A month and a half ago, in the real world.
【Whoa, Si Xuan is not being his usual self, is he?】
【This isn't like you. Shouldn't you just straight-up expose everything?】
【You even revealed that the God's Heart is the relic of the Third Descender,】
【Why not just expose the true purpose of the Bronze Divine Tree you built?】
。。。。。。
Online discussions about Si Xuan became increasingly heated.
At first, when players saw the Bronze Divine Tree beside the Seven God Statue,
They thought MiHoYo was just trying to push some cultural output.
They thought the Bronze Divine Tree was merely symbolic at most.
The in-game text describing the Bronze Divine Tree was straightforward.
"Constructed by a figure of high authority, its purpose remains unknown."
Players had already assumed that the Bronze Divine Tree was just a sneaky way to promote their culture.
But who knew there was another reason?
As for Si Xuan's explanation that the Bronze Divine Tree was built beside the Seven God Statue to collect overflowing geo energy,
Many players simply didn't believe it.
With his personality, building the Bronze Divine Tree next to the Seven God Statue,
Just for a little bit of leftover energy?
He clearly wanted to steal it.
But what was he going to do with this geo energy?
Many were unclear.
But more and more people believed that Si Xuan was planning something big.
It's just that this guy was so happy to expose information about others,
But he kept his own secrets tightly under wraps.
A plan that started five hundred years ago.
Just thinking about it makes you realize how grand it must be.
Many original researchers began working overtime, searching for information within the game,
Beginning their analysis.
At first, they didn't pay attention, so they didn't focus much on the Bronze Divine Tree.
Now that they knew the Bronze Divine Tree was important,
They naturally went searching for clues.
They didn't believe that MiHoYo, known for their attention to detail, wouldn't have any information about the Bronze Divine Tree.
If there wasn't any, it just meant they hadn't found it yet.
Thus, more and more people began searching for information about the Bronze Divine Tree in the game.
Some even created new accounts that hadn't finished the story.
This dedication to overtime, both forced and voluntary,
If their company bosses saw it, they'd probably die of anger.
They complain about overtime on a normal day.
But now they're working overtime on their own initiative?
After days and nights of searching, players finally found some clues.
The original researchers soon organized the information and presented their speculations.
A few days later, an article titled "Conjecture about the Bronze Divine Tree" spread across the forum and MiHoYo community.
The author was the same original researcher who wrote the "Diplomat Analysis Report."
【Actually, I was quite conflicted before writing this,
After all, there is very little information about the Bronze Divine Tree.
So little that I collected every piece of text available in the current map of Teyvat,
And I only found fragments,
Even if it is just a sneaky way to promote their culture,
In MiHoYo's style, it wouldn't be so out of place.
But the current information about the Bronze Divine Tree is scarce.
So scarce that it doesn't even explain why it's called the Bronze Divine Tree,
Why it was designed in the form of a real-life Bronze Divine Tree?
There's no record of these things. It might be related to Si Xuan's origins.
So, to understand the Bronze Divine Tree,
We need to understand Si Xuan first.
From the 3.2 main storyline,
We can see that.
Si Xuan is indeed a Descender, and the Fifth Descender. In other words, he is the last Descender in Teyvat.
From this, we can see that not everyone who comes from another world is a Descender.
The Dendro Archon said there are only five Descenders in this world.
The First Descender is the Celestia, the Fourth Descender is the Traveler, and the Fifth Descender is Si Xuan.
But there are more than five people who come from other worlds.
The most obvious example is Alice, Si Xuan's supposed wife.
Alice is definitely from another world,
But she is not a Descender. This means there are conditions to becoming a Descender.
What are these conditions? I believe one of them is power.
Without power, how can you share the same title as Celestia?
That makes things interesting. Si Xuan isn't a power-type character.
The hints MiHoYo has given us about him are only "technology" and "plan."
So, I believe the reason Si Xuan was called a Descender is his status before arriving in Teyvat.
Si Xuan always thought he was an ordinary person,
And that he could live for five hundred years because he was cursed by the Hydro Archon.
But from Nahida's expression and her answer at that time,
It shows that Si Xuan was not cursed, he might be an immortal being himself.
I initially thought Si Xuan might be an Adeptus who lost his memory.
After all, he has too many Liyue elements.
But Si Xuan said he learned some Immortal Arts from Cloud Retainer.
So, Adeptus is ruled out.
Combining the Sumeru storyline, I think Si Xuan is from a world similar to the Immortal Realm in our novels.
He lost his memory, and the reason he created this thing in the shape of the Bronze Divine Tree,
It might just be his subconscious acting up.
We'll set that aside for now, let's talk about the Bronze Divine Tree.
The earliest record of the Bronze Divine Tree in the game can be found in Ms. Alice's record, "Teyvat Travel Guide: Liyue Chapter."
"I wanted to take the Bronze Divine Tree back to my darling daughter to use as a clothes rack, but then I noticed Mr. Zhongli suddenly turned pale."
There's no need to explain who Zhongli is.
It must be something really important to turn his face pale.
However, in "Teyvat Travel Guide: Inazuma Chapter," we mentioned,
That this thing eventually became a clothes rack for little Klee.
At the time, we thought Alice was lawless, but now it seems,
She was just doting on her wife.
Next, in the map of The Chasm, I found some information.
It reads, "A tree of peculiar shape was planted by those who came from the sky, perhaps it is a new hope for us,
But it could also be a joke."
The Bronze Divine Tree was built, not planted, so I didn't think about it that way at first.
But combining the information about Si Xuan building the Bronze Divine Tree in the event storyline,
We can confirm that the "tree of peculiar shape" mentioned in the document is the Bronze Divine Tree.
And Si Xuan also fits the description of "those who came from the sky."
As for planting, it might just be a figure of speech.
The Sumeru map hasn't been fully opened yet, and these are the only two pieces of information we've found.
The key is the repeated mention of "hope" and "joke."
Based on my speculation, the Bronze Divine Tree might be a weapon, a final weapon to be used against Celestia.
But Si Xuan hasn't fought against Celestia yet.
So he doesn't know if the weapon he built can defeat Celestia.
So, he said it could be "hope" but also "joke."
