True identity of the unknown god (stop calling her paimon) 

I will be remaking my older theories in between new theories soon! As you can see my editing skill got much better compared to the PowerPoint slideshow videos before. Once I remastered the older theories I will move the previous uploads to members only section

Wei exposing the whole story of Genshin Impact but still saying "not to be taken seriously" so that no one know he's actually an undercover agent at mihoyo, real big brain time

I love how Genshin's lore sounds soooo much cooler when it is told by someone else

If you think about it, goblets also have the ability to hold all the elemental powers like pyro dmg bonus, hydro dmg bonus, etc. Goblets can be filled with anything just like how Aether can be the vessel of every element because his name represents the god of space/void

i love being a souls and a genshin fan. lore videos are ridiculous. you go from striking, narrative masterpieces of storytelling that could put audible to shame, to HYPER sensationalized, bright visuals that almost seem like a commercial. im crying, and i love this, and i love you, thank you

I'm not leaving this channel until my every curiosity about GENSHIN IMPACT ends.

I always had problem with paimon being unknown god. She destroyed civilizations cuz they were being arrogant and i don't think she would turn herself into that flying, squeaky child and people mocks her, she would instantly snap 💀

Still staying faithful to the "Paimon is one of the Moon Sisters" theory, especially after the latest revelation about people shrinking back to a childish form after using too much power. The Moon Sisters, from what i read, were more like powerful priestess, and they were here before Celestia, and it fits with Paimon design (the starry cloak related to the pattern from the magic of older forgotten nations like Khaenri'ah, the star in her hair, her crown which looks like many architectural points of the old civilisations, may it be at Enkanomiya, Dragonspine or The Chasm, and the symbol on her dress). If I'm not mistaking, the symbol on her dress is realted to what we call the Gordian Knot, which is believed to help enlighten people's mind (like a priestess would do), and it's supposed to be a symbol of three forces (negative, positive and neutral) and the Moon Sisters were.... 3. Now I'm still not sure if I want to believe she is a fusion of all three, or one of them (most probably the one that represent "neutral", so she could do anything in the future ?)... But it would explain why she knows many things, yet ignore so much too. She used too much of her power for something very important, and like the Aranaras and Kusanali shrinked and lost a huge part of her memory ? Also her And if she's not a Moon Sister, the only theory I belive for now too is about her being the Primordial Goddess, because... just her name. Paimon is a demon that knows everything and is described as "binding Others to One's Will" (to destiny's will ?), and she would have been weakened by Celestia when they arrived... Yet, as she shrinked and lost most of her memories, she would still have remembered that the thing that permitted Celestia to be established was a foreigner to Teyvat, something from another world, and that's why she would have seek the Traveler by instinct. There's also the thing that say that even if Paimon is an unique being, people aren't that questionning about it because a creation would recognize and accept their God as it is. Like she's a little talking fairy but... well yes, a little talking fairy, and that's all, no problem.

It hit me! The "Arrogation" that she mentioned. Her and Dain seem to use similar blue abilities for keeping people in place. Perhaps the thing humanity "stole" was power! She believes the power that her and the og gods hold solely belong to them, and because Khane'riah was going to use her own power against her, she felt betrayed, so in a fit of rage, she destroyed them. Khane'rians seem to have a spatial theme to them as well...

No wonder we keep getting def and shitty artifacts. It's because the gods hate us the traveller and wants to make our lives miserable

The Aether being related to the goblet makes sense because the traveller can control all the elements and the goblet is the only artifact that can be found to give a bonus to any element (e.g Anemo dmg bonus)

Just binged your vids, I seriously appreciate the Conan main theme when you do your deductions. Amazing work!

I know I’m late but I really need to say this that you are so freaking smart, and meticulous like I’m seriously mind blown and want to start doing my own research and looking into things as much as you do! Thanks for all of your hard work look forward to the rest!

Just because Paimon and Unknown God look smiliar, doesn’t mean they are the same person. They just probably are from the same place

Wei: *reveals the entire plotline of genshin with 10 billion IQ theory* Also wei: "Not to be taken seriously"

One thing which made me think is how most of the time mihoyo always uses aether as the traveler we play and lumine as lost sibling. I think both of them has an set role in the story. Aether is SUPPOSED to search for lumine. This always made me think

I didnt even finish the video and im already subbed, dude how can you process so much lore, you opened my third eye.

I never assumed Paimon was the unknown God, but I've always wondered if Paimon is some kind of other forgotten god. I mean, she has supernatural powers and she's unlike anyone else in Teyvat, and nobody seems to have any connection to her, so she has to be either connected to Celestia and/or godhood. Another theoretically possible option is that she's somehow connected to Khanriah (the resmeblence between hers and Dainsleif's starry cloak seemed a bit odd to me), but that feels less likely.

Thanks for giving people atleast some IQ for those who were calling her Paimon

This actual makes so much sense. Also, in Aethers idle animation, he summons these blue and purple symbols that look like constellations. And where do you find constellations? IN SPACE! I feel like this also kind of proves he is the god of space.

I honestly love how you did all research even in different languages to find the identify of the unknown God. Plus, I love the music (especially The Detective Conan theme)

Paimon is probably the Seelie ancestor, who fell in love with the traveler. It explains why she is both clueless, but knows a lot. Her memory was wiped. I believe the twins are related to Phanes somehow.

The goblet being related to Aether is a pretty good theory. Aether can hypothetically use all elements if he finds all Archon statues, and that’s kinda like how you could put anything in a goblet, as long as you have that thing.

Guys You're going too deep into this Paimon's just emergency food

Wait...Paimon has a crown which can be resembled by those crowns in the domain. And those gives the meaning of "Authority"if Paimon isn't the Primordial One...could it be that Paimon is...one of the 4 Shades?

i still think its weird how paimon knows everything about teyvat, but nobody in teyvat knows about her. also, the whole "drowning" thing is really confusing. isnt she able to float? i'm not saying she's the unknown god, i'm saying she's probably not who we think she is and may be more important to the story later on

i love your videos, they just makes me realize how much lore/secrets this damned game are always hiding

This is amazing!

Another fun fact is "lumine" is aether's sister, and Lumine can literally mean illuminate, so Lumine, is technically aethers light in the dark

I was researching in the same area in these days and found out something interesting. In Greek Mythology, Aether is the god of space/sky, son of Chaos and brother of goddess Hemera, the goddess of Light. Another thing I found out in Greek Mythology regards the seelie achievements in the Chasm: Phosphoros (meaning: Light bringer) was the Star of the Morning, a male divinity brother to Hesperos, the Star of the Evening, also a male divinity. Later the Ancient Greeks found out that Hesperos and Phosphoros were the same thing: the Light from the Sun that reflected from the planet Venus. *Maybe this is why the devs say that there's not fixed MC, that both Aether and Lumine are MC because they're like Phosphoros and Hesperos, two manifestations of the same thing. Phosphoros also gives the name to a very unique chemical element, Phosphorus. This element has the peculiar characteristic of having 4 colours (different allotropes): Black - Nigredo White - Albedo Gold - Citrinitas Red - Rubedo Edit: new stuff I just thought about sry

When I was a total newbie to genshin I thought that the unknown god looked pretty similar to kiana and I said "that looks so much like the mc from honkai" since I saw many adds from honkai before starting genshin. That you now make a theory about this is cool :) Still I sort of think that paimon is connected to the unknown god and the whole leyline system.

I love that you used BeFall at the end of the video, genuinely the best song Mihoyo has ever made

I thought unknown god looked like a Herrscher. I love it. Edit: looking at her closer she looks similar to my herrscher oc Enigma just a little. Also unrelated, I love the clicky clacky type sounding noise you used it's relaxing.

Doesn't anyone think it's weird that every person that meets paimon for the first time, never finds it unusual that she is floating in space and stuff? Like she is the most unique being you probably get to see in you're entire life and everyone is so casual about it?

I must admit, I'm a bit curious, wouldn't that make Unknown God the Second who came, because she replaced Aether (Who I'm assuming was the original god of Space)? Giving her ample reason to vanquish the pair.

Ive always wondered in my theory that paimon could of been an younger sibling or relative who've helped you escape after seeing your brother/sister get kidnapped , teleported to a random universe or planet. So they ventured on finding there relative after remembering and learning who there are slowly ,as time goes by tho the unknown God has manipulated and casted a spell on the other sibling , gave them greater power and armies (fatui) to kill the other and bring paimon back alive

I love the Conan sound track behind the video!

"Artifacts are actually blessings" Me finally getting my crit rate hat after 1week of farming , ends up with double hp double def sub-stats

Hear me out: As Wei said, if you search for the god of space Aether comes as a result and if you search the meaning of lumine which corresponds to the word luminous which means light or intensity of light. So, I believe Aether must be the god of space while lumine is the god of light. Space and light are the two things which surrounds the whole universe. If you consider Aether as your main mc, the reason why Aether can control all the seven elements so easily because he is the god of space and everything exists in space. Also, in “We will be united quest” considering Aether as mc you can see lumine outfit glows white in the outfit parts where respective elements Color is shown. For example- if you are controlling anemo element then the outfit glows with green Color and so on. If they are not the original god and space and time then might be their successor. Since, lumine did not lose her powers she is more powerful than anyone in Teyvat and that might be the reason Abyss follows her orders while Aether struggled a lot in defeating Abyss Herald in his first encounter due to the absence of his powers. He might gain his power back somehow by completing his journey and maybe that’s why Lumine told Aether to complete his journey. They are not normal humans for sure because they travel from world to world like a child’s play and their age is definitely not under 18 like they appears to be. This is my theory, I might be wrong but this is what I feel 😁. Thank you for reading till the end 🤗🤗🤗. Edit : We don’t know the unknown god story told by Aether is actually true because he might have made this story up to Paimon and he himself might be the unknown god and he is hiding under a cover who knows. It’s clear that Aether is hiding a lot of things and maybe that’s the reason he speaks so less.

The intro never gets old 😂

So that's why Raiden Shogun said something about Eternity being the only way to the Heavenly Principles.

its so interesting the fact that “空” has three meanings and it contains “Sky” or “Emptiness” and in Honkai Impact, the Herrscher of Void is pronounced as “Sora no Ritsusha” in japanese romanji. And keep in mind “Sora” is “空” in japanese. And “Ritsusha” as “Herrscher”

this guy is just insane and it keeps me being entertained I like how this guy uses Honkai for theories because a lot of Genshin players refuse to theorize this without honkai. Like somewhere in the story of Honkai, Otto's screen has Dvalin's figure there (forgot which chapter).

1:09 ............. How are they both so gooood my god gimmmmmmmmme

immaculate editing

am i the only one who just loves this dudes editing style?

The way you explained all this in 6 minutes and 58 seconds without writing a lot, and still being entertaining is beyond me

2:48 There's that vignette on the pass that talks about a crowned princess who became spiteful, which is very similar to this goddess.

Remember when they were trapped in the chasm and piamon didn’t open the door like the others?? A missed opportunity to learn a bit more about her . I became sus about her when she refused to open the door .

There is a character called Su in Honkai impact, in one of his dialogues with Mei in the Elysian realm he said He once felt the presence of someone else similar to him while he was doing something while using his powers to gaze into something (He has psychic powers), The person was the female version of him who has a great malice and he also described her power as something which ensnared the entire earth which was a greater spiritual power than him. It may be possible that the other version of him is the Dendro archon or from a different bubble universe. So it maybe be possible that the unknown god is the different version of the herscher of the void.

Ofc Paimon isn’t the unknown god! It’s definitely emergency food smh 🙄

Omg I've never been so excited for the next genshin update but now it all makes sense

i love his editing

Aether : In Greek mythology, Aether also known as Acmon, is one of the primordial deities, the first-born elementals. His name means "light" in ancient Greek. Aether is the personification and elemental god of "the bright, glowing upper air of heaven. Lumine : lumine is a verb that means “to illuminate,” which makes sense because it comes from the Latin lux for “light.” Which is also means that the twin is one of the Shining shades Phanes created which is The god of Light

very epik music that coresponds to this eerily accurate examples...

woah- that's really cool✨✨

Him: *making a theory about Unknown God* Also him: Aether means God of Space Me: IS AETHER THE UNKNOWN GOD?! Edit: mom lm famous rn

i love how you dig so deep into this is this is why I love genshin impact because of its lore and ties to Greek, Norse, etc mythology and its just amazing how you find these things out. I appreciate your hard work you put into these and you open my eyes and i see some much more than before when i started playing. Thank you and i hope to see more and more in the future.

This sh*t's blowing my mind. I wasn't even that deep into the lore but now I MUST uncover the truth!

This man is 10 parallel universes ahead of us

I don’t really know about Paimon being the unknown god. But what if she is one of the previous 5 gods? Like she has a crown, and details you can see in the title screen which seem important. Also she’s a complete enigma of a creature. A little girl that floats and can disappear… very strange and not really seen anywhere else. Even the intelligent Albedo seems to know nothing about her. So she is obviously a unique being. That doesn’t necessarily point her to being a god, but it is at least a likely possibility. I imagine something must’ve happened to her for her to turn into a squeaky voiced midget gluttonous emergency food, unless she really was like that supposing she was a god.

I really like how MHY supposedly strung all that overarching, convoluted succession of hints and Easter eggs, just to justify reusing models. Absolutely Kekhoyo move lmao

Wei did you notice the swirling symbol (looks like Avatar Air Nation symbol to me lmao) also looks like the swirling pattern in the Seelies' Capes/Tails? Since their lore is supposed to be helping humans back in the day, do you think they're like, servants or retainers of the Primordial One?

I love you thank you for clearing that and saying she aint paimon

Sounds even more believable if we take your previous theory about how the hypostatsis have energy sealed in them by an ability similar to her cubes, since they are the purest form of elemental energy and the goblet gives us elemental damage bonus

Theory: Herrcher of Void is a version of Unknown God who allowed Khaen'ria to continue doing research on the Void (Daisleif, Abbys Lector) and was subsequently taken by it. Unknown God in Genshin instead destroyed Khaen'ria, so they were never taken over.

You can notice the triskelion symbol on the materials enemies drop for exaple the masks from hilichurls i think but they’re definitely there

That explains why Aether and Lumine can travel through space/realms

Your story telling in these videos are amazing. Without even saying a word, writing paragraphs, or even using text to speech. Well done Sir. Well done.

Everybody sees Wei’s disclaimer that not all of his theories are true but I know it’s not just me that’s taking everything he said to be true because it makes so much sense all the time💀

these theories boggle my mind, also i love the ace attorney reference lol

Wow, that's amazing😲

I've always had this thought itching my brain ever since the Phanes and 4 shades being related to the artifacts theory: Could 3 of the 4 shades have betrayed the Primordial One? Since some of the other theories state that the Primordial One had been defeated by The Second One Who Came, I've found it quite weird that the Second One, who didn't have any companions or allies that were mentioned, was able to defeat the Primordial One along with his 4 shades. (ofc this point would be nonsense if the Second One didn't defeat Primordial One, it's just another theory). This is also based on the theory that the current Celestia is the Second One's Celestia and not the Primordial One's. Another point is that it was mentioned that only Istaroth helped humans, so where were the other 3 shades? Why didn't they help the humans? Why was Istaroth the only one to help? In another video from Wei, it was theorised that the other 2 artifacts (flower and feather) are related to the God of Life and the God of Death. If we look at the Khaenri'ah people's curse from the newest archon quest in chasm, we know that they have been cursed with "immortality". And if we look at the archons, they're affected by "erosion" that was put on them by the heavenly principles (Celestia/Unknown God's affiliation). I am not sure if this immortality curse and the erosion are the same, since both are tied to the passage of time (which would fall under Istaroth's power), but both also fall under the manipulation of life and death (the erosion one maybe not so, but it's also only affecting those who are already immortal, like Archons/Gods). So the Khaenri'ah people being cursed by Celestia to live an immortal life seems like something that would be the powers of Life and Death. And since this video heavily ties the God of Space to Unknown God, who is considered to belong to Celestia, we could consider that 3 of the 4 shades no longer belong to the Primordial One. again, this was just a random thought. There are still many questions like: Why would they betray Primordial One in the first place? There is nothing we could think of that Second One could offer to the Shades for them to switch sides (for now.) Why would Istaroth be the only outlier? Why would she not go along with the other 3 shades? Why would they not help humanity anymore? This might as well end up as some nonsense, but it would definitely be a plot twist in the Primordial One vs Second One story. Anyways, lots of questions. I'm really looking forward to the conclusion of these stories. And as always great video! :D

I love the editing and presentation of this video. The constant change in music with pop-ups of information coming from everywhere is so hilarious and entertaining, all while being presented so much Genshin LORE. Truly remarkable.

My man spent to much time thinking about unkown god that detective Conan theme started to help him

the goblet is also one of the only artifacts that can give you anemo/pyro/hydro/dendro/electro/geo and all the elements damage bonuses just like how the traveler can obtain each and every element 😨😨

finally, a new upload I've been waiting for this.

What if it could be taken more literally and Aether himself is the god of space? He also has the star shapes on his clothes and his "vision" in character menu. What if he and Lumine are one of the 4 gods and Lumine's artifact is the flower?

Wow i like your vids so much, thanks

Dang bro got me thinking in a whole new way

Wei is that sort of person you could sit down with to a drawing board and create theories while also meme-ing

Primordial One has wings and a crown. Paimon has a crown as well, and a wing-like galaxy cape. Can Paimon be one of the shades or maybe the Primordial One itself? It's a stretch but Primordial One has all the letters for Paimon. Also, if you would remember Paimon's previous art, she had a staff with wings.

I kinda feel like Aether is the canon twin, because Lumine is simply a verb in Greek meaning 'to illuminate' whereas Aether is the Greek God of the Heavens, and all the other symbolism you just pointed out. It's also kinda weird how the Traveller was asleep for like, 500 years, and just suddenly woke up when Dvalin started wreaking havoc on Monstadt. The Traveler also purified the crystal, and can control all the elements as long as they can find the Statue of The Seven. And finally, PAIMON, not the unknown god, but she is something. On the beach where Traveller woke up, you can see an island, which has the quest of the Time God. Our emergency food knew to change the time to 2 or 3 and also, she changed the time. I literally pause the game by opening her menu 😭 I just know she's rlly important later on

Fun fact, kiana is the unknown god after she breaks free from the cacoon, so you’re welcome that’s the story in how we got here. Paimon is a primordial but lost power do to either saving kiana from the cacoon, or destroying the cacoon to stop kiana from building up her strength as she may become too powerful. In the end paimon “loses” memory as she is tinier because of the usage of her power. And so on and so on, we go and grow along paimon, but she does too and will have us as an ally

That Aether thing gave me goosebumps... Been following his theories since, actually I think is very plausible

I refused really hard that the Unknown God was Paimon now u proved that Paimon isnt the Unknown God (if she does turn out to be the Unknown God by the end of the story I will become a depressed emo chicken) Edit: omg i suck at spelling wtf 😭 Edit 2: Here's something I wanna ask: Why isn't Paimon just.. Y'know, Paimon? Why do we have to theorize her maybe being some sort of God or Seelie? I'm not saying the theory of Paimon being the God of Time or being The Sustainer is wrong, but more of asking where did that theory come from? I will be clear: I do not hate or disapprove of these theories, I just want to ask why exactly.

Watched this video months ago and it's still making sense to the current update..

I love how you used herrscher of the void theme song over and over and no one even noticed

have you ever considered talking about K.K? the misterious one who "talks" about the travelers in their cards? it looks like hes one of the flame chasers of honkai and is deeply involved in the project ARK (teyvat=ark)

I never noticed those crowns before, but they sure do look like Paimon's halo, since u pointed it out. My logic is that Paimon might be connected to Khanariah, which would explain her unique appearance and memory loss. And judging from fit I would even dare to assume she might be a royal or something among those lines. But it also could be possible that she might as very well be one of the ancient gods as well (as so far, we saw a bird as god, so why not add Paimon in it as well). Regardless, I am pretty sure she will play a big role one way or another in final arcs even if she does only become our last emergency food for us to survive and destroy our twin. However, I am more interested in twins than any of these tbh. Who are they? Whey do they come from? What are they abilities? What were they doing before Tayvat? What are their reasons for staying there? Well, in 5 years we will find out u.u

Not again, my emergency food isn’t the enemy

i still cant get over the name "the first who CAME" dear god everyone get your bats i need to be stopped

Those who chose aether:I can't believe we already have a god at the start

finally not wei saying “random shit at 3am”

Ngl i was thinking of unknown God being Herrscher of the end from gun girlz hehe. ( also finally someone who talk about Herrschers in Genshin thank you 🙏🏻 )

Très bonne vidéo, respect

Okay... here's a crazy theory I just now realized after watching this video. So, remember in the Chapter II of Raiden Shogun's story quest and (I think) a small part of the Sacred Sakura storyline, they were talking about an "overwhelming force of darkness" or "creatures that were never seen before"? My theory is that when Khaen'riah happened (the whole dismantling of the nation thing), honkai beasts (yes, I mean the regular mobs from HI3rd) were unleashed upon the world as a Herrscher (could be a parralel universe Sirin) was wreaking havoc. This in theory could also signify that the Celestia we see in the very beginning of the game to be part of the Imaginary Space where Herrschers (Gods here) can freeroam through it. Whereas the Celestia we see in-game is more of a front as to hide the real one.

5:04 meanwhile a lumine player: oh :(

would also makes sense for unknown god to be god of space, since she got on the travellers’ cases due to their dimension crossing shenanigans, which would presumably fall under the domain of ‘space’

as soon as i saw unknown god for the first time i instantly thought of Kiana, it looks exactly the same
