It be interesting to Ymir's past and how she found the "Origin of all Organic Matter" (or whatever its exactly called) and how it relates to all Eldians. She must be like a Moses type figure.

The "source of all living matter" is most surely the Coordinate itself, as it has been shown that the point where the paths (which are capable of transporting organic material) converge has very literally the shape of a fountain or a tree. That's the source where living matter is created out of soil and sent to the physical world via the paths.

But this chapter does make me even more curious to see how the hell Ymir happened to find that place, and ended up staying there for an eternity serving as a slave with no free will.

Maybe this was the contract she made with the Devil of All Earth? What if the Devil was the original inhabitant of that place, and it granted her the ability to use it as she pleased, on the condition that after dying she would stay there taking its place?

I can't help but notice that she also doesn't look at all like the powerful queen from legend. She dresses humbly and looks like a mere poor servant. This makes me think that the myths about her reign on the world are not even close to reality, and she was a simple girl who found herself in a situation that she couldn't understand and was never under her control, until it ended in disaster and tragedy for her and the world.

I think it's very possible that we'll see a flashback of her life as Zeke and Eren continue exploring memories in the paths.
