Khaenri'ah simply saved up enough intertwined fates and pulled for lumine🔥

[apple_leaf]

Not Khaenri’ah doing the 50/50 meaning 0.1% chance for a isekai protagonist

[arnowisp]

Kheanrian pulled the Gacha and won 2 five stars in a Row.

Also a throwaway line in the Marie Ann quest, Marie Ann asks Lumine about flowers in her home land and Lumine answers the flower in her hair but that flower is meant to be from Khanreiagh.

SATOR, AREPO, TENET is an ancient mystic square of letters that was discovered in it's earliest forms at Pompeii. Sator Square on Wikipedia. The Genshin Lore subreddit correctly identifies the Corax, miles, lympha with Initiatory ranks in the Mithraic Mysteries

One note: It's never said that it was the Second Who Came that assisted the First with making the gnoses out of the Third. It just says "one who came after" helped create them. It doesn't have to have been a Descender.

Let me tell you a story, the final story arc of Honkai 3rd part 1: There was once a scientist who lost her entire planet in a disaster where an entity from the Abyss preyed on the dreams of her civilisation, she became the sole survivor and continued the final work of her people, to find a way to bring back her civilisation and world. She suffered in loneliness for centuries only accompanied by the backups of the brainwaves of her people she hopes to bring back if possible, these "people" exist in a dream like data space, continuously playing out in an endless cycle as she fails to find any solution for countless centuries.

One day she came to a conclusion, to be able to bring back a whole planet and civilisation, she has to become comparable to the entity that destroyed her planet, she has to become a god. So she made a clone of herself to take care of the ongoing work as she prepares to undergo a process that will transform her as she absorbed power from beyond. This second who came retained as much humanity as possible, but was not allowed to be human, she was merely there to sustain the principles and processes to keep the entire project alive.

After even more centuries the newly made god reawakened, she checked on the work of her sustainer, who has now prepared a planet for her to bring back the civilisation. The god has lost nearly all her humanity in the process of becoming a god, becoming more about logic and authority, which she believes is needed to reconstruct an entire world. She was unsatisfied with the lifeless planet even as she seeded it with new life, it's a mere imitation of what she intends to achieve, so she continuously destroyed and reseeded the world for countless cycles, all while her more human-like clone watched in despair, herself slowly losing her own humanity over time.

Each time the world was destroyed and awaiting rebirth, the god would enter hibernation and meditation to save energy, but this time she awakened to a different scenario, an interstellar traveler and her ark which contained seeds of life and technology to terraform a planet had crashed landed on her planet. This 3rd descender herself was in hibernation, so the god took advantage of the ark's technology as well as the traveler's unique ability, the ability to shape reality as she paints with the colours of the rainbow.

The god decided to split what remains of her own humanity left into 7 colours, making 7 clones of herself of different authority representing different aspects of her personality to govern the planet and further advance the process and experiment of bringing back her world. Even with the 7, she was unsatisfied with the world she has made, she continued destroying and rebirthing the world in countless samsaras.

Then a 4th traveler descended on this planet, summoned by a mysterious entity, met the 7 as well as the 2nd who came, turns out she was a comrade of the one who descended before her. Now we as the 4th and 3rd who descended on this planet is working with the 7 and the 2nd to defeat the god and make her realise where she has gone wrong in her desperation to bring back her world.

And the person who summoned us in this story is also a comrade of the 3rd Descender Griseo and 4th Descender Fu Hua. Btw this person who summoned them is called Su, creator of the bubble universe "Sumeru", has the ability to view and interact with bubble universes across the Hoyoverse; In Genshin he is Alhaitham, but Alhaitham definitely has nothing to do with summoning the Siblings. Su summoned Fu Hua(4th) to help Griseo(3rd) and in the process save the world from the 1st's mistakes. What happened in the end? 1st was defeated and the 2nd took all her power, leaves the planet to let them flourish on their own and she finally gets freedom.

There's too much parallel with this current Honkai 3rd arc and Genshin to ignore, in fact the 3rd descender in this story Griseo, once had a long speculated and debunked theory to be the Primordial One in Genshin as she had the power to manipulate reality and terraform worlds with her ark and mission to travel the stars to be the backup of Earth and humanity.

The beastly rifts remind me of when a melusine said that traveller appeared to be a huge monster that can devour the world (forgot the quest name, probably the one w/ the artist melusine) Melusines have a special sight, so maybe they could sense something abt the traveller?

The three rings of Latin have been adequately addressed elsewhere and I'm sure someone will go over the details, however, it's one thing to translate them with Google and another to figure out the real meaning. Well - having said that the smaller two rings are just magical sounding harry Potter nonsense.

But the third (which I recognized from the original runes) is the same message as appears on the Lector's prayer book, which is a modified version of the words on Mona's circle, the hydro seal on the door of what became Mona's house and the Hypostases when they cast spells. It is (in Latin)

ex culmine lucis in magno elementorum
lux se effundat in mentes dei

and the Abyssal version is:

Ego sum fatus Abyssi ergo mondo
ex culmine lucis in magno obscuritatis
lux se effundat in mentes Abysso

And at first I though these words were just some magical sounding filler, but as the years have gone on, the overall plot has kinda made these statements more and more relevant because they speak of, or pray for, either the Primordial One or the Second Throne to absorb the elemental energies of the Light Realm. There are many translations from the Latin and here's mine:

From the most perfect radiance within the supreme elements
let energy pour into the minds of god

Abyss version:

I am the fate of the Abyss, therefore I say
From the most perfect desolation within the void
let energy pour into the minds of the Abyss

Now at this time we also have the Primordial One gathering the authority of the Sovereigns ("most perfect radiance") of the 7 elements ("the supreme elements") into thrones presumably using the absorptive quality of Celestial energy and it's higher tier status over elemental energy with "the minds of god" a reference to the will of higher tier energy.

Some similar sort of energy collection plan appears to be going on in the Abyss, where there are "dark currents" the equivalent of Ley Lines (according to Enkanomiya).

You can see that the two statements are like mirror images except the Abyss version has the added first line, "I am the fate of the Abyss, therefore I say" which is a pretty obvious thing for an Abyss Lector to say but also reminiscent of the "Fortune Lector" from Caribert.

SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS is a magic square or in this case, rune that protects from demons, harm and such. It was found in the ruins of Ancient Pompeii (Uh, that symbolism)

[akashmahesh]

How am I getting to know that the siblings were summoned by khaenrians only now?!💀 I thought they came to teyvat after their home world was destroyed?

[spieds]

About Beastly Rifts, if you're interested, there was a discussion of it some time ago on Lore subreddit and i have made a post there compiling the most prominent info from all the discussions. The post called "Analysis of Beastly Rift" and should be under "Lore Resource" tag.
And if you're only interested in translation and want to look stuff up from 0 on your own:
Outer circle: Lux se effundant in mentes dei, Ex Culmine lucis in magno elementorum
Middle Circle: Messor Phaos Pater Corax Lympha Miles Leaena
Inner Circle: Opera Rotas Sator Arepo Tenet
It's really interesting, especially since they never really came into play and you can find a separate one on the institute territory (near one of the southern waypoints i believe) with camera setup right next to it

“ Thousands of Worlds you have Traveled, Yet you are as naive as a Child, no Lessons of any manner Sustained, that is why your Power to change Destiny has been Sealed, and your Kin’s has not, you have betrayed Their Trust…”

[samiashley]

The tenet opera sator bit is a reference to sator squares, a sort of symmetrical poem in Latin that was seen as a magical symbol in the middle ages due to reading the same in all directions

I'll just assumed that at certain point Descenders cannot enter Teyvat again. So Kaenriah sent outside a bait to form a connection, kind of like a fishers throw a bait into a river when fishing.

And then when Lumine back to Teyvat she knows she'll get cubed by the Unknown Goddess. After she got cubed, she immediately wake up and run to Kaenriah, only to saw the city got wrecked.

Meanwhile Aether only wake up 500 years later since he's not from Teyvat so the cube effects took longer than Lumine.

[gmoney]

I understand all of the Celestia hate, but I feel like 99% of the people of Teyvat just want to live out a normal life and the other 1% get nukes dropped on everyone because they tried too hard to become Honkai characters. I guess I’m questioning the morality of the righteous few, like the descenders, to take it upon themselves to try and shatter the illusion that, let’s say, the people of Mondstadt and Liyue are straight chilling in. 😅

[KayanP]

"the arrogance of humankind ends now" hits a lot harder with this theory

[saaishpanhalkar]

I think the main reason why our sibling is considered from this world is because she was summoned and the summoning was approved the summoning however we just came with our sibling. Maybe this is one demand to become a descender

[mikkomuukka]

If I remember correctly, Jewish Merkabah mysticism has this thing about "descending to the heavenly chariot" and becoming one with God. Mystics who managed this were sometimes called descenders.

As for reaper/harvester, I believe there is a book in genshin that refers to a reaper like individual harvesting souls within a kingdom. It has a connection to the Crimson Moon.
