The Genshin Impact x Sanxingdui has me thinking about all the hidden lore implications regarding Liyue and Zhongli. Personally I'd love to visit the museum one day!

3:04 The legend of 10 suns is a very well known and influential story in CN culture, it is the source of origin for the Mid Autumn Festival or Lantern Festival. The legend says that there were 10 birds who represented the suns, normally 9 birds would rest on the tree and 1 would fly across the sky as the sun. But one day all 10 birds/suns appeared on the sky at the same time causing a massive drought and killing everything, an Archer named Houyi went towards the heat and shot down 9 of the suns saving the world. For his heroism, he was rewarded an elixir of immortality. Now after this part is where the story branched into many versions throughout history and even inspired Hoyoverse. After receiving the elixir, Houyi found himself surrounded by treachery, people, friends, enemies, family, wanted to steal the elixir from him but most importantly the story now focuses on his wife Chang'e. There are many versions of the story, all involving fighting over the elixir and all of them ended with Chang'e taking the elixir and flying to the Moon. The most recognised and celebrated version of the story was Chang'e wanting to end the treachery over the elixir, which has become a source of suffering, so she took the elixir herself and became immortal. By becoming an immortal, she started to float into the heavens and ended up on the Moon, become the Moon Goddess, forever separated from Houyi. This interpretation is celebrated by the Mid Autumn Festival by lighting lanterns and eating moon cakes. It is an interpretation that celebrates Houyi's heroism and Chang'e's sacrifice to remove suffering from the world. This interpretation is also the direct inspiration for Hoyoverse's first game FlyMe2TheMoon, where the main character Kiana flies to the Moon. And in every subsequent game Kiana will always fly to the Moon in the ending as it is always her Destiny. In the ending of Honkai 3rd part 1, her story directly parallels Chang'e and Sushang straight up brings up the story of Chang'e as exposition for the audience. Kiana sacrifices herself by taking all the Honkai energy on Earth, just like Chang'e taking suffering, and flying to the Moon to become a lonely immortal Goddess of the Moon. The Moon always represents Destiny in Hoyoverse games, a point in space-time we must reach and overcome in the future. I can't wait to see how the Unknown God(Genshin's Kiana) and the Moon are going to play out in Genshin, there's a reason why there are so many things related to the Moon in Genshin. EDIT: I also want to point out that this story also inspired Lantern Rite and Hoyoverse's idea of immortality being a source of suffering.

During the Azhdaha quest, Zhongli said that his identity may change, but his eyes will bear witness to the history of humanity. Those who come to witness… will witness (Zhongli). Those who are born to remember… will remember (Traveler). It’s giving descender vibes. 😏

@_Nyxus_ 5 ай бұрын

Or maybe it's reversed. Maybe Traveler is the witness and Zhongli is the one who will remember. It's hinted he remembers the original Dendro god, and he mentions that his memory is crystal clear on events that happened thousands of years ago. Traveler has also already been declared a witness by both Zhongli and Neuvillette. Also I don't think Zhongli is a descender, but I do think he's an outlander, which aren't the same. The sibling we play is a descender, but the abyss sibling is not, yet both of them are outlanders. But we'll need more information on the old man until we actually know. Hoyo doing a good job keeping things shrouded in mystery despite how many people have their eyes on them.

China used to have 10 suns. Then a hero use his bow and shot down 9 of those leaving only 1 sun left in the sky. Not sure if it is related to the god tree or the genshin story though

Zhongli is not the dragon sovereign. But it is stated that he's not from Teyvat. So there's a high chance that he could be a descender

@CelticBotansDigitalArt 5 ай бұрын

oh wow, this was so fascinating to learn. I had never heard of these sculptures or the civilization behind them before. When I saw the video of Zhongli listening to the story and such, I thought the sculptures were "made up" because they have such a unique, stylized design - they also reminded me a lot of mezo-american sculptures, hence why I thought they were "made up" artifactis for the collab. I love how the reality is even more intriguing then fiction! One of my fave aspects of genshin is the fact that I'm always learning new stuff like this. Thanks for this incredible vid, Minsleif!

Hi can i ask 😢, how many can craft a condensed resin? Only 5 pcs😢i am new player

@memento_vivere_ 5 ай бұрын

yes

@Shayu9986 5 ай бұрын

@@memento_vivere_ why people say don't spend original resin, save resin to craft condensed resin. And 160 original resin just get 5 pcs , and material just little same, it's just we use up how many original for condensed resin and just get normal farm material. 😭

@Ei_Shogun 5 ай бұрын

⁠@@Shayu9986so basically 160 original resin gives you 4 condensed resin. When you use condensed resin in a domain (other than weekly boss domains) you get double rewards. People say use condensed because it saves time. So if you get 1 5 star artifact when you use original resin, you get 2 when using condensed resin. If you get 2 4 star artifacts using original resin, you get 4 when using condensed resin, and so on. The same applies to other domains like talent material domains and weapon material domains.

@memento_vivere_ 5 ай бұрын

@@Shayu9986 I think you are confused between original and fragile resin. Ppl mostly advice new players not to spend fragile resin before reaching AR 45 because they are rare so treasure those (you can only get them as AR/events rewards or from Battle Pass). Original resin is refreshed at the rate of 1 every 8 minutes unlike fragile resin. It is naturally capped at 160. (You can increase the amount by refreshing using fragile resin, transient resin or primos, but at low AR, I wouldn't recommend it as I don't see why you have to hurry that much) You have to obviously use original resin to farm normal and weekly bosses for materials. You cannot use condensed resin for that. Condensed resin can be only used in domains and ley lines. You can craft condensed resin at the crafting table from any type of resin. Yes the max number of condensed resin you can keep at once is 5 (but you can keep condensing again and again by refreshing the original resin later) I know this is a lot to understand for a new player but if you are still confused you can ask again.

@memento_vivere_ 5 ай бұрын

@@Shayu9986 We use condensed resin to farm domains and ley lines mostly to save time because you are essentially getting double the rewards from a single run. See as you know you get 4 condensed resin with 160 resin. So using 4 condensed resin in a domain is equal to using original resin 8 times for the same number of rewards. Also that is the only way to store resin for future use if you suppose were busy doing some quest or had no time to play didn't want to waste it.
