How to interpret the blank space at the end of Ready Player One about what kind of existence Elidi's consciousness is?

Until the end of the movie, I thought there would be a scene at the end: Halliday is not dead, Wade found him. . . Every character in the oasis corresponds to a real person in reality. Existing in the oasis through VR, Halliday's consciousness may be the connection of Halliday's real existence. He is not dead, but just tired of virtuality. The oasis he designed, when he needed to appear, he appeared in the oasis, when not needed, of course, in a corner of the real world, living a comfortable life.

Ready Player One quotes

  • Parzival: Aech, are you seeing this?

    [turns right towards her]

    Aech: Yeah, I see it. That's Kaneda's bike from Akira.

    [holds up the scope and looks down]

    Aech: It's a licensed skin over a standard frame.

    Parzival: [panicking] No, not the bike! Forget the bike! The girl, I think it's Art3mis!

    Aech: The Art3mis? The Sixer Fixer?

    Parzival: I've seen all her walk-throughs, her Twitch streams.

    [smiles]

    Parzival: It's her. It's definitely her.

  • Aech: Yo, Z, is Art3mis pissed at me?

    Parzival: Dude, I'm pissed at you! You've never seen The Shining, have you?

    Aech: [complaining] YOU KNOW I HATE SCARY MOVIES!

    Sho: We got the key!

    [tosses the key to him]

    Parzival: Sweet! To room 237!

    Aech: We ain't got no business goin' to room 237! WE SHOULD STAY OUT! Plus, there was this crazy, naked zombie lady in there.

    Parzival: There are no zombies The Shining!

    Art3mis: Well, maybe it's not supposed to be LIKE the movie. Kira is the key. You're the one who said it.

    Aech: Hey, y'all. I saw a picture of Kira!

    Art3mis: Huh?

    [they got knocked out]

    Art3mis: [straining] Where?
