Genshin Impact Theory | The God of Time and The Sustainer of Heavenly Principle's Motivation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- While writing my previous Genshin Impact Theory - 500 years apart Lumine's War with Destiny, I had this inescapable question haunt me.... Why? What caused the Sustainer to produce such destruction. What were her motives? I began working to theory craft those questions based on what we've learned from the game's lore. I've been working on this video little by little ever since then and am proud to finally release it. I hope you all enjoy!
*****final note******
I am sadly aware of the audio issue this video has In regard to volume. Apologies. I’ve isolated the problem but cannot sadly fix it on RUclips. Future videos should not have this issue.

Good video dude it completely makes sense but someone said paimon is the god of time which can be possible because when we open the menu time stops.
We all know that Paimon is the god of time. She stops time when we summon her aka open the menu and we can skip time
Oh I never said anything about Paimon not being (a.god.of.time) I very much suspect a connection here but those threads will be another full 20 minute video lol.
We don’t stop time, only move forward time
@@AlvinaYunoa We do tho. When you pull up the menu, paimon comes up and freeze time, for most people it's probably just a pause, y'know like how most game pauses when you open the menu. What's interesting is, when you open the menu, everyone freezes and Paimon is the only one moving. If you use the "Wait until" function, it'll become even more clear that time is freezed and skips ahead because everyone is freezed/stuck in place. It makes even more sense when you're gliding, how come you're still gliding after waiting for a long time?
Dude i can stop time eating wdym

The game would carry so much more meaning if only half of the streamers tried to immerse themselves this deep in the tevyat's lore instead of a never ending AR grind and criticism
It wouldn't make them big money, only a small % of the player base pays attention to the story the rest are just on about the waifus or gambling addicts. So I don't expect much from streamers, I'm ver glad to have found this channel it explains things so well and in depth.
@@sam-i-am1774 for me diluc would be so much more interesting as a charecter with emotional ties and baggage in contrast to just a random 5 star who one shot every boss
@@yaashdhar I personally like diluc but I also see so much potential being lost just because they way they portrayed him.
@@yaashdhar Did you read the comic? Much of Diluc was revealed there.
@@Brkncntrllr yes dude that's why
I think that the reason why the Tsaritsa broke off all contact with the other archons is because of something that made her change.
Zhongli tells us that the dendro archon is only 500 years old, so that means the previous dendro archon died around the time of this big catastrophic event.
With the tsaritsa being the god of love i have a feeling that she loved all the archons dearly but when the dendro archon got killed in this big catastrophe she saw it as a betrayal from the divine up in celestia which is why shes now gathering all the gnoses to fight the divine.
As for what sparked the catastrophe... idk lmao
Or her twisted form of love like the Beast 'Love for Humanity' in Fate universe
Maybe she was IN love with him and it sparked her vengeance against celestia
yes!!
That's may be the reason that zhongli gave her the gnoses for "contract that end all contract" and promise that liyue will always be safe
@@amittasa3873 That would make sense, however it stops making sense when you consider that the Traveler is supposed to know the answer through their travels.
If Morax is supposed to be a wisest and oldest archon, he'd make a contract that benefits the cause of many, and not just Liyue. And with Zhongli saying that the Traveler is going to learn in the future means that Morax's contract will play a significant role in the archon quests.
I think, the reason Barbatos had his gnosis forcibly removed from him, is because he is the archon of freedom. He's probably the only archon that will be the hardest to persuade in the Tsaritsa's plan, and thus Signora having to take it.
It's possible that the Tsaritsa and Fatui are not as bad as one would initially assume, and are just forcible in their ways, but are serving a greater purpose.
Perhaps she was distraught by the Cataclysm
Random map designer -> **sweats profusely**
Lol
"this was the only texture we had available"
Imagine if a map designer for miHoYo just comes up and said "Yo... that was actually just my child's attempt at kanji that I digitized."
@@Leona_tf judging from how good the archon quest story, and the musical meaning. It probably not a random symbol we got there.
@@natsirhasan2288 yeah perhaps, but still funny to imagine about some unnamed miHoYo map designer laughing at people making theories when they're actually just some random assets his child made
I've been a honkai player since it came out and the only reason I'm playing this game is because I know mihoyo's potential. Genshin impact might seem a easy going game at first but as you start paying attention to the little details things get dark pretty quickly can't wait to see how the story develops throughout genshin development.
Yeah Genshin impact is bright and happy on the surface, but is concealing something sinister.
I love it.
@@TeyvatHistoria makes it all the more interesting.
as a honkai player i can confirm that we don't want another Himeko experient in Genshin

@@revy6183
If they pull a himeko I'm gonna have an emotional breakdown
There's one thing I noticed recently in the game. Inside in the Venti quest, we found out that Timme's imaginary friend is a ruin hunter. Inside Childe quest's, his brother also mentioned Mr. Cyclops , it turned out to be a ruin hunter. This makes me wonder. Is Timme's father who left him behind is actually Childe and Teucer's father? Is Timmie their lost brother? Upon closer investigation, TImme's eye color is the same to Childe's eye colour. And the colour of his hair is exactly the same to Childe's hair colour.
:O that's a interesting theory
With how Childe talks about his family I doubt he would just accept that his father left his brother alone on who knows where, he's a Harbinger, one of the most important people on Teyvat, I assume he could find him easily if they were brothers.
@@nicolasrios1231 maybe he wants to keep his brother out of this whole thing.
I wonder what's childe's reaction about us murdering the pigeons infront of Timmie.

Who else wants to know where Aether and Lumine(The MC Twins) come from?
I really hope the connections to HI3's Project ARK are true, because it would make so much sense considering they "travel worlds", so perhaps they had the ability to travel along the Imaginary Tree. It is already confirmed that the Genshin Impact universe is part of miHoyo's Imaginary Tree.

Hey I saw this(Chinese explanations) comment under that story teaser, Please see if this holds anything (This has a lot of explanations & kinda suits your theory as well) (This is just a copy-paste)
" After reading a Chinese explanation, I thought it was a good guess. No one here wrote it, so I translated it:
First of all, you have to know Mihoyo have a game called Honkai Impact before, according to the setting inside, when people's technology is more advanced, it will trigger the so-called Honkai. And Honkai will destroy human civilization. In the story of Honkai Impact, it has been confirmed that Genshin Imapact is a parallel world with the same rules.
So the story is like this. About 3000 or even earlier, Teyvat was almost destroyed because of Honkai. At that time, some people sacrificed themselves to protect the world. These can be read from Venti's poems (but this paragraph It seems that in the comics, Mihoyo’s tradition, the plot is half in the comic and half in the game). After that, human civilization has also regressed substantially.
Because of this disaster, the ancients began to fear the development of civilization, so they made a sky island system. The function of this system was to select seven gods and let them manage human civilization, so that the world would not be destroyed by Honkai. Since then, the gods who symbolize the seven qualities have been selected: freedom, contracts, eternal, wisdoms ,justice, war and love.
Make another irresponsible guess on this person. The god that appeared at the beginning of the game should be the main god of Sky Island, used to manage other gods' work. And it's very likely Paimon. All the gods in this game are named after Ars Goetia. There are Barbatos and Morax and Paimon in the story up to now. So how could she be just an emergency food.
About 500 years ago, a new country appeared, which was the last country in this video, Khaenri'ah. This country quickly developed a high-level civilization, and many places on the map have the remains of this country. However, according to the rules of sky island, this country have to be destroyed. So the war began.
What can be confirmed is that all the seven gods should have participated in this war and had an impact on several gods. (There is a description in the other PV. Most people have not seen Barbatos for a thousand years, but only one person has not seen him for 500 years, indicating that someone has seen Venti 500 years ago. When the war broke out)
The ending can be imagined, the Khaenri'ah was defeated by the gods, and their people were cursed and turned into monsters, namely hilichurls and abyss mage. But they left some uncursed descendants, such as the new character that appeared in this video and kaeya.(So kaeya and amber will be strengthened sooner or later. Amber has a very strong potential in comics, so sooner or later Mihoyo will come up with a new Amber.) These descendants should exist for revenge and fulfill their ideas.
The idea of the Khaenri'ah people can be found in this video, that begin at 3:00 , "in the perpetual meantime of a sheltered eternity, most are content to live, and not to dream. but in the hidden corners where the gods' gaze does not fall, there are those who dream of dreaming. some say a few are chosen and the rest are dregs, but i say we humans have our humanity. we will defy this world with a power from beyond." Although most of them have become monsters, they still challenged the god, the sky island, with human identities.
So it can be understood why another traveler wants to help the abyss.
Turning back to the seven gods, after the war, several gods began to reflect on the correctness of the sky island.
Among them, the biggest action is the god of cryo, she is also the god of love, and she has seen too many people lose their lovers in the war. So she established the Fatui organization, she distributed her power to her subordinates, she abandoned her identity as a god, and together with her followers, she prepared to challenge the sky island.
In comparison, although the actions are not that big, the god of freedom, god of contracts and god of wisdom all show resistance to the sky island rules. Is freedom at the mercy of sky island still freedom? Can a forced contract really be called a contract? Since the development of civilization is a folly of self-destruction, then what is wisdom?
So the narrative in the video appeared, Venti allowed Mondstadt to be completely autonomous by humans, he no longer interfered, Zhongli ended all contracts in Liyue, god of wisdom ignored the so-called "folly" of scientific research and cultural development in Semeru.
Some people will resist and naturally some will comply. You can know from the video that god of eterna and god of justice still abide by the rules of sky island.
And God of war can't see her position from the video description, may resist or continue to comply.
Yes, according to the comic, she is probably a female. Coupled with Mihoyo's consistent "lazy behavior", it is likely to be Himeko's modeling. :)
(Finally, the above content is purely inferred from the existing conditions, and may not be correct, it is only for reference.)
PS:There are many hidden stories in the books, weapon descriptions and artifacts descriptions in the game. You need to read them together to make a complete story. It's worth exploring. "
up, i'v read this i think it's really interesting. if we connect it with Teyvat Historia theory, it's actually make so many thing more clear
@@revy6183 exactly
It is an interesting read for sure. I don’t personally atm expect a connection between the ancients and Kaeya’s homeland at this time.
However that’s mostly due to a direct lack of support information at this time.
It may come to light in the future tho.
@@TeyvatHistoria Appreciate your effort bro!
Thank u
I feel like Mihoyo's use of the word 'Impact' for the game titles and that it symbolizes catastrophe is a reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion's apocalyptic impacts. Hope the game gets a dark twist as well if true, like unlocking another impact as an end of the main story before year 2 expansion 😁
Yeah it is for sure used for that purpose. The devs haven’t been shy about their love for evangelion.
Not to mention it’s use and implications in Honkai Impact.
For sure. Evangelion is hype there and honkai impact world story has similar elements with evangelion story.
Also, the Genshin might be in reference to the travelers. If you listen to the Japanese audio (like when Venti heals at the tree for the second time), that’s what the travelers are called. (That, or maybe the archons?)
@@はなびがく花火学 I heard information somewhere that genshin is primordial gods. I don't remember the dialogue between venti and traveller so I can't talk much, lol.
Edit: here's the link forums.mihoyo.com/genshin/article/34927
Not sure if this right or not.
and it turns out, that sealed God of Time is in fact the
*EMERGENCY FOOD*
of course if you put Tuna on a can of time then it become emergency food
How are you sure? cus there’s another one like paimon from the story of venti the boy who saved the land and free the old city. He was with a floating being was colored blue it could fly like paimon. So that’s not 100% sure that paimon is the God of time
@@unknown-cq8dj the floating blue wisp in Venti story are venti form before he become an Archon. if you read the story you can hear that he say he was just a little elemental being but then he saw the little boy want to break the tyrant.
after Decerabian down venti become the next Archon
@@unknown-cq8dj i don't want to be rude but did you doesn't pay attention to story or maybe you miss something?
@@revy6183 yeah I just realize that after remembering it 😅 so this theory could be true but the fact is that venti could also have knows paimon is the God of time cus she is a flying child like venti when he didn’t have a form. so wouldn’t venti been awar?
It also makes sense how venti lost all his godly powers in this duel with sustainer of heavenly principles and turned into normal anemo spirit only gaining a fraction of his former glory after taking the form and ideals of a random bard who so bravely died fighting for monstad's freedom
The bard was venti’s friend
What? Venti was weakened? Really?
as he said in the storyline that his the weakest among the seven as of now ... probably because of the fight with the sustainer of the heavenly principles.
@@Sai-xb2kk goddamnn, with that broken ultimate skill? I wouldn't dare to imagine his peak forms XD
@@ivanf3973 ikr i want to know more about Barbatos involvement because it looks like he sacrifice himself protecting the Current Mondstadt from Destruction 500years ago. you can't find any destroyed ruins or structure near Mondstadt.
Very interesting, but I think there are some heavy reaches in some parts of the video. I think it's much more likely that Paimon is the god of time, not the unknown god:
1. Paimon has time-related powers that can be seen in gameplay mechanics, and are also mentioned once on the hidden island. Her name fits the demonic name style of the 3 confirmed archons we know (Barbatos, Morax, Decarabian)
2. You rescue her from drowning, off the shore of the hidden island. You also conveniently awaken from your seal around this time
3. Khaenriah is hinted to be a land of broken time (Dainsleif narration), and is hinted to be across the sea from Mondstadt (Kaeya story).
4. The eastern coast of Mondstadt is confirmed to have historically worshipped time, before it was eventually forgotten (Sacrificial Sword). We find that the hidden island, thousand winds temple, spiral abyss and eclipse tribe all reside on the eastern side. This hints at some relation between Khaenriah, the abyss, time, and the east of Mondstadt
5. Gods grow and weaken depending on their followers. If Paimon were to be the god of time who vanished, and her supposed homeland is now a chronological wreck, her power would be vastly diminished, resulting in the chibi floating fairy we have today. Her absence also explains why Khaenriah is in such a time crisis
6. I like Barbatos but I think he gets way too much credit in this theory, and would be pulling punches way above his weight class. It's also unknown whether he predates the time-worshipping phase of Mondstadt, or if he came after.
7. This is pure theory but the Unknown god displays spatial powers, nothing really related to time at all. It could be that she is the "space" counterpart to Paimon's "time", since space and time are inextricably linked in physics. The fact that the unknown god has a 4 leaf symbol doesn't connect her abilities to those of time
I think so cus they can form and turn to anything 12:57 beside him
i really love your point about the counterpart space and time!!
Unknown god looks heavily close to Kiana in mihoyo's other game honkai impact, kiana also fights with cubes, has the same eye pattern, can walk on air, is a god of void. We can also see that the unknown god came from nowhere and the diamond shaped void behind her is bending light, she could be a void archon
@@LowEndStat1c yeah i play honkai too and im lowkey hoping that the electro archon is mei and pyro archon is himeko since we already have the red haired people as the descendang of the muratas.
@@LowEndStat1c what are the HoV's main abilities?
Have you ever factored in the idea that Aether and Lumine could be some form of space gods?
They traveled space going from world to world, usually taking the form of a comet/meteor. Aether is Latin for the Sky and is primarily used as a same for the dark void of space, and Lumine means light obviously referencing the stars. You could see in their color schemes that Aether has darker clothes while Lumine has lighter ones.
Lumine and Aether have also said that they have travelled countless worlds and they have incredible sword skills even by knight standards, which is something I highly doubt they can achieve if they're (at most) in their late 20's. I mean they seriously look like teenagers, even Lisa thought they were teenagers hence the phrase "AT YOUR AGE, those types of fleeting fantasies-". If they are space gods, in a way they are timeless, eternal, everlasting; beings that can even outlast the Time god hence she imprisoned them in fear of their power. Because she knows that sooner or later, whether it be 100 or even millions of years that they're gonna return eventually.
Also since canonically Lumine is the one that established the Abyss Order, she could've possibly named the Abyss Order after Aether since.. you know Aether, despite literally meaning Sky, has been used as a name for the Void of space, which has also been described as the Abyss of space.
This does makes sense!
I wholeheartedly agree!! I mean if you think about space travel, to be able to travel to different planets in different solar systems many many light- years away it would take over hundreds or thousands of years. Unless you had like some hyper drive or space jumping technology. I’m sure traveling as a comet makes this faster but they are definitely not “normal humans” I believe them to be some kind of eternal or celestial beings of higher power. I actually believe that Aether and Lunime have a gnosis of some kind. Which is the internal power the archons have. If you look at the constellation for the MC it looks like a gnosis and is not some bottle you get from re rolling a character. But it looks very similar to a gnosis and at one point depending where your at you get to see ventis and they look similar. It’s just theories upon theories here but I think you’re onto something
It makes sense that they are divine in a sense. Especially since the travellers regardless of who they are will have the option to internally say they are on the path recoving their former power.
And after the Childe boss fight, what little power they've recovered points to them being more than simple humans...if they were classified as humans to begin with.
could be but not if u tke honkai plot into consideration since the twins are mention there as a project to restart humanity away from the honkai.. hence they have pure power of traveling between worlds and the fact that the unknown god looks like kiana from honkai (which wants to destroy humanity)/// things might be even more complex.. and kiana's aunt himeko... well venessa and diluc looks exactly like her xDD
Yep I agree I love all of these get shin theories and can’t wait to see how the story plays out
this game was meant to be a story game yet streamers only focus on how “hot” the female characters are...
if you've never skipped, I'll consider you a person who focuses on story
I mean let people enjoy the game like they want
It's a gacha game dude what do you expect. Anime simps thrive on these kinds of game
You're right, but designers want them to be hot too. So it's kinda what they were aiming for, can you blame them?
HoT or hot
Teyvat means "Ark" in Hebrew. In Honkai, there was this "Ark" project that was supposed to be sent out into space to look for a new hospitable planet, and funnily enough, it was depicted visually as "2 stars flying together across space", which resemble Aether and Lumine (2 stars flying together across worlds?).
Not only that, but the Sustainer looks like God Kiana from Honkai, they both claim to be the sustainers of principles (physics), not only that, but they have the EXACT same model, but different clothes, and not only that, but also share voice actress. Kiana despises humans, AS DOES THE SUSTAINER, hence why she stopped and separated the brothers, because their mission was to SAVE HUMANITY.
Also. Paimon is an ELF. ("Equiment: Life Form.") Probably the sustainer in an ELF avatar. And her name "Paimon" comes from demonology. "Paimon is a spirit named in the Lesser Key of Solomon (in the Ars Goetia.)"
Also, Paimon powers in Ars Goetia: "...teaching science and answering other questions. The Goetia and Weyer specify that his knowledge includes all arts and "secret Things", such as knowledge regarding the Earth, its waters, and the winds."
Also, the names of the Archons are TOO from demonology. (Barbatos and Morax known so far.)
As a fun trivia, the names of the Fatui Harbingers all come from characters of the Commedia dell'arte.
Also, the Muratans Venti talks about in the Prologue of the manga are probably descendants of Himeko Murata from Honkai Impact. She uses fire, has red hair and is super super fierce and strong, just like Venti describes the Muratans.
I don’t recall exactly where, but Paimon is referred to as an “elf” somewhere in the story. I can’t believe I never made the connection to the “ELF” term from Honkai until now, especially since she looks and functions exactly like one.
Decarabian was also one of the demons right?
@@masdrionalt I think lady boss at Wangshu Inn is the one who referred Paimon as Elf.
what about the electro archon baal or shogun raiden
edit: baal in demonolgy is the first king of hell
@@lawrencequilangit312 Exactly, in the grimoire it's spelled Bael, but it's essentially the same.
Also the fact that the island is not visible on the map could also mean it was hidden on purpose by the Anemo Archon to prevent any adventurers from going there.
people who only rush through the game to level up be like: oMg tHIs gAmE haS nO stORy lmao

Thanks so much!
yeah sometime i'm pretty annoyed about the reviewer say that Genshin has light story
i know why they said that because they want the review as fast as possible but it will make big misunderstod.
if you want the story become simple, then it simple but it can become more deep and dark if you try to understand and try to search the character background
@@revy6183 lmao direct me to that reviewer and i will also hate him with you
🌸😹Gosh I know right!? I just facepalm at those who claim that there is no content as they’re burning through all the content paying no attention to it whatsoever aside from maxing out😹🌸
Elknola’s Shrine Of Raja I agree. Anyone who says Genshin is light on story is just blatantly not paying attention sadly.
There is a massive story at work here.
I’m calling it. It’s all a time loop.
Or to be actually precise: Cycles
YESS I thing in the end someone(maybe paimon) turns out as the god of time and then attacks Aether(mc) but lumine gets back to herself and fights with him against the god and everything starts again, but with memory lost.
@@Nyastja I think Paimon would meet Lumine (the abyss princess) and discover her past and maybe try to bring Lumine to the light again. Because I think, this is just a guess, but, I think if Lumine ended up spawning 500 years before Aether, she might have met Paimon before, but Paimon might not remember. Like Venti and Zhongli, if Paimon is a god, her mortal form might have been gone after things fell down 500 years ago, but she could still come back as a child
I just finished the inhabited island quest and this came out, as a matter of fact, got me full of attention to the notes and scribbles written.
Hah nice timing.
I find it weird that no other being in teyvat looks like paimon even tho she is from this world and knows a lot about it to be the travelers guide.
She is probably from Sumeru, where the Dendro Archon rules. She is travelling the whole Teyvat for some unknown reason.
Paimon most likely come from celestia
@@ViperDivinity nah if she's from sumeru lisa would've known her
Considering Paimon has the same starry pattern as Dainsleif on their capes, it could be they came from the same place.
Here is a theory that I came up with about 2 weeks ago:
"Paimon (god of time/unknown god) killed all gods and destroyed the world in pure rage (due to unknown reason). After calming down and realising the mistake she travels to the point in time when the "traveller" siblings visits the world of Genshin Impact. She "captures" your sibling and sends you to the location where her younger self later will wash ashore.
After trying to leave her secluded home (Isle of time) Young Paimon almost drowned and was "coincidentally" saved by the protagonist. (We then keep babysitting and steering her into the righteous path).
After Grown up Paimon (unknown god) sent the protagonist away, she showed the sibling what is to befall the world. Pure and utter destruction. She explains to the sibling that she had to act as an antagonist in front of the protagonist to make sure that (s)he seeks out all the gods (and most probably befriends them) together with young Paimon.
The sibling is recruited by Grown up Paimon to create conflict in the world to make sure that the gods have no choice but to once again walk the earth. This to force them into a position where they eventually once again will start caring about the world and it's citizens in one way or another.
All this to change the outcome of how Paimon in the previous cycle lived a miserable life where she climbed the ladder of godhood just to take revenge on the world and the gods who never came to her aid when she needed them.
Side note. Seeing as this is a Chinese story this will probably follow the lines of many "Wuxia" novels where the original cause of anger for the "hero" (in this case Paimon) probably is along the lines of: Her family either being slaughtered in front of her or dying from sickness. This while begging the governing powers to save her family but to no avail. Thereafter being treated like trash and planning to seek revenge on the lord or god."
Not too sure about all this now after 1.1 released tho.. But it was something I found interesting.
wow this is pretty good and believable good job
@Mitchball Ik ur comment was a year ago but wtv just wanted to let u know god of time unknown god and paimon all have different names, specifically demon names. God of time is istaroth (astaroth) unknown god/god of space is asmoday (asmodeus) and well paimon is paimon
ya'll remember when we first met paimon. paimon said we should go to monstat first because there is a reason.
what was the reason tho?
Venti is one of the original 7, hence he'd have some knowledge of things and archons, and he is actually kinda friendly, and turns out he is helpful, compared to...

I have a question about the voice announcer for the Genshin Impact character intros, If you watch Diluc's video and go to the end, the announcer says this "But if the disaster from 5 centuries ago were to happen again, If he were to face the same evil that I once did, would he still hold his resolve?". So my question is who is this voice and how is he connected to the story? It's a question that has been bugging me all week, yet ofc I'll never know the answer
It's Dansleif... but i really dont understand how he's still alive after 500yrs? Or even if he WAS alive during that time. He's probably someone within this current era but somehow knows what happened 500yrs ago. I hope i make sense shxkfnsixnsj
There’s a theory that Dainsleif is the lost twin’s version of paimon. If the theory that the sustainer sent the lost twin back in time (500 years ago during the catastrophe) is true, than it makes sense for Dainsleif to be alive and have a youthful appearance after all that time. But sadly we won’t know until we dive deeper into Dainsleif and his story
@@miphasgrace8980 Ah yes, now that Dain's story quest is out, I saw a few theories. (Spoilers for anyone who hasnt played his quest as of late, and this isn't mine);
Dainsleif has clearly been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years, due to the fact he "knew" Dvalin before it became Stormterror, or was corrupted by the abyss. His lines about "her/him", clearly reference to the fact that he travelled with Aether/Lumine for a very long time, before the other sibling became bitter and stopped travelling.
He is shocked when we sense our missing sibling, but does not want us rushing off to go see them ,as he clearly knows what has happened to them and knows we are no match for them.
Dainsleif also has the same cloak/pattern as Paimon, furthering the theory that Paimon is either Khaen'raiahn or the "unknown god".
Dainsleif does not seem to possess a vision, much like Aether/lumine, leading us to believe that Khaen'raiahn do not need visions to access their elemental/magical powers
@@vanz6971 i think he was paimon for lumine but she joined abyss thats why he hates abyss
@@vanz6971 bro dainslief is not paimon twin becuz he will the last villain and a fact that once i read it on a web that someone asked dainslief dain what what is that strand of blonde hair to you? Someone you must kill? Or the object of your penitence? I think he will kill lumine in future becuz his hair are same as lumine so and in genshin impact spoiler video aether was standing in the end at the sea of flowers
Fun fact - in the Japanese version of the game the term used for allogenes is "genshin". That explains the name of the game, doesn't it?
I do believe the term Genshin Impact means something like “original god” in Chinese? I need to confirm that tho.
Interesting how the various languages produce subtle variations.
I played in Japanese and yeah, Allogenes is Genshin and they described that these Genshin gained Vision in order to ascend to Celestia or something like gaining entry there for some reason, kinda like how the Hero in Greek Mythology is immortalized by having them turn into Star.
If we take it Shounen manga way, this is basically Teyvat vs Sustainer
@@TeyvatHistoria Yeah, Genshin Impact's original name, if translated literally, is "original god." This video reminded me that I should maybe go back and take a look at some of the important lore, like the inscribed text on the sundials you talked about in the video, in the original Chinese text. Mihoyo sometimes messes up translations, and I suspect the inscriptions are in some sort of poem format that might reveal something. Who knows though. Awesome theory, though! I can't wait to see how the story develops, given Mihoyo's track record with Honkai.
Allogene Impact
Me watching and becoming more interested in Genshin Impact theories and stories rather than focusing on my studies xD
Same.
Honkai impact 3rd players: God of time? psshhh thats the herrscher of void

@@ohamatchhams yeah but thats in the main story, not the gameplay
She's totally nerfed, especially when HoR came
So, are we just gonna skip over how in the beggining of the game Venti says “He knows all songs from the past, present, and future”? Seems to hint that he may be the god of Anemo and Time
no it’s just because he’s a bard, a very old one
@@xeoshi1035 then what about the future part
@@marialuisacandelaria5721 who knows he’s a god so it’s probably normal. why would venti be the god of time and wind?
@@xeoshi1035 well time flows like the wind after all...
@@Error-zg2if time flows like water too
Yes! More theories! brb gotta put my tinfoil hat.
I wear mine everyday lol.
@@TeyvatHistoria btw in the scene when the fatui harbinger lady steals venti's gnosis, the same 4 petal/leaf design appears behind her title "la signora" - "the fair lady" , the same design you associate with time.
BRUH I MADE BASICALLY THIS SAME THEORY THREE DAYS AGO. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
You brought up so much more evidence in a much more coherent and, honestly, superior, way though. I think this theory is very plausible, and with the extra evidence brought up here, I think it has much more substance than I ever thought possible.
Edit: Okay the more I watch the more I realize how much I missed when I did my theory, and how wildly speculative I got when there was no need, lol. Theres a lot of history here that I missed in it's entirety. Great video!
Props to you for being so earnest, respect 🙏
Whatever miHoYo have in mind regarding the lore of the game, if what they'll come up with isn't identical, or at least closely related to what you've proposed, their version will be borderline less attentive to details and less thought out in general, as it would result in them underutilizing the little things present in the world they have created. Such as those marks on the ruins or insignias on Hypostasis' spawns, as well as those little plot holes in the story regarding return of Venti 500 years ago, his relationship with Tsaritsa, and the whole story of that island. UNLESS there's little things which even you didn't manage to spot. That would be insane.
That said, your research is incredible. Greatly enjoyed watching this.
Thanks so much! This one took me a lot longer to produce than usual as a result of that research haha.
When I first got this game I was not expecting the lore to be so intriguing
Aether: Jesus, I just wanna find my sister.
"just give me my sibling back" XD
he didnt sign up for the rest of this shit
Yet he's sent out on commissions cause his rank is too low
Also just notice how the sustainers eyes look like the gears of a clock.
Woah! I didn't even think about that!
I’m glad it opened your mind haha.
Plot twist: The sustainer of heavenly principal was actually Paimon.
Make sense, you know there's no one like paimon in whole game, no one know what species is paimon
It'd suck if she turns out to be the unknown God. She a good friend besides emergency food
@@grumpychicken3172 there IS someone like paimon too but from Honkai impact 3rd which is Herrscher of Corruption (God of corruption) called Hikogamaru. Which she is called “Fried tofu “ just like paimon nickname “Emergency food”. She is also small, Chibi like Paimon bot a fox
with this Theory, it's actually make a connection betwen Paimon and the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles really a something. if we take closely to paimon design (something like , we can see something simmiliar with sustainer in her clock (more precisely in 8:38 in right bottom corner).
with this i actually assume that Paimon is a part of Sustainer of Heavenly Principles that left by her to realese her from the seal. like we know all archon name are eventually a part of ars Goetia (pardon me if i'm wrong because i don't really know anythin about ars goetia), like Barbatos, Morax and even Paimon.
Edit: forgot to mention that Paimon halo is so simmiliar with the ring in tree inside the domain
sorry for bad English
I actually am working on a similar theory. The 3 vs 4 sided insignia is something that’s really curious to me. I’m very interested in the possible “deception” Dainsleif speaks of as the ancient civilization having summoned the wrong time god. Or yes, having split off the sustainer into two parts.
Then paimon came from that island?

Typical shonen mc
Wonder if that means that the traveler will end up having more powers than they originally had 👀
@@RoseMultiverse of course lmao they're gonna get all the elements as each new region is released
bruh he the avatar

huh?
Uhm???
*for not upgrading
What do your mean by "wil suffer for upgrading the MC"?
I feel like it‘s important to put some resources into the Mc because the will be able to switch to all elements aND THEY ARE LITERALLY THE MAIN CHARACTERS
This is now my head canon when I play the game 👌🏼
Hah awesome.
So so What if!? Her fight with Venti didn't like seal her powers completely and only made a weaker or a lesser god. Making her into a smaller, floating, cute emergency food to accompany the traveler to lead him and his sister together and coax them to do her bidding, Then why separate them from the other? well so she can corrupt the other into going against the Gods letting the other twin stay on the war going on so that she will grow to hate the gods who separated her from her brother and then teleported the other to the timeline in the future to meet her dormant self drowning in a river. You know where I'm going! I totally believe that Paimon was the God of Time like she can manipulate time in the game make it go forward and stop it when she appears. Don't get me wrong I'm saying this now but if this really happens and Paimon is like the final boss I'll cry!! I love that emergency food..
While I do suspect some form of connection between the two, i suspect they are (at least now) two very different people. (Paimon has a 3 sided knot on her clothing, by contrast of the 4 sided knot on the sustainer)
That said the domains do display Paimon’s insignia inside, which also suggests some form of connection there as well. I’m planning to dig into these possibilities more in the coming months.
Yes! I'll look forward to that!!
I wish there would be a book about the game and the manga. It’s so cool and full of details
🌸❤️Your videos are like mini documentaries that you would find on National Geographic or the Science channel. They’re always so entertaining to watch and inspire such intrigue.
I find myself waiting constantly to see just what you put out next, thank you for another great video❤️🌸
:D thanks for the kind words and support! I’m really happy you enjoy my videos. I’ll keep working hard to provide content of additional intrigue haha.
The story is soo interesting can’t wait for the new patch!
Me too!
Would be cool too if there was an anime series for Genshin Impact. Love this game a lot. Beautiful music, character design and amazing lore.
There is an elliptical pattern that appears on Paimon's clothes as well (front side). I wonder if she's related to the ancient civilization of Teyvat. Her scarf/cape with the cosmic design is quite curious. Its design resembles constellations. Makes me wonder if she's one of the gods disguised as a "guide" for the Traveler.
Edit:
Slight unrelated spoiler from another game:
I'm reminded by the events of Bravely Default where the cute "mascot/guide" turns out to be something unexpected. I hope Paimon doesn't turn out to be an antagonist!
Edit2:
I just realized the symbol on Paimon's clothes is an upside-down Mora symbol.
I totally support that the unknown god can control time. I rewatched the opening mainly because I wanted to listen to their Japanese voices.
And observed that after capturing the one of the twin, she was attacked and she totally reversed that attack, even the smoke all back to the traveler's hand to the state before the attack was released.
I also like to think that the unknown god is the first heir that was deceived in the "Story Teaser: Gnostic Chorus". She was probably used as a host to summon a god by those who deceived her. And that Dainsleif was the second heir sent but was unable to fulfill the duty as his sister is now possessed by a god.
Probably why he knows so much in the "Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail" and seems to challenge us(traveler) as we are following their footsteps.
- traveler(us) in journey to save their twin
- the twin is currently the Abyss Order prince/princess. possibly the next host for the unknown god.
Anyway goodluck to us travelers!
Really looking forward to the official story. And of course these theories, they are so fun to watch/read 🤩
That would make a lot of sense! I've also noticed that Kaeya, Dainself and the unknown god all have diamond shaped pupils so khaen'riah could be around there OR the unknown god decided to take refuge there since it's the place where the gods eyes do not extend. I also managed to pinpoint where celestia is (since you can see it (most clearly at night) from dawn winery and guyun stone forest), which shows that it's in the top right area of the map (out of bounds ofc) so everything being in the top right where the closest thing is a place least ruled would make sense. Also the runes appear on one of Mona's 'emotes' so she might be one of the few survivors of the old civilization?
This ain’t even true
Nice I love watching your theories it keeps me very interested.
Awesome ^^
Ok ok, Zhongli has the same symbol as the “Archon of time.” Paimon also has a similar symbol but instead of four, she has three. I’m just pointing that out
The god of time might not even be an archon. The archons seem to use their own elements, but what was the unknown god's element? Geo? But Zhongli is the Geo Archon.
@@har.jasmine5494 from what she displayed it doesn't look like any of the elements we see in game. She can possibly travel between dimensions and the cubes she used are completely different
@Nicholas Jevon the God of time was in fact a REAL GOD on the universe , she isn't like the archons who are half human half divine and uses Gnosis to be recognized as God.
Hence The God of time says
The arrogation of HUMANS needs to stop, because she knew that the archons are going to do something to destroy the current rule of their world. Especially the Cryo Archon (Tsaritsa) collecting those gnosis to prepare for war.
@Nicholas Jevon She uses more like Space based powers from the portals and cubes, imo, Paimon is more likely to be the God of time.
Tbh, I wonder what the four symbol thing has to do with the three one. What do they have in common and what do they mean? The god of time/space and the unknown one are very confusing to me.
I'm not good when it comes to Theory and stuff. but I only played this game coz the first time I saw this game I felt like I have found what I have been looking for, I was a Gamer that plays no game before playing genshin impact I always look for games that takes my interest. The current games that took my interest back then were none, No Game has ever made me play it as if its the real world. Not even Minecraft, but Genshin Impact is different its not those games that are kinda boring, its a game created from Experience. I rly love how this game turned out, I love the visuals, the scenery, the bg music. Its just its perfect, maybe too perfect. I wish I can see this game forever, but I'm afraid that we humans can only live for a limited amount of time..
Edit: thank you for reading this boring life of mine. Good Luck on the adventures in Teyvat, Traveller.
your theory videos are my favorite, very well-made!
Thanks much!
I'm glad that more people are into the lore. What I'm now waiting for is more lore about the Cryo goddess, Tsaritsa. She is now collecting Gnosis from other Archons, and if the Sustainer is in Celestia - then the Tsaritsa will freeze all of the heavens.
Yo since the travelers are from an entire different world, they aren't affected by the time of the tevyat world. What if the world is just a continuous time loop and the travelers are the ones to stop it. They might have been affected by the time loop already hence the 500 year theory. I'm throwing this out there
Damn it's been 8 months and I can't seem to remember what I was thinking when I wrote this. It doesn't even make sense to me.
This Unknown God being sealed away makes sense。I think that’s why Lumine decided to destroy Mondstadt because the anemo archon had sealed the power of the Unknown God somewhere in Teyvat。I also think the Unknown God cast a spell on those twins to prevent them from leaving，perhaps she foresaw the future that this twins will help her achieve her true goal？I feel like she’s not as evil as the scenes portray her to be，because if she was she could have just killed Lumine and Aether during their battle。
I dunno, I feel like the sustainers intent for them was a fate worse than death. I think she intended for them to become monsters like the rest of the inhabitants.
But she could be somewhat misunderstood. Hard to say with any degree of certainty.
This theory kind of falls apart because:
People worshipped the god of time even before Venti was an archon. Read the lore of the weapon "Sacrificial Fragments": it says that when Decarabian was still archon, a group of people ran away to the eastern cliff of Mondstadt, praying for divine help. The other sacrificial items all say that the ancestors worshipped both wind and time on the eastern cliffs. This pretty much confirms that time was worshipped before Venti was relevant.
That would in turn mean that Venti could not be singing about the Sustainer, because the sustainer could not be intimately involved with a wind spirit during that time. Also, the sustainer shows no time related powers: the max she shows is "sealing" the traveler, which hasn't been implied to be time travel in any way (so far, at least)
Also, we're assuming the sustainer of heavenly principles fell to the 7 archons when the 7 didn't even come together to fight the abyss order. It appears that the sustainer is on a completely different power level to the archons we know
Yeah it sounds cool but has a few holes
dude, your channel is so underrated
Thanks! It’s growing every day though!
I agree with the unknown god being the god of time and was also wondering, while reading the notebook, what the connection with Barbados is, but Barbados fighting anything bigger than a Hilichurl is laughable. Need I remind you that he couldn't even control the eye of the storm you have to destroy with him commenting that the abyssal order isn't the only thing that doesn't like him there (and that is even before the Signora incident).
The most confusing thing about the main character pair is what they are, because they seem like Planeswalkers in MTG, but could also be higher gods (the entry fight would suggest that, free flying massively powerful and just slain by something they don't understand), but that would also make the Sustainer insane in terms of power scales.
The god of Teyvat seem pretty weak in comparison, considering we know that they are essentially evolved elemental slimes. :P
An Archon's powers heavily rely on the control they have on their nation. Barbatos was strong before. If you actually read the books you pick up in random bookshelves, you'd learn that the reason Mondstadt is mostly plains and have little mountains is because Barbatos cleaved the mountains with powerful storms. Mondstadt was also a barren snow wasteland until Barbatos summoned divine winds to scatter the ice and snow and make Mondstadt habitable.
After the new update you'll learn that Barbatos was actually part of the Archon war and killed the other gods of Teyvat to gain the title of Archon. So yeah, Barbatos was hella powerful before but is now weak for being away from Mondstadt too long
u earn a new subscriber on how your previous video 6 months ago is literally spot on with the new 1.4 patch main storyline quest. very good theory and very well researched. thank you for this. so desperate to wait for a new storyline added by mihoyo
Sustainer : Paimon
God of Time : with Lumine
Lumine: switched placed with the sustainer
Me: after watching this making my own story.
This was amazing! This story keeps getting deeper and deeper I love it! But dude you forgot to mentioned that our own favorite emergency food supply also has the symbol of the sustainer. It make sense if the Sustainer took the form of Paimon when Barbatos sealed her as a way to continue her plan. Befriended Aether in order for him to release her. But I think this also might take a spin as she'll learn that not all humans are bad?
Venti does mentions he dislikes Paimon almost as if she's giving him weird vibes.
I didn’t forget it. Hers is slightly different. 3 prongs instead of 4. That’s a theory entirely it’s own for some point in the future. Adding it to this would have probably made this video 20
Minutes longer and took me 4 more weeks of research and production lol.
These are so good. Better than TV and Movies. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much!
I just absolutely love this channel.
I can't even imagine how much work would have been spent on this
I will definitely be waiting Patiently for ur next videos
Great research as usual! Keep up the great work!
@StarryCakes Of course. I wouldn't have commented otherwise.
@StarryCakes Well I already answered your question, what's the point?
@StarryCakes And seconds is quite literally an exaggeration. I'm minutes away when the video was about to end when I decided to comment to show my support. What's with it?
You can clip your Camera through the wall where the chest is - and there are definetely boxes down there. The place surely IS MORE RELEVANT THAN IT SEEMS
now that I think about it, the sibling of the traveler became the prince/princess of abyss order
This is an older video so my comment probably won't be seen by anybody but I noticed something interesting in the opening scene. When the Sustainer of Heavenly principles shows up, she appears in a flash of red and black energy in a three star formation which bear a very close resemblance to a black hole. The background behind it warps and twists with it, which is how black holes are commonly thought to appear because of their massive concentration of energy, and the black void in the middle surrounded by an eerie red fire-like glow. It also bears a heavy resemblance to the actual real photos taken of a black hole in mid 2019. Some people think black holes or worm holes may be a form of time travel or a means of getting from one place to another very quickly, so if she were a god of time, this detail would make a lot of sense.
Hey man, someone here posted a really long comment of a translated Chinese theory and I think it has some interesting ideas based on lore books and item descriptions/the manga and correlations with Honkai Impact as well. A video of your thoughts on it perhaps?
Over on my discord I have a video requests channel. Should head over there and submit this request again. That way I don’t forget about it!
I Think This Time God/Goddess Could Be Paimon , That Could Explain Why Paimon Is Able To Control Time And Space
Amazing research! I love these kinds of videos!
I enjoy your storytelling so much! Thanks for this channel, can’t wait for the next chapter!
Thanks :D
These theories are amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Please raise your volume of recording in the future! I loved the theory but got ear blasted by ads because I had to turn you up so much to hear it.
Good to know that I'm not the only one who thought of this theory.. well, in the part of the sustainer=God of time atleast. XD
The only way for Ather and Lumine to interact with the same people and places they cant be displaced by any amount of time we are dealing with parallel universes. Something Mihoyo loved to do in Honkai Impact, then you got the dude at the end of the trailer for the different regions talking about saving "her" and challenging whoever he was talking to to "save her first" looking a lot like an older Ather.
The god of time maybe is the Aether, im have two reasons to think that: 1. Because of the mangá of the genshin impact, in the last scene of the prologue, venti talks with Aether, these two characters have one relationship of the 500 years. Second reason 2. In the end of history game, the main character finaly get the tear of destiny to remake the everything. (Sorry my english is bad, maybe im have one or two mistake in my text.)
This video just showed up in my front page, need to watch your old videoos! awesome video man!
I just realised-
The anemo gods sign is like the Mitsubishi sign
theory: Aether was awake 500 years ago rather than lumine and met paimon which is the sustainer's childhood.After the death of aether cause he isn't immortal.Paimon went wild and became the sustainer.After enleashing all of her power,The archons had to come back and fight her off and seal her.Now here's the twist.Right about when she was about to be sealed.She made a lets say disortion in time which causes Lumine and aether to be apart but she replaces all of the fabric of history.She changes it so that Aether isn't dead and just meets paimon after a few years from the battle.She makes it so that when aether meets her.She makes herself paimon again,and creates an endless loop.Aether is the one stuck in.That could explain how Paimon knows everything they go on adventure about.But sometimes "forgets"
Theory is Dainsleif is the God of time and the Unknown god is actually a god that hates humans for the humans lack of acknowledgements in the archons of today (the 2 we know. Humans are losing faith in Barbatos existing, and Liyue caring more about Mora than Morax)
Paimon is likely the god of time, I'll write a full comment on why in a bit
Dainsleif literally said "we humans have our humanity, and we will defy this world with a power from beyond", so I doubt he's not human.
Well i mean the unknown god is known as herrscher of void in honkai impact and she does hate humanity a lot in honkai impact so you are not wrong i guess
I'm so glad I'm not the only person constructing theories out here. Idk how many of them hold any weight or how much, but it's nice to hear other people's thoughts on the lore, there's so much of it! Everything from the main plot to the most common item seems to carry secrets with it! I can't wait to see what comes next!
Other people reading the thumbnail:
God of time theory
Me:
God of theory time?
Looool. Or is it: “God of..... THEORY TIME!”
You really called some of these reveals like 5 months in advance. My mind is blown, great job!!
Theory: the past anemo archon was consumed by rage (or whatever was driving them insane) and destroyed all other realms. Venti rose up because the anemo archon powers left the past archon when they went mad, and became the new anemo archon. The past archon developed a new “ability”, time. Maybe they went crazy over an obsession with something that happened in the past. Now they are the god of time. Venti feels sympathy for them and asks the people to remember the past god. Now the former anemo archon, and the now god of time, is trying to change past events so that whatever happened in their past doesn’t come true. Perhaps whatever happened in the former anemo archons past had something to do with travelers, which explainers her hate for them
I strongly suspect that Paimon is the sustainer of heavenly principles and Godess of time.
Reasons as to why I suspect are:
1. Paimon was found near that island at the start of the game.
2. Similar diamond shape tiara on both characters (From cutscene diety and Paimon's head).
3. Ability to stop time when you open game menu.
4. The demonic meaning of her name.
5. As you have said in your previous video, it may have similar story plot as honkai impact where Paimon is the vessel etc.
6. As stated in this video, the Godess has torn a fabric in time inorder to escape. It can be possible that Paimon is the Godess but at her baby stage as there might be some backfire or recoil to that spell... this one convinces me the most.
7. The Tiara (crown or halo) over Paimon's head is also the same as the tree that holds the world in genshin /or honkai impact 3 world tree which has multiple parallel dimensions. Wierd to be a coincidence
Man, this story has so much potential. Just like the early Honkai days...
Can't wait for more story in patch 1.1. I really appreciate your work, stuff like this are hard to come by.
Thanks for the support!
If you think about it it maybe we are well aether are in a time paradox
This guy may be one of the smartest guys I’ve ever seen, also I’m happy I watched this because it connects to come of my theories aswell.
It would be amazing if one would theorize the full extent of Lumine and Aether's powers
A really good theory but there are some things that think: 1) I don't think Venti fought the sustainer-- I personally think he ducked out. The Tsarista was known for love and gentleness-- she probably objected to the actions of the sustainer and tried to get support. Venti was on her bad side as shown with the 8th harbingers treatment and lack of diplomacy. Zhongli on the other hand probably objected but couldn't do anything-- hence why the Tsarista went through diplomacy with him. 2) It is heavily hinted at in some places in the game that celestia is a not the heaven for allogenes that the people believe-- Venti hints at it a few times. I personally think the allogenes are being used in some fashion and the promise of celestia is a trap for humanity. 3) It is also hinted in the lore for Dainslief that he wields power from another realm-- potentially the ancients were from a different world or tapped into technology from a more advanced world. 4) I think Celestias purpose is for dominance over humanity and the ancients were threatening the gods' rule through technology. Celestia may have used visions to steal what they see as the best of humanity away as to weaken any resistance against the gods' rule. Perhaps the gods are stiffling humanity's true potential through rule?
Love those videos, keep it up!
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure that the sustainer existed during the archon war and was not sealed away since it's said in the guili assembly quest that Guizhong was slain by something that even the Guizhong and Morax could not withstand combined, and it's highly likely that something is the sustainer considering she is more powerful than any other god.
But I do agree that she can manipulate time, there's also a weird table in Liyue with 3 chairs marked with the names Morax, Guizhong, and sustainer. Leading me to believe there was some kind of alliance between the three gods and the sustainer eventually betraying the both of them and murdering Guizhong and manipulating Morax in some way to think as if her betrayal never happened.
(Ofc, this theory is only going of that table and Morax's close relationship with Guizhong so there's more chances of it being wrong than right.)
17:41 the star on the chest is similar to the other one
