Story Teaser: Through the Eyes of a Dragon | Genshin Impact 

Actually if im the rex lapis. I would be proud someone still remember me

I think Zhongli likes the guy cause his always there listening to him.

yeah zhongli would be very proud, but the guy would probably freak out and if i was him, i would too

@@Cyrus-ro8kg I doubt that Rex Lapis would ever be forgotten since he's the only Archon that ever ruled Liyue.

@@nobblkpraetorian5623 in the future it may be. Because the Qixing will be ruling Liyue. Nor adepti or Archon himself will directly involved with governing. Not to mention, yakhsa has bigger ceremony already than archon as we sees

it's the memory

If you check you inventory. You do have the corrupt stone that once stabbed Dvalin neck. In contrast, your redoing memory fight. Not an actual one. And Boreas is a spirit, he doesn't die. It just a training

@@Cyrus-ro8kg also from the way azdaha talked i guess he is way beyond redemption Edit:also he is in the end still a stone i dont think it can never die thus zhongli only could trap him

@@theboythatslostinthewoods9003 whoa i never got in touch with spoiler so this is a new intel for me. Great explanation btw

Nooo...why did you say that? D: Now I won't get that out of my head. Poor dragon friends...

Umm no... i mean why the hell he is hearing a story all the time JUST to hear his old freind?

the reason zhongli hang out with the traveller is because zhongli wants the traveller to see the real history and remember them. after thousands of years, the story told by the people has change and is no longer the same as what has happened. if you listen carefully, what the storyteller say and what zhongli say are actually different... that is the erosion of time he is talking about... he is not much there to hear about his friend, he is there because he know he is the only one that actually still remember them as they were... thus he exist to carry their memories...

@@heissomeone2032 because they're all dead...?

@@lagrangewei yeah misinformation is dangerous

No, Zhongli always looks for people in Liyue to hear stories about him but in his human form but sometimes he has to correct them

Jean and the standard gang: *Hello there*

In your 180th drawing card: Zhongli:The contract has been made,I will satisfy your wish 😭

LMAO Gl tho!

lord of geo took pity on the rock's spirit but not yours, how sad

LoL this comment is so underrated

Fine wine with a grandpa aftertaste

And lacking quite a lot of Mora?

And eroded over a very long period of time.

Just like in his story, He aged like a "rock that erode overtime due to wind and rain" It's a reminder to us in real life, that whatever you have in this world, if it's someone, family, or wealth, all of it will be gone one by one....

Hes aged like a fine osmanthus wine indeed

Hahahah yup

He should check out genshin ch tbh

HAHAHAH IKR

lol

*sluuuuuuuuurp*

well at least it doesnt bite

Meanwhile Raiden: Mine judges you🌚

Thank you so much

Thanks, this was very informative! And yea I really like the first part, determination and strong-willed which symbolizes geo. Still, thanks for the detailed explanation!

老哥厉害了

干的漂亮，很好的科普

Whoah

Venti also has boreas, he sure love pets lol

Zhongli also has Childe

@Mike Quach but , boreas doesn't want to be petted by venti

@@qwonksvdqwonks8840 so hes a tsundere type eh

I wonder if they'll continue the trend of there being a dragon heavily involved with each Archon.

I mean he did jump very high

He doesn't have any wings, but he is able to jump

Land Shark XD

😂

Wrong story or something had happened.

yabai

Nope. Isn't it you the player who is mining the rocks?

What's to say the rocks don't want to be mined? Why wouldn't they want to stop idly sitting in the ground and be forged into tools and weapons, similar to how the elemental crystal cried out to be mined and carved to a dragon?

@@Nethan2000they want to be taken to see the world. Like how we take ruu’s feather. I never thought about that. Even weapons hold memories.

Yes please. We need a quest related to Guizhong in general.

@@EnderHeart5911 Yes indeed so Zhongli won’t feel alone

Zhongli talking about Zhongli

Guizhong practically single handily shaped who he is now. And they were very close. So close he didn't even understand at the time until now...

This is why liyue is supreme

YESSSSS I GOT TEARS IN MY EYES

That god like feeling gives shrills around my body

I can tell you that zhongli this character is a symbol,a dream of the best emperor in Chinese culture through 6000 thousands years.Yes,6000,as long as liyue history. zhongli was contracted by every advantage from every good rulers in history,and did the better job than any other.

@@anujmgrroshan with way less trauma*

That’s sounds like a death flag for ZhongLi. Once he finally understand guizhong’s will, he may die. (I got this feeling)

I feel the same..

Yep, very well played homage to the lore.

Genshin have a lot of plot base on real world mythology but got their own reworked. Like Xiao killing demonic in some big day is basically the "Nian beast" story.

画龙点睛，you can search for its English meaning.

Zhongli created it. Here is an old Chinese story：a painter is highly skilled. One day, he painted two dragons without eyes. People asked with a smile why they didn't give them eyes. He said that the dragon would fly away. People didn't believe it. After he added eyes to one of them, the Dragon came alive and flew away. The other dragon had no eyes and remained on the wall

@@haowu2002 not really, remember after defeat the evil will, the good one said something like "I was a blinded dragon, but morax give me light"

voice actor is jiraiya

Seriously, I got chills at the climax of his storytelling. That's a very powerful voice and the perfect way to properly convey this tale of an almighty earth dragon's birth.

He also did one for Noelle’s hanging out event II. And that one was quite funny.

I really like him. He's actually in Noelle's hangout event II.

@@wreckitnick5464 the npc?

Its the same Zhongli VA lol

@@m3nhhu38 its not. they're talking about the guy that's speaking at the beginning.

@@deadeyed1362 yes its Keith Silverstein

Don't know if you've found out yet, but the VA's name is David Lodge. I mostly know him as Jeralt from FE 3 Houses, but he's done solid work in many other works.

@Nicholas Jevon lmao

@Nicholas Jevon same, but I was 7

Rex Lapis wanted a pet rock

AH MENS OF CULTURE

apparently some people think genshin is for incels and lolicons and some gambling weeb game so they hate on it without any reason well I bet half of the players don't even care about the lore

@@kai4344 wdym half perhaps 10 percent care about reading the story rest of them are incels who just want to boast about their waifus and big numbers,

@@aadith3999 well I can still have a bit of respect for the damage loving people but the people who are always simping for pixels hell nah

@@kai4344 ppl who just like to do big damage in a game isn't the problem but these guys go on social networks and bully people who say some meta characters aren't fun to play or their dmg being less is ok for them and just want to enjoy the game

@@kai4344 almost all of my friends didn't play this game because it's too huge, their phone and PC can't handle it, and they don't have enough money to buy a new device for this game. I had a 4 GB RAM phone, and I can't played it. So I begged to my mom, and she told me if I get good grades, she will buy me a new one with better spec. I did what she wants, and she kept her promise. Man Genshin is amazing, the story writing is really good, I always paid attention to the story, even though some of those are boring as hell. This game has some its downside (like Paimon), but I won't deny the good side of this game.

Do you know it's name by any chance?

@@utopia9473 Well It wouldn’t sound the exact same but it’s called Rex Incognito

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KoZ5v960Pig.html&ab_channel=tnbee-Topic de nada

The soundtrack is called through the eyes of a Dragon too! Search it on Spotify it shld be there

Oh deem, this is cool

Damn this really cool also your English is great :D

that's really cool. I'd read this all of the time

dude my chinese book has that story. very cool, though i never thought about it.

Also, dragon and lion dances can be seen in traditional Chinese festivals. Before the performance, people usually use Chinese brush to draw two eyes on the dragon head and lion's head. The origin is this story, which is the one symbol of the inheritance of Chinese civilization from generation to generation.

Yeah they have made some for their other game honkai maybe something similar to that?

hopefully there are some animations in development for genshin that are not just shorts like this

This style is perfect for lore videos. Like it a lot

They prolly gon make an anime when the game finishes

Petition for zhongli dragon form

inazuma has ded snek

Friendship with my previous bestie ended. Now this dragon is my new best friend. 🙃

Atleast Zhongli has Childe now, venti has dandelion wine oop-

Venti's friend is the Nameless Bard. How about Zhongli's? Can't remember exactly

@@graciasvito8067 Zhongli's partner was Guizhong (Guizong? Forgot the spelling), I think she was the Goddess of Dust (or Lord or Archon, idk)

i get where you're coming from. in my opinion baal is more godlike from a power standpoint. Tbh whenever i think of a "god" i think of someone far beyond and removed from humans which isn't necessarily a good thing, and who are pretty powerful without any help whatsoever, and that's who "baal" is. she didn't even need her gnosis lmao she took signora out as easy as sleeping while venti (we both agree he's jus a bard lmao) struggled against some ice around his feet. Baal has some serious poise as well despite her beliefs, she carries herself very well (her trailer was so good). Anyway i also like to think, after reading ur comment, that Baal embodies the types of gods you fear while zhongli embodies the types of gods that nourish and live among their ppl. And venti is kinda usele-

I’d say Zhongli is more godlike in terms of maturity and just how wise he is. For Ei, she seeks eternity, and only eternity. Part of its a coping mechanism after losing Baal, the other part is that’s just what she’s known and sought out for the longest time. Ei is very immature in comparison to Zhongli, despite her regal status. She’s literally like a teenager. She’s easy to manipulate and deceive as shown through the Fatui, she loves sweet foods like desserts, she hides in the plane of euthymia

i think its because they based zhongli on the idea of a great/ideal emperor of china

They based Zhongli on the ideal, perfect emperor/ruler in Ancient China, well at least Morax is. After getting their Gnosis taken away, they all seem like normal folks which I think is what Mihoyo is going for

@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. Bro it's not that easy. We have never even seen Zhongli go all out without his gnosis and he's not just a fighter like Ei, he's a strategist, a shielder and a leader. (Let's get real, Genshin is made by Chinese people, consumed mostly by Chinese people that include China's history, do you think they will let their god that represent their entire culture and country be weaker than anyone else?) Do you think a god like Venti that can literally create winds that lift you up to Dvalin will fight Signora, removing his cover and destroying Mondstadt? Besides, in the comics it said that Venti slept for thousands of years and that's why his power declined that much. So in conclusion, we don't know so please don't claim what you speak as facts while we haven't even seen them fight seriously once

His voice reminds me of English dub Jaraiya. But I love how passionate and earnest the storyteller is. It's just so good!

I wanted to say that too! To be honest, I think the English version of this storyteller trailer is way more passionate and has much better emotion buildup to climax than the Chinese version, which is original.

@@jani4460 it's the same person

Agreed. The whole genshin dubs are all pretty good too 🤔

@@jani4460 I thought so too

Yes

I know right! The first time I heard it ingame I had chills listening to it.

Any rendition of Rex Incognito is amazing

I got a goosebump ... it feels so .... majestic...

exactly! i missed some of the story because i was listening to it during the quest so i'm pretty thankful to this video

And the backsound also make this a way more Epicc 🔥☄️

Yep, Jiraya's voice actor did an awsome job. Wonder which character he will voice...

I would say Rex Lapis, sitting in front of him : Mmh, interesting

The listener

Morax: Wow, that Rex Lapis guy is quite something, huh? Please continue.

@@d0r4gon70 not gonna lie, I did read that in Zhongli's voice. Best voice I ever let speak my thoughts👌🏼

@@reniseung4101 There must be something about the fall of Guizhong. I think it will be the greatest tearjerker.

I don't mind if there's only Zhongli quests until the end of time

As someone who didn't even finish the first one even though I'm at ar 55, yes I want 3 of them. Its better if there's more than 3

it's the best part too!!

well he is god of freedom for a reason lol

@Аякс Нгуен Ян The architecture, people, and culture in Mondstadt is German, but the mythology is Greco-Roman.

Well, if Mondstadt was based off Germany, it could mean that the country has a rather dark past within. Especially with how the Abyss Order chose Venti’s statue out of all the statues in Teyvat to be the Defiled statue.

DaNdElIoN wInE pLeAsE~

@@cakefrosting6451 Nah, they chose Venti's statues because it's the easiest one to steal anyway. After all Liyue had Xiao and the other Adeptis looking after it, Inazuma is closed and ruled with an iron hand, Natlan is probably a nation of battle maniacs, Snezhnaya had fatuis, etc.

Facts

fr! the lore of genshin is so deep

If Ludi Harpatisum comes next in 1.6 it would make sense. We would get to see Venti's answer.

the overarching story is great. But the dialogues, as always... not. Yanfei's story writing is especially cringe. They have zero clue on how to write a *brilliant female lawyer* character with compelling conclusion to the story. The way they write her dialogue to show how smart she is are full of holes, defeating that exact purpose. Also it's obvious they try to make everything ends nice and well, but the delivery is awful. She's supposed to be a sharp lawyer too, but the side characters are acting like a bunch of caricatures, showing non-human like traits, like how the scammer acted all mighty and strong, but suddenly crumbles down and accepting defeat like a total noob scammer, unlike how his profession suggest. And how the scammed went from close to losing everything into suddenly nice and bright, acting like a goddess forgiving everything with zero consequence even after going on such length to self preservation. And how everyone just accept that the scammer learnt his lesson and suddenly will be a good guy together with the scammed.... and yanfei is supposed to be the sharp one in that situation, but she just went ciao... ugh nice overarching story, but dumb, terrible dialogues. I'm in a position where I just skip story dialogues and take my canon info from the character stories and archive instead.

@@kueapel911 She's supposed to be kind. She's half adepti after all, they don't follow the same logic humans do.

Narrator:And how is it that you "remember" Azhdaha?

@@dustingideon5719 nah they wont question him because hes literally a walking encyclopedia according to Hu Tao. he knows everything of anything.

@@finnheisenheim8274 To me Venti is the representation of the literal God that brings hope and freedom to his followers something similar to what Moses and any other Abrahamic prophets do with the guidance of God, besides him being an alcoholic because of the death of his best friend during the revolution which is very sad and touching too.
