      Yeah.. even if they are the same person at core since they are embodiment of Irminsul, Rukhadevata created Kusanali/Nahida from the very same source as hers. So I call their relationship as mother and daughter, or sisters and without any issue. They love each other. The fact that their first and last meeting is ended with hug, make things more sad

    There goes the best archon we've met so far, she did not only saved the people of Sumeru from the forbidden knowledge, she saved all of Teyvat protecting the Irminsul and sacrificing her own self and consciousness for 500 years to halt the infection until her "branch" was ready to "delete" her from existence.
    Not only did she saved the whole Teyvat, she did it knowing no one would remember her or her sacrifice, kindness in it's most purest form.

I always liked that theory cuz it explains how can both siblings be "Canon". And now with Sumeru and all that stuff about Samsaras, life cycles and whatnot, it seems highly likely. With that in mind, there's a possibility that the abyss twin is not the Traveler's real sibling.

    The trope of someone being forgotten and wiped out from history is such a tearjerker for me. Just imagine the rush of emotions you feel, Annoyance that there is something missing, Anger that you couldn't change the outcome and the Sadness of losing someone important to you, all flowing into you at the same time. And the last nail in the coffin is when the character asks "why am I crying?"

      Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾
      *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
      As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
      Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

      @Call_Upon_YAH Před rokem +5

      When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
      Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
      The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
      I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
      Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

      Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾
      *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
      As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
      Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding.

      Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
      The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
      I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
      Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

Then comes rukkhadevata's peaceful smile before disappearing knowing nahida will be allright and she can leave irminsul to her hands while nahida tries to hold on to her tighter fearing whats coming next.

    It takes a lot to make my cry, but this cutscene did it for me. I also cried a little when Ei was talking about how she wept while cradling her dying sister in her arms, but this is one cutscene that will stay with me forever. Now, the music that plays sometimes in Sumeru City will always remind me of this cutscene, and I'll start tearing up again.
    And it's because of the immense sacrifice that Nahida made for Sumeru, Teyvat, and the world as a whole, that I put down quite a bit of money to not only get her, but also her weapon. I've never pulled on the weapons banner until now, someone like her deserves her signature weapon, and not just a cheap 4-star one. She had that much of an effect on me.
    Simply put, Nahida is the best Archon in the game. I doubt any of the other Archons--even the ones for Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya, whom we haven't met yet--would hold a candle to Nahida. Her kindness, benevolence, wisdom, and humility have touched even my stone-cold heart, and thus she is now my favorite Archon.

After all, their goals appear to be similar: defy Celestia and overthrow the Heavenly Principles.
      My guess is he is trying to manipulate the Tsaritsa to obtain the Gnoses of the other Archons, and the Fatui, being loyal to the Tsaritsa, do not know she is being manipulated.
      Then comes the Traveler, who breaks the Tsaritsa free of her puppet master, which causes the advisor to steal all the Gnoses, including the Tsaritsa's, becoming a great monster in the process.
      The Traveler defeats the monster, acquires the Gnoses, becomes an almighty being akin to that of a god, and then journeys to the ruins of Khaenri'ah to take the fight to the Abyss Order and their sibling, aided by the Seven Nations of Teyvat.

    Nahida is but a "branch" of Rukkha that was untainted by frobidden knwoledge, and that Rukkha herself chose to let go as her new self in the new samsara. With no previous memories, Nahida was able to become her own "tree", but upon recollecting all that happened, losing Rukkha is literally losing a part of herself. This is an extremely cool metapgor for change--its a classic in storytelling, but for a reason: when you grow, you must let go of the old survival systems, the parts that are holding you back, so that you can move forward. Letting go of this part of yourself is painful, it leaves you scared and a bit directionless moving forward (like Nahida was for a long time), and has to be mourned (like Nahida does in this scene), but it's necessary. This kind of letting go is what Rukkha did as she devised her plan to combat forbidden knowledge and formed Nahida from her own self. The silver lining is twofold: 1)once you acknowledge this, Rukkha isn't forgotten nor gone at all; she and Nahida are indeed two phases of the same person, with the latter one being born to adapt to the new challenges. 2)the part of yourself that you let go of no loonger decides the direction of your life, but it's still in you, like an old friend.

    Sacrificing not only your life, but your very memory to the people who know and love you just to be erased from history to protect them is the greatest self sacrifice there is.
    Genshin's writing is so good, i doesnt feel like some gacha game plot but an actual experience and life lesson.

      Most gacha games are like this. They focus on the story rather the gameplay. It's quite a feat that Genshin manage to balance between story and gameplay and make it f2p. I'm actually impressed by the fact it's not a full fledged game. And by that I mean, that instead of a gacha it could be a finished project that you actually had to pay for it.

    The last words, the monologue of the forgotten Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, is truly heartbreaking.
    We all nestle under the great tree of wisdom, peering out to perceive the world
    From the earth, and from the rain, we perceive its wonders...
    Once upon a time, I alone dreamed in this world
    In my dreams, everybody would also dream after they fell asleep
    Wild and wonderful thoughts would emerge from their minds
    Some tumbled to the ground, and others floated to the sky
    Connecting all things in the world into one dazzling net
    Among a plethora of worlds, were numerous smaller worlds
    All of fate, finding within the tapestry their brilliant glow
    I gradually understood
    That these indescribable and constantly changing things
    Are the most profound things in the world
    Only they
    Can completely repel the madness
    Only dreams
    Can awaken consciousness from the deepest darkness
    I'm the one who posed this question
    Yet also the one who sought a solution
    Saving the world with the dreams of the people
    Used to be my answer
    And now
    You've also found your own answer
    And I shall return all the dreams to the people
    Goodbye, people of Sumeru
    May you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams

    For me, this is really one of the super sad moments moment in genshin I seen so far, rukkhadevata sacrifice herself with her last thought for kusanali, and the whole of sumeru, during her sacrifice, she took all peoples memories of sumeru that remembers her. Not sure if the archons have forgotten about her or not but sure enough, everyone, even kusanali forgotten her when she come out and don't know why she cry, the only thing she can remember is something is missing for her, sumeru really have the greatest archons in the whole of tervat, but sadly one of the greatest archon was forgotten and left sumeru for the better future

      The archons did forget her aswell, she erased the memories of her stored in the Irminsul which is the collective memory of every living thing on Teyvat (even the abyss sibling), the only exceptions are the "descenders", Irminsul can't collect data from them, so their memory can't be affected by any change on the Irminsul.

But on the other hand, the people of Sumeru have regained the ability of dream and Elezar is gone. I was sad, of course, but I smiled a little when the scene switched to Dunyarzard and Collei. The music is grand too as usual from Genshin.
