Guys, guys, guys, HEAR ME OUT!!! What if the mc didn’t die of bad luck or coincidence but something or someone sent her to genshin impact. And looking into the other au we can see that she holds important roles in other universes too ( take HI3rd for example where she is the captain of Hyperion). It is almost as if she is destined for greatness and don’t even get me starting on all that foreshadowing where she keeps being seen as the salvation for the abyss or repeatedly being told that she will take over both the abyss and the world(teyvat). And we all know when a someone dies their soul simply heads to the afterlife and that’s it BUT NO! NO NO NOOOO, her soul not only survived but also crossed through entire dimensions all the way to a whole other reality and the soul stayed INTACT despite all of THAT!? There must have definitely been some outside interference and I’ve been thinking that it’s something like this:
Somewhere deep from within the universe, innumerable lightyears away, there exists something beyond the comprehenion of mere gods and mortals alike. It can only be described as an entity consisting of the heavenly bodies of the cosmos.
With its eve it spreads its gaze across our universe, and with its distorted concept of time of both an instant and an eternity it set its sight upon earth. By a quirk of fate or by mere chance, this entity imparts you with a gift.
A key to unlock an ending of your choice.
When you have chosen your element, a new power invigorates your body and mind. A thousand voices chant the same verse.
"One Universe. One Element. One Evolution. One Chance, Gifted One."
As the voices face away you realize you are not alone.
Well this is my theory about how she came to genshin impact. I’d love to hear the author’s opinion on this since there are a lot of mysteries surrounding the story!
