@@user-iz5em5rw6z Venti restarted the timeline. Hence his hello line at the end, "ah traveller, *we meet again*! what? you dont remember me?" (It is his actual voiceline in game) Also based on the lore of his connection with the God of Time. It is believed that he also possess powers related to time because of the lore that Venti is "one of the thousand winds" and Istaroth is the "Thousand Winds". that, and he claimed to know songs whether they are from the future or from the past + also once brought the winds of the past to the present.
The queen can steal any move besides the knight's, and I see the traveler as the knight, his move being collecting the gnoses. So Venti is using the traveller to do that for him.
@@memphismagpie7514 Giving into the theory that he practically gave his Gnosis away means he's somehow allied with the Tsaritsa or supports her plan against Celestia, and he's a very important tool on that plan
@@Quinton_ovo_nope there 8 chess piece and 7 archon Venti as a queen And the other split between other archon but not the king piece Rumors said the king piece belong to istaroth god of time ( Co Owner of Mondstadt with venti ) and the identity higly speculated is Paimon
I just realized she isn't stopping the things from happening but adding more like with Furina, the scene we see of her standing before the tidal wave, that's moments after the actual prophecy as thats the end of the 4.2 archon quest meaning she reinacted the prophecy, aaahhhhh!!!
since venti knows everything the wind does(i assume he knows the future aswell because he says he knows songs from past and future and he showed people in teyvat things that happened in the past also 'songs' could be both literal and a metephore for his power since we know venti likes talking in riddles and poems) it would be cool if he could somehow manipulate that power into something akin to time travel, given he was probably made by the goddess of time
For those who don’t know the lore: Barbatos and Istaroth were once worshipped in Mondstadt together. However after the death of Istaroth, everyone slowly forgot about her and assumed Venti to be the sole God in the nation. However, traces of Istaroth can still be found in Mond’s culture, in sayings like “seeds of stories brought by the winds of time,” and Istaroth’s abandoned island with the clock on it. It’s a theory that Barbatos is in some way related to Istaroth, because if she is the “time” in the “winds of time,” then Barbatos, as a wind spirit, must have somehow originated from her.
Istaroth didn't die, she just disappeared. Our latest records of her is during the cataclysm where she helped Makoto send her consciousness into the future
It's not mentioned anywhere that Istaroth died, so I doubt that's the case. Barbatos SHOULD be related to her, seeing as though he is technically a thousandth of her (1/1000 of the thousand winds).
We are definitely getting this scene in a couple of years. Venti has always been the most quiet and suspicious archon due to his carefree and nonchalant attitude.
@@lucidifying Actual Reminder that i'ts literally commissioned by Hoyo themselves ; the lore in it everything is demanded by them and only published if approved ;the fandom has been familiar with venti with his bard facade for years now ; since the literal publication of the manga in 2018 2 whole years before the game release adding to it the fact that the first character promoted being venti ; his literal region being the prologue and it's story far from finished ; but that's about it , "venti" is a facade made up ; he's the character that had the most build up and we know nothing about him ; it makes perfect sence that their testing the waters ; his ties to time are no anomaly to lore readers but for non lore readers perhaps an animation is the way to go to actually search about his secrets ; and venti secrets lie much more than what we jast saw so no it isn't the whole damn story

How each nation falls Sumeru: Lumine haa it easy destroying Sumeru. The academia's poor managing of the entire nation made the people and creatures weak. The academia wouldn't be able to react nor even take the abyss threat seriously till it is too late. As Nahida is trapped in the Acadmia all she can so is beg and plead Lumine spare her people. There she dies and rots Fontaine: Lumine simply lets the prophey goes as it should only Lumine makes sure Furina doesnt get the trail she wants forcing her to watch all her people desolve and die followed by her also desolves as she too dies. Neuvillette and Focolar would edvenully fall to Lumine as she can then send in her abyssal army towards them both to finish them off. Inazuma: With the Raiden Shogun closing the nation and taking people's vision Lumine would surround each island and send in a horde of abyssal creatures taking each island out one by one. The Raiden Shogun puppet fights as hard as she can but ei will become empty realsing there is no point to keep fighting with everyone dead. Ei would commit seppuku to end this enteral darkness Liyue: Her hardest challange. Lumine would take things slow. The less occupied areas and village are taken down first. The other nations destroyed preventing trade or even escape. Lumine surrounds every bit of resistance and destroys them and soon with enough time and prep she goes after the city and edventually the adeptis mountains while Zhongli defends his people to the last only to be engulfed by abyssal power Mondstadt: Take the surrounding area, Poison the water around the nation, stimply let them starve via siege after all Lumine has all the time she needs. Any counter attack by Jean or Venti would be useless agasint a more numeral and technologically more advance numeruious enemy. With the Nation unable to do anything Lumine can at any time launch her attack and kidnap Venti Natlan: Constant warfare may harden a country and it's people but the abyss keeps comming over and over for they technically dont need to worry about dying. Like ei the Pyro archon and her people are destroyed by huge hordes of abyss warriors. The beloved animals of Natlan are infected and turn against the tribes. Snezhnaya: Idk The 2nd Khaenrian empire rises. All that is left is Venti in a cage and the heavens themselves
Snezhnaya: I feel like Tsaritsa would have her strongest Harbingers + Pierro (since he's a Khaenri'ahn mage) help her fight or she'd use the gnoses she collected (Geo, Electro? Dendro and her own Gnosis but eventually the Harbingers died and her people tried starting a rebellion against the Tsaritsa (considering that Dain mentioned she had no love left for her people, nor did they) so maybe her people decide to help the abyss in defeating Tsaritsa and/or she froze to death
The one confuses me that venti knows the traveler after resetting but it doesnt seem they have met could it be venti saw the traveler's coffin or seen many alternate timelines after resetting its just confusing where the traveler died at first where he was awoken or in each nation
I like how Raiden was the one who wasn't actually killed by Lumine, only saw that there was no reasons to keep fighting and gave up. I think it matches her characther pretty well, like- she's the god of Eternity, I can imagine her fighting against Lumine for centuries, but she just didn't had nothing to fight for anymore.
@@cosmiceclipse there was a theory that Travellers sister came before traveller, this video suggests that everything happened in the timeline when her sister came and did the chaos. and after venti reversed the time, it restarted the timeline and there traveller came in. so venti himself restarted the game, he knows the traveller well from the beginning. it seems what we are playing is the timeline where his sister already has reincarnated and he is a new boy to the world and this explains why Akasha has knowledge about his sister in this timeline
@@Juzou_Suzuya_Sanny isn't Venti a part of Istaroth, or at least was born from her (she was call godess of thousand winds if I remember and Venti is "a wind" from it, I might be wrong but that was what I remember from the lore and will wait a comment to correct me)
My 5 genshin nerd friends study dis so this is what we found The child was likely from khaenriah 0:57 Likely after Khaenriah's destruction We dont know much about the Friend/ at 0:57 3rd anniversary animation we saw a a diffrent end. Probably Venti's power. At 1:45 there is a balemoon likely The 3 twins who control the moon the sun and the sky 2:00 This Is How The Abyss Order Manifested Likely. So line we are rules hinting At the abyss order wanting to conquer celestia and the gods so at 2:03 thats the very same BP Animation Hinting at Monstadt as we saw it in the first meeting venti animation him singing about a bird hm. Strange 2:24 it might had been a dream fighting the Unknown Goddess With lumine Venti might had created a wormhole or a portal to likely make aether wake up Paimon might be a god [No Confirmation yet] Kingdom of light referring to Khaenriah . The line One of the heirs set off to search for the pearl [Aether is the pearl most likely] we dont know yet What Is the line *she became the queen* [Flower of life is nahida or rukkhadevata] The Line (Break The hourglass Is The unknown godess dying) likely Archons are puppets At the line 3:08 Venti as the queen controlling the puppets 3:26 So the lines at 3:38 Evil. Dainsleaf fighting the minions Of Luminel/Burial. Hidden lines they bought died like The king of khaenriah Wisdom the god of Wisdom Rukkhadevata Or incarnation Nahida failed to give any orders plans for the fight. so failed/slumber the tree of life Corrupted and Nahida And a deep slumber This Might Be In THE CURRENT TIMELINE because Furina Is not EGERIA Venti Likely Had Reversed to aether and lumine travelling Justice Furina failed At focalors mission/broken furina became an oceanid or the great wave hitted Killing everyone Ever if you match this as Forever or eternal It makes sense but ever So. It did not last forever as eternal as it seems baal failed dying for inazuma/fallen Luminel Corruption Gotten her no Inazuma Palace Collapsing Likely CONTRACT zhongli Made. Contract for peace and eternal slumber But Luminel Granted his wish Making him stone and as the dragon on chenyu vale The most important lines FREEDOM: Venti wanted too much He desired And he aftermath is /Karma monstadt Being in an everlasting barrier WE ARE GOOD AT LIPREADING THE Line Luminel Said Was IS - TA - ROTH by the move of the lip It Says Istaroth Or astaroth Istaroth is Most LIKELY THE WORD Joy luminel Conquering the gods Making abyss order laughing/Wrath The Queen Piece Moves Plays is role Killing The evil corroded this chess match Istaroth In a very deep slumber with Luminel keeping it from breaking The last 2 lines might be important Fever: Referring to a dream Or a sickness Likely Corruption Into a eternal Slumber/Folie Is A term emotion Or thought THIS IS A DREAM It took us 2 days please appreciate us😮
Damn, your 5 friends not so genshin nerds. 0:57 Judging by the child's eyes and the fact that she was turning into a Hilichurl, she is not from Khaenri'ah, she is one of those who came to Khaenri'ah from the surface. 1:45 The three moon sisters are not twins, and they do not control the sun or the sky, at least there is no information about this. 2:00 No, this is just a reference to that story of the Venti, we already know how the Abyss Order manifested from Caribert quest. 2:24 This is a reference to the text at the beginning of the animation, which says that this is just a possibility of what could have happened if Lumine had been corrupted by the Abyss, and Aether had never woken up. 2:52 All these lines about flowers, a feather, a goblet and a hourglass refer to the four Shades, as well as to the artifacts that you use in game. The flower is the Shade of life, the one who created all life on the planet and who created the first hydro archon. The feather is the Shade of death (Ronova), the one who gave Natlan the power to fight the Abyss. The goblet is a Shade of Space, we don't know anything about them, they may be an Unknown God. The hourglass is a Shade of time (Istaroth), she has appeared in many places and done many things in the past, and Venti also appeared from her created thousand winds. There is also a crown, it's Heavenly Principles, the creator of the four shades and the usurper who took the homeplanet from the dragons. 3:35 Evil. Dainsleif fights five Sinners, and dies in this battle because it's a different timeline.

0:01 IS THIS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THEM OMG??? Barbatos : There are countless possibilities in this world, is this one of those you spoke of? Istaroth : The branches of fate are infinite; if the pure flower gets tainted, and the other twin falls into slumber...
@@havira1392 Is that so? ( **In Zhongli's voice** ) Thanks for telling I didn't know, just assumed it was Chinese cause of the voices. (The voices are in Chinese right? Sorry if I got them wrong)
@@WakingAPGamer its just funny to me reading this bc those doesnt even look remotely close to chinese characters..... or even japanese or korean characters😭😭 the voices are indeed in chinese though
Man I love this, it's so good. Made me tense up and stuff like I was watching something official, amazing work really. This video really captures Genshin's essence well and the use of multiple styles they typically have is really cool!
Honestly can't wait for the moment genshin turns out something like this animation. After all*, it's part of the honkaiverse, and it's about time it starts showing it's true honkai colors. With the 4+ year buildup it's getting, when it happens it's gonna be so HYPE
Venti and zhongli are not only the oldest archons but also the ones with the most mystery surrounding them especially venti. Cant wait for the story to progress further as we reach the final nation.
I was emotional seeing the archons die. Nahida getting consumed by the abyss along with the Irminsul tree. Fontaine got flooded and Neuvillette wasn't able to save everyone including Furina who got dissolve. Ei fought to her last stand until she meets her end. Zhongli reverts back into his prime adepti form to stop the calamity but ended up turned to corrupted/consumed. Venti, the first Archon that has many secrets and connections goes full higher being reversing back time to restart everything that happened. Now that I think about, maybe you're on to something, what if Venti is actually Istaroth or has a portion of her power and reversed back time, he does have a deleted voice line to the Traveler he met them before
To be Honest, Furina is never will dead by flooded because, until her divinity (Focalors Dead) she will never be dead... But yah, I never want think about Focalors already dead first before she can return Hydro Archon Power to Neuvilette, because if that true, fountain in this scane is became real one 😢
Venti isn't istaroth, but he's kind of part of Istaroth due being born from istaroth's power. i have a feeling Istaroth did reverse the time and Venti, being part of the God, still has his memories intact. Hence why he knows the song in past and future
@@rafidarmawan1679 I can really only see two possibilities on this what if scenario to happen, either Neuvillette was defeated by the abyss order here, or he wasn't persuaded/convinced enough by furina/focalors
Ei still could fight another 500 years straight. I think at that point tho, where Lumine massacred all of Inazuma, Ei just ran out of people to protect so she and gave up.
Again I applaud your amazing work. Lumine’s design as the Abyssal princess is (chefs kiss) beautiful. The whole confrontation with Venti gave me chills. I like the idea of Venti being entrusted with Istaroth’s power since they were once friends. Hopefully the main canon picks up on this.
@@arcy4295 This is a fanmade video, tho the Venti dialogue at the very end is official and in the game, there are a lot of hints pointing to Barbatos being somewhat related to Istaroth and having some power over time
@@arcy4295 hellooo this is a fanmade video however there are countless theories regarding Venti's real identity being Istaroth, and Hamelin's Genshin content are always accurate to the lore 👀🙏
venti in THIS PART 4:57 oh my god finally people are talking THAT much about the best genshin impact character and the most exploitable character if we talk about lore or some secrets IN the game, VENTI DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO MAKE AN APPEREANCE TO CARRY THE PLOT
Bro the last clip of venti is so DAMN COOL I love him sm 100% the most powerful archon in my heart I hope I get to see more sick animations of venti like thisb
4:56 If you pause, there seem to be some glitches but I saw some letters and if we piece some of them together it resembles the name istaroth so Venti, God of time and freedom?! Maybe after istaroth disappeared she left some of her powers in venti or they could perhaps have merged?! It could also be Istaroth taking control of vent is body tho
@@June-yq7jy i see, i watched the video and understood it though haven't done venti quest. I'm assuming this is from a lumine main perspective? Did some research and found out about the four shining shades. Istaroah is said to be God of time and thousand wind and venti is said to come from string of thousand wind, maybe he's her child or part of her? Interesting though. Also I keep mistaking lumine as fischel here 😂 eerly similiar
Also I think venti is in a boy's body right? Forgot about it. Finished sumeru archon quest yesterday and I wonder if it's similar to greater and lesser lord's relationship. How venti is just a part of istaroah
This is why Venti still hasnt gotten a 2nd story quest. The amount of LORE this man has locked away will be insane. We all know it!! I look forward to the day all his secrets will spill out. BUT HOLY FRICK THAT SCENE AT THE END WITH HIM!!!! YA GUYS COOKED! THIS WAS SO COOL!!
I found it absolutely sensational and shocking how each archon is killed using their weakness/counter against them: Nahida, with the concept of life and plants, literally ROT along with the Irminsul tree after begging for mercy for her people, Furina is overwhelmed and DROWNS in the water along with her city by a gigantic wave, which after flooding, she turns into foam, based on how mermaids do once they touch land, they turn into foam if they return to the sea, Ei's death is simply BRUTAL, directing an entire army of monsters from the abyss against her, and tanking it while her people perish, in the end, she is left ALONE with all the corpses of her people and the remains of the army of the abyss and faced with the idea of being alone for ALL eternity SHE TAKES HER LIFE, Zhongli is more subtle, since I can see that despite Xiao and Xianyun trying to protect him, he chooses acceptance and resignation, as if his death was AGREED, to finally remain PETRIFIED, finally our angel boy, representative of freedom whose fall shows him CAGED, and without a glimpse of this freedom... all in all: overwhelming... I would have loved to see Mavuika and the Tsarina in this video, I think it would have been artistically great, I would have liked to see how their fall is, I am genuinely curious about this... artistically speaking, this video is poetry...
@@SolitarySoliloquy 4:23 "Your Highness, of the 7 archons 6 have fallen" from which I can interpret that Ei is no longer alive, none of them. Analyzing the sequence where Ei can be seen observing the sky while the remains of the army of the abyss and the corpses of her people are shown, if it is said that "6 of them have fallen" I interpret that Ei managed to destroy the army, but faced with the idea of spending eternity alone, it was she herself who took her own life, that is the way in which the princess of the abyss managed to destroy her. This, together with a quote from Yae Miko during the Inazuma story in which she says: "Eternity is too cruel for you Ei" (I don't remember the exact quote) leads me to think that that was her outcome but of course... I'm just a fan, I can only interpret, only the creator of the video knows this 100%
My highlights -Lumine having the opposite color scheme (surprised that her hair wasn't violet), - The artifacts -The archons suffering 😢 -Venti is... Istaroth? But his eyes were almost similar to Asmoday (The unknown god) -THE TIME LOOP IMPLICATION (Venti's in game voiceline) -THE CLOCK BEHIND VENTI GOING BACKWARDS THIS IS A FUCKING LORE BOMB IF THESE ARE CANON EVEN IF THESE THEORIES WERE IN MY HEAD FOR LIKE 4 YEARS
It's probably canon, but it's not what will happen later part in the story. Rather it is shown to be timeline before we currently in, and barbatos rewind time and met us again at beginning of the story.
Canonly venti is related to istaroth, seeing as he is technically a thousandth of her (1/1000 of the thousand winds) and was worshipped alongside her for a while. This could end up as being canon, but the video is fan-made, and so doesn't give us any real information.
so this is an alternate timeline where lumine succeeded in carrying out her plan and then venti restarted time. i don't know what happened to aether but one thing for sure he couldn't stop lumine and ended up in a long sleep, and i'm sure aether's journey in this timeline is not too different from the original story in the game even though he failed in the end. this concept gives me goosebumps, thank you for your hard work. Lumine, the herrscher of Abyss
I think venti's last line is implied that the event in this video has already happened and when he first met us in game, he already restarted time. Also the last line that he said in this video is already in-game, its in his hello voiceline.
@@tvemilosti2288well, if that's the case i once theorized that maybe aether had been to teyvat with lumine. they met unknown god and got separated. lumine was in the past 500 years before khaenri'ah was destroyed, and aether went to the future 500 years later with vague memories. but venti becoming istaroth was really the peak story
There have been world resets (samsaras) so this could have happened too and venti reseted everything. But probably no one except him, and the twin knows that

"Fracture the plume Tear the flower of life Break Hourglass Sands of time overflow goblet .... We'll Seize the crown" Nah they even made the artifacts part of the song... this is next level masterpiece
That was a really interesting take on why venti knows us, yet the traveler doesn't remember him, i can't wait to see what mihoyo has written, but i love what you've created!!!
Dude, when I saw this I was like ''Oh normal, an abyss with victories'' but I must admit, what shocked me the most about the animation, was not seeing the archons being defeated and having atrocious endings. But, how Zhongli was also defeated, since both in the story and in the fandom, he is considered a figure of high power and esteem. And seeing him in that state was like ''Oh god...'' The truth is, if Genshin focused more on a dark side and not so ''romanticized'', as it is currently for young audiences, it would be a story with much more potential than it has now.
Yeah, he's being corrupted isn't that far catched. He is indeed a powerful figure, but corruption is catching up on him. I think someone did mention the reason why he is retired is because he's aware of it.
He broke a contract... That's why he becomes petrified... Maybe because he revealed to Lumine who Venti (prodigious son of the goddess of wind and time) really was. Barbatos and Zhongli are the oldest archons... Venti has as Gnosis the queen (most important piece in a chessboard) even if Venti says he is the weakest of the archons it's weird.. Knowing that Zhongli has like Gnosis the second strongest piece on the chessboard: the rook) and that on the other hand he is considered one of the strongest archons. At the beginning of our Teyvat adventure, Venti recognizes us... But we don't... Also at the end of the archon quest Venti tells us that he will guide us on our journey
We meet in Liyue Xiao (who saves us ..🎉) in Inazuma Kazuha who also saves us ... Venti gives a divine eye to Scara who also saves us from danger ... Lynet and Lynette investigate with us and save us from the tragedy of Fontaine.. I expect a lot from Chasca on Natlan 👍 At the bottom of Venti's statue, you see written in the language of Teyvat "entrance to Celestia" Kaenriah means "Traitor to the Wind" Venti has already had to go back in time (several times) since he had to sleep for several centuries (it is said during the quest) maybe because the end of Teyvat... Is always horrible..
Venti knows a lot of songs that have disappeared from the past... And we can say that maybe that's why he drinks so much... Just to forget the past that only he knows..
THIS IS the ending, we all shouted for Its so detailed, thoghtfull and I cant even find the best word to describe this Thankk you for allowing us to see this masterpiece
My understanding is that it is an alternate reality when the MC is not there to save Teyvat: 1. Sumeru's will be plagued by forbidden knowledge and the world tree will be further poisoned 2. Fontaine will drown as per prophecy and everyone will dissolve 3. The contaminated irminsul will continue to send memories of abyss monster to attack Inazuma until no one is alive 4. I don't know about the symbolism in Liyue but seems like the Geo Archon has to forever protect Liyue against impending danger 5. The dragon will continue to attack Mondstadt and even the Anemo Archon fail to stop Dvalin
@@Zohrah1022thats is the timeline at first, we see the chat between barbatos and istaroth. there are countless possibility and in this timeline the pure flower get tainted (pure flower here is inteyvat flower that is lumine's symbol) and the other twin (aether) falls into slumber (basically its mean he didnt wake up 500 year later and meet paimon)
I personally believe in the theory that Venti is related to the Goddess of Time, as her son, because he's often referred to as the Prodigal son, born from the branches of time, etc. I've always thought that if he is her son, perhaps Istaroth restarted time herself, and Venti still remembers. Or Venti, possibly being her son, has some sort of power over time and does so himself. But I still love this because I adore Venti, and he is my favorite
He can actually manipulate time to some extent. In one event, when he returned memories of the past to some characters, he could be found in Mondstadt and after talking to him he said: "To bring back the winds of the past, I had to take a deep breath". And yes, the dialogue at the beginning is a dialogue between Venti and Istaroth
@zhenakolombini Yeah, many people seem to see it as Venti being Istaroth in this video, and maybe that's the theory the video is running with, but I truly believe Venti is Istaroth's son. It doesn't surprise me at all if Venti has some connection to time, being that he was a wisp of the Thousand Winds and Istaroth is the Goddess of Time and the Thousand Winds. I never played through that event because I very unfortunately, wasn't around then. But I have seen clips of what you're talking about.
I mean he is only one of two characters that uses Cecilia and Cecilia in language of flowers means "true feeling of prodigal son " which is his literal introduction from Facebook. The other charakter that uses Cecilia is Albedo and he has heavy Mother-son theme around himself and Gold. So it makes sense that both characters who use Cecilia to be sons of some very powerfull mothers. (Venti even more when it's his "drip marketing" from Facebook ) Plus his power to control winds from past and his power to know all songs from Past Present and Future. Plus if he is really the son of Istaroth , it shows very fun connection between Shining Shade of Life and Shining Shade of Time as both of them are Mothers of one of original Seven. ( Egeria And Barbatos.) Plus if the theory that Ronova is Shining Shade of Death, you can kinda say that she made the Pyro Archon as it was her power that was used to create rules of Natlan.
As a dedicated Venti main since 1.0 who has been SHOUTING his lore from the rooftops, thank you for beautifully displaying the exact point Venti fans have been point out for years!!
finally venti getting the justice he deserves!!! you cooked with this animation and im so glad venti and istaroth lore is getting recognised, praying for venti's 2nd story quest
FINALLY WE NEEDED SOMETHING before the reveal so that people won’t be shocked ; HAMELIN DID IT ; also a LOT of lore diggers like myself forgot venti while digging into everything else while EVERYTHING ELSE IS TIED TO HIM Hoyo actually wanted us to forget about him and Hamelin thankfully reminded us !!!
i thought it was yanning (lumine cn va) singing at first but it wasnt regardless its still good!! abyss lumi goes hard and the nod at the connection between venti and istaroth (goddess of time) at the end made me happy
Apparently, the story of Genshi has a time paradox, in the first phase of this time paradox, Lumine overthrew the 6 archons and killed Aether (?). But he only captured Venti. Throughout the genshin community, Venti was considered weak compared to other archons, which makes it implausible that only Venti could survive. But the fact that Venti controls time(?) we see at the end of the video seems to explain a lot of things. While Genshin is a game that takes ideas from many civilizations, we haven't seen much of the Greek myths, which is one of the most popular, but in this video, Venti reminded me of nothing other than Kronos. As a result, at the end of the first phase of the time paradox Venti managed to turn back time and the 2nd phase started. Now let me tell you about a few things that have not been explained properly since the beginning of the game. The first one is Paimon: It was a theory thought by all of us that Paimon was related to Celestia, but is it ridiculous that such a person jumped out of the sea? This is what I think: While Venti was taking back time, he changed some things so that he could win a victory against Lumine in the future, for this he had to cooperate with the unknown god at the beginning of the game ( If you noticed, in the animation, this unknown god sided with the archons against Lumine) He turned the unknown god into Paimon form to compare Aether earlier. Anyway, Paimon doesn't know where he came from and why he came out of the sea, but luckily, he has knowledge of all Teyvat, which is quite suspicious, and these confirm what I said. btw at the end of the animation, Venti implied that he knew Aether before. This confirms the time paradox, and thus the second phase of the time paradox gains meaning and connects to the present.Meanwhile, in the first phase of the time paradox, the defeat of the archons occurs simultaneously or consecutively with the destruction of Khaenri'ah. and I think the reason why Lumine is a bad person is that during the destruction of Khaenri'ah, the thing that turned the people of Khaenri'ah into Hillicurus was affecting Lumine's mind.That's my theory, thanks for reading. Edit:Venti constantly says about himself, "I'm probably the weakest archon." This is because he couldn't save anyone in the first phase of the time paradox.
First time I've heard that theory, but it kinda doesn't really make sense to me. Like, Istaroth is one of he Four Shining Shades, servant of the Primordial One. If there were Seven Shades, I could see the Primordial One disguising each one as an Archon and ruling Humanity that way. But there's only 4 and Barbatos is rather hands-off when it comes to ruling his nation. Plus, he seems to rather dislike Celestia, but that last one could just be a lie, of course.
Usually the theory is more of “venti is a shade/fragment of the god of time” rather than that he is them itself. Although his connection is relatively undeniable from the time & wind quest, to the quote “born from the branches of time”. And he definitely knows her personally since there was a time period in which she was ruled alongside him pre-aristocracy. So the theory isnt suppeerrr far fetched! Id recommend looking into it or at least watching some videos about the theory! Its interesting stuff and the points that tie them to eachother are really cool!
Also would like to add this! Forgot to initially, but when istaroth gave the design for the dainichi mikoshi (cant remember if im spelling it correCtly) to the people of enkanomiya, that was istaroth listening to the prayers of the people when they were explicitely ignored by the primordial one and other shades, which could imply that istaroth wasnt fully in sync with celestia/PO in terms of beliefs/values, which also coincides with one of your points against the theory! (Btw the point made in this comment can be cited to the in game book “the byakoyakoku collection vol.1” i think??? Not postitive) would love to here what you have to say
I think this is a 100% a second timeline Istaroth reverted Teyvat to, and maybe this caused them to become scattered into tiny wind whisps like the one Venti used to be before receiving the Gnosis. It would be a neat twist.
@@GhalanSmokeScale Istaroth acting against the Heavenly principles and Celestia he/she was the one who wrote the book "before the Sun and the Moon" who made Celestia so angry he/she was the one who helped EI plant the Sakura tree against the Heavenly principles (prohibited messing with time) and Ei felt his/her immense power We have two solutions - Istaroth goes rogue against the Primordial and Celestia, It is now an independent entity in itself. - The Primordial was the one who lost the war against the 2nd who came, and the latter is the ruler of Celestia
It reminds me of how in HI3rd they made all the different captains playing the game different canon timelines. I could totally see the same at the end of Genshin, Istaroth having reset the timeline millions of times, each timeline being a different playthrough of a player.
You know damn well Ei, Zhongli and Venti did everything they could in that fight. It's no secret their most likely the strongest, being original participants of the archon war and all.
@@S.U1399 looks like Ei and Zhongli won, difference is that Zhongli had his adepti with him and they succeeded in protecting his Liyue. While Ei lost everything. Again.
I'm positive Venti killed people during the Archon War and when he was sent to Khaenri'ah but it probably wasn't his proudest moment. I know he's not very fond of Celestia.
@@Angel_Auraa No, Venti didn't kill anyone during the Archon War. We already know what happen for him. As far we know, only Decarabian and Andrius were fighting each other during the War. Barbatos was just here, a wisp a Thousand Wind born from Time, friend of humans. Amos killed Decarabian and Andrius willingly allowed himself to die so Barbatos could become the Anemo Archon, admitting that Barbatos will be better suited to this role. Killing doesn't fit his personality, like during the fight against Durin where he was a support for Dvalin.
@@Lirkathelibertyit seems like he's not lying that he's weak, it's just that if someone isn't good at fighting doesn't mean he's not good at supporting right? I think that's what happened to Barbatos
If im not mistaken, who get into war first is makoto (her twins) not ei. So ei was late to come to war and already saw makoto death including other archon such as guizong. Idk if the war is already finished or not when ei comes. Please tell me if someone knew the timeline.
That is interesting. Kronos is the god of time. Kairos, Istaroth's other name, is actually the god of moments. Enkanomiya book called Istaroth as "The Moment". So that would mean that she is not the time as a whole, but a piece of the entirety. If venti is Kronos then, that would make istaroth a part of him instead.
is it possible that after the tsaritsa knew of the consequences of having the gnoses collected by the abyss, she set off on collecting them herself? and considering she fell before venti "reset" time, she mightve retained her memories but is not aware of venti's true identity. maybe thats is why venti was so easily defeated by signora. he was willing to see where this route in time would go if the tsaritsa instead collected the gnoses instead of the abyss.
@@silent1759 but if that was the case they would all try to save tevyet together right? No wait, now that I think about it Zhongli did give his gnosis with his wish and others too but then arises a question: wouldn't that mean Yae Miko and Neuvillete would be aware of evrything cause they r the ones who gave the gnosis!?
@@WakingAPGamer technically speaking, gnosis itself is huge burden. Giving it to someone else than letting it stay by yourself and make you a target definitely sounds better.
1. It is the Dark Sun dimming and fading 2. It is the Thousand Winds raging across the land 3. It is the Bedrock breaking free from gravity's chain 4. It is Life, inscribed as death Bruh she casually (re)introduced the Four Shining Shades of the Primordial One.
My vague interpretation: At the start they say something: There are countless possibilities (...) is this one of thos you spoke of? So, this could be a what if Scenario if the traveler would have never woken up ig. But also, the Khaenri'ha stuff still happened But, this could also be the past and could have happened at some point of time (that doesn't rly exists anymore or no one can remember it. Maybe bc time got rewined.) Like, there is this whole Venti being Istaroth (god of time) Theory going on since very much the beginning of the game. The only hints we can find about Istaroth in the over world are mostly only Mondstadt. And it has also so many things that hint to Celestia, etc. (Plus, Venti is just sus!) But despite Venti being Istaroth or not, we know that there is a god of time, or was, at leat. There is also this Theory, since sumeru came out, that whole teyvat is inside of a Samsara, a timeloop and that history just repeats itself. Differently each time (maybe), but still not the best Outcome. So what if they wait for that best Outcome to happen? Since, imagine the traveler wouldn't be there. Like in this vid. Who knows what would have happened?
@@SummerDaywithyou Trueee! Tho this could be from the time we met him again at the very beginning. I am not sure tho, I would need to look this up. Man, I just love genshin theories and esp the two original archons are the most suspicious ones. Ehm, off topic, ik
A very, VERY beautifully done animation. I got goosebump the moment Venti use the "Istaroth" ability against Lumine. And also, the song is giving me GOOSEBUMP.
Barbatos, being tied to time itself, hailing from the power of Istaroth- remembering timelines, having set us up for our journey. People call him a lazy Archon, but he is one that will not rest until the world will truly be at peace
After all, what he wants for his children his to experience freedom as he roamed around the world. Watching everyone dance and sing to the songs he strings on his lyre.
his ideology is pretty flawed tho, he is the other extreme of raiden. Absolute freedom is chaos which is caused by the absence of order. Now it would be fine if genshin showed it as a extreme but since this is a anime game they would probably show it in a good light or wont be making him extreme . The later is just boring, and both conclusions are lazy.
@@Bloomandgrow5756 sorry if I'm misunderstanding anything: they did actually show flaws in this, in the webtoon. When the Lawrence clan took over Mondstadt, abusing the freedom that Venti gave them. I'd say things are only so tame in Mondstadt, because they genuinelly love Barbatos, so they keep to his principles. At least most of Mondstadt. However the Knight system sure is flawed.. most things heavily rely on Jean, Diluc and Eula. I don't think Venti likes the knight system either, but he still has this mindset that it's not big enough of an issue where he'd have to intervene as the mighty Lord Barbatos. Or something. Since well.. not much he can do as a simple bard.
@@Bloomandgrow5756definitely it's flawed. Which is pointed above and also why Venti let Vanessa establish a rule that time. Because it's that flawed lol that higher ups will take advantage. Anyways, "Barbatos will only intervene if the people can't solve their own problems" is his policy. So as long as he as venti the bard can pull the strings or do underhanded tactics. (ie Forging Morax signature for the treaty, Getting to know Vanessa and helping her, using jean diluc and traveler to save dvalin) he wouldn't show up as Barbatos.
When I watched this, it made me think of Aether's journey beginning in Mondstadt, then to Liyue, then to Inazuma, then to Sumeru, then to Fontaine, then to Natlan, then to Snezhnaya, and finally Khaenri'ah. While Aether's journey begins in Mondstadt ends in Khaenri'ah, Lumine's path of destruction begins in Khaenri'ah and ends at Mondstadt.
@Astyler I just saw from the video and made the theory. That plus when she puts the Anemo Gnosis on the map at Mondstadt to signify that Mondstadt will be her final destination.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, Hamelin has done it again This was definitely one of the best works I've seen from this year's genshin birthday party. The music was epic and both the 2D and 3D animation looked amazing. Congratulations to everyone involved in this year's genshin birthday party.
I’m impressed with the animation. This probably took such a long time and the song of the person who sang it also so good it was super interesting to watch.
EXACTLY WHAT IM THINKING. It’s clear he’s hiding something and the mystery around Venti is so intriguing to me. VENTI IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER AND IM SO READY TO KNOW MORE
The messed up part is "Lumine." Didn't have to do anything to Fontaine because with out the fina trial happens, the prophecy happens anyway and only Focalor is partialy alive and neuevillette is no where to be seen
This is a masterpiece! Which would imply that Venti is even more powerful than what everyone theorise, let me explain... If Dark Lumine knew who Venti truly was (Istaroth/Chronos), why did she acted the way she did? (Mocking Venti) Either she didn’t knew who he was until the very end, and decided to fight him anyway even if she knew by then that Venti weld the power of time. (And so that she would probably lose) Or she knew about his real identity from the very start or mid-way, which make more sense considering how she acted, almost laughing / mocking at Venti while revealing to him that she knew who he truly is. I think she knew, and if she knew, that mean she was content with Venti witnessing the darker timeline before resetting it. Because she assumed or knew that it wouldn't affect her current timeline where she win and Venti would only be able to affect an alternate timeline at best. Maybe she even observed Venti to gauge his knowledge of her own plans. Once she saw he hadn't interfered, she would've known she could win in this timeline as it would not be a timeline where Venti already went back in time, and so knew what she was planning to do. From here she could simply wipe out all the archons and leave Venti at the end as a reward to be enjoyed when she won, while trying to extract information from him as well, as she knew he poses no treat. Now the way she acted make way more sense in that context. But here's the interesting part: (Let me cook~) When Venti saw the firsts archons losing / dying, he probably decided to scout this timeline to the maximum length possible before resetting it in order to be prepared for the next timeline. When Dark Lumine revealed to him that she KNEW who he truly was, then he concluded he couldn’t safely extract further information from this timeline. And he instantly started the process of time traveling (to an other timeline), without even talking to her. This is a HUGE deductive detail. What this imply is that Venti knew from what Dark Lumine told him that she didn't knew the full extend of his powers. And that is maybe the main reason why he decided to initiate the time travel instantly, rather than trying to scout her more.That mean he had learn enough for what he was planning to do with time travel. And that staying longer would only be a risk of her understanding the extend of his true powers. While Dark Lumine though she won while pointing her sword at him watching him escape that timeline. (As if she was saying: This is my domain, leave and don't return) Venti won, because what Dark Lumine didn't knew and couldn't knew, is that there exist a way to merge timelines. (Ref: Sakura tree in Inasuma). So what does that mean? Is Venti even more than just, linked to / being, the Time God? In short if Venti waited that long doing nothing it was because he knew he could merge timelines and maybe because using his power cost a lot of energy, so he had to be sure when to use his power, and so Dark Lumine timeline can be defeated even if she won. I like this theory, as it show truly who Venti is. But ofc this is only a theory plus it's basing itself on a fan made video, but who know, maybe they did receive some indications from Genshin and so there might be real lore in that masterpiece of a fan video. Also Pog Dark Lumine, ngl it felt satisfying as well to watch her destroy the archons one by one, and ofc Pog Venti, he is giving some very cool 5D chess vibes, like if everything was planned and under control. Btw, that's why one of his lines saying he is the weakest Archons, because he couldn't save anyone in the 1st timeline. But I would say in the contrary that he is the STRONGEST one if he can merge timelines in addition of controlling time. If he can manipulate timelines past that power, such power is equal to Gods, and who know who Venti truly is in the end. There’s so much to unpack from his, the lore, and the community’s theories. That make me want to try make a videos talking about all of them. Because we are only scratching the surface here. Bonus: Because of the vision hunt decree and without the Sakura tree to help cleansing the abyss, Raiden lose not by fighting but because all her peoples end up dying fighting except her, so she ended her as having no one to fight for. While Zhongli end himself in order to protect Liyue by sealing it away from the world and end up winning against Dark Lumine, he is the only Archon to manage getting a win against her in the original timeline, because of his contract of protection Liyue. (Pog Zhongli)
Well, I always sort of suspected that the current timeline is like the most recent rendition of Teyvat. Given how unstoppable the Abyss seemed, it was confusing how they didn't already succeed, and even less so now that the other twin is also awake.
It'd be very fitting for the god of freedom to have the power to traverse through time, that way, Venti is never really trapped and will always be free
Question for the more lore driven people. How would this alternate timeline even work exactly? The Abyss sibling mentioned in the most recent Dainsleif quest, they are weaker than him and only won, due to Dainsleif holding back. This seems to follow the same time progression as our current one. The only archons that make sense to me dying are Nahida and Furina. Nahida being either from the corruption or Scaramouche fully becoming the god we stopped and Furina because that final trial would have never happened and thus the prophecy would have happened. Assuming our sibling is taking the fight to Celestia, that would more than likely mean the end of this world. Zhongli has a contract to protect Liyue, I don't see how him not fighting the sibling right there, wouldn't be protecting Liyue, given a fight against Celestia, is more than likely going to wipe Liyue off the map. Raiden, she fought herself for 500 years non stop and her duel was at her opponent's most peak. I couldn't imagine her falling to the Abyss or even our sibling without it being pushed to a time near what she fought, as again, she was fighting nonstop against her strongest self. Venti is the wild card, hints him being much stronger than he lets off, but right now I don't believe anything is confirmed. He could fall, he could also not fall. As for the 2 archons not shown. Mauvika, while not as strong as Raiden and probably debatable between current Zhongli, is shown to be no stranger to a fight, given her fight with Capitano. Tsaritsa, we don't know her strength, but the top 3 Harbingers and maybe Arlecchino (thinking she's hiding her strength as an ace up her sleeve if needed, given the Crimson Moon in our fight with her,) aren't exactly pushovers. The other harbingers would probably fight too, minus Scaramouche after he became a god, but which lower harbingers survives that fight against the Abyss or our sibling, is up in the air. If the Abyss/sibling showed up to any of those regions to kill the archon, I just couldn't imagine our sibling taking out those remaining archons and coming out alive or even trying to fight Celestia, else they would have done it already. Right now, the Abyss is getting pushed to the side, with our focus seeming to be against the Fatui. Natlan seems to be setting up the Abyss again, but it sounds like that war between the Abyss and Natlan was before our sibling became part of the Abyss like they are now. At the start of the game, we saved Mondstadt from Dvalin, sure that's a hiccup in the Abyss plan, but I just couldn't imagine that fully stops our sibling from going all out against the archons or Celestia if they could already, given it shows both Furina and Nahida dying how they would naturally if we weren't there to fix things, it's not seeming like it's a very far off future timeline wise that should be so drastically changed. Now, I'll admit, I'm not deep into lore, basically just what's on screen in the quests. The books and stuff you find in the overworld, I don't read that much and I don't know how long between regions in game time, is passing (is it following the yearly cycle like we wait between patches or is it sooner or further out.) The biggest outlier for me would be Raiden, because again, in her fight against herself, it was a 500 year nonstop fight to the death and she was fine. If we go off the events in nations being one year apart, Nahida would have been corrupted/killed/Scaramouche new god, 1 year later, Fontaine is hit with the primordial sea and Furina is killed. Raiden falling in battle against the Abyss anytime soon wouldn't make sense, otherwise our sibling would have made that move already if they felt they could win that fight. Not sure how quickly Zhongli would fall to corrosion, but it couldn't be as soon as the video is showing. Probably thinking too much into it, the animation was done beautifully and I shouldn't let that be taken away from my question, just the lore side of things had me curious for how this could even play out.
its just an assumption this abyss lumine is still not kinda true and the aether sleeping and taking turns is also just pure imagination i mean they are prbly telling that lumine got corrupted was used by the sinners and killed every archon since celestia destroyed khaneriah and that it is a kind of time loop since venti said he met us before but where? so basiically in prev. timeline lumine just killed while aether slept and in new timeline also this is happening aether is awake and is exploring and lumine wh0 hints that she might be just using abyss to accomplish her goal and if you assume the fact bro fuirna cant die since neuvilette is there but she can die if fontaine submerged nahida is implied that she might die in future since if harbinger are gonna burn the tree zhongli he looks like he will break a contract since he doesnt care he can fight for his ppl and ei wont just die by abyss even i know that we have mauvika and also xbalanque with tsartisa with her minions but this is just an assumption bro dont take it too srsly enjoy
From my perspective, 1) Raiden didn't lose, her fight lasted so much that the people she was protecting were slain by the abyss leaving her no one to fight for 2) Zhongli didn't lose either. He petrified himself creating a barrier around that mountain enclosing it from the abyssal attack and successfully saved his people(exact opposite of raiden) 3) Mavuika prolly got himeko'ed. She fought on equal terms against capitano who is alot weaker than dain and abyss sibling 4) dont know bout tsaritsa enough to conclude anything but Leaks say half of the fatui gonna go against her in the archon quest so maybe abyss took advantage of that
Videos like this one show exactly why I love seeing Lumine as the Abyss Princess her demeanor in game as part of the Abyss more fits over the way Aether's is when he's not the character you play as. I've played as both siblings on two different accounts and have to say that Lumine's VA does an amazing job delivering her lines as the Abyss Princess but as a traveler not so much.
@nuramenyo It's not only me bro, alot of people think the same thing as I do. It's not just the line delivery either. It's also about how her character is portrayed in the game she gives off the aura of being part of the abyss. If you see her as more of the traveler that's likely just a you thing bro. 🤷♂️

For those who don’t know the lore: Barbatos and Istaroth were once worshipped in Mondstadt together. However after the death of Istaroth, everyone slowly forgot about her and assumed Venti to be the sole God in the nation. However, traces of Istaroth can still be found in Mond’s culture, in sayings like “seeds of stories brought by the winds of time,” and Istaroth’s abandoned island with the clock on it. It’s a theory that Barbatos is in some way related to Istaroth, because if she is the “time” in the “winds of time,” then Barbatos, as a wind spirit, must have somehow originated from her.
She didn’t die she kinda just disappears I’m sure venti’s infamous second story quest will explain
Istaroth is not dead, however it's unknown why they were forgotten... ironically through the passage of time.
she aint dead she dissapeared the only dead shade we know i think is ronova god of death also i think gods and dragons can die so they will be revived
Istaroth didn't die, she just disappeared. Our latest records of her is during the cataclysm where she helped Makoto send her consciousness into the future
It's not mentioned anywhere that Istaroth died, so I doubt that's the case. Barbatos SHOULD be related to her, seeing as though he is technically a thousandth of her (1/1000 of the thousand winds).

How each nation falls
Sumeru: Lumine haa it easy destroying Sumeru. The academia's poor managing of the entire nation made the people and creatures weak. The academia wouldn't be able to react nor even take the abyss threat seriously till it is too late. As Nahida is trapped in the Acadmia all she can so is beg and plead Lumine spare her people. There she dies and rots
Fontaine: Lumine simply lets the prophey goes as it should only Lumine makes sure Furina doesnt get the trail she wants forcing her to watch all her people desolve and die followed by her also desolves as she too dies. Neuvillette and Focolar would edvenully fall to Lumine as she can then send in her abyssal army towards them both to finish them off.
Inazuma: With the Raiden Shogun closing the nation and taking people's vision Lumine would surround each island and send in a horde of abyssal creatures taking each island out one by one. The Raiden Shogun puppet fights as hard as she can but ei will become empty realsing there is no point to keep fighting with everyone dead. Ei would commit seppuku to end this enteral darkness
Liyue: Her hardest challange. Lumine would take things slow. The less occupied areas and village are taken down first. The other nations destroyed preventing trade or even escape. Lumine surrounds every bit of resistance and destroys them and soon with enough time and prep she goes after the city and edventually the adeptis mountains while Zhongli defends his people to the last only to be engulfed by abyssal power
Mondstadt: Take the surrounding area, Poison the water around the nation, stimply let them starve via siege after all Lumine has all the time she needs. Any counter attack by Jean or Venti would be useless agasint a more numeral and technologically more advance numeruious enemy. With the Nation unable to do anything Lumine can at any time launch her attack and kidnap Venti
Natlan: Constant warfare may harden a country and it's people but the abyss keeps comming over and over for they technically dont need to worry about dying. Like ei the Pyro archon and her people are destroyed by huge hordes of abyss warriors. The beloved animals of Natlan are infected and turn against the tribes.
Snezhnaya: Idk
The 2nd Khaenrian empire rises. All that is left is Venti in a cage and the heavens themselves
Snezhnaya: I feel like Tsaritsa would have her strongest Harbingers + Pierro (since he's a Khaenri'ahn mage) help her fight or she'd use the gnoses she collected (Geo, Electro? Dendro and her own Gnosis but eventually the Harbingers died and her people tried starting a rebellion against the Tsaritsa (considering that Dain mentioned she had no love left for her people, nor did they) so maybe her people decide to help the abyss in defeating Tsaritsa and/or she froze to death
The one confuses me that venti knows the traveler after resetting but it doesnt seem they have met could it be venti saw the traveler's coffin or seen many alternate timelines after resetting its just confusing where the traveler died at first where he was awoken or in each nation
I like how Raiden was the one who wasn't actually killed by Lumine, only saw that there was no reasons to keep fighting and gave up.
I think it matches her characther pretty well, like- she's the god of Eternity, I can imagine her fighting against Lumine for centuries, but she just didn't had nothing to fight for anymore.
But what about the characters that died in each nation
@@cosmiceclipse there was a theory that Travellers sister came before traveller, this video suggests that everything happened in the timeline when her sister came and did the chaos. and after venti reversed the time, it restarted the timeline and there traveller came in. so venti himself restarted the game, he knows the traveller well from the beginning. it seems what we are playing is the timeline where his sister already has reincarnated and he is a new boy to the world and this explains why Akasha has knowledge about his sister in this timeline
Remember. It's always the funniest and chillest guy who's the most OP
Yes
Yeah I guess- but that was Istaroth’s power, not Venti’s.
@@KaraR-p6b venti is not istaroth but venti was the only one who had contact with her
@@Juzou_Suzuya_Sanny Yeah that's what I'm trying to say
@@Juzou_Suzuya_Sanny isn't Venti a part of Istaroth, or at least was born from her (she was call godess of thousand winds if I remember and Venti is "a wind" from it, I might be wrong but that was what I remember from the lore and will wait a comment to correct me)
5:21 THAT PART GAVE ME CHILLS!! VENTI IS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE ARCHONNN
YESS!!
My 5 genshin nerd friends study dis so this is what we found
The child was likely from khaenriah 0:57 Likely after Khaenriah's destruction We dont know much about the Friend/ at 0:57
3rd anniversary animation we saw a a diffrent end. Probably Venti's power.
At 1:45 there is a balemoon likely The 3 twins who control the moon the sun and the sky 2:00 This Is How The Abyss Order Manifested Likely. So line we are rules hinting At the abyss order wanting to conquer celestia and the gods so at 2:03 thats the very same BP Animation Hinting at Monstadt as we saw it in the first meeting venti animation him singing about a bird hm. Strange 2:24 it might had been a dream fighting the Unknown Goddess With lumine Venti might had created a wormhole or a portal to likely make aether wake up Paimon might be a god [No Confirmation yet] Kingdom of light referring to Khaenriah .
The line One of the heirs set off to search for the pearl [Aether is the pearl most likely] we dont know yet What Is the line *she became the queen*
[Flower of life is nahida or rukkhadevata] The Line (Break The hourglass Is The unknown godess dying) likely
Archons are puppets At the line 3:08
Venti as the queen controlling the puppets 3:26
So the lines at 3:38
Evil. Dainsleaf fighting the minions Of Luminel/Burial. Hidden lines they bought died like The king of khaenriah
Wisdom the god of Wisdom Rukkhadevata Or incarnation Nahida failed to give any orders plans for the fight. so failed/slumber the tree of life Corrupted and Nahida And a deep slumber This Might Be In THE CURRENT TIMELINE because Furina Is not EGERIA Venti Likely Had Reversed to aether and lumine travelling
Justice Furina failed At focalors mission/broken furina became an oceanid or the great wave hitted Killing everyone
Ever if you match this as Forever or eternal It makes sense but ever So. It did not last forever as eternal as it seems baal failed dying for inazuma/fallen Luminel Corruption Gotten her no Inazuma Palace Collapsing Likely
CONTRACT zhongli Made. Contract for peace and eternal slumber But Luminel Granted his wish Making him stone and as the dragon on chenyu vale
The most important lines
FREEDOM: Venti wanted too much He desired And he aftermath is /Karma monstadt Being in an everlasting barrier WE ARE GOOD AT LIPREADING THE Line Luminel Said Was IS - TA - ROTH by the move of the lip It Says Istaroth Or astaroth Istaroth is Most LIKELY THE WORD
Joy luminel Conquering the gods Making abyss order laughing/Wrath The Queen Piece Moves Plays is role Killing The evil corroded this chess match Istaroth In a very deep slumber with Luminel keeping it from breaking
The last 2 lines might be important
Fever: Referring to a dream Or a sickness Likely Corruption Into a eternal Slumber/Folie Is A term emotion Or thought THIS IS A DREAM
It took us 2 days please appreciate us😮
Two days yet no replys
Dang unlucky you😿
@@LocalTravellerPlant make it two
Appreciate you guys did great🎉 im well feed
Damn, your 5 friends not so genshin nerds.
0:57 Judging by the child's eyes and the fact that she was turning into a Hilichurl, she is not from Khaenri'ah, she is one of those who came to Khaenri'ah from the surface.
1:45 The three moon sisters are not twins, and they do not control the sun or the sky, at least there is no information about this.
2:00 No, this is just a reference to that story of the Venti, we already know how the Abyss Order manifested from Caribert quest.
2:24 This is a reference to the text at the beginning of the animation, which says that this is just a possibility of what could have happened if Lumine had been corrupted by the Abyss, and Aether had never woken up.
2:52 All these lines about flowers, a feather, a goblet and a hourglass refer to the four Shades, as well as to the artifacts that you use in game. The flower is the Shade of life, the one who created all life on the planet and who created the first hydro archon. The feather is the Shade of death (Ronova), the one who gave Natlan the power to fight the Abyss. The goblet is a Shade of Space, we don't know anything about them, they may be an Unknown God. The hourglass is a Shade of time (Istaroth), she has appeared in many places and done many things in the past, and Venti also appeared from her created thousand winds. There is also a crown, it's Heavenly Principles, the creator of the four shades and the usurper who took the homeplanet from the dragons.
3:35 Evil. Dainsleif fights five Sinners, and dies in this battle because it's a different timeline.
EVIL - Burial
Wisdom- Slumber
Justice- Broken
Ever- Fallen
Contract- Enclosed
Freedom- KARMA

What the song name tho?
@@PrideHunter-dg1ux Unawakened Dream , it's original song lol
What?
This song has Chinese lyrics and English lyrics. In this section, the English lyrics have only 2 words per sentence, while the Chinese lyrics have 7 words. I think the Chinese lyrics have the complete meaning.
This is the detailed translation of the lyrics:
(Chinese
English by Google Translate)
罪孽，葬送于地底
Evil, buried in the ground
智慧，永眠于梦魇
Wisdom, sleeping forever in nightmares
正义，破碎于胎海
Justice, broken in the sea of wombs
永恒，在净土陨落
Ever, falling in the pure land
契约，为守护自封
Contract, to protect self-sealing
自由，囚禁于轮回
Freedom, imprisoned in reincarnation
English lyrics compress the character length to the minimum. XD

@@WakingAPGamer yeah, it's in Chinese because the creator is one i think
Man I love this, it's so good. Made me tense up and stuff like I was watching something official, amazing work really. This video really captures Genshin's essence well and the use of multiple styles they typically have is really cool!
Honestly can't wait for the moment genshin turns out something like this animation.
After all*, it's part of the honkaiverse, and it's about time it starts showing it's true honkai colors. With the 4+ year buildup it's getting, when it happens it's gonna be so HYPE
Venti and zhongli are not only the oldest archons but also the ones with the most mystery surrounding them especially venti. Cant wait for the story to progress further as we reach the final nation.
Plus in one of the in game books it’s said that he descended which is very sus
I was emotional seeing the archons die. Nahida getting consumed by the abyss along with the Irminsul tree. Fontaine got flooded and Neuvillette wasn't able to save everyone including Furina who got dissolve. Ei fought to her last stand until she meets her end. Zhongli reverts back into his prime adepti form to stop the calamity but ended up turned to corrupted/consumed. Venti, the first Archon that has many secrets and connections goes full higher being reversing back time to restart everything that happened.
Now that I think about, maybe you're on to something, what if Venti is actually Istaroth or has a portion of her power and reversed back time, he does have a deleted voice line to the Traveler he met them before
To be Honest, Furina is never will dead by flooded because, until her divinity (Focalors Dead) she will never be dead...
But yah, I never want think about Focalors already dead first before she can return Hydro Archon Power to Neuvilette, because if that true, fountain in this scane is became real one 😢
Venti isn't istaroth, but he's kind of part of Istaroth due being born from istaroth's power.
i have a feeling Istaroth did reverse the time and Venti, being part of the God, still has his memories intact. Hence why he knows the song in past and future
@@rafidarmawan1679 She’ll still be dissolved and “immortality” in this case is just eternal life and not true immortality.
@@rafidarmawan1679 I can really only see two possibilities on this what if scenario to happen, either Neuvillette was defeated by the abyss order here, or he wasn't persuaded/convinced enough by furina/focalors
Ei still could fight another 500 years straight. I think at that point tho, where Lumine massacred all of Inazuma, Ei just ran out of people to protect so she and gave up.
Again I applaud your amazing work.
Lumine’s design as the Abyssal princess is (chefs kiss) beautiful.
The whole confrontation with Venti gave me chills. I like the idea of Venti being entrusted with Istaroth’s power since they were once friends. Hopefully the main canon picks up on this.
Hamelin strikes again! This is literally what I expect to happen with Venti's identity, it was so cool and Abyss Lumine looks absolutely beautiful omg
hi. im new to this kind of vid. is this video official or fan made/theory?

something about Venti being partly God of Time
@@June-yq7jy i see, i watched the video and understood it though haven't done venti quest. I'm assuming this is from a lumine main perspective? Did some research and found out about the four shining shades. Istaroah is said to be God of time and thousand wind and venti is said to come from string of thousand wind, maybe he's her child or part of her? Interesting though.
Also I keep mistaking lumine as fischel here 😂 eerly similiar
Also I think venti is in a boy's body right? Forgot about it. Finished sumeru archon quest yesterday and I wonder if it's similar to greater and lesser lord's relationship. How venti is just a part of istaroah
This is why Venti still hasnt gotten a 2nd story quest. The amount of LORE this man has locked away will be insane. We all know it!! I look forward to the day all his secrets will spill out.
BUT HOLY FRICK THAT SCENE AT THE END WITH HIM!!!! YA GUYS COOKED! THIS WAS SO COOL!!
It’s a Masterpiece, I got goosebumps 😍😍
It beatiful
He should get a new skin with his 2nd story quest
@@wailch7984 i swear if hoyo release his archon skin, I'm leaving my f2p status 😭
@@wailch7984That’ll be the first time I ever buy genesis crystals, that and Wanderer’s skin
I found it absolutely sensational and shocking how each archon is killed using their weakness/counter against them:
Nahida, with the concept of life and plants, literally ROT along with the Irminsul tree after begging for mercy for her people, Furina is overwhelmed and DROWNS in the water along with her city by a gigantic wave, which after flooding, she turns into foam, based on how mermaids do once they touch land, they turn into foam if they return to the sea, Ei's death is simply BRUTAL, directing an entire army of monsters from the abyss against her, and tanking it while her people perish, in the end, she is left ALONE with all the corpses of her people and the remains of the army of the abyss and faced with the idea of being alone for ALL eternity SHE TAKES HER LIFE, Zhongli is more subtle, since I can see that despite Xiao and Xianyun trying to protect him, he chooses acceptance and resignation, as if his death was AGREED, to finally remain PETRIFIED, finally our angel boy, representative of freedom whose fall shows him CAGED, and without a glimpse of this freedom... all in all: overwhelming...
I would have loved to see Mavuika and the Tsarina in this video, I think it would have been artistically great, I would have liked to see how their fall is, I am genuinely curious about this...
artistically speaking, this video is poetry...
Omg I was looking for someone who talked about how Ei and Zhongli actually died!!! But how do we know Ei took her own life?
@@SolitarySoliloquyshe failed to protect her people like how she fails her twins. So yes. She cant take it.
@@SolitarySoliloquy we don't. Also I think Zhongli more sacrificed himself to shield/seal off whoever was still alive and hiding on that mountain.
We dont know about mavuika so they cant find out what her weakness and tsarisa dosent have a design yet and we literrly dont know much about tsarisa
@@SolitarySoliloquy 4:23 "Your Highness, of the 7 archons 6 have fallen" from which I can interpret that Ei is no longer alive, none of them. Analyzing the sequence where Ei can be seen observing the sky while the remains of the army of the abyss and the corpses of her people are shown, if it is said that "6 of them have fallen" I interpret that Ei managed to destroy the army, but faced with the idea of spending eternity alone, it was she herself who took her own life, that is the way in which the princess of the abyss managed to destroy her. This, together with a quote from Yae Miko during the Inazuma story in which she says: "Eternity is too cruel for you Ei" (I don't remember the exact quote) leads me to think that that was her outcome
but of course... I'm just a fan, I can only interpret, only the creator of the video knows this 100%
My highlights
-Lumine having the opposite color scheme (surprised that her hair wasn't violet),
- The artifacts
-The archons suffering 😢
-Venti is... Istaroth? But his eyes were almost similar to Asmoday (The unknown god)
-THE TIME LOOP IMPLICATION (Venti's in game voiceline)
-THE CLOCK BEHIND VENTI GOING BACKWARDS
THIS IS A FUCKING LORE BOMB IF THESE ARE CANON EVEN IF THESE THEORIES WERE IN MY HEAD FOR LIKE 4 YEARS
It's probably canon, but it's not what will happen later part in the story. Rather it is shown to be timeline before we currently in, and barbatos rewind time and met us again at beginning of the story.
Venti is kind of born from Istaroth's power, so he's fraction of her
Morax solidified into stone in his part.
Canonly venti is related to istaroth, seeing as he is technically a thousandth of her (1/1000 of the thousand winds) and was worshipped alongside her for a while. This could end up as being canon, but the video is fan-made, and so doesn't give us any real information.
@@mitacestalia7532 I don’t fully remember who and what istaroth is. Does that mean him being “one of the thousand winds” is a lie? A metaphor?
so this is an alternate timeline where lumine succeeded in carrying out her plan and then venti restarted time. i don't know what happened to aether but one thing for sure he couldn't stop lumine and ended up in a long sleep, and i'm sure aether's journey in this timeline is not too different from the original story in the game even though he failed in the end. this concept gives me goosebumps, thank you for your hard work.
Lumine, the herrscher of Abyss
d'ailleurs je viens de voir ta vidéo incroyable sinon oui cet univers alternatif fais flipper franchement 🥶
I think venti's last line is implied that the event in this video has already happened and when he first met us in game, he already restarted time. Also the last line that he said in this video is already in-game, its in his hello voiceline.
@@tvemilosti2288well, if that's the case i once theorized that maybe aether had been to teyvat with lumine. they met unknown god and got separated. lumine was in the past 500 years before khaenri'ah was destroyed, and aether went to the future 500 years later with vague memories. but venti becoming istaroth was really the peak story
@@JOANYV21haha, merci d'être passé 😅
There have been world resets (samsaras) so this could have happened too and venti reseted everything. But probably no one except him, and the twin knows that

That was a really interesting take on why venti knows us, yet the traveler doesn't remember him, i can't wait to see what mihoyo has written, but i love what you've created!!!
Dude, when I saw this I was like ''Oh normal, an abyss with victories'' but I must admit, what shocked me the most about the animation, was not seeing the archons being defeated and having atrocious endings. But, how Zhongli was also defeated, since both in the story and in the fandom, he is considered a figure of high power and esteem. And seeing him in that state was like ''Oh god...''
The truth is, if Genshin focused more on a dark side and not so ''romanticized'', as it is currently for young audiences, it would be a story with much more potential than it has now.
Yeah, he's being corrupted isn't that far catched. He is indeed a powerful figure, but corruption is catching up on him. I think someone did mention the reason why he is retired is because he's aware of it.
More like corrosion is affecting him.
He broke a contract... That's why he becomes petrified... Maybe because he revealed to Lumine who Venti (prodigious son of the goddess of wind and time) really was. Barbatos and Zhongli are the oldest archons...
Venti has as Gnosis the queen (most important piece in a chessboard) even if Venti says he is the weakest of the archons it's weird.. Knowing that Zhongli has like Gnosis the second strongest piece on the chessboard: the rook) and that on the other hand he is considered one of the strongest archons.
At the beginning of our Teyvat adventure, Venti recognizes us... But we don't... Also at the end of the archon quest Venti tells us that he will guide us on our journey
We meet in Liyue Xiao (who saves us ..🎉) in Inazuma Kazuha who also saves us ... Venti gives a divine eye to Scara who also saves us from danger ...
Lynet and Lynette investigate with us and save us from the tragedy of Fontaine.. I expect a lot from Chasca on Natlan 👍
At the bottom of Venti's statue, you see written in the language of Teyvat "entrance to Celestia"
Kaenriah means "Traitor to the Wind"
Venti has already had to go back in time (several times) since he had to sleep for several centuries (it is said during the quest) maybe because the end of Teyvat... Is always horrible..
Venti knows a lot of songs that have disappeared from the past... And we can say that maybe that's why he drinks so much... Just to forget the past that only he knows..
i would literally cry from shock and happines if the genshim lore was like this
THIS IS the ending, we all shouted for
Its so detailed, thoghtfull and I cant even find the best word to describe this
Thankk you for allowing us to see this masterpiece
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON BUT OML IS THAT QUALITY AMAZING
My understanding is that it is an alternate reality when the MC is not there to save Teyvat:
1. Sumeru's will be plagued by forbidden knowledge and the world tree will be further poisoned
2. Fontaine will drown as per prophecy and everyone will dissolve
3. The contaminated irminsul will continue to send memories of abyss monster to attack Inazuma until no one is alive
4. I don't know about the symbolism in Liyue but seems like the Geo Archon has to forever protect Liyue against impending danger
5. The dragon will continue to attack Mondstadt and even the Anemo Archon fail to stop Dvalin

@@greenmatius Abyss Lumine kills every archon except Venti, who resets the timeline.
idk how many times I've watched this already, I can't wait for the 5th anniversary!!! only 10 months!!!!!!
I personally believe in the theory that Venti is related to the Goddess of Time, as her son, because he's often referred to as the Prodigal son, born from the branches of time, etc. I've always thought that if he is her son, perhaps Istaroth restarted time herself, and Venti still remembers. Or Venti, possibly being her son, has some sort of power over time and does so himself.
But I still love this because I adore Venti, and he is my favorite
He can actually manipulate time to some extent. In one event, when he returned memories of the past to some characters, he could be found in Mondstadt and after talking to him he said: "To bring back the winds of the past, I had to take a deep breath".
And yes, the dialogue at the beginning is a dialogue between Venti and Istaroth
@zhenakolombini Yeah, many people seem to see it as Venti being Istaroth in this video, and maybe that's the theory the video is running with, but I truly believe Venti is Istaroth's son. It doesn't surprise me at all if Venti has some connection to time, being that he was a wisp of the Thousand Winds and Istaroth is the Goddess of Time and the Thousand Winds.
I never played through that event because I very unfortunately, wasn't around then. But I have seen clips of what you're talking about.
I mean he is only one of two characters that uses Cecilia and Cecilia in language of flowers means "true feeling of prodigal son " which is his literal introduction from Facebook.
The other charakter that uses Cecilia is Albedo and he has heavy Mother-son theme around himself and Gold.
So it makes sense that both characters who use Cecilia to be sons of some very powerfull mothers.
(Venti even more when it's his "drip marketing" from Facebook )
Plus his power to control winds from past and his power to know all songs from Past Present and Future.
Plus if he is really the son of Istaroth , it shows very fun connection between Shining Shade of Life and Shining Shade of Time as both of them are Mothers of one of original Seven.
( Egeria And Barbatos.)
Plus if the theory that Ronova is Shining Shade of Death, you can kinda say that she made the Pyro Archon as it was her power that was used to create rules of Natlan.
This is FIRE! I really really really hope Venti gets a scene like this in canon it would be so gosh darn EPIC it's what he DESERVES!

This animation is too daym good bruh 😭
Dark Lumine looks so good! Her dances were so nice!! And that Venti part got me 🙏
As a dedicated Venti main since 1.0 who has been SHOUTING his lore from the rooftops, thank you for beautifully displaying the exact point Venti fans have been point out for years!!
Benn screaming that his lore is huge and that he is fooling us all ; the hype is INSANE like this will be our I Told you so moment
finally venti getting the justice he deserves!!! you cooked with this animation and im so glad venti and istaroth lore is getting recognised, praying for venti's 2nd story quest
FINALLY AFTER YEARS!!! VENTI BEING RELATED TO ISTAROTH THEORIES ARE BECOMING POPULAR!!!!!
FINALLY WE NEEDED SOMETHING before the reveal so that people won’t be shocked ; HAMELIN DID IT ; also a LOT of lore diggers like myself forgot venti while digging into everything else while EVERYTHING ELSE IS TIED TO HIM Hoyo actually wanted us to forget about him and Hamelin thankfully reminded us !!!
i thought it was yanning (lumine cn va) singing at first but it wasnt regardless its still good!! abyss lumi goes hard and the nod at the connection between venti and istaroth (goddess of time) at the end made me happy
THE QUALITY, I see you posting the same time as Toma.
Apparently, the story of Genshi has a time paradox, in the first phase of this time paradox, Lumine overthrew the 6 archons and killed Aether (?). But he only captured Venti. Throughout the genshin community, Venti was considered weak compared to other archons, which makes it implausible that only Venti could survive. But the fact that Venti controls time(?) we see at the end of the video seems to explain a lot of things. While Genshin is a game that takes ideas from many civilizations, we haven't seen much of the Greek myths, which is one of the most popular, but in this video, Venti reminded me of nothing other than Kronos. As a result, at the end of the first phase of the time paradox Venti managed to turn back time and the 2nd phase started. Now let me tell you about a few things that have not been explained properly since the beginning of the game. The first one is Paimon: It was a theory thought by all of us that Paimon was related to Celestia, but is it ridiculous that such a person jumped out of the sea? This is what I think: While Venti was taking back time, he changed some things so that he could win a victory against Lumine in the future, for this he had to cooperate with the unknown god at the beginning of the game ( If you noticed, in the animation, this unknown god sided with the archons against Lumine) He turned the unknown god into Paimon form to compare Aether earlier.
Anyway, Paimon doesn't know where he came from and why he came out of the sea, but luckily, he has knowledge of all Teyvat, which is quite suspicious, and these confirm what I said. btw at the end of the animation, Venti implied that he knew Aether before. This confirms the time paradox, and thus the second phase of the time paradox gains meaning and connects to the present.Meanwhile, in the first phase of the time paradox, the defeat of the archons occurs simultaneously or consecutively with the destruction of Khaenri'ah. and I think the reason why Lumine is a bad person is that during the destruction of Khaenri'ah, the thing that turned the people of Khaenri'ah into Hillicurus was affecting Lumine's mind.That's my theory, thanks for reading.
Edit:Venti constantly says about himself, "I'm probably the weakest archon." This is because he couldn't save anyone in the first phase of the time paradox.
Damn I really love the idea of Astaroth and Barbatos being one
First time I've heard that theory, but it kinda doesn't really make sense to me.
Like, Istaroth is one of he Four Shining Shades, servant of the Primordial One.
If there were Seven Shades, I could see the Primordial One disguising each one as an Archon and ruling Humanity that way.
But there's only 4 and Barbatos is rather hands-off when it comes to ruling his nation. Plus, he seems to rather dislike Celestia, but that last one could just be a lie, of course.
Usually the theory is more of “venti is a shade/fragment of the god of time” rather than that he is them itself. Although his connection is relatively undeniable from the time & wind quest, to the quote “born from the branches of time”. And he definitely knows her personally since there was a time period in which she was ruled alongside him pre-aristocracy. So the theory isnt suppeerrr far fetched! Id recommend looking into it or at least watching some videos about the theory! Its interesting stuff and the points that tie them to eachother are really cool!
Also would like to add this! Forgot to initially, but when istaroth gave the design for the dainichi mikoshi (cant remember if im spelling it correCtly) to the people of enkanomiya, that was istaroth listening to the prayers of the people when they were explicitely ignored by the primordial one and other shades, which could imply that istaroth wasnt fully in sync with celestia/PO in terms of beliefs/values, which also coincides with one of your points against the theory! (Btw the point made in this comment can be cited to the in game book “the byakoyakoku collection vol.1” i think??? Not postitive) would love to here what you have to say
I think this is a 100% a second timeline Istaroth reverted Teyvat to, and maybe this caused them to become scattered into tiny wind whisps like the one Venti used to be before receiving the Gnosis. It would be a neat twist.
@@GhalanSmokeScale
Istaroth acting against the Heavenly principles and Celestia
he/she was the one who wrote the book "before the Sun and the Moon" who made Celestia so angry
he/she was the one who helped EI plant the Sakura tree against the Heavenly principles (prohibited messing with time) and Ei felt his/her immense power
We have two solutions
- Istaroth goes rogue against the Primordial and Celestia, It is now an independent entity in itself.
- The Primordial was the one who lost the war against the 2nd who came, and the latter is the ruler of Celestia
It reminds me of how in HI3rd they made all the different captains playing the game different canon timelines. I could totally see the same at the end of Genshin, Istaroth having reset the timeline millions of times, each timeline being a different playthrough of a player.
That would be cool
hoyoverse，hahaha
Well, they've said that both Lumine and Aether as Traveler are canon, so something of the sort is going on.
You know damn well Ei, Zhongli and Venti did everything they could in that fight. It's no secret their most likely the strongest, being original participants of the archon war and all.
@@S.U1399 looks like Ei and Zhongli won, difference is that Zhongli had his adepti with him and they succeeded in protecting his Liyue.
While Ei lost everything. Again.
I'm positive Venti killed people during the Archon War and when he was sent to Khaenri'ah but it probably wasn't his proudest moment. I know he's not very fond of Celestia.
@@Angel_Auraa No, Venti didn't kill anyone during the Archon War. We already know what happen for him. As far we know, only Decarabian and Andrius were fighting each other during the War. Barbatos was just here, a wisp a Thousand Wind born from Time, friend of humans. Amos killed Decarabian and Andrius willingly allowed himself to die so Barbatos could become the Anemo Archon, admitting that Barbatos will be better suited to this role. Killing doesn't fit his personality, like during the fight against Durin where he was a support for Dvalin.
@@Lirkathelibertyit seems like he's not lying that he's weak, it's just that if someone isn't good at fighting doesn't mean he's not good at supporting right? I think that's what happened to Barbatos
If im not mistaken, who get into war first is makoto (her twins) not ei. So ei was late to come to war and already saw makoto death including other archon such as guizong. Idk if the war is already finished or not when ei comes. Please tell me if someone knew the timeline.
0:32 this part made my cry a bit
If y'all wandering what lumine says to venti
It's "Kronos/Cronus" greek god of time
Its a theory since 1.0 that venti is Kronos
Maybe istaroth, god of time
Or it's "Kairos" since that is what they called Istaroth in Enkonomiya.
Istaroth, the god of time from mondstadt in the world quest
istaroth is the god of time 😭
That is interesting. Kronos is the god of time. Kairos, Istaroth's other name, is actually the god of moments.
Enkanomiya book called Istaroth as "The Moment". So that would mean that she is not the time as a whole, but a piece of the entirety.
If venti is Kronos then, that would make istaroth a part of him instead.
yall what about the last voice,i thought it was paimon but the sound just wasn’t her and the last fight was crazyyyy 5:41
ig venti?
like he turned time back and is the only one who can remember, that's why he says good to see you again
Venti. that’s his hello voice line in the game.
Mondstat chapter was the prequel of the game, so i think Mondstat will have a sequel too.
is it possible that after the tsaritsa knew of the consequences of having the gnoses collected by the abyss, she set off on collecting them herself? and considering she fell before venti "reset" time, she mightve retained her memories but is not aware of venti's true identity. maybe thats is why venti was so easily defeated by signora. he was willing to see where this route in time would go if the tsaritsa instead collected the gnoses instead of the abyss.
Oh dang what a cool theory 😮😮😮
That's an interesting theory we got here.
Wouldn't that mean all the archon are in on it because they all fell before venti.
@@silent1759 but if that was the case they would all try to save tevyet together right?
No wait, now that I think about it Zhongli did give his gnosis with his wish and others too but then arises a question: wouldn't that mean Yae Miko and Neuvillete would be aware of evrything cause they r the ones who gave the gnosis!?
@@WakingAPGamer technically speaking, gnosis itself is huge burden. Giving it to someone else than letting it stay by yourself and make you a target definitely sounds better.
1. It is the Dark Sun dimming and fading
2. It is the Thousand Winds raging across the land
3. It is the Bedrock breaking free from gravity's chain
4. It is Life, inscribed as death
Bruh she casually (re)introduced the Four Shining Shades of the Primordial One.
This. Is. CRAZY COOL AND I LOVE THE LUMINE DANCE SCENE WHILE TELLING THE DOWNFALL OF EACH NATION!!!❤❤❤❤
This man was my favorite from launch, venti will always be my favorite archon.
Now seeing zhongli being enclosed in stone, that gave me chills ngl
finally venti gets some love. he is a significant character yet everyone forgets him
This is like a trailer for an anime, it's great!
My vague interpretation:
At the start they say something: There are countless possibilities (...) is this one of thos you spoke of?
So, this could be a what if Scenario if the traveler would have never woken up ig. But also, the Khaenri'ha stuff still happened
But, this could also be the past and could have happened at some point of time (that doesn't rly exists anymore or no one can remember it. Maybe bc time got rewined.)
Like, there is this whole Venti being Istaroth (god of time) Theory going on since very much the beginning of the game. The only hints we can find about Istaroth in the over world are mostly only Mondstadt. And it has also so many things that hint to Celestia, etc. (Plus, Venti is just sus!)
But despite Venti being Istaroth or not, we know that there is a god of time, or was, at leat. There is also this Theory, since sumeru came out, that whole teyvat is inside of a Samsara, a timeloop and that history just repeats itself. Differently each time (maybe), but still not the best Outcome. So what if they wait for that best Outcome to happen?
Since, imagine the traveler wouldn't be there. Like in this vid. Who knows what would have happened?
I rly rly love this Vid btw!! Great art and music and the loreeee!
Navia did not exist 500 years ago yet she is in the video? How could this be past?
@@八ルシュ-z6v Shakoro probably meant a failed timeline when they say "past". It technically happened BEFORE, but it is still the same era and timeline
Actually venti says to us “traveler we meet again. Eh u didnt remember me?” In this last video that actually real voice of his from actual game
@@SummerDaywithyou Trueee! Tho this could be from the time we met him again at the very beginning. I am not sure tho, I would need to look this up.
Man, I just love genshin theories and esp the two original archons are the most suspicious ones. Ehm, off topic, ik
I keep watching over and over again This is a masterpiece
A very, VERY beautifully done animation. I got goosebump the moment Venti use the "Istaroth" ability against Lumine.
And also, the song is giving me GOOSEBUMP.

damn....your animation is S tier...u can make your own storyline/anime or game
Barbatos, being tied to time itself, hailing from the power of Istaroth- remembering timelines, having set us up for our journey.
People call him a lazy Archon, but he is one that will not rest until the world will truly be at peace
After all, what he wants for his children his to experience freedom as he roamed around the world. Watching everyone dance and sing to the songs he strings on his lyre.
his ideology is pretty flawed tho, he is the other extreme of raiden. Absolute freedom is chaos which is caused by the absence of order. Now it would be fine if genshin showed it as a extreme but since this is a anime game they would probably show it in a good light or wont be making him extreme . The later is just boring, and both conclusions are lazy.
@@Bloomandgrow5756 sorry if I'm misunderstanding anything: they did actually show flaws in this, in the webtoon. When the Lawrence clan took over Mondstadt, abusing the freedom that Venti gave them.
I'd say things are only so tame in Mondstadt, because they genuinelly love Barbatos, so they keep to his principles. At least most of Mondstadt. However the Knight system sure is flawed.. most things heavily rely on Jean, Diluc and Eula.
I don't think Venti likes the knight system either, but he still has this mindset that it's not big enough of an issue where he'd have to intervene as the mighty Lord Barbatos. Or something. Since well.. not much he can do as a simple bard.
In short he's basically Sans from undertale
@@Bloomandgrow5756definitely it's flawed. Which is pointed above and also why Venti let Vanessa establish a rule that time. Because it's that flawed lol that higher ups will take advantage.
Anyways, "Barbatos will only intervene if the people can't solve their own problems" is his policy. So as long as he as venti the bard can pull the strings or do underhanded tactics. (ie Forging Morax signature for the treaty, Getting to know Vanessa and helping her, using jean diluc and traveler to save dvalin) he wouldn't show up as Barbatos.
When I watched this, it made me think of Aether's journey beginning in Mondstadt, then to Liyue, then to Inazuma, then to Sumeru, then to Fontaine, then to Natlan, then to Snezhnaya, and finally Khaenri'ah.
While Aether's journey begins in Mondstadt ends in Khaenri'ah, Lumine's path of destruction begins in Khaenri'ah and ends at Mondstadt.
Wait what? Lumine journey ends in monstad... Care to explain? i am all ears🤯
Well, literally khaenriah is under sumeru, it can't be they going to snezhnaya or inazuma before sumeru-liyue-natlan
@Astyler I just saw from the video and made the theory. That plus when she puts the Anemo Gnosis on the map at Mondstadt to signify that Mondstadt will be her final destination.
@@Astyler Aside from Lumine being defeated in Mondstadt by Venti supposedly turning back time, it's also the last place she's tried to conquer
4:05 xianyun missing an arm
I've said this before and I'll say it again, Hamelin has done it again
This was definitely one of the best works I've seen from this year's genshin birthday party. The music was epic and both the 2D and 3D animation looked amazing.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this year's genshin birthday party.
The god of songs, wine and freedom.... THE RULER OF MOMENTS 😎
I’m impressed with the animation. This probably took such a long time and the song of the person who sang it also so good it was super interesting to watch.
venti is the biggest mystery in this game I can't wait to see what he does towards the end of the game or his second story quest
If he continues being this suspicious we might end up terrified of him
@@mariemarilynbp9865 no like seriously fr

THIS ANIMATION GAVE ME THE CHILLS OMFG
HOYOVERSE PAY THIS MAN
AAA !! Studio ahh quality- so good i love it..
The messed up part is "Lumine." Didn't have to do anything to Fontaine because with out the fina trial happens, the prophecy happens anyway and only Focalor is partialy alive and neuevillette is no where to be seen
This is a masterpiece! Which would imply that Venti is even more powerful than what everyone theorise, let me explain...
If Dark Lumine knew who Venti truly was (Istaroth/Chronos), why did she acted the way she did? (Mocking Venti)
Either she didn’t knew who he was until the very end, and decided to fight him anyway even if she knew by then that Venti weld the power of time. (And so that she would probably lose)
Or she knew about his real identity from the very start or mid-way, which make more sense considering how she acted, almost laughing / mocking at Venti while revealing to him that she knew who he truly is.
I think she knew, and if she knew, that mean she was content with Venti witnessing the darker timeline before resetting it. Because she assumed or knew that it wouldn't affect her current timeline where she win and Venti would only be able to affect an alternate timeline at best.
Maybe she even observed Venti to gauge his knowledge of her own plans. Once she saw he hadn't interfered, she would've known she could win in this timeline as it would not be a timeline where Venti already went back in time, and so knew what she was planning to do.
From here she could simply wipe out all the archons and leave Venti at the end as a reward to be enjoyed when she won, while trying to extract information from him as well, as she knew he poses no treat.
Now the way she acted make way more sense in that context. But here's the interesting part: (Let me cook~)
When Venti saw the firsts archons losing / dying, he probably decided to scout this timeline to the maximum length possible before resetting it in order to be prepared for the next timeline.
When Dark Lumine revealed to him that she KNEW who he truly was, then he concluded he couldn’t safely extract further information from this timeline. And he instantly started the process of time traveling (to an other timeline), without even talking to her.
This is a HUGE deductive detail. What this imply is that Venti knew from what Dark Lumine told him that she didn't knew the full extend of his powers. And that is maybe the main reason why he decided to initiate the time travel instantly, rather than trying to scout her more.That mean he had learn enough for what he was planning to do with time travel. And that staying longer would only be a risk of her understanding the extend of his true powers.
While Dark Lumine though she won while pointing her sword at him watching him escape that timeline. (As if she was saying: This is my domain, leave and don't return)
Venti won, because what Dark Lumine didn't knew and couldn't knew, is that there exist a way to merge timelines. (Ref: Sakura tree in Inasuma).
So what does that mean? Is Venti even more than just, linked to / being, the Time God?
In short if Venti waited that long doing nothing it was because he knew he could merge timelines and maybe because using his power cost a lot of energy, so he had to be sure when to use his power, and so Dark Lumine timeline can be defeated even if she won.
I like this theory, as it show truly who Venti is. But ofc this is only a theory plus it's basing itself on a fan made video, but who know, maybe they did receive some indications from Genshin and so there might be real lore in that masterpiece of a fan video. Also Pog Dark Lumine, ngl it felt satisfying as well to watch her destroy the archons one by one, and ofc Pog Venti, he is giving some very cool 5D chess vibes, like if everything was planned and under control. Btw, that's why one of his lines saying he is the weakest Archons, because he couldn't save anyone in the 1st timeline.
But I would say in the contrary that he is the STRONGEST one if he can merge timelines in addition of controlling time. If he can manipulate timelines past that power, such power is equal to Gods, and who know who Venti truly is in the end.
There’s so much to unpack from his, the lore, and the community’s theories. That make me want to try make a videos talking about all of them. Because we are only scratching the surface here.
Bonus:
Because of the vision hunt decree and without the Sakura tree to help cleansing the abyss, Raiden lose not by fighting but because all her peoples end up dying fighting except her, so she ended her as having no one to fight for.
While Zhongli end himself in order to protect Liyue by sealing it away from the world and end up winning against Dark Lumine, he is the only Archon to manage getting a win against her in the original timeline, because of his contract of protection Liyue. (Pog Zhongli)
Dam the animation is godly and the lore is deep as hell THIS DEFINITELY A MASTERPIECE
Lumine becoming a villain, it was a sad but epic moment 🔥
During Lumine's dance saying Justice, They included Navia , Lyney and Fremimet dissolving, Thats details!
Well, I always sort of suspected that the current timeline is like the most recent rendition of Teyvat. Given how unstoppable the Abyss seemed, it was confusing how they didn't already succeed, and even less so now that the other twin is also awake.
Venti sq part 2 leaked
This gives me goosbumps fr. I cant imagine how genshin would end like this
It'd be very fitting for the god of freedom to have the power to traverse through time, that way, Venti is never really trapped and will always be free
this was soo damn good. literally gave me chills watching it
no way this as only 500k views.
This animation was sickk keep up the good work !
Question for the more lore driven people. How would this alternate timeline even work exactly? The Abyss sibling mentioned in the most recent Dainsleif quest, they are weaker than him and only won, due to Dainsleif holding back. This seems to follow the same time progression as our current one. The only archons that make sense to me dying are Nahida and Furina. Nahida being either from the corruption or Scaramouche fully becoming the god we stopped and Furina because that final trial would have never happened and thus the prophecy would have happened. Assuming our sibling is taking the fight to Celestia, that would more than likely mean the end of this world. Zhongli has a contract to protect Liyue, I don't see how him not fighting the sibling right there, wouldn't be protecting Liyue, given a fight against Celestia, is more than likely going to wipe Liyue off the map. Raiden, she fought herself for 500 years non stop and her duel was at her opponent's most peak. I couldn't imagine her falling to the Abyss or even our sibling without it being pushed to a time near what she fought, as again, she was fighting nonstop against her strongest self. Venti is the wild card, hints him being much stronger than he lets off, but right now I don't believe anything is confirmed. He could fall, he could also not fall. As for the 2 archons not shown. Mauvika, while not as strong as Raiden and probably debatable between current Zhongli, is shown to be no stranger to a fight, given her fight with Capitano. Tsaritsa, we don't know her strength, but the top 3 Harbingers and maybe Arlecchino (thinking she's hiding her strength as an ace up her sleeve if needed, given the Crimson Moon in our fight with her,) aren't exactly pushovers. The other harbingers would probably fight too, minus Scaramouche after he became a god, but which lower harbingers survives that fight against the Abyss or our sibling, is up in the air. If the Abyss/sibling showed up to any of those regions to kill the archon, I just couldn't imagine our sibling taking out those remaining archons and coming out alive or even trying to fight Celestia, else they would have done it already. Right now, the Abyss is getting pushed to the side, with our focus seeming to be against the Fatui. Natlan seems to be setting up the Abyss again, but it sounds like that war between the Abyss and Natlan was before our sibling became part of the Abyss like they are now. At the start of the game, we saved Mondstadt from Dvalin, sure that's a hiccup in the Abyss plan, but I just couldn't imagine that fully stops our sibling from going all out against the archons or Celestia if they could already, given it shows both Furina and Nahida dying how they would naturally if we weren't there to fix things, it's not seeming like it's a very far off future timeline wise that should be so drastically changed.
Now, I'll admit, I'm not deep into lore, basically just what's on screen in the quests. The books and stuff you find in the overworld, I don't read that much and I don't know how long between regions in game time, is passing (is it following the yearly cycle like we wait between patches or is it sooner or further out.) The biggest outlier for me would be Raiden, because again, in her fight against herself, it was a 500 year nonstop fight to the death and she was fine. If we go off the events in nations being one year apart, Nahida would have been corrupted/killed/Scaramouche new god, 1 year later, Fontaine is hit with the primordial sea and Furina is killed. Raiden falling in battle against the Abyss anytime soon wouldn't make sense, otherwise our sibling would have made that move already if they felt they could win that fight. Not sure how quickly Zhongli would fall to corrosion, but it couldn't be as soon as the video is showing.
Probably thinking too much into it, the animation was done beautifully and I shouldn't let that be taken away from my question, just the lore side of things had me curious for how this could even play out.
its just an assumption this abyss lumine is still not kinda true and the aether sleeping and taking turns is also just pure imagination i mean they are prbly telling that lumine got corrupted was used by the sinners and killed every archon since celestia destroyed khaneriah and that it is a kind of time loop since venti said he met us before but where? so basiically in prev. timeline lumine just killed while aether slept and in new timeline also this is happening aether is awake and is exploring and lumine wh0 hints that she might be just using abyss to accomplish her goal and if you assume the fact bro fuirna cant die since neuvilette is there but she can die if fontaine submerged nahida is implied that she might die in future since if harbinger are gonna burn the tree zhongli he looks like he will break a contract since he doesnt care he can fight for his ppl and ei wont just die by abyss even i know that we have mauvika and also xbalanque with tsartisa with her minions but this is just an assumption bro dont take it too srsly enjoy
From my perspective,
1) Raiden didn't lose, her fight lasted so much that the people she was protecting were slain by the abyss leaving her no one to fight for
2) Zhongli didn't lose either. He petrified himself creating a barrier around that mountain enclosing it from the abyssal attack and successfully saved his people(exact opposite of raiden)
3) Mavuika prolly got himeko'ed. She fought on equal terms against capitano who is alot weaker than dain and abyss sibling
4) dont know bout tsaritsa enough to conclude anything but Leaks say half of the fatui gonna go against her in the archon quest so maybe abyss took advantage of that
4:37 this scene gives me goosebumps with how well its animated
Videos like this one show exactly why I love seeing Lumine as the Abyss Princess her demeanor in game as part of the Abyss more fits over the way Aether's is when he's not the character you play as. I've played as both siblings on two different accounts and have to say that Lumine's VA does an amazing job delivering her lines as the Abyss Princess but as a traveler not so much.
If you think Lumine as traveler is flat, that's only you bro 🤷♀️. Look up her voiceline with Paimon & she's as cheerful as her twin too.
@nuramenyo It's not only me bro, alot of people think the same thing as I do. It's not just the line delivery either. It's also about how her character is portrayed in the game she gives off the aura of being part of the abyss. If you see her as more of the traveler that's likely just a you thing bro. 🤷♂️
It's unbelievable! So time was rewinded to prevent such an outcome...
THIS TO IS TOO COOL SUCH A MASTER PIECE, CAN'T EVEN BARE SUCH A WORD FOR HOW GREAT THIS IS
