[Xie Lian is ready for another infusion of power if one should prove necessary, but it seems his little boost was somehow contagious and the ghosts are rousing each other now. Just as well.]

This world is very different from what I am used to. Gods, demons, ghosts, where I come from they all stem from human souls. What they go through and how they go from one state to another can vary and take more or less time, but they were all human once. Well, except the once like nature spirits, who are more absorbing energy around them and become sentient, but otherwise... You would never see something like that.

[He gnaws on his finger for a moment as in deep in thought.]

The soldiers above, they are undead, called back from their rest. these things... the Motherless... are they 'unborn'? Sort of the opposite? If that's the case, why would an undead lord want to get them out?

I have to guess they wouldn't attack his troops, so he must want to use them but he'd have to be able to control them first.
