[Genshin Impact] Blessed Messiah and the Tower of Ai 

Lyrics for my friends who need it I did take some artistic license with the translation for the purposes of making it match the genshin universe and to make it a little more understandable I hope! Only children survived in the barren wasteland Holding each other’s small hands They believe unconditionally, that in sickness and health “We share out joy and pain as one.” Divine judgment has been executed on the foolish mortals Who arrogantly thought that they could replace the gods Preventing the world’s destruction is the Tower of Ai The lifespan of paradise is lit at the top of the tower A message was brought to the village of youth, a prophecy It ordained the child who was to become the next messiah The blessings sealed within the tower Are 9 blessings that only the messiah can receive So we will go with you to the tower To save our paradise from destruction To get yourself a blessing Beat your heart out Try as hard as you can to get a glory Take your friend’s hand If you trust in each other then you have nothing to fear At the door to the first blessing The messiah reached out to the [Blooming Waves] Then, unexpectedly a young man put his hand out and said “We share our joy and pain as one!” The messiah was pushed away and the first blessing was stolen Those friends seem to hate each other The swordsman threw himself through the second door And took the [Fiery Banquet] his eyes burning red The older sister won the [Graceful Sunlight] smiling triumphantly Frustrated, the younger sister ran towards the [Peaceful Darkness] I was the one who was chosen You can't keep it all to yourself We won’t let you How much can greed change a person? The alchemist took note of the [Trembling Earth] The poet recited a verse to the [Rumble of Thunder] To receive a blessing Sharpen your mind Grab a glory for yourself Quickly as you can Where have all my friends gone? Is everyone against me? The exorcist took the [Rondo of Whirlwind] The twin sister pushed her brother away Stepping towards the [Garden of Silver Snow] Her tears of joy froze before they left her eyes The final blessing is the [Fetal Movement of Magma] In the end even the twin brother deceived the messiah And smiled proudly Betrayed by the friends that they had trusted And with all the blessings stolen away Holding a torch with no flame The messiah heads up towards the altar The true meaning of the blessings sealed in the tower Was the messiah’s atonement [You, who endured this ordeal with those 9 sacrifices May now extend the life of your paradise] Even as we are drowned in the rough sea Dancing through the hellfire Falling to our knees in a merciless drought Losing our sanity in eternal darkness Swallowed by the great earth Did you really think we’d let you go alone? Even as we are struck down by lightning Torn into by the hurricane Being frozen to the bone and soul Crawling through the lava We will never stop believing that in sickness and health We share our joy and pain as one With these innocent sacrifices continue the torch relay The chains of foolishness will never be broken Helped by their trusted friends The messiah raises up the torch And the glorious sound of bells rings out across the morning sky And the messiah who accepted the gods’ will Sits there, laughing alone For they had just created 9 sorrows Now they reach their hand towards the altar

OMG PLS THE FACT YOU MADE PAIMON THE MAIN CHARACTER AND EVERYONE LOVES HER IN THIS. I LOVE IT! 😭💞💓💕💖

Last picture killed me. Original is sad enough but when it's genshin.... Incredible work, i love this

I JUST LOVE THE WAY YOU PUT DAINS AS THE MESSENGER

This is too wholesome. How can RU-vid only recommended this to me after it was released for more than a week!! The way you choose every character for every role in the song. It fits so well!!! - Choosing Kaeya to be the first one who entered the door, implying that although he is always a dishonest person, and deceives everyone around him with his smile. He still has kindness in him, enough that he is willing to take the "blessing" (curse) first in place of his friends. The line "We share our joy and pain as one" with that smile on his face making him look like the first villain who started the betrayal. But as the story end, that line he said was just like a way to remind Paimon about their decisions were their own choice and they did it because they wanted it. - Jean and Barbara in place of the two sisters. Barbara has a bright characteristic, and even innocent at some point. However, when she saw Jean entering the third door, she wouldn't hesitate to go to the fourth one so she would be able to follow her sister, despite the scary darkness awaiting that could make one lose their sanity. - And the twin's part, too. Lumine just pushed Aether away and enter the door leading to the "Garden of Silver Snow". It looked like Aether was about to go in but then Lumine decided to take her brother's place to lengthen his life span just a bit more. The line "Her tear of joy" is just both a lie and truth. It was a lie because it looked like she was happy for being able to steal the "blessing". It was truth for she was able to make her brother live a bit longer and also saving Paimon. - And the fact that I have been used to the cheerful and optimistic Paimon makes the last part hurt even more. As she found out the cruel truth about the blessing, realizing although she could become the next Messiah and save all the people in her world, she couldn't save her 9 closest friends who sacrificed their lives so she wouldn't have to suffer. - Every moment when a character stepped into a room, you drew them as true villains. And anyone who plays genshin impact and knows their characteristic would see how they acted so different compares to their original self, showing how sincere they were to take the (curse) "blessing" for Paimon. - And the last picture. Showing Paimon's most beautiful memory about her friends. It just hit right into my heart. - What's more? Diluc's smile is too wholesome already :)) Just this part is enough.

DILUC SMILING AND THE TWINS IS PRECIOUS

I just realized when Kaeya stole the curse all of the friends realized he was going to die in there and you can see from the shock on their faces that they realized the time has come for them to die as well :( they always knew that they just needed Kaeya to start it for them.

As someone who has never heard this song until now, I came in blind and left crying, how have I lived this long without ever listening to this song omg 😭

Albedo and Xingqiu’s poses looked so good, Albedo looked like he was boutta sing or recite how proud he was about something, Xingqiu looked badass

"only children survived in the barren wasteland" Me: *sky COTL intensive*

PK I HATE YOU I WILL PROCEED TO MELT INTO THE GROUND AND DISAPPEAR WOOO At least Kaeya was very sparkly the whole time, you did good there

if this was genshin impact's ending, and you got to play as paimon, well I'd just die. I'd perish. I'd need to visit Hu Tao for a coffin. Thanks a lot.

laughing at albedo pose, btw awesome masterpiece uwu

Are you a hydro user? Cause you just applied wet status in my eyes. Srsly not enough words can explain how _perfect_ this is-

the fact that they didn't betray paimon, they sacrificed themselves for her sake 😔👌✨ PURE MASTERPIECE

i dont know what this song is exactly about but i think i got the part that they all sacrificed themselfs for paimon to reach the end and that makes me cry-

Fucking love this song and the Genshin version is killing me 😭

Maybe Celestia is truly just like Tower of Ai

If people wondering who each charather take role from vocaloid Kaeya = Kaito | Role: Mayor of the village | clam the "Blossoming Wave" Diluc = Meiko | Role: Swordman | clam the “Fire Banquet” Jean = Ia | Role: The bread artisan Elder sister | clam the "Grace of the Sunlight" Barbara = Mayu | Role: The bread artisan younger sister | clam the "Peaceful Darkness" Albeido = Gakupo | Role: Priest | clam the "Trembling Ground" Xingqui = Gumi | Role: Poet | clam the "Rumble of Thunder" Chongyun = Luka | Role: Dancer | clam the "Rondo of Whirlwind" Lumine = Rin | Role: The shepherd elder sister | clam the "Garden of Silver Snow" Aether = Len | Role: The shepherd younger brother | clam the "Fetal Movement of Magma" Piamon = Miku | Role: Seamstress | End the "Blessing" in her time but it will come back Every 15 year afther.

AND WHEN I THOUGHT I FINALLY GOT OVER THIS SONG OH MY GOD

I felt each of the 'betrayals'. I got goosebumps when the truth was revealed. Now I feel like crying xD Also - I was like "of course Kaeya went first" lol. I'm happy that they didn't really betray her, and I like the line at the start before the "betrayal" (we share pain and joy). Felt very fitting for him, specifically, to say that too given his backstory.

im a huge vocaloid junkie and ive been in genshin hole since day one SO SEEING THIS ON MY RECCOMENDED IS A REAL TREAT oh man oh man whwere do i start> This is so good, i love the sketchy look and it all just blended so nicely and the little cutscenes with dvalin and the sword arch thing and then dain being the messenger oh boy and THE CASTING i flipping love the jean and barbra moment, called it and still i was so happy to see it and then the twins AND AETHER REACHING FOR THE DVALIN TEAR THIS IS GENIUES and then if you think more into it its celestia and celesita is in the air and the tower of ai is in the air and lksdjfdslfkjdsf BIG BRAIN YOU ARE also albedo's face before he gets shut in has me sending thank you so much for bringing this into the world i did not know i needed this but I DO AND AHHHH thank you :D

Once again I find a hidden gem! My heart hurts after watching this :,)

I just figuired out how similar Len & Rin are to Aether & Lumine-

this actually might be a good theory on how the elements were started paimon being the only survivor and what actually happened is that they sacrificed themselves for paimon ok but instead of the genshin character cast the ones who sacrificed themselves would be the archons cause listen to my point the water vision pointing to fontaine's archon who probably died by drowning and murata the archon of natlan just a theory don't worry i don't think this is the case though

damn this sing brings me back to the old vocaloid days

YOU JUST HAD TO TAKE THIS SONG. ITS ASTONISHING, THANK YOU. So much precious pain and I adore that you made Paimon the messiah ...

I didn't expect this to make me cry but my god, when I realized what the ending meant i teared up. Amazing art!!

I love how the curses the 9 sacrifices had matched up to the names of the "blessings" like a drought for sunlight or burning in lava for the magma one. Or tornados, lighting, darkness. Really cool stuff

The song fits this too much 😭 also I like how this looks simplistic but you can really tell what's happening

WHOAAAA THIS IS SO UNDERRATED OH MY GOD? this is a really good song choice for genshin, and the art and timing are just fantastic! not even mentioning how interesting this interpretation of paimon is?? i absolutely adore this, amazing job!

WHY DOES THIS ANIMATIC IN PERTICULAR MAKE ME CRY 😭😭 SAD PAIMON MOMENT anyways pog art, pog artist, pog song, everything is perfect

OH GOD I SAW THIS AND I IMMEDIATELY REALIZED WHAT I WAS GOING IN FOR

4:14 Chills. Absolute CHILLS.

This is so sad- I thought Paimon was left alone but then she realized that her friends are sacrificing themselves for her to get the final blessing ;-;

I'd like to leave my impressions as someone who didn't know this song, but knows Genshin very well (and some Vocaloid songs). At first, I was surprised that Paimon was playing the main role. I usually see one of the Travelers as the main character. It was too idyllic for a vocaloid song, I was expecting some problems on the way to the tower, but those only started in the tower. Kaeya's betrayal somehow didn't surprise me, instead I was stunned that Diluc did the same. I thought it was because of the rivalry between them. But when Jean was next, I already knew something was up. Jean would never do that! So the thought occurred to me that it was probably about some kind of sacrifice. Barbara's behavior somewhat confirmed this. Albedo, Xingqiu, and Chongyun didn't worry me too much because I was already almost certain that it wasn't as Paimon thinks. And finally, the twins... How fortunate was that the characters who were only part of the group in the main song were at the very end? Thanks to that the genshin version made an especially big impression on me. First Lumine who chose Garden of Silver Snow, which reminded me of the field of flowers that appears in the trailers. Then Aether at the very end as the "canonical" Traveler, also "betrayed" Paimon, leaving her alone. It's especially sad when you think that in the game Paimon asks Traveler never leave her. And then came the final scene, which confirmed my suspicions that everyone had sacrificed themselves for Paimon. Something to be expected from vocaloids, but in this version, when I was attached to the characters from the game, it really made me sad. Anyway, after watching this version I got familiar with the original and appreciated this video even more! Really good job, thank you for making this! I've watched it many times now and every time I feel a squeeze in my heart when characters sacrifice themselves! 😭

2:44 ascending Albedo

IM CRYING BOTH CUZ OF HOW BEAUTIFULLY THIS WAS MADE AND CUZ IM HURT

oh my god, youve just unlocked a memory from five years ago. i remembered when i listened to this song almost everyday and seeing it now with a game i love just,, makes it even more emotional. you even used the murasagi cover!! (which is my favorite cover of the song). the art is so good and the characters you’ve chosen are so fitting. i love this video so much

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED, MY GOSH, I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG. I will vow to at least get you another view and share it with my friend. The art was inspiring, I loved it!

i didn't understand the story so i looked up the lore behind the song let's just say my eyeballs started sweating when i rewatched it lamsaqos :'D

I'm gonna become a waterfall if albedo dies at the end of the game, actually, any character will be enough for me to become a waterfall but sadly knowing how miHoYo is, I'm bound to become a waterfall-

The "oof"s in my heart is sinking right now. That was so good!

You know the song at the end? I hear it as when Paimon passes away, she'll meet all her beloved friends up in the sky. And they'll finally be reunited... gAH NOW IM SAD AGAIN TT

AAA that moment when you already know the history of ths song its just hard And the fact that kaeya is the first one that sacrifice it just feel so canon Pd: The drawings are wonderful

It's amazing you include almost most of the mondstadt characters because of how they're the first ones to befriended the Travellers and the first country that the story focus plus it fits the song plus chongyun and xinqqui is so amazing also here

THIS IS BY FAR ONEOF THE BEST GENSHIN ANIMATICS AND IM SAD THAT IT'S UNDERRATED

me, being obsessed with both vocaloid and genshin; with full knowledge on how this song turns out; screamed internally when i saw this in recommended (i love this)

Это так грустно, я аж прослезилась. И так классно, что вы сделали главным героем Паймон, что все любят её и жертвуют собой ради неё. Это так мило.😭😭😭

i dont know if what i'm feeling right now is sadness but i am gonna start to cry because of 1. the artistic skills are mwa 2. because this was sad and 3. the song is just-

Oh my god, i cried so much with this perfection like, omg this is the best animatic i have seen so far, it gor me so badly. Amazing work gere, keep going, as Klee would say: Knight Walker is the best!

Blessed Messiah is one of my favourite songs, I especially liked the lyrics and the animation. (Especially OBNN's version) Genshin Impact is one of my favorite games. (No explanation needed) The fact that you combined the two created a masterpiece. It's so wholesome and beautiful! Thank you for making this! 😭

*Reads the title Me: Oh no...

After watching this I have a lot of questions in my mind most of them didn't have any answer but something is happening in my mind I feel pine and sadness..... good job this is very good

OMG I LVO THIS SONGF SO MUCH AND I'VE BEEN HAVIONG IMAGIANTIONS OF SOMEONE MAKING THIS AAAAA ITS SO GOOD IM GONN CRY WHAHWDYAWDUHUAW

Great stuff! I've always loved this song, and I love Genshin, so I loved what you did here! Making Paimon the "messiah" was a good creative choice as well. It fits surprisingly well!

Watched this a few times now and I gotta say, the way you did this song really is breathtaking! And it's very sad too, so, you know, how dare you. But yeah, just everyone's expressions in all the scenes-them all being so pure as the start of the journey pre-Tower, then the nine taking each of the blessings and looking like the villain, Paimon's betrayal, Paimon's realization... I just love it all very much, thanks for the animatic!

_Raises hand_ Permission to maybe write this into a fanfiction? Also, theory: Khaenari'ah was destroyed all those years ago because the people didn't know the meaning of the blessings. So now, when the cycle continued on in Mondstadt, Kaeya, Albedo, and maybe the twins rope five other people into this so that Mondstadt doesn't suffer the same fate as Khaenari'ah.

WHAT IF THEY ALL ACTED PROUD TO MAKE PAIMON LESS SCARED WHEN SHE FOUND OUT THEY HAD TO BE SACRIFICES

JAJAJA The "Freeze" of kaeya at 1:34 is ON THE POINT

This is so wonderful and sad that I have to cry. I had a feeling they wouldn't betray Paimon. Maybe I should pay the original song a listen or two ;; v ;;

I feel like this is the last archon quest lmao

Beautiful work as always!! ;w; Hit like a truck tho

okay so i just have to say, all the details you added in this are amazing, like how you can see the barbatos and rex lapis statues in the back once paimon reaches the altar honestly 10/10

my my i cried 😭

Paimon looks so cute but this animatic makes me feel so bad for that little serving of emergency food...

At first I don’t understand the video but when I played it the second time I cried

I realised how painful the last proud smile aether made

NO WAY OMG IM LIKE OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VOCALOID SONGS AAAA and omg I never realized how fitting it was to put Genshin characters in it,,, oh my god thank you so much for this video I absolutely love everything about it

The moment I saw Lumine crying, I knew it. It is a sacrifice ToT

I don’t even play genshin rn, nor have i ever heard this song, but i deadass cried 5 minutes after watching the end and understanding😅 this was great, very inspiring

My friend just sent this and i'm amazed at how wonderful this is! The youtube is full of ballads waiting to be discovered and yours is one of the best! I love it so much!

Bro I have no words. My love for vocaloid, and Genshin in one? This is terrific. I love this so much!!! It gave me the same vibes as the original, making me cry so hard. And the fact you changed the statues too, its just so good. The amount of effort you have put in this is just immeasurable! I really love this! Great work!

2 years later and I am still coming back to this one animatic.

okay this is the crossover i didnt know i need

UR TELLING ME THEY WERE ACTUALLY ALL SACRIFICES IN THE END NO I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE GN IM SOBBING

Alternatively; Blooming Wave - Childe Firey Banquet - Xiangling Graceful Sunlight & Peaceful Darkness - Ningguang & Keqing ( not sisters, but their design seems better suited imo ) Trembling Earth - Zhongli Rumble of Thunder - Fischl Whirlwind Rondo - Venti Lastly Garden of Silver Snow & Fetal Movement of Magma - Kaeya & Diluc

I looked at the title, and I instantly : AAAAAAAAAAAAA ANGST BUT IMMA WATCHING IT edited: GOD THIS IS TOO MUCH ANGST IM-- btw amazing artpiece!

This song is so incredible, I love the story and the fact that it suits so well with the characters you chose- That's just perfect, I have nothing else to say about this masterpiece

crying rn.

4:03... for future reference when i want to cry again....

Can't wait until we finish all chapter and there's a version with the archons as the friends. We already have twin gods, I'm sure there will be another sibling-like relationship pop up down the line xD

i have watched this so many times, this is amazing! also wow is this song fitting, very good choice there wow!

I'm going to cryyyyy, this is so well drawn and the character expressions are so perfect and each character fits their role so so well

HELP ME?? THis is like,,, my favourite Vocaloid song. Oh my god, You're amazing.

Oml.... i love this song, i love genshin. This is just wonderful oml. I love how you interpreted the song into genshin. ;u; also zhongli and venti as the archon was cool and u including the details in albedo's eyes was niceee

HDJSJSHJZJZJZ THIS IS AMAZING!!! Tjis is one of my favorite vocaloid songs and it fits so well with genshin! I loved the pieces of lore you stuck in there along with keeping the og storyline of the song! SLAMMING THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON

i actually was hoping that there would be an animaton/animatic of this song but genshin impact theme!

I SCREAMED when I saw this. Like that one cat that goes "NAWNAWNAWNAW" why we've suffered enough with current lore 〒_〒

Oh God I was thinking of this song with Genshin characters and this showed up.. thank you for the masterpiece!! 😢

this is legend i crying its so beautiful and I love it when u make paimon the messiah may god bless u and your loved ones

YES!! SOMEONE FINALLY MADE THIS!

All the little details really add to this animation and I love your style! I can tell you’ve put a lot of work into learning poses and anatomy- it shows. I’ve probably watched this at least six times since yesterday. Having never heard this song before, my heart is absolutely wrecked. You are an animator that I look up to a lot, and I would love to see more of your work!

Got so nostalgic and started to cry in lumine part

Dude that's sick! And Albedo looks so good 😭

This made me cry...This music hurts. Anyway, beautiful art and good job ^^

I was looking for it since the beginning of playing Genshin Edit: ok, I’m crying. It’s so beautiful ❤️

WHY IS THIS SO UNDERRATED 😭😭😭😭

Oh god imagine if paimon was the unknown god and went back in time to stop all this from happening by sealing away the twin but ended creating a endless time loop!

I have watched this a few times not understanding why everyone was crying, now I watched the video while understanding the subtitles I'm crying too lol
