Who were the First and Oldest Gods in Teyvat? (Genshin Impact 4.5 Lore and Theory)

however the Lord of flowers never knew a love that could be as sweet as wine let alone the pess of human emotion brilliant as she was even she could not easily predict when these little beings would finally realize the truth have these so-called Gods not been Superfluous to you since the [Music] beginning Gods into Vats are a complex topic because as discussed numerous times into that there exist two kinds of gods there's the gods who walk amongst humanity and then there's the real Gods the ones who control everything from their island in the sky up above the ones we should be thanking for everything we will henceforth be calling the shades to avoid any confusion moving forward powers and Authority aside the one key thing that separates the two groups of gods is Origins what do I mean by this I want you to ask yourself where do the gods come from stunned silence takes the crowd if you're thinking to yourself oh don't know use a honest s I like you and that's because truth be told we we don't we don't know where the gods come from this isn't star contrast with the shades who were created before the human realm even came into existence by the hands of the primordial one a progenitor God hailing from Beyond the Stars quote when the Eternal Throne of the heavens came the world was made a new then the true Lord the primordial one came forth and did battle against the seven terrifying sovereigns Dragon Lords of the old world the primordial one created shining shades of itself and the number of these Shades was four you see when the primordial one decided to do battle with the sovereigns the primordial one saw that it was outnumbered so you know what the primordial one did the primordial one sat there and simply chuckled huh created four Mighty Gods from itself and proceeded to beat the out of the sovereigns this is what separates the shades from the gods they were made at the Earth's rebirth and after defeating the sovereigns in 40 years flat spent 360 years helping to create the human realm quote the mountains and rivers were made and the Seas and oceans accepted those who were belled and those who would not kneel the primordial one in one of its Shades created the birds of the air the beasts of the earth and the fish of the sea together they also created the flowers grass and Tre before finally creating humans our ancestors numerous as the stars in the sky uncountable as the sand on the shore from that time our ancestors made a covenant with the primordial one and so entered into a new age they exist beyond the human realm and thus aren't bound to it unlike the Gods on Earth who for a Time seemingly never existed at all as a matter of fact it was our good old pal enju enjo I the you say that nigga's name who who informed us of this fact the reason the book before sun and moon is so important is that it details what the world was like before the gods walked the Earth however this isn't exactly true or it's simply meant to be taken literally as in when the gods walked the Earth the current understanding of the lore operates as such there was once a time of great prosperity in one Civilized Nation Under the heavens Divine envoys and emissaries walked amongst Humanity to bring the good word of the Heavens to the people now Abu malikat speaks of these days gone by in her conversation with god king Desir saying quote it was a far away time of calm and peace Divine onvoy spoke openly with the people then bringing them good words from the heavens these envoys were the Ze race when Nabu Malika was speaking to King Des about the dangers of continuing his Pursuit for Forbidden Knowledge he remarks quotes nevertheless hide my lesson in your heart remember the punishment that once was inflicted on the Fallen envoys of Heaven this era would cease following the downfall of the zeler who were cursed following the war with the second who came quot but in time Invaders descended from Beyond the firmaments bringing with them destruction overturning Rivers spreading plagues and though the Invaders brought War to my former kin they also brought about illusions that could breakthrough shackles to the lands but the master of the heavens consumed by fear for the rising tide of delusion and breakthroughs sent down the Divine nails to mend the land laying waste of the Mortal realm we then suffered the torment of Exile stripped was our connection to heaven heaven to our powers of Enlightenment so yes you heard correctly to was the war between the primordial one and that bastard crackhead Dragon King nalong coming in for round two souped up on forbidden knowledge that ruins everything well played brother if you can't have this world no one can now with that said while it's unknown when or how she became a god this should in theory make Nabu Malika one of if not the first God tied to the human realm I mean in one of her first interactions with greater Lord Ruka dealta she said quotes praise be to the winged one Lord over all the kingdoms of the land I am a spirit created at the beginning I am a flickering illusion I am the shimmering light that flows from the eyes of the Creator given it would make no sense if she became a god following her and her races Fall From Grace the other alternative is she was always a God and if she was always a God and was created at the beginning then that would indeed make her the oldest God we know about given both she and the zil race were from the given she and the zelar were there from the dawn of the creation of the human realm to act as envoys now this of course would make enjo's statement wrong unless of course again he literally meant before the gods walked the Earth in which case Nabu Malika was perhaps somewhere in the sky as opposed to the Earth which would in fact fit given the zelay did have palaces beyond the realm of the human such as the Moon Palace now this is complete speculation on my part but I'd imagine the second oldest God into that was greater Lord radata given she's an avatar of irol now this one is tough given we don't actually know but I view it as such IR Soul should have existed before even the arrival of the Heavenly principles because it's the root of the dendro element itself and given the dendro Dragon existed before the Heavenly principles we know the elements djo predates the principles and thus so should erans Soul now with that said given the Heavenly principles know how important soul is I mean hell when the cataclysm struck cona all the AR were summoned to Celestia except for greater Lord Ruka devata because she had the more important task of protecting irol it would then make sense that following the remaking of the World by FS Ruka deata came into being to act as the guardian and caretaker of ult furthermore it would appear she had knowledge of the war with the second who came given in her conversation with Mikata she stated quotes if one dares to imitate The Forbidden Arts only Calamity awaits at the edge of divine knowledge however given she had access to Man soul she you know could have just Googled that after those two I can only think of two Gods whose existence coincided with the zil Race's existence in order it should be guong first and then Rex lapis the stone tablets of somewhere tell no I'll get the source I'll get the source gu assembly the stone tablets of gu assembly right quotes in the beginning when the people assembl to farm the land a god named guong descended whose Dominion was over dust and whose reach shrouded the skies for thousands of miles around the god laid down four Commandments for the people then another God descended whose Dominion was over Gio and who brought the people of leeway to this place jointly they shephered the people for their protection now we know Rex lapis existed just slightly before the end of the Moon sisters as the solar rilon set writes quote it is said that when Rex lapis was still young the son was a chariot that raced across the Earth when the three sisters of the night sky were murdered in a Calamity the solar Chariot fell into a deep gold G and now given Rex lapis was still alive during this time that would also mean guong was alive during this time given she descended onto Earth first as to the question of where they descended from it would seem the answer is simply the heavens when when Rex laus died G tells us his soul returned to the heavens given you know returned and you know but this seems to be more spiritual than anything uh should this hold true however then that would mean God King Reus also existed in the same capacity if you are curious however god king destat existed long before Remis given jbad was able to rise and fall before Remis finally descended however keep in mind despite this desat must also be far younger than someone like Nabu Malika given she had to tell him everything of the old world in an age she said was long gone he himself admitted to not knowing anything of this ancient history writing quotes she once described the night sky adorned with three bright moons to me in a language I have now forgotten yes the number of moons should be three now with that said I do want to throw in you know back to Remis it is difficult that guy cuz at some point before establishing rura he went to the primordial sea and received a goblet from the original Hydro Sovereign but when that was in relation to him creating rumia who knows so where does this leave us there are at least three confirmed gods that existed during the Divine Envoy ERA with Nabu Malika being the oldest just being described as a spirit who was created at the beginning then guong the second eldest who just descended and Rex lapis the third eldest who just descended however I speculate that greater Lord rukat was the second eldis crafted sometime after the world's creation to guard Erol so far as I know these are the first gods that came into being after the creation of the human realm but before the downfall of the zel race interesting to note that if this is indeed an exhaustive list morx is the only remaining God from the old world now with that said the oldest three who came into being after the Great War should be desit first Remis second and then probably aeria not much is known about where desit came from other than he's ominously a son of the sky Remis just seemingly spawned in one day at the primordial sea where where the original Hydro Sovereign just inexplicably gave him unsurpassed Authority in the form of a goblet and then one day just descended un whatever fragments remained of the first era what is now Fontaine and established rumia sometime after the rise and fall fall of jbab this entire interaction must have happened at least after the existence of desat and finally there is aera who came into being after being created by the shade of life to act as a heart for the primordial sea important to note she existed at the same time as rumia she committed the sin of reappropriated the primordial sea was locked up by Celestia however following the death of Remis quotes it was the heavens who chose the Mistress of many Waters commanding her to return from her primeval prison to take over from the gold and King and the rule the sea runes so that's that as for the rest of the Gods like ventian gang it's n impossible to State how long for instance he existed as a wisp before finally creating a form and it's even worse for people like the twins who are just described as incarnations of lightning with no AIDS attached whatsoever even when viny was a wisp he wasn't even a god yet I mean still the pattern just seems to be most Gods came into existence following the onset of the archon war interesting isn't it
