Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

The girl who had already attracted crazy attention before her official debut and whose popularity was no less than Astraea's before the game was launched, appeared on the screen holding a fan.

Not only the culture of their own country, but also the culture of other countries has been studied in depth. This is the main reason why this footprint PV has become so popular in various countries.

Seven countries, seven different background music, representing seven different cultural heritages.

Not to mention China, even in the whole world, I have never seen a game like Genshin Impact.

Sumeru

"The Book of the Void Ashes Purana"

"Wisdom is the enemy of the god of wisdom, and knowledge is the bait that floats on the surface of the sea of ​​ignorance."

"The scholars of the Citadel are promoting folly, and the wisdom of the gods is fine with that."

Fontainebleau

Sinner's Dance

"The god of justice loves all the drama in court and even longs to judge the gods."

"But she understood very well that only Heaven's Law was an enemy and that she could not be an enemy of it."

Nata

Fiery Resurrection Poem

"The rules of war are engraved in the body of living things. The losers become the embers of the war, while the winners rekindle it."

"The God of War tells this secret to the traveler because she has her reasons for doing so."

Winter Solstice

"The Snow Country Without God's Love"

"She is a god no one will ever love again."

"She is a god who will never love again."

"People follow her because they believe she will one day rise up in rebellion against 'heavenly principles'."

The Seven Kingdoms end here. These are the Seven Kingdoms of the Earthly World in Genshin Impact.

However, in this PV, there is an eighth country.

The background music did not change, still continuing the style of Winter Solstice, but the atmosphere became more depressing, and the tone of the person who was like a narrator who had been talking also changed.

"In the eternity without beginning or end, humans will live a peaceful and dreamless life."

“But in the blind spot of God’s sight, there are still people who want to dream.”

Kanria

"Unprecedented Dream"

"Humans have their own heritage. We are not the dregs left after filtering out the Chosen Ones."

"From outside the world, we gain the power to deny the world."

As the representative character of Kanriya, a portrait of a blond man slowly appears, looking extremely handsome.

Then, the voice that sounded like a narrator continued:

"Now, step into the world."

"Your journey has ended."

"But you haven't passed the final door yet."

Kong's portrait slowly appeared in a sea of ​​flowers, just like the beginning of the PV, but Ying was gone.

"If you understand the meaning of the journey, come forward, defeat me, and order me to make way."

"Prove to me—you're better suited to saving her than I am."

"Then, go and reweave all your destinies."

The screen went black and the words "Genshin Impact" appeared.

However, PV is still not over.

"My memory has worn away so much, but I still remember that she liked these flowers, too."

The PV is finally over.

Da Ma Ge was speechless for a moment.

It is indeed just as he said at the beginning. After finishing the story of Mond and then watching this PV, the shock is even greater.

After taking two deep breaths, Da Ma Ge finally spoke: "Watching it again this time, I suddenly realized that the narrator in the PV could be the character who appeared in Kan Ruiya? Of course, it's not absolute, but it's 90% likely to be the case."

"Of course, this isn't important right now. The key point is the two countries of Fontainebleau and Solstice that appear in this PV, as well as the introduction of these two countries."

"Family, there's a lot of information in this!"

Chapter 17 Disbandment is not far away

"We all know now that the twin protagonists came from outside the world of Teyvat and were intercepted in Teyvat by a god who calls himself the "Sustainer of Heaven's Law." And what are the goals of the Winter Kingdom and the Fatui? From this Footprints PV, we can already tell that they're rebelling against Heaven's Law."

"That is to say, the Fatui may not necessarily be outright villains, but may become the protagonist's teammates in the future, because it is very obvious that Tianli is the true final boss!"

"After talking about Solstice, let's talk about Fontaine—the water goddess even longs for the gods of judgment, but she knows very well that only justice can't be her enemy."

"What does this mean? It means that, contrary to the Ice God of Winter, the Water God is on the side of justice."

"Then, combined with the animated short at the end of the prologue, can we infer that although the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine did not submit to the Ice God's command, he and the Ice God shared the same stance, opposing the laws of nature... This would explain why he and the Ice God agreed to give him the Heart of God, and even the Heart of the Water God."

"In other words, the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is actually very dissatisfied with the Water God. He may betray the Water God in the future, seize the Water God's divine heart, and join the Ice God in raising the banner of rebellion against the Heavenly Law."

"After watching the Footprints PV, let's take a look at the PV for 'Report to Lady Funina - The Fifth Adventer'. It clearly states that the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is an Adventer."

"What is an Adventer? I don't think this needs explanation. The protagonist is an Adventer, coming from another world and possessing special powers. Not only can he drive elemental forces without the Eye of God, but he can also purify the cursed power that pollutes Tevarin. Without the protagonist, Tevarin would be impossible to save. As the Supreme Bishop said, the Fifth Adventer brings hope to Mondstadt."

"And what did the Water God say? The Supreme Bishop is also an Adventer, which means he very likely came from outside this world, just like the protagonist. It's also possible that, like the protagonist, he was stopped in this world by the Upholder of Heavenly Law. In other words, he, like the protagonist, has a grudge against Heavenly Law. This also explains why he cooperated with the Ice God and even wanted to seize the Water God's Heart."

"I'm going to make a bold prediction here. The High Bishop made Leah the Guardian Knight of the Water God, presumably so that he could find an opportunity in the future to have Leah... no, to have Themis backstab the Water God and steal the Heart of the God. After all, as we can see in the plot, Themis completely obeyed the High Bishop's orders and was aware of the High Bishop's plan to steal the Heart of the God."

"And most importantly, Themis is very powerful. She has the strength to backstab a god."

"Although Wendy's divine power is weak due to not ruling Mondstadt, she is still a god after all. The fact that you, the Eighth Executive Officer, were able to easily take Wendy's divine heart is sufficient proof of your strength."

"But in the plot, the lady said that Themis's power is comparable to the top three seats - the top three seats here obviously refer to the top three seats of the Fatui. It is very obvious that the Fatui are ranked according to strength."

"And the top three members of the Fatui may all possess power close to that of gods... not gods like Wendy who have given up their rule, but those who normally rule their countries!"

"In other words, Themis possesses power close to that of a god. If she's given a chance, she might be able to successfully backstab the water god. This kind of plot might appear in the future storylines of Fontaine."

"Of course, it's still a long way off. After all, according to the order of the Footprints PV, Fontaine is the fifth country to be unlocked."

"And I don't know if you noticed, but when the lady expressed disbelief at Themis's strength, she said she hadn't expected Fontaine to have such a powerful figure besides the Supreme Bishop and the Supreme Inquisitor. This means that although the plot describes Solstice as the strongest of the seven kingdoms, Fontaine's strength is probably no less than Solstice's, but it's hidden, and no one else knows."

"And these hidden forces should be the Knights Templar. After all, the lady also said that she had no idea that an organization like the Knights Templar existed in Fontaine..."

Kiana watched the live broadcast with great interest, then turned to Mei and said, "Don't tell me, your analysis is so logical that I'm almost convinced. Could it really be true?"

"So what's going on?"

Mei asked curiously.

"Although we made this game together, you were the one who planned it all, and you're the only one who knows the subsequent plot."

As an open world game, Genshin Impact's R&D team has over 500 people, and the number is still increasing, but the entire planning is in Kiana's hands... In her mind, the team is creating the main storyline of the game, the event plot, and the world background bit by bit according to Kiana's plan. Now Inazuma hasn't been completed yet, and we really don't know anything about the later plot and character settings.

It seems like there are a lot of foreshadowing now, but in fact, no one in the entire R&D team knows how to fill these foreshadowings except Kiana.

Looking at the various analyses of the current plot on the Internet, many people in the R&D team even believed it.

Mei also began to believe it.

"Did the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine really betray the Water God?"

Hearing this question, Kiana said: "I don't know either."

"?????"

Mei widened her eyes slightly. You made the game, you laid the foreshadowing, and you tell me you don’t know?

"I just suddenly wanted to make such a plot, so I did it. I haven't thought about the specific situation yet. I only have the Inazuma plot in mind now."

Kiana said confidently:

"It's okay. Everything will work out in time. The hole we dig now will fill itself up in time."

Mei looked at the streamer's well-reasoned analysis on the computer, her head spinning. Was this game really that flawed? He didn't even know how to fill the hole he'd dug himself, relying entirely on impulsive ideas to create the plot. Mei had never even heard of such a game planner.

Mei covered her forehead with her hands in pain. Was she really going to have to go home and inherit the family business in the future?

From an outsider's perspective, the establishment of miHoYo can even be said to be somewhat legendary.

On a dating website "Friends Club" created by Bronya that can automatically translate various languages, girls from all over the world gradually come together to communicate.

The website is not well-known, and Bronya has no intention of promoting it to the public.

She created this website just to help her sister Xier make friends, so this dating website cannot actively register, and members are all recruited.

At the beginning, Bronya only recruited Kiana and Mei to join the club besides her sister Seele, because the three of them were very good friends.

As the heirs of three internationally famous families, they hit it off at first sight. Therefore, when Bronya wanted to help Seele, who has autism, make friends, the first two people she thought of were them.

And then it becomes human-to-human transmission.

The three of them each invited their friends to join, and their friends invited their friends to join, and their friends' friends invited their friends to join, and then, unknowingly, there were hundreds of members from all over the world in the friendship club.

Each of these members has an extraordinary identity or possesses special skills. In short, each of them is not simple, but they are all good people. Xier also gradually began to communicate with these people.

And one day, Kiana suddenly said in the meeting: "I don't want to inherit the family business anymore. I want to make a game myself. Let's do it together. What do you think about everyone getting together in a game company, working and living together?"

The church members had a heated discussion on this issue, and finally found that everyone agreed with Kiana's proposal, and no one wanted to inherit the family business.

Those who don't have a family business to inherit think that working in a game company where all employees, including the boss, are friends is simply a dream life.

Therefore, the proposal was passed smoothly.

But here comes the problem.

The game proposed by Kiana seems promising, but... there is no money to produce it!

If you give up the family business, it will be impossible to use the family money again.

The members of the club are all proud of themselves, and it is impossible for them to ask their families for money while saying they want to start their own business.

But if I don’t ask my family for money...how can I play this game?

Roughly speaking, can you develop this game without a nine-digit R&D budget?

——At this time, two great masters appeared in the meeting.

Fu Xuan: "As for money, I have it. I made a lot of money telling fortunes online, probably hundreds of millions."

Qingque: "Don't worry about the money. I won hundreds of millions playing mahjong in the casino this year. That should be enough, right?"

So, problem solved.

Qingque and Fu Xuan each contributed 500 million, while Kiana planned to invest. The three of them each held 20% of the company's shares, and positions were allocated by drawing lots. The remaining 40% of shares were divided equally among other members. As for the equity distribution of various subsidiaries in the future development plan, it would be discussed separately when the time comes. In any case, everyone will be able to succeed in their business... The atmosphere in the company is so friendly that there is not even a dispute over interests.

And just like that, miHoYo was founded.

However, although the members finally convinced their families, they also promised one thing - if their business ventures failed, they would return home to inherit the family business.

Of course, the same is true for Mei.

And now...

Looking at Kiana next to her, she inexplicably felt that the time for everyone to disband was not far away.

"Looking at the current revenue, Genshin Impact should be able to make at least a few billion... Otherwise, why not use the profits to quickly transform?"

Chapter 18 Coral Palace Heart Sea

When Coral Palace Xinhai was alone, he sighed tiredly.

Since the Eye Hunting Order was issued, the owners of the Eye of God were hunted by the shogunate army, and thus lost their wishes. The anger of the people turned into shouts, and Xinhai led those people to raise the banner of resistance.

The battle between the rebels and the shogunate army began from then on.
