After the occasions of the Prologue in Genshin Influence, Venti confesses that he’s solely carrying round a glass bauble. He formed it to seem like a Imaginative and prescient, however it’s not really one. Throughout the meteorite occasion the place varied characters’ Imaginative and prescient glow close to a shard, his ‘Imaginative and prescient’ wouldn’t glow. Nearly all of his energy got here from his Gnosis, which La Signora, eighth of the Fatui Harbingers, stole on the finish of the Prologue chapter.
For now, there’s a huge thriller surrounding the connection between Gnoses and Visions. Venti had mentioned that Imaginative and prescient-bearers are these with the potential to ascend and grow to be a god. Nevertheless, in his personal origin story, he had by no means talked about bearing a Imaginative and prescient in any respect, although he was an elemental wisp at a time. Venessa too had no point out of bearing a Imaginative and prescient, but she ascended proper the place the tree at Windrise is.
Moreover, Gnoses have a transparent chess symbolism. The shapes observe western chess the place Venti’s appears to be like like a queen and Zhongli’s appears to be like like a rook. That presents an issue, as western chess solely has 6 distinct items (pawn, rook, knight, bishop, king, queen). Chinese language chess has 7, whereas Japanese chess (shogi) has 8. Being a Chinese language recreation, it’s seemingly it’ll observe the items of the previous.
If the Archons, who’re gods in-universe, are represented by chess items, who’s enjoying the sport?
Nevertheless, that’s a query for the long run. The sport isn’t even a 12 months previous but, so there’s extra content material sooner or later that would hopefully reply that query. In any case, carry on having fun with Genshin Influence, whether or not by enjoying the sport or having fun with fan-created works!
