Is the Jinsei Earth's Life Force or it's Raiden's Godly Essence as Protector of Earthrealm?

Either way, the corruption of the Jinsei may cause Raiden to go evil. What do you think?

SOAD trailer shows Shinnok facing the Jinsei, then the story trailer shows that big red explosion. Maybe he uses the energy to enhance his powers, to strike the heavens, and hopefully transforms into his Monster Form. Based on spelling, "Jinsei" can translate to "Life", "This World", "Human Nature", "Instinct", and "Benevolent Administration" in Japanese.

Therefore, I'm inclined to belief the "Earth's Life Force" explanation as stated in the Chapter 1 story preview.
