Your wildest theories about AoS(part 2)

So, the queen is the real Danju/mainest villain and is of Choi family that was slighted by Songrim and its founder and her grand plan is to eliminate Songrim? Were Choi family those who spread soul shifting chaos during those massacres 200 years ago? I'm sensing some big shit gonna go down in the end, like in those distant past scenes.
Also, she has the Ice Stone which she stole some time earlier and makes more soul ejectors. What's up with Mu-Deok then? Does she have a part of the Ice Stone inside of her or is it something else with her? I don't think Naksu has to worry about being petrified for now, but that only hangs on her staying in that body.

 Fujihara Tomomi:

I think So Yi, a pickpocket girl from Mu Deok's Village will appear soon as well since Heo Yun-ok is here.

I forgot all about So Yi - but her appearance is another reason why I don't Mu-deok is some sort of empty vessel that just happened to be standing around in that tavern at the moment Naksu knocked her over.  

 Fujihara Tomomi:

So far, only Master Lee knows about her being an Ice Stone, right?

I totally missed anything about Master Lee knowing that Mu-deok is the Ice Stone (or even part of an Ice Stone).  Can you point me in the right direction?  It is still easier for me to believe/comprehend two souls residing in Mu-deok's body than the Ice Stone, empty vessel, reincarnation.  

OMG so many things happened in today's episode! Our theories must be revised!

There's an overwhelming amount of posts here, I'll read them later. I want to share what I think now that we know the queen is the real Danju. 

I think Jin Mu and the queen robbed the ice stone from Buyeon and discarded her body. Fortunately, the girl survived and some commoners raised her.  

P.S.: We have confirmation that the mage that performed the rain dance was Jinyowon's leader!!! So the ice stone was under their custody. We still don't know why Buyeon had the ice stone, but I bet Jin Mu stole it from her and got rid of her after.

Well, the description said Mu Deok saved So Yi so yeah... Since we already confirmed she's blind, then she can still "see" with her sense to be able to save a pickpocket girl. So yi is looking for My Deok? Why? Why is she looking for her now instead of when she was first sold to the Gibang? Does she have an alternate motive in mind? Either way she is gonna be used by Jin Mu and found herself in a big trouble. *sigh* I hope Mu Deok's memories can access through Naksu when that time comes or even sooner than that. Only God knows what Mu Deok did back in her village. ?

I don't think My Deok is an empty vessel. Why would an empty vessel has emotions? She screamed from pain when Naksu pushed her, and looked confused too. She smiled when she saved Jang Uk in the soul realm. She saved So Yi from a potential crime punishment. Therefore, she does have a personality of her own. We just don't get to know about her enough. She just happened to the vessel of the Ice Stone. That doesn't deny the fact that she is also a human. Her existence is a mystery from the start, now we got more questions to answer lol ??

That's a nice theory, you got there. But if they took it from her, why the relics and Master Lee were able

to know that she is the Ice Stone? If it's taken away from her, why was she able to pull Jang Uk from the Soul Realm?

My problem is where do they enter when they soul shift? The watery galaxy like thing? And why did Mu Deok's soul was there? Is she stuck in that galaxy kind of thing? 

Or when the soul shifter performed alchemy of souls, Mu Deok was holding Jung Uk. Did both of their souls enter into the galaxy thing? 

Then where was Naksu's soul?

Did Naksu's and Mu Deok's souls got combined? And Naksu's soul is not there?

Or are they still split? Because Mu Deok's soul entered the galaxy thing while Mu Deok's body was controlled by Naksu's soul.

And ice stone. What exactly is it? Can it be a person itself? How did it end up inside Mu Deok? 

Was she able to save Jang Uk because she had the power of ice stone?

This is going crazy at this point. I really want to know the answers Hong sisters.

 Conservative_Torch:

Then why does Jin Mu promises his half sister to bring back Bu Yeon if he killed her?

Maybe He didn't kill her, he might just took the Ice Stone and leave her in a faraway village. Maybe he still consider her as his niece?

Maybe it's because the Alchemy of Souls is casted near an Ice Stone, that's why Mu Deok's soul was able to enter the Soul Realm freely. Mu Deok is the bearer of the Ice Stone, so she has the power over it and got into the Soul Realm instead of Naksu. Therefore, she was able to pull Jang Uk out of the Soul Realm.

As Master Lee said there's only one Ice Stone left, either it is inside Mu Deok's body or it's in the possession of the Queen/Danju. If two people have it, then the stone might have been split into two pieces. 

I went back and rewatched the first episode and it looks like Naksu hadn’t mastered Hwansu because she needed a soul ejector orb to swap. The question is how she knew to do it and if she’d done it before. Since she hasn’t run wild then I do think I believe that some or all of ice stone is in Mu Deok for some reason. Just not sure how.

Jin Mu gave the soul ejector to her in case she failed the mission. He doesn't care if she would run wild afterward.
