After the door closed, the Captain's Office fell silent again.

Unohana picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and then looked at Liu Ziyun: "Are you so sure that brat Kisuke Urahara can really make what you want?"

"He's the smartest and most research-obsessed guy in the history of Soul Society," Liu Ziyun said with rare admiration. "If anyone in Soul Society could create equipment that perfectly conceals Reiatsu and presence, it would be him. You could even say that the so-called experts in the Technology Development Bureau are just apprentices in his presence."

Unohana raised an eyebrow. "You think so highly of him?"

"Because he deserves it." Liu Ziyun sat down in the guest seat and poured himself a cup of tea. "Didn't Captain Yoruichi just ask me how I could be sure he would become a captain in the future? Because it's destined. The captain of the Twelfth Division Kirio Hikifune, will probably receive his promotion order to the Royal Guard Zero Division soon. When the position of captain of the Twelfth Division becomes vacant, Kisuke Urahara will be the most suitable candidate."

Unohana paused slightly, her hand holding the teacup still. "Captain Hikifune is going to be promoted to the Zero Division? How did you know?"

"Because I 'saw' it." Liu Ziyun pointed to his empty eye sockets. "Although I'm blind, some things are actually clearer to me. For example, fragments of the future, or the trajectory of certain people's destinies."

He paused, his tone suddenly turning somewhat regretful. "Speaking of which, Captain Hikifune is quite a beauty. It's a pity, if it weren't necessary, I'd really like to add her to my harem."

Unohana glanced at him, her tone teasing, "Then you can just hide her in your harem, won't that solve the problem? Anyway, she'll be leaving Soul Society soon, so whatever you do secretly won't be noticed."

"Ugh... that won't do." Liu Ziyun shook his head repeatedly. "Wouldn't that be suicide? It's best to just think about it. After all, the Zero Division... they're not to be trifled with."

His tone suddenly became excited. "But when I have the chance to go to the Soul King Palace in the future, I'll snatch her and Senjumaru Shutara back and put them in my harem. They're the two beauties of the Zero Division, just thinking about it makes me excited."

Unohana put down her teacup, her eyes turning dangerous. "You still want to go to the Soul King Palace? Also, who is Senjumaru Shutara? I've never heard of such a person in the Zero Division."

Liu Ziyun realized he had let something slip and quickly laughed it off, "Ah... well... you'll see later. When the Gotei 13 are all at the Soul King Palace, I'll be there without a second thought. But thinking about how those two beauties were snatched away by the Zero Division, it really breaks my heart."

"You can feel sorry for yourself all you want," Unohana said coldly as she stood up. "You little brat who only dares to dream. Alright, get lost and stop getting in my way."

"Uh... alright." Liu Ziyun stood up awkwardly. "I'll head back now, Captain. Please keep an eye on the Black Cloak matter."

After saying that, he turned and left the Captain's Office.

Back in his dormitory, Liu Ziyun sat by the window, lost in thought.

Just now in the Captain's Office, he forgot an important thing—he should have Yoruichi Shihōin tell Kisuke Urahara to also create a Gigai that can hide Reiatsu.

According to the original plan, after being exiled to the World of the Living, Kisuke Urahara would develop the "Gigai" technology. It is a device that allows Soul Reaper (death gods) to move around in the World of the Living world undetected. The principle is to temporarily seal the Soul Reaper's spirit in a specially made body, thereby avoiding affecting the balance of the World of the Living.

But what Liu Ziyun needs is not an ordinary Gigai, but a specially modified version that can completely conceal his Reiatsu. With that, he will be safer and more discreet when he operates in the World of the Living world in the future.

"Forget it..." Liu Ziyun shook his head, "It's too early to bring this up now. I can go find Kisuke Urahara escapes to the World of the Living. With his abilities, he should be able to do it quickly."

He closed his eyes and began calculating the timeline.

Sōsuke Aizen has become the Lieutenant the Fifth Division, which means that the Hollowfication Experiment has entered the preparation stage. Next, Shinji Hirako and others will be ambushed by Aizen and become victims of the Hollowfication Experiment. Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin will be forced to flee Soul Society and go to the World of the Living due to the failure of the rescue and the responsibility for the experimental accident.

According to the original plot, all of this will happen within the next few years.

"Time is running out..." Liu Ziyun muttered to himself, "I must complete all preparations before then. The Black Cloak is the first, the Gigai is the second. And... complete mastery of Shikai, and attempt to reach Bankai."

With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes again and entered a shallow meditative state. Although his body had not fully recovered, the cultivation of his soul could not be stopped.

In the days that followed, Liu Ziyun's life returned to a semblance of calm. He remained an ordinary member of the Fourth Division, handling mundane medical tasks every day, occasionally accompanying the team to Rukongai for free clinics, or assisting Tazawa Kentarō with some medical paperwork.

But when no one knows, he enters the Underground Training Ground at night to continue his dangerous training with Life-Taker and Tulu.

The awakening of his Complete Shikai brought about a qualitative leap in Liu Ziyun's strength. He could feel that his connection with the Life-Taker Tulu was becoming stronger, and his mastery of the Life-Taker Tulu's power had also greatly improved.

"Change Fate"—this is the first and most important ability granted to him by his Complete Shikai. It is not only about reversing the damage to his wounds and restoring his condition, but also about making subtle interference with the "trajectory of fate." Although he cannot truly "change his fate" yet, he can already turn around some unfavorable situations at crucial moments.

Besides "Change Fate," Liu Ziyun is also exploring other abilities. Every battle against Life-Taker and Tulu is an exploration and application of these powers. Although the process is still painful and dangerous, Liu Ziyun can feel himself getting stronger little by little.
