Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

Although the Three Poisons Canopy dissipated considerably due to the death of its host, it did not completely collapse like Long Aotian's. It transformed into an even smaller canopy and flew away, seemingly searching for a new "protagonist."

Loran noted the direction the top cover flew off in, preparing to search for a completely new "protagonist" later.

The demonic infant, under the continuous influence of the three demon-subduing divine powers, was constantly purified and refined, eventually transforming into something resembling a golden elixir.

Loran looked at the essence of the demonic fetus, which resembled a "golden pill," with a somewhat complicated expression. Strictly speaking, this thing belonged to the category of "human pills."

Under the catalysis of the Three Poisons Canopy, the demonic seed sprouted into a demonic embryo, absorbing all of Ye Xian's essence, energy, and spirit. Then, Loran used the three great demon-subduing divine powers to refine the demonic thoughts, leaving only the most essential part.

Taking this golden pill is essentially absorbing the essence of Ye Xian's entire being, without any pill poisoning whatsoever. Just this one pill can save Luo Lan a year of arduous work in honing her true qi and external strength.

In reality, is there really much difference between a human being and a precious medicine? According to the theory of internal alchemy, the human body is the most precious medicine.

"This is a real cannibalistic culture!" Loran felt a chill run down her spine.

After considering it for a while, Loran still swallowed the pill containing pure essence. Why not take it? Fang Han can do things that swallow the world, but I, Loran, am hesitant to take a pill. How can I achieve the Great Dao?

Chapter 17 Death: Soujiro Kusanagi

"Do you want revenge?"

As Kusaka Soujiro walked through the desolate Hueco Mundo, the voice echoed in his heart once again after he killed a Hollow that tried to ambush him.

He didn't answer, but simply sheathed Hyōrinmaru and walked towards a cave. He was too tired and needed to rest.

As for that question?

Kusaka Sojiro disdained to answer. How could he not think about revenge? Or rather, he thought about revenge all the time. The fire of revenge tormented his heart. Every time he swung his sword, he would remember the disgusting faces of those sages that day.

"One must not pursue the aesthetics of clashing swords, nor the virtue of dying without returning, nor consider only one's own life. If one wishes to protect a king and five dukes, then one should slaughter all the enemies from the shadows of the leaves."

Kusakabe Munjiro silently recited these words in his mind.

This was the sentence he repeated most often while he was still training at the Shinigami Academy. It comes from the preface of the Shinigami Academy's required textbook, "The Great Mirror of Shinigami Insights".

Every death must be remembered.

The "One King" refers to the supreme Spirit King of the Three Realms.

The Five Dukes refer to the five noble families who inherited their rule from before the creation of the Three Realms and governed the world in accordance with the will of the Spirit King.

"Hahaha!!!"

Kusakabe Sojiro smiled sadly. What was he grieving about? Wasn't the Soul Society, which he had sworn allegiance to, always like this? To protect the King and the Five Dukes, they would use anything and disregard all rules and morality.

Just because he and Toshiro possess the same Zanpakuto, he wants to kill him, to kill a Shinigami who is comparable to Toshiro, a genius who appears only once in a century in Soul Society.

Because according to their rules, the Zanpakuto of Soul Society must be unique, and his appearance violated their rules.

Kusakabe Sojiro was cursing the corruption and injustice of the Central 46 in his heart, while Loran, who was lurking in the void of the Three Realms and watching Kusakabe Sojiro at all times, sensed his thoughts through "Otherworldly Freedom".

He thought to himself, "Perhaps the Soul Society isn't really making a mountain out of a molehill this time, but rather that Kusakabe Sojiro has touched on something fundamental about the Soul Society."

All Zanpakuto are named by Hyosube Ichibei, the leader of the Zero Division, known as "Shinna-ko-ho". Part of the "power of name" of the monk comes from his Zanpakuto abilities, but the ability to rise to the level of the root of the three realms comes from the power of the Soul King.

In other words, if it wasn't a monk who suddenly went mad and gave Hitsugaya Toshiro and Kusakabe Sojiro the same name for their Zanpakuto, then there would be a big problem.

This means that something has overturned the monk's "power of name" and the power of the Spirit King, which represents the foundation of the Three Realms. Among the Three Realms, the one known to be able to overturn the monk's "power of name" will have to wait until many years later when the Spirit King's son, Yhwach, is reborn.

Considering that apart from the final Great Void that was destroyed before the chaos and the mysterious and transcendent Hell, there is only another Spirit King power in the Three Realms that can overturn the power of the Spirit King, and it is not an ordinary fragment of the Spirit King, but a rather powerful Spirit King power.

Considering that Kusakabe Soujiro's soul was able to be reborn in Hueco Mundo after being executed, Kusakabe Soujiro definitely has a very close connection with the King's Seal—this treasure of the Spirit King. Kusakabe Soujiro's Hyōrinmaru was very likely born because of the power of the King's Seal.

The nobles of Soul Society guarded the Royal Seal so tightly, and then suddenly a rookie Shinigami appeared who could access its power. This involved the very foundation of the three realms, so it's no wonder they were furious.

It's likely that the so-called verdict that only one of the two could survive was just a fabrication by the Central 46 to deceive Toshiro and outsiders. The Central 46 never intended for Kusakabe Sojiro to live in the first place.

Kusakabe Sojiro was a perfect target for seizing power. He was exceptionally talented, and apart from the mysterious connection between him and the Royal Seal, his own aptitude was outstanding enough.

At the Shinigami Academy, he ranked second only to the peerless genius Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Hyōrinmaru is renowned as the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō, with potential comparable to the Captain-Commander's Ryūjin Jakka.

In the original theatrical version, he was able to severely injure the century-old captain, Shunsui Kyoraku. Although the royal seal played a part, his strength was evident, and he truly deserved the title of genius.

It can be said that as long as Loran possesses him, he will gain a very complete and systematic knowledge of the Grim Reaper and a body with excellent aptitude.

Moreover, the mysterious connection between the other party and the royal seal might be able to shield the monk from prying eyes, allowing Loran to be born safely.

The other party was in the midst of a breakdown of his beliefs after being executed, and he himself was trapped in the vast Hueco Mundo, with nothing but desolate spiritual sand and savage hordes of Hueco Mundo in sight. There was no one to comfort him, and this was simply the perfect opportunity for the Heavenly Demon to seize power.

Loran patiently used the "Barrier Demonic Sound" to gradually pry open his defenses and plant the demonic seed.

Then, taking advantage of the emptiness he felt after being engrossed in endless battles against the Void, Loran gradually wore down his will, and finally, today, he saw the dawn of success.

Kusakabe Munjiro encountered a hunting party consisting of several Adjuchas.

The Hollows in Hueco Mundo have a strict hierarchy. The lowest level Hollows are formed from human souls, and then hundreds or thousands of Hollows continuously aggregate and devour each other to form the lowest level of Hollows, the Gillian.

Most Gillian are dull and confused, with only a very few exceptionally gifted Gillian possessing the instinct to devour other Gillian.

After continuously devouring each other and consuming countless souls, Gillian further shrank in size, transforming into Adjuchas with a unique form.

Above Adjuchas are Vastodes, and there are very few Vastodes in the entire Hueco Mundo.

Each Adjuchas is an aggregate of countless souls, and their power is far beyond what Kusakabe Soujiro, a student who has only recently graduated from the Shinigami Academy, can compare to. Even though Kusakabe Soujiro is a super genius, he is ultimately not as overpowered as Kurosaki Ichigo.

Faced with a group of several Adjuchas, Kusakabe Soujiro could only flee in disarray. Fortunately, his Shunpo was excellent, and Hyōrinmaru's power was also sufficient.

After a fierce battle, Kusakabe Sojiro escaped with his wounded body and hid in a secluded cave, curling up inside.

Although he was quite accomplished in the path of ghosts, he was not proficient in the path of returning to the source.

In Soul Society, unless you want to join the Fourth Division, not many people will put in the effort to study the Dao.

Most proud and arrogant geniuses disdain joining the Fourth Division, the medical division, to do odd jobs in the rear. It should be noted that the Fourth Division has always had a low status among the Gotei 13, and even dirty work such as cleaning sewers is assigned to the Fourth Division.

Therefore, faced with this situation, Kusakabe Sojiro could only treat the wound simply and then tough it out, relying on his own regenerative abilities to slowly heal it.

Generally speaking, as long as the spiritual pressure is not weak, the recovery ability is usually not weak either.

When a person is injured, their physical and psychological states become unbalanced, their sense of security collapses, and a passive, dependent mentality strengthens their vulnerability, especially as previous traumatic memories are awakened by the pain. In particular, feelings of loneliness increase exponentially, pushing a person's inner vulnerability to its extreme.

Kusakabe Sojiro lost too much blood and fell into a semi-comatose state. As his senses became dulled, he was gripped by an extreme fear.

Did Adjuchas come after us?

He hasn't taken revenge on the hypocritical Soul Society yet; he doesn't want to die, he wants to live.

When people are lonely and vulnerable, they tend to overthink, and the more they overthink, the more depressed and vulnerable they become.

Kusakabe Sojiro fell into this vicious cycle: the more he feared, the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more fearful he became.

His heart was about to be overwhelmed by the overflowing negative emotions.

At that moment, a voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens.

"You're so tired, why don't you leave the revenge to me?"

"I will make the Soul Society a sea of ​​blood, I will make those hypocritical nobles and sages pay a bloody price! I will make them fall from the heavens into the mud! I will make them repent for what they have done!"

"All you have to do is give yourself."

"Give myself up?" Kusakabe Sojiro hesitated slightly.

Yes, give yourself.

You know how powerful Soul Society is. Even Toshiro, who used to be superior to you, has sided with Soul Society. Do you think you can get everything without paying a price?

Do you have the resolve to sacrifice everything for revenge? Are you so cowardly that you can't even face the cost of revenge?

The voice rose in pitch, questioning Kusaka Sojiro's resolve for revenge.

“Of course I am determined to give everything for revenge,” Kusakabe Sojiro retorted loudly, as if his inner falsehood had been exposed.

"Then what are you still hesitating about?"

"You're not going to be able to hold on any longer, are you?"

"You can't even handle a few Adjuchas, how can you talk about taking revenge on Soul Society?" the voice questioned.

Kusakabe Sojiro fell silent. The truth was the quickest way to kill. He had already experienced a sense of powerlessness. Two brushes with death had brought him to the brink of mental collapse. He was not as strong as he thought.

"Give up everything?"

"I want the head of Room 46."

"If the end of this path of revenge is destined to be nothing, then take everything from me. I only want to see the downfall of Soul Society."

As Kusakabe Sojiro opened his eyes again, the original Grim Reaper genius disappeared, and the Heavenly Demon Loran officially descended upon the Three Realms.

Chapter 18 Bleach: Hyōrinmaru

Looking at the numerous wounds covering his body, Loran, who had been given a new lease on life, frowned.

He used the power of the Six Paths shared with Nagato Loran. Although it was still very immature, it was enough to heal the wounds on his body.

After quickly repairing his wounds, he drew out Hyōrinmaru and carefully sensed it.

According to Bleach, once the owner of a Zanpakuto dies, the Shinigami soul residing within the Zanpakuto will gradually dissipate and eventually degenerate into a basic Asauchi.

He was somewhat curious. Kusakabe Soujiro was originally a spirit, though this spirit was no different from a flesh-and-blood body. If he had possessed this spirit, would the world consider Kusakabe Soujiro dead?

Perhaps this can be reflected in the Zanpakuto that is connected to its master's soul.

The Zanpakuto's appearance hadn't changed; it was still Hyōrinmaru. Loran was somewhat surprised. Could it be that he was also identified as Kusakabe Munejirō on a soul level?

To further confirm his suspicions, Loran performed a sword meditation. This was a ritual taught at the Shinigami Academy, used by Shinigami to communicate with their Zanpakuto.

Using the sword technique, Loran entered the soul space within the Hyōrinmaru and saw the enormous ice dragon amidst the snowstorm.

Hyōrinmaru is still alive!

Is it really impossible to detect the Heavenly Demon's attempt to seize power at the soul level?

"You are not my master."

Just as Loran was surprised, the huge ice dragon opened its mouth, its deep voice echoing through the wind and snow, deafeningly loud.

"Can't tell the difference?" Just as Loran was about to ask further, the Ice Dragon spoke again.

"But you are also my master."

"What do you mean?" Loran asked, puzzled.

"The connection between my Zanpakuto and the Shinigami tells me that you are my master. But the essence of my soul tells me that you are not my master." Hyōrinmaru's voice was very calm, showing no sign of the rage one would expect after discovering that their master had been replaced.

"What is the essence of the soul?" Loran asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know, I just have a vague intuition," Hyōrinmaru replied.

Loran frowned. His intuition told him that the essence of the soul mentioned by Hyōrinmaru might be the core secret of "Heavenly Demon Seizing the Path".

In reality, they only used most of the Heavenly Demonic Powers to a limited extent. Rather than comprehending or creating them, it was more like a gift from heaven.

Even Nagato Loran couldn't figure out the fundamental principle of "Heavenly Demon Seizing the Dao," he just felt that it should be used this way, and many of its uses needed to be developed and expanded by them.

Seeing that Hyōrinmaru seemed unwilling to say much, Loran changed the subject.

"What are you going to do?"

"Accept me as your new master? Or seek revenge for your old master?"

Hyōrinmaru remained silent for a moment, but Lorraine awaited his reply.

After a long while, Hyōrinmaru spoke again: "My soul and Soujirō's soul are one; he is the master, and I am the servant. Therefore, I respect his decision, but I will never serve any being other than Soujirō."

"Erase my will, just as you did to Sojiro."

"Although I am unwilling to fight for you, Sojiro's revenge requires strength, and I am willing to contribute myself to Sojiro's revenge."

"Erase my will, let me follow Sojiro, let my body fight alongside you, cut off the heads of the Forty-Six Chambers, and fulfill Sojiro's tragic wish!"

Hyōrinmaru's cold voice echoed in his inner world, proclaiming his determination.

“Alright, I appreciate your loyalty.” Loran nodded.

A massive ice dragon, carrying ice and snow, swooped down toward Loran, the flames flickering in its blood-red eyes telling Loran something.

Want my power? Sure! But you'll have to come and get it yourself.

It's impossible for me to hand it over without asking!

Hyorinmaru claims to respect Sojiro's wishes, but does he actually harbor no resentment towards Loran, who in fact murdered his master?
