Returning to the Soul King Palace, looking at Xia Mu beside him, and glancing at Nimeiwu Wangyue not far away, Ichigo was at a loss for a moment. Finally, he chose to ask Xia Mu, who he was more familiar with, "Teacher, what is going on?"

Xia Mu explained to Ichigo: "The Soul King Palace is isolated from the outside world. It is difficult for outsiders to come here. Similarly, it is difficult for people here to go down. I am sure you know this. It is not an easy task to return the Tenju Chariot."

Ichigo thought about how they came to the Soul King Palace and nodded slightly.

It is indeed not easy.

He had no idea how the Tianzhu Chariot went down, but he knew very well how it came up.

Xia Mu continued, "So, in order to facilitate communication between the members of Squad Zero and the people in the lower realm, there is a special gate here. It is called the Trans-Realm Gate. Unlike the normal gate, the Trans-Realm Gate can imprint a person's soul, forming a temporary projection, and temporarily project it to any place in the Three Realms."

"This projection looks similar to the real body. When you come to the lower world, you can talk to people and do anything, but it doesn't last long. When the time is up, the projection will dissipate, and your soul and spiritual will will return to the real body in the Spirit King Palace."

Ichigo was thinking about the details of what happened before, and he suddenly appeared in the real world. The clothes he was wearing were not the Shinigami costume, but his ordinary clothes.

Now he understands.

The self that appeared in this world before was just a projection.

But because of the super-boundary gate, I didn't notice any problems.

"Now, do you understand?" Xia Mu looked at Ichigo and asked the question again.

Unlike the previous direct answer, Ichigo pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "I want to protect my parents, my sister, and my friends. Even if this power is strong, if I can't use it, I don't mind giving it up."

"very good!"

Natsuki looked at Ichigo with an approving expression.

"In that case, Wang Yue, I will leave Ichigo to you."

Xia Mu said this and looked at Wang Yue from Ermeiwu who was not far away.

"What you are saying..." Wang Yue from Ermeiwu couldn't help but shook his head.

I am not familiar with this person, but he took the initiative to find me. First, he asked me to open the super-world gate and send Ichigo to the lower world to learn about his origin. Now, he is speaking to me in the tone of a superior instructing a subordinate.

However, Wang Yue from Ermeiwu was not angry. He just thought Xia Mu was very interesting.

At the same time, I am also very interested in what Ichigo's new sword will look like.

The power within Ichigo's body is too complex, which makes Ichigo's soul extremely complex as well.

The more complex and powerful the soul, the more powerful the sword that can be born will be.

Then, Nimaiya Oyue led Ichigo back to his Phoenix Palace.

There, he forged Ichigo's Zanpakutō.

Xia Mu did not go to the Phoenix Palace to observe the sword-making process, but instead wandered around the Spirit King Palace.

I have already been to the inner palace of King Ling.

But he had never been to the Zero Squad's Lidian where the members of the Zero Squad were located.

The first place Xia Mu went to was Hikifune Kiryu's Reiban Palace.

Hikifune Kiryu is an old acquaintance.

After seeing the other party, Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh, "Captain Hikifune, your appearance has changed a lot compared to the past."

In the past, Hikifune Kiryu in the Seireitei was an absolute beauty.

She used to have purple curly hair and a sexy body, but now it is different. She is fat and her appearance can fit in perfectly in a comedy animation. She has become a fat woman.

Normally, women would pay great attention to their appearance and figure, but Hikifune Kiryu didn't seem to care at all.

Facing Xia Mu's teasing, Hikifune Kiryu said with a smile: "Captain Xia Mu, you haven't changed much since then."

"I didn't expect that after coming to Squad Zero, I would have the chance to meet my old friends again."

"Since you have come to visit me, I must of course entertain you warmly."

Afterwards, Natsuki enjoyed a delicious meal at Hikifune Kiryu's place.

“Really delicious food!”

After eating Hikifune Kiryu's soul-filled dish, Xia Mu could feel that his physical condition had improved slightly.

The main reason was that his current realm was too high. Even the delicacies of Hikifune Kiryu could hardly improve his realm.

"I'm glad you're satisfied with the meal." Hikifune Kiryu said to Natsuki with a smile. After cooking, her appearance also changed and she returned to her former beauty.

Feeling Xia Mu's gaze, Hikifune Kiryu explained to Xia Mu: "Every time I make soul food, it consumes a lot of my spiritual power and physical strength. So, in order to reduce the consumption, I usually store my spiritual power in fat..."

"So that's how it is." Xia Mu nodded. In fact, he had known about this for a long time.

Immediately, he said again: "I don't think you need to go through so much trouble. Although your method is quite good, for women, appearance and figure are still very important."

As he spoke, he took out a card from his pocket.

"If you just need powerful spiritual power, you can try this thing."

Hikifune Kiryu took the card handed over by Natsuki and was a little surprised.

"This is?"

"You can regard it as a device for storing spiritual energy."

Xia Mu explained the use of this thing in detail to Hikifune Kiryu.

Normally, the spiritual power that is rarely used is injected into it and stored, and when it is needed, the spiritual power can be directly drawn out.

When Hikifune Kiryu learned of the wonderful uses of this thing, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What a convenient thing! It seems that Kisuke has created many things beyond my imagination over the years." Hikifune Kiryu has always recognized Urahara Kisuke's talents, otherwise he would not have personally stepped in to dig Urahara Kisuke from the Second Division to the Twelfth Division.

"Kisuke is indeed a genius..." Natsuki gave Hikifune Kiryu a detailed introduction to the current situation of the Gotei 13, as well as what genius inventions Kisuke Urahara had come up with.

After learning about the current situation of the Gotei 13, especially the fact that the Soul Society has completely changed, the surprise on Hikifune Kiryu's face has not yet disappeared.

"Amazing, really amazing!"

"If I had known that the Soul Society would become like this, I should not have chosen to be promoted to Squad Zero. If I had stayed in the Soul Society, perhaps I would have been able to witness these things with my own eyes."

Hikifune Kiryu said this, but Natsuki did not hear any regret in her tone.

It can be seen that for Hikifune Kiryu, being promoted to Squad Zero is not something he regrets.

At Hikifune Kiryu's place, Natsuki chatted a lot with the other party.

The other party was also the person he was most familiar with in Squad Zero.

After eating, he went through the same process as Ichigo did back then.

I went to Tian Shilang in Qilin Temple to take a hot spring bath.

While soaking in the hot spring, I chatted with Qilin Temple Tianshilang in the hot spring pool.

Over the years, Squad Zero has given up interfering in the lower world, so naturally they haven't paid much attention to the situation in the lower world.

Except for Hyoshubu Ichibei, who could know everything in the Three Realms because of his special ability, the rest of the Zero Squad members were really curious about what happened in Soul Society. Hot springs are very comfortable.

Although the food at Kirinji Tenshiro is average and Kirinji Tenshiro's hot spring cannot improve Natsuki's taste in the slightest, it is still possible to enjoy the process.

After another chat.

Xia Mu arrived at the next stop.

Shutara Senjumaru's Zero Banli Temple.

This is a woman with a cold, noble appearance, like a queen.

Xia Mu had no intersection with the other party.

After coming here for the first time, Shutara Senjumaru did not hide his disgust towards Xia Mu, "I really don't like the smell on you."

She is a mysophobic woman.

She didn't want to touch anything dirty with her hands, so she made special mechanical arms that looked like skeletons and attached to her back. When needed, these skeleton-like arms would stick out from the gaps deliberately left in her clothes to help her do anything. Her real arms were always hidden in her clothes and never revealed.

"I'm really sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."

Of course, Xia Mu knew what his spiritual pressure had become now.

The mixture of spiritual power and the power of hell allowed him to evolve to an extremely strong state, but his power was no longer pure spiritual power. It was mixed with some of the decay and death breath of hell. Some people with keen spiritual perception could sense it, so they were naturally not used to it.

Shudoro Senjumaru glanced at Xia Mu and didn't say anything more about this topic. He just said lightly: "Since you have come to the Zero Squad, I will make a new set of clothes for you."

Making clothes is one of her hobbies.

Even if she didn't like the aura emanating from Xia Mu, she would not change her hobby.

"Thank you!"

Xia Mu also responded to Shutara Senjumaru indifferently.

Next, Shudorashi Senjumaru measured Natsuki's physical data and specially made a brand new Death Suit for Natsuki.

From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary Death Tyrant Suit.

But after putting on this Death Tyrant suit, Xia Mu immediately felt its specialness.

"What an interesting death suit!"

His eyes flickered.

This set of Shinigami is connected to his spiritual power, just like the Zanpakutō in the hands of the God of Death. If the Zanpakutō is damaged in the Shikai state, it can be quickly restored by relying on the spiritual pressure of the God of Death. Unlike Bankai, Shikai does not involve its core. As long as the core is not damaged, the sword will not be destroyed.

The same is true for this Death Tyrant suit.

It is also something that exists at the core.

As long as the core object is still there, you can recover by absorbing spiritual energy.

And the core thing is not so easy to destroy.

Because it is a fragment of the King's Key, the hair, bones and other things of the members of Team Zero.

Even though it is just a fragment, it does not have the powerful ability of the real King Key, which can help others reach the Spirit King Palace directly.

But it also has super strong defense.

……

When he understood his own roots and knew what he wanted, nothing unexpected happened during Ichigo's choice of Asauga.

Shōda is a blank Zanpakutō, but it also has a soul.

If one cannot even be firm in one's own heart, it is natural that one will not be able to resonate with a sword like Asada.

This is also the reason why Ichigo did not get Asauchi's recognition for the first time in the original work.

But after he understood his roots, strengthened his heart, and knew the source of his strength, he easily gained Asada's recognition.

Right now, it's the same.

After learning everything about the past from his parents and teachers, Ichigo was no longer confused.

My father is the God of Death, the God of Death has helped me a lot, and the Quincy is not a good person.

Especially the ancestor of the Quincy, Yhwach, who killed Ishida's mother and almost killed his own mother. These things flashed through Ichigo's mind. As long as Ichigo was not a fool, he would know what to choose.

He chose death!
Thus, a brand new Zanpakutō was born after his old sword was integrated into it.

Same knife as in the original book.

The new sword is a double sword.

Just when Ichigo's new Zanpakuto was born.

Western world, Western end bureau.

The Quincy had already occupied this place long ago and turned it into their new headquarters.

The former Empire of Light, and later the Invisible Empire, took root again in this western world and began to thrive again.

History is like a cycle. Long years ago, Yhwach came to the Western world with a crippled body, and then rose step by step. By lending and collecting loans, he not only created the Quincy race, but also established the Empire of Light. Then he decisively launched the Eastern Expedition, wanting to regain dominance over the world created by his father and become the true king of this world.

Unfortunately, he failed.

In that battle a thousand years ago, he was defeated and nearly died, and the Quincy died out.

But he didn't die after all.

After a thousand years of dormancy, he recovered to his peak state and re-established a new empire in the Western world.

He is now more powerful than he was a thousand years ago.

He gained the ability of omniscience and foresight into the future.

In the future he sees, he will replace his father, the Soul King, and become the new ruler of the world.

However, all of this must be done according to the established time, without any mistakes.

However, these things changed not long ago.

Yhwach suddenly realized that the future he saw began to blur.

At first, it was just a little blurry, but the predetermined fate remained unchanged.

But today, the future he saw turned into chaos.

It is so vast and boundless that nothing can be seen.

The ability of omniscience and omnipotence has lost its proper function.

"In the end what happened?"

On the throne, he whispered softly. (End of this chapter)
