In Soul Society, I just want to retire

Yamabuki Ditang nodded slightly: "I'll go in and take a look. You guys stay outside and don't let anyone in."

The guards nodded in agreement and dispersed. Yamabuki Ditang took a deep breath, with excitement in his eyes, and finally entered the restricted book area.

After entering the restricted area and making sure that no one was monitoring him, the mirror flower and water moon were lifted, and Yamabuki Detang's figure turned into Aizen.

"The truth of everything is recorded here!" Aizen was so excited that he strode to the front of the bookshelf.

Recorded above are secrets that Soul Society has never been able to reveal for millions of years.

Aizen's goal is very clear, which is the Soul King.

Soon he found the records about the Soul King, but there was another book next to it. Unlike the other books, it was a white book with no content on the cover. It looked a bit weird. Out of curiosity, Aizen opened the first page of the book and found that this white book was actually handwritten.

Moreover, the words on it are difficult to read. The first page looks quite old and the words are a bit blurry.

When he saw the first line of words, Aizen felt his scalp tingling. The notes in this book turned out to be the notes of his teacher Yamabuki Detang.

What is going on here? How many secrets has the teacher recorded here?

Aizen's curiosity has reached its limit. He doesn't want to wait even a minute and immediately checks the contents of the book, but the first sentence is very shocking.

"In Soul Society's XXX year, the Soul King invited Yamabuki Detang to the Soul King Palace, intending to pass on the throne to him, but Yamabuki Detang refused."

Damn it! Damn it!

Aizen felt like his brain wasn't enough. What on earth was going on? Calculating the time, this should have been over five hundred years ago. The teacher did say that he had contact with Squad Zero over five hundred years ago, but the teacher didn't say that the Soul King wanted to give him his position!

In other words, he was always close to becoming a Spirit King.

This old man actually hid such an important thing from me. This is no longer just about discovering the truth of the matter. This old man is the truth itself.

There was already a storm in Aizen's heart. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. After a long time, he opened the white paper again.

"In January of the following year, the Invisible Empire led by Yhwach invaded, and the war began."

The following paragraph describes the course of the war in great detail. Although it was a war, the high-end combat power showed a one-sided crushing posture.

The Stern Cross Knights, composed of twenty-six of the most powerful knights among the Quincy, were all slaughtered in one day, with some dead, some fled, and some injured!

Finally, on the west side of Soul Society, Yamabuki Detang and Yhwach engaged in a thrilling showdown.

The next picture once again breaks Aizen's current cognition.

Because the painting shows a monster holding two swords, with a hollow mask on its face, six pairs of blue and white wings growing from its back, and a five-pointed star halo above its head.

"The Zanpakutō of a Death God, the mask of a Hollow, and the power of a Quincy!" Aizen muttered to himself. How could these three completely conflicting powers appear in one person at the same time? According to the description that followed, this monster was none other than Yamabuki Detang himself.

The two sides were evenly matched in this battle. The book records that the Quincy King Yhwach possessed a power called "omniscience and omnipotence", and he was not at a disadvantage even when fighting against Yamabuki Deto. In the end, when both sides were exhausted, the captain arrived.

Seeing the style of painting on the next page, Aizen was shocked again. He always thought that the strength gap between the Shinigami captains was not that big, but when he saw the captain-general's Bankai, he realized that the gap between people was so big.

With one blow of the sword, the earth turned into wasteland. More than five hundred years have passed, and the place where the three fought is still barren.

It is difficult to recreate that scene with imagination alone.

These are the two people recognized as the strongest in Soul Society.

Aizen's heart was filled with emotion. This old man who usually liked to slack off was actually so strong.

Aizen continued to flip through the pages, and the story soon came to the night when the Tsunayashiro family was exterminated.

Everyone knows that the Tsunayashiro family is guilty. The charge they were given at the time was attempting to overthrow Soul Society, but few people know how they actually overthrew it.

In this white paper, Aizen saw the true crimes of the Tsunayashiro family.

"Creating...the Soul King!" At this moment, Aizen could no longer use the word "shocked" to describe his shock.

The Spirit King can actually be created? Are you sure you're not kidding? What exactly is a Spirit King?

Why did the teacher refuse to become a Spirit King? What's the reason behind this?

Aizen continued to read excitedly. Below was a painting by Yamabuki Detang. To be honest, it was a bit abstract, but Aizen could still barely see it.

It was an embryo cultured in a glass bottle with three conditions written below it.

Shinigami, Hollows, Quincy.

But in the end, "Hollow" was crossed out, leaving only Shinigami and Quincy as the only conditions.

Chapter 28: I Will Stand at the Zenith

The Spirit King is the pioneer of this world and the existence that created the world. Everyone should respect the Spirit King unconditionally.

Everyone born in Soul Society is taught this "common sense," so in everyone's mind, the Soul King should be the supreme king.

But now, Aizen is getting closer to the truth step by step and finds that the situation seems different from "common sense".

According to the white paper written by his teacher, the "Spirit King" is more like an object than a living person.

Looking at the record about the Soul King, Aizen knew that once he opened the book, his three views might be reconstructed.

This is undoubtedly very painful, just like in the feudal era, everyone believed that His Majesty the Emperor was supreme, but one day a little eunuch saw that the so-called "emperor" was just a piece of stone. The ideological impact and shock would completely destroy a person.

"But at this point, do I still have a way out?" Aizen muttered to himself. Why were the words "Death God" and "Quincy" written on the conditions for creating the Soul King? Could it be that anyone who possessed both powers could be called a "Soul King"?

Moreover, these two forces are in conflict with each other, just like water and fire. According to common sense, these two things can never be integrated together.

Aizen took a deep breath and resolutely opened the book containing the Soul King's information.

A terrifying scene appeared in the book. It was a... person?

At least it looks like a human, but it has no limbs and there are obvious wounds on its chest, as if its internal organs have been taken out.

The eyes of this humanoid creature are half open and half closed, as if neither asleep nor awake, and it is sealed in a yellow amber cocoon.

"This is... the Soul King? This is the thing that everyone in Soul Society worships? This is the thing that controls all destinies?" Aizen couldn't believe that the Soul King was in such a posture. No wonder his teacher said that the Soul King's condition was top secret. If others knew what the Soul King looked like, many people would have a mental breakdown.

Aizen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again there was no confusion in them.

"Why did the Soul King become like this? Judging from his appearance, the Soul King should have been a human being once, right?" Aizen whispered.

There must be a reason.

He continued to look through the documents recording the Soul King. Sure enough, the Soul King was just a human being at the beginning, but a genius with many powerful abilities who could save souls. Later, five servants gathered around him. These five servants were the ancestors of the five nobles.

The Spirit King realized that the world would collapse if the Void continued to devour souls, so he divided the world into three realms to slow down the process of destruction.

Everything was normal up to this point, but the next scene was very abnormal. The Tsunayashiro family, one of the five great noble families, was too afraid of the Soul King's power, so they dismembered the Soul King, reduced his power, stripped him of his internal organs, and threw him into the underworld, turning him into a "human pillar".

"That is to say, the world we stand on was built on sin from the beginning." Aizen finally understood something.

What is Yamabuki Ditang pursuing? It's definitely not being bound to the throne. His favorite thing is probably to slack off at work.

After he understood the truth of this world, he flatly refused to become the Spirit King, because even if he became the Spirit King, it did not mean that he would be absolutely safe.

I'm afraid this is also the biggest reason for the downfall of the Tsunayashiro family.

I already know all this, but what can I do? I am too weak now. If people find out that I have been reading the banned book, I am afraid I will not survive this night. But I will never regret it.

"The only one who can control my destiny is myself. I don't want my future to be dominated by a human pillar." Aizen's eyes lit up.

The teacher once saw the truth, but he did not resist. Otherwise, Aizen believed that it would be easy to overthrow the Jinhu with the power of Yamabuki Deto.

Aizen could roughly guess what his teacher was thinking, which was to maintain the balance and stability of the world.

But could such a thing truly be called a "King"? It was merely a "wedge" supporting the Three Realms. The throne in the sky had been vacant since the moment the Spirit King was dismembered millions of years ago.

The teacher has been working hard to change the world. The reform of the Central Forty-Six, the weakening of the power of the nobles, and the establishment of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads are all the iron fists that the teacher has struck at this corrupt world, but this is far from enough.

Someone should fill the throne in the sky. If no one else is qualified, I will stand at the top.

After calming himself down, Aizen looked at the white paper again. This was Yamabuki Detang's notes, which contained many things that could not be known to outsiders.

Turning the page further, Aizen discovered something new.

"The limit of the Shinigami? Currently, we're targeting Captain Yamamoto. For hundreds of years, no Shinigami stronger than Yamamoto has appeared. But how do we break this limit?"

Breaking the limits of the God of Death? Aizen swallowed stiffly and continued to look back.

The next piece of paper only had two objects on it: a knife and a mask.

"The Hollow's Death Myth? The Hollowization of the God of Death?"

"Hypothesis 1: Inject the power of the God of Death into the body of the Hollow. Note: Failed, the powers of both cannot coexist."

"Conjecture 2: Infuse the power of the Hollow into the body of the Shinigami. Note: If this fails, the Shinigami will lose their mind."

"So what on earth am I?"

Yamabuki Detang controls three powerful forces at the same time: the Shinigami, the Hollows, and the Quincy. These three forces are not only perfectly integrated, but also cultivated to the limit.

After this part of the notes, there are some strange things that Aizen cannot understand at all with his current level of knowledge.

"The practical application of wormhole technology. Note: They've been researching it for five hundred years and still haven't figured it out."

Seeing this, Aizen couldn't help but smile. It seemed that his teacher also had times when he got angry.

Now Aizen has a goal, first to reach the "limit" of the God of Death, and then use the power of the Hollow to break this limit.

After all, teachers are not professional scientists, and mistakes are inevitable when doing research.

What the teacher cannot do may not be something I cannot do. What is the purpose of students' existence? Isn't it to surpass the teacher?

If each generation is worse than the previous one, what is the point of passing on knowledge?

Things like ancient martial arts being invincible only appear in novels. In reality, the newest things are often the best.

"Now we're back to square one." Aizen rubbed his brow. After all the twists and turns, he still had to improve his strength.

Chapter 29: Aizen's car crashed, and he almost...

Just as Aizen was thinking about how to improve his strength, he heard the guards outside suddenly say: "Captain, you are here."

Aizen's face changed. Why would the captain come here?

This sudden situation caught him off guard. Jinghua Shuiyue was indeed very strong, but his spiritual pressure was too far behind that of the captain-general. The current Jinghua Shuiyue had no chance of affecting the captain-general at all.

Is there a way to hide? But there is no place to hide in this place! If I use the ghost way to hide...

You're dreaming! How could the captain not see through this trick?

If the captain sees through me... I will definitely die today.

After all, the secrets that I am exposed to must not be known by others.

It is lucky to have an intact body.

And the captain has never seen the Shikai of Kyoka Shuiyue, what should he do?

Aizen has never been a person who sits and waits for death. The more critical the moment, the more calmly he can think about the problem.

Judging from the sound of his footsteps, the captain would be here in five or six seconds at most. Damn it! It was too late!

The footsteps are getting closer.

"Squeak!" The captain pushed open the door and walked in slowly.

However, when he glanced around, he saw no one.

The white book was pulled from the bookshelf and placed on the table. The captain muttered to himself, "Really? Yamabuki didn't even put the book away properly after reading it."

The captain casually put the book back to its original place.

At this time, Aizen was hiding on the roof, trying his best to restrain his breath. He knew that if his breath leaked even a little bit, he would surely die today.

At this moment, Aizen saw the captain actually looked up.

My life is over!

Aizen was thinking of jumping down and confessing, but the captain instructed him to yawn and seemed not to see the person hiding on the roof.

Aizen's heart was pounding. This was too exciting! Who could understand?

No, I won’t be able to hold on any longer if this continues.

Or, try to use illusions to interfere with the captain?

One minute! No, just half a minute will do.

I can get out of here by myself. I have already got the information I want. There is no need to stay here.

"Break it! Mirror Flower and Water Moon!" Aizen secretly released the Mirror Flower and Water Moon, instantly hypnotizing the captain's five senses. Mirror Flower and Water Moon, my life depends on you.

Aizen landed quietly from behind the captain.
