As you can clearly see, Daimao fires his mouth blast at Shenlon, which causes him to explode. It even results in his severed arm falling to the ground before fading away.

Shenlon is, in essence, a simulacrum of the statue, and the statue's fate is tied with Shenlon. Once he was destroyed, it broke, so when Kami restored Shenlon again, the statue became whole again as a result.

Nah, you got it backwards. Popo fixed the statue with super glue, and then Kami restored Shenron. He "breathed life into the statue," whatever that means.

You got it reversed. The shenron statue is fixed first by popo so kami is able to summon shenron.

When Shenron dies, he goes to HFIL.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

I stand corrected on that part, but it, in the end, still results in the same thing. Shenlon is essentially a simulacrum of the statue. If he's destroyed, then the statue is destroyed, and for him to be resurrected, the statue must be made whole. He needs both the Namekian tied to him and the statue in order to exist, with the Namekian being the life force he and the Dragon Balls are tied to, and the statue being his physical form.

Oh, I agree. I was just correcting the part you got backwards.

He doesn't summon anything. He gives life to the statue as stated in the manga. If the statue was of a different kind of dragon, Shenlong would be that dragon, not the dragon we know.

It's not that simple because dragon god for a mere creation from random namekian can override any authority of any god and has 1000 X stronger than any god of creation power and has the knowledge of the oldest creature ever existed for a newborn creature and even surpassed the knowledge of any divine being at any level. kami in the manga is depicted can create any life or reviving it though it's become ambiguous because Piccolo has no power resemble how kami can create and fix any life using a simple statue.
@kamicollo
in the manga is 'depicted' that kami can create life and revive anyone
