Is Zhongli and all the Archons cursed? (Genshin Impact 4.4 Lore and Theories)

if you or I became Immortal how long do you think we'd be able to effectively perform a memory recall on long-term memories well as it stands right now the answer is we don't know there is seemingly no upper limits on the capacity of a long-term memory however it's important to note every time you recall that memory it changes a little because your brain encodes memories when they're formed and re-encodes them every time they were called altering them ever so slightly the brain truly is a wondrous thing which takes us to tat where long- lived beings such as gods and Dragons seemingly have unab banga brains which are susceptible to the curse of erosion I'm sure humans do too but they just don't live long enough for it to take to effect so what is erosion well there's none better to explain it than someone who has already directly Fallen victim to its AG daha the memories of rocks do not last long those memories that survive are rooted in powerful emotion but as as time passes so these memories Fade Into Obscurity erosion is the world's greatest destroyer of memories erosion ground aa's Consciousness into Oblivion slowly he forgot the face of his old friend and his memories of Defending leoa Harbor disintegrated a daha describes erosion as a force that causes memories to fade away and point and blank called it the world's greatest destroyer of memories he later goes on to call it a natural and Unstoppable force of nature however later Jean Lee actually Clues Us in on who's responsible for erosion at least on him even I cannot avoid it but there is something I understand better than most when the door opens it is time to leave the greater the power the greater the danger erosion may bring about the Millennia may come and go but even a stone May Tire personally sealing away an old friend this is just one form of erosion I have endured people abandon and surrender the things they love to pursue the right path perhaps this is the erosion imposed on me by the natural order of this world wait wa hey hey shout out the localization team y mother uh anyway they absolutely it in CN he says it was imposed on him by the Heavenly principles yeah pretty I feel like this is something you want to include but hey what do I know what do I know this was after he told us that he too will one day fall victim to erosion and is part of the reason why he steep down from being the Geo archon of leeway as to him erosion is most dangerous when there's immense power at play Aro aahot I don't think I used Argo right there I shouldn't I in asa's case his memories of his contract with with morx and morx himself completely faded into Oblivion so when humans began mining at the chasm and hurt the lines AA attacked them before being stopped by morax asaha would then agree to be sealed away but erosion would strike again causing him to completely forget he agreed to be sealed away I can't man this guy can't remember bro I can just imagine him just attacking the miners at at the chasm and Jong Lee just pulls up AA you must stop who the are you this all eventually led to Jang Le Second Story Quest where he tried to break out from under the tree this is how erosion can affect one individual person however remember the Jeong Le clip from earlier he stated that sealing away a friend was just a form of erosion he has experienced Jong Lee's relationship with erosion is uh interesting although he States it's inevitable as it stands right now the memory loss aspect of it has seemingly taken no effect on him as he himself States his memory of sealing age dah away a thousand years ago remains Crystal Clear one thing I thought was especially not worthy and jungle ramble about erosion as a clarification made between himself as someone from tat and the traveler as someone well not from tat when speaking about himself he States this but I was a god of mankind my identity may change but my eyes will bear witness to the history of humanity anyone speaking of the traveler he says this there are many events of Ages past many secrets that lie hidden they have been eroded by time forgotten by the people abandoned but you are capable of finding them and bringing them into the light those who come to witness will witness those who are born to remember will remember notice the extra tidbit he adds on about the traveler being able to remember things he knows the traveler is able to remember things for two reasons one because the traveler well not froms they are not subject to the Natural order of this world and thus erosion has no effect on them and to well Erol you know just just with the memories of people from tats but not of Outlanders because well they're not from tat why do I find that funny while jeang Lee might be able to witness things he knows he might not be able to remember things because of the two things we mentioned earlier jeang Lee also inadvertently tells us why the curse of erosion exists he mentions that there are many secrets of the past that have been eroded by time and forgotten by the people events being forgotten by humanity is bound to happen as if they weren't there to witness it and it wasn't recorded then people won't bother with it however into V there are beings that are old enough to witness the past that the heavens want forgotten and as such this is where the curse of erosion might come from a desire to ensure that the past is remembered by a selective few that being just anyone in Celestia erosion seemingly affects different species in different ways in the case of the Gods it seems inconsistent I won't lie I mean Jang Lee's been around for over 6,000 years and seems perfectly fine and we know for a fact he's the oldest of the archons and yet he took no preventative measures to combat his own inevitable how do I say this coming of erosion we don't know how old venty and a are but we know that at the very least they are younger than Jang Lee yet they've gone balls to the wall trying to fight erosion a infamously created a puppet and shut herself in the pl of eia to Ward it off and with venty it's not confirmed or anything but given venty does take long naps when he's not in monat which could be for hundreds of years at a time it could be this is done to Stave off erosion fos and Nita are probably too young for erosion to be a problem for them in humans case the inconsistency is even worse as we know the ones who have been cursed to have a long lifespan like D sliff and the hilly CHS in the chasm are experiencing erosion Dane finds it harder and harder to sift through his memories and the hilly CHS being in the chasm are in constant Agony from erosion yet in the case of finina she has never experienced erosion in the 500 years she was alive she never mentioned that unless I missed itet even commented that her mind is no stronger than that of any other ordinary human I mean what the man maybe she's a warrior we got to tip it bro maybe she is just a warrior moving on to Elemental beings we don't know how long AG daha has existed for but it's been a long ass time something about like mountains forming on Earth but he fully succed to erosion nervet is once again too young despite having inherited the memories of the previous Sovereign of water who died long ago however the biggest conundrum is the fact that the oldest being we have ever met into that has seemingly not experienced erosion a pep one of the original sovereigns had no trouble recalling memories from events that predate nearly everything in modern tat be the Heavenly principles arriving unto tat or neong returning to the world with Forbidden Knowledge she is far far far older than any of the other beings we've talked about yet the word erosion doesn't even seem to exist in her vocabulary and I cannot for the life of me fathom why maybe the sovereigns are just built different who knows one final point that isn't really related to erosion but rather Jang Le's relationship to the Heavenly principles is that they seem to have how do I say this a lot in common for instance one thing I thought was very interesting was how Jang Lee spoke about leeway's future even without a God above this remains a nation of men I was once their God I ought to be here to witness their rise and fall he's almost stating as if their fall in the future some sort of pre-ordained event which is pretty similar to how Celestia views this issue I mean they they they'd be cheering this sort of sentiment all absolutely absolutely that city is going to fall that's the that's the way of life we made with the Tiara fra simply writing quotes all Prosperity must someday end furthermore his alt voice lines all mention the Heavenly principles like how do we how do he drop the ball that's badly in Translation guys anytime he SS I just say the voice line myself the will what the am I say with your chest the will of the Heavenly principles marches forward it could be he actually does come from Celestia but the way he stated that erosion was imposed on him by the Heavenly principles makes me think otherwise just because imposed imposed how like by Authority by force yeah I could be wrong though who knows
