I'm not really interested in the anime itself because I assume they will end up butchering the story as they adapt it but I have always had a question that has popped up for like 20 years whenever I think of this story, so here goes.

What happens to humans after they die in this worlds mythology? I don't believe they persist in another form like... Sennin and similar elevated entities, correct?(Which I think only happened because of Fuuki's plan, anyway) Would they just face annihilation or be reborn given the cyclical nature of their world?

I don't remember the character's names entirely but I think Kashi was her name... we barely knew her but I remember that scene really well after all those years. She was a valiant character with a strong personality to act like she did given the untenable situation. You really felt her pride as a wife and desire to protect her family from what would have come. Fucking tragic.

Yet it's probably the only thing that I feel like was never resolved entirely for me since barely any mention of her or humans in general are made later on in the series even though we see Kouhiko in... spirit form or whatever as a result of fuuki's houshinden gambit.

Maybe I'm forgetting some hint or maybe the author indicated something somewhere?

All human being when die will just became souls and depend on their karma will be reborn, become immortal beings or go to hell and receive punishment.
This is what I assume based on my knowledge about Chinese religion and the Fengshen Yanyi which Houshin engi was based on.
