At the End of a Mayfly's Life

Is Daxie dead or not ( ??? ? ??? )

I can't understand (#-.-) But

I didn't understand the ending a little bit. After reading it twice, I preferred that Wu Xie was actually dead. At least he and Zhang Qiling had no regrets. It was a very poetic way to die. However, considering the setting of this world, if the soul is stranded in the world, it is like being in a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire. It is very painful. If Wu Xie is already a ghost, it is impossible for him not to know it. He lives alone in the world, even if he is free and easy, he is too lonely.

Could this last sentence actually imply that Wu Xie was already dead?
