Guizhong of Chenyu Vale - Her Untold History (Genshin Theory and Speculation)

[Music] hello everyone and welcome to a brand new Theory and speculation video today I want to talk about Guang and why I think she may be from chenu Vil there were so many details hidden throughout chenu Veil and its quests so I want to talk about what led me to this idea now this video does contain spoilers for The Quest listed on screen now so if you haven't done those you have been warned with all that said though let's get right into the [Music] video before we get into the theory section of this video I want to briefly go over what we know about guangong and her lore so far guong also known as henus was the god of dust long ago she met morax and made a field of of glazes where she presented him with a stone dumbbell known as the memory of dust as a mark of their pledge even though there was no formal contract between them the two became allies and ruled the GU assembly together they were assisted by another God marchosias and many adep eyes such as Cloud retainer and street Wood Rambler as well as the assembly grew guong worked hard on studying mechanics an Epal Abode known as the realm of clouds would be created to store some of the evil and ancient artifacts that guong collected in her studies including ruing machines from cona guong would also meet with Rex lapis and Cloud retainer a top mount aung to eat together and occasionally discuss mechanics eventually though these good times would come to an end and the archon war would begin early on in the war a fierce battle occurred in the guy Plains in which black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered after after this battle guong would ask morax to forget about the stone dumbbell and she would die amidst the glaze elas soon after a massive flood would sweep across deua Marsh and the GU Plains forcing the inhabitants of the area to move South of Mount tanh after a 10-day trip and with the assistance of mar choses and the adep ey the people would arrive at what is today known as leua Harbor now when we finally reach chenu Vil we meet or hear about a to of three adep ey those being fuin lingan and the herbl Lord throughout the world quest series Chu's blessings of sunen Jade we learn about the history of these three adep eye as well as an unnamed God who they used to call their Master not much information is given about their former Master but we do know that she was female fugene also described her as kind saying the archon war was the true evil during the archon war this God decided she would need to defeat morax either to become an archon or to just survive knowing that she wasn't strong enough to take him down she caused the bassi river to flood as a final attempt the three Adept knew that this would destroy chenuil so they defected against their Master lingan hered the people to shelter herbl fought against their former master and fujin climbed Mount lingang throwing the V of rade into the Waters of the boui river all of these efforts combined did save chenuil but it came at a cost the herbl Lord was said to have perished in her battle against her former Master however lingan and fujin said that she has departed chenuil and is now residing in leoa Harbor as such she could very well be Chong xong anyways fujin would lose most of her power which caused her to be trapped at kp's rest for thousands of years lingan would return to the forest and the mountains avoiding the humans who lived in the area so with all of this lore set down let's dive into why I think weong could very well be the former master of chenuil to start off let's talk about the plan that the former Master decided to go with flooding the bashou river interestingly when guong died a flood also swept across the GU Plains forcing the people south of course the river that rungs alongside the guy Plains is the very same boui river that runs through chenu Veil the timeline of the floods would then line up making this seem like more than just a coincidence now I'd also like to bring up the lore of two weapons those being Jade fall Splendor and the primordial Jade cutter Jade Falls Splendor talks about the history of the people of chenuil and how they once resided in the chasm after the Divine nail fell however they traveled North and eventually settled in chenu Vil however the lore also says that they once believed in a now forgotten God whose history is consigned to dust as for the primordial Jade cutter it was made by morax for a certain someone though this friend is now gone interestingly the lore of this weapon says that this friend is long forgotten and that the feelings between them have been reduced to dust on the wind in both of these the use of the word dust could connect back to the god of dust and the term forgotten could be referencing the unnamed master of chenuil Additionally the primordial Jade cutter is a sword and if guong was the certain someone it was intended as a gift for it wouldn't be the only time she has been linked to using a sword in records of the Gallant dust we learn about a maiden in a long Indigo robe that walked along the shores of the boui river people who saw this Maiden said that there was a scent of gazley in the air which of course are flowers heavily tied with guong one night a certain Hunter encountered this maiden and she saw her branching a sword against several perilous Shadows after the fight the maiden was nowhere to be seen and only a pile of bloody dust remains now then I'd also like to talk about A peculiar area in Lea known as Su slope while in this area the sky will turn dark and gray and distant areas will appear unusual usually dark almost like the air is full of dust Additionally the design of the entrance to the shrine within the area is unique in Lea at least it was before chenu Vil came out as similar Styles can be found in this new area before the shrine is open though you can see a unique symbol on the store a four pedal flower within a hexagon of course both the four pedal flower and the hexagon are common motifs of guang's design sign perhaps after guang's lingering energy was sealed it was placed in suu slope acting as her final resting place ruin machines which guong had in her possession can be found within the shrine as well so some of her possessions may have been buried with her one of these possessions may be the dull ring we can find within the green gem embedded into the ring is Jade which could have been from chenu Vil even though we have seen guong in a cut scene we didn't see her hands so we can't confirm if the ring was hers or not speaking of this cut scene it also show Guang working in her Workshop I used to think that this was the realm of clouds but after traveling through chenu Vil I don't think so anymore the design more closely resembles the medicine pots found around lingshu Courtyard and the background of the area also closely resembles depictions of chenu vale additionally the tree on J's desk is extremely similar to the one found in lingu Courtyard before the world quest silently the butterfly crosses the valley the color of the dust that guong is using also somewhat resembles the color of the tree after it has been restored during the mentioned Quest still with all of this said why would guong attack morax well for starters the two never had a formal contract they were just two people walking the same path for their own reasons guong was not an evil God but the evil of the archon war forced her to make a tough decision so either wanting to become an archon or just wanting to survive guong decided to attack morax she knew she wasn't as strong as him though so that's why she decided to flood the Bashi River first when that plan didn't work out thanks to the efforts of the three adep ey she decided she had no other choice but to face morax headon however we are told about guong death and there is no mention of guong and moro's fighting still though the cut scene about guong is told from the perspective of cloud retainer and she arrived after guong was already dead as such she wouldn't know exactly what happened during the battle only morax and perhaps the oxes as well witnessed the battle though neither Jang Lee nor xia have said anything about Guang even when we repair the Guang ballista with Jang Lee he makes no mention of Guang herself perhaps guang's betrayal is still a sore topic for him and the lack of a contract between them may be why he is so fond of contracts today now in the cut scene that shows gu jong's death we don't see any other gods around who could have been the enemy they faced it could be possible that they retreated but given all the evidence I think it was guong versus morax as I said earlier during during the battle in the guy Plains black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered this quote only mentions dust and rocks which tie back to guong and morax respectively the symbol shown on the seal created by the yaka also somewhat resembles the range AIDS found in chenu Vale with two pieces on the side and a dot in the middle this may be a bit of a stretch but I still wanted to mention it still this seal contains the lingering energy of guong emitted after her death which may have been sealed in Shu slope hence the darkness now then I want to talk about guang's design and how it links her to chenuil and the three adep ey looking at her hairpiece it represents each of the three adep ey of chenu veil the two intertwined hexagons represent a swirling snake the herbl Lord the fish represents a carp fugene and the tassel represents a Swani lingan of course this isn't the only designed choice that links guong to chenuil earlier I mentioned how Guang would meet with Rex lapis and Cloud retainer on Mount alsong at their table here each of them had their own assigned seat Cloud retainer seat was in the southwest facing her abod Rex lapis's seat was in the Southeast facing Lea Harbor and guong seat was in the north facing chenu Vale of course I also have to mention glazes and there are quite a few connections with these flowers in modern times these flowers are rare with most of them being grown artificially however some do still grow in the Wilds they can be found overlooking Thea Harbor at the foot of Mountan lean above yai Valley within lingshu Courtyard and in the cave where bonus killed manius yai Valley and lingshu Courtyard are the only adep abodes where glazes grow which would make sense if guong was their master additionally in the Lea archon quests we learn that gazes can listen to people sing if they can hear singing why can't they hear everything else perhaps like fujin or the herbl Lord guong is still alive though her power is very weak at the moment she may be able to listen to the world through the glazes though she can't do much else maybe one day in the future we'll get a quest that involves us finding out where she is and restoring her power so she can live in an era after the archon war getting back on track though there is one more thing I need to mention about glazes back in the chasm there is a place known as glaze Peak as I said earlier the people of chenuil once resided in the chasm as such glaze Peak could have been named after the flower their God loved the most meaning guong may have ruled in the chasm before moving up with her people to chenu Vil I'd also like to mention the cleansing Bell a device created by Guang the symbols on the spell especially those at the bottom resemble some of the designs found on architecture found in both sua slope and chenu Veil its description also says it has a life of its own so perhaps this is where guong went after losing most of her power finally I'd like to quickly mention the world quest three-fold expectations in this Quest we travel within the realm of the teapot located in shaing village when you enter this realm you will find that it highly resembles the realm of clouds which could be another hint towards guang's past in chenuil anyways that's pretty much it for my thoughts on Guang and why I think she is the unnamed God of chenu Vil if you want to hear more of my thoughts on topics I mentioned in this video I recommend my video on the seven wonders of chenu Vil and my lore video that talks all about Guang I would love to hear what ideas you have about guong and chenuil in the comments below as well anyways that's it for this video thank you so much for watching sources and further readings are also in the description if you want to check them out I hope you all have an amazing day and I'll see you all in the next [Music] video
