We all know that Paimon is the god of time. She stops time when we summon her aka open the menu and we can skip time

Random map designer -> **sweats profusely**

The game would carry so much more meaning if only half of the streamers tried to immerse themselves this deep in the tevyat's lore instead of a never ending AR grind and criticism

I think that the reason why the Tsaritsa broke off all contact with the other archons is because of something that made her change. Zhongli tells us that the dendro archon is only 500 years old, so that means the previous dendro archon died around the time of this big catastrophic event. With the tsaritsa being the god of love i have a feeling that she loved all the archons dearly but when the dendro archon got killed in this big catastrophe she saw it as a betrayal from the divine up in celestia which is why shes now gathering all the gnoses to fight the divine. As for what sparked the catastrophe... idk lmao

I've been a honkai player since it came out and the only reason I'm playing this game is because I know mihoyo's potential. Genshin impact might seem a easy going game at first but as you start paying attention to the little details things get dark pretty quickly can't wait to see how the story develops throughout genshin development.

There's one thing I noticed recently in the game. Inside in the Venti quest, we found out that Timme's imaginary friend is a ruin hunter. Inside Childe quest's, his brother also mentioned Mr. Cyclops , it turned out to be a ruin hunter. This makes me wonder. Is Timme's father who left him behind is actually Childe and Teucer's father? Is Timmie their lost brother? Upon closer investigation, TImme's eye color is the same to Childe's eye colour. And the colour of his hair is exactly the same to Childe's hair colour.

Amber : Traveller! The power of the Unknown God can control ti- *time stops*

And here we thought it was just a random crab island to collect crabs. Man that was amazingly deep, it just blows my mind.

Aether Profile/Voice-Over About Nightmares Paimon:Have you ever had one of those super scary nightmares,Aether? Aether:Um,I've dreamed of falling through endless darkness... Aether:Without a wind glider. Paimon:Eek... Aether: *I've also dreamed of my sister walking away from me,while I'm unable to catch up to her no matter fast I run.* Aether: *...She tells me that I've "come too late."* Paimon:Yours are quite different from the ones that Paimon's had. Paimon:Paimon's scariest dream was being eaten by a super giant slime. COINCEDENCE?! I THINK NOT

Who else wants to know where Aether and Lumine(The MC Twins) come from?

this game was meant to be a story game yet streamers only focus on how “hot” the female characters are...

Hey I saw this(Chinese explanations) comment under that story teaser, Please see if this holds anything (This has a lot of explanations & kinda suits your theory as well) (This is just a copy-paste) " After reading a Chinese explanation, I thought it was a good guess. No one here wrote it, so I translated it: First of all, you have to know Mihoyo have a game called Honkai Impact before, according to the setting inside, when people's technology is more advanced, it will trigger the so-called Honkai. And Honkai will destroy human civilization. In the story of Honkai Impact, it has been confirmed that Genshin Imapact is a parallel world with the same rules. So the story is like this. About 3000 or even earlier, Teyvat was almost destroyed because of Honkai. At that time, some people sacrificed themselves to protect the world. These can be read from Venti's poems (but this paragraph It seems that in the comics, Mihoyo’s tradition, the plot is half in the comic and half in the game). After that, human civilization has also regressed substantially. Because of this disaster, the ancients began to fear the development of civilization, so they made a sky island system. The function of this system was to select seven gods and let them manage human civilization, so that the world would not be destroyed by Honkai. Since then, the gods who symbolize the seven qualities have been selected: freedom, contracts, eternal, wisdoms ,justice, war and love. Make another irresponsible guess on this person. The god that appeared at the beginning of the game should be the main god of Sky Island, used to manage other gods' work. And it's very likely Paimon. All the gods in this game are named after Ars Goetia. There are Barbatos and Morax and Paimon in the story up to now. So how could she be just an emergency food. About 500 years ago, a new country appeared, which was the last country in this video, Khaenri'ah. This country quickly developed a high-level civilization, and many places on the map have the remains of this country. However, according to the rules of sky island, this country have to be destroyed. So the war began. What can be confirmed is that all the seven gods should have participated in this war and had an impact on several gods. (There is a description in the other PV. Most people have not seen Barbatos for a thousand years, but only one person has not seen him for 500 years, indicating that someone has seen Venti 500 years ago. When the war broke out) The ending can be imagined, the Khaenri'ah was defeated by the gods, and their people were cursed and turned into monsters, namely hilichurls and abyss mage. But they left some uncursed descendants, such as the new character ​​that appeared in this video and kaeya.(So kaeya ​​and amber will be strengthened sooner or later. Amber has a very strong potential in comics, so sooner or later Mihoyo will come up with a new Amber.) These descendants should exist for revenge and fulfill their ideas. The idea of the Khaenri'ah people can be found in this video, that begin at 3:00 , "in the perpetual meantime of a sheltered eternity, most are content to live, and not to dream. but in the hidden corners where the gods' gaze does not fall, there are those who dream of dreaming. some say a few are chosen and the rest are dregs, but i say we humans have our humanity. we will defy this world with a power from beyond." Although most of them have become monsters, they still challenged the god, the sky island, with human identities. So it can be understood why another traveler wants to help the abyss. Turning back to the seven gods, after the war, several gods began to reflect on the correctness of the sky island. Among them, the biggest action is the god of cryo, she is also the god of love, and she has seen too many people lose their lovers in the war. So she established the Fatui organization, she distributed her power to her subordinates, she abandoned her identity as a god, and together with her followers, she prepared to challenge the sky island. In comparison, although the actions are not that big, the god of freedom, god of contracts and god of wisdom all show resistance to the sky island rules. Is freedom at the mercy of sky island still freedom? Can a forced contract really be called a contract? Since the development of civilization is a folly of self-destruction, then what is wisdom? So the narrative in the video appeared, Venti allowed Mondstadt to be completely autonomous by humans, he no longer interfered, Zhongli ended all contracts in Liyue, god of wisdom ignored the so-called "folly" of scientific research and cultural development in Semeru. Some people will resist and naturally some will comply. You can know from the video that god of eterna and god of justice still abide by the rules of sky island. And God of war can't see her position from the video description, may resist or continue to comply. Yes, according to the comic, she is probably a female. Coupled with Mihoyo's consistent "lazy behavior", it is likely to be Himeko's modeling. :) (Finally, the above content is purely inferred from the existing conditions, and may not be correct, it is only for reference.) PS:There are many hidden stories in the books, weapon descriptions and artifacts descriptions in the game. You need to read them together to make a complete story. It's worth exploring. "

and it turns out, that sealed God of Time is in fact the *EMERGENCY FOOD*

I feel like Mihoyo's use of the word 'Impact' for the game titles and that it symbolizes catastrophe is a reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion's apocalyptic impacts. Hope the game gets a dark twist as well if true, like unlocking another impact as an end of the main story before year 2 expansion 😁

It also makes sense how venti lost all his godly powers in this duel with sustainer of heavenly principles and turned into normal anemo spirit only gaining a fraction of his former glory after taking the form and ideals of a random bard who so bravely died fighting for monstad's freedom

Have you ever factored in the idea that Aether and Lumine could be some form of space gods? They traveled space going from world to world, usually taking the form of a comet/meteor. Aether is Latin for the Sky and is primarily used as a same for the dark void of space, and Lumine means light obviously referencing the stars. You could see in their color schemes that Aether has darker clothes while Lumine has lighter ones. Lumine and Aether have also said that they have travelled countless worlds and they have incredible sword skills even by knight standards, which is something I highly doubt they can achieve if they're (at most) in their late 20's. I mean they seriously look like teenagers, even Lisa thought they were teenagers hence the phrase "AT YOUR AGE, those types of fleeting fantasies-". If they are space gods, in a way they are timeless, eternal, everlasting; beings that can even outlast the Time god hence she imprisoned them in fear of their power. Because she knows that sooner or later, whether it be 100 or even millions of years that they're gonna return eventually. Also since canonically Lumine is the one that established the Abyss Order, she could've possibly named the Abyss Order after Aether since.. you know Aether, despite literally meaning Sky, has been used as a name for the Void of space, which has also been described as the Abyss of space.

Teyvat means "Ark" in Hebrew. In Honkai, there was this "Ark" project that was supposed to be sent out into space to look for a new hospitable planet, and funnily enough, it was depicted visually as "2 stars flying together across space", which resemble Aether and Lumine (2 stars flying together across worlds?). Not only that, but the Sustainer looks like God Kiana from Honkai, they both claim to be the sustainers of principles (physics), not only that, but they have the EXACT same model, but different clothes, and not only that, but also share voice actress. Kiana despises humans, AS DOES THE SUSTAINER, hence why she stopped and separated the brothers, because their mission was to SAVE HUMANITY. Also. Paimon is an ELF. ("Equiment: Life Form.") Probably the sustainer in an ELF avatar. And her name "Paimon" comes from demonology. "Paimon is a spirit named in the Lesser Key of Solomon (in the Ars Goetia.)" Also, Paimon powers in Ars Goetia: "...teaching science and answering other questions. The Goetia and Weyer specify that his knowledge includes all arts and "secret Things", such as knowledge regarding the Earth, its waters, and the winds." Also, the names of the Archons are TOO from demonology. (Barbatos and Morax known so far.) As a fun trivia, the names of the Fatui Harbingers all come from characters of the Commedia dell'arte. Also, the Muratans Venti talks about in the Prologue of the manga are probably descendants of Himeko Murata from Honkai Impact. She uses fire, has red hair and is super super fierce and strong, just like Venti describes the Muratans.

Very interesting, but I think there are some heavy reaches in some parts of the video. I think it's much more likely that Paimon is the god of time, not the unknown god: 1. Paimon has time-related powers that can be seen in gameplay mechanics, and are also mentioned once on the hidden island. Her name fits the demonic name style of the 3 confirmed archons we know (Barbatos, Morax, Decarabian) 2. You rescue her from drowning, off the shore of the hidden island. You also conveniently awaken from your seal around this time 3. Khaenriah is hinted to be a land of broken time (Dainsleif narration), and is hinted to be across the sea from Mondstadt (Kaeya story). 4. The eastern coast of Mondstadt is confirmed to have historically worshipped time, before it was eventually forgotten (Sacrificial Sword). We find that the hidden island, thousand winds temple, spiral abyss and eclipse tribe all reside on the eastern side. This hints at some relation between Khaenriah, the abyss, time, and the east of Mondstadt 5. Gods grow and weaken depending on their followers. If Paimon were to be the god of time who vanished, and her supposed homeland is now a chronological wreck, her power would be vastly diminished, resulting in the chibi floating fairy we have today. Her absence also explains why Khaenriah is in such a time crisis 6. I like Barbatos but I think he gets way too much credit in this theory, and would be pulling punches way above his weight class. It's also unknown whether he predates the time-worshipping phase of Mondstadt, or if he came after. 7. This is pure theory but the Unknown god displays spatial powers, nothing really related to time at all. It could be that she is the "space" counterpart to Paimon's "time", since space and time are inextricably linked in physics. The fact that the unknown god has a 4 leaf symbol doesn't connect her abilities to those of time

people who only rush through the game to level up be like: oMg tHIs gAmE haS nO stORy lmao jokes aside, love your videos, i love learning more and more about he lore and story so thank you!! looking forward for more!! amazing job!!

Also the fact that the island is not visible on the map could also mean it was hidden on purpose by the Anemo Archon to prevent any adventurers from going there.

I’m calling it. It’s all a time loop.

Here is a theory that I came up with about 2 weeks ago: "Paimon (god of time/unknown god) killed all gods and destroyed the world in pure rage (due to unknown reason). After calming down and realising the mistake she travels to the point in time when the "traveller" siblings visits the world of Genshin Impact. She "captures" your sibling and sends you to the location where her younger self later will wash ashore. After trying to leave her secluded home (Isle of time) Young Paimon almost drowned and was "coincidentally" saved by the protagonist. (We then keep babysitting and steering her into the righteous path). After Grown up Paimon (unknown god) sent the protagonist away, she showed the sibling what is to befall the world. Pure and utter destruction. She explains to the sibling that she had to act as an antagonist in front of the protagonist to make sure that (s)he seeks out all the gods (and most probably befriends them) together with young Paimon. The sibling is recruited by Grown up Paimon to create conflict in the world to make sure that the gods have no choice but to once again walk the earth. This to force them into a position where they eventually once again will start caring about the world and it's citizens in one way or another. All this to change the outcome of how Paimon in the previous cycle lived a miserable life where she climbed the ladder of godhood just to take revenge on the world and the gods who never came to her aid when she needed them. Side note. Seeing as this is a Chinese story this will probably follow the lines of many "Wuxia" novels where the original cause of anger for the "hero" (in this case Paimon) probably is along the lines of: Her family either being slaughtered in front of her or dying from sickness. This while begging the governing powers to save her family but to no avail. Thereafter being treated like trash and planning to seek revenge on the lord or god." Not too sure about all this now after 1.1 released tho.. But it was something I found interesting.

I find it weird that no other being in teyvat looks like paimon even tho she is from this world and knows a lot about it to be the travelers guide.

I just finished the inhabited island quest and this came out, as a matter of fact, got me full of attention to the notes and scribbles written.

ya'll remember when we first met paimon. paimon said we should go to monstat first because there is a reason. what was the reason tho?

Honkai impact 3rd players: God of time? psshhh thats the herrscher of void

BRUH I MADE BASICALLY THIS SAME THEORY THREE DAYS AGO. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE You brought up so much more evidence in a much more coherent and, honestly, superior, way though. I think this theory is very plausible, and with the extra evidence brought up here, I think it has much more substance than I ever thought possible. Edit: Okay the more I watch the more I realize how much I missed when I did my theory, and how wildly speculative I got when there was no need, lol. Theres a lot of history here that I missed in it's entirety. Great video!

Me watching and becoming more interested in Genshin Impact theories and stories rather than focusing on my studies xD

Man I dont know how the hell you spot these things, but it's amazing. Thank you for sharing your insight.

Also just notice how the sustainers eyes look like the gears of a clock.

When I first got this game I was not expecting the lore to be so intriguing

I have a question about the voice announcer for the Genshin Impact character intros, If you watch Diluc's video and go to the end, the announcer says this "But if the disaster from 5 centuries ago were to happen again, If he were to face the same evil that I once did, would he still hold his resolve?". So my question is who is this voice and how is he connected to the story? It's a question that has been bugging me all week, yet ofc I'll never know the answer

Whatever miHoYo have in mind regarding the lore of the game, if what they'll come up with isn't identical, or at least closely related to what you've proposed, their version will be borderline less attentive to details and less thought out in general, as it would result in them underutilizing the little things present in the world they have created. Such as those marks on the ruins or insignias on Hypostasis' spawns, as well as those little plot holes in the story regarding return of Venti 500 years ago, his relationship with Tsaritsa, and the whole story of that island. UNLESS there's little things which even you didn't manage to spot. That would be insane. That said, your research is incredible. Greatly enjoyed watching this.

So, are we just gonna skip over how in the beggining of the game Venti says “He knows all songs from the past, present, and future”? Seems to hint that he may be the god of Anemo and Time

Fun fact - in the Japanese version of the game the term used for allogenes is "genshin". That explains the name of the game, doesn't it?

Yes! More theories! brb gotta put my tinfoil hat.

Woah! I didn't even think about that!

Why does Genshin feels like a Horror Game now

with this Theory, it's actually make a connection betwen Paimon and the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles really a something. if we take closely to paimon design (something like , we can see something simmiliar with sustainer in her clock (more precisely in 8:38 in right bottom corner). with this i actually assume that Paimon is a part of Sustainer of Heavenly Principles that left by her to realese her from the seal. like we know all archon name are eventually a part of ars Goetia (pardon me if i'm wrong because i don't really know anythin about ars goetia), like Barbatos, Morax and even Paimon. Edit: forgot to mention that Paimon halo is so simmiliar with the ring in tree inside the domain sorry for bad English

Aether: Jesus, I just wanna find my sister.

Plot twist: The sustainer of heavenly principal was actually Paimon.

I am 500 years early

most of players just playing the game and not focusing on the story in the end they will suffer for upgrading the mc

Aether will become a God of Elements and will save the whole time/universe

This is now my head canon when I play the game 👌🏼

The story is soo interesting can’t wait for the new patch!

I wish there would be a book about the game and the manga. It’s so cool and full of details

So so What if!? Her fight with Venti didn't like seal her powers completely and only made a weaker or a lesser god. Making her into a smaller, floating, cute emergency food to accompany the traveler to lead him and his sister together and coax them to do her bidding, Then why separate them from the other? well so she can corrupt the other into going against the Gods letting the other twin stay on the war going on so that she will grow to hate the gods who separated her from her brother and then teleported the other to the timeline in the future to meet her dormant self drowning in a river. You know where I'm going! I totally believe that Paimon was the God of Time like she can manipulate time in the game make it go forward and stop it when she appears. Don't get me wrong I'm saying this now but if this really happens and Paimon is like the final boss I'll cry!! I love that emergency food..

Would be cool too if there was an anime series for Genshin Impact. Love this game a lot. Beautiful music, character design and amazing lore.

🌸❤️Your videos are like mini documentaries that you would find on National Geographic or the Science channel. They’re always so entertaining to watch and inspire such intrigue. I find myself waiting constantly to see just what you put out next, thank you for another great video❤️🌸

There is an elliptical pattern that appears on Paimon's clothes as well (front side). I wonder if she's related to the ancient civilization of Teyvat. Her scarf/cape with the cosmic design is quite curious. Its design resembles constellations. Makes me wonder if she's one of the gods disguised as a "guide" for the Traveler. Edit: Slight unrelated spoiler from another game: I'm reminded by the events of Bravely Default where the cute "mascot/guide" turns out to be something unexpected. I hope Paimon doesn't turn out to be an antagonist! Edit2: I just realized the symbol on Paimon's clothes is an upside-down Mora symbol.

That would make a lot of sense! I've also noticed that Kaeya, Dainself and the unknown god all have diamond shaped pupils so khaen'riah could be around there OR the unknown god decided to take refuge there since it's the place where the gods eyes do not extend. I also managed to pinpoint where celestia is (since you can see it (most clearly at night) from dawn winery and guyun stone forest), which shows that it's in the top right area of the map (out of bounds ofc) so everything being in the top right where the closest thing is a place least ruled would make sense. Also the runes appear on one of Mona's 'emotes' so she might be one of the few survivors of the old civilization?

Nice I love watching your theories it keeps me very interested.

I'm not good when it comes to Theory and stuff. but I only played this game coz the first time I saw this game I felt like I have found what I have been looking for, I was a Gamer that plays no game before playing genshin impact I always look for games that takes my interest. The current games that took my interest back then were none, No Game has ever made me play it as if its the real world. Not even Minecraft, but Genshin Impact is different its not those games that are kinda boring, its a game created from Experience. I rly love how this game turned out, I love the visuals, the scenery, the bg music. Its just its perfect, maybe too perfect. I wish I can see this game forever, but I'm afraid that we humans can only live for a limited amount of time.. Edit: thank you for reading this boring life of mine. Good Luck on the adventures in Teyvat, Traveller.

Ok ok, Zhongli has the same symbol as the “Archon of time.” Paimon also has a similar symbol but instead of four, she has three. I’m just pointing that out

I totally support that the unknown god can control time. I rewatched the opening mainly because I wanted to listen to their Japanese voices. And observed that after capturing the one of the twin, she was attacked and she totally reversed that attack, even the smoke all back to the traveler's hand to the state before the attack was released. I also like to think that the unknown god is the first heir that was deceived in the "Story Teaser: Gnostic Chorus". She was probably used as a host to summon a god by those who deceived her. And that Dainsleif was the second heir sent but was unable to fulfill the duty as his sister is now possessed by a god. Probably why he knows so much in the "Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail" and seems to challenge us(traveler) as we are following their footsteps. - traveler(us) in journey to save their twin - the twin is currently the Abyss Order prince/princess. possibly the next host for the unknown god. Anyway goodluck to us travelers! Really looking forward to the official story. And of course these theories, they are so fun to watch/read 🤩

Yo since the travelers are from an entire different world, they aren't affected by the time of the tevyat world. What if the world is just a continuous time loop and the travelers are the ones to stop it. They might have been affected by the time loop already hence the 500 year theory. I'm throwing this out there

I agree with the unknown god being the god of time and was also wondering, while reading the notebook, what the connection with Barbados is, but Barbados fighting anything bigger than a Hilichurl is laughable. Need I remind you that he couldn't even control the eye of the storm you have to destroy with him commenting that the abyssal order isn't the only thing that doesn't like him there (and that is even before the Signora incident). The most confusing thing about the main character pair is what they are, because they seem like Planeswalkers in MTG, but could also be higher gods (the entry fight would suggest that, free flying massively powerful and just slain by something they don't understand), but that would also make the Sustainer insane in terms of power scales. The god of Teyvat seem pretty weak in comparison, considering we know that they are essentially evolved elemental slimes. :P

Good to know that I'm not the only one who thought of this theory.. well, in the part of the sustainer=God of time atleast. XD

I'm glad that more people are into the lore. What I'm now waiting for is more lore about the Cryo goddess, Tsaritsa. She is now collecting Gnosis from other Archons, and if the Sustainer is in Celestia - then the Tsaritsa will freeze all of the heavens.

I Think This Time God/Goddess Could Be Paimon , That Could Explain Why Paimon Is Able To Control Time And Space

now that I think about it, the sibling of the traveler became the prince/princess of abyss order

This Unknown God being sealed away makes sense。I think that’s why Lumine decided to destroy Mondstadt because the anemo archon had sealed the power of the Unknown God somewhere in Teyvat。I also think the Unknown God cast a spell on those twins to prevent them from leaving，perhaps she foresaw the future that this twins will help her achieve her true goal？I feel like she’s not as evil as the scenes portray her to be，because if she was she could have just killed Lumine and Aether during their battle。

your theory videos are my favorite, very well-made!

This theory kind of falls apart because: People worshipped the god of time even before Venti was an archon. Read the lore of the weapon "Sacrificial Fragments": it says that when Decarabian was still archon, a group of people ran away to the eastern cliff of Mondstadt, praying for divine help. The other sacrificial items all say that the ancestors worshipped both wind and time on the eastern cliffs. This pretty much confirms that time was worshipped before Venti was relevant. That would in turn mean that Venti could not be singing about the Sustainer, because the sustainer could not be intimately involved with a wind spirit during that time. Also, the sustainer shows no time related powers: the max she shows is "sealing" the traveler, which hasn't been implied to be time travel in any way (so far, at least) Also, we're assuming the sustainer of heavenly principles fell to the 7 archons when the 7 didn't even come together to fight the abyss order. It appears that the sustainer is on a completely different power level to the archons we know

You can clip your Camera through the wall where the chest is - and there are definetely boxes down there. The place surely IS MORE RELEVANT THAN IT SEEMS

These are so good. Better than TV and Movies. Thanks for sharing!

The only way for Ather and Lumine to interact with the same people and places they cant be displaced by any amount of time we are dealing with parallel universes. Something Mihoyo loved to do in Honkai Impact, then you got the dude at the end of the trailer for the different regions talking about saving "her" and challenging whoever he was talking to to "save her first" looking a lot like an older Ather.

dude, your channel is so underrated

u earn a new subscriber on how your previous video 6 months ago is literally spot on with the new 1.4 patch main storyline quest. very good theory and very well researched. thank you for this. so desperate to wait for a new storyline added by mihoyo

Sustainer : Paimon God of Time : with Lumine Lumine: switched placed with the sustainer Me: after watching this making my own story.

This is an older video so my comment probably won't be seen by anybody but I noticed something interesting in the opening scene. When the Sustainer of Heavenly principles shows up, she appears in a flash of red and black energy in a three star formation which bear a very close resemblance to a black hole. The background behind it warps and twists with it, which is how black holes are commonly thought to appear because of their massive concentration of energy, and the black void in the middle surrounded by an eerie red fire-like glow. It also bears a heavy resemblance to the actual real photos taken of a black hole in mid 2019. Some people think black holes or worm holes may be a form of time travel or a means of getting from one place to another very quickly, so if she were a god of time, this detail would make a lot of sense.

The god of time maybe is the Aether, im have two reasons to think that: 1. Because of the mangá of the genshin impact, in the last scene of the prologue, venti talks with Aether, these two characters have one relationship of the 500 years. Second reason 2. In the end of history game, the main character finaly get the tear of destiny to remake the everything. (Sorry my english is bad, maybe im have one or two mistake in my text.)

I just absolutely love this channel. I can't even imagine how much work would have been spent on this I will definitely be waiting Patiently for ur next videos

These theories are amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was amazing! This story keeps getting deeper and deeper I love it! But dude you forgot to mentioned that our own favorite emergency food supply also has the symbol of the sustainer. It make sense if the Sustainer took the form of Paimon when Barbatos sealed her as a way to continue her plan. Befriended Aether in order for him to release her. But I think this also might take a spin as she'll learn that not all humans are bad? Venti does mentions he dislikes Paimon almost as if she's giving him weird vibes.

Great research as usual! Keep up the great work!

Wow I learned so much today genshin impact is so deep and dark I had no idea every character is god simply greed of power as humans always have. And archons as demons wow never thought of it

Hey man, someone here posted a really long comment of a translated Chinese theory and I think it has some interesting ideas based on lore books and item descriptions/the manga and correlations with Honkai Impact as well. A video of your thoughts on it perhaps?

i have a theory that Paimon or a future character (who we’ll get attached to) might sacrifice their life for something big, but it’s a bit confusing to explain to i won’t :D

I just realised- The anemo gods sign is like the Mitsubishi sign

I enjoy your storytelling so much! Thanks for this channel, can’t wait for the next chapter!

Amazing research! I love these kinds of videos!

I'm pretty sure that the sustainer existed during the archon war and was not sealed away since it's said in the guili assembly quest that Guizhong was slain by something that even the Guizhong and Morax could not withstand combined, and it's highly likely that something is the sustainer considering she is more powerful than any other god. But I do agree that she can manipulate time, there's also a weird table in Liyue with 3 chairs marked with the names Morax, Guizhong, and sustainer. Leading me to believe there was some kind of alliance between the three gods and the sustainer eventually betraying the both of them and murdering Guizhong and manipulating Morax in some way to think as if her betrayal never happened. (Ofc, this theory is only going of that table and Morax's close relationship with Guizhong so there's more chances of it being wrong than right.)

Theory is Dainsleif is the God of time and the Unknown god is actually a god that hates humans for the humans lack of acknowledgements in the archons of today (the 2 we know. Humans are losing faith in Barbatos existing, and Liyue caring more about Mora than Morax)

I'm gonna say the Sustainer was one of the Archons defeated by the Seven in the Archon War, and probably got released when the twins wandered in between Teyvat and Celestia to go to "the next world" as they say. And, to be honest, I think the Cryo Archon is either trying to get all of the gnoses to oppose the Sustainer, or is getting them to try and control it. I think it's probably the former, as I do think she also had something to do with the rise of the second twin as the leader of the Order of Chaos

Can't wait for more story in patch 1.1. I really appreciate your work, stuff like this are hard to come by.

Other people reading the thumbnail: God of time theory Me: God of theory time?

i know it sounds out of place but maybe paimon is the creator of teyvat, considering she knows almost everything around teyvat and she can sometimes be suspicious when you read the mc's voice records,, what if the meeting between paimon and aether is not a coincidence and all been planned by paimon ,,, paimon is currently searching for the right one to save teyvat and turn it like the way before where there are no archons and just paimon,, coz aether the traveler is currently collecting all the elements and he is guided by paimon who is just someone he found at the shore... i mean how can paimon possibly know all of that....

Theory: the past anemo archon was consumed by rage (or whatever was driving them insane) and destroyed all other realms. Venti rose up because the anemo archon powers left the past archon when they went mad, and became the new anemo archon. The past archon developed a new “ability”, time. Maybe they went crazy over an obsession with something that happened in the past. Now they are the god of time. Venti feels sympathy for them and asks the people to remember the past god. Now the former anemo archon, and the now god of time, is trying to change past events so that whatever happened in their past doesn’t come true. Perhaps whatever happened in the former anemo archons past had something to do with travelers, which explainers her hate for them

This guy may be one of the smartest guys I’ve ever seen, also I’m happy I watched this because it connects to come of my theories aswell.

If you think about it it maybe we are well aether are in a time paradox

This video just showed up in my front page, need to watch your old videoos! awesome video man!

Man, this story has so much potential. Just like the early Honkai days...

You really called some of these reveals like 5 months in advance. My mind is blown, great job!!

It would be amazing if one would theorize the full extent of Lumine and Aether's powers

I'm so glad I'm not the only person constructing theories out here. Idk how many of them hold any weight or how much, but it's nice to hear other people's thoughts on the lore, there's so much of it! Everything from the main plot to the most common item seems to carry secrets with it! I can't wait to see what comes next!

17:41 the star on the chest is similar to the other one

I have a few things to say, I know that everyone thinks paimon IS gonna be the god of time/Sustainer of heavenly principles BUT I don't think that would be the case otherwise venti surely would have noticed something was up, I think she is something created by the sustainer or perhaps maybe even a younger version of the sustainer, that the one we met, has summoned to keep an eye on us, which is why a) no one knows what paimon is, and b) why venti doesn't instantly know something is up. now I've just finished dragonspine, and during one of the quests you do, there are boxes you get, scribes box, princess box, and priest box, all of which tell a different aspect of what happened in dragon spine and why it's become a desolate mountain, the priests box talks about how this person had hope for the future generations of dragonspine but how he now doesn't think that is going to happen they even say ". Their voices won't be carried by the wind anymore. My expectations towards them, as well as the faith they have in me, will all fall through." and since there is in fact a anemo archon statue it's safe to say that people there lost faith in their archon/have likely felt betrayed by them and may blame them for the demise of their city, the priest also talks about how he will climb to the peak one last time for guidance, he also mentions his daughter is painting 3 paintings and how two of them are finished and how he hopes the third one will be a better picture. which leads us to the Princess Box, this is the person painting, they say that they can't finish the 3rd painting, they talk about long it's been since they have seen blue sky and green grass, and how they don't know what colours they would use to paint them, they don't know how to paint the clearing snow and frost that their father (the priest) longs for, then she says something, odd, about how when 'he' returns things will be back to normal but that she can't take it anymore, she asks her father to forgive her, then she says "Imunlaukr, I wish I could see you again..." I wonder if this person is who they meant when they said "when he returns" because as we know their father is only further up the mountain and nothing seems like it's going to change anytime soon, so what does her sentiment mean. The Scribes box, this person is far more angry than the princess and priest were, they talk about how they want the frost and snow to turn into flame and burn until there is no living soul left in the world, saying after "I yearn for us to turn to dust carried by the wind so that we can find that outsider who abandoned the princess." could this outsider be Imunlaukr? and who is this outsider to begin with and why did he leave seemingly to never return? this box also mentions a black dragon from the dreams of the princess and how he wishes it would "engulf the land in a cloud of scarlet poison.", possibly meaning the dragon that later turned the mountain into Dragonspine. He then says that he is the last one and that there is no longer any need for him to keep watch, but provides no more detail as to what that truly means, the last thing written in the scribes box is "I've heard of people who are building a new nation without gods. Perhaps they'll have the power to stand against this world." these boxes describe the dying days of Dragonspine, but what caused the mountain to become cold and frozen over? well this answer possibly comes in the form of the main quest you do in dragon spine, as well as one of the other side quests, in the chamber you unlock with the 3 boxes there is a stone tablet that is one of 8 in total, these tablets light up some runes that open the door to another room, in both of these rooms, there are alters with the 4 sided symbol in them, but in the second room that you find after the box room, there is also a painting on the walls, perhaps the paintings of the princess, but these paintings depict dragonspine before it ever became cold and frozen, it shows people and the mountain, with something atop it, floating in the air, what is it? well, it shows the skyfrost nail, also the subject of the main quest. after defrosting a bunch of special ice crystals, you gain passage to the very top of the mountain, where there is the Skyfrost Nail, frozen and stuck to the top of the mountain, you once again have to defrost it, as you defrost it, parts of the pillar start to float again, and once completely defrosted, the pillar starts to float above dragonspine once more, once you climb to the very top of it and stand on it, the camera pans over at such an angle where you are directly looking over at the floating island in the sky, the island that most people believe to be Celestia, the pillar itself, baring resemblance to the bases of the archon statues, you can also find pillars that look similar to it on the loading screen of the game and in the background of the opening scene of the game in which we meet the Sustainer. After panning to look at celestia, Paimon wonders if maybe this strange pillar could have fallen from the sky, once the pillar has been defrosted, there is actually a domain that was hidden by ice. so it's reasonable to conclude that the pillar has been there for a long long time, and that it was once likely a beloved icon of the mountain and it's people. It's also likely part of the reason for it's demise or perhaps it's fall was a sign of it's demise rather than the reason for it. Here's my personal take on it, the pillar comes from Celestia, and it used to be bigger than what we see, it might have even had an archons statue atop it, but something happened and the pillar fell becoming stuck in the mountain and possibly bringing the cold and ice with it, as well as the demise of the city that once thrived there. Then after at some point, the dragon that gives the mountain it's name sake crashed into the mountain as it was dying, thus becoming part of it over time, I think it was likely the dragon the scribe wrote about too since that's also where all the crimson crystals come from as well as the cavern in which the dragons heart still resides, which are what travellers must use to defrost the ice crystals that eventually free the pillar once more. the scribes box also mentions that other people are creating a land without gods. does that mean a nation where they don't worship or work with an archon, or do they mean a place beyond the gods reach entirely? is it possible for that place to be khaenri'ah? it's the final stage of the game if you want to take the teyvat trailer at face value, but in the trailer it is also the only chapter, to not have a number, in fact the number is actively scribbled out, it also appears to be the place that Dainsleif resides, and he is, odd, to say the least of him. Could Dainsleif also perhaps be the outsider mentioned in the Scribes and Princess's box on dragon spine? But also if the alters have something to do with the sustainer, then why was there two hidden in chambers in dragonspine? what was their purpose? Did venti have anything to do with the Pillar coming down from Celestia? did he have anything to do with the fall of it? what really happened to dragonspine, were they apart of the supposed arrogation that the sustainer talks about? There's so much to this world and story already and I'm so excited to find out about the rest of it!! also sorry for just dumping this in the comments. I also might be dead wrong about all of this who knows!
