2. 📜 The Connection Between Jibai's Tale of 'Old Teyvat' and Zhongli

3. ✨ The Meaning of 'Star' in the World of Teyvat: The Order of Heaven and the Philosophy of Love
- ✅ 'Star' was first mentioned in the Moonlight Bamboo Forest and also appears in the book series introducing Jibai.
- ✅ In Old Teyvat, 'Morning Star' and 'Moon Goddess' were classifications of divine beings.
- ✅ Jibai's story depicts 'Morning Star' and 'Moon' as divisions within the Celestia order, representing two different philosophies of divine love.

4. 🤔 'Heavenly Star' Zhongli: Differences Between Past and Present
- ✅ If Zhongli was a 'Morning Star', the Zhongli of the past would have been very different from the Zhongli we know now.
- ✅ The current Zhongli wants humans to rely on each other instead of relying on gods.
- ✅ 'Heavenly Star' Zhongli may have been an entity faithfully carrying out the divine plan of the Heavenly Principles.

5. 🎭 Zhongli's 'Three Deadly Selves' Technique: Hidden Information and Inner Conflict
- ✅ Zhongli teaches Jibai the technique of separating his impure thoughts into 'Three Deadly Selves'.
- ✅ This technique is based on the idea that the mind can be divided into multiple parts.
- ✅ Zhongli may use this technique to seal hidden information or to manage inner conflicts over his actions.

6. 🌟 The Meaning of 'Heavenly Star': The Role and Hierarchy of Old Teyvat
- ✅ 'Heavenly Star' was likely a role at the same level as the three sister moon goddesses.
- ✅ 'Heavenly Star' may have been the name of one of the Morning Stars, or an entity that ruled the Morning Stars.
- ✅ If Zhongli had the title of 'Heavenly Star', he would have been a god even before he was a ruler.
09:26 - 10:57
7. ☀️ Is Zhongli the Sun? Connection to the Sun Chariot
- ✅ The mural of the Dragon King Nibelung features not only three moons but also the sun.
- ✅ Considering that Zhongli is called 'Heavenly Star', it is possible that he is an entity related to the sun.
- ✅ Genshin mentions the sun chariot in ancient legends, which seems to be a name representing the sun of Teyvat.
- ✅ If Zhongli was an entity who controlled the sun chariot, he may have tried to leave Teyvat during a past war, failed, and been punished.
10:58 - 12:41
8. 👽 Is Zhongli an Outlander? Evidence and Speculation on the Theory
- ✅ 'Outlander' refers to an entity that did not originate from Teyvat, such as the Traveler and their sibling.
- ✅ If Zhongli has the title of 'Heavenly Star', it is possible that he also came from outer space.
- ✅ In the Sumeru Archon Quest, Zhongli's character story 5 shows a depiction that, unlike other characters, he seems to not have forgotten Rukkhadevata's existence.

9. 🧩 Discrepancy Between Zhongli's Constellation and Story Quest: The Role of the Old World Order
- ✅ The constellation of every character matches the title of their story quest, but Zhongli is an exception.
- ✅ Zhongli's story quest is 'Historia Antiqua', but his constellation is 'Lapis Dei'.
- ✅ This discrepancy may be a reference to Zhongli's role created in the old world order as 'Heavenly Star'.
- ✅ Zhongli's story will show the process of changing from an agent of Celestia to a god who loves humans, and then to an entity who supports human independence.
