We Were WRONG About The Traveler's Power! - Celestia's Origins (Part I) || Genshin [4.3]

were played like a chip kazoo this entire time this thing right here that's not the Light Element actually that's not an elemental power at all in fact this is what separates a traveler from their twin this is what makes them a descender and it is this power that will allow them to rewe fate itself it's reason now I know what you're thinking you are probably feeling skeptical after all the Light Element theory is one of the oldest and soundest theories in a lar Community it just makes sense the

elemental specialist one name card has been in game since 1.0 and it seems to be lacking five whole elements with light being most likely one of them on top of that we have light sigils in economia and the traveler claims that they are recovering their power by acquiring the 7 vitin elements which seems to imply that they had Mastery over them sometime in the the past and don't forget that cona used azoy pure Elemental energy likely a combination of The Seven Elements we know to power their Mach

inery its color is not only similar to the Traveler's power but the machines it feits are able to utilize attacks that are very similar to theirs as well so to say that the traveler wields A Light Element seems like a well educated guess but also an impossible one if the light element is a combination of all other seven then the Travelers should not be able to utilize it again until they reach Nea and receive power over cryo but they do they have done so over and over again the fight against oos

when they made the Jade chamber plummet from the sky check oh but that was just the's power you might argue fine how do you explain them being able to use it against a in the plane of euthamia then just the Visions doing their thing okay what about the fight against Shin Okami and no Nita did not yet used the wisdom of the people to help the traveler at that point despite them already being stuck in a dreamsome Sara and yet here they are Conjuring up that same golden energy and actually managin

g to make a dent in an artificial God because of it whether they are channeling it into the palm of their hand their entire body or just their sword the similarities are undeniable I didn't know what to make of this apparent inconsistency for the longest time how do you reconciliate them having access to this power so early in the story with the concept of the Light Element well you don't and you don't need to because there is actually another Cuts scene where they will this exact same power dur

ing their fight with narciss Andrus the holy blade shown with a golden energy of reason to dispel hen's delusions but it's not the sword itself that is powerful naris and cross said himself that the holy blade could be literally anything capable of holding reason including a gold old haired traveler after that battle having completed its purpose the sword lost its reason simply becoming the sword of naren crus however its description reads a sword was power faded when the story ended it will now

Embark Upon A New Journey with the power that remains within it which commemorates a certain great dream to say that its power has faded but remains within it is a huge contradiction but the thing is this blade has never been anything more than a simple vessel and I believe that it continues to be so the power that it still retains is The Travelers flowing through their weapon which is probably why the sword of Narcan cross actually responds to the Arc of its wheer it's like an extension of the

ir body if you will a vessel of one's power the only reason the holy blade was ever a sword is because it was thematically appropriate all liil dragons must be slain by a brave knight and all Brave Knights must wield a magnificent sword just like the description of the sword of the sension states but really when one is faced with such a final fate when up against a star devouring Darkness what weapon would be fitting for one to wield it can only be a sword if nothing else it shall bear the memor

y of those who face their ends without fear now the interesting thing about the sword of descension is that just like the name implies it does not belong to theat and it can only be wielded by a descender a after all only one who has challenged the world may wield such a sword which is referring to a descender will and its ability to rival an entire world this will is reason Narcan cross calls The Traveler the witness of all the recorder of all the designer of all this Echo jungle's words perfec

tly as he claims that the traveler is a witness because they can experience the history of tat without having their perspective distorted and muddled by any changes made by herol meanwhile then being called a designer of all means they have the power to create at the Godlike level I'd say and the descender will can create an entire world so yeah from this follows that the descender will their true power is reason it's not only that they can hold reason and be a vessel for it this is a power that

is intrinsic to them which is why we have seen them wield it over and over again despite them not having all seven elements still I don't think any of you will disagree that the traveler can wield reason or will be too opposed to the idea that will and reason might be one and the same what I'm trying to prove here though is that this golden Power has been reason all along because the Light Element and reason don't negate each other then being able to use it does not mean that they have been usi

ng it this entire time so to prove this let me ask you a question why did The Traveler only utilize the special golden attack of theirs when once the battle was pretty much decided and their twin had already been imprisoned and why didn't the twin use it the jewels in the outfits of the two were all shining with the original white colar at that point so if this golden energy was their original Power both of them should be able to use it even if this was the ace they kept up their sleeve this bat

tle really was not the time or place for them to be keeping their cards close to their chest they were trying to leave it's not like they would would see the sustainer again anyway but most importantly even though neither twin recognized the god upon hearing her title The Abyss twin should have known to go all out to escape I can even make excuses for the traveler they had probably just woken up in fact the beta version of the opening cut scene has a traveler waking up to the sight of their twin

already being impaled by the sustainer the genin Beta had no chill I tell you they were likely conf confused so I wouldn't fault them for being a little slow on the uptake at that moment but it was the abyss twin that never used the power to begin with and it makes no sense except that the twin isn't a descender if that attack was risen and if raisen is a des sender's will the twin wouldn't be able to utilize it it wouldn't be possible at all furthermore The Traveler who very much is a descende

r was not familiar with the concept until introduced it to them which means that this descender status is likely limited to the vet just another Quirk of this world unique rules CER once said that belief is a powerful will and Magic shapes reality to one's will they made it confusing on purpose but worry not let us use an analogy and in honor of the recent event let us use the musket analogy let's say that you are a musket you have the potential to cause some serious damage and you can even imag

ine that damage but on your own you are pretty much harmless in order to actually do anything you need ammunition your ammo is your power so this could be elemental power stemming from a vision for example but even your ammo can't do anything on its own because like Ken said it lacks any will whatsoever that will is your trigger so as a musket you possess magic your ammo and you also possess the desires and Ambitions your will you can use those desires to trigger your magic to shape reality shot

s fired we have seen Vision wielders bending the rules quite often creating new things where previously that was nothing deconstructing their entire body and turning it into their element only to regain their form without any struggle or even teleporting this is probably precisely why there are so few Vision wielders despite slash benefiting from having them because Elemental energy lacks a will and it's pretty stable on its own so they need individuals with strong Ambitions strong Wills to be a

ble to weaponize this energy I mean think of slimes they are made of Elemental energy but they can't do much other than exist they are an inactive form of Elemental energy because they lack a will a will is a desire an intention an ambition The Traveler didn't use that power before because they were like not aware that they possessed it since they had spent all of their time in devite up until that point being asleep presumably however seeing their sibling get trapped they experienced the intens

e desire to free them and so their will manifested as a powerful attack meant to do just that Kaza probably paralleled his exact moment when he blocked a shogun's attack it was a sudden desire to stop her and prevent another friend of his from dying the same tragic death that made made Electro Vision spark to life and once that desire was fulfilled the masterless vision returned to its dormant state by that same logic The Traveler isn't capable of utilizing reason at all times because they don't

always have the needed desire the needed ambition to use it which might be why y Miku claims that the reason they don't have a vision isn't because they can't have one but because they don't yet have the necessary ambition and now is a good time to ask why why is the traveler the cender and not the twin then in order to answer all of that let's talk about the reason and its counterpart delusion have you ever noticed that everyone seems to perceive tat in vastly different ways and why is truly B

onkers is that tavite appears to bend itself over backwards to ensure it affects them exactly how they expect to be affected the senders are not for instance the Tower of gal was absolutely massive and it only sank beneath the waves either during the whole prophecy ordeal or after it was resolved depending on when you play the world quest it's not some old forgotten ruin it was just smack dab in the middle of the landscape and yet the NPC has acted as though it never existed at all in fact the e

ntirety of the Ordo is so removed from the main quest line despite intertwining so deeply with it that as far as anyone is concerned it seems to never have existed but it's not just the end pieces that are affected our dear traveler also comments on the different phases of the moon of this Moon you know the one that is always full I I don't think they see the exact same thing we as players do and you know who else doesn't canila Mosin see things in a very peculiar Way by default but canilla bump

s it up a notch where the traveler saw only a dangerous ruin and a rift wolf canoil saw a flower field and a a puppy and sure enough she was able to waltz through the place as safely as if it were actually a flower field The Traveler wasn't quite so lucky still that didn't take place in the real world but Pimon lives in the real tat and is affected differently from everyone else all the time she's often theorized to be connected to or be EAD of because of her ability to stop time and keep moving

while everyone else freezes in place and her AB to skip time thing is she does no such thing if she were to pause time all the world around her would become Static but the wind never stops blowing instead I think Pimon simply flows through time much faster than anyone else the other characters appear Frozen in time because she's simply moving too fast in relation to them this would explain her separation anxiety during the last Lantern rides the traveler stepped outside the restaurant with ja f

or only a couple of minutes but once they returned Pon was absolutely frantic claiming that they had been away forever from her point of view they might as well have been Pimon never actually skips time either when you want to move time forward you still have to wait it out it simply goes by much much faster and during that time even Pimon freezes imagine that you are driving on the road and on the Lane right next to you there is another car traveling at your exact speed from your point of view

it would look like the car isn't moving because its distance relative to you remains unchanged I believe that Pon is actually infuencing times that the traveler will flow through it at her own speed hence why they both appear Frozen to as players it appears that everyone in tat is experiencing a slightly or not so slightly different reality depending on their beliefs and I know this sounds insane I thought I was insane for the longest time but after the recent F Seas event I know this is a very

deliberate Choice made by the writers in that event zura believed so firmly that her deceased son was sty that she could actually see him and hear him when she talked to the mechanical penguin she was sick with loneliness syndrome so it would be easy to dismiss it as a hallucination caused by the disease if it were not for the fact that the traveler could also see and hear the child ghosts exist in genin we have seen them PL of times everyone has seen them you don't need any special ability to p

erceive them but no one could see little L Co other than his mother and the traveler once they put on F's helmet F himself and Pimon didn't see anything and neither did a traveler before Dawning that helmet it was the helmet that allowed them to see what zurya saw and it's because F Truly Deeply believes that the imaginary worlds people see in their heads are are real somewhere and that his helmet functions as a sort of portal that allows him to enter his imaginary safe space he believed that so

much that he actually gave his helmet the power to perceive these imaginary worlds and that's because F may not be a descender but he has a will all of humanity has a will I believe that's exactly why King dasr and Nabu malikat beli that Humanity has the potential to become the King of Kings if only the gods were not standing in their way your average Joe may not have a will capable of defying an entire world but they still have their beliefs and that will be projected onto the world altering i

t to some extent it's literally mind over matter and it is because humans don't have full control over their willpower that they are slaves to the Flesh and the Order of this world the ssar of spiritual Evolution described by the Ordo with its four cycles hyperboria and atlantian rura and Crown ARA as as well as the unnamed second half of the fource cycle is about human spiritual Evolution and Breaking Free from the gods because if they could do that everyone would possess a will strong enough t

o rival an entire world this is the philosophy of the Ordo around wills and it is mostly inspired by leafus Levi a French esotericist who created his own theory of magic from Concepts that originally belonged to other esotericists according to him magic is not only very real but it is also capable of giving all those wielded superh humanlike capabilities this magic is composed of three main components astly will and Imagination Levi included the concept of astrit Because he believes in astrology

according to him the position of the stars during your birth affects your destiny wish in divat holds very true as constellations determine the fate of the person they belong to interestingly enough the concept of will though not limited to the Enders is heavily linked to them while we don't know how the other three descenders found their way to divat we do know that the traveler arrived as a shooting star alongside the Earth twin will like I've already stated is one's desire goal or ambition a

nd it is brought into being through imagination Levi believed that the human spirit is endless because God was the mind of men and because God was the creator anything the human mind could imagine could be made manifest in reality no need for any complex ritual or even prayers if you could believe it if you could will it it would happen the only condition is that you must not doubt otherwise the results will be uncertain other than that no exceptions if your belief or faith was powerful enough n

othing would be impossible to you it's dream logic if you will a few months ago when Fontaine was released I made a theory about how I believe that they entirety of divat is a reference to through the Looking Glass and how all of it is one Giant's dream and so far it appears that I might actually be pretty close to the truth so think about the subz festiv with samsara and how Neu being the dream host had only two wish to have real patas on the stage in order for them to pop into existence dream

logic imagine it and you shall have it even if you believe something that is false in his book The Law of psychic phenomena Thompson Hudson wrote whether the object of your faith be real or false you will nevertheless obtain the same effects thus if I believe in St Peter's statue as I should have believed in St Peter himself I shall obtain the same effects that I should have obtained from St Peter but that is superstition Faith however produces Miracles and whether it is true or a false faith it

will always produce the same wonders which is interesting because the definition of delusion is a false belief or judgment about external reality and yet in genjin being delusional does grant you power and I'm not just talking about the fatou manifacture delusions though we will get there there cannot be more than one truth and yet everyone seems to experience divat differently whether that's their delusion or not it doesn't change the fact that things happen as they expect them to lco couldn't

actually be FY and yet he was because zurya truly believed that it was a false faith but an unwavering one nevertheless caterpillar also hinted that if you truly believed you were a God you would be capable of Godly acts of Creation in nisen ch's own words only the huus of someone that believes to be above the world can give rise to Miracles and yeah I'd say this is exactly how the fatou Illusions work they are powered by the remains of dead Gods to allow their Willers to acheve Feats that can

even surpass those of allergens and yet yet that power does not come for free using a delusion can drain your life force killing you or leaving you in extreme Agony but not in every case for instance tape managed to use this during a couple of months before this rapid aging caught up to him and tartal has had his delusion for perhaps years by now he's not shy to use it but it does not seem to be dealing with any negative side effects as of yet on the other hand creepers only used it once before

being left in such sorry state that his own son had to put him out of his misery so what's the difference here well crepas was a realist tee was hopeful Talia is clinically insane and absolutely delusional crea's lifelong dream was to be a night but he failed his trials he considered himself too weak to make it and resigned himself to his fate accepting that the gods had other plans for him when Ursa the Drake attacked him in the Luke crepus pulled out his delusion not because he believed he was

strong enough to defeat the dragon but because he loved his son and couldn't bear the thought of his life being cut short especially when he was just now accomplishing everything that had always been out of crea's grasp when he use his delusion he had no delusions of power and Glory he most likely expected to die so the delusion had nothing to feed off of other than his life force tape was something of a middle ground he had Big Dreams and Ambitions but he encountered trouble as soon as he got

transferred to the front lines and had to be rescued by The Traveler and even though he got more than just a taste of Victory every time he saw the traveler he was reminded of the gaping Chasm that separated their power levels remember doubt is the killer of faith and if you do not have absolute Faith the results of your imagination are less than certain as for child he would fist fight gods and Dragons alike any day of the week he truly wants to defeat the entire world and he believes that he c

an do it he has more than enough delusion in him to feed his delusion it pays to be delusional apparently but now you may be wondering where exactly does all of this leave reason and how does it explain why the twin isn't the descender reason is the ability to think to understand the world around you and form logical judgments it's the opposite of delusion reason cuts through delusion the holy blade is said to be able to cut through any will that comes from water and now life comes from the sea

which was how the traveler managed to break through the barrier that an raised to keep them and reality out of anaes the entirety of this little kingdom was the result of the delusions of the merged consciousness of Mary Anne and lyus the traveler was able to force their way in and snap Anne back to reality they forc her to see reason and they did so because according to them to indulge in delusion like this is dangerous as it does not leave room for the future and the leus Levi agrees yes you c

an manifest your delusion into reality but this magic is not without danger according to him and I quote the result may be Madness for those who are not established on the base of the Supreme absolute and infallible reason to him the usage of delusional magic is a deadly path so it isn't a surprise that it has such a negative connotation in GHIN as well the artifact sets flowers of Paradise Lost tells us that the second who came brought with them a tide of delusion which destroyed the land and s

pread plagues to counter this delusion the master of the heavens Heavenly principles sent down the Divine Nails we now know that these nails combat Forbidden Knowledge which is just a form of abysal energy energy so delusion must be associated with the abyss which honestly makes perfect sense we know that Elena's Consciousness existed in the abyss prior to his birth and that him and during both having been created by Ryan daughter and most likely both having abysal Origins had a very skute and d

elusional view of the world where they thought that they were making friends and having fun they were actually leaving only destruction and death in their wake perhaps the Mosin only see the world in the peculiar way they do because having been born from elenas they are also of abysal origin theb order also attempted to corrupt the volin's mind and make him delusional through Duran's corrupted blood but perhaps no one was quite as delusional as the conans Levi claims that using delusional magic

was the reason why Sorcerers always ended up being strangled by the Devils they turned to for power and while cona turned to the abyss and its delusional power were to defy the gods it eventually backfired but not before a certain summoning could occur according to the wanderer the underground nation was the first stop of the twin inat and that only happened because they were summoned by the heavens whatever that may mean the twins probably crashed into theat in different places which would expl

ain why the abys twin never bothered to wake the traveler up they likely didn't know where they were and if I had to guess I'd say the traveler probably landed in starfell Lake the same place where they awaken from their sustainer imposed imprisonment over 500 years later it might just have been their impact that formed the lake regardless the abyss twin has never been considered a descender by herel since the beginning of their Journey was recorded the traveler proposes two scenarios to explain

this number one their memories are wrong perhaps they never traveled other worlds together maybe they are not twins at all number two this world did something to the twin personally I'm leaning towards number two and so is Nicole and the reason is quite simple the abys twin can manipulate Abyssal energy which is associated with delusions delusions and reason are by definition incompatible with each other I believe that is why the threr cannot use portals and Rifts to get to the abyss unlike the

ir sibling because they are risen and just like a sword they cut right through the delusion by that same logic theis twin cannot use reason and is therefore not a descender but but that raises yet another question the only creatures herol seems to be unable to record are the senders and the only traits that seem to set them apart from everyone else are the fact that they hail from a different world and can hold reason simply being from a different world doesn't stop them from being recorded thou

gh so really the only real reason why herol can't see the traveler is reason that must mean that herol is incompatible with reason right because even though abysal energy is so destructive to a that rooked Vata had to sacrifice herself to purge it out of the tree it can still record individuals that wield this energy so reason has to be even more incompatible with it which puts me in mind of Nicole's very weird word choice when she first sted The Traveler after scar mush had raised himself from

herol she said history does not change easily but human hearts can believe leave your own eyes only that which you see is true what is unseen is but an illusion but then cat said people cannot perceive the truth because a body with a self sees the world filtered through the five senses and we just saw that that is true everyone seems to see deat differently and her soul is capable of physically altering the world The Travelers saw with their own eyes that the story the two researchers were writi

ng about Tak kabukim mono changed to not include him at all so how can they trust what they see but they are a witness after all the witness The Traveler doesn't simply see what is in front of them at any given moment oh no they also saw the change even when nobody else could even they believe that Nicole was referring to their memories because they hold reason they can see right through Illusions and delusions if you think about it all the cut scenes where they use reason were about dispelling

delusions OS was delusional because he actually believed he could rise to power Millennia after the end of the Aran War a had a completely delusional view of Eternity she was literally closing herself off from The Real World so she wouldn't have to face reality and Scaro fancied himself a God so if the traveler can see through the changes in Soul which seems to be so incompatible with reason that it cannot record all those wielded should that not mean that her soul her Souls changes and by exten

sion all of tat are delusions and since sashia either created her soul or seems to at least be able to carve fate into it what does this all mean for Heavenly principles what if they aren't Gods at all but that is a question for part to I'm sorry I hate doing this but there is just so much to go over that cramming it all up into one video would probably give everyone IND digestion so have the appetizers first I guess anyway what are your thoughts challenging such an old and sound theory is kind
