"This matter is rather complex, as it hails from long ago; it's too prolix to speak of," muttered Gouzi, too indolent to bother even with breathing.
"I recall you once mentioned something about The Peaceful Realms," Lin Suqing reflected on a past memory, awakening by the Spiritual Spring, then on their route to Pingyuan Temple, where Gouzi spoke of such matters. "Both human and demon, once deceased, all return to The Peaceful Realms. Thus, mortals reside in the mortal realm; demons, in the Demoniac Realm; and ghosts, in The Peaceful Realms."
"Mmm, correct, that's how it is," Gouzi nodded with closed eyes, affirming this.
Lin Suqing continued to expound, "The mortal realm and The Peaceful Realms are subservient to the Celestial Realm and are governed by it."
"Mmm, yes, correct," Gouzi agreed.
