So without his Gnosis Zhongli can’t create mora anymore? Oh boy I can probably imagine the scene Venti: Hey! Long time no see! Care to lend some Mora? Zhongli *IN TERMS OF MORA-...*

The fatui did a great job in here persuading him to hand over his gnosis through a contract instead of fighting him 🤣 they know that they don't stand a chance against him 🤣
Paimon: Did you set some greens for yourself ? Zhongli: Well, that's a good idea. Though too bad Paimon: Too bad what ? Zhobgli: Too bad you just told me that now
@@justanordinaryguy._.7399 I don’t think the commenter is criticizing him for holding up his end of the contract, I think they are criticizing Zhongli for even offering up his gnosis to trade with a hostile foreign power in the first place
@Yk On The Tsaritza commands the Fatui, most of their nefarious actions are by her orders. Trading it to her is just as bad, thus I’ll have to disagree with your conclusion that Zhongli isn’t dumb ...... unless it turns out that her’s and the fatui’s goal is actually a noble one, but we are still waiting on that information (aside from some vague statements about overthrowing their world’s god). In the meanwhile, their methods and actions are insidious and hostile, and trusting them with a gnosis is crazy.
I’ve read what I was able to find, and none of it proved that she and the fatui are the good guys. If there is essential reading I am missing, please share a link. firstly, the fatui Cicin mages, agents, and skirmishers keep trying to kill us on sight, and interfering with foreign affairs (as seen in mondstadt) so yes they are hostile. Period. Secondly, I’m not sure if childe or is a reliable source of information in this regard. Scheznaya is based on Russia. Russia has state propaganda that encourages blind loyalty, reverence, and misinformation for their leadership, Specifically for Putin. Who is to say the Tsartitza isn’t using similar methods to brainwash the scheznayan populace? Is Childe’s account accurate, or is he just drinking the cool aid? Time will tell. Thirdly, you’re assuming that just because she WAS good, means she can’t be a villain. Fictional media is full of stories in which a good person was corrupted into becoming a villain (ie Anakin skywalker/darth vader). The events you describe sound traumatizing, and I have no doubt they traumatized her. Trauma can lead to mental illness, which can feed questionable actions and behaviors if left untreated. So I can certainly believe she was a good person, and I can certainly believe her experiences twisted her into being a bad person, or at least a heavily misguided person. We’ll see if that is the case. Finally, I was assuming the “benefit” to Rex lapis’s contract with Tsaritza was having the fatui participate in his “test”, doesn’t mean anyone else benefits from giving her his gnosis.

Well there are some theories that, Venti already warned the other 6, I don't actually think they just gonna hand gnosis over like that, and Venti seemed to be weaker than that of Signira. Some say that Zhongli and Venti are tricking the harbingers. Or a whole other option that the Archons just want to give up the god thing and let humanity take over. Well either way, there is a theory that the Gnosis Zhongli gave was fake and that the Gnosis Signora stole from Venti was also fake.

Isn't mora a resource though? i gets used up and disapears right its not just traded. And its canonically used to enhance wapons and such, this is awful for the ppl of teyvat.
@@rikymarty3907 Mora as enchantment material is not canon. Zhongli said it by himself, just wait till you play zhongli story quest. You litterally ask the same question like the npc ask to zhongli in that story. Zhongli said mora is simply just a catalist for trading not some magical shit, which means he create mora as a payment method.
@@rifarira9160 This is wrong. You misunderstood the story quest, because they actually say the opposite. Zhongli only corrects the archaeologist about the use of the *first* mora. The archaeologist Hanxue specifically says that mora is used in weapon enhancement. He's not saying it as speculation as it's not just something that happened in the past, it's something that even happens in the present in order to enhance weapons. Also, one of the in game tips: "It's a catalyst of sorts, in that it is a medium for *physical transformation*. That is why so many things can only be accomplished through the use of Mora" So you not have to worry about the characters potentially being wrong about their facts, because even the game literally confirms that it is used as a catalyst for physical transformation. Check the wiki or lore discussions on reddit if you want to do some research for yourself.
@@aceovyn I like his japanese voice too, but his english voice is really impressive. I'm glad I watched this video in english though because I found the reveal to be hard to understand in japanese (maybe because eng is my native language) but it seemed like Childe was more angrier and I was able to sympathize with him, while Zhongli sounded somewhat indifferent in both dubs. idk if what I said made any sense DX
Looking back into this from Fontaine… I think what zhongli was offered in return was the assurance that celestia would be destroyed, if zhongli is a primordial creature that knows the truth of this world
we're heading to the 6th nation already and we still don't know what he made a deal with maybe at the 7th is where everything gets answered and more questions pop up
Judging by what Zhongli said about Inazuma, I’m surprised at how historically accurate it is to Japan in the Tokugawa era. Inazuma being closed off seems to be a reference to “Sakoku” in the Tokugawa Shogunate where Japan closed off its borders (excluding Dejima I believe to certain nations) and the vision hunt being sort of a reference to Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s sword hunt where he confiscated swords from his enemies to make sure nobody can rebel against him after uniting Japan.
@@starlight9447 you know there are sides in the rite ground that have pool in it right and because of our limited pov people only run toward zhongli and forget that there are pools there and voila they just slip into the water
" as for the bargaining ship that the Tsaritsa use to balance the scales... uncover that answer for yourself in your future journeys." who else think this is basically them saying "well fuck, we don't know what could worth as much as the Gnosis. maybe if we just push it off, the player may forget about it over time."
@@finnheisenheim8274 if all else fails with the tsarista's plan well.... Unknown God/Sustainer Of Heavenly Principals: no matter where you go no matter where you hide i am only getting closer....
There’s clearly a bigger threat out there that every major faction is somewhat aware of and are beginning to mobilize and prepare defenses and retaliation against said threat, Zhongli definitely made a contract for his Gnosis knowing full well what the conditions of that contract will be fair, which is one of his “beliefs” in what defines a contract. Though I love that some of these comments don’t have the foresight to think beyond “zhongli dumb he gave his gnosis to bad guy fatui!!” There is clearly something beyond what we know so far, 1.4 was essentially the start of the story’s rising arc. If Mihoyo’s HI3 is anything to go by, they’re definitely thinking about the long road ahead.
I wonder if the Fatui has actually tried to approach Venti before? Headcanon 1 (crack): The Fatui actually just got pissed at chasing around wisps of rumors of Venti for YEARS because he's a pain in the ass to catch, so the Stormbringer plot was actually Plan F: Fuck 'Em All. Headcanon 2 (serious): They might have met with Venti but didn't manage to come to any accord, because Barbatos is after all the god of freedom, and Barbatos has had to deal with People With Too Much Power twice (tyrant, then the Aristocracy) so he booked it the moment he heard Tsaritsa wanted to bring them all under one banner or something. Granted, I don't think the Fatui and Tsaritsa are nice people, but they're clearly not incorrigible villains.
Venti/barbatos=wants wine Zhongli/morax=wants Mora (Atleast that what I heard) Now it's the immortal shogun/electro Archon turns now what is his identity and what his likes
Soooo, we're just gonna willingly give the assumed to be bad guys the thing they need to do whatever bad thing it is they're planning??? Zhongli better have a good reason for thinking that's remotely close to a good idea
Remember that Childe had no knowledge of the deal and was willing to throw an ENTIRE NATION to the Sharks for the sake of his Orders. I really don't understand what people like about this guy...
Damn Aether: (I still have time to take it back) Paimon: No you need to collect all the 7 elements or Signora will “yeet” you Childe: Don’t fight Signora or Traveler will “yeet” you like he “yeet’d” me Now I understand why the Fatui wanted Aether to join the harbingers
I think Venti & Zhongli already give the real gnosis to the traveler when the traveler get the power from their archon statue .. maybe will be a surprise the gnosis Zhongli give to Signora is an empty gnosis
Theres some hidden meanings in character demo of zhongli, i noticed some dragon in the lower screen flying left, like rex lapis. So it got connection with zhongli, hes rex lapis.
Considering the theme baal is going to have. It really makes sense, since japan did have a bloody civil war during the confiscation of swords at the end of the samurai era
Paimon: Did you at least set private fund for yourself? Zhongli: Oh, private fund? It's a shame, I didn't think of it at that time! Me: For a 6,000 years old God, and great schemer, you sure are foolish. Now, you're going to be known as Morax the moraless, alongside Barbatos, the drunken bard.
Tsaritsa is preparing to wage war on celestia and zhongli knows about it. Truth to be told Zhongli's gnosis was the only gnosis that was given peacefully and the one which was given by the respective archon on their terms. Going as per the the Lore of the archon war, it is safe to say even the fatui are wary of morax's power and hence tsaritsa was directly involved in the exchange of the geo gnosis. Also, from zhongli's story quest, we know zhongli is hiding something regarding khanrieah from the traveller which he himself confirmed that he can't tell because he is bound by some sort of contract. Long story short, zhongli supports the Cryo Archon to lock horns with celestia
@@Eligaming0603 This is also confirmed in the 5.1 trailer when capitano said to ororon that "We have to make a decision for mavuika, humanity must be saved at all cost". Also as we have seen since fotaine rolled out, the fatui harbingers are actually trying to save the nations in which they are assigned missions, so much so that the knave even took the permission from the tsaritsa to use the hydro gnosis to save fontaine before handing it over to snezhnaya. I strongly believe of all the people in teyvat, atleast the traveller should actually see the tsaritsa as an ally. The enemy (fatui) of my enemy (celestia) is my friend.
i get it if zhongli wants a break but giving the gnosis away was the worst possible thing he could of done. to the fatui especially. To be honest the gnosis is only truly safe in the hands of zhongli because think about it: Fatui-want to dominate teyvat. Qixing: are humans and with the power of a gnosis will eventually become corrupt Adepti: are probably the best option but maybe a bit too "overdramatic" because from what i remember when they first found out that rex lapis was dead their first thought was to destroy liyue. so basically what im saying is i dont think the adepti would be very happy having the power of a gnosis but not being needed by the people of liyue. other than that i can't really think of anyone else to give it to. maybe if he gave it to another archon then liyue would be under their rule and under their ideal and liyue would fall apart because there are no more contracts. Sorry for making this really long and thanks for coming to my ted talk
Just image, Aether/Lumine would like done this frfr. Running, falling into the water, everyone like running to the edge, looking if they’re fine, Zhongli just looking at them like 👁️👄👁️ and Traveler just climbing out and keep running like nothing happened, Paimon being like: “Why are you getting all excited about a broke archon?” aaahahah
5:19 Dunno if it has already mentioned in the comment section but here I am Don't read my comment if you didn't watch the trailer or preview page for version 2.4 Is that foreshadowing ? You get the Encore you wanted after so many updates ! Zhongli !
Agreed. I understand why he wanted to test whether Liyue could take care of itself without him, but trading away his gnosis to a hostile foreign power is just flat out stupid.
It doesn't help that during his story quest, it sounded like he had a bit of doubt in trading away his gnosis before reminding himself about his contract. Honestly, I don't see the Tsaritsa holding up her end of the deal in the end.

@@rifarira9160 This is wrong. You misunderstood the story quest, because they actually say the opposite. Zhongli only corrects the archaeologist about the use of the *first* mora. The archaeologist Hanxue specifically says that mora is used in weapon enhancement. He's not saying it as speculation as it's not just something that happened in the past, it's something that even happens in the present in order to enhance weapons. Also, one of the in game tips:
"It's a catalyst of sorts, in that it is a medium for *physical transformation*. That is why so many things can only be accomplished through the use of Mora"
So you not have to worry about the characters potentially being wrong about their facts, because even the game literally confirms that it is used as a catalyst for physical transformation. Check the wiki or lore discussions on reddit if you want to do some research for yourself.

Zhongli's VA sounds soooo nice...
Ikrrr
Nicer than the Japanese in my opinion. His voice is more deep and it is soothing.
yep that's it
@@aceovyn Agreed.
If you close you're eyes when he speaks you can fall asleep
@@aceovyn I like his japanese voice too, but his english voice is really impressive. I'm glad I watched this video in english though because I found the reveal to be hard to understand in japanese (maybe because eng is my native language) but it seemed like Childe was more angrier and I was able to sympathize with him, while Zhongli sounded somewhat indifferent in both dubs. idk if what I said made any sense DX
Zhongli: mora is named after him
Also Zhongli: doesn't have mora
fr 😂
WHY IS PAIMON THROWING SHOTS AT ZHONGLI. LMAO
Well she isn't wrong. Zhongli acting like a parasite and spending money he doesn't have without batting an eyelash
I love Childe's angry voice
yeah but remember jet from avatar? after his antics i will never trust chidle again
Zhongli just pranked everyone
Looking back into this from Fontaine… I think what zhongli was offered in return was the assurance that celestia would be destroyed, if zhongli is a primordial creature that knows the truth of this world
Childe: "Nothing personal"
Me: B!tch, you tried to kill me, it's time to return the favor
I never liked Childe honestly
we're heading to the 6th nation already and we still don't know what he made a deal with
maybe at the 7th is where everything gets answered and more questions pop up
Judging by what Zhongli said about Inazuma, I’m surprised at how historically accurate it is to Japan in the Tokugawa era. Inazuma being closed off seems to be a reference to “Sakoku” in the Tokugawa Shogunate where Japan closed off its borders (excluding Dejima I believe to certain nations) and the vision hunt being sort of a reference to Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s sword hunt where he confiscated swords from his enemies to make sure nobody can rebel against him after uniting Japan.
A contract to end all contracts - best statement for retirement.
i love how most people always slip into water before they meet zhongli lol
Wdym.

" as for the bargaining ship that the Tsaritsa use to balance the scales... uncover that answer for yourself in your future journeys."
who else think this is basically them saying "well fuck, we don't know what could worth as much as the Gnosis. maybe if we just push it off, the player may forget about it over time."
Its just baseless speculation and rumor, but zhongli might have agreed to a contract for the tsaritsa to destroy celestia
@@finnheisenheim8274 if all else fails with the tsarista's plan well....
Unknown God/Sustainer Of Heavenly Principals: no matter where you go no matter where you hide i am only getting closer....
why do i have the feeling that signora has a connection to the tsaritsa besides being one of her harbingers, like being the tsaritsa herself (?) idk
Yeah it feels like that, maybe theyre related
@@Trashy-Kun she is cryo.... So...
Well, there's no way Childe walks up to the Tsaritsa and say "I'm not gonna share a boat with the likes of you"
There's also no way venti wouldn't recognize her.
i mean that crown on her head is kinda sus, princess maybe?
15:42 paimon... i feel attacked 😬
Same...
That was one of Paimons savage af moments xD
Ouch
There’s clearly a bigger threat out there that every major faction is somewhat aware of and are beginning to mobilize and prepare defenses and retaliation against said threat, Zhongli definitely made a contract for his Gnosis knowing full well what the conditions of that contract will be fair, which is one of his “beliefs” in what defines a contract. Though I love that some of these comments don’t have the foresight to think beyond “zhongli dumb he gave his gnosis to bad guy fatui!!” There is clearly something beyond what we know so far, 1.4 was essentially the start of the story’s rising arc. If Mihoyo’s HI3 is anything to go by, they’re definitely thinking about the long road ahead.
I wonder if the Fatui has actually tried to approach Venti before?
Headcanon 1 (crack): The Fatui actually just got pissed at chasing around wisps of rumors of Venti for YEARS because he's a pain in the ass to catch, so the Stormbringer plot was actually Plan F: Fuck 'Em All.
Headcanon 2 (serious): They might have met with Venti but didn't manage to come to any accord, because Barbatos is after all the god of freedom, and Barbatos has had to deal with People With Too Much Power twice (tyrant, then the Aristocracy) so he booked it the moment he heard Tsaritsa wanted to bring them all under one banner or something.
Granted, I don't think the Fatui and Tsaritsa are nice people, but they're clearly not incorrigible villains.
1:56
Notice a sigh from zhongli
he clearly didn't want us to know either
Yeah Who would've guessed Lol
Venti/barbatos=wants wine
Zhongli/morax=wants Mora (Atleast that what I heard)
Now it's the immortal shogun/electro Archon turns now what is his identity and what his likes
the electro archon is female,
@@kobeferreras9798 oh is that so OK sorry I can't even update the genshin impact of mine but I won't delete it
and actually morax wants to retire lol
The electro archon wants vision 🤣
Electro archon is a SHE
When Zhongli started accepting question I know he gonna disappear like Venti and I just feels bad and stand beside him till sunrise.
Soooo, we're just gonna willingly give the assumed to be bad guys the thing they need to do whatever bad thing it is they're planning??? Zhongli better have a good reason for thinking that's remotely close to a good idea
I legit got childe and zhongli, iconic.

Brace yourselves, deflation is coming
that merchant zhongli overheard would have a really hard time in liyue from now on lol 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝

Shantay you stay, now sashay away 💅
Traveler: Oh... I thought you were dead
Zhongli: my death was... greatly exaggerated
As I look more into Signoras appearance..she resembles the same eye color and hair color as Jeannes and Barbara? Coincidence? I think not...
A mere coincidence. Just like how paimon has a resemblance to the unknown god
Their mom is with the Favonius Knights, their Dad is with the Church.
@@gemb9175 What-
Remember that Childe had no knowledge of the deal and was willing to throw an ENTIRE NATION to the Sharks for the sake of his Orders. I really don't understand what people like about this guy...
Cryo archon? Oh boy a new whole world piece is gonna be delievered
Who else is just here to hear zhongli's deep voice? 😆 Truly a voice worthy of a god.
Ima kidnap signora be right back...
*La Signora: Went Up In Flames*
0:27 Who knows where are you looking at.
There's been better camera angles
Ningguang: Performs
Zhongli: *"What A Drama Queen"*
Childe just being absolutely pissed that Zhongli and Signora lied to him is amazing
What amazing do u see😅?
@@Yin_Yu- amazing as in it's funny kakksjaa
Damn
Aether: (I still have time to take it back)
Paimon: No you need to collect all the 7 elements or Signora will “yeet” you
Childe: Don’t fight Signora or Traveler will “yeet” you like he “yeet’d” me
Now I understand why the Fatui wanted Aether to join the harbingers
Wait really? pls tell me at what part they wanted Aether to join them, I skip dialogues
That agent in Mondstad’s church
Ah yes that harmless fatui, he seems not liking being a fatui just wanna go home
Haha, Signora, riiight…
rip bozo😊
Paimon: What could be a good trade for a Gnosis?
Zhong Li: Signora let me clap them cheeks
Hahaha I know I'm late but daang he got his priorities straight
I think Venti & Zhongli already give the real gnosis to the traveler when the traveler get the power from their archon statue .. maybe will be a surprise the gnosis Zhongli give to Signora is an empty gnosis
I have a question.
Can Zhongli age now and maybe even die?
@@ghost_cat5693 In genshin history all God & adeptus die by battle, so we still don't know they can die cause by age
Wait that might make sense 😮
Not gonna lie, Signora’s Catalys looked like a 5 stars to me
Theres some hidden meanings in character demo of zhongli, i noticed some dragon in the lower screen flying left, like rex lapis. So it got connection with zhongli, hes rex lapis.
Considering the theme baal is going to have. It really makes sense, since japan did have a bloody civil war during the confiscation of swords at the end of the samurai era
F to everyone who saw this and didn't get to the archon quest yet. You have to stop spoiling the story I really liked it when it was a surprise.
I mean its pretty obviuos and people can ignore it.
@@Trashy-Kun That just means I'm retarded and didn't know XD Also I saw the title out of the corner of my eye

when i saw a ad that included this guy i was thinking is this rex lapis
"So young"

Man really skipping the dialogue of the guy and madame ping while Ying'er is completely let her say her words. That's a cultured man for you
well now we all know zhongli’s secret lol
Fucking hell that beginning notification scared me for a second
Hahaha sorry
When he talks about the Qixing, is he considering Keching as the one who called the shots?
Thank you for upload it, I've always wanted to look back.
Paimon: Did you at least set private fund for yourself?
Zhongli: Oh, private fund? It's a shame, I didn't think of it at that time!
Me: For a 6,000 years old God, and great schemer, you sure are foolish.
Now, you're going to be known as Morax the moraless, alongside Barbatos, the drunken bard.
Tsaritsa is preparing to wage war on celestia and zhongli knows about it. Truth to be told Zhongli's gnosis was the only gnosis that was given peacefully and the one which was given by the respective archon on their terms. Going as per the the Lore of the archon war, it is safe to say even the fatui are wary of morax's power and hence tsaritsa was directly involved in the exchange of the geo gnosis. Also, from zhongli's story quest, we know zhongli is hiding something regarding khanrieah from the traveller which he himself confirmed that he can't tell because he is bound by some sort of contract. Long story short, zhongli supports the Cryo Archon to lock horns with celestia
I agree. And I feel like in Natlan, all the truth will be spilled out about the Fatui and the Abyss Order's intentions.
@@Eligaming0603 This is also confirmed in the 5.1 trailer when capitano said to ororon that "We have to make a decision for mavuika, humanity must be saved at all cost". Also as we have seen since fotaine rolled out, the fatui harbingers are actually trying to save the nations in which they are assigned missions, so much so that the knave even took the permission from the tsaritsa to use the hydro gnosis to save fontaine before handing it over to snezhnaya. I strongly believe of all the people in teyvat, atleast the traveller should actually see the tsaritsa as an ally. The enemy (fatui) of my enemy (celestia) is my friend.
Shite, it's been so long when I read the "in terms of mora, we have no mora" line
I thought this was actually bwaap
and expected him to say something when signora interrupted childe
and yes I have watched the video
This was all in November?!? Its going to be March soon! 5 months later!! I cannot wait for the next GI Archon chapter
i get it if zhongli wants a break but giving the gnosis away was the worst possible thing he could of done. to the fatui especially. To be honest the gnosis is only truly safe in the hands of zhongli because think about it: Fatui-want to dominate teyvat. Qixing: are humans and with the power of a gnosis will eventually become corrupt Adepti: are probably the best option but maybe a bit too "overdramatic" because from what i remember when they first found out that rex lapis was dead their first thought was to destroy liyue. so basically what im saying is i dont think the adepti would be very happy having the power of a gnosis but not being needed by the people of liyue. other than that i can't really think of anyone else to give it to. maybe if he gave it to another archon then liyue would be under their rule and under their ideal and liyue would fall apart because there are no more contracts.
Sorry for making this really long and thanks for coming to my ted talk
Imagine if zhongli never heard those workers in the first place xD
I began to understand why Morax give up his Gnosis..
To be completely honest, the plot twist with Zhongli for me was like the one with Aizen, how did I not see this coming a second time?
trade offer
you recive me defeating an ancient god
I recive missing person posters
The twist seriously caught me off guard-
this whole video = asmr
12:31
Crowd: "so young..."
Bro is 500 years old 💀💀💀💀💀
bro took a quick afternoon nap for 500 years..💀 so he is much older than that, as we know aether and lumine used to be travel trough different worlds
Zhongli 3700 years ago : I will protect this land forever !!!
Zhongli now : YEA I’M RETIRING FROM THIS SH*T
The owner letting the merchant go home early thinking it was no biggie, until he realizes that essentially 'killed' their god
Zongli: I made mora
also zongli: Im also broke
i chocked at the fact that Zhongli was so annoyed by Signora's sarcastic stupidity that he needed to say straight ''perhaps it's better i explain'' XD
I absolutely loved this quest- but I also remember face palming LOUDLY here at 22:39 - you know wht
i thought i had a notification in messenger because of the start lmao
14:00 is it just me or did other players also got excited when we saw him and then fell through that water?😭
Just image, Aether/Lumine would like done this frfr. Running, falling into the water, everyone like running to the edge, looking if they’re fine, Zhongli just looking at them like 👁️👄👁️ and Traveler just climbing out and keep running like nothing happened, Paimon being like: “Why are you getting all excited about a broke archon?”
aaahahah

I feel sorry for Childe being deceived💔
My poor boy💔
‘Splat! This big dragon falls out of the sky’ is actually funny to me

Dunno if it has already mentioned in the comment section but here I am
Don't read my comment if you didn't watch the trailer or preview page for version 2.4
Is that foreshadowing ? You get the Encore you wanted after so many updates ! Zhongli !
The only time I've become disappointed of Zhongli lol
Agreed. I understand why he wanted to test whether Liyue could take care of itself without him, but trading away his gnosis to a hostile foreign power is just flat out stupid.
It doesn't help that during his story quest, it sounded like he had a bit of doubt in trading away his gnosis before reminding himself about his contract.
Honestly, I don't see the Tsaritsa holding up her end of the deal in the end.
He is seriously stupid for giving out his Gnosis. If he were to die in the end due to being betrayed by the Tsaritsa then I won't be sad about it
