Why Did The Traveler Take 500 Years to Wake Up? [Genshin Impact Lore Discussion]

it's not an overstatement to say that the traveler is the most mysterious character in all of tevat not only are their Origins unknown but even the reason they're both here right now has puzzled the minds of many players why did the sustain of heavenly principles trap them into vat and why did The Traveler take 500 years to awaken well today I want to expand on this question not necessarily with conclusive answers but with speculations that might explain why the traveler is currently here and why they took 500 years to revive for my ease I will be separating either as my traveler and lamina's my best sibling so I use this thing pronouns rather than switching between their titles but it's important we begin with their history Lumina either first arrived ativad more than 500 years ago with their gaps currently unknown this is because they traveled from another world that was currently being destroyed and this was among the many chances to find a new home lumine woke up first and divot and waited for her brother during which he slowly grew connections with the continuing citizens as evidenced by the emotional connection she felt for the destruction and the evident Authority She carries a day of this princess in the present time when conoring was destroyed 500 years ago she woke up either and demanded that they leave devot immediately during which they were stopped by the sustainer of heavenly principles and the opening battle leading up to their imprisonment began the problem with this scene is that it lacks the context needed to truly understand sustainer's motivation she states that the Travelers are Outlanders and the Mankind's irrigation is about to come to an end but her actions of sealing them into divot instead of forcing the twins essentially illegal aliens to leave is contradictory why seal them in tevat and furthermore why unseal them within differing time periods we know that lumine needed to go through her adventure and eventually become the abyss princess but we also know that Aether woke up two months before meeting baimon there is a substantial gap between them that is unexplained why separate the Twins and why wait for 500 years well my theory is that the 500 years of preparation and that they need to be at a certain place at a certain time and that that 500 years is simply a waiting period my theory is that The Travelers will eventually need to replace Celestia's God or at least the keeper that is being mentioned in their menu but not in the sense of ruling devot rather they are both meant to recreate the vot and rid of the unpleasantries that plagued it for the many years prior they are both meant to understand the truth of the world and play the cards of burning away the old world and reading it of the consequences of not only the culinary and destruction but also the Abyssal corruption the ire of the Dead gods in the archon war the lament of the three Moon sisters and the corruption of the many deities that come before everything that tainted the Old World perhaps even putting an end to all corruption once and for all through the purification of the conriants and the Redemption and the reconciliation of the archons two sides of the same coin playing two different fields of perspective coming together they both have different perspectives on the same world and have the insight to re-establish a new one well let's begin with this clown via server Theory I considered the idea when I inspected the two stories of The Traveler separately in the positions they would stand for as well as my considerations from the previous videos about Celestia's true intentions in the long run there is a constant theme of conquest and burning the old world away president gention time time again even in the beginning of tivat's conception burning the old world away is a constant term in the book before sun and moon the true Lord and primordial one named fanis was the god who conquered the land of the Bishops essentially destroying the old world to create the tivat we know today thanis was known as a throne as well as an androgynous winged creature that was born of an egg with the establishment of Celestia there became a new world order the aspect of burning is also tied in very well in the current story of genshin the Sarita wishes to burn away the old world after 500 years of waiting for her plans to come into fruition the abyss are essentially planning a new world order by attempting to revive their Homeland after 500 years of Silence and the traveler is currently awake to try and recuperate the states of the Seven Nations by assisting them each of these events happening at the same time cannot be coincidental which is why I believe that it isn't I believe that Celestia is aware of what both the abyss and the fatou are doing and after consideration allows it to happen with little to no resistance why it's because even Gods can erode the erosion of gods is of heavenly principle but stays true for the archons and perhaps even other gods stronger than themselves we have seen Gods lose their ability to lead or Gods who lose their forms out of necessity and I believe that even Celestia's Gods recognize the impact erosion can have on the world of devot thanis when it first conceived devot had four Shades to assist it the god of time is the Wrath was amongst them is the Wrath is a god with close ties with the archons and Humanity serving as the closest middleman that we have at the moment in the lore given we don't know who the other three shades are canonically therefore it's possible that she's the reason everything is being put into motion all at the same time and as the god of time she would have been able to see far into the future to know if there would be a need for a new world order at least three of the seven gods that currently exist as archons are undergoing through erosion so what more the Gods in Celestia who have existed for thousands of years years we know that ingenshin immortality is nothing more than an extended lifespan and you are bound to still Lose Yourself despite everything now do you understand why I can't give any conclusive evidence the concept of time travel is just too difficult if a literary card to play but I digress now for this Theory to truly function we need a motivation why do I say that the traveler will replace them well I want to look at The Travelers themselves and their correlation with the primordial God there isn't a lot but there are three specifications that really tie them together one is that both Thanos and the siblings come from other worlds and are not initially from tevot this was hinted by Anjo in the world quest of 2.4 and why he was so adamant on finding the book in the first place because it contained evidence that Celestia wasn't originally the creators of the planet itself but rather colonized it Thanos is known as a throne while The Travelers share Celestial and Angelic resemblances to a Seraph in the opening cutscene we see the Traveler's original Wings which bear resemblance to a Seraph but we also know that the traveler is the most attuned creature to the nature of devot even beyond the limitations of the archons as a puts it the traveler is an exception The Traveler can control the elements without a vision and the traveler has a longer lifespan than most Immortals and devant and number three is that their allegedly an exception to the erosion of the Heavenly principles if Zhang Lee and xiao's conversations regarding the Traveler's role as a witness is indicative of anything furthermore this isn't the first time that a throne appeared in this world according to the book before sun and moon there was a second Throne that descended and waged war against fannis and the shades however the second Throne Was Defeated given that Celestia as we see today are still in charge this means that evad had a history of conquest and even Invasion so the Traveler's role as a new day to usurp Celestia wouldn't be all that tested but the question is why I've just mentioned that last time an alien entity came to devot they were killed why were the Travelers put into suspended animation instead and was it intentional because this Theory can go both ways one is that it wasn't intentional to keep them alive the sustainer had every intention of killing them right here and right now and it was just out of the twins Divine resilience that they held on the second is that they were meant to be put in aesthesis until the final pieces of the puzzles were put into place in the Traveler's character menu we see this the keeper is fading away the creator has not yet come but the world shall burn no more for you shall Ascend the keeper and the Creator are unknown characters at the moment so let's try to fill in the gaps with what we know the Creator may be famous and if the creator has not yet come that means fanis was virtually absent after the pursuit Before the archon War The Keeper could be anyone it could be the scene of heavenly principles who is as her title suggests it's a sustainer of balance thus keeping tavat's laws in place it could be pymon who seems to lose her memories but appears to be stronger in the future given the hints we know in the past one hint of pine one's true Origins comes in a 2.2 event this is followed up by the aronara quest and the 2.4 World quest that just makes this so much more suspicious if you want to put it in a literal sense the word keeper could also be a reference to Dane's Leaf When Dane's Leaf's character card came out we received the title bookkeeper meaning that Dane has a secondary role perhaps connected to Airman cell and delay lines given that a bow is a kind of Branch but in all honesty there is a need for a new World Order devot's world is horribly wounded after thousands of years of corruption in wars and The Travelers being the New Hope of the people is a fascinating outlook on why Celestia would even consider bringing them back in their own weird way The Travelers are playing both sides with the intention of helping them maybe in the next couple of chapters they'll realize that they're both fighting for the same future who knows maybe Aether will finally have a motivation to stay in tevat similar to how the mean has a motivation to stay as well through the conrians that's last year for all intents and purposes hasn't done anything without being prompted by human or circumstantial causes for all the time that it existed it was a lawfully neutral entity that simply upholds New World Order perhaps they just wanted to keep The Travelers in Devon because it messed with the natural order in the universe but again why not just kill them or why not force them to leave perhaps there really was a reason maybe we just don't know yet but that's it for me today regardless my name is Austin thank you for chilling with me this theory was out of the left field in all honesty as much as I personally really loved the theory that the Travelers will Ascend in the future and replace Celestia as the third Throne or the third God it does have a lot of holes in it that I personally will be trying to disprove in the next video anyway I'll see you all next time [Music]
