"If an outsider soul is to meet the definition of new life, must it either abandon everything and be reborn, or have no past to begin with?"
Shade pondered this, while the old man nodded with certainty.
"Other than those two possibilities, even if an outsider soul enters a brand-new body, it still cannot be considered the birth of a new life."
Shade felt that he had thought of something quite important. According to Old Mr. Finch, he knew of an example that fit the criteria—an "outsider soul entering a brand-new shell yet still counting as the birth of new life."

"She" seemed to hesitate, while Shade asked inwardly with some excitement:
"You agree that she is new life, and that she might become the 'Son of the End,' right? Lady Helena Carter!"
[.Yes.]
"Although her soul originally belonged to the 'Moon Spellcaster,' that soul had already been transformed into a tree in essence by the Time Curse while she was alive. After her death, she first became a tree, then transferred from the tree into the Moon Egg. Daniste and I even worried that she might lose most of her memories.
"She has already died once. Everything from her past can never be recovered. In essence, even if she is not a Dragon, she can only be considered a tree. She is absolutely no longer human."
This made Shade think of Black Sand Dock again. Those souls sent far away by the [God of the Ferryman] had also begun entirely new second lives, though their "deaths" had not been as complete as Lady Carter's.
This way, Luvia's speculation was actually possible. If the Moon Egg could hatch through this opportunity, then Lady Helena Carter would also meet the requirements of the Son of the End.
