When mortals die, they go to heaven. If you believe their religions, they also go to hell, or they are reincarnated.

What do you believe happens to gods and shinki when they die?

Obviously, they get replaced and transplanted with people from other worlds.

[rev13_3]

That is what happens to their job posting. I want to know what you think happens to THEM.

[eternalshield]

Oh. You weren't specific.

Maybe they switch places with us, and the real Hebe is in Zeno's world, eating Zeno's food.

[rev13_3]

Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?

I cannot say. I like to believe those who are good and deserving go to paradise and those that do nothing but malicious acts that make the lives of others harder go elsewhere. Now that I am a god, I wish I had better answers, but I do not.

Why do you ask?

[rev13_3]

I have heard many theories about where the new gods and shinki go when they vanish. But gods do not just vanish. Sometimes gods die.

If we are truly the spirits of the dead, then could a dead god come back as another dead god, infinitely?

[dominatriarch]

Once, when a god died, whether they returned would depend on how many remembered their name. If they were prayed to, they could return past the point of death but if they didn't, that was it. We are reincarnated into the body of a child with no memories of our previous self and only our shinki to remember for us.

It seems the newcomers are subjected to different rules.

[rev13_3]

So Amaterasu was able to return because she had enough worshipers?

[dominatriarch]

That is usually the case. Given who she is, her reincarnation is a guarantee. If that was the case now, I can't say for certain.

[rev13_3]

For those gods with insufficient worshipers, you said 'that was it'. What do you think happened to those gods?

I'd assume it depends on our actions here.

[rev13_3]

In what way? Please be specific.

[latentforlife]

No.

I've already died here and came back without my memories. Do you really think morality has anything to do with that?

[rev13_3]

How did you die? How long were you dead? If you have no memories, how do you know you were here previously? Perhaps those who told you this were lying to you.

[disciplineking]

I said I lost my memory, idiot. I know because I remember someone when I was here before. And that particular person wouldn't lie about what happened.

But really, your conspiracy theory is entertaining.

Gods and shinki can die?

[rev13_3]

We die as easily as mortal humans do.

[madcuriosity]

Oh... I didn't... know that. I suppose... everything must die, even gods.

From: Hekate

[dreamprotector]

When we die, all our hearts go to the same place. I haven't been here long yet but I don't think gods and shinki are any different in that.

[rev13_3]

So you believe that if a god died here, they would be reborn here as a new god?

[dreamprotector]

I don't know what would happen… What I meant was that I don't think that it matters what kind of being we are when we die.

In death everyone is the same.

I think that's when I'm supposed to come in. Purgatory or something.

[rev13_3]

Explain yourself.

[royaltyloyalty]

That's what Ksitigarbha's supposed to be about - retrieving lost souls from hell and purgatory and helping them become enlightened, or close enough to that. Kid or adult, human or nonhuman. Everybody.
