Chapter 188 A History of Conflict

Looking at the many captains who had fallen around him, then at the calm-faced Ichigo Kurosaki before him, and at the words he was saying...

"Calculation, completion, and running this world?"

Those eyes, devoid of any emotion, were fixed intently on Aizen.

Suddenly, Aizen smiled.

He clutched his stomach and let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He possessed extraordinary power from a young age, and his intelligence and spiritual pressure far surpassed those of ordinary people. He had already reached the limit of the Shinigami race and could face everything with composure. However, he lost his composure like never before.

"Heh..." He laughed for a while before gently taking off his glasses and wiping away the tears that had welled up in his eyes.

He straightened his hair, a wistful expression on his face. He sighed and pointed to the sky, towards the unreachable distance, as if he could see the palace suspended directly above the Seireitei, an unimaginably distant place. "Your description is quite similar to that of the Spirit King..."

"Hmm, it's somewhat similar." Kurosaki Ichigo nodded.

The Atomic Concerto had already analyzed the entire current rendering area, and Fang Zheng naturally also collected the memories of all the captain-level Grim Reapers.

In their memories, there exists a closely guarded story, a secret known only to the nobles who rule the entire Soul Society.

He quietly recounted the story that was sealed off from all sides, a story that only the ruling class had the right to know: "In a world countless years ago, there was no life or death, no progress or regression, everything was ambiguous, like a strange place."

"In that world, there is no birth, no death, no disappearance, and no birth..."

Even Aizen, when he used his abilities to infiltrate the area controlled by nobles and read that period of history, found it hard to imagine what kind of world it was when he looked at those vague and ambiguous words.

However, even in such a world, life still exists, and so do humans.

Since there is no death, both the body and the soul are merely changes in state.

Spiritual particles and artifact particles are mixed together and are essentially indistinguishable.

The soul can come into contact with the body, and the body can also come into contact with the soul.

The two can also transform into each other; when the body is severely injured, the soul will separate out.

The soul will then re-enter the body after other humans reproduce.

There is no such thing as death, nor is there any such thing as birth.

Could the people of that time, or rather the things of that time, truly be called human?
They were all bizarre things, whose origins and evolutions were unknown.

Until one day, among the "humans" who could not die no matter what, a completely new life emerged due to the accumulation of despair.

Virtual!
The existence known as the void began to transform from the original human soul.

These beings, who were originally human, began to devour their own kind due to their inner hunger.

From that moment on, that strange and inexplicable world began to change.

Originally, there was neither birth nor death; everything was an ambiguous world in which spiritual particles and physical particles circulated and changed in turn. The chain of this cycle began to be broken.

If this continues indefinitely, one day, all of humanity, all of the souls, and even all of the spiritual particles and physical particles will be completely devoured by that final void, becoming an unprecedented void that becomes the world itself.

But at this time, a being known as the Spirit King was born, possessing the power to destroy the Void.

The void, which should not have been subject to death, was completely annihilated by him and transformed into the most basic spiritual particles.

Originally, humans became souls, and souls became humans, with the two cycling back and forth. After the birth of the Hollow, the souls became Hollows again, and the Hollows devoured both humans and souls, breaking the cycle and continuing towards a future where only one Hollow remains.

However, after the Spirit King was born, the Void was then killed by the Spirit King and became the most basic Spirit Particle.

In a world where life and death are already ambiguous, where there is neither death nor birth, if things continue like this, all humans and all souls will one day become nothingness, and then all of them will be killed by the Spirit King for devouring humans.

Even though it is a void, it is still an existence composed of spiritual particles.

One day, in order to protect humanity and souls, the Spirit King will tirelessly destroy the Hollow, slowly annihilating all the souls in the world and turning them all into spirit sand.

At that time, the number of souls, which were originally neither increasing nor decreasing and which could transform between soul and body without ever increasing in total number, will become increasingly scarce. There will be no more souls in the world, only endless sands of spiritual particles and vessels, and everything will fall into a deathly stillness.

Until a million years ago, a few humans in that chaotic world who lived during the same period as the Spirit King, and who were later known as the ancestors of the Five Noble Families, began to have new plans.

Each of them had different plans, but they all shared the same goal: to separate the physical body from the spiritual body, and to separate life and death, so as to establish a new cycle and an orderly world of life and death.

Ultimately, they chose to ambush the Spirit King, turning him into a sacrifice, and using his powerful strength to create everything.

The original chaotic world was divided into two: the world of spirit particles and the world of artifact particles, and a world specifically used to contain the void, which was like a junkyard.

After the Spirit King was ambushed, his arms, which controlled his power of movement and stillness, were severed. They then spent a long time digging out his heart, severing his feet, tearing apart his internal organs, stripping him of his power, and throwing him into the world.

Finally, only a human stump, devoid of internal organs, remained. It was used as a wedge and a tool to extract power, constantly maintaining the separated Three Realms and preventing them from collapsing back into the original chaotic world.

As time passed, the rule of the five noble families remained unshakable, standing at the top of the world and enjoying their inherited rule.

Fang Zheng continued speaking through Ichigo Kurosaki's voice: "To be honest, in my opinion, your so-called history is rather laughable."

"It's less of a history and more of a simple folk myth."

"A background story riddled with errors and logical flaws."

"A background story that is called history but does not exist at all, and is only based on a few vague pieces of information."

The Atomic Concerto had already completed the analysis of the entire rendering area surrounding the Execution Hill when Ichigo Kurosaki descended into Soul Society and arrived at Seireitei.

This area was originally the territory of the nobles who ruled the Soul Society.

Whether it's the vast collection of books or other ancient artifacts, there's nowhere else in the entire Soul Society that has more than this place.

However, without personally arriving and relying solely on the analysis of the Atomic Concerto, Fang Zheng found no historical records whatsoever. All those seemingly piled-up books and records were nothing but empty, wordless encyclopedias.

The very few books that contain written records and information about the Spirit King are so sparse that they are as pitiful as a primary school student's composition.

As for those so-called nobles, according to the Atomic Concerto's detection, they were all just products of real-time rendering, just empty textures, without even a rudimentary background story; they simply existed there.

In other words, in that backstory, the so-called chaotic world, the so-called millions of years ago, never actually existed.

Without players or characters arriving in the relevant areas, those histories don't even qualify as unopened areas; they simply don't exist, they're nothingness that was never calculated.

"However, even with such a story, you wouldn't be able to truly realize the errors in it without external help due to the existence of real-time rendering."

"Because no matter how much knowledge you have in the background story, what you don't have, you don't have."

"You don't have detailed lives or experiences; you only have empty, monotonous, and simplistic background settings, like those of characters in a comic book or novel."

Suddenly, he flicked his finger, and ripples swept out, enveloping the surrounding spiritual particles and transforming them into a sphere with a vast amount of detail that floated in mid-air.

Ichigo Kurosaki pointed at the sphere and said to Aizen, "Look, this is what you call the present world, a planet called Earth."

"Although in my current observation, your present world consists of only a small city called Karakura Town, at least in Karakura Town, there are indeed some television programs and descriptions of Earth."

Pointing to his chest, he said, "This boy named Kurosaki Ichigo even has a dream: to study abroad after graduating from high school, to learn more languages, and to become a translator."

"At least, without involving his parents, Ichigo Kurosaki's backstory can be considered as that of an ordinary boy living in a small city in a country called Japan on Earth."

Pointing at Aizen, Kurosaki Ichigo said again, "But what about you?"

"The backstories of all of you in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo are riddled with far too many logical inconsistencies..."

With a wave of his hand, Ichigo Kurosaki gestured for Aizen to take a walk with him.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at a place called Rukongai outside the Seireitei.

Rukongai is divided into 320 districts in total, from the 1st district to the 80th district. As the number increases, the security situation and living environment become increasingly worse. By the 80th district, it is a barren wasteland with famine everywhere, and the souls of the dead kill each other to determine who can survive.

Outside of District 80, the situation is even worse, to the point of being indescribable.

On the desolate streets, this first district was already the most prosperous place in the entire Soul Society, apart from the Seireitei where nobles and Shinigami resided.

But the place still looks very dilapidated, with all the houses being low wooden structures, resembling ancient Japanese society.
