About Genshin and its Lore structure
​
Am I the only one who feels like the story of Genshin, particularly that of the 5 sinners is basically a Xianxia story?
A race of people carrying the bloodline of a descender (venerable senior from an upper realm) And 5 people carrying that bloodline, through devilish means, manage to ascend to the peak of cultivation for this lower realm. Seeing nothing in this world can facilitate further cultivation and that this realm,'s sovereign will probably be hostile, they all peace out to other realms.
Of course this was only done by the 5 sinners because they probably realized that the sovereign of this world has probably hardlocked all cultivation in this realm, allowing no one to ascend to greater power? So they had to resort to unorthodox means?
Instead of qi refining, qi building and core formation through basic cultivation , the enlightenment of their dao is fully facilitated by an external dharma treasure ( a vision), which is also regulated by the minions of said sovereign? The reason the traveler can absorb and use all elements is because he is a true orthodox cultivator able to channel energy through his own body? Unlike the external dharma treasure dependent populace born within a mutilated cultivation system?
The heavenly principles is simply a devilish senior from the upper realms trying to hide in a backwater lower realm, Its just that their usurpation was a huge fumble throughout all these years? From the original ancestor of Teyvat returning to the 3rd descender doing... Something.??
Even the part about abyssal energy. Maybe primordial cultivation at that realm is absorbing and synthesizing the power of the abyss itself... Its just that at realms lower than Sovereign they are susceptible to qi deviation....Thats why the traveler with a former realm unknown can absorb abyssal energy with no risk?
