Chương 122: Spirit King

Half a day later, Retsu Unohana returned to Seireitei with Richard. They never mentioned the sparring match again.

The gap is too large; there's no need for it.

At this moment, she looked at Richard as if he were a monster, unable to imagine how a person could be so strong.

Even the Seireitei Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and even the current Ichigo Kurosaki, are not this strong.

Even if she's not the best, she can still go toe-to-toe with them.

Could the Spirit King really be that strong? She couldn't help but ask herself.

After returning, Richard didn't go anywhere else; he stayed in the Fourth Division.

For him, it doesn't matter where he stays.

His purpose, in any case, was to observe the structure of this world and the Spirit King.

His divine sense was projected outwards, taking in the Soul Society, the real world, and Hueco Mundo.

Even the Spirit King Palace, hidden in a separate small space, did not escape his observation.

That fluctuation of divine consciousness went unnoticed by anyone in the entire world, including Retsu Unohana who was not far away, and the Spirit King who was being used as a human stick in the Spirit King Palace.

Therefore, the whole world is actually in a state of one-sided undefendedness for him.

He could clearly see the situation inside the Spirit King's Palace. A human stick was placed on the throne; this was the Spirit King.

Five bodyguards provide close protection; this is the mysterious Zero Division. Before the formation of the Gotei 13, the Zero Division was the core force protecting the Seireitei.

Although there are only five of them, these five people combined are even stronger than the entire Gotei 13.

Even the core technology of their Zanpakuto originated from one of them. It can be said that the entire Bleach system was built by these few people.

I imagine the Spirit King would be very touched to know that he has such high-level protection.

Richard had assumed that the Spirit King was, after all, a pillar of this world, and perhaps even the creator god. Surely, his strength couldn't be too weak.

Unexpectedly, the myriad realms are full of wonders, and he really is this incompetent.

In terms of aura, he's not much stronger than Ichigo Kurosaki right now.

Even at his peak, the Spirit King probably didn't have the power of a lower-level god.

That's so bad.

It definitely wasn't the creator god.

But he may be connected to the creator, and his power may even have come from that being.

Since it wasn't something they cultivated themselves, it's understandable that they're this bad.

This world is too small and could be corrupted by chaos at any time, so the one who left the Spirit King as the foundation of the world?

If the Spirit Lord leads the people of this world to work hard to develop it, it is possible to gradually strengthen this world.

Until the world expands to a certain size and can exist independently in the chaos, then the Spirit King will no longer be needed to support the existence of the entire world.

Unfortunately, that person did not expect that the Spirit King would be betrayed by the people of this world and imprisoned in the Spirit King Palace as a human stick.

Now the entire world can forget about development; everyone has to kneel down and beg the Spirit King not to die. And they also have to find a backup plan for the Spirit King.

It's likely that whether it was Aizen or Yhwach, even if they had succeeded in the end, they would have ended up being turned into miniature Soul King batteries.

Just like Ichigo Kurosaki now, although he has returned to being a happy high school student, if the Soul King can't hold on, his fate probably won't be good either.

After understanding what was going on with the Spirit King, Richard stopped paying attention to what was happening at the Spirit King's Palace.

Instead, they began to study the three-realm structure of this world.

When people die in the real world, they become souls and come to the Soul Society. When their souls also die, they become the most basic spiritual particles, which become the basic elements that make up this world.

Hueco Mundo is a dumping ground for negative emotions, which are then transformed into Hollows and various advanced forms, before being periodically eliminated by the Shinigami.

Even after death, it will become the most basic spiritual particles.

There is no such thing as reincarnation after death. Although one can become a spirit and go to the Soul Society, a spirit cannot be reincarnated.

Once the soul reaches the end of its lifespan, it dies completely.

Death, to put it simply, is a soul with even stronger spiritual power.

Therefore, these Grim Reapers can exist for far longer than ordinary souls.

Richard was somewhat disappointed. He had thought this world would have something related to reincarnation, since there was already a dedicated afterlife.

If that's the case, then this world doesn't mean much to him.

The connection between the real world and Soul Society is simply a passage established in the void, linking the two worlds.

This is not much different from him using the Tree of Life to connect the primary plane with the two secondary planes.

In terms of development potential, it's not even as good as his small world, since his small world can now stably generate the world's origin.

It can be released and exist independently in the chaos, without even needing a pillar like the Spirit King.

He came for the concept of reincarnation, using it to connect the two ends of life and death, constructing a traditional Eastern worldview: the human world, the underworld, and even a heavenly court if needed.

This will not only allow him to advance further in the Way of the World, but also help him comprehend the rules of life and death, and even gain considerable insights into the Way of Time and Space.

Even the path of reincarnation, taken out of context, is a top-tier path in all the heavens and myriad realms.

This matter concerns the future, so he cannot afford to be careless.

Unfortunately, the world was not as he had imagined.

The gains weren't entirely nonexistent, but they weren't as significant as I had imagined.

For example, the concept of Hueco Mundo as a trash can is quite good. It is used to hold negative trash and even has a simple purification mechanism.

Currently, there aren't many intelligent beings in his small world, so he doesn't need to consider this issue yet. However, he might have to consider it when he starts creating life or introducing intelligent species from outside.

Otherwise, if this negative content isn't cleaned up, it will accumulate and cause serious problems.

In the Douluo God Realm, there are also special divine positions like the Rakshasa God to contain this garbage.

Even in the primordial world, there is a garbage can called Guixu, isn't there?

As for the Panlong World, Richard doesn't know how the Hongmeng master designed it, or whether he considered this issue.

Perhaps this person didn't really care; since he had nothing better to do, he just cleaned it up manually.

But don't rush, if we haven't gained anything from this world, there's still the world of fox spirits.

The concept of reincarnation has been explicitly mentioned in this world.

The reincarnation of the Bitter Love Tree, and the third young master of Aolai Kingdom who emerged from the underworld.

But Richard was somewhat unwilling to leave like this; he had already come all this way.

So he used his time travel ability to try and see what happened when this world was first created.

The entire history of the world appeared before him in a backward manner.

One year, two years, ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years.

He quickly retreated to the beginning of creation, where he met the creator of this world.

This world is surprisingly young, only a few thousand years old.

The creator was probably someone with great fortune. Richard thought that the creator's strength at that time was not strong, and was even weaker than Richard's own now.

Such strength is insufficient to walk in the Chaos Sea.

It probably possesses some kind of supreme treasure capable of transcending countless worlds.

I wonder how far this person has grown up to now.

It seems that this person's path is also the path of the world. It is estimated that this world was just created casually to verify what he has learned, and the craftsmanship is a bit rough.

The energy and resources used to create the world all came from this being. In the chaos, if you want to create a world but don't have the ability to transform the chaotic energy, this is the only way.

It must have been quite taxing; Richard was amused to see how exhausted this guy was. He probably never imagined someone would be so bored as to go back in time to look at his embarrassing past.

At this moment, Retsu Unohana, who was handling the daily affairs of the Fourth Division, was filled with questions.

Kotetsu Isane, who came to report on his work, even stopped speaking. Was there something wrong with his report?

Why did the captain's distinguished guest laugh?

His subordinates had no idea where their captain, who rarely went out and socialized, had suddenly become a friend, so they refrained from asking questions they shouldn't.

This distinguished guest visited once a few years ago, but disappeared suddenly after a short stay, which was very mysterious.

Now that he has reappeared, it's unclear how this distinguished guest managed to get in and out.

The Seireitei's defenses are actually very strict, but this person appeared and disappeared without a sound.

This person's abilities are indeed extraordinary, but they don't seem to be a Shinigami or anything like that. They don't have a Zanpakuto, and their spiritual pressure is not even perceptible.

This really piqued the curiosity of all the members of the Fourth Division, including Kotetsu Isane.

If it weren't for the fact that his relationship with the captain seemed unusual, he would have been taken out for questioning long ago.

Even the captain-in-chief is probably very curious, right?

Unfortunately, it's impossible to get an explanation from the captain. He had asked the captain about it several years ago after his first visit, but received no answer.

Richard could feel the two men staring at him.

When he came to his senses, he saw the two of them staring at him.

He was too impatient, and couldn't help but rewind time here.

We should wait until Retsu Unohana arranges accommodation for him before discussing this further.

So all he could do was smile at the two of them.

He explained, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something funny, you guys continue."

The two turned around and continued their daily work.

Richard decided not to continue reading; he figured he could just read it later.

After finishing her daily tasks, Unohana Retsu took Richard to a guest room and told him to rest first.

After Retsu Unohana left, Richard continued to travel back in time to see the creation of the world by this unknown deity.

As he looked at it, he compared it to his own past. Back then, he had already gained a great advantage by directly obtaining an initial small space with the ability of the Rinnegan.

Then, the infinite supply of divine power from the ocean of divine power expanded it into a small world.

In comparison, he has expanded his small world to this extent without using many resources.

Compared to that, I'm actually quite happy.

However, seeing the complete process of this person creating the world, and how different the methods of creating the world are the same, was quite inspiring for him.

In particular, this person truly built a complete world from scratch. Even though the world he built was somewhat rough, it was no less of an opportunity for Richard than that of the Tree Power Child.

That's what makes the trip worthwhile; it wasn't a waste of money.

After that, Richard did not stay in this world for long, and took his leave after a few days.

She even invited Retsu Unohana to travel to other worlds with her.

Unfortunately, Retsu Unohana has not yet found a successor and cannot leave Seireitei for the time being.
