Video

I never understood the whole “oh it’s a simulation, it doesn’t matter” line of thought, is the game/book/movie or whatever you’re experiencing not just a “simulation” by another name? You still experience these things, albeit fictional, and they still have an impact on you, is that not meaning? So why, once revealed that a story is “just” a simulated experience for a character in said story, do we strip that story of its meaning? If the simulation has meaning to the character within the story, then it has meaning to us, as the audience, it is still something that affects the character(s) within a story, and by extension us, as the witness to those characters stories.

Do you plan on making a part 2 to this video addressing the recent lore drops in genshin, the current arc in Hi3, and the tidbits we know about Elio and the Aeon of Finality, Terminus from HSR (+ Acheron/Raiden Bosenmori Mei and the multiverse nature of HSR’s planets)

before finally creating humans - numerous as the stars , uncountable as the sand on the shore - if there was hunger the heavens would bring food and rain - The one taboo was to succumb to temptation - what is this book again? primodial one and 3 other shining shades couldn't hear prayers of people. one of the shining shade is not mentioned here, must turned against primodial's faction, in caribert quest "god or power of the abyss" called himself 'a sinner" too. istaroth is the "ruler of unchanging world" , sounds like some god in genhsin i know, are they related, also i couldnt find any dragon sovere gins in inazuma either i have to say in paimon words this is super duper interesting

I liked the video, your work on it, the small details etc. All the positive things were described before me. I would like to make an important request: when quoting, please refrain from using sound distortion and noise effects. The sound caused me real painful discomfort when using high-quality headphones. I had to switch to the monitor speakers in order to listen to the entire video. Considering that I may not be the only viewer with sensitive hearing, my review could be helpful to you.

Thanks! I’ve been trying to get this book

Hey!!! Just here to say that I almost went into a panic when I tried typing in "The Hexenzirkel" and I was unable to find this channel. Really enjoyed all the videos covering "The Will of Honkai" and "The Sea of Quanta".

I have a crack theory that Deshret used the nails throughout his tech because there's a lot of blue crystals in the desert ruins and no abyss. He also either has purple or gold abilities not blue.

Not to be like a downer on the Genshin lore analysts. But. All of the Honkai related games exist as bubble universes on the Imaginary tree so to speak. It is how we have Welt Yang (CEO's self insert) helping this not dead Himeko he discovered and Raiden Mei (confirmed) in HSR and why Genshin is vaguely similar with some correlations and allowed crossover with HI3 (Fischl). So the main old Hoyo games (aka Honkai and its predecessors) are all on like one main branch, Genshin and (maybe ZZZ) are on the other side of the tree. But still on it. Main concepts and ideas will be shared across all games because they're all on the tree. I think its being thought about a bit too hard concerning the Honkai events existing or not in Genshin. They're there. There's several instances in Genshin that sound incredibly similar to the Honkai tests and you can make the argument that the Stellaron disasters on different planets in HSR are Honkai events. Additionally, if its a sea where life begins, that's gonna be the Quanta. There's not much more to it. Its like how the Great Flood irl is found in multiple religions and regions. Not just the Christian Bible. They're referencing the same event.

your lore videos are SO good I am tearing through these omg.

Love the new icon and cool channel title!

Second who came its surtilogi

I hate desgret for this

Didnt zbongli through the dumbell into the sea ot was that the jade cutter or both

You can also see the upside down fountain from the upside down ruins in the underground chasm in the book of revealings world. There's a window right next to where you teleport in and there's the same statues and everything. People tried telling me Hoyo was just reusing architecture but I've noticed that there's slightly different motifs on the pillars in Enkanomiya, The Chasm, and Sumeru. So I don't think it was just reused architecture. People can pry that from my cold dead hands.

That was talked about at the end of the video... time and space could not be separated and all barriers broken thing... it's uhm... eternity because there will be nothing which can be changed if all things will be one then nothing can influence it like gravity has an impact on sand and time but if that will be merged together then i shall call that eternity so um... it's that what Raiden searching?! Anyway these nails resembles me one secret project i don't remember it's name but it was a weapon well what else human can invented righ...it was basically a rod made from hard materials with high melt point like titanium carbon wolfram etc... And these rods should be placed on earth's orbit on some sort of satellite and released when needed and on impact it will made a huge boom but non radioactive which is good but that temps speed and mass (rods can actually be partially melted during long fall throu atmosphere) will be really dangerous but that program was ceased it was costly to put these rods on orbit they were really heavy and where it will lands was a bit unpredictable you can't really aim from these heights throu atmospheric conditions and speeds but who knows what comes next...

7:40 okay so there is clear tie to Irminsul here. Rhukkadevata did the same thing to create Nahida. Nahida is the purest branch of Irminsul that was snapped off so as to not be infected with forbidden knowledge. Which, we know, is this text from Before Sun and Moon. And what poisoned Deshret's mind and created Eleazar. This is all so fascinating and I'm just interested to see how Hoyo will tie it all together.

Thank you! I have read this 100 times and the audio helps it stick!!! I appreciate these books lore reads!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

47:47 Otto -> Blond Aether & Lumine -> Also blond Coincidence?

5:07 So Luocha can't be Otto?

How can you not understand the concept of knowledge being a forbidden or detrimental thing? We have the obvious reference of Christian original sin. In Buddhism we have the concept of attachment -- a learned belief -- as the root of all suffering. In modern psychology we know that trauma is something that is both learned and self harming, and that dwelling on trauma perpetuates that drama with the human brain treating the recollection of trauma almost identically as experiencing it for the first time. And in physiology we know things like allergic histamine responses are things your body learns that can be harmful or even deadly. Learning the wrong things can lead to wrong responses, wrong takes, wrong actions, suffering, etc. And this is not just metaphor, but real and tangible. Remember that "knowledge" does not necessarily ever equate with "truth."

It multiverse reference between Honkai impact and genshin impact and Honkai star rail references

hello! this is my first video of this channel. I liked your theory crafting alot and ive subscribed to your channel. Keep sharing more videos please.

funfact he acually used his "making art alive" in the 2.3 event when they came into his cave lab bc he didnt had enough chairs so he simply drew them and brought them to real world

Su joined the Hexenzerkiel?? 😅 Also, if I unserstood anything from Chenyu Vale is that this fandom has a low reading comprehension ability, and that they LOVE to argue things that are very obvious just not straight up spelled to them, the Chengchang being herb lord, Zhongli being the Golden God ... many things that you'll fight to get accross and that people wouldn't want to beleive until you rub it on their face, as you said it, showcases a huge cultural difference across the fandom . It's refreshing to find a channel such as yours. That being said, ai still do not see the parallel you drew between the sea of qanta and the Primordial sea 😅

The witches of the Hexenzirkel are more terrifying than the actual gods. One of them was the causr of the cataclysm that changed the entirety of Teyvat, imagine what they could do in unison. Truly terrifying.

I like the mental image of Celestia being completely deserted. Imagine we get up there and it's just, like, some mint and a one-star relic.

With Hoyo’s way of misdirection and vagueness, while I’m also convinced Herb Lord = Changsheng, there have been some other sleights of hand that make me only 95% sure…. After all, the Primordial one, is “may be Phanes….” a year and a half later…

Since you have a low register voice, would it be possible to up the volume of your audio next time. This was really fascinating to think about but even on upping my hardware volume I had real problems hearing all you said. Also: I recently did Baizhu's story quest and Changsheng admits that when she was found those five herbal masters ago (there are only 5 predecessors depicted in one of those slides), she had forgotten a lot about her past - I agree with other commenters that she must be Herblord.

So this is what Honkai Impact 3rd Su has been doing all this time? Analyzing another world's history? This so lore accurate I can't stop laughing. Great video!

Yesssss, always love your videos

The mixing on the voice was really low, I normally have my volume at 12 but I had to go to 34 to hear it :) Theres no way the herblord is NOT chang sheng. I'm sure there will be future interactions between Baizhu,chang sheng and fujin as fujin said she wanted to visit liyue. However we may have to wait for next years lantern rite for that to happen :) It's interesting from xianyun's story quest that it almost implies that wild cranes are immortal, well at least the ones that changed like yandai to sentient etc. Theres a lot of dialogue from xianyun that implies that the wild cranes are all xianyun's children, she literally calls them "progeny". Even though xianyun herself says that she's never been an actual mother.

Excellent video again. I thought it was fairly evident that Changsheng was the Herb Lord. I personally suspect that The Second Throne and The Primordial One are mostly powerless after the Archon War and the Sustainer is the only thing keeping order. Why she is silent is going to be a revelation, I think. Keep up the good work!

SiliconOneFour uploaded a pretty convincing theory about the nameless god the Chenyu adepti served being Guizhong earlier today. What do you think?

This is a 35 minute video about the word adepti. Me: yes

I think that Dvalin and Neuvillette are quite young. Azdaha is one of the oldest, and is probably much older than Apep. He is dying. (the erosion) In his current state he is not fit to rule. So in a sense Liyue is like Inazuma; without a sovereign.

Super appreciate the time and effort you put into making these audio books. As another mentioned, I play on console and it’s hard AF to see the text of the books. Thank you so much for making them audiobooks.

its so cringe that genshin uses so many german words

this is the first time ive seen content like this for genshin lore, tqsm for this!!

As a console player, thank you for this series 😅. All the writing in genshin is extremely tiny and in hard to find places.

This book is crucial than any other books

So Citrinitas = Gold lesser form of Alchemy/Khemia then Rubedo = Alice? I mean if you think about red in Genshin you think Alice/Klee.

What you said at the end of the video gave me an idea. Remember how Celestia punished Egeria for turning the Oceanids into humans? What if Celestia found out about Rhinedottir having created Albedo, a human, and decided to punish her for it (with the destruction of Khaenri’ah being collateral damage of sorts)? Iirc Albedo himself says in his voice lines that he doesn’t remember much of Khaenri’ah because he hadn’t spent much time there. Well yeah, that’s because his “birth” is what triggered the cataclysm

I’d been thinking the twins have to come together in the end as well. Could even be why the abyss twin chose to go down that path so they can join with the ‘light’ twin in the end to birth a new world. My head cannon hasn’t decided whether or not they have to split up again after or if the process does it. Or it could be a metaphor for them having to join forces to destroy/banish the sustainer. I think the sustainer is there to prevent Teyvat from drawing the attention of the Honkai. The ‘arrogation’ of mankind is becoming too advanced and drawing that attention. The twins would make Teyvat lose its protection (firmament) but gain its freedom

K so it wasn't my TVs audio. Still gonna watch the whole thing lol

Good. The audio is much better.

I’m still hung up on the “Rhinedottir brought forth monsters”. In one of the Ruin Golems and on one of the monuments in the Temir Mountains, there is text about how Khaenri’ah was fighting the monsters; the former remarking that they were being turned into Hilichurls during the fighting, and the latter commending them from their bravery. We see Khaenri’ah and Rhinedottir being synonymous in terms of plot, but could her actions be a betrayal to the national? As an end to her means…? Too vague to come to any conclusion.

Excellent video as always! I am looking forward to truly seeing the members of the Hexenzirkel. As a funny aside, the potential "relationship " between the siblings gs isn't out of the realm of comfort for me, as I am a huge fan of The Irregular at Magic High School. Miyuki's VA happens to voice my favorite character in Genshin.

I got looking up the Ring Cycle in relation to Genshin just the other day when seeing that the great beast in Flowers for Princess Fischl was named Gesamtkunstwerk, which is a specifically Wagnerian term for this sort of gestalt artistic whole
