information about the first statue of the seven it hints of the god of time and always mentions the start and end of the journey.

[@finilona]

i think enkonomiya is related to celestia, the towers look like they have the same use/purpose and i think there is more to it! just think about it!

[@HelloFam]

I really love watching your videos, keep up the amazing work cat :D

[@aaaaaaa9669]

In the opening loading screen at the toppity top you can see something looking similar to celestia

[@LunaDoesGacha]

I mean It area we see could also be a gate leading to different worlds but I think this area definitely is the area you discribed

[@ahand4824]

That floating platform is something that holds the "fake" sky, maybe that place has a portal that can teleport us to the actual celestia.

[@dgmojojojo]

what i find strange is how everyone in Tevyat never quesntions or even mentioned there's a big huge floating islands in the sky and everyone seems gets used to it there.

[@jpmahilom7792]

To think that it floats means there is a Comic Element user which uses Gravity to make it float.

[@nnn-zx9by]

In fact, unnamed island has fog, we can't see even the beach, but can see the celestia. Somehow it can be related with the "fake" sky

[@FlamesofLion]

From doing the travel journal quest in Inazuma, we learn some "half-fake information" that Fontaine is an area in the clouds. So I was guessing that maybe it's the undeveloped Fontaine that might have a giant pool of water underneath and long water falls that falls to it. Or Maybe it may have a direct link to Sumeru and supplies them with a water source. The God's could possibly be at odds and a world quest maybe to create that harmony. Either way, if that was the concept I'd be excited. Maybe the higher into the "sky" we go is the more we'll see Fontaine's land.

[@FallenChaos619]

the floating island might be the last place to find the final clue about entering celestia.

[@Mob-tq7gv]

I feel like the twins already traveled through Teyvat but they got sent back by the unknown god and the twin you select forgot their memory while the other kept it so you have to go through the world again to try and get into celestia again.
