I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

It couldn't possibly be that they were really catching up with old friends, could it?

Well... it doesn't seem impossible...

Chapter 140: A Social Butterfly's Career Change?

Regardless of the Spirit King's plans for now, if the "original nothingness" can truly come back to life, then the Three Realms are basically doomed!

Even Yhwach probably wouldn't be able to handle something like that.

If she doesn't figure this out, Mi Zhen won't be able to eat or sleep properly.

He sighed, aimed his wristwatch at the fragment of the ancient void, and then transformed into a beam of white light and entered it.

Just do it!

Once seated in the theater, Mima didn't bother to conjure any snacks; instead, she stared intently at the screen until the image appeared.

Mima swallowed hard, watching nervously as the images gradually appeared on the screen.

He watched the scene of the Spirit King fighting against the initial nothingness again, and then new content appeared.

The initial nothingness turned into dust and disappeared, and the figure of the Spirit King slowly faded in mid-air.

I knew it...

Fortunately, this time the Spirit King didn't suddenly call out to him.

Instead, it remained suspended in mid-air until it completely disappeared.

Then, the focus shifted to the real point.

That is, the remnants of nothingness.

Although the initial nothingness turned into dust, it did not truly disappear without a trace.

A small portion of those invisible, finer particles than dust remained, floating in the air before slowly coalescing.

However, what was gathered was not only the ethereal dust, but also the Spirit King's arrows, which had transformed into the same state.

The paths of the sun and moon in the sky are aligned, and in the blink of an eye, countless years have passed.

As the terrain changed and mountains and seas collapsed, living beings gradually appeared in the wild world. They were neither born nor died, and their lives came together and went. Over an incredibly long period of time, wisdom and language emerged, just like an epic.

But something seems a little off.

It wasn't a picture, but Mima herself.

The movie theater was "shaken".

It was as if an entire construction team was hammering away inside; even Mima, sitting in her seat, had her hair shaken a little.

But this is not a bad thing.

This was, after all, his mental space, and no one knew the situation here better than him—the reason for this tremor was that the movie theater was being "renovated."

In layman's terms, it means that the ability to trace back through history has been developed.

Fullbring generally follows the principle that it gets stronger the more it is used, and Historical Revelation is no exception—it grows in two ways: one is by using it more, and the other is by gaining experience with antiques.

The principle behind the former is self-evident, and the latter is quite simple. Antiques have a very long history, requiring greater effort to uncover their past, which is akin to carrying a heavy load for training, thus allowing them to mature very quickly.

This fragment of ancient void... to use the language of fantasy films, is basically a treasure left over from the beginning of time. Heaven knows how long it has existed in the world, so it can naturally provide historical travelers with an absurd amount of experience.

With the experience gained from previous journeys spanning millions, millennia, and centuries, the power of historical retrospection has achieved a leap forward.

As for the result of growing up—Mizhen now has a remote control in her hand.

There is a button and a left and right joystick on it. Because it is his own ability, he can tell at a glance what this thing is used for.

The button pauses and plays, while the joystick controls the playback speed.

Moreover, the entrance to the cinema has been enlarged.

It seems... it's possible to bring others in?

Well, the magnitude of this leap forward isn't actually that large.

After pressing the pause button several times with the remote and testing the playback speed adjustment, Mima restored the screen to normal.

The events shown on the screen are at least a million years old. If you watch it at double speed, you'd be sitting in the movie theater forever!

Finally, Mima saw that the dust particles in the air had gathered to a point where they were visible to the naked eye.

Subsequently, the speed at which they aggregated gradually increased.

One after another, "Ancient Void" figures were constructed from the void.

In other words, the earliest form of nothingness was not "a state of the soul," but rather the "descendants" left behind after the initial nothingness "died."

I see... This explains a lot of things.

Mi Zhen watched as these powerful ancient beings rampaged through the barbaric world, causing the ancient people to flee in disarray, and in just a few years, they pushed the entire world to the brink of destruction.

Then King Ling came again.

The Spirit King led the remaining ancestors from the edge of the world and annihilated the ancient beings with overwhelming force. The original Mima might have been amazed, but after seeing the "Holy Annihilation Arrow" that was at least tens of thousands of kilometers long, he began to think that the current Spirit King was simply fighting with his feet.

Just as he had seen history in Urahara Ryouka's spirit weapon, the ancient Hollows were driven by the Spirit King to the Lava Lands, where they fought their final battle.

Those who participated in the battle were all top experts among the ancient ancestors, each of whom could easily kill ordinary ancient Void beings. In addition, with the Spirit King leading the way, this battle that determined the fate of the world ended quickly. In just about two hours, the ancient Void beings were all killed.

However, the ancient people were rather rough in their work... The ancient creatures they killed all left behind some corpses—as a result, Tsunayoshiro Mito in the crowd secretly stuffed a few small fragments into his pocket and then quickly pretended that nothing had happened.

There's not much to say about what happened after the battle. The Spirit King divided the three realms, created the Soul Cycle, and used the fragments of the ancient Voids as raw materials to create a new race called Void. He also planned a complete racial ecology for them, so that the world would never again be at risk of being devoured.

After hundreds of thousands of years passed like fleeting clouds, the playback speed suddenly returned to normal.

It's Tsunayo Mitsuhiro!

He gathered the descendants of the Tsunayo family in a large hall, saying that "there is an important matter to announce."

By this time, he was already very old. Perhaps it was because when the Spirit King created the Spirit Particle System, he also abolished the immortality of the ancestors. Even the four noble ancestors who had surpassed the limits of death would grow old and even die one day.

Sitting on the "throne," Mitsuhiro Tsuna coughed weakly twice, then took out several pale fragments of ancient void from his sleeve and displayed them to everyone.

Why is it called a throne? Because this chair is exactly the same as the one the Spirit King sat on before he entered the crystal.

It's hard to imagine what his mindset was when he did something like that...

Then, Mitsuhiro Tsuna called out the names of several people and asked them to come forward, handing over the fragments of the ancient void to them.

"Your mission..."

Mito Tsuna said in a low voice, "Go and study... the mysteries of the Ancient Void. After the division of the Three Realms, only this thing remained unchanged. The secret to regaining immortality may lie within it."

Then came a set of incentives, which gave the kneeling Tsunayoshi family juniors a lot of pep talks, making them immediately pat their chests and promise to pay with their heads if they didn't achieve results.

Mitsuhiro Tsunayoshi painted a grand picture for everyone present, including but not limited to the Tsunayoshi family's immortality, standing in the heavens and becoming the world's kings for all eternity. For a time, the crowd was excited and lost themselves in the wonderful vision.

I thought they were up to some big conspiracy, but it turns out this old wall lamp just realized it was going to be abandoned and started frantically searching for a way to survive...

This wish suddenly becomes simple and unpretentious.

The result, unsurprisingly, was failure.

Many years have passed, and the researchers haven't figured anything out.

Although they did use many Void corpses combined with a fragment of an ancient Void to create a powerful humanoid weapon, namely the Dark Azure Guardian.

The purpose of this project was to research methods to achieve immortality, but after so many years, countless funds have been poured into it, yet the results have had absolutely nothing to do with extending lifespan. It has been a complete failure.

Their fate was predictable; they were all exiled by the enraged Tsunayoshiro Mito.

Although the plan was shelved by Mitsuhiro Tsunayoshi, the byproduct was not destroyed—the experimental subject named Dark Azure Mighty Hand possessed an undeniable second-class spiritual power, excelling in both offense and defense, truly a rare talent… oh no, a great talent.

Even after almost finishing watching, Mi Zhen still couldn't figure out what An Cang Yu Shou was thinking, let alone how to use the divine sword.

The power of historical exploration is indeed somewhat lacking...

The situation can only be confirmed visually, but the content on the spiritual level cannot be seen, and the camera position is fixed and cannot be changed freely.

This often puts him in the awkward position of having read but not fully read, resulting in a significant gap in his intelligence.

But soon, Mima stopped caring about such a small matter.

Because the big one is coming!

That day, Dark Mage chased a troublesome enemy all the way to Hueco Mundo.

After blasting his enemy to ashes with a Cero, his power was nearly exhausted, so he decided to find a place to hide and return once he had recovered enough.

Then he "attracted" something.

They are tiny dust particles that are invisible to the naked eye.

“This is…” He collected some dust particles that were slowly drifting toward his heart.

After careful observation, I came to the conclusion—

"Fragments of the Ancient Void?"

He frowned, stood up, and abandoned any thought of recuperating. He began to meticulously expand the search area, hoping to find more fragments of the ancient void.

Without special treatment, the fragments of the ancient void will coalesce at an extremely slow rate, with the smaller ones moving towards the larger ones, and the larger ones moving towards the even larger ones, eventually becoming an individual capable of operating in the world.

As he searched again and again, he discovered a terrifying truth.

Every inch of land and every grain of sand in Hueco Mundo contains fragments of the ancient Hueco Mundo to varying degrees!

Why? Didn't the Spirit King already use these things to create the Void? How can there still be such a huge amount left?

Moreover, these ancient fragments are all moving precisely in one direction.

The very center of the dotted circle!

If left to its own devices, it's not hard to imagine what the final outcome will be.

It may not be as powerful as it was at the beginning, but if this situation continues, the initial nothingness will surely return someday in the future.

According to the data calculated by An Cang Yu Shou... it will be roughly one hundred and fifty years from now...

wait a minute...

Wait a minute! Don't joke with me like that!

It's all over, it's all fucking over, how could things have turned out like this?
