I'm under the assumption that humans personal cycle begins when they are reborn. This means a data copy is made making 2 copy of a person and at death that saved file becomes an additional constellation. By this logic our siblings original body life and soul have died in the last cycle which would have also been their first. They WERE a descender until they died. Our CURRENT siblings is nothing more than the new cycles "data copy" this means that they have been recorded into Irminsul. By this logic the other descenders aren't recorded because they haven't actually died or have no "saved file" in Irminsul that could be uploaded. Maybe the reason we can see our siblings memories are because we are absorbing their constellations memories by accident. Since we haven't had a cycle we have 1 chance to actually chance fate because we are playing without a saved file.

But since, at some point in her journey Lumine had died in Teyvat, her memories were absorbed by Teyvat. So now she was reborn into the next Samsara as the abyss princess with a full record of her existence as backup. She was also a Descender along with Aether, but she died and lost the Descender status.

A fight ensued and resulted in one of the twins getting consumed by red cubes from the Unknown God, and the other trapped in a seal which caused them to lose their powers. Five hundred years later, the Traveler wakes up, separated from their sibling, and stranded" This is directly from the wiki thus confirming that before our encounter with the sustainer, we didn't actually travel around teyvat.

So maybe if there are 6 cycles cause of 6 constellations, it may mean that every cycle lasts for 1000 years, hence we could have arrived in Teyvat in the early stages of the 7th cycle where everything is new and Irminsul has no information about us. Instead our twin came in the world in the previous Cycle when the distruction of Kh'anria (dunno how to write it) occured.

Based on the samsara constellation theory, Teyvat has had 6 cycles at the time of Traveler's journey. The abyss twin however, has witnessed the 5th cycle, assuming each cycle ends when the heavenly principles destroy Teyvat using cubes and nails. Also, this may imply that you don't need to die in order to enter the next cycle, unless the twins died when they were cubed by the sustainer of heavenly principles, in which case, both of them should have entered into another samsara cycle... This is getting more and more interesting... Also, astrologers are dataminers. Nice.

it's interesting when u think teyvat is actually a shape or form of simulation of some kind. within it, it has full of "data". forbidden knowledge is considered as "virus". celestia descend divine nails every time there was a catastrophic event happened as a form of "Kaspersky anti-virus" but since all the good data already become a corrupted data because of the virus, it ends up wiping and affects the whole thing in that particular "folder" which results in cleansing but also huge cataclysm. still can't really explain why khaenriah people got cursed though but yea.

This theory makes actually so much sense. Also, allow me to add something. The picture shown at 6:05 depicts also a huge mountain in the middle, with a tree on top, that builds somehow a connection to the underworld. And now it's getting interesting. The mountains equivalent in Genshin is the Musk Reef, formerly known as 'Pilos Peak', as we know from the unreconciled stars event in version 1.1. Now, there isn't a tree in the middle of Musk Reef, as it should be, if it refers to the picture. But what's the icon of the Spiral Abyss? Right, it's symbolizes by a tree! And as it just so happens, the Spiral Abyss is a connection to the underworld (Abyss), like the picture would suggest. I don't think it's a coincidence. It fits just way to well in this bigger picture of Genshins lore and makes this theory even more plausible. Nice video.

In Sumeru's new 3.6 region, Realm of farakhkert there is a broken world tree deperately fighting against the influence sealed off by the fake sky, and the "sky" around the hole looks like tattered fabric. Once you completed the quest the tree partially heals and a sad song starts playing, it sounds a lot like a lullaby. I think all Rukhadevata wanted is a world where everyone can live a simple and happy life, grant them a shelter against the dangers, for gods like herself,descenders and vision holders a chance to learn, so when the day comes they will have a chance to fight against whatever threatens the world, I doubt its only Celestia, I suspect something more esotheric like an accumulation of existential dread made manifest, like Madoka magica's witches

[@Feeeeels663]

this explains why our sibling is not considered a descender because they already completed their journey once meaning a cycle. so their data has been collected when teyvat ended its cycle and they have been registered in irminsul. not only that but they have been unable to change the fate of teyvat which is one of the requirements of a descender....this makes perfect sense. only the traveler is considered a descender because we are yet to finish our journey.

I've actually considered that the whole game is a Samsara (and have seen others bring it up as well) but it is only now that you have lain it all out like this that I truly think this theory is true. One of my biggest struggles with Genshin Lore, especially since the Caribert quest, is the JACKED-UP timeline. Like, no matter how I thought about it, the timeline was not adding up for shit. But, if this theory is true, then the time line makes sense because it then becomes possible that some information we have been fed or experienced took place in a separate Samsara.

It also makes sense when you consider the words from the Queen of Khaenriah when she died at the end of the story (sorry i dont remember the name of the book) she says: "...The dream goes on" (and refers that her death and the death of others is just the end of one dream as a new one will begin.) Just like how people were dreaming and repeating the cycle in Sumeru archon quest. That would also explain Dainsleif's line about Khaenriah in the Teyvat trailer: "In the perpetual meantime of a sheltered eternity, most people are content to live and not to dream (the rest of Teyvat). But in the hidden corners where the God's gaze does not fall, there are those who dream of dreaming." (Khaenriah and the Abyss).

[@vill6349]

i had this thought before of when mihoyo said that lumine and aether are both the canon traveler, it's because once they reached the end of the journey, everything repeats itself, and no matter which twin you picked and no matter which twin is the abyss twin, they're all canon because they've happened before too. But I guess it's just a stupid idea of mine.

[@Yami-mugoni613]

@@pyc912 i think its timeline multiverse thing

[@eeveeofalltrades4780]

This reminds me of the main story of Princess Connect Re:Dive. At one point the MC has to choose between risking it all to defeat the villain, or start over. If the player chooses to start over, the story will restart, but the beginning will change, with the MC remembering what happened. And based on something a character (I think the main villain, if I remember well) says, this has happened before many times, though the MC didn't remember it. Now, that world is actually a videogame that the characters are trapped in, and based on what is said, it recently got reconstructed somehow (hence the MC's memory loss). There's also the Seven Crowns, which are like the gods of that world (actually the developers of the game), and they're basically like the seven Archons in Genshin. Now, if Teyvat is a simulation, how come the twins arrived there in the first place? Unless it's not a literal simulation and it's more of a metaphor. Basically like a simulation on a computer, but on a reality-altering level. Unless Teyvat was put in a samsara in order to find a way to fight off something. Which is another parallel with Priconne; in there the main villain wanted to achieve godlike status and power for some reason (she later says it was to fight off an even bigger threat), and she gathered power by absorbing the life force of people, and also by "farming" a type of monster called Shadow that is made when a body is separated from its soul or something like that. But there's also another type of monster that is basically a dark replica of a real person, but if I'm not mistaken it's said to be of similar nature to the Shadows. Which makes me think that type of monster is actually remnants of someone who died in a previous cycle. And why am I saying all this? Well, in Genshin, basically every form of energy is absorbed or transported by the Ley Lines, and souls are also a form of energy. From what we've seen so far and from what I remember, the conditions for a ghost to be formed in Genshin haven't been explained, or at least "unfinished business" isn't one of them, at least among the ghosts in Enkanomiya. So ghosts are probably made up of the data that couldn't be absorbed by Irminsul for some reason. I think this could be more likely to be real when it comes to the ghosts in Enkanomiya; since Enkanomiya is not part of Teyvat, data remains unabsorbed more often, but only data regarding memories and personality (hence why the ghosts don't have a defined for). There's also Tsurumi island, which has its own ghosts, though those are remnants of their own cycle. But instead of being a simulation, it was just a loop based on what was recorded that happened on one day. Ok, I'm not gonna go into much detail in explaining Tsurumi island because what I'm about to say might explain it. So far, the place that has the most ghosts and remnants of data (such as feelings and events) is Inazuma, particularly in the islands that have the highest concentration of Electro energy (Seirai Island and Tsurumi Island). Electro is electricity, and what do computers run on? Electricity; but too much can cause it to malfunction, which may explain the strange phenomenons seen in Inazuma, such as time in Seirai seemingly being stopped, and the loop in Tsurumi. Even if the loop may not have been accidental, it does prove the kind of things Electro can do. Now, Dendro is the element of life, and can seemingly take an infinite amount of forms. Irminsul is a tree, albeit not a literal one. Though, the Dendro Archon seems to be the only one who can naturally draw and manipulate information from Irminsul, so it's at least a tree in that Dendro is naturally tied to it. BUT, so far, we have seen that Electro has also been capable of connecting to Irminsul, and the Electro gnosis even helped Nahida connect to Irminsul to talk with Rukkhadevata. Now, we know that Quicken, the Dendro+Electro reaction, is tied to the lore, based on what the devs said. And Dendro+Electro reactions seem to be the only ones that aren't based on any real thing, that produce unnatural effects, seeing how when you hit a mushroom with Electro it boosts its capabilities to abnormal levels, and if you pay attention, when you hit the Terrorshroom with Electro, it shakes its head as if it were stunned or unable to handle the power, which further supports the "abnormal" effect of Electro on Dendro. And if Teyvat is a simulation by Irminsul, and Irminsul functions mainly with Dendro, then having a high concentration of Electro in one place will cause abnormal effects on reality. Regarding Enkanomiya, another possibility is that Celestia disabled the full absorption of data there to avoid secrets from before being found by someone on Irminsul. There's also how Hilichurls don't seem to be absorbed into Irminsul, since when they're defeated they disappear with a red effect rather than a blue one, which may imply that they're deleted instead of absorbed by Irminsul, and then replaced by a new instance. Or maybe they're not allowed to die until a specific amount of time, so when something happens to them they're deleted and another instance of them is placed.

also in the beginning when the twins were about to leave teyvat due to khaenriah's destruction, they mentioned your journey is not over, the heavenly principles said that. and then shot us back into the world to continue the samsara cycle, our twin woke up earlier and completed it while we are directly following in their footsteps due to how coordinated the quests have been, *spoilers: the most recent quest for 3.6 for the new area, the pari there mentioned that a masked soldier (dain) and a blonde haired person which looked identical did a favor for them similarly and the pari are on good terms with those two, along with a one armed soldier (which may be the leader of the fatui) end of spoiler** but does that mean that we have to complete the samsara cycle and the end of the world is khaenriah? didnt someone try to go to the underworld (khaenriah) and make it up again or was that another city, its related to sumeru but i dont remmeber...

If constellations are indeed cycles, this explains why it's possible to deviate from your "Fate" In Mona's quest in the Golden Apple Archipelago she describes how fate cannot be changed, however if they deviate from their fate they end up worse off because they are like stars which fall away from their path in the sky. This is strange because it seems to suggest that there can be no better future (in Mona's understanding), though the ultimate lesson she learned was that she could seize her own fate. In which case, would the purpose of visions be defining someone's direction, so they can seize a new path (hence becoming new constellations)? Or are visions a direction that Irminsul has for the people (hence people being able to activate Visions if they have a similar ambition, eg. Mona and Ningguang), and so help Irminsul control the world (by granting power to those which have certain visions for it?) In which case, this also explains why the Gnoses (which are the ultimate form of Visions) represent the "Laws" of the Heavenly Principles, because the Heavenly Principles has a certain direction in mind for the world.

[@LukiKruki]

I think Mona means that once you break your fate you fall from the sky into other fate, into other knowledge tree. In other words you can only jump from one tree to the other, you will never be truly free. Your life is an endless forest of fates.

The only thing that bugs me about this theory is Venti. He greeted us like an old friend and wanted to accompany our journey once again despite us not recognizing him.

[@sadevrahul7316]

I think venti is zongli and venti are the centre, like nilou. His hello voice line says "join you ONCE AGAIN" . But this doesnt line up cuz trav never went through a cycle, but is possible that venti is aware of it, and can reset it at any point, though this will relate him to istaroth. It could be that he hadnt, but the last cycle he force ended, which allowed for trav not being absorbed by the irmansol

Absolutely! Venti says in the very beginning of the game when the traveler is going to leave Monstadt to go to Lihue for the first time that he loves the air in the trees, but I,’ve said it before! He’s said that to the traveler before? How could he possible when he has only met the traveler at this time. Dainslief is not a good guy. He is the Boughkeeper with access to Irminsul. According to Scaramouche The twins were summoned by the heavenly principles and the Jester (who was a royal Madge in Khaenri’ah before the fall of the city) (before he became the head of the Fatui), had plenty of time to control and manipulate the twins minds with the power of Irminsul and the magic spells/potions the Jester had available. Scaramouche also says he does not know when the twins entered or left Khaenri’ah. Then he tells the traveler he has met them before. Where? How? When he was kabukimono prior to becoming a part of the Fatui? The twins are going around and around in a circle! Catch 22? De ja vu? Just like the ceremony of Sansera. When the twins become (through magic)the Abyss prince/princess, (who they are not) sometime there after they loose all memory of everything, (maybe because they are descenders) accept wanting to find there brother/sister. They end up on the beach outside of Mondstadt with Pieman and the game begins again. Also when they meet Dainslief in Mondstadt, when he asks the three questions, he says that their answer is like their brother or sister. How would he know if he had not met the twins before? The twins have not done what they were sent to do. Until then I imagine there will be more clues to the effect that they are going around in circles, until they find the correct path that will lead them to save Teyvat. Of course the game is only half over and if it is to continue for 2-3 more years everything here may become a moot point. 🤣

[@chakraace9823]

I'm glad to see that the lore archon is thinking the same like me. I've been commenting this on several videos that Irminsul is Teyvat's cloud server created by the Celestia. They are using it to monitor everyone. When a person or a group of people comes to know about knowledge they're not supposed to, the irminsul reports it and celestia takes action. Same happens when the people with ambitions when they are eligible for a vision. It's important to note that irminsul affects only people. It cannot alter time. All we witnessed as samsara was the irminsul's re-execution of data from a particular period of time, which makes all others except the traveler unable to feel it mentally. However, they can feel it physically. After experiencing a lot of samsaras, the people become extremely tired. This proves that, the samsaras aren't due to time travel, but the re-execution of happenings recorded in irminsul. Its something else thats controlling the time. In the game clock too, we can't travel into the past. Even if we're changing the time into the future, it's only the people and the fake sky are being affected by it. The flora, fauna everything else is independent of that time travel. So this clock could be something based on irminsul. It's like it can only change certain things, excluding some. The tree of Windrise suddenly got into my mind when he showed the world tree. And we know, Alice and Vanessa ascended to celestia from Windrise. That tree is SUS.
