"Some infants die with their mothers before they are born and do not qualify for reincarnation. If they can stay long enough in a place with abundant yin energy, with someone connected by blood, namely the child's father, and absorb his essence, over time, the father would die, and the child would remain."
The child would then be eligible for reincarnation, while the father would become a Soul of Chaos, wandering the realms without drinking Spicy Soup or crossing the Naihe Bridge.
