After taking the whole group to a specific special location, Cloud Retainer can't help but reminisce about the past events that happened. She finally told the tale of the goddess known as Guizhong, and her relationship with other key figures in Liyue like Zhongli, Streetward Rambler a.k.a. Madame Ping. This is the backstory cutscene for Lantern Rite version 3.4 (The Exquisite Night Chimes) festival anecdotes event story part 2 with the subquest "A Single Harmony for an Irreplaceable Soul" recorded in English VA and HD quality.

Zhongli’s got some kick ass DRIP like duuuuuuude that coat is fucking CLEEEEEEAN
i mean he is the god king in liyue. we dont talk about todays derp baldli tho
If it's available In game- we simps wouldn't be able to handle it
Still ugly as hell with those chopstick legs
love how i was on the verge of tears then i see this comment and the ones below 💀💀💀💀
Could this be a hint of a possible skin for him 🤔
Zhongli during daily life: Armored shoulder pads
Zhongli during battle: Hood and and geo sleeves.
The sleeves just seem to be his real arms without any clothing covering him in that part, at 1:51 you can see he has geo skin below the gloves
It's not sleeves though. His top is sleeveless. Those are his arms. His skin is literally Geo
@@loola8908 its not that deep
Well, next to others, you have to wear armor to protect yourself from being stabbed in the back by friends
@@dazz_2d that's what she said
You can't be the one to raise Shenhe and Ganyu without being a baddie

REAL
After realising that Madame Ping kept Guizhong's bell all these years made me tear up a lil 😭also they're all so pretty and Guizhong looks just how I imagined her. Imo Liyue and its characters have some of the saddest backstories in Genshin. Xiao and Zhongli's story made me cry and everything is just beautifully written. Lantern Rite is definitely my favourite Genshin update ever
It's why we met madam ping in the first place... Zhongli indeed gave them signs and signals that he didn't actually die, he just retired as an archon. I'm sure he missed bonding with them. :((
@@Ruideyl AWWWW THAT'S SO CUTE AND SAD WHAT 😭😭😭
@Rising Ei's backstory was also sad as well as Scaramouche's but personally I think Liyue has some of the best lore and everything is just beautiful (my opinion)
Lantern rite is the best event of all in genshin no questions ask
@@xerxesthegreat3544 dragonspine event :(
1. These designs are insane. That rex lapis outfit needs to be a skin
2. We got reveals for both Guizhong and cloud retainer (who may actually become playable)
3. they confirmed that the green haired figure in the 2.7 teaser was in fact a young madame ping
I love everything about this.
Maybe Cloud Retainer, but I don't think Deceased characters will be release *cough* Signora
@@kooks_22 *cough* Himeko ded
Dude need better legs,not better outfit,there is no way i use a character with chopstick lookin legs like that,skinny ugly mfs all these male units
Guizhong is dead
Leaks suggest Zhongli is going to have a skin
It might be the one we see in here (not his archon outfit)
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT CLOUD RETAINER LIKE GODDAMN SHE IS BEAUTIFUL
OHHHH SHE WAS ALREADY TALKED ABOUT DAYS AGO
THEY SAY SHE LOOKS LIKE FU HUA
One Bayonetta or Fuhua coming to order
fr absolute girlboss
She's a bird bro calm down... (jk)
I need playable cloud retainer right now!
I demand madam ping to be released!!!
yeh, i want her to climb a mountain and let her use all of the stamina in 2 seconds
@@RandomVs189 "This Character cannot climb" 💀
Yeah we no need the young skin we want the current skin
Yasss polearm queen
she finna be a 6 star
Imagine how terrifying it must have been for the gods when Ghuizong died since their energy doesn't just simply disappear and instead practically explodes out
And that personality of her. Imagine having a friend in a group who is really active, cheerful, and kind to everyone, to just... Y'know, getting killed.
@@GoldenSovereign-n1uright the way she died is so saddening
No wonder the 5 Yakshas are sealing something that will explode in 1:40
@@GoldenSovereign-n1u oh so like nina from FMA?
@@ricoshiro1135 holy shit I missed that psrt
Kinda feel bad for Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper not getting their human forms revealed 🤣🤣
Hoyo knew they would out drip zhongli
We can't have male characters here. That just won't do.
THAT HOW I'M FREAKING TALKING ABOUT IN SOME VIDEO!!!
The pattern i usually see is we get a surge of female characters and then once in a while we'll get a dude. Lol im not complaining that we have way too many females but it be nice if we did get more dudes.
Hoyo thinks anyone with no booba are second class citizens
Madam Ping and Cloud Retainer are kind of baddies
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Women stick together in these situations same with moon carver and mountain shaper as they ditched cloud in the last lantern rite for a guys hang out
2 BADDIES ONE PORSCHE
Ayo Madame ping is still a baddie
Y’all overusing the word
I love the implication every time adepti have a disagreement zhongli is called to resolve it XD
the only sane man lmao
and even Cloud Retainer bitches about him and his square cups
Zhongli: ...what is it this time?
Ghuizong: Honored Rex Lapis, I called you to witness a crime most vile. One of the Yaksha, has commited a grave sin, and made himself a thief in the eyes of the Adepti...
Bosacius: Oh, come on, you weren't eating Guoba's cookies anyway-
Ghuizong: I was saving those for later!
Bosacius: -and I heard from my sisters females are wary of growing fat, so I saved you from being unable to fit in your clothes anymore.
Ghuizong: I am a delicate flower!
Zhongli: I can already feel the migraine starting.
I mean if my memorie doesn't faul me he's the first adepti and also the king of the adepti
Optimus prime of the adepti
I did not expect Guizhong to be this cute 😭 Legit the cutest character in the whole game and MIHOYO DELETE HER FROM EXISTENCE 😭😭😭
*new copium unlocked*
Cutest? Nah there are many characters also cute
Really…? She’s basically Lumine
Tall Lumine
I legit don’t see any sort of similarity between Lumine and Guizhong other than the hair and the fact that they have something in said hair, literally everything else about their appearances is pretty different so idk how these commenters are seeing Guizhong as “basically Lumine” lol.
(Actually looking closer, Guizhong’s hair is actually in a ponytail, it isn’t even short so saying she “just Lumine” makes less sense lol)
Can we appreciate that at 1:51 ish it confirms that zhongli's skin is the rock pattern and not clothing proving that he wore a sleeveless shirt during the archon war
I just wanna say that the wearing the sleeveless shirt is true btw. The Azhdaha thing shows a cutscene of him clearly wearing a white sleeveless hood.
@@thegreatgrrr2697 it was never confirmed by mihoyo and people have been speculating over the past years ever since the Azhdaha cutscene dropped so this was a nice surprise. Imo, they saw the fan depictions and decided to keep that part in.
Yesss. It proved that Zhongli's skin of his arms really is made of Geo
@@loola8908 Thats sick. Now I wonder if his arms were like that as always or was it a side effect of him using geo powers for thousands of years? I mean with that power, there should be some kind of consequence, imo.
I wonder if he can deactivate his skin pattern whenever he wants
Finally we have the confirmation that the lady in the Guoba cutscene was actually madam ping.
Zhongli's Rex Lapis outfit is so good. I hope we'll get it as skin.
Ya know this made Cloud retainer sound like someone who wanted to hangout more but was too prideful to actually ask people to which is why she seems to talk more about madame ping and guizhong hanging out like odd how she always sees and knows what the two are doing but aren't with them
She's still like that. Watching her kids play with us and all while she looks from afar 😁
Yeah she is a total tsundere
I NEED MADAME PING AND CLOUD RETAINER TO BE PLAYABLE
Cloud retainer has been leaked to be playable
@@me-pl8lg Questionable, not guaranteed. I'll put money on it that she's not gonna be playable. That leak was talking about this event and took a mind of its own, the same was said before Shenhe leaked.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks maybe in years when we go back to liyue for more archon quests lmao
@@me-pl8lg give source then.
@@KillingMachine56656 nah, there's no other liyue archon quest, its already levealed in chapter storyline video where we're gonna go in the future archon quest
Zhongli's robe just looks Majestic the perfect fit for the King of Adepti.
2:27 second strongest weapon after dull blade actually mega op. So powerful even geo daddy could only use it once 🥵
is that the white tassel? Tbh, it is not a bad choice for a beginner
@@ar_greyheart471 my man zhongli was farming slime condensate it seems 😭💀💀
@@lambykin842 Black Tassel is the one with the slime passive.
It is the Liyue standard, after all
I think that it was ping putting her weapon away with guizhongs Bell
GUIZHONG IS FINALLY HERE!
Nope she is dead
@@soowhat181 HSGAHAVJSHD
@@soowhat181 hate because she want childe x zhongli
@@MiRaSenSei974 what?
@@MiRaSenSei974 That's the biggest stretch I've seen, I mean, maybe they are saying that cuz she _is_ dead in lore.
That voice acting is impeccable. Very emotional
1:38 Her death is still so interesting, did she turn to stone?? What are all the Yaksha doing there? And what's all that energy above her (maybe they were containing the god-death-explosion)? I wonder if the corruption theory still has any weight, and how her last moments with Zhongli happened 😭
Possible order of events: She’s in the Glaze lily field with Zhongli, then she turns to stone (maybe Zhongli does it, corruption theory idk), then everyone arrives, contains the explosion, then the statue dissipates into the “finest dust”
Reminder: the weak god who was murdered by her people and petrified Sal Terrae was Havria, God of Salt. She was never part of the Guili Assembly.
She didn't turn to a rock exactly..thats salt,a rock if salt
From the description of memory of dust : Guizhong's body reduced into the finest dust.
@@jin-xx wasn't that Havria who turned to salt?
@@ar_greyheart471 Ya. Even then, she turned everyone ELSE into salt while she died
@@LISA.WANG. but its still not Guizhong. They are different characters
1:30-1:48 if you look real close you can see the five yaksha as they are sealing something after Guizghong’s death
nice eye!
As the rules of Teyvat state, even when killed, the will and energy of gods will always remain in the world. Perhaps they are sealing the last will of Guizhong, so that it won't return to harm the human world.
That is Osial
maybe it's like it was with the god of salt - the energy that gods have that is released after they die
@@maniawalker724 most likely. No one wants a dust storm wiping out the inhabitants of Guili plains
im in awe man, the art in this game is everything
bro i literally cried watching this like WHY COULDNT HOYOVERSE GIVE ZHONGLI A GOOD TIME FOR ONCE
We all want his skins

@@DemonKingOfSalvation9158 😭😭😭
What makes me admire Zhongli is that no matter what happens, how much he suffers and loses the people he loves, he always moves forward without looking back and having regrets for the past, Guizhong and Azdhaha should be proud of their old friend, Best archon
Oka, firstly, i NEED that Rex Lapis clothes as a skin for Zhongli. It looks so cool. Secondly, i did not expect Guizhong to look like that :0 Her design looks so good! Thirdly, Madame Ping’s Adeptus name “Streetward Rambler” sounds so funny XD Lastly, i wish Mihoyo gives more attention to Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver :(( It’s been forever since we’ve last talked to them.
So that's what Guizhong looks like. I thought she'd look as mature as Zhongli though tbh. Also on Zhongli, his arms really aren't made from flesh, just Geo material or Cor Lapis? Interesting, maybe that's why he always wears long sleeves so nobody would notice that.
Guizhong in the beta. She was often talks to Zhongli in their stroll about how she wanted to guide and protect humanity as she is giggling with childlike happiness. She often pranked Zhongli (thats how Glaze Lilies were born). I guess this hints made me think that Guizhong is actually cheerful but wise god if things get serious.
I kinda know that Zhongli isn't just made of flesh. I always depicted Zhongli was made of purest form of Cor Lapis and other minerals such as Iron, Jades, and especially Gold.
@@ViperDivinity guizhong reminds me of hutao
From what i've understood archons' body compositions were made up of pure energy of their respective elements. Like how venti was once a wind spirit , ei was the incarnation of lightning and nahida was made of a branch out from irminsul. No wonder Zhongli's arms aren't just made from flesh. For me he's just a walking geo itself.
@@チュンチュン丸-u4s So Venti would feel like a ghost if you touch him, and Ei would probably inadvertently kill you if you touch her or at least unintentionally knock you out.
Zhongli could shapeshift so whatever appearance he goes by depends on him.
So the predictions from long ago was correct. The white haired spear lady in that artwork cutscene WAS madame ping.
the bell already gave it away, we had no idea who the bell was originally from too
Always have been
i find it really interesting the fact that they dont show zhongli´s face in any of the past cutscenes with him

@@kayla7242 .....taste the same
@@majin5961 as i remember..
But where are those...
Who share….
In fact Liyue lore is the best of the game for me
Chinese Company for you
true
i'm in love with guizhong but most importantly
ZHONGLI'S GEO ARMS WERE REVEALED CANON
Maybe thats just clothing too?
@@blattsee6095 no, you can see his skin underneath his sleeves when he hands the bell to ping too
I cant imagine how zhongli looks like seeing guizhong like that
i need mhy to release a cutscene or monologue of zhongli's POV of that time
Platonic?? Obviously
This one will probably happen in Anime
@@blueotan you kinda misunderstood. OP was asking how zhongli felt when he saw guizhong's lifeless body.
@@blueotan bro took it out of context.
I always expected guizhong to be this elegant woman, never thought she would look so energetic.. I still really like her tho, sad she couldn't have had a better ending :(
I just love you for not putting any watermark on cutscenes thank you
If they make Madame Ping a playable character, I hope her weapon is the Bell from Guizhong or the guqin that was on her back. Maybe we get a side story that makes us meet the younger version of madame ping.
Why not both characters these days seem to have different weapons on their normal attack
The bell could be like her skill or burst
it would be an E or Q. she's a polearm wielder as per Guoba's animation
its been said that adepti can take on multiple forms as they like, and madame ping just prefers the appearance of an old grandma after guizhong's death. soooo, who knows. maybe.
High unlikely, so far there is no evidence of time travel, her bell might become a weapon but possibly for an upcoming 5 star liyue character?
Guizhong is so... GODDAMN CUTEEEEEE
she is literally lumine clone
@@atharvakpatil Long sleeves + cute face + long hair + grey hair + best girl
@@OkiSuwen not my type but sure whatever suits you. I prefer cloud retainer and madam pings design much much more
Are we still allowed to think that there MAY have been something between her and morax?
@@atharvakpatil yasss!
FINALLY! We know how Guizhong look like
Looks like Sushang (I forgot to spell her name) and Fu Hua from Honkai 😂😂💀 Not that it’s a bad thing, I just noticed it
As a huge Fu Hua and Li Sushang fan I need them both playable immediately because of that
@@Dew_Spring unfortunately they we won't get playable li sushang here for obvious reasons
But there is still Mona bcuz of Chen Ting Ting
But Fu Hua retainer, keep your hopes up boi
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 Yeah dumb lore stuff gatekeeping characters from being playable, hopefully we get Cloud Retainer in her human form in the story because I need genshin Fu Hua
Sushang but like... Silverwing Bronya coloured hair
@@Dew_Spring right
oh no it was so sad i cried.... and the yakshas!!!
Guizhong being a cinnamon roll genius and Cloud Retainer a tsundere school teacher.
I never would’ve guess guizhong looked that way I thought she’d look like ningguang its tearing me apart to think how the other adeptus must’ve felt when she died a bag of energy like her is unforgettable
Madam Ping's Youth voice at the end! Omg!
Zhongli: a cool and great leader
Guizhong: a curious and happy co worker
Madame ping: a saddened friend
Cloud retainer: strict secretary
Makes me wonder if Madame Ping is actually old or is that her just changing her appearance
With the mindset of chinese mythology, she probably just assumed an old and frail form just to lay low. Managed to mentor yanfei, xiangling, and yaoyao this way. Even gave us a massive powerbuff during osial fight.
maybe Madame ping's a Half Human half Adeptus. cause if she just transformer her Serenate tea pot wouldn't fill so many spiders. and she shouldn't forgot where guizhong bell hidden.
@@loafbreadizwholesomeuwu1555 good theory. But the Cleansing Bell can be easily explained that Madame Ping doesn't even bother looking at it, because it reminds of Guizhong's lifeless body.
uhh adeptus don't age, it is stated in the quest
I am pretty sure she chooses to look old. Remember even Ganyu, who is only half adepti, is thousands of years old. I don't think adepti actually physically get old. They seem to very much chose their form.
mygod another gem of a story. also, why do Zhongli always have awesome wardrobe, fanarts will again be flooding with his new suit
Lantern Rite’s always got a way to remind me why Liyue’s my favorite region in the game
Why I think there's a possibility of Cloud Retainer and Madam Ping being playable
- In the cutscene, they revealed Streetward Rambler to have a voice actor
- Streetward Rambler was showed to us previously in a cutscene around 2.X patch where all human forms characters showed were playable.
- In the Lantern Rite quest, it is suggested that Cloud Retainer may move to the city eventually so she'll need a human form to blend in
- At the end of the Lantern Rite quest, Madam Ping played the melody her and Guizhong composed that she had only played once before. This may hint at Ping's shift in behavior/belief and maybe she becomes inclined to transform back into her young self in the future.
Cloud retainer is confirmed to be playable in the future, but not sure about Madame Ping
CLOUD RETAINER OMG OMG OMG SHE’S SO FINE, LITERALLY THE FINEST IN GENSHIN I CANNOT
I like how even the yakshas are here trying to stop Guizhong from destroying guili plains
Rather the opposite, they found her dead husk in the Guili plains.
For those wondering about 1:38
I believe the yakshas are sealing the excess energy that comes from a dying god (this case ghuizhong) to prevent it from becoming festering anger or flood the land in a final burst of power.
Liyue stories are just so good, gives of nostalgic vibes
I'll admit I'm kinda hardened to emotional scenes since I've been through a lot, but I actually found myself tearing up a little. I guess it might be connected to losing a pet I've had since childhood, but the way it was plated out managed to get to me a lot more than anything else
It's very pleasent to finally see her. She's been mentionned everywhere, and she's finally here ! But I must admit that I'am a bit sad that she didn't have so much interactions with Zhongli in this event. She was his "beloved friend" And I thought we would see them walking in a field filled of glaze lillies. That's too bad, maybe this story will be for another day !
Goizhong is so pretty!!!
100000/10 would pat
OMGGGG THE OUTFIT OF ZHONGLI IS SO SLAYY IM GONNA BUY IT IF IT COME IN GAME 💅🏻✨💅🏻
0:36 That beautiful and heartwarming smile really speaks volumes about her. Wish we can know about her more in the future
Guizhong is finally revealed!! Now I can finally draw her with zhongli as a couple!! 🥺🥺🥺
FINALLY! DO TELL ME IF YOU DREW THEM ALREADY, I WANT TO SEE THEM!!
If you do, please post it and send the link I'm dying to see fanart
Man, cloud retainer human form gives me the bayonetta vibe
the be a true possibility thanks to bayo 3 😁
Did y’all realise inside guizhong’s sleeves it’s a universe
If the Rex Lapis drip doesn't become a skin in-game, I'm suing.
Damn I wonder how zhongli feels....about all this..
Depression
GUZHONG MUST BECOME PLAYABLE!!!!!! Also madam ping as well and cloud retainer!!!! Justice for zhongli's wafius!!!!!
If the meaning of Zhongli's name is indeed Passing Bell, this story hurts even more :'(((((
Man we have to wait til 2025 to get to play the gilf madam ping, Streetward Rambler.
Cloud retainer simps already saving for her eventual release in 2027
zhongli definitely biased
pretty sad when youre into the lore and read the guizhong books and crap. the lore did seem to suggest zhongli had feelings for her too, thats the worst part
zhongli's drip omggggg
2:31 BRO THIS LINE HAS SO MUCH EMOTION IM GONNA 😭😭
zhongli's drip tho-
Mommy, I mean mommy, I mean cloud retainer ?!?!?!
I love this story, but also hate how they didn't include Zhongli in Guizhong discussion.
we don't know his perspective yet. based on leaks, Zhongli will tell us about Soraya's research later (Soraya researched about what happened in Guili Plains. it is also a confirmation that Zhongli's friend is actually Soraya not Alhaitham lmao)
I love their animatics help me it's so beautiful I'm in tears
And after that zhongli gone berserk and won the war
And now she's a playable character. This year passed so fast...
0:23 A smile we can all agreed must be protected but... 😭
Well, I'm going to RIP that enemy a new one if we are going to encounter them...
Unfortunately Zhongli's shield broke when he needed it most.
@@DanielGomes-hz4hu When he found her she was already dying
@@mdraj5655
I know that
Madame ping after being left alone after these years makes me so sad :(
After remembering what the Goddess of Dust gave to the people of Guili Assembly, and who she is to Zhongli.
It really breaks Rex Lapis, she will always be the one for Zhongli.
The Lover Oath…
Still headcanon that fans made up they were never lovers. The story clearly shows it’s about Madame Ping and Guizhong.
BRO THEY WERE NOT LOVERS JUST FRIENDS "FRIEND" NOT LOVER STOP THIS
Guizhong kinda reminds me of Lumine. They're both sweet and joyful
Why zhongli is always faceless in those cutscene 😭😭
This is where Ningguang is Guizhong's reincarnation theory officially ends. Remember Ningguang is her own self, not a dead god's remains.
Theory ended when yunjin was released because she uses glaze lily mats
@@noobiedesu4814 Not really. There are remnants of people who believe Ningguang is Guizhong since we don't have reference for Guizhong's physical appearance. Only to confirm it today.
cloud retainer looks like what I've imagine... Stern teacher look (glasses and sharp) but has soft spots for children under her care...
🤓 Cloud Retainer looks intellectual and stunning! She reminds me of what I admire in Lisa.
omg the adepti are cute in human form.
Madame Ping.... 😭😭😭 I missed her... I need to go back liyue to talk to her.
I know we have some requests here :
1. Turn Madame Ping to her younger age once again and make her as playable character!!
2. Turn Cloud retainer to humanly form and make her as playable character!!
3. Bring Guizhong back to life and ... wait they never brings back dead characters, damn
Zhongli: I'm just a mediator but I can't upset my girlfriend.
1:38 the five yakshas
The more i see all this character in the past and how gorgeous their design in the cut scene.
the more i am convince that we will travel to the past at some point to uncover the truth.
at this time, this character gonna be playable.
Guizhong looks like Grey Haired Lumine....
Ain't no way people ship her with madame ping now
I don't mind people shipping but the fact that people HATED guizhong for getting in the way with zhongchi but now everyone suddenly loves her now that a gay ship with her exists 💀💀
@@hangezoesfeet the genshin community and their obsession of forcing everyone to be gay 💀
I want ALL Zhongli's skins!! The Archon War skin and this coat! 😭❤❤❤
I think I'm the only one that thinks cloud retainers human form looks she would be shenhes mom or sister
i mean she did raise her so it’s safe to assume that shenhe’s (and ganyu’s) outfits were designed by her as well
She basically is lmaoo
@@rei9376 Ya
Every lantern rite every backstory hits hard
The transition from young madame ping to old madame ping made my heart shatter.😭
GUIZHONG X MORAX FOR THE GO
@1:10 Why did I laugh so bad at Zhongli confiscating Guizhong's bell coz of disagreement with their friend... 😂😂
A wise man once said “If the daughters are not available (Ganyu and Shenhe) then their mother you shall chase after.”
