From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

That's how it is.

As the sun dipped westward and the moon rose in the east, at the moment when the sun and moon were in the same sky, the space where the cliffs and strange rocks stood seemed to pulsate.

At first, the rhythm was like someone throwing a pebble into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Then, the ripples collided with each other and scattered, like the endless waves of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a rhythmic undulation resembling ocean waves spread out in an instant, enveloping the desert within a radius of tens of kilometers.

As if a spring breeze had arrived, the yellow sand within a radius of nearly a hundred miles was covered in greenery, with grass and trees growing tall and flowers blooming, bringing vibrant life to the desert as if it were a miracle!

Adez Bey, with a devout look in his eyes, knelt down and prostrated himself in reverence toward the center of the oasis.

O'Connor was also taken aback by this scene.

Indeed.

He had witnessed the power of Jiang Liu and Zhao Yingkong in resisting sandstorms, but this miracle of turning a desert into an oasis in an instant was equally astonishing!

"It's simply a miracle!"

O'Connor kept exclaiming in surprise.

Jiang Liu, however, remained calm. Sensing the flow of the aura, he looked up at the sky and saw the sun and moon shining together, casting golden and silvery light, subtly influencing the Selket aura and causing the space within the aura to overlap with reality.

Just then, Jiang Liu sensed something and looked north, where a group of people were rapidly advancing in their direction.

The leader was a muscular man with a shaved head, accompanied by a woman with a voluptuous figure. Behind him followed two members of the East China Sea team and a lewd-looking Englishman.

It was Imhotep, Rice, Mitsui Michi, King Shrine, and an English guide named Benny.

Behind them were dozens of believers dressed in red robes—

Imhotep also knew that the Amshe Oasis would only appear on the day of the Sylph Festival.

Therefore, even though Mitsui-do and the Prince of Shinto knew the location of the Amshe Oasis, he was not in a hurry to come over. Instead, he recruited a group of people, expanded the slave army that served them, and even caused a great disturbance in Cairo, capturing Evelyn, Jonathan, Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, and Ron.

As the Sylvania Festival approached, the aura of Serket continued to spread, already covering Cairo. Imhotep, who could transform into sand and dust, was connected to the aura to some extent. Although he was not as good as Lu Jin in close combat, once he cast a spell, Lu Jin could hardly resist and could only temporarily surrender, and he and Duanmu Ying pretended to join the other side.

Imhotep was naturally delighted. After all, ruling Egypt required assistance, and he couldn't do everything himself. In his eyes, ordinary people without ability were just slaves, while capable people like Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, and Ron were his warriors and officials.

As for loyalty?

As long as you offer enough benefits, loyalty is not an issue!

And there is only one thing he and Ansuna need to do in the future: enjoy endless pleasures after ruling Egypt!

[Lu Jin, Mu Ying, you two have been "captured," why haven't you contacted me?]

The moment Jiang Liu saw Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying, he signaled the Central Continent Team behind him to conceal themselves with O'Connor and Adez Bay, then pulled the two into a group chat, jokingly saying, "[Did you abandon me for wealth and glory? I'm so heartbroken!]"

I've already said it! My surname is Duanmu!

Duanmu Ying roared inwardly.

[Hehe! Brother Jiang, isn't this just to avoid interfering with your operations? So we're feigning surrender, planning to launch a coordinated attack from within later!]

Lu Jin remained outwardly calm, but inwardly chuckled and revealed the truth. Then, his expression turned serious, and he stopped joking. "After returning to Cairo without stopping, we searched for information in libraries and museums, and found a clue inside the coffin of Seti I."

The translation is:

The dead reside in Hamunaptra in the north, and the sun in Amshe in the south. The two scriptures govern death and rebirth. The one who possesses the Black Scripture of the Dead is a priest and can cast spells; the one who possesses the Golden Scripture of the Sun is a pharaoh and rules over heaven and earth.

The Golden Book of the Sun is in the Amshe Oasis!

Imhotep also wanted to go to the Amshe Oasis, so we pretended to follow him.

Jiang Liu said: [Then continue to hide and wait for an inside-outside attack. Also, keep an eye on Ron.]

【clear.】

Even without Jiang Liu's reminder, Lu Jin would have paid attention to Ron—this guy was the weakest and had a strong worldly mentality, so there was a chance he would actually side with Imhotep.

We must be vigilant.

There's one more thing.

Duanmu Ying said, "Regarding Evelyn, Imhotep went to Cairo not only to recruit soldiers, but mainly for her."

Recalling Evelyn's "unusual" reaction to the scene depicted in the mural at Hamunaptra, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and instructed: "Then keep a close eye on him, and also keep an eye on Jonathan. He has a golden short rod; it might be useful. Try to 'borrow' it while you're at it."

After hanging up the call, Jiang Liu asked Zheng Zha and the others, "Is there anything else you're hiding about Evelyn's identity?"

“Evelyn? Isn’t she just a rather rigid woman?” O’Connor spoke first.

But no one paid any attention.

Zheng Zha knew that Jiang Liu was asking about the plot. He glanced at Isaac, Hermione, O'Connor, Adles Bay, and other unrelated people, realizing that as long as they didn't mention the word "God," they would be fine. However, they only had a general understanding of the plot of the Mummy series.

Xiao Honglu said, "Evelyn is the reincarnation of Seti I's daughter. Strictly speaking, Anshuna is her stepmother."

"What? Reincarnation?"

O'Connor was surprised that reincarnation was actually real, and that Evelyn was the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter. She couldn't help but remark, "No wonder she's so rigid; she was a real old-fashioned person in her past life! Also, it explains why she's so obsessed with Egyptian culture! Because she's the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter... Speaking of which, aren't we Medgar warriors supposed to protect the Pharaoh and his daughter?"

"Yes."

Ades Bay nodded vigorously, then shook his head. "But the Pharaoh is a thing of the past. We don't need to risk our lives for him. The only thing we need to protect is Serket."

Few people were interested in the conversation between the two, but Zhan Lan wondered, "Does reincarnation really exist in this world?"

"What do you say?"

It was Zhao Yingkong who spoke, "Imhotep has been resurrected."

Zhan Lan blushed, realizing she had asked a stupid question.

However, Jiang Liu explained: "Reincarnation does exist, but it is not quite the same as what you imagine. What reincarnates is the innate Qi, not the soul."

The primordial Qi is the key and essence that endows human life activities and thinking.

People age, which in spiritual practice refers to the loss of primordial energy and its return to nature. From this perspective, primordial energy is the essence of the soul.

But in essence, it is just a form of energy.

The soul, on the other hand, is the thought and consciousness generated by this energy in conjunction with the brain; it is a fluctuation or information that can neither be considered energy nor matter.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, once a person dies, their soul disperses into the world.

To put it simply, the carrying of information requires the interaction between matter and energy. If there is only information but no carrying matter or energy, it is impossible for it to exist directly in the real space.

The reason ghosts and monsters exist is due to special circumstances, such as the existence of a specific energy field, or other factors, which allow soul information to exist by relying on Qi. However, due to the incompleteness of this information, ghosts and monsters are mostly in a state of confusion and ignorance.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "If the definition of a soul is a fluctuation of thought information generated by the transformation of matter and energy, then it's indeed easier to understand. Reincarnation does exist, but it's not the soul that reincarnates; rather, matter and energy circulate through transformation. As for information..."

If we consider nature and the universe as a super-complex computer, then the human soul is the data within that computer.

# Chapter 547 Reincarnation Exists, But Not as a Soul (Part 2)

"The cycle of matter and energy is essentially the interaction of information, and the soul is information. Information can be created, copied, pasted, and even lost and never found again, but it cannot be reincarnated."

At this point, Chu Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility: was the creation of humans by the main god through the collection and processing of information?

in the case of--

So, in the future, they might encounter another version of themselves, copied by the Supreme God… The Supreme God recruits reincarnators, forcing them to unlock their genetic locks; there must be a purpose behind it, not just for amusement. Therefore, to understand the meaning of life, to truly live, the final enemy they will face is—

It must be myself!

The main god will most likely copy the potential reincarnators to form a team, and compare them with the original. Whoever wins will be qualified to truly live!

Perhaps before certain conditions are truly met, or before a higher level is achieved in the genetic lock, all life, whether it be humans from the so-called "reality" or humans from the horror movie world, is, in the eyes of the main god and the being behind the main god, merely a string of information data carried in the process of interaction between matter and energy, insignificant...

"Yes."

Out of respect for individual life, Jiang Liu does not casually perceive the fluctuations of other people's thoughts, so he did not know what Chu Xuan was thinking. He simply continued, "Therefore, once a person dies, the soul will dissipate. Even if it can manifest by relying on a special environment or special things, or by using energy or magnetic fields, it will mostly be in a daze."

However, as long as a way can be found to restore a person's complete information to the cycle between matter and energy, then rebirth and resurrection can be achieved.

therefore.

Resurrection, rebirth, or even possession by another body are indeed possible.

Imhotep was able to resurrect himself by using Evelyn to turn the key of the Book of the Dead and activate the energy field, allowing his information to return to his body and condense a primordial energy.

And reincarnation of the soul—

It's impossible. At most, one could entrust their complete memories to the primordial Qi to complete the so-called 'reincarnation'.

The jade-winged, golden-scaled mermaid is like that, entrusting her own information to the primordial Qi, flowing with the Qi in nature, and completing the cycle of reincarnation.

At the same time, a wisp of distracting thought also surfaced in Jiang Liu's mind: perhaps the reason why he, as a "transmigrator," exists is also related to the form of entrusting information to the innate Qi.

Of course, Jiang Liu was not swayed by his own identity. He immediately cut off this distracting thought and continued, "Evelyn is the reincarnation of Pharaoh Seti I's daughter. It's highly likely that the ancient Egyptians, in their self-cultivation, reached the level of integrating memory information into their primordial Qi—"

The definitions of the terms may differ, but the general idea is the same.

Judging solely from Evelyn's behavior and thought processes, aside from her fascination with ancient Egyptian history, there's nothing particularly outstanding about her. She and the Pharaoh's daughter cannot be considered the same person or soul... Clearly, ancient Egyptian research in this area was not detailed enough.

In this regard, Taoism in China, especially the Quanzhen School, has conducted considerable research on this topic. Purifying thoughts and ideas and cultivating the Yang Spirit is a path to heaven.

And Zhan Lan suddenly realized.

After all, the timeline between "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" is only ten years apart, while the reincarnation of Ankurna in the second movie, Rice, is clearly more than ten years older!

This means that Ankula's reincarnation already existed in the first movie!

Originally, Zhan Lan thought it was a plot hole, but now she understands that Rice was not the reincarnation of Ansuna's soul. It was just that the ancient Egyptians allowed some of their memories to go through multiple natural cycles of matter and energy with their innate Qi during their cultivation, thus giving birth to Rice.

"So, Evelyn is in a superposition of being both the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter and not the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter?" Zheng Zha concluded, completely bewildered.

"You could say that, but you most likely didn't understand at all."

Jiang Liu remained silent. "From the perspective of the soul, Evelyn is not the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter at all. It's just that the innate Qi that sustains her life may have originated from the Pharaoh's daughter."

It contains some of the Pharaoh's daughter's memories, and there is even a chance that Evelyn's appearance will resemble the Pharaoh's daughter.

But essentially they are two completely different people, and as she ages and her innate vital energy dissipates, the influence of the part belonging to the Pharaoh's daughter will diminish.
