Cycles of rebirths in Genshin Impact is one of the popular theories in the community that has been discussed for a long time. It existed from the moment the title was released, and with the release Fontaine gained more supporters when it was confirmed that Samsara exists in the world of the game, and Teyvat itself is now in its fourth cycle.
In this article we will analyze in detail the details of Teyvat’s theory of cyclicity, and also talk about the details that confirm this.
Notes from Narcissenkreutz
While traveling through Fontaine in Ipsissimus Tower you can find a note left by some unknown author. It says that Ordo Narzissenkreuz It was assumed that Teyvat goes through various cycles of Samsara. The document identifies four phases, the names of which are based on ancient texts studied by the society:
- Hyperborea. The cycle of paradise lost, symbolizing the era when Teyvat was frozen.
- Natlantis. The next stage completed is dedicated to the fall of the dragon race, better known as the Seven Lords, who were defeated by the Primordial, Fanet.
- Remuria. The third cycle of Teyvat describes the reign of King Rem.
- Hraun-Arya. According to the records, the Ordo Narcissenkreuz have concluded that the fourth cycle is ongoing, and is already half completed. It reflects the relationship between people and gods.
Nahida's story
First arriving in Sumeru, The traveler becomes a witness and direct participant in the cycles of Samsara. It is in the second chapter of the third volume of the task of the Archons "A hundred fresh roses brings the morning" the hero finds himself in a one-day cycle of Samsara, constantly experiencing the day of the Sabzeruz festival, and meets Nahidu, which tells some details about him and helps him get out of Groundhog Day.
A hint that Teyvat is in the fourth cycle can also be the situation when, during Samsara, the hero is offered to choose any box of treats at the bazaar. And if in the first days there are no difficulties with the choice, then on one of the subsequent days all answer options are written as the word “four”.
Another important detail that becomes known from dialogues with Nahida is that the stories of past cycles of Samsara are written down in the form of books with fairy tales and legends. This leads to the idea that many of the folklore fictions that at first glance are not real may actually turn out to be stories about real events or the fate of other characters.
The tragedy of Ajax
From the same intermediate volume "Inversion of Genesis" The traveler learns that the events of other cycles can be recorded in Irminsul with the help of fairy tales and stories. In stories Tartaglia It is mentioned that his real name Ajax was inspired by a famous legend that can be found in the game.
The story tells of the adventures of young Ajax, who swam into the belly of a huge whale and fought a dragon in the ice for seven days, as well as his tragic love with the Snow Maiden. The plots of folklore Ajax in many points have similarities with the stories of the real Tartaglia, which gives rise to the assumption that Childe may turn out to be the reincarnation of Ajax and follow the fate of the hero.
Furina and the prophecy
Another hint towards the veracity of the theory is the official character teaser Furina. In her video story, the girl directly says that the prophecy came true, and everything died in a great flood, and she herself sits under water, hugging a mechanical dog.
A possible interpretation of this trailer could be that it shows one of the Irminsul records, which reflects the past cycle of Samsara. In it, Furina failed to stop the prophecy awaiting Fontaine and ponders how to deal with it next time.

How old do you think the world of Teyvat is? I think it's about 2 million. While our Earth is 4 billion.
Am I the only one who doesn't understand what Samsara is? That deity at the beginning of the game where we chose Itera or Lumin?
Samsara is the cycle of birth and death in worlds limited by karma.
Simply put, samsara is where the main character finds himself, trapped in a time loop, so to speak, where every day repeats itself. And the deity at the beginning of the game is named Asmodeus.
Her real name is unknown, please don't provide unverified information.
As far as I know, the name "Asmodeus" has long been confirmed in the game files.
I like this theory. The samsaras from honkai are happening here, and the 'descenders' are like Elysia: they are the ones who can change the world, they can stop samsara…
But if Furina/Focalors hadn't been able to prevent the prophecy, then Furina would have dissolved in the primordial water anyway.
to me it looks like... just her experiences in her inner world
I'm a simple man, I want to quickly unite with Fatui, get to Celestia and throw one person down.
Such are the barbaric tastes of the representative of Snezhnaya, ahaha.
