* In ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' Sumeru arc, the leaders of Sumeru still venerate the late Rukkhadevata and reject her replacement goddess Kusanali. [[spoiler:Turns out Rukkhadevata has been corrupted by 'Forbidden Knowledge', a MindVirus that causes the Eleazar plague through Sumeru for hundreds of years. She has done a lot to mitigate its effect, but there is one last thing to do: have Kusanali, her designated replacement erase the very last trace of her, because as long people remember Rukkhadevata, Forbidden Knowledge will remain along with her.]] The effect of this act in-game is [[CosmicRetcon one of the most profound.]]

-->''"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever.

Compare RememberTheDead, which takes a more literal case of this trope in regards to the afterlife. Could potentially overlap with FameThroughInfamy, if a character attempts to achieve this by being remembered as a ''horrible'' person. Often overlaps with LegacySeeker, since those who wish to leave behind a great legacy often do so specifically because of this belief.
