After the occasions of the Prologue in Genshin Influence, Venti confesses that he’s solely carrying round a glass bauble. He formed it to appear to be a Imaginative and prescient, however it’s not really one. Throughout the meteorite occasion the place numerous characters’ Imaginative and prescient glow close to a shard, his ‘Imaginative and prescient’ wouldn’t glow. The vast majority 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 stated that Imaginative and prescient-bearers are these with the potential to ascend and turn into 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 seems like a queen and Zhongli’s seems 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 possible it should observe the items of the previous.
If the Archons, who’re gods in-universe, are represented by chess items, who’s taking part in the sport?
Nevertheless, that’s a query for the long run. The sport isn’t even a yr previous but, so there’s extra content material sooner or later that might hopefully reply that query. In any case, carry on having fun with Genshin Influence, whether or not by taking part in the sport or having fun with fan-created works!
