Genshin Impact Lore Deep Dive: The Meaning of the Chosen World and the Abandoned World
This video provides an in-depth analysis of the concepts of 'chosen world' and 'abandoned world' in the Genshin Impact universe. It offers interpretations of the relationship between the Traveler and the Abyssal Traveler, and the impact of the Abyss's power on the Teyvat world, further enriching the Genshin Impact universe through its connection to the Honkai universe.
1. 🔄 Teyvat's Destiny Complementarity and the Traveler's Role
- ✅ If the Traveler hadn't been there, Varka would have been destined to become Mondstadt's hero, but Varka went on an expedition and prevented the disaster.
- ✅ Even without the Traveler, another hero (Jean, Diluc, etc.) would have appeared and defeated Dvalin.
- ✅ Teyvat's destiny has a complementarity, so even destinies that don't happen are realized in other ways.
| Person | Role |
|---|---|
| Varka | Originally the hero who would defeat Dvalin, but went on an expedition |
| Jean/Diluc | Alternative hero to defeat Dvalin if Varka is not there |

2. 🌌 The Importance of Dropped Worldlines and the Current World
- ✅ Alice advises not to lament destinies that didn't happen, emphasizing that dropped worldlines are not important.
- ✅ In the Honkai Impact 3rd universe, dropped worldlines are either consumed by the Sea of Quanta or become bubble universes.
- ✅ The worldline we are currently in is important, and past worlds are meaningless.

3. 🌑 The Power of the Abyss: The Grudge of Destinies That Didn't Happen
- ✅ The power of the Abyss is the grudge of all destinies that didn't happen, and it applies even to major events that threaten the world.
- ✅ The moment his friend Rhine Butir touched the Abyss, the pure future disappeared (Schrödinger's cat analogy).
- ✅ The power of the Abyss does not desire birth but only seeks destruction, trying to drag the Teyvat world down.
05:13 - 06:21
4. 🛡️ Boundaries and the Abyss's Obsession: A Threat to the Teyvat World
- ✅ The boundary is similar to the boundary of the Imaginary Tree that threatens the Teyvat world, meaning the place where quantum power can reach.
- ✅ The Abyss is always filled with hatred, thinking it has been deprived.
- ✅ The Abyss is filled with obsession and tries to descend upon the Teyvat world by any means necessary.

5. 🪞 The Relationship Between the Abyssal Traveler and the Heavenly Principles: Revenge of a Destroyed World
- ✅ The reason the Abyssal Traveler is trying to cover the Heavenly Principles is because of the grudge of the destroyed world.
- ✅ The Teyvat world built by the Heavenly Principles is a world that excludes abandoned worldviews.
- ✅ The Abyssal Traveler's attempt to cover the Heavenly Principles with the Abyss signifies revenge for the old century.

6. 🎭 The Meaning of the Traveler Siblings: The Chosen and Dropped Worldlines
- ✅ The Traveler siblings represent the worldline that can move forward (the chosen Traveler) and the dropped worldline (the unchosen Traveler = the Abyssal Traveler).
- ✅ The Traveler of the gender chosen by the player progresses through the Genshin Impact story, and the unchosen worldview is the worldview abandoned by the player.
- ✅ The abandoned worldline has the purpose of destroying the Teyvat world with anger.

7. 🌟 The Reason for the Traveler's Existence: Disturbance of Destiny and Change in Outcome
- ✅ The Traveler came to Teyvat, the only worldline that survived among countless possibilities.
- ✅ The Traveler is an existence (Descender) that is not affected by destiny and can reduce the disturbance of destiny.
- ✅ Destiny is constructed in some way, but the Traveler came to Teyvat because they can change the outcome.
