Entering the new path that created itself. Shenzi strolls in like taking a midnight walk through the park. With every breath, there is a strong sense of life and death. One side is the doctor operating to save a life, the other a black market doctor operating to gain from one's death.
However, who said just because you are living that you are alive? What if it was all but a fragment of the past your soul plays to tell you your alive? Why is it once the body stops functioning one is considered dead? What does it mean to be dead? One had given up, so his body failed to have a reason to fight?
Death is just like entering deep sleep. The thought process slows to an all-time low, and the organs operate on the "power saving mode." Your not truly dead until you have lost hope.
With the weight of his earth, the lives of his countless fellow humans on his shoulders. Travelling upon this path, Shenzi had experienced many things and what seemed like multiple millenniums. He had watched trees flourishing with life, and then only seconds later to watch them wither into fine ash drifting along the sea of time.
Shenzi had watched tens of civilizations grow up from nothing but a seed germinating. With the right amount of water and sun, empires were built upon the sweat, blood, and tears of its people.
Life flourished, but there was one thing common upon each millennium and its kingdom. Death is the shadow creeping up on life, inevitable but that does not mean everyone complained about why he or she deserves this and that.
Death is inevitable no matter what the outcome is. However, that does not mean we should fear it either.
Instead, we should look upon it as a parting gift to those we cherish. In the worlds where demons have enslaved humans and various other races, death is a blessing hidden in disguise.
We may cry over the precious lives lost. However, they will not have to watch a paradise, become the paradise lost. No more anger and hatred no more wars and un-needed bloodshed.

Each step taken is thousands of years, every step he takes his life is cut short only to rekindle repeatedly. Entering a mystical trance of life became death, and death became life.
When one door closed, the other door would open up. Shenzi's comprehension of life and death skyrocketed to ridiculous heights. After his 450,000th death, Shenzi had this insane idea.
Everything that he had experienced up till now. Still vastly different compared to those old perverts. Shenzi had come to realize everything in life is a Domain. Love, hate, sadness, killing, life, death, nature, space, time and so forth.
Life and Death support each other just like Water and Fire. Shenzi rotates on his left side life and his right side death. One second Shenzi was thriving with a life force beyond what he should currently have, and in the next second if someone sensed him, he would be concluded as dead and non-existent.
In the eyes of multiple experts, explaining life is in various forms such as reaching happiness, family, revenge, love, exploration, treasure, wealth, and so forth.
Death on the other hand much harder to explain but all have come to agree. Your body may die yet if there is a treasure you used the most. For example a Sword Experts Sword, or Spear Expert, Sabre Expert and so on. The soul and life essence combine with their weapon, thus becoming a Life Relic.
Thus death is also the gateway to second chances. Alternatively, in the infrequent event. One can become a sentient weapon, but with hundreds of thousands of years, they can eventually once again regain a physical body.
Feeling the multitude of changes Shenzi is still not satisfied. Although he could very quickly form a dual Domain of Life and Death, with his lack of life and death fights, creating the Domain now would be equivalent to having a charger but no plugs.
Shenzi's concept of Life and Death is simple. With life, you have all of its beauty the elegance and the heartwarming sceneries, experiences and so forth.
In death, you have the darkness, the dread, failure, hopelessness, and powerless. However, without embracing death and accepting it as a natural thing. You will die fighting it before you achieve your original lifelong goals.
700,000, 950,000 1,125,000, 1,475,200 With every death and life that he goes through, the hardest part to the second challenge of the Emperors Trial increases more and more.
Each time you die the memories of that life pass on into your new life. Very quickly many of the candidates die, losing their sense of self and no longer knowing what their reason for life is.
Some enter privileged and die due to being kept safe thus not having built up a foundation for Life and Death. Others die due to pride, lack of self-confidence and so forth. Some die from the Dao Rupture, losing their path or their conviction of Life and Death change and they die due to it.
