<p>I don't understand what 阿卡西 means nor why it's written there.  It seems like 虚空 here is used as a proper noun, so it might be an alternative name or something like that.

I don't understand what 阿卡西 means nor why it's written there. It seems like 虚空 here is used as a proper noun, so it might be an alternative name or something like that. This is not my first time encountering this "written in small characters above a word" writing in Genshin Impact.

**Question**: Why is 阿卡西 written above 虚空 in the Genshin Impact sentence 因为在「虚空」之中，目前还没有你们的信息?

Akasha (阿卡西) literally means void (虚空), so there seems to be interchangeability between the terms. In Chinese 虚空 may not be interpreted so specifically, it appears that the creators have tacked 阿卡西 on top to specify what exactly it is they are referring to here.
