Spirit King

Half a day later, Unohana Retsu returned to Seireitei with Richard. They never mentioned the sparring match again.

The gap is too large; there's no need to worry.

At this moment, she looked at Richard as if he were a monster, unable to imagine how a person could be so strong.

Even the Seireitei Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and even the current Kurosaki Ichigo, are not this strong.

Even if she's not the best, she can still hold her own against them.

Could the Spirit King really be that strong? She couldn't help but ask herself.

After returning, Richard didn't go anywhere else; he stayed in the Fourth Division.

For him, it doesn't matter where he stays.

His goal, in any case, was to observe the structure of this world and the Spirit King.

His divine sense extended outwards, taking in the Soul Society, the Real World, and Hueco Mundo.

Even the Royal Palace of the Spirit King, hidden in a separate Small Space, did not escape his observation.

That fluctuation of divine consciousness went unnoticed by anyone in the entire world, including Unohana Retsu was not far away, and the Spirit King who was being used as a human puppet in the Royal Palace of the Spirit King.

Therefore, the whole world is actually in a state of one-sided undefendedness for him.

He could clearly see the situation Royal Palace of the Spirit King. A human stick was placed on the throne; this was the Spirit King.

Five bodyguards provide close protection; this is the mysterious Squad Zero. Before the formation of the Gotei 13, the Squad Zero was the core force protecting the Seireitei.

Although there are only five of them, these five people combined are even stronger than the entire Gotei 13.

Even the core technology of their Zanpakuto originated from one of them. It can be said that the Grim Reaper system was built by these few people.

The Spirit King must be very touched to know that he has such high-level protection, right?

Richard had assumed that the Spirit King was, after all, a pillar of this world, and perhaps even the creator god. He thought that even if the Spirit King was weak, his strength couldn't be that weak.

I never imagined that the Heavens and Myriad Worlds were so full of wonders; he really was that incompetent.

In terms of aura, he's not much stronger than Kurosaki Ichigo right now.

Even at his peak, the Spirit King probably didn't possess the power of Low-level God.

That's incredibly bad.

It definitely wasn't the creator god.

But he may be connected to the creator, and his power may even have originated from that being.

Since it wasn't something they cultivated themselves, it's understandable that they're this bad.

This world is too small and could be corrupted by chaos at any moment, so who left the Spirit King as the foundation of this world?

If the Spirit Lord leads the people of this world to work hard to develop it, it is possible to gradually strengthen this world.

Until the world expands to a certain size and can exist independently in the chaos, then the Spirit King will no longer be needed to support the existence of the entire world.

Unfortunately, that person didn't expect that the Spirit King would be betrayed by the people of this world and imprisoned in the Royal Palace of the Spirit King as a human stick.

Now the entire world can forget about development; everyone has to kneel down and beg the Spirit King not to die. And they also have to search for a backup plan for the Spirit King.

It's likely that whether it was Aizen or Yhwach, even if they had succeeded in the end, they would have ended up being turned into miniature Spirit King batteries.

Just like Kurosaki Ichigo now, although he's back to being a happy high school student, if the Spirit King can't hold on, his fate probably won't be good either.

After understanding what was going on with the Spirit King, Richard stopped paying attention to what was happening at the Royal Palace of the Spirit King.

Instead, they began to study the Three Realms structure of this world.

When people die in the Real World, they become spirits and come to the Soul Society. When their lifespan as spirits also ends, they become the most basic Reishi, which become the basic elements that make up this world.

Hueco Mundo is a dumping ground for negative emotions, which are then transformed into Hollows and various advanced forms, before being periodically eliminated by the Grim Reaper.

Even after death, it will become the most basic Reishi.

There is no such thing as reincarnation after death. Although one can become a spirit and go to the Soul Society, a spirit cannot be reincarnated.

Once the soul reaches the end of its lifespan, it dies completely.

Grim Reaper, to put it simply, is a soul entity with even greater spiritual power.

Therefore, these Grim Reaper can exist for far longer than ordinary souls.

Richard was somewhat disappointed. He had thought this world would have something related to reincarnation, since there was already a dedicated afterlife.

If that's the case, then this world doesn't mean much to him.

The connection between the Real World and Soul Society is simply a passage established in the void, linking the two worlds.

This is no different from him connecting the primary plane and the two secondary planes using the Tree of Life.

In terms of development potential, it's even inferior to his Small World, since his Small World is already capable of stably generating the World Origin.

It can be released and exist independently in the chaos, without even needing a pillar like the Spirit King.

He was aiming for reincarnation, using it to connect the two ends of life and death, constructing a traditional Eastern worldview: the human world, the Underworld Bureau, and even Heavenly Court if needed.

This will not only allow him to advance further in his Way of the World, but also help him comprehend the Life Law and Rules of Death, and even gain considerable insights into the Way of Space-Time.

Even the Reincarnation Path, taken alone, is a top-tier path in Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

This matter concerns the future, so he cannot afford to be careless.

Unfortunately, the world wasn't what he imagined.

The gains weren't entirely nonexistent, but they weren't as significant as I had imagined.

For example, the concept of Hueco Mundo as a trash can is quite good; it's designed to hold negative content and even has a simple purification mechanism.

Currently, there aren't many intelligent beings in his Small World, so he doesn't need to consider this issue yet. However, he might have to consider it when he starts creating life or introducing intelligent species from outside.

Otherwise, if this negative content isn't cleaned up, it will accumulate and cause serious problems.

In the Douluo God Realm, there are also special God Position like the Rakshasa God to accommodate this trash.

Even in the Prehistoric World, didn't there exist a garbage can called Return Ruins?

As for the Coiling Dragon World, Richard doesn't know how the Hongmeng master designed it, or whether he considered this issue.

Perhaps this person didn't really care; since he had nothing better to do, he just cleaned it up manually.

But no rush, if we don't find anything in this world, there's still the Fox Spirit World.

The concept of reincarnation has been explicitly mentioned in this world.

The Reincarnation Love Renewal of the Bitter Love Tree, and the Third Young Master of Aolai Country who emerged from the Underworld Bureau.

But Richard was somewhat unwilling to leave just like that; he had already come all this way.

So he used his Time Reversal ability to try and see what happened when this world was first created.

The entire history of the world appeared before him in a backward manner.

One year, two years, ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years.

He quickly retreated to the beginning of creation, where he met the creator of this world.

This world is surprisingly young, only a few thousand years old.

The creator was probably someone with great fortune. Richard that the creator's strength at the time was not actually that strong, and was even weaker than Richard's own strength now.

Such strength is insufficient to walk in the Chaos Sea.

It probably possesses some kind of supreme treasure capable of transcending Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

I wonder how far this person has grown up to now.

Judging from this, this person's path is also the Way of the World. It is estimated that this world was just created casually to test what he has learned, and the craftsmanship is a bit rough.

The energy and resources used to create the world all came from this being. Since it wanted to create a world within chaos but lacked the ability to transform chaotic energy, this was the only way.

It must have been quite taxing; Richard was amused to see how exhausted this Richard was. He probably never imagined someone would be so bored as to go back in time to look at his embarrassing past.

At this moment, Unohana Retsu, who was handling the daily affairs of the Fourth Division, was filled with question marks.

Kotetsu Isane came to report on his work, even stopped speaking. Was there something wrong with his report?

Why was the captain's distinguished guest laughing?

His subordinates had no idea where their captain, who rarely went out or socialized, had suddenly become a friend, so they refrained from asking questions they shouldn't.

This distinguished guest visited once a few years ago, but disappeared suddenly after a short stay, which was very mysterious.

Now that he has reappeared, it's unclear how this distinguished guest managed to get in and out.

The Seireitei's defenses are actually very strict, but this person appeared and disappeared without a sound.

This person's abilities are indeed extraordinary, but they don't seem to be Grim Reaper or anything like that. They don't have Zanpakuto, and their Reiatsu is not even perceptible.

This really piqued the curiosity of all the members of the Fourth Division, including Kotetsu Isane.

If it weren't for the fact that his relationship with the captain seemed unusual, he would have been taken out for questioning long ago.

Even the Captain-Commander is probably very curious, right?

Unfortunately, it's impossible to get an explanation from the captain. He asked the captain a few years ago after his first visit, but received no answer.

Richard sensed that the two men were watching him.

When he came to his senses, he saw the two of them staring at him.

He was too impatient, and couldn't help but rewind time here.

We should wait until Unohana Retsu arranges accommodations for him before discussing this further.

So all he could do was smile at the two of them.

He explained, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something funny. You guys continue."

The two turned around and continued their daily work.

Richard decided not to continue reading; he figured he could just read it later.

After finishing her daily tasks, Unohana Retsu took Richard to a guest room so Richard could rest.

After Unohana Retsu left, Richard continued to travel back in time to see the creation of the world by this unknown deity.

As he looked at it, he compared it to his own past. Back then, he had already gained a huge advantage by directly obtaining an initial Small Space using the power of the Rinnegan.

Then, the boundless divine power supplied by the Divine Power Ocean Divine Power expanded it into Small World.

In comparison, he has already expanded his Small World to this extent, yet he hasn't actually used many resources.

Compared to that, I'm actually quite happy.

However, seeing the complete process of this person creating the world, despite both Way of the World on the same principles of world creation, but using different methods, was quite inspiring for him.

In particular, this person truly built a complete world from scratch. Even though his world was somewhat rough, it was no less of an opportunity for Richard than that of the Tree Authority.

That makes the trip worthwhile; it wasn't a waste of money.

After that, Richard did not stay in this world for long, and took his leave after a few days.

She even invited Unohana Retsu to travel to other worlds with her.

Unfortunately, Unohana Retsu hasn't found a successor yet and can't leave Seireitei for the time being.
