Chapter 350: History of the Corpse Soul Realm!
A seismic change? Hearing this, Lin Daoyuan and the others, who were gradually immersed in the story told by Urahara, suddenly became nervous. It's time for the big show!
As if sensing everyone's nervousness, Urahara looked a little proud. Gently flapping the folding fan in your hand that you don't know when you took it out.
Looks like my storytelling skills are still pretty good!
Thinking of what he was going to talk about next, Urahara's face suddenly became solemn. Even the voice is a little heavy.
"As I said before, the lifespan of human souls in the corpse soul realm is very long. Not counting spirits with a lifespan of more than 1,000 years, even ordinary humans can easily live for hundreds of years! And after hundreds of thousands of years of reproduction and development, the number of human souls is increasing! ”
Looking at Lin Daoyuan and the others with a sudden look on their faces, Urahara nodded affirmatively.
"That's right, it's just as you think. The world needs balance in order to develop steadily. And the drastic increase in the souls of the corpse soul realm affects the balance of the world, if nothing is changed. In this world, it will collide with the Corpse Soul Realm! When the time comes, the whole world will be destroyed! ”
However, the spirit of that time could not be like the Grim Reaper today. Send the soul into samsara and return to the present world. ”
Urahara's expression became extremely serious, and his tone became even heavier. Just by speaking, you can feel the same cold emotion as the sharp eyes!
"I want to maintain the balance of my soul. There is only one thing those spirits can do. Erase the superfluous human soul until the world is stable! ”
"Erase ...... Mankind?! Ichigo repeated incredulously. After understanding the meaning, he immediately shouted angrily: "How can they do this! Those human beings are innocent! Destroy life like a toy! This is the Grim Reaper?! ”
"Those spirits were the predecessors of death, but they are not the gods of death! Although it sounds like an excuse. But it's true. The duty of our Grim Reaper. It's just about maintaining the balance of the world. ”
"What's more......" Urahara stared at Ichigo without blinking. Said calmly: "Except for this method. What else can you do? Mercy to let them continue to exist, and then let the whole world be destroyed together? ”
calmly glanced at Ichigo, who wanted to say something, but had nothing to refute. Urahara then continued.
In this emergency situation, the haughty spirit immediately began to slay the soul without hesitation. But that's when they discovered a shocking fact. In the process of slashing a large number of human souls, the body unconsciously absorbs the energy that escapes from those souls. And after absorbing this energy, the strength will be improved! ”
"In the face of this kind of good thing that saves the world and strengthens at the same time. Countless spirits were excited. More actively rush to hunt souls! Let's call them devourers. ”
"But there are also many visionaries who foresee the great danger in the shadows: the spirits behind the complete abandonment of the bottom line will inevitably be greeted by the path of self-destruction!"
"Where there are people, there will be fighting. Most of the Devourers, after their strength increased, were dissatisfied with the current Spirit King's rule and wanted to replace him. And the group of people who were loyal to the Spirit King naturally would not agree. Define them as royalists. ”
However, this kind of thing will inevitably damage the overall strength of the spirit. Former companions draw their swords against each other, and this is not a casual choice. The contradiction between the Devourer and the Royalist Party is becoming more and more acute, and it is almost irreconcilable! ”
"From this. Neutralists who wanted to settle disputes by other means arose. In the neutral group, the majority of far-sighted people are concentrated. ”
"Eventually. The inevitable outbreak of the Great War! After absorbing a large amount of soul power, the Devourer's strength has increased tremendously. For a time, the royalists were defeated and retreated! ”
In desperation, the Spirit King had no choice but to put down his noble reserve and lead the Royalist Party to also begin to absorb souls and improve their strength! Finally, with the covert help of the neutrals, they turned defeat into victory and temporarily expelled those devourers to another dimension! This is what is now called the imaginary circle! ”
Hearing this, Lin Daoyuan raised his eyebrows. said softly: "Since it is temporary, then the big war will start again!" ”
"Of course. How could those devourers who had been bewitched by powerful forces be willing to accept their own defeat! Not only the Corpse Soul Realm, but even the present world has become their hunting ground! In order to ensure their advantage, the royalists had to speed up the absorption of souls! ”
"Under the fighting between the two sides, countless souls were killed. The number of souls that disappear is not in hundreds, but in thousands. Rather, it's calculated in tens of millions! In the hundred years of that bloody war, the number of souls that disappeared as a result was hundreds of millions! ”
Hearing this, even Lin Daoyuan couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Hundreds of millions of human souls just disappeared?! Just when Lin Daoyuan's heart was shocked, Urahara's story continued.
"In this great war that spans a hundred years, the battles of various periods have won and lost each other. Great damage was done to both sides. Since then, the Void Circle has become dilapidated, and the Corpse Soul Realm has also suffered a great loss of vitality, and it is no longer as prosperous as before. In the end, the Spirit King at that time led his subordinates to pursue until the Void Circle, and after killing the leader of the Devourers. This battle has just come to an end! ”
"But the royalists who have returned from victory have not yet enjoyed the joy of victory. I found that my form was gradually changing. The complexion is pale, the appearance is hideous like a demon, and a hollow suddenly appears on the body, and endless killing** emerges! It's as if the hollowness in the body affects the mind, and the emptiness in the heart can never be filled! The first void was born! ”
"At this moment, the spirit of the neutral faction turned into a virtual sudden killer against these, killing all the way to the spirit king at that time!"
Faced with the spirit king who questioned sharply, the leader of the neutral faction explained. Why did they only help secretly for more than 100 years? It's because I've found a way to resolve the dispute and I've been preparing for it! ”
"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the wise First Spirit King had anticipated this. Left a workaround. Through the secret method, all the extra souls in the corpse soul realm are absorbed, forming a wedge connecting the corpse soul realm and the present world. In this way, not only can the number of souls be reduced, but also the civil war of the spirits can be avoided. It can also strengthen the stability of the two worlds, killing two birds with one stone! ”
"It's a pity that the first Spirit King miscalculated two things. One thing, that is, the number of souls! The extra souls in the Corpse Soul Realm were far beyond the imagination of the first Spirit King who lived a tribal life at that time! The other is the appearance of the imaginary circle! The frequent battles between the two sides over the past hundred years have gradually eroded the gap between the Void Circle, the Present World, and the Corpse Soul Realm! ”
"The number of souls is beyond the effect of the secret method left by the Spirit King. As a last resort, the neutrals can only spend time slowly absorbing the soul! During this time, I can only watch my former companions kill each other! ”
"And the barrier between the Three Realms has gradually weakened, making the wedge that was originally only used to connect the Corpse Soul Realm and the present world. Transform into Connecting the Three Realms! At this time, the war in the outside world was nearing its end. There are countless dead souls. At this time, what's the point of even if the wedge is completed? ”
At the same time, another change is quietly happening. In the course of a hundred years, countless souls, devourers, royalists, and even the souls of some neutrals have died. All of them are absorbed by the wedges that are gradually taking shape! was also absorbed, as well as the sky-high resentment emitted by the tragic death of hundreds of millions of souls! ”
"I don't know if it's a curse, or if the residual resentment resonates with the power in the wedge. Or maybe the world has changed after the Three Realms were connected. In short, anyone who has absorbed a large amount of soul power has been forcibly transformed into a void! The royalists, who also devour souls, are no exception! ”
"These spirits who have fallen into nothingness, even if they have reason. It will also be tortured by the emptiness of the heart, and involuntarily prey on the soul, especially a soul as powerful as the spirit! ”
"The first to undergo this change was the Devourer in the Void Circle. However, most of them had been wiped out by the perceived neutrals, leaving only the remnants of the army to roam the ruined void circle. And now, it's time for the royalists to come to an end! ”
"In the end, after a great battle, the current Spirit King, who was the most powerful at the time, was also killed. Only he, who is the strongest, can stabilize the world as a wedge. ”
"Although the Spirit King is dead, he is afraid that he will resurrect under the power of the wedge. The neutral faction scattered the body parts of the Spirit King and sealed them in various places. The body, which is the core, is tightly sealed and guarded. ”
"After a succession of battles with the Devourers and the Royalists, the Centrist also suffered heavy casualties. In order to cover up this dishonorable experience, they falsified history. The wedge of the seal is called the spirit king who created the world, and he calls himself a royal family to recuperate. ”
"Whew! ~" Urahara exhaled heavily, as if to exclude the heaviness of his heart that was rendered by history. Then he smiled briskly.
"I don't need to say much about the rest. In order to prevent this tragedy from happening again, the spirit found a way to extradite the soul. From then on, he served as the balancer in the Three Realms, sending the soul to the place where it should go. ”
"In order to say goodbye to the past, they define themselves as the Grim Reaper. The world's stable balancer! Under the influence of the wedge, the human soul will remain in this world for a long time after death, and it will degenerate into nothingness. ”
"That's how the world is made today." Urahara looked at Lin Daoyuan's location and asked softly, "It's also what I know, all the things about the Spirit King." Are you still satisfied, Mr. Lin? ”
"Satisfied? Naturally quite satisfied! Lin Daoyuan immediately replied in the affirmative.
The clues are becoming clear. There's definitely something wrong with that wise and powerful first Spirit King! At this time, Lin Daoyuan's first reaction after knowing these things! The intuition in his heart clearly told him that it was this guy who was secretly peeping at him!
Now that he knows the answer, Lin Daoyuan also keeps his promise. Immediately dodged to Ichigo's side and said in a deep voice, "Ichigo, Yuhabach's ability is a greater threat to you. You go deal with the indigo, and he'll leave it to me!" ”
Hearing this, Aizen shook his head disdainfully and mocked: "Although I was looking forward to the growth of Kurosaki Ichigo at the beginning, I was in front of me who had completely merged with Honyu. Solving him is just a casual thing. Anyway, Ichigo Kurosaki is of no use to me today. It will wipe you out with all the failings in you. ”
Ichigo didn't respond to this, his eyes fixed on Aizen. His eyes were full of determination and determination!
And Lin Daoyuan confronted the silent friend Habach. The big war is on the verge of breaking out! (To be continued.) )
