Reincarnation Cycle. The cycle which kept a human continuously coming back to life in a new body was something Ning knew was a thing for a long time and had even made use of it to find Hyesi.

There were many things he didn’t know about it, however, and only now was he figuring them out.

“A soul leaves the Realm of Matter, which is our universe, and goes out to the Realm of Soul,” Ning repeated what the system said. “Then it comes back. I think I understand a little.”

He thought about what he had heard about the reincarnation cycles throughout his life and it made sense based on what he had heard for now.

But… there were a few more questions regarding the cycle he now wanted to know about. That was without mentioning the questions that had formed that he hadn’t even gone toward.

“Ignoring the other questions I have for now, I want to know about exactly two different things,” Ning said. “First, why does a soul forget memories? And what does a system help them remember through the reincarnation cycle?”

Those were the two main questions he wanted to learn about before any other questions were answered.

The system didn’t answer for a second, making Ning think he had asked something he shouldn’t have. Something forbidden. However, the system answered a moment later, but not the answer he was expecting.

“Hmm?” Ning got concerned. “What else is there for me to learn?”

Ning’s eyes widened slightly. “There’s more?” he asked. What more could there be other than Energy and Soul? “Is it Matter?” he asked.

Ning’s eyes went wide in shock when he heard that. He placed his chin onto his hands, leaning to try and process what he heard.

“Energy, Soul, and Intelligence,” Ning repeated to himself. “One cannot exist without the other two. What if you take away one somehow?”

“Can you give, umm… some examples?” he asked.

Ning’s posture got straighter when he heard the words. “Death?” he asked. “What are the three parts to death? I know Soul is there, and there is intelligence of course, but… where is the Energy coming from here? The Soul?”

“Woah!” Ning thought.”Go on.”

“I see,” Ning said. “So that’s how death works.” He had never truly thought about it enough to question how it worked, but there had been a thought in the back of his mind as to why exactly a soul left a body when the body was harmed.

Now he understood that it was because of the Triangle. Because the Intelligence in a human was destroyed, the Soul was no longer tethered to that body.

“So… if we can somehow introduce intelligence to a dead body, can the Soul move back?” Ning asked.

“Why?” Ning asked. “That makes perfect sense.”

Ning paused. “What?” he asked.

“That doesn’t make any—”

Ning heard the explanation, thought about it, and immediately had his mind blown once again as he gave thought to the System’s words that were just in passing.

“Wait a minute,” Ning said as the information about spirits in his mind gave him the information he was looking for.

“Holy **!” he couldn’t help but say when he found it out. “Every single matter in the universe has a spirit?”
