Hey guys please let me know if you pick up any mistakes, once again unedited DX

This newborn world has approximatley one million inhabitants, all of which are souls. There are many corpses in the city, except for Sharpei and Chinchilla, the others are all of evolved humans who originally lived in the city.

Since Momo could give the little baby girl, Sha Luo, a new life through balance- these people may have the same chance. This is what Momo told Sharpei previously when she said he would not die.

    In Mo Mo’s heart, there are several ways to die.

    The first way: when the physical life cycle of biological life forms in the real world is destroyed, the physical death. The body dies and the connection to the soul is severed, leading to the existence of the soul alone. Individual souls will be eroded in the normal world. And for most people, even if they know that the soul has not completely dissipated, they will have no way to preserve it. Therefore, items that can preserve the soul, such as the Soul Wood, is so precious.

    This is the most common way of death. Mo Mo believes that this is not a real death, just a transformation of the form of life to that of a soul form. However, this soul form is incompatible with this large environment, so it cannot exist alone for a long time. The only place where the spirit can exist for a long period of time is in a special environment.

    Sometimes the wisdom of the ancients could not be explained by future generations. Are the terracotta warriors and pyramids really just to honour the dead or to preserve the soul for a longer period of time?

The second way: death of the soul, only retaining the physical body.

Possible?

Possible!

    Momo can clearly feel that she is now able to carry out the second kind of death. If it were before, once Momo had erased the souls of others , then their bodies would die at the same time. But now Momo feels that she can directly cut off the connection between the soul and the body. Whether it is by pulling out the soul or directly erasing it, the physical body would be kept alive. However, Momo has never attempted this and doesn’t know what it would be like to have only the body survive.

    The third way: Whether it is the physical body or the soul, both will disappear from the world. Consciousness loses its medium, and naturally it completely disappears from the whole world.

    To be precise, this kind of death is considered a complete death, and nothing is left.

    The first two methods can only be regarded as incomplete forms of life. If there is a suitable method, it should be recoverable. Of course, in other people’s eyes, the meaning is similar to the so-called resurrection. For example, what Momo is going to do now.

    …

    Momo soon found Sharpei and Chinchilla, the two of them were standing in front of their bodies. Seeing Momo coming, Chinchilla flew over and complained to Momo. Chinchilla is arguably the most unlucky guy, and he died in an obscure way.

    “Okay, it’s okay, there’s nothing wrong with the soul, and the body is roughly intact. I can resurrect you.”

    “Meow~ can I be resurrected?” Chinchilla was thrown into the White Underworld by Momo. He had no idea about what had happened outside, so he was rather confused.*

(*I think the cat was male please correct me if I’m wrong)

    “En, but not the resurrection in the usual sense, rather your life form will be transformed.” explained Momo.

    “I can reconnect your physical body and soul, but this time, it will no longer be the life cycle of the body, but that of the soul. Your soul will be dominant, it will absorb the essence* of the Underworld. The soul will maintain the survival of itself and the body. From then onwards, you will be a resident of the Dark Kingdom.” Momo nodded.

(*breath)

Chinchilla tilted his head in a daze, “I’m so confused!”

    “Is it difficult to understand?” Momo thought it was not that difficult to understand.

    “I can’t say that all life has both a body and a soul, but at least the life on the earth is like this. Life on the earth generally has two life cycle systems, corresponding to the body and the soul. The first one is the life cycle of the physical body. Eating food and transforming it into biological energy. Second, the soul automatically absorbs the energy dissipated from the space and releases the energy needed for life. If you can’t understand it, you may wish to understand the first one as ‘yang qi’, And the second kind is of course’yin qi’.” Momo stopped and explained to Sharpei and Chinchilla, that she was planning on compiling this information.

(*lol I don’t know how Chinchilla would better understand yang and yin qi. My understanding is; positive energy/yang qi can be related to the sun/warmth and life whereas yin qi is mentioned as cold energy related to spirits/dead)

    “In ancient times, some people said that their yang energy is heavy, others said their yin energy is heavy. It is just the difference between the two life cycles. Of course in the outside world, because of the reasoning behind the world’s law, it seemed that Yang (positive) vital energy is better. But Taoism in ancient China discovered long ago, the importance in maintaining the balance between yin and yang.” Momo continued to explain some of the theories Bai Yi had accidentally said before as they turned out to be very useful.

    “My ability has been from the soul since a long time ago.”

    ” I can reconnect your body with your soul. However, because your body has already died, and my ability is part of the problem, your new life cycle will be dominated by the life cycle of the soul.” Momo then raised a finger.

    ‘Yin energy!’ At this time Vala also came to the side, quietly listening to Mo Mo’s explanation.

    “Yes, yin qi can also be called energy.” Momo nodded.

    “Of course, this is actually just the rules of the outside world’s, which leads to a different adaptability of life. In the outside world, yang qi is dominant, so the first kind of life cycle is the most important. But here ……” Momo extended his right hand as if to grasp the sky. “This is the White Underworld, and the laws of this world belong to the Yin Qi, or the vital energy, so normal life here should be dominated by the second life cycle.”

    Different worlds have different environmental laws. These differences lead to a different adaptability to life!

    Vala is not stupid, and she quickly understood what Momo said. Even on the earth, life can be divided into marine, desert, and forest life forms, but now, it is just a little more mysterious. Not only is there a difference in life form, but a difference between the physical and soul life cycles.

    ‘So death?’

    “The real death should be the death of both the body and the soul. The consciousness loses its medium and disappears completely” added Momo.

    In fact, Chinchilla is still confused, and Sharpei more or less understood. Chinchilla’s life experiences are lacking and he was still unable to understand. However, Chinchilla still understood one thing, and that was he could still be resurrected, but just different from before. What’s the matter?  It’s like changing your hair after moving……oh.

    Momo stretched out her right hand, grabbed Chinchilla’s soul, and then merged it back into his body. Her life field fluctuated, and Momo controlled Chinchilla’s soul as it began to reconnect with his physical body. This time when Chinchilla just started to merge, Momo discovered an immense pressure exerted on her. It is completely different from the previous time with Sha Luo. It seems that because of the different strength of the souls, the difficulty of reconstructing the life cycle is completely different.

No one disturbed Momo.

No one had the ability to help her.

    Momo’s hair began to float around her as it gradually turned silver. As Momo’s appearance changed, the pressure on the surrounding souls grew stronger. The spirits that were watching in the distance all retreated back, fearing that Momo would begin another rage induced show of power. After a while, Momo rotated her hands downwards, resulting in four complex seals.

The so-called ten-fingers linking the heart, makes the hand an extension of the soul. The seal is not just a finger movement, but the application of an enhanced ability. In fact, Momo herself did not know what these four complex seals represented, but after they were completed Chinchilla suddenly felt a shock to the body, as if the soul had returned and once again merged with his physical body.

    Chinchilla stood up and looked at his paw doubtfully. He then scratched his forehead, where there remained a fatal wound that had not closed.

    “Your life cycle is now dominated by the soul, and there is no mortal danger on the body. This injury will automatically recover.” Momo explained briefly as she then turned to Sharpei.

‘ Do you need to take a break.’

    “No.” Mo Mo shook her head. When constructing a new life cycle, the more time between the death of the physical body and the reconnection, the more difficult it is. After all, it’s just that the focus is different, and it’s not that the physical body is completely useless.

    “Sharpei, would you like to help me protect this world?” Mo Mo said suddenly while preparing to help Sharpei recover. Sharpei froze for a moment before nodding seriously. How many years have passed since that rainy day when a little Shar Pei met that baby girl? They have long since formed a fate.

“In that case, I grant you the power to protect this world!” Momo’s eyes immediately brightened up.

    Sharpei’s corpse and soul floated up, gradually overlapping. Momo’s eyes became brighter and clearer as the surrounding energy constantly flooded towards Sharpei’s body. Suddenly Sharpei‘s neck tore open as a new virtual head coalesced from the energy. A three-headed dog, the legendary Underworld watchdog! Vala and the others all have a sense of deja vu. Is it the legend that is like this, or was Momo making legends?

    Bound!

    The princess crown on Momo’s head lit up, and something separated from it. Sharpei stood on the flat ground, and his three heads roared towards the sky. The strong sound waves and air waves oscillated so that the entire Underworld space continued to ripple. Every soul felt trembling in their hearts. This is… Momo gave Sharpei the ability to kill the souls of this world!

    After a long time, Sharpei’s roar ceased, and then the third head gradually disappeared. The air returned normal. But everyone knew that when Sharpei exposed his third head, he was the true underworld guard dog.
