Why The Heavenly Principles Has Been Missing For 500 Years! Genshin Impact 4.7 Lore & Theory

So... Is Paimon going to remember and help us or try to kill us? 🙃

Paimon is thee most sus character in the whole game. No one questions her, not even us. It’s like Hoyo want you to almost blur her out like background noise. Just a fun character, then BAM! she’s the primordial one

What I got from all this is that Nahida is lucky the Doctor didn't call her bluff, because nothing would happen if she destroyed her gnosis

Dain makes his annual appearance. Fans(pre-quest completion): let's gooooo we will finally get more answers. Fans(post-quest completion): ❓📈

Dainsleif never disappoints with the lore bombs

Gold being a sinner and a mage only makes the hexenzirkel group more strong each patch

Since the traveller lost their memories of their conversation doesn't that mean the loom of fate is stronger than irmunsul

I think Paimon is definitely in a weakened form, whether she is a Seelie or a Heavenly Princple. Or both. But it does make me wonder why no other character really questions what Paimon is. The only time I remember a character asking about Paimon is Mona. In one of her voice lines, Mona asks the Traveler if they knew Paimon's origins. Mona- the one who can scry futures, who already knew the Traveler wasn't from Teyvat, and who has good enough intuition to figure out who Scaramouche was at a glance- couldn't figure out anything about Paimon. Let me know if there's other characters who also question Paimon. Mona's the only one I remember because of how odd it was. Otherwise, it boggles my mind how not even the Archons question Paimon's existence. And it's not like she's hiding her appearance or anything. Itto straight up calls her a "flying lavender melon" and other characters acknowledge her floating. Is she unknowingly tampering with everyone else's consciousness? Or put some new information into Irminsul so all of Teyvat doesn't see her as strange? It's one if those things that I really hope the game addresses. Cause otherwise, it's a part of the game 's plot that bugs me.

The harbingers seeking for the gnoses from nation to nation, the hydro archons divine throne was destroyed etc and the heavenly principals are still sleeping… I’m really wondering what will happen to awaken the heavenly principles. It must me a reaaaally huge and unbelievable event.

She’s definitely waiting for the right time to “awaken” it’s just a matter of WHEN! I’m genuinely so scared for the twins cuz this is going to spill absolute disaster!

Ok I have to point this out. The Heavenly Principles and The Sustainer Of Heavenly Principles are two different entities. I think it’s important to point out that when Lumine asks the god who she is, the god says SUSTAINER of heavenly principles, she doesn’t say she is the heavenly principles herself. The meaning of sustainer means someone who upholds or supports something. So by name, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles supports the actual HP but isn’t the actual HP herself. Also. Lumine says the HP has been(I think she said sleep or something since the cataclysm) but if that’s case how did she attack the twins? The Sustainer and The HP are different gods altogether. Nahida mentioned when The Heavenly Principles changed the fate of the twins. I think the Heavenly Principles ordered the Sustainer to go after the twins. I also think that the actual Heavenly Principles ordered the Sustainer to destroy Khaenri’ah instead of doing it himself/herself. The Heavenly Principles also waged war against the Seven Sovereigns and stole elemental authority to give to the Archons and that probably took away an indescribable amount of power for The Heavenly Principles to do something on that scale and then regarding the Archon War and the Cataclysm in Khaenri’ah, The HP probably still didn’t have the power to directly intervene which would also tie into why he/she sent the sustainer to Khaenri’ah in the first place. We barely scratched the surface on who The Heavenly Principles are let alone their powers but we have a small grasp of what The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles are capable of because those dark swarms of red cubes that she used against the twins were the same ones that were seen when Khaenri’ah met its unfortunate end which leads me to believe that it was in fact The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles who attacked Khaenri’ah because in the time between its destruction and the twins getting attacked by her, The Heavenly Principles would’ve still been sleep and at this point The Heavenly Principles has been asleep for way longer than 500 years because we don’t know how much time has passed since the destruction of Khaenri’ah

This is why i love genshin story even i've been stop playing since 2.7(device issue), the story,the lore is so complex in this game and really interesting to find since sometime the biggest lore come from something that really unpredictable

Jester might be one of the sinners

Here is my problem with the paimon = heavenly principles thing... If the heavenly principles = 1st descender, why did paimon lose her memories of rukkhadevata when she was wiped from irminsul? It is stated that descenders are not affected by irminsul changes, so this would kind of disprove that theory?

Celestian big 5: 😪😴 takes longest nap in history. catalysm big boom WHO DARES AWAKEN US!?

I’ve had this theory that celestia sent paimon down, without memories to guide and help the traveler, and be a companion to them, because the hp themselves are injured and knew they’d be put to sleep powerless to intervene in the worlds events. Because they know only the traveler can be the one to save the world in the end. Like I feel like Paimon was created to be the travelers guide, her mind was wiped about her past, but she was given knowledge about Teyvat to help her role as guide.

4:09 multiple archon died yet these 5 sinners didnt even participated in that war....so imagine they did then i believe they could have been able to defeat the heavenly principle

It's quite parallel to Honkai Impact when the "Herrscher of Finality" will soon awaken and start another cycle by destroying the world and resetting it. But it turns out HoFin (Kiana) did not destroy humanity and instead is helping humanity to "become one" with Honkai all due to Elysia's sacrifice.

The Paimon theory always make me think is gonna be wrong at the end, because Paimon basically is just a mascot of the game just like Ai-Chan in Honkai, Paimon is part of Genshin core system, even when Paimon end up have adult version like Ai-chan, still Paimon isn't gonna become evil character, villain or anything like that because she is Logo character, or at least will end up similar like Ai-chan Chrono Navi story

Paimon you better not eat the whole world up in a surprise endgame twist and betrayal.
