    I would like to apologize for this video coming out so late. I did not realize it would take so long for the quest to be fixed. I am really sorry, i'll do better next time.

    Some people may think that this quest has nothing do to with Zhongli, I think not. The story of Zhongli is obviously going to be very long, thus it cannot be revealed to the audience directly. The story of Havria gives the audience a little taste and sets up the attitude and tone of what Zhongli's story will be in the future. The most important thing is that Zhongli's attitude during the archon war is revealed in this quest, which is "yield to your enemies won't save yourself", "during an era of a chaotic time, it's not about the simple good-evil concept", etc., the part of the reason why he survived the archon war. As he said, the story of Havria gave him a warning. We can guess that Zhongli too, tried to do the same as Havria until she was killed, and that's when he became ruthless towards the aggressors. The characters like the girl and the so-called archeologists on the ship are living examples of various types of ignorant people when it comes to history, who only believe what they want to believe and have a very twisted way of looking at history. This tells the audience that they too need to think about how they should look at the history of Zhongli. He might not be a total bad guy like the girl said he was, he was also not a powerful saint like the archeologists thought he was, but he's trustworthy for he values the contracts. In general, for a prologue for Zhongli's legend, I think it's a very good start.

      Agreed. However, I do like how the devs have incorporated a religious system with characters who feel deeply for the gods they worship. It's actually quite fascinating that the game quite literally revolves around the people of the world of Tevyat worshipping seven (or possibly more than one) gods. I also realized that Venti seems to represent the Christian God. He is out of sight but comes in forms to aid the people he deems worthy and there is a church and statue in Mondstadt erected in his honor

We may only learn from them, to respect one another, and yet we haven't, perhaps this is yet another tragedy that will enter History for more generations to learn a lesson, that will yet again ignore, for even while learning doubt and dinal however small will gradually eat away at the wisdom gathered by the old and by the ancient.

    I love Zhongli so much. Everyone thinks of Morax as a brutish and violent god, but he's really just an adorable dude who's too humble for his own good and calls you 'friend' whenever he can, even though he'll drop a meteor on your head if he has to. Being serious though, sometimes he comes across as really lonely and it made me feel like hugging him by the end of his quest.

      Well he was indeed a brutish and merciless god, hence the name ‘God of War’. He fought every enemy he came across in his time as a god. But because of centuries of being an Archon and years after the Archon war, I believe Zhongli realize that he’s growing tired and everyday was the same for him. He has no more enemies to kill or to seal, his job was to act as an Archon and look over Liyue until he decided to fake his death.

But I keep coming back to read her story quest and the more I know the more I feel sorry towards her. Like she's just that kind of god who is gentle and approach war differently from the other god but unfortunately, her believe don't really fit in at that time and it is the sole reason why she was betrayed.

    I like how when your character says “It’s like you’re talking about another person” and Zhongli replies with “Well, I am talking about Rex Lapis”, the latter statement has a dual purpose. He talks about Rex Lapis as if he himself isn’t Rex Lapis, to hide his identity to the people around him. But at the same time, Zhongli truly isn’t Rex Lapis, at least, not anymore. By the end of the last Archon Quest, Zhongli gave up his title as the Archon of Geo. The Liyue that Rex Lapis himself created no longer exists, it changed over the thousands of years that Rex Lapis has guarded the land from afar. Rex Lapis no longer needed to fulfill his duties, Liyue is a land that can protect itself. Zhongli doesn’t need to shoulder the weight Rex Lapis holds, because he no longer IS Rex Lapis, he has fully transformed into Zhongli to live like a mortal alongside modern Liyue’s people. When Zhongli is talking about Rex Lapis, he really is talking about another person.

      That’s true. But it also hit me as well. Unrelated but remember Xiao? Xiao is the last yaksha and yaksha’s job is to eliminate demons. In the Xiao story, 4 yakshas were either dead or left without a trace because the karmic debt was too much for them to bear and Xiao is the only one that was left. The karmic debt was nothing new to Xiao and he is able to keep his sanity. But what if, one day, he finally lost control? Who is gonna save Xiao and who is gonna end his suffering? Sure, there are 3 adeptus that could end his suffering, but what if he is stronger than the 3? Do you think Zhongli would just give up and force himself to fight back for the sake of Liyue’s safety?

If such a thing were to happen, I would hope that the Traveller and the other adepti can find a way to peacefully set Xiao free of his suffering without the need for violence... perhaps with the help of Zhongli, who could briefly take the form of Rex Lapis to help Xiao, if that is necessary.
