Ma Lin had watched the rebirth ceremonies of the Sand Dog cult multiple times.
From one perspective, these ceremonies were utterly horrifying.
From another perspective, they were filled with warmth and remarkably moving.
A person who had died and turned into bones could now be reborn into this world.
It was both terrifying and touching.
Those who were reborn appeared as adults, ranging randomly from youth to middle-aged.
They retained some memories from before but rarely spoke about them openly.
One writer obliquely depicted his feelings after being reborn.
This new world seemed extremely strange to him, all its sights filled him with curiosity, yet it wasn't more strange than death.
He remembered how he died a hundred years ago, and still retained a trace of regret.
He felt as though his entire life was dedicated to finding ways to make up for that regret.
Most people remembered nothing after rebirth.
But some did.
