Discovering How the Imaginary Tree Connects Genshin, Honkai Impact, and Honkai Star Rail

[@fatehiakuya]

in fact this is a confirmed fact since the Welt that we see in Honkai Star Rail is the same one that exists in Honkai Impact (this is revealed to us by Welt itself who says it comes from another universe) in addition to the fact that in the two Honkai universes there are similar characters such as Himeko, Bronya, Seele, Loucha, Shushang, Acheron aka Raiden Bosenmori Mei (along with the fact that the Imaginary Tree was already shown to us in Honkai Impact and the world of Genshin was shown as one of the branches of the tree {in this case the image shows the Monstandt region and also shows Dvalin flying}

I have heard that Honkai Impact shares a lot of the same characters/character names

[@fatehiakuya]

@@timnathangaming yes it really does, especially among the games named Honkai (Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3, Gun Girls Z/Houkai Gakuen 2)

[@Keiki-kun]

@@timnathangaming These similar characters are called Expys The imaginary tree is lazy and duplicates people between the leaves of reality 🤣

Imaginary tree is a theory in hsr because they never got into imaginary tree but in hi3 otto literally went to imaginary tree and made a world where his gf is alive

[@timnathangaming]

Honkai Impact lore honestly sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll try it out.

[@himalkanwar77]

​​​@@timnathangamingmaybe reaction on the stream animation short and honkai chronicles ofcourse this will not give all the lore and context but it will going to help

[@CG-hf2cd]

You say gf, but Otto ruined any chance of that before they're relationship got to that point.

This is how i can explain and describe it: If we speaking about Hoyoverse, there is no "multiple Universes" - so far it is known that there is only one true Universe "The Imaganary Tree" (which is only a concept in study for HSR humanity) with branches and different types of "Worlds" aka 'Leafs' with different dimentions, reality, and galaxies (HG, HI3, HSR, ZZZ, in question GI, etc), with metaphysical "Sea of ​​Quanta" (also can be called like the 'Sea of Dreams' or 'Sea of Memories') existing besieds its Roots (they are two universal concetpts that are in eternal rivarly between each other - the opposed forces). Some Worlds can fall off from the Tree to the Sea of Quanta due to "varaity of reasons" including the most disasterous one Honkai phenomena system (HI3 and etc spoilers) "test" of the Tree that decide which Leaf will be cut off, also total extinction and dead end histories. And they will be cut off from the main "Ether Anchor" of "the Tree" - constant external "power source" of "existence" and 'Imaganary Energy' of the Tree by extension. Some of these Worlds essentially will eventually dissapear without a trace in the Sea of Quanta due to this. It has been revealed (HI3 spoilers) that it's not exactly that technology causes the downfall of civilisations and Honkai, instead it is wishes/desires/dreams. As civilisations grow, the amount of wishes and desires increases, at some point the planet will not be able to sustain humanity, and the wishes will reach a "higher power" thus manifesting Honkai phenomena system (that was already understood and used by aincient Alien Space\Sky Race) on the Tree. There are exist those Bubble Worlds (Bubble Universes in localization) which is a separate concept of the "The Imaganary Tree" but esentially all of them are connected via humanity collective uncouncious and the 'Sea of Quanta'. Essentially most of them are simple Dreams and Memory loops simulations (also created by humanity) and supposedly cant be "alive" on their own. Which kinda makes us question the nature of every reality from the games itself at the same time, huh. As it was said the fate of Teyvat is the real mystery with many different interpretations in theory (one of them its that it was "hidden" from Honkai itself) and its status is unknown at the moment but whats interesting is that Teyvat has something like a true "Irminsul (with Laylines and Constalations) System" framework which essentially acts as Teyvat's "Ether Anchor" so we can say that watever Teyvat world "truths" is - its actually can be consdered as "alive" compered to most Bubble Worlds and Worlds fated to die due to work put into that World. HSR also had almost joking reference to the Teyvat with referenicing the twisted double side-mirror nature of it and the story of Raiden Shogun's.

[@scrappy_horns8139]

More like a multiverse

[@Keiki-kun]

The thing is that the twins traveled between worlds(planets) The issue is that Teyvat is purposefully hidden and blocked from the rest of the universe for some reason. There is an item in the game that questions this: "If the universe is full of life, why hasn't any of it tried to contact Teyvat?" Other sources in the game state that they are actually constantly trying to invade Teyvat On the other hand the Astral Express has a power that apparently allows it to cross imaginary barriers and in theory this makes it capable of traveling to other universes and realities Although it is just a theory in Star Rail the imaginary tree is a real thing in Honkai Impact. A character there named Otto has already come into contact with a conceptual structure of the tree and was even able to observe Teyvat and Dvalin flying in Mondstadt

[@timnathangaming]

What if the Travelers were trying to open up Teyvat and that's why the goddess at the beginning zoops your sibling?

[@Keiki-kun]

@@timnathangaming There are theories that Teyvat is hidden inside a black hole or that the leaf that represents its universe is falling into the Sea of ​​Quanta However, it is likely that Teyvat is hidden to avoid a Honkai threat Explanations for these terms: Sea of ​​Quanta is the "sea" that is under the imaginary tree, it is a sea of ​​data from the realities that fell from the imaginary tree, they are opposing forces Honkai is a concept, it is a force that can present itself as disasters, plagues, etc. Honkai is a type of system of the imaginary tree, it is a test that defines whether a "leaf" will remain on the tree or will fall into the Sea of ​​Quanta, Honkai appears when civilizations advance too quickly and affect the balance

[@ShizukiShirano]

@@Keiki-kun Something along these lines for Teyvat, yep.
