Teyvat's Eternal Cycle of Destruction | Genshin Impact Theory

[@DragonMJE]

This video was originally supposed to be about Guizhong, but somehow I ended up here... Real talk though, the original version of the video is 1 hour and 40 minutes long. I ended up cutting out a lot of topics (many of them were already voice and edited lmao). I will include a list of topics that were supposed to appear in this video but got removed in case you care to check them out on your own (or just want to know). - Basically everything about Guizhong (the irony...) - Detailed story of Elynas - The Greek myth of Narcissus and Echo - The Greek myth of Hade, Demeter, and Persephone - Summary of Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass - Detailed discussion around the character design of Zhongli - Summary of the Narzissenkreuz Adventure World Quest Series - Details regarding Alain, Jakob, Mary-Ann, and Rene - Details regarding Remus and Remuria - A bunch of stuff about Alice (Klee's mom) and Morax - Basically everything about Xiao - Recap on the previous video - A lot of stuff about Jesus (Yes) - A lot of stuff about Yang Chen-Ning - Other minor topics I might repurpose some of those into different videos, however, it is extremely unlike to be anytime soon. I will talk about Guizhong later tho.

[@daechwitasuga3910]

Oh my god. This is probably the reason why Celestia is holding Zhongli like on chokehold because this guy has the knowledge of everything because he was there. I bet you, if he could have spoken Genshin Impact would have ended in an instant.

[@Dimebag0069]

I wonder what he knows. That shit is why I dislike him kinda. He's praised to have all this power, yet is a coward.

[@nawawii3750]

He's a descender, he's immune to Irminsul rewrites. But he also holds his contracts firmly, so they doesn't fear him turning on them. Yet.. he gave the gnosis willingly, even though he said there's nothing worth a gnosis.. So he believe that Tsaritsa plan is going to work

[@daechwitasuga3910]

@@Dimebag0069 Perhaps he's being careful not to anger Celestia again. It has been years since celestial nails fell into Teyvat and also years since the Khanreiah war. Like I said, I just feel like he's being held hostage by celestia if the rumors were true that he is a descender.

[@daechwitasuga3910]

@@nawawii3750 It is crazy how every genshin theories that dates back the early years after the Primordial One changed Teyvat this guy is always mentioned and the evidences are even so credible too. If the Genshin anime says true to animate the history of the Archon War I hope they would leave some crumbs about what he knows.

[@daechwitasuga3910]

@drakonnemeios4814 I bet Venti knows something at some extent considering he's an old archon and he is being sussy about it too. And as far as the archons we have met so far Venti has more sussy lines. Even Nahida who literally has Irminsul with her, well she did gave us lorebomb revelation to us, but Venti and Zhongli has held something more though.

I didn't think I had the capability of doing so. astonishing video and incredibly thought-provoking! edit: also, I always knew zhongli, being as old as he is, had SOMETHING to do with the old world. he's a dragon. there's a reason he's always as cryptic as he is. because he knows *who's* watching.

[@lightxki]

dottore gets mentioned ones and i start genuinely tweaking (in a positive way, im so obsessed with that guy)

[@ayanokoji9608]

Man i wish this guy could collab with ashikai,they sure could pull out a banger , she's so deeply educated in the mythology and opera sides of the game while having a very good grasp on other sides ,and he's so deeply educated with well,i have no idea but idk? Scientific side of things? Or logical perhaps,while also having a great grasps on the other sides, ah gosh that collab would be something i dream about everyday.

[@IDontWantHandlesWTF]

Fuck no. Ashikai is biased af. She purposefully brushes past important characters and plots revolving around those characters due to her bias, and makes the ones she likes to be more important than they ever will be. Such as Kaveh who turned out to be an irrelevant character but because he's her favorite, she theorizes the fuck out of him with no basis, just bias. Another example is her latest video where she completely disregarded Childe's relevance in the archon quest as just an "easter egg'' because she hates his character. I never understood why people think Ashikai is a good lore channel, when she can't even make analysis and theories without her bias clouding her judgement.

[@Indian_gae_boii]

ashikais videos are great don't get me wrong, but her videos are mostly catered towards casual players who are interested in surface-level lore or archon quest explanations, ashikai will only cover broader topics about a region but never go too deep into it, shes great as a beginners lore channel, as was the case with me but i feel like she dosent conver things too deeply, she obviously digs quite deep into the lore given how she often references deeper topics but she will not cover such topics because most of her viewers wont be intrested in say, what happened to gurabad in detail or the subsequent city states that came after,

[@ayanokoji9608]

@@Indian_gae_boii she doesn't cover deep lore itself in great details ,but her long recaps do ,unlike the beginner guides or quick recaps, and in the theory videos she's assuming we are familiar with the deep lore ,but her theories and analysis are very very good and deep enough as well .

[@arahul4045]

28:25 if you think about it, that's what the Sacred Sakura in Inazuma does... And it has the same blue colour. Raiden Makoto was the reason behind its creation. Thus, it confirms that Raiden Makoto knew a lot about this concept. I feel this is somehow connected to why she decided to go to Kahreah alone, and also to her death. Maybe she went to Kahreah to get this technology to save Inazuma from the attack of the abyssal monsters?

[@mabilleaudrey2154]

They said all archons went to Kaenri'ah to destroy it

[@nawawii3750]

Makoto likely got the knowledge in the "Before Sun and Moon" from Orobashi. And what's in that book that's forbidden? Istaroth And considering that Makoto got help from Istaroth planting the Sacred Sakura at the beginning of time, it confirm that she got knowledge from "Before Sun and Moon". Remember how Istaroth helped Enka people create an artificial sun with golden power? A very powerful power source that doesn't align with any element? Imaginary power if you say. That's the power of the shades, and PO. Something not even archons can wield, but they can borrow if a higher power intervene. The Sacred Sakura filter filth in the key lines, isolate it, and and allow energy to return pure to Irminsul. Effectively removing monsters of the abyss, and anything else that's outwardly. The filth itself need manual purge, which MC does. As he does purify Dvalin tear, and many other things.

[@mabilleaudrey2154]

@@nawawii3750 It was the snake who discovered and became the God of Enkanomiya lol 😂 I don’t remember that Istaroth helped them to create the tower tbh because it was after the Archons war and Orobashi’s suicide against the Shogun Raiden. And at that time Makoto was already dead in the Cataclysm.

[@mabilleaudrey2154]

@@nawawii3750 he was forbidden by Orobashi looool because she was the only one who was treated by Celestia about read the truth about them! If Makoto really read it then Celestia would have destroyed Inazuma if Makoto decided to not die like Orobashi did for Enkanomiya. Remember no one knows about them because Phanes locked them away before the start of the Archon war. Celestia didn’t even gave gnoses yet to the Seven GOds so ho could she have knew about them when the book was underwater even before her birth? Beside you seems to have forgotten that this book was stolen by Kaenri’ah but no one knew about it because those who stole the books died at Enkanomiya and it was locked. So if they had the book I don’t see how Makoto would have learned about it 😅😅😅 Zhongli said that Celestia send the archons to destroy Kaenri’ah but no one of the previous Seven knew what was going on. There was two events going on 500 years ago. Kaenri’ah destruction and a attack from the Abyss :) As electro Archon Makoto and other were send there without knowing why Celestia send them here to contain the Abyss Attack lol 😂

[@zafkielvondegurechaff3634]

On the topic of Zhongli using imaginary energy. One namecard says that light can refract in many colors but people stop at 7 because they are lazy to count. All of that while having the 7 elements in the namecard itself. So with this is very clear that every element is just a simplified version of the light real or imaginary element so every archon is, in a way, capable of using imaginary energy

[@miiinkus]

as i was playing through these world quests i started to connect a lot of the dots much like yourself. I personally lack the time necessary to research and see where things start to line up. This is *exactly* the video i've been looking for! That moment where you are transported back into the library in Enkanomiya... man i got literal chills. Thank you for your hard work in summarizing all this, connecting dots as best you can, and making a semblance of sense from all the breadcrumbs. amazing video!!!!

oh. my. fucking. GOD. This is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I´ve never seen a Genshin Theory going this far and actually making sense, and trust me, I´ve seen many theories.

This is insane. I watch a lot of genshin lore speculation and theorycrafting videos and although they all sound believable and "convince" me, this is by far the best put together one, where everything makes so much sense it's like you came from the future and explained the entirety of the game knowing everything. Extremely impressive, congratulations

[@treecycle268]

dang, this actually starts to make sense, when the abyss energy is in a chaotic/undefined state and celestial energy being ordered under certain "heavenly principles", or Teyvats law so to speak, then it would make sense that the state inbetween these 2 would be neither chaotic nor ordered. It would simply be undefined or raw (in this case blue). And if you have something that is neither fully chaotic and is undefined, then it should be relatively easy to assign a definition to it and turning it into a defined state, for example into the fire element like in Deshret's places.

[@ccee2399]

Oh wow that explains so well why any overworld enemy was killed, they would drop mora, but not for the ones in the domain… Thank you so much for connecting all the dots..!! It’s so different yet more convincing than other lore videos because you actually go into the logic and intentions behind all other hoyo games. You absolutely deserve more followers

11:55 Bit of an old video now but back then I noticed that Elyna was the name of an asteroid irl, so I thought that other than the reference to Elynas the father of Melusine, it could also be a reference to the asteroid since asteroids are made of rock like the names of Rhinedottir's other creations and they float around in space (abyss?) kinda like how Elynas was in the void before Rhinedottir found him

the fact that you say that with a raiden pfp

[@generalkinobi1033]

fr💀

[@daten9075]

There's more in-game evidence supporting that Raiden has a bigger martial prowess than Zhongli in the present. Also you're conveniently ignoring that Raiden can create her own sub-space as in the Plane of Euthymia, which according to this video, suggests that she has some domain over the Imaginary element as well, and not only that, her domain over the imaginary element was strong enough that she managed to preserve Makoto's own plane of euthymia 500 years after her death.

[@ReverseElectro]

@@daten9075 Check Morax's greatest feats in Liyue and then cross them with Beelzebul's greatest feats. Let us put all of the terraforming and world-building (literal world-building) that Zhongli did to the Mountains of Teyvat aside. Let us also put all of the Dragons, Gods, and Monsters that Zhongli defeated aside. Let us also put the fact that he was infamous for his martial prowess that he was known as a god of war and given the title of the "Warrior God". The strongest enemy that Beelzebul canonically defeated as far as we know was Orobashi (maybe she defeated someone stronger but we don't know yet). Orobashi already lost to Zhongli before fleeing to Inazuma. That alone ends the discussion.

[@daten9075]

@@ReverseElectro Please take Raiden off your pfp because its obvious you dont know shit about her lore. Ei also has killed other Gods, did you forget there was also an archon war going on in Inazuma? Orobashi was a god too if you forgot. And Ei also killed the Thunderbird and sealed it within Seirai Island. The slash she used to defeat Orobashi was so strong that you can still feel the remants in Yahsiori Islans (the electro radiation). And not only that Raiden had enough power to surpress the Tatarigami aka Orobashi's karmic remains on Yashiori island. And Raidens biggest feat is literally FIGHTING THE SHOGUN PUPPET FOR 500+ YEARS. She was literally locked in combat for hundreds of years against an enemy thats on equal footing with the Archons. And she herself said that if she even faltered for a single second, she wouldve been killed. You also forget that Zhongli himself said that he lost a great deal of power after giving up his gnosis, Raiden was never in possesion of a gnosis, and at the end of her SQ2 she unlocked the true power of the Musou Isshin, so she walked out stronger than she did. You can make the argument that Zhongli in his prime was stronger than Raiden, which would be true. But AS OF THE PRESENT, Raiden is the strongest Archon as of now until we meet Tsaritsa and Murata.

[@jx2k331]

Fantastic video! Everything lines up and you connected so many loose ends. Just adding on to your theory about primal light originating from the light realm, we’ve already seen this from the Latin incantations that are in the game the incantation used by Mona in Unreconciled Stars and the outer wheel of the beastly rifts in Fontaine read as Ex culmine locis in magno elementorum Lux se effundat in mentes dei ("From the peak of light, to the greatness of the elements. May light surrender to the mind of god.") Abyss Lectors use an ominously similar version: Ex culmine lucis in magno obscuritatis. Lux se effundat in mentes abysso. ("From the peak of light, to the greatness of darkness. May light surrender to the abyss.") It’s almost as if they channel the primal energy via abyss/celestial power. Hypostasis even have a similar line “Ex Culmine Lucis In Magno Elementorum” which is just the shortened version of Mona’s, likely because the hypostasis are natural manifestations from the light realm, not controlling the primal energy but being one with it Another thing I wanted to ask: in the nymphs dream (now revealed to be Rene the dragon narcissus and the hero Alain), Rene says that the “The star-beasts shall drink the amniotic fluid of the world dry. A hundred years from then, all life on its surface shall be wiped away”. Considering the primordial sea is the birthplace (womb, amniotic = womb liquid) of teyvat, we can assume the primordial sea is this “amniotic fluid” and somehow the whole world formula has to do with the “star beasts” drinking up all the primordial waters. How do you think that fits into your current theory?

[@marsinaresvt]

Perhaps the star beasts tie in to this theory's suggestion that the Traveler will become Dottore's "god project" (54:16), rather than taking a bite of the world they'll drink deeply from the primordial sea.

this is the single most important genshin theory of all time. the loose ends are tied so fucking incredibly, and everything makes SENSE. i’m especially in love with your analysis of zhongli/morax and how he holds some dominion of the imaginary power, which thus allowed him to essentially think xiao back into physical existence. it wasn’t an OP anime-esque show of power from the lord of geo, but a calculated move by hoyo to explain how zhongli is one of the most influential chars in the game and how we missed a big portion of his character back then. also this just goes to show how effective the narsizzencreuz world quest is and how important it will be down the line. rene’s research paved the way for almost ALL the deeper knowledge that will one day define what happens in the end. also your attention to detail is absolutely stunning. noticing how the desert areas are littered with shows of imaginary/quantum energy down to the existence of a singular seelie in the duat hall is mesmerising. it has made my mind blow with thoughts of how many gold/blue dichotomies we have missed in the game. someone here commented that this must be why sweet flowers and mint are EVERYWHERE now matter how defiled the state: they are hoyo’s way of showing that the energies that rule the laws of teyvat are soon to be revealed and they are omnipresent.

(i'm guessing the former) i'm favoriting this video to check back on later as we get closer to snezhnaya / have more dainsleif focused quests to see how much the story develops to support this theory, my money is on yours being the most accurate out there so far since the game's world and lore is always complimentary and mirrors elements in various different tellings and circumstances

[@jiyojiy6202]

He probably just talks fast, like a very passionate lecturer in Sumeru.

This was actually an insane video to watch, so many connections, but everything falls into their place so well and it just makes sense! Traveler really might just become the original god or, as the game calls it "Genshin" in the end and make an "impact" on Teyvat's laws. Anyways, fantastic video, I watched the previous part and now this in one go and it was an absolute wild ride. Like some other commenters said this really does feel like the best theory video of Genshin so far for me at least. Keep up the great work!

[@hydroho]

thank you for reading through all the lore and putting it on a video and not to mention tying it to real life mythology, science and religion. jfcccccccc this was a ride

[@shironasama0445]

My mind has been blown, incredible video Be careful, Dawei is going to find you and silence you for solving the whole game

[@Kamaboko2815]

Thanks to you, I can no longer come up with new theories because you just said it all 💀

[@Ahx_78]

This is genuinely the best video I’ve ever seen I’ve had so much theories and things and finally someone that was able to condense them in one video keep it up your videos are goated

[@TishlyLansky]

I was interested in this video because of Dottore on the cover. In the end, it turned out that this video is not about him at all... 🤔

[@witchcandy3671]

You cracked the code! I think i learned more from this video then from the last 3 years of playing Genshin. Thank you so much!

[@steindoesnothing]

that was great. you managed to capture everything in one complete theory and i cant think of any flaws in it. im astonished

[@articus5961]

@41:29 buuuuhhh this was the perfect opportunity to insert one of Zhongli burst voice line: I'll have order, this is order, order guide you

[@Hardystonite]

One of the absolute best theories I've seen around here about Genshin lore, if not the best. This was SO entertaining, I'm looking forward to more!

[@criises]

I mean, I was paying attention and thinking about the deep lore and implications of Zhongli doing stuff and all but then THE FUCKING FISH!!!!!!!!!!! i lost it man, awesome video!

[@bruhnana6396]

I'm speechless. Amazing video, dude. Keep it up!

[@mintyichigo5153]

The emotions in your voice The passion in your tone The well articulated thoughts What kind of treasure did i stumble upon? how long have i been missing out? instant subscription 😂❤

[@Edie_Had]

Don't worry, I've also spedran all the world quest on the first few days, you're not alone (mainly because my archon quest was stuck at inazuma at that time)

[@faceshopper]

i was not ready to see everlasting flames in the intro 😭😭 such a great animation video

[@kingskyless]

fighting for my life trying to keep up with all the info and i am not winning BUT this is amazing and im totally going to rewatch as many times as it takes me to finally steep in all of this ahfkasf

[@meloart]

u just gained a new subscriber! holy hell this was insane

[@romanfairy]

I love seeing theories after part of a theory is disproved because it helps make ways for new answers. we have new information on the gnosis which doesn't disprove parts of this, but does change it a little. I'm excited to see how the theories in this (super long) video play out in new patches.

[@zfgnerdlife]

Been watching your stuff for awhile, this one earned my sub. Keep going, duder!

[@kiplingwasafurry1108]

This is so well done and surprisingly easy to understand with my basic understanding of Genshin lore. I am interested in seeing breakdowns of Genshin's cultural and historical inspirations.

[@clankplusm]

19:40 Also these spikes were brought back during the chasm events of late 2.x (2.6 I want to say? Or maybe 2.7/8) where they were used in relation to the chasm's unique properties. I can't remember what they said / did exactly, but you may want to think of that alley of thought as well

[@marcusbullock2753]

Based on how we're the protag and all what if we join the fatui in the end and we basically become the nanook of genshin tevat getting our powers back and destroy celestia.

[@violetdanka1181]

That was a great video! Your voice is very pleasant to listen to, and I loved to hear how engaged you are in the lore :D

[@shellyisaga1309]

I reached the end of the video and i got goosebumps wow you did great!!! Salute to youuu

[@ninjutsu17]

I've got to repeat this video a few times to really understand wtf is happening here, but as a lore Beelzebub, lemme tell you: You have made the best lore video I had ever seen. And how in the heavenly principles do you only have 3K subscribers, this is unreal

[@NotGeraltofRivia]

I love you my dude. Revelation after revelation. This passion.

[@DragonMJE]

😉Big one in a few hours (depending on KZbin processing time tho because it is a 1 hour 20 minutes long movie in 4K ultra HD). KZbin servers will probably take 12 hours to process it.

[@NotGeraltofRivia]

@@DragonMJE Looking forward to more of your stuff man. Been binging a while now XD. It's awesome stuff you got and I can your passion for it man.

[@KZ.0]

this video albeit obviously due to how far it predicts things could be categorised as "crack" it still holds so much weight imo, also i guess it kinda adds some support to ashikai's video on dottore possibly appearing in the fontaine region as much as that seemed too crack. Wonderful job!

[@andriip1667]

Damn man this has to be one of the absolute best lore genshin lore videos i have seen

[@tinnakitudsa2529]

You make me remember why I love genshin theory video so much

[@nomar2924]

Also the contract between morax and the fatui about aether's sister means that morax knows this and that he supports them and we will understand this at the end of our journey.i hope you read this and correct me if i am grong

[@jamesreese4170]

There is something else there. Some missing link. What does the Abyss twin have to do with this? The loom of fate and the fall Khanria. While this video I think is very close to the whole story, I think we're still missing some crucial pieces. The Descenders, the loom of fate, the sinner, Danes role, and the Abyss twin. None of them are really covered in this theory.

[@mabilleaudrey2154]

What Abyss twin ? Only Lumine is from Kaenri'ah because she's recorded into the Irmisul. Not us. Somehow she met the transgressor with Kaeya's Father and become the princess of Abyss... @@jamesreese4170

[@The1andonlysharpshooter]

@@jamesreese4170they probably could be at *some* point. Its less of a “we have missing links” and more of a “the game has yet to bring up any hints” we’re only on fontaine. And theres gonna be many more events genshin will make that future players will never get to play that have an important role in fleshing out the whole story. Since we get a lot of abyss/kheanriah/dain lore once every nation patch, we might get something in fontaine’s version that adds to this theory. This video seems almost on the nose about the story of genshin. Those final pieces with the Abyss sibling will slot seamlessly in over time thats for sure.

[@DaydreameXD]

Damnn loved your theory.. I literally woke up and was still sleepy so I started this video and it knocked the sleep right out plus the amount of research it would have taken. Great work

[@tazokhdc3504]

thank you for this amazing video. i hope you get more view’s because this was very well put together. ❤

[@naisu5298]

now you made me want to pull for zhongli! damn it! great video and immediately subbed within 10mins of the video! keep up the great work!

[@YaBoyTarek]

This theory was amazing. you explained everything in genshin that needed explaining that needed one in a very believable and logical fashion. Also the fatui's plan at the end was amazing (similar to how the stellaron hunters are "puppeteering" the trailblazer for an ideal future). However at times it was very difficult to follow when you excitedly explain concepts like quantum mechanics. You were a bit too quick and my brain had difficulty catching up. But aside from that, the rest is an easy 10/10. Thank you for taking time in making this video
