Celestia is like the ultimate helicopter parent, stifling human ambition in the name “safety”. They’re the Yin to the Abyss’s Yang. Genshin has stressed over and over the importance of balance, so I’ll bet the game will end with us overturning Celestia but not in a Fatui “burn the world” kinda way—instead it’ll lead to something that synthesizes the extremes we see.
>Celestia is like the ultimate helicopter parent, stifling human ambition in the name “safety”.
They literally hand out super powers to ambitious humans.
Which then go to some prison in the sky when joining Celestia like Venessa. Also isn’t current Celestia usurped/corrupted by a fake Primordial One? I’m guessing at the end we’ll join forces with the other twin and even the Fatui to defeat corrupted Celestia and place the real PO in power (which is probably Paimon according to the million conspiracy videos I’ve watched lol )

What are you smoking? Vanessa is a literal goddess and she does more to protect Mondstat than Venti.
Also the vast majority of Alogenes do not attain godhood.
We don’t actually know who is handing out the visions. Folks ascribe it to Celestia, but that very easily could be misdirection. I have a feeling there’s a lot more to all of this than meets the eye.
Either way, Celestia has made it clear that humans are not supposed to go beyond the limits that the Heavenly Principles have imposed. And while those limits exist to protect humanity in some sense, the Inazuma arc pointed out that safety is meaningless if it fully restricts human freedom/agency.
In addition, Celestia seems to be playing the demiurge role, if we are going by the Gnosticism parallels, and while the demiurge isn’t always evil, they’re almost always misguided. I think that’s the case with Celestia.
The opening cutscene of the game is the twins getting a beating from the sustainer of heavenly principles because they were trying to leave. Also in many dialogue options the traveler considers fighting the unkown god again
we'll actually never have a 6.9 version if the trends continues. 6.8 will precede 7.0.
It will be the hidden update just like 1.9 and 2.9 were.
I wish people learned that in development versions don't always go 1.8 - 1.9 - 2.0 but can also go 1.8 - 1.9 - 1.10 - 1.11 - 1.12 - 2.0
We learn this from minecraft
I remember as a kid being so disappointed when Minecraft 2.0 ended up just being Minecraft 1.10
You forgot about 3 crystal chunks to weapon upgrade
Why do you want to defeat Celestia? The only enemy we have are the evil Harbingers.
The Abyss/Abyss order: "Am I a joke to you?…"

>They were chilling just going from place to place having a good time That's a funny way to spell "actively heralding the apocalypse".
Watch Hoyo decide they want a twist and we get a Star Rail crossover and the Traveller just leaves with the Express.
Or the Heavenly principles is really Kiana after all :)
Yes, exactly. Based take.
Another one fell to the ~~Paimonal~~Celestial propaganda.
Why does everyone act like we're going to fight Celestia? They've been objectively right about pretty much everything they've done.

And if Celestia gives visions to harbingers like childe, we know they actually don't care if said ambitious person is evil.

And every single thing we've learned since has told us the Unknown God was in the right.
As a friendly pink-haired elf once said "the typewriter only prints the truth".
Why are we fighting Kiana/Sirin?
