True Meaning of Cataclysm | Genshin Impact Theory EP.2

in this video we will discuss the reason behind the cataclysm 500 years ago we will also speculate on what the fatoui abyss order and kenriyah are all planning it starts right now throughout the game we are constantly reminded of a cataclysm that happened 500 years ago an incident that changed the view of the syriza and occurrence closely tied with barbados and the dragons to vollen and during also an event that destroyed a civilization in kenriyah so what was the cause i believe that the reason behind the cataclysm has a deeper secret which was hinted to us by mihoyo from the very beginning in plain sight if you are not familiar with the symbol i will give you a brief description the symbol called the triquetra dates back to the iron ages in spiritual practice this symbol represents the concept of unending continuation life death and rebirth now alongside this triquetra symbol we also see a similar symbol littered everywhere in the game the cordonary quaternary or also known as the coronary knot symbolizes four directions or seasons now for the sake of our theory let's focus on the meanings behind these two symbols the cyclical life and coordinary the symbol of division within the cyclical life you know seasons now how do these two things answer our question behind the cataclysm the short answer is in the world of ganshin impact humanity's cycle of life will always repeat itself if this is hindered in any way humanity goes poof to unpack this hypothesis let's explore the hints within the game these four artifacts contain many symbolisms to the cyclical life and its divisions the tldr of the story goes something like this during the civilization humanity had the ability to communicate with celestia directly the gods help humans to prosper over time humanity begins to question the gods and the gods did not answer so humans went into the depths of this world for answers after a while humans grew prideful and ambitious and tries to force their way into the garden of the gods the gods got pissed off now to briefly go over the divisions or seasons within the story in those days life was weak and the earth was blanketed in unending ice this signifies humanity's struggle without the guidance of the gods eternal ice begins to thaw and the first fires were still new humanity's prosperity under the gods sparked curiosity and humans began to question the gods ancient flames were extinguished amidst the first falling rain humans begin to thirst for knowledge and the truth waters ran dry as thunder first pierced the skies humans become arrogant and challenges the gods now if we take the hints given from these artifacts the words spoken by the sustainer of heavenly principles in the very beginning of the game starts to make more sense irrigation of mankind now if the cataclysm was caused by humanity's rebellion against the gods or irrigation of mankind and the cyclical life is destined to continue what are the fatoui the abyss order and kenria planning the future abyss order and ken riya all share a few commonalities their opposition to the order of this world and wants to end the cyclical life engage in impact for saritsa we can find that she is planning to rebel against the divine in the travail trailer for lumeen during the we will be reunited trailer states until the abyss has engulfed the thrones my war with destiny will see no end destiny derives from the translated word chun li in chinese or chun-li in korean both literally means decree of heaven or order of the world in the case of dane's life and the views of ken riyah he openly states that he detests deities in ganyu's trailer and even continues in the travail trailer saying that the people from kenriyah will defy this world with the power from beyond now i speculate that the power from beyond means non-elemental powers that are not associated with the gods now although their methods may be different their goals are the same to end the cyclical life predestined by the divine now as i mentioned in the previous episode barbados relations with cyclical life poses a problem to these factions even if barbados dislikes the idea of ruling and enforcing laws and even if he hates celestia his existence holds the key to the cyclical nature of this world this becomes even more clear at the end of daneslav's quest how does a flower explain barbados significance to cyclical life in the we will be reunited trailer lumen comes across a flower the dandelion now if you've completed this quest and watched this trailer before it's easy to assume that this dandelion in the trailer is in fact the same dandelion at the end of daneslav's quest this however is false upon completing the quest and re-watching the trailer i spent hours trying to find the exact location of this dandelion in the trailer then when i found the actual location i actually felt really stupid because it was so obvious the thousand wins temple a location related to the god of time wind and the moon now if we take a step back and dissect the meaning of the dandelion one thing becomes very clear the dandelion is the prime example of cyclical life i understand that other plants also go through the same cycle of life death and rebirth so what's so special about the dandelion a dandelion's life cycle hinges on one crucial factor [Music] without the wind its cycle of life cannot continue taking things even further mihoyo adds a subtle symbolism inside the trailer lumine comes across this dandelion and cherishes it for a fleeting moment only to be trampled symbolizing lumine's ultimate goal to end the cyclical life created by the gods now the question is why did mihoya use two dandelions from different locations in my personal opinion this symbolizes the separation between aether and lumeen but by using the dandelion this suggests that aether and lumine are in fact related figuratively and literally now whether this is true or not is up for debate but one thing is for certain the sheer amount of hints given to us between the god of wind and cyclical life cannot be understated it's hinted that the role of barbados may actually be necessary for the story to unfold let's take a look at the prayers to the firmament this is the fifth prayers artifact the story of this artifact goes something like this after humans attempted to enter the garden of the gods things settled down by the intervention of the wind but humans still reached out to the island in the sky hoping that its promises were real to uncover the truth the chief priest goes into the depths of this world there he finds a warning the truth that no one wants to hear the lore within these artifacts could possibly be a foresight or a parallel to the events of the cataclysm the intervention of the wind which was necessary to prolong the total destruction of humanity but after this intervention some uncover the truth behind this world undoubtedly fatoui abyss order and kenria all knows this truth which is probably the reason why they are trying to rebel against the divine but why does uncovering this truth end in the destruction of humanity what is the secret of celestia and the true meaning of this [Music] world you
