Lilly was stumped by this question.
"Ancestor, I still can't think clearly about your question… I'll answer you after I think it through," Lilly said.
The ancestor sighed helplessly, both of them were so naive and he could not figure them out.
He touched Lilly's head kindly and said, "Well, I hope you can figure this out, because if you want to do something, you must understand why you are doing it."
"Even if it’s not clear at the beginning, you will have to face this problem in the end."
Now he was just an ordinary ghost cultivator, and he was not very thoroughly enlightened. He just looked back on his own life and the lives of others from the perspective of an old man, and thought that things should be like this.
Lilly looked at him and asked, "My ancestor, who are you? I always feel that you know too much."
The ancestor was amused by her and said, "I am just an ordinary ghost cultivator!"
Lilly had an "I don't believe it" expression on her face.
The ancestor said, "Hey, that's too far off. Regarding Uncle Cloud's matter, you should listen to me and try to persuade him again!"
He sighed, "I don't have any reason in particular, but I still think it would be better for him to be reincarnated. Reincarnating into the human world should be less painful..."
Lilly suddenly said, "Ancestor, how do you know that it will not be painful to be reincarnated into the human world? There are all kinds of life, and every human being will have to go through four kinds of suffering."
The suffering of could not let go, could not bear it, could not see through, and could not get it.
"Also, ancestor, there is one thing that you are wrong about. I don't think reincarnation is the simplest way to live forever."
The ancestor never thought of discussing this with such a little kid, but when she said this, he was very interested.
"Why not? If a soul reincarnates in life after life, the underworld will not disappear, and the soul will never perish. Isn't that eternal life?"
Lilly asked, "Ancestor, what is the most important thing in our lives?"
The ancestor was stunned and said, "What?"
Lilly said, "It is the memory and love we carry. If we don't remember anything in reincarnation, the inheritance in us will be gone. So what is eternal life?"
The ancestor, "..."
He was speechless.
Lilly in turn touched the ancestor's head, "However, you are fine! I will accompany you to persuade Uncle Cloud."
The ancestor stared at Lilly's floating little feet and her dancing skirt, he did not know to cry or laugh.
The little girl actually floated up and touched his head. Sure enough, she still smelled like a girl. She was so cute. Why did he find her so adorable?
Lilly was whispering in his ear, "This is how we advise Uncle Cloud..."
In the end, Lilly also forgot that she had agreed with Uncle Cloud's decision.
The eyes of the old man and the young lady were bright, and they nodded to each other, "Yes! That's it!"
Cloud looked at the two of them and murmured for a long time, waiting patiently with a gentle smile in his eyes.
He looked up at the sky in the underworld again. Although he could no longer see the bright sunshine in the mortal world, there was a different scenery here.
"Uncle Cloud! Let's go!" Lilly suddenly ran over, took his hand and left.
Cloud followed him and asked with a warm smile as he walked, "Where are we going?"
