My questions are

1. if you reincarnated as lumine. then where is the original lumine.

2. are these genshin characters all in some sort of loop? (kinda like how you play a video game and then you restart/replay it. The characters are all just following the script and basically can't do anything outside the script and etc. you know kinda like an npc from a anime like SAO and stuff) this thing makes me worried since that means even you as lumine must follow the script and can't do anything else. besides i feel bad for the characters since they can't live normal lives if it's all a loop and follow the script. (once the story is finished then someone else will take lumine's role and the cycle starts all over again. i'm scared) they just can't live like it's the real world with no loop and stuff/can't do anything outside the script/have no awareness of anything beyond the script.

3. are they aware that your not the real lumine
 


So Honey Hunter recently got updated with some new books that we would find in Enkonomiya, and within these books contain some crumbs about the Primordial God that I thought would be cool to compile and share. The compilation for the God of Time can be found here.

For those who may not know why this is significant, the name of the game in chinese is [原神], which directly translates to 'Primordial God' in english, meaning that Genshin's overarching story will likely be deeply intertwined with the Primordial God's story.

tl:dr and analysis below

Disclaimer; do not read any further if you would like to uncover these new books on your own





From the book; Before Sun and Moon,

When the Doves Held Branches
When the eternal throne of the heavens came, the world was made anew. 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.
On Phanes, or The Primordial One
The Primordial One may have been Phanes. It had wings and a crown, and was birthed from an egg, androgynous in nature. But for the world to be created, the egg's shell had to be broken. However, Phanes, the Primordial One, used the eggshell to separate the "universe" and the "microcosm of the world."
Forty Years After the Held Branches
Forty winters entombed the flames, and forty summers churned the seas. The Seven Sovereigns were vanquished, and the seven nations submitted to the heavens. The Primordial One, the great sovereign, began the creation of heaven and earth for our sake — that of its creations which it cherished most, who would soon appear upon this earth.
Four Hundred Years After the Held Branches
The mountains and rivers were made, and the seas and oceans accepted those who rebelled and those who would not kneel. The Primordial One and 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 flowers, grass, and trees, 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.
The Year of the Ark's Opening
The Primordial One had a sacred plan for humans. As long as they were happy, it too rejoiced.
The Year After the Ark's Opening
The people worked the land, and so came the first harvest. The people mined, and so reaped the first crop of precious ore. The people gathered, and the first poems were written.
The Year of Jubilee
If there was hunger, the heavens would bring down food and rain. If there was poverty, the earth would bring forth its riches. If melancholy were to spread, the heavens would reply with their voices. The one taboo was to succumb to temptation. But the path to temptation had already been sealed.
The Funerary Year
The second throne of the heavens came, and war was rekindled, as it was in the world's creation. That day, the heavens collapsed and the earth was rent asunder. Our ancestors and their ancestral land fell into this place during that conflict. The era of darkness had begun.
The First Year of Darkness
The people of the Seven Sovereigns had found refuge in the oceans, and the Dragonheirs of the Depths ruled this particular place, which led to war between them and our ancestors. Our ancestors chased them into the shadows with the light of a thousand lanterns, and they hid in those shadows, hunting us. But there was only darkness in this place, and so their hunting grounds were untrammeled. The prayers of the people turned into lamentations, but the Primordial One and its three other shining shades did not hear.
The Second Year of Sun and Moon
Our ancestors sought the returning way, for surely the war on the surface had ended by then. But the Primordial One, the first throne, had laid down a ban, preventing our ancestors from finding the path home. In that case, the Primordial One must have defeated the Second Who Came. Abrax was imprisoned by order of the Sunchild.
The Parable of the Tree
The king's gardener and the tree spirit of the royal garden were in love. But the king wished to repair the beams of his pavilion, and so needed to cut down the tree with the most spiritual energy within it. The king was the incarnation of the Primordial One, and the gardener could not defy the sovereign of sovereigns, and so he could only bring his plea to the king's priest, who was the incarnation of Tokoyo Ookami.
The priest had pity on the gardener and said to him: "Go, and cut the branches of the spirit-tree down." The gardener did so, and afterward did as the king ordered, cutting the spirit-tree itself down.
Then the priest said: "Plant the spirit-tree's branches in the ground." But the gardener said: "A spirit-tree shall take five hundred years to grow." The priest said: "Your one thought shall echo through eternity." And so the gardener planted the branches in his back yard. In an instant, the slim branches grow into a new tree, and the new tree spirit was a continuation of the past one. For it is the God of Moments who is able to take "seeds" from this "moment" into the past and the future.

Summary;

The Primordial God's name is 'Phanes', and is also recognised as the 'Primordial One'.

The Primordial One and his 4 Shades are possibly the spheres depicted above the domain tablet

In Greek Mythology, 'Phanes' / 'Protogonus' was the primordial god of creation and was described as a beautiful, golden-winged, hermaphroditic deity wrapped in the coils of a serpent.

His name means "bring to light" or "make appear" from the Greek verbs phanaô and phainô.

Phanes was hatched from the world-egg, a primordial mix of elements split into its constituent parts by Chronos (Time) and Ananke (Inevitability).

'Chronos' and the serpentine goddess 'Ananke', his consort as well as sibling, enveloped the primordial world-egg in their coils and split it apart to form the ordered universe of earth, sea and sky. After this act of creation, the couple circled the cosmos driving the rotation of heaven and the eternal passage of time.
 
Imagine describing the great flood killing everyone as “the seas and oceans accepting those who rebelled and those who would not kneel” as if that’s a mercy. Ah yes, I’m sure the Native Americans were welcomed by the trail of tears with open arms.
 
Considering the lack of mention of “the first who came” I wonder if that is referring to The Other Sibling and the second referring to The Traveler. If so it makes me wonder if they knew that they were going to set things into place for their sibling before failing…
 
One interesting thing to point out about the new Archon Quest, it actually takes place before the Traveler even goes to Inazuma, previous even to the "We Will Be Reunited" Quest i think, as the only requirement to do it is having completed the previous Liyue Archon quest (Osial one).
 
Would it be reasonable to give Inazuma Traveler a “7-B, possibly Much Higher” rating for stomping the monster La Signoria and contending with Ei?
 
Raiden Shogun boss fight leak showcases her abusing Time Stop and Space hax to OHKO you no matter what
 
It was able to 1 shot a shielded zhongli with 29k hp.

other than that it seems to be able to hide and strike from her plane of Euthymia and simply project a hand that would slice you while hiding
 
When will you learn Traveler? You need a better weapon than a mere dull blade. I’m sure you wouldn’t have been overpowered by Osial’s waifu to such an extent if you weren’t using such a lame weapon.
 
I doubt Genshin story would be good as Honkai, or even good as the others top Mobile Game like GBF (Even the bland story are still enjoyable) or FGO (no need to explain)

Heck, even Uma Musume having a better story than Genshin 😂

I don't play Honkai, but most people I've talked to feel the same way you do.

I don't want to be pessimistict but unless there is an improvement on story telling, Genshin will be have the blandest story, the lore are great i'll be honest but compared to whats happening in the main story, its kinda sad

For now Genshin is the franchise that had an ultra amazing 18+++ MMD videos

It is sad, but true.

The amount of awesome in FGO’s main story is directly proportional to how stupid the events are. One day they’re battling gods with themes of perfection and the next they’re going “where did Hokusai’s swimsuit come from” before deciding to go gambling at a casino.

Also I still have no earthly idea how Ritsuka Fujimaru won against the S.I.N. Lostbelt. Both Akuta and Xiang Yu were wreaking 3 servants at once individually but when they were working together against a force of 6 servants they were decisively beaten without even killing a single one of them despite them logically being tired from been fighting for a while including a battle that left them impressed by their opponents, to say nothing of the Emperor and the Fantasy Tree.
