Does a human being really have a soul?

If a person has a soul, what will the world be like after death? Will one still be conscious?

When he was alive, Eve had many thoughts about this issue many times.

And every time after thinking about it, Eve came to almost the same conclusion that he must have just eaten too much and become bored.

When Eve finally had the opportunity to test and verify this issue, he was confused…

This was a dark world.

Eve was lost in contemplation of the infinite darkness before him.

First, he could be sure that he was indeed dead. And then he appeared in this weird space.

Although Eve did not understand the reason why he was still conscious, it was obvious that he was stuck in this space.

Loneliness. Darkness.

The only things he could see were two dim, flickering balls of light; one was blue and the other was green.

Eve tried to stretch out his hand, only to find that he didn’t have a body. It seemed as if he was nothing but consciousness itself.

But luckily, it seemed that he could float like a cloud.

That was to say… he was in the form of his own soul?

Eve suddenly came up with an idea.

After contemplating for a moment, Eve hesitantly floated toward those two dim balls of light.

The green ball was very big. Eve beheld its fantastically mysterious, twinkling light.

The blue ball was very small. Eve found its dimness and softness to be incredibly pleasant.

After thinking for a few seconds, Eve decided to touch the blue ball first.

While Eve was trying to touch it, countless faint prayers suddenly echoed throughout the space…

The voice was disembodied, soft and holy, seeming to have a magic power to spontaneously calm souls.

Eve was surprised. He turned his attention to it and found that the voice seemed to be rising from the green ball of light.

The prayers continued with silent intervals. They were in a language that Eve had never heard before, but he found it wonderfully beautiful.

Although Eve did not understand what the voice was saying, he was able to perceive its unspeakable sadness and despair.

His curiosity conquered everything.

Subconsciously, Eve turned his attention and stretched out toward the green ball of light.

Just as Eve touched the ball of light, the whole world changed.

He was instantly in a daze, while an enormous amount of information blasted into his consciousness.

Eve’s vision dimmed, and then countless scenes unfolded in his mind–

A vast expanse of ancient land…

A mysterious seed fell from the sky…

An exotic, huge tree sprouted from the earth…

Several beautiful figures emerged from the tree…

“Elves…?”

Eve came up with this idea while gazing at the figures that had often appeared in fantasy role playing games in his former life.

Before Eve had any more time to think, the green ball of light generated a great magnetic power, instantly sucking him into it…

…

“A proper soul has been captured.”

“This condition has acted as a trigger. Conduct the ceremony of waking up the World Tree.”

Eve heard a faint, unfamiliar voice.

It spoke in a strange language, but to his surprise, Eve realized he could understand it.

As soon as the voice faded, Eve’s vision brightened.

Eve found that he had come into a world, surrounded by countless green photons.

These photons were innumerable flying green balls of light, unspeakably brilliant and fantastic.

What’s going on?

Eve froze.

“Start merging the souls. Conduct the ceremony of inheriting the World Tree…”

The voice rose again. Then, a surge of innumerable particles started flying toward Eve’s body.

Eve felt many sources of great, mysterious power entering his body, transferring an enormous amount of information.

As the fusion process took place, Eve felt his senses becoming increasingly acute. The mystical prayers rose again in the space and became clear.

With the fusion of the photons, Eve’s consciousness also began to shine sacredly. Green, light energy merged incessantly until the whole space was engulfed…

At the last second, Eve heard the strange voice again:

“The fusion is successful.”

“Welcome back, the new World Tree in the land of Sagas–”

“Your Majesty, Eve Euktrahill.”

…

After regaining consciousness, Eve was lost in contemplation.
