I know the lore of all 3 games can be abit much and mixing the lores can get overwhelming especially if you dont play all the games but I'm curious what you all think of the false sky what purpose it serves for people within and what lies beyond 😊

[@Seraphsxd]

Hmm, regarding your explanation on around 49:29 about the ouroboros and the devourers of the worlds, what do you think about the fact that Dainsleif’s constellation has been confirmed by hoyo on the chinese character card to be ouroboros 🤔 @TheGamerChronicles999

It would be quite funny if Traveler becomes Akivili. Akivilis homeplanet is suppoused to be isolated and it is named "Pegana" that is probably reference to book "The Gods of Pegāna" which is fantasy novel about multiple gods living in Pegāna, which would fit Teyvat pretty well, since there are so many gods there too.

[@mirawaismehmood4520]

The traveller isn’t from Teyvat

[@slm1410]

Wait you’re onto something. Akivili and their followers “the nameless” well guess who Teyvat does not know the name and we’ve learned this because of the “we will be reunited quest” between the twins : the traveler, we know now they use a nickname only them know the name of each others. To the rest of the world they’re nothing more than travelers in Teyvat. And we have further proofs that at least the two universes of HSR and GI are truly connected. “Countless shooting stars streak across the night sky... If you can pick the right one, it will carry your wish to thousands of distant worlds." Adrian smith (Honkai star rail fable of the stars, about AKIVILI) that line always struck me because it is also made me think about genshin wishing system, the sibling also arrive to Teyvat in forms of shooting stars. "I believe on the other side of the Starry Sea is a planet inhabited by gods who can answer all prayers and wishes, and everyone bearing a wish is on a journey to get there.” (Vera’s melancholy book in genshin impact) I like the idea of the traveler ascending to Aeon hood after Teyvat chapter.

[@TheGamerChronicles999]

I thought of that but the way the HP bullied us at the start of the game makes me think we arent strong enough to br an aeon unless... this is how we become one?😮

[@unseensun3304]

Damn I did not expect to get featured in a video. Thanks for the shoutout! Anyway here are some mistakes you made I will point out: (common misconceptions due to EN misinterpretation from CN text) The Imaginary Tree is a representation of the universe. Worlds in the Honkaiverse are around the size of a solar system, each being separated by barriers of imaginary energy that cannot be traversed through without being an Emanator, Aeon, or possessing certain FTL technology. The reason many people mistakenly consider "worlds" as universes is due to old EN misinterpretations within HI3rd. The original CN text follows the "1 universe, many worlds" rule. The Honkai stems from the Cocoon of Finality. The Honkai is NOT a test to determine whether a world should be pruned, it is a test for humanity to evolve and eventually embrace the Cocoon of Finality. The CoF is a higher dimensional being, which Dr. MEI theorised to have come into existence via an alien civilisation merging itself with their planet. Essentially, the Cocoon put the Sol. System in a bloody cycle of trial and error over the course of millions of years. Each time Humanity succumbed to the Honkai the Cocoon would turn back time and restart the clock, allowing for a "new" humanity emerge again only to eventually face the Honkai as they grow more and more advanced. This cycle would eventually be broken due to Elysia's existence being a "glitch in the system", allowing for the creation of Herrschers that choose to fight for Humanity to exist. This cycle was done because the Cocoon is estimated to have been around for billions of years, and thus had become extremely lonely as no other beings were able to properly communicate with them due to being in a higher plane of existence. We do know Honkai is not restricted to one world alone thanks to the Sky People, so it may be possible more than one Cocoon of Finality exists in the universe, as the Cocoon is only able to affect 1 world at a time.

[@Hinoirocks]

It seems like things were going that way until the aftermath of Sa's boss battle. Not impossible that she would've became something akin to the Cocoon after some time( a lot of it). I could imagine Genshin pt 2 dealing with the aftermath. After all, the Ark is supposed to open eventually

[@shopnil4]

Honestly, this was probably one of the most convincing theories I've seen. I really love how you put it all together starting from yhe beginning to where we are now, and how it connects to the Honkai games.

[@seraphi3387]

Generally there are three ways for Civilization to deal with Honkai: 1. Complete Rejection: Venus and PE approach. Just fight them head on. Generally result in failure. 2. Evacuate to Simulated Universe: Digitize everyone and have them live in sufficiently advanced quantum computer, advanced enough it's considered Bubble World, not 'just' simulation. Mars approach, and roughly comparable to Project Stigma. Actual world still get destroyed, which result in Cocoon move on to next planet. 3. Embrace with Cocoon: Kiana and CE approach. Gain power from Cocoon and wield Finality power.

[@dashhound8974]

Dude wtf you WORK for HOYOVERSE dont you!?!? Seriously not even finished yet but you're track record is so good that I have chills

[@ZeroShiGu]

There's a very interesting dialogue in Honkai Star Rail that I've always felt is a reference to Teyvat, the false sky and the Irminsul "database." If you go to the Divination Commission, near the place where you can regularly talk to Fu Xuan, there's a "Matrix Manager" named Huixing who says: "Xianzhou had once visited a world where the residents used something called an Aquascope to scry into the future. That thing was even more accurate than the Matrix of Prescience, and our exploration team couldn't help but pore ourselves into researching this technology. We later came to realize that this Aquascope was no mystery at all. That world simply has a limited amount of information. There wasn't much computational power and data input needed to predict the future there. In comparison, the Luofu sails through galaxies of stars, not a machine-esque world as predictable as a complex clockwork of unerring precision." I think this very obviously refers to the scryglass Mona and other astrologists use to read fate in Teyvat, but we know that fate is determined by the false sky or Irminsul, which fits the description of a "machine-esque clockwork world." If the IPC stumbled upon this "Tevyat," it's plausible that the Xianzhou also did at some point.

[@robertsanssouci2093]

You have to think about the abyss as an invisible ocean. On the ocean there exists lilly pads. One of those pads had someone land on it and they created a huge dome that covers a portion of it. Whatever is inside the dome is still thriving and full of life. Outside the dome is a dead area. Beings can travel from pad to pad using the abyss. The abyss is constantly trying to drown the pad and the pad drinks the abyss in order to maintain itself. It’s a back and forth. The sky people are running across a dead universe because they’re being chased by the Honkai. They happened upon the dome and they broke in and took over. The dome is currently keeping them safe while they steal all the resources and leave Tevat as dead as the rest of the universe. Fatui will destroy the dome and allow the Honkai to fight the Sky People. Once they’re defeated the Will of the Honkai will reverse the universal damage and reignite the dead star so that the area outside the dome can sustain life again

One giveaway for Teyvat being a simulated Universe is the millisecond you go into the menu. If you watch closely you can see a wiremesh of the world before it loads the Character menu. A wiremesh for a world based on polygons. A game. This is a very odd stylistisc choice for the overall art style of Teyvat. I only noticed it myself because the game froze for a second while loading.

[@electricallymarshmallows3508]

I find it really interesting that out of all the nations in Teyvat, only the history of the Shogun's second story quest would survive. Now that I think about it, the very purpose of the Yae Publishing house was to foster writing and literacy throughout the people of Inazuma. Yae Miko even says in her voice lines that she views the stories that people write and pass down as a form of eternity. It could very well be that the stories of Inazuma outlasted the histories of the other nations by the time the ICP arrives.

[@JomatoSoup]

I am only in the beginning of your video, but I think the gnosis are being collected for the traveler. Death is a rule. The shades enforce the rules of Teyvat. Whoever is in control of Teyvat controls what the rules are. The gnosis are going to amplify all our powers. We are part of a prophecy to reweave Teyvat’s fate. We will undo the original curse. And then we will hand the power over to the people. The archons have been farming the will of the people into the gnosis via visions. Just like the contending fire. The last enemy will be something from space, but I don’t think it will be the honkai.

[@JomatoSoup]

Further in now. I don’t think the HP and PO are the same. I think the HP is the second descender and the PO is dead or in process of reincarnation via Paimon. You cooked with this though! Great video!

I dont think so. In the loading screen, we always see the phrase "Teyvat has it own rule". That can explain, if some entity entered Teyvat, they will be limited their power. Just like some Manhua, the guy from higher universe cant do anything if they enter Earth/or some lower power. That may be why Quantumm & Imaginary power almost dont exist in Teyvat, or exist but super tiny, like what we see in fontaine. So i think Welt cant do anything, even if he used to be Herrscher of Reason

[@w1nther930]

If we are speaking Genshin being a canonical part of the star rail universe, then there is one theory I'd like to bring up made by Wei. This theory suggests that the Traveler is an Aeon or will become one, specifically Akivili, or at the very least connected with the Astral express. First of all, there is a suspicious amount of symbols on the Traveler's clothes that is also on the Astral Express train. Take a good look at the male traveler and the Astral Express Train. The color scheme is exactly the same, both share the pattern called "Fluer de lis", which you can see on the Traveler's little round circle at the belt of the pants and on the shoulder pads, while Fluer de lis is present on the front of the Astral express on the right side of the circle on the front. Zhongli likens the Traveler as observers in Teyvat. Dan Heng refers to the nameless as observers of countless worlds. Akivili is latin corruption of Aquila, and in Genshin, there's a weapon called "Aquila Favonia". Aquila Favonia is the weapon of Vanessa, one of the four winds. Now Venti becomes important. Nahida, the last official archon to release, has already had 2 story quests. Venti, the first ever banner five star, has only had his one, and he is an Archon. You'd expect him to be more important? He is. Venti asks us at the end of the Mondstadt quest that once we find our sister, if we would like to become one of the four winds. A god, basicly. This is a super early foreshadowing of Traveler's ascension to godhood, or perhaps Aeonhood First of all, look at the traveler's character profile. "The Keeper is fading away (Dainsleif, the bough keeper probably), the creator has not yet come. But the world shall burn no more, for you shall ascend." Ascend to become a god or Aeon likely. If you take a look at Venti's statue in mondstadt, you'll see symbols. If you flip it, it litterally spells out "The gateway of Celestia". Venti's second quest can only come once we're ready to become a god. However, this character profile can also be interpreted as the ascension to become a loom of fate, because Traveler's final character profile is litterally called "Loom of fate" and Dainsleif says that if we defeat him at the end of our journey, the threads of all fate are ours to weave. So, the Aeonhood theory might be less credible because of this, however, It is scary that how much of paralells you can draw towards the Traveler and Akivil. The theory is here if you want to see it:kzbin.info/www/bejne/emLWkqttoK9jbKc

About Ouroboros, there is a world quest in Enkanomiya about him, a place called "Serpent's heart"(the quest itself is called "The Heart of Ouroboros"). Also, the fissure in the dessert part of Sumeru, the first astronomical anomaly we see as travelers, can be literally seen in Tunigi Hollow before we clean the place. By that I mean you can stand on the Tunigi Hollow's center and look down on the literal tree that repels the Abyss. Also I wonder if we can pin there Paimon being able to stop the time (esc button, Paimon appears, the time stops, but we still can hear the char's idle, silly no?) or how she basically is the in lore border of the world, silly how it gets foggy and Red when we approach it no?

This doesn't really have anything to do with this video but I'm commenting it here so it's more likely to be seen. About the Traveller potentially becoming the pyro archon, I was watching an old video from a different youtuber and they talked about the twins connection to Lucifer and how Paimon follows us around and that the demon Paimon was the most loyal to Lucifer, anyway I'm not going to explain the whole thing but one of the things mentioned was that one some things say that Lucifer was a seraphim (angel with 6 wings) and that while Seraphim's power sometimes extend to light it is mostly connected to fire. Plus someone in the comments said that the twins wings in the game files were called seraphwings. Anyway if the Traveller does become the pyro archon (god of fire) I thought this was an interesting connection.

sure that may very well be a posibility that Nibelung became a decender, after all.. the decenders are just a status given to people carrying a will that can defy the laws of the world. him going outside the borders of Teyvat to obtain power and getting confident beyond reason, could bring him up to that classification. same as, just because you are not from Teyvat and "enter it's borders" does not make you a decender, as you do not fulfill the requirements for that specific status

[@Pat005pro]

Now that you mention it, it's very interesting that we never throughout the whole Genshin travel even thought to ask about Paimon's origin or species nor do we get the choice to ask about her (it's like we got so accustomed to her from the start that we don't even care or something). We know that she's also affected by the changes in Irminsul, but she doesn't look or dress like anyone in Teyvat nor does she seem to know anyone or know Teyvat per se by which I mean she says that she's a guide, but as far as I remember she doesn't recognize nor know the way of getting to different places in Teyvat (we always need some local to say some place before Paimon mentiones we should go there or we have "another" guide to get somewhere). Even the Archons, witches from the Hexenzirkel, Khaenrians like Dain or Capitano and dragons seem to know or care about her (they know she's there with us, but dont seem to wonder and ask who she actually is). But the question is why did she appear when we started our journey and not when our sibling did and is her data in Irminsul (and if it is, why didn't Nahida say anything about her)? Also, do we know where Arlecchino is actually from or how she was created and "cursed"? Could she be another one of Rhinedottir's (idk if I spelled that correctly) "experiments" or maybe even a daughter of a Khaenrian and some other nation's person that was experimented on to get the "curse"? I guess that couldn't really be the case since that would mean she has to be at least 500 years old unless she's also an Alberich like Kaeya or one of the Sinners' daughter (I know it's a hard stretch, but we haven't seen any of the Sinners, as far as I'm aware, and we don't know what they've been doing since the Cataclysm). One of the things I also wonder is if the city in the sky is actually the real Celestia and Teyvat is just some sort of a pocket dimension we get to by entering the door from the loading screen, where did the (Sustainer of) Heavenly principals come from in the very beginning and why isn't she in Celestia full time? And why did her portal have the same colours as her "corruption"? Could she be fighting another war while keeping an eye on Teyvat?

[@demkadeem]

that’s one thing i’ve been thinking about. there are no “bad” guys, it’s all been a matter of perspective and knowledge. the same way the captains and mavuika’s ideologies oppose each others because of their different histories. when we started we thought the fatui were just an evil entity, but the more we learn, the more we see they feel slighted by “fate” and are just trying to change it the way they know best. to destroy this false sky. But do they know the full repercussions of these actions. I do think the primordial one established the fake sky as an act of love to protect the world from what’s beyond. but as these actions have been lost to time, so has the understanding of it. i don’t know who’s ultimately right, but burning irminsul would be akin to rewriting the night kingdom. is it OK for all that history to just be lost, so we can experience the darkness beyond the fermament? knowledge is power, but just like when Adam and Eve ate the apple, it came at a price. to be cast out, to introduce sin and pain. is this knowledge worth it, or is ignorance bliss?

[@jeffdcgamer1077]

Pretty much the only ones that’s evil are the 5 sinners which most likely are using the traveler sibling when the loom of fate is complete

[@demkadeem]

@@jeffdcgamer1077 even then, the 5 sinners likely are very curious people who were in over their heads. likely finding out they’re in a “simulation” drove them to find out the truth, which invited i the abyss. maybe they’re battling their own corruption

@@demkadeemum from what i remember the sinners turned their back on their nation, they had the power to overcome their problems and they chose out of selfishness to not do so, i remember Dain saying that. so nah f them ho3s

[@iosis9324]

​​​@@jeffdcgamer1077 There is NO information in the game about Sinners being evil. Their only bad deed at the moment is that they had is not help Khaenri'ah, but Dainsleif by the way has the same sin according to Twin, which he did not try to deny. And we know that Gold suffers from severe mental problems because of which she rarely can think straight and she maybe tries to destroy all her creatures when she can think straight, one of evil Sinners by the way. And Sinners have no confirmed connection with the Abyss Order, even Vedrfolnir, because of which this order appeared, has no confirmed connection with them, from what we know, he just helped a couple of Hilichurls and Caribert's father who accidentally wandered into his shelter, free themselves from fate and curse, which does not look like an evil act, also Look of Fate already completed.

Aeon of permanence video would be greatly appreciated 👏🏽. Also to note that your analytical view on the fake sky of teyvat is very spot on . Keep up the good work 👏🏽.

[@Matias-fg7fy]

I have never really gotten into any other Hoyoverse games just because Genshin has a simpler and less technological charm, and that's what most players fell in love with, so I really hope that they manage to connect the games without just making it high-tech computer simulation shenanigans. I loved your video tho, way to get me hooked on Genshin lore of all things loool

[@th0r0shvener52]

they are slowly reintroducing high tech in Genshin through the Natlan clans (especially Kinich and Xilonen), the Hexenzirkel (Alice bringing tech from the outside worlds) and Arlecchino glitching. Khaenriah is considered peak for the past since they made a perpetual motion machine. They also had live camera broadcast inside the big Rune Guards in Sumeru. You can use the camera as a targetting mechanism for the weapon systems onboard.

The boy whose eyes and soul are golden like the sun, thy name is Nara Traveler. The pearl in the moonlight, pure as silver, thy name is Paimon. -Arayasa in Aranara questline just before they're about to sing

[@th0r0shvener52]

the Aranara also mention "Cannot blow him (The Traveler) away, the Ad Oblivione" something related to Thousand Winds/Mare Jivare and Istaroth perhaps

[@HelloAbby-m3t]

you my friend have cracked the code everything about paimon, arlecchino ngl never stopped to think about much they talk about fate in this game! Dont play the other games but was very interesting might need to try star rail as the lore seems interesting from what you discribed, thanks for sharing this video

[@TheBilayer]

subscribed for your work! 12:15 I believe is the reference of tower of babel No one can escape teyvat because we are trap in the the world. escape teyvat is defying the "heavenly principle" the door from the start is an exit which act like pandora box. teyvat is a lucid dream

[@ExplosiveCrimson.]

I feel like the loading screen is the "bridge" between teyvat and celestia. When the traveler and their twins were about to go to the "next world" which could have been celestia, the "sustainer of heavenly principals" shows up and traps them in those red squares/cubes. As they completely covered the twins, it seemed as if they weren't affected by the cubes being around them other than the fact they were immobilized (this reminds me of the crimson threads that arlecchino immobilized the traveler with during their duel).. and that feels like the cubes have a sort of depth to them that makes it so the traveler's didn't just get squished. This "depth" I'm trying to explain could very well be the world of teyvat.. and all the "sustainer of heavenly principals" had to do was use their power to open a hole in the sky. "And now, I'm trapped here"

[@mistymoon883]

The purpose of our journey in Teyvat? Our sibling urges us to learn the truth of this world, perhaps that is also why the Heavenly Principles allowed us to live and kept us in Teyvat. Maybe they want us to experience and understand what Teyvat truly is so we can take up their mantle and rule over Teyvat in their stead. If they really have been corrupted and can’t continue holding control over the world they will need a successor. Our sibling was released first, but chose to side with the Abyss and thus would be opposed to keeping Teyvat closed off from the rest of the universe. We are now on our journey, and I think it’s likely that our experience is quite different from our sibling. My thought is that we will choose to protect the world and keep the place we have come to care about safe from the harm beyond the false sky. Maybe it is why we were sent Paimon as well. Our “guide” that helps us connect with the world we are exploring. This is just what thoughts I had when watching the video. I have only been playing for 5 1/2 months and have tons of content to get through, but I fell in love with the story and lore and couldn’t help but watch videos like this. I’m also unfamiliar with the other games and doubt that I will ever play them. I just wanted something to occupy my time and looked for a fantasy RPG game that had lots of content and a story that I could get lost in. Combat was completely new for me and video games in general so I admittedly struggle, but I am enjoying myself and absolutely fascinated with just how deep and complex the lore really is.

[@hunterlavish]

As someone who only plays genshin, and is otherwise just vaguely familiar with the imaginary tree and sea of quanta, this is pretty much the line of thinking ive been at. Particularly I think dendro appearing more digital than biological is a sign pointing to teyvat being a synthetic world. I've got 2 points for food for thought: 1. Is I've always kind of thought Alice might actually be from Alice in Wonderland. Like the same Alice, who kept travelling between story book worlds. Simulanka added a lot of interesting implications with that idea. I would curious what your thoughts are there. 2. The other is something I didnt think of til watching this video which is "Hexenzirkel" - while "Hexe" is obviously meant to mean witch, when you were mentioning them in the context of code, the sky and constellations representing peoples coded fate, I realized what if Hex is wordplay on hexidecimal - obviously this word play would only be in english/german etc. But I would be interested to know if there are any other wordplays in the CN and JP languages at least for the Hexenzirkel equivalent term that could be associated with code.

[@li-say]

It is really enteresting how details and hidden bits keep crossing the hoyo universe, some of them obvious, some less, going many times unnoticed. I think some references might just be born as marketing devices but still, I think the developers/writers are doing quite a good job keeping it the right degree of mysterious yet engaging at the same time, within their purpose! I loved the video, very well done! It might be a little thing, but, thank you, thank you, thank you for the part about the "canon" character being either of the siblings! I think too many people fixate on the visual representation in the battle pass sequence (which is now sadly gone by the way T_T) without realizing that what Venti is narrating is just an allegory, a myth, and the visual representation is just meant to distinguish the two "heirs" visually, only to distinguish them, for convenience, not a faithful depiction of it. I really loved to see someone finally gets it! :)

[@TheGamerChronicles999]

@li-say yes I agree keeps the game intriguing and 100% agree I think genshin lore can be tricky to navigate but the BP trailer and the siblings is one area where the fans make it more complicated then it actually is since venti says its our story, Happy you enjoyed the video thank you 😊

[@qaztim11]

Regarding the last 20 minutes or so: It would be really cool once the games are tackling the same story arc or meta narrative, with each of them showing a specific moment in time Genshin showing the Past Honkai showing the Present Star rail showing the future With what Mavuika has said, Past present and future all happen at once, with each of them influencing and changing the others ZZZ is also looking very interesting with the little nuggets of lore regarding the larger hoyoverse we are getting, although it is still very early on with the story, the hollow phenomenom is extremely similar to what happens to bubble universes that are being consumed by the sea of quanta. I really like how Hoyo is handling this metarrative, they are building to something huge, but it might take another 3 (end of celestia arc at the earliest) or maybe even 10 years for us to see the walls come down.

It's crazy how much history you're missing because of these time-limited events. I've been playing for over 3 years now. Unfortunately, the CC's weren't that diligent in the beginning, so many of these events often only appear here incomplete. It's amazing what you created there. Almost all of these are “facts from the game” and the theories about them are also very coherent. I don't like Natlan at all. But the 5.1 Archon Quest really saved my day today. The story finally picks up some momentum. Although I very much hope that we don't end up in a simulation. And no, the video wasn't too long. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for that. ❤

[@shlokdobarkar2086]

I has this observation regarding Chlothar Alberich. Remember Eula'a voicelines about Yanfei during the time when Yanfei was unknowingly escorting goods for the abyss from DORNMAN PORT, and was endangered for having a look into it, tahts when Eula saved her . The inportant part was most probably that thing she was supposed to escort was the Lost Statue of Seven that we later se hanged upside down in the We will be reunited quest. But if this is true we know that Chlothar was the one who ordered the Abyss to steal the Statue. So that would conclude that Chlothar didnt die 100s of years before but died very recently maybe 2-3 years ago and the one responsible to break his immortality curse was whatever he did to the Upside down Venti Statue that was flooding with Abyssal energy , remember even the Grand thief we saw kneeling down was killed. Most probably there was someone else involved in awakening something taht would revert the curse. Maybe Vedrfolnir was involved. Maybe if you remember in the Caribert Archon Quest in the end Dainsleif says that the one in the Crystal has most probably seen us traveling through our sibling's memories . That would mean Vedrfolnir is still active and maybe not in the form of a crystal but an actual body

This reminded me of how Raiden Shogun wanted to cut Inazuma off from the rest of Teyvat so time would stand still for eternity and to not become advanced like khaenri'ah but because she wasn't present at the cataclysm, she doesn't know exactly why they were nuked other than the abyss. Makes me wonder if she knew what happened would she have taken more drastic measures in Inazuma. I also wonder if the other Archons know about Natlan's ley lines and the abyss.

The symbol on her chest is also sometimes used to represent the cycle of life. Life, death and rebirth. But hers is upside down, so it might represent rebirth, life, and then death. And we are essentially reborn having forgotten our memories

[@themetalhead8927]

I'm interested into knowing how the original inhabitants of Teyvat came into existence! I have watched this video over at least 3 times and while there was a lot piled into here I still feel like the origin is where to start at and get a better understanding about Teyvat and it's origin, along with the dragons too. It's impossible for them to just "appear" definitely a whole "bag of worms" video I'm definitely interested into hearing about.

About the twins, if the theory of the "time loop" is true, it would mean that both Lumine and Aether were prince/princesse so both are canon, we are just playing a different time loop. I don't know if what I say holds ground but that would be my interpretation

I watched the cutscenes of sky splitting open enough to realize something The new abyss enemy was entranced and it takes the shape of enemies and phenomenas to barrow their skills and abilities and that vortex in the sky was similar to those enemies so here is my theory What mavuika did wasn't turn the vortex into ash and opening a whole in a fake sky by accident but was actually a push shot that shattered the entity at the center of the vortex that was taking the shape of a moon possibly a crimson moon and mavuika broke that fake moon as it formed and pushed it beyond the false sky as a mean of stopping it's effect on natlan by being behind the protective barrier of a false sky a thing made by a god that is stronger than anything in tayvat and was only broken temporarily by the power of it's derivatives (a shade) On top of that any massive celestial body can't remain broken for long as it's gravity will always pull it back together or get gravitated towards a greater celestial bodies that has stronger gravitational pull being absorbed to it in progress so the shatter moon we see was shattered relatively recently this could also be part of the abyss twin plan as well since that moon is now beyond the realm of tayvat and considering the size of the size of the moon chunks we saw it could house a small abyssal army with investigation goal in mind i mean the abyss didn't start it's massive invasion after that vortex was formed and didn't have any reason to stop after the vortex was destroyed considering oddly enough despite being an abyssal invasion we didn't see any high ranking abyss monsters only low level hilicurls and rift hounds and the occasional abyss mage and no high ranking members like harelds and lectors or even serpents just some enemies that the adventurers book recognize as common while the actual abyss higher ups weren't on the ground to even command the forces just randomly attacking randomly and their game plan was just keep attacking until they overwhelm natlan like i didn't know the abyss has kokomi as rule model for good strategist just take the high ground stop any transport balloons and isolate the weaker fronts what do you gain from capturing the beach first it's not like a port that has important supply routes it's just a beach the only logical explanation was just to kill people with no further goal just animalistic bloodshed in the name of bloodshed there is no way the abyss twin signed up on this invasion just to kill people i think her goal was to get an archon to use her power to cleaverly get beyond the false sky for some bigger goal especially after she realized that the heavenly principals are inactive

[@RedBloodyGirl]

Please, delve more in HI3 I know the chapters sometimes can be heavy to experience since the gameplay is not very smooth but there is a lot more in common between HI3 and Genshin than Genshin and Star Rail. I'm gonna spoiler a little bit of HI3 so if you want to play the game don't read further: - Since the release of HOF Kiana I haven't seen a single theorycrafter talk about how the star shaped Pupil of kiana are the same as Kaenrians, The finality symbol is everywhere in Genshin, Primogems, Paimon headpiece, traverler dress, you name it. - The coocon of finality is a Giant eye with a star shaped Pupil on the moon. - The whole Kiana and moon thing has enough material for an hour long video expecially connected with genshin. - Dainsleif is probably a Otto Expy (Where do I even star with this...) or if he is not, he has a brother that probably is (Where do I even start pt2). - The artifact sets have a direct corrispondence with herrschers names in CN with Kiana (Goblet), Bronya (Crown), Seele being the "Herrscher" of life and death (and being associated with Flowers). There's also Fu Hua, heavely associated with rebirth, fire and the main conduit for her powers are plumes. - The whole Sa character, and the "abyss of the sea of quanta" - Griseo and the Ark, also I believe there could be some dots to connect even with Kosma. Those are just food for thoughts and things I feel are connected with genshin but I don't have the time to research, hope someone find them interesting enough to delve into them. I also Hope that the next patch will not pull a "final lesson" on us because I swear I have suffered enough emotional damage with Masquerade of the guilty.

This was a good vid i do generally think paimon is that heavenly principles i also think the 7 cardinal sins play a role and are reflected in the 7 nations But paimon might be the cardinal sin gluttony venti is sloth raiden is greed or pride probably pride and sumeru could be argued as lust for knowledge greed could the land of mora while fontain could be envy natlan is wrath and not sure about snezhnaya but it feels like when we have a nee region we end up solving the calamity of an associated cardinal sin to resolve the lands problems

[@jacklenden505]

food for thought: what if Teyvat is underdeveloped because it is the first story. like you said it happened long ago and maybe it might be the final story also (rumours about a Genshin 2) and the reason the Abyss made it to Khaen'riah is not because they took tech from other civilizations but rather, they were the first technologically advanced civilizations. maybe in teyvat were playing memories of what happened eons ago. and maybe even the planet no longer exits in it's entirety. maybe parts of it were eventually destroyed by the Abyss
