I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

He arrived at the Fourth Division with a nervous heart, but when Retsu Unohana didn't mention the past, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly vowed to behave himself.

He knew he had something on him.

This is also the reason why he developed a steady and composed personality.

On one hand, his eccentric personality almost led to his death, and on the other hand, he was targeted by Aizen. Combining these two factors, along with his advancing age, his personality gradually became more stable.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 170 Yoruichi, I already told you that if you have a child with him, everything will be fine!

"As long as the Hogyoku remains, it will continue to be coveted by Aizen."

It's unlikely that the people of Soul Society will believe Aizen anymore.

After all, they were framed by Aizen and forced to leave Soul Society. Now, there is no possibility for them to return to Soul Society. At least, they could never have returned while Aizen was in Soul Society.

Broken jade.

Once he realized that there was no way to destroy it after he created it, he understood that this thing was a menace.

"Aizen hasn't contacted you yet, has he?"

"No."

Having lurked for so many years, of course he couldn't find me. Besides, I wasn't directly involved in the development of the Hogyoku at all; I only offered suggestions.

When Byakuya first saw the Hogyoku, he realized it was very similar to the Shikon Jewel, both being tools for fulfilling one's desires and constantly evolving towards that goal.

In addition, he was also very interested in experiments, so for a long time Byakuya would communicate with Kisuke Urahara but he didn't participate in the research at all.

Aizen might have guessed, but he was either training or unable to schedule appointments while hiding in the Fourth Division. The people who sought his treatment every day were mostly female Shinigami, and his schedule was completely full, so Aizen couldn't find him at all.

"Bai Ye, you believe me, right?"

There were many things that Kisuke Urahara didn't have a chance to say to Byakuya back then.

One reason was that Bai Ye's strength was unclear at the time, and he was unwilling to let Bai Ye get involved in the mess.

On the other hand, he hadn't identified who it was at the time. By the time he found out, he had already been framed and forced to leave Soul Society, so he didn't have time to tell Byakuya.

For years, Byakuya had remained hidden in Soul Society, and he had no chance to go looking for him. This time, with Byakuya's arrival, he finally had an opportunity.

"Although I really want to kill you, I can still barely trust you."

"So, what about dealing with Aizen?"

"and many more!"

Byakuya interrupted Urahara Kisuke directly.

He had something he wanted to ask Kisuke Urahara.

"what?"

Urahara Kisuke was stunned for a moment.

"Who are you fighting for?"

"."

What is this nonsense?

Kisuke Urahara didn't quite understand what Byakuya was saying, but he immediately realized that Byakuya didn't seem like the Byakuya he used to know.

For whom is he fighting?

"Bai Ye, for whom are you fighting?"

Kisuke Urahara knew very well that Byakuya seemed to know a lot, perhaps even more than he did.

"Myself."

"So you know the whole truth?"

After hearing Byakuya's answer, Kisuke Urahara couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

It seems he's not as easily fooled as he used to be.

Although he admitted that he was being somewhat deceptive, he felt that Aizen's actions were justified.

Besides, I will let Bai Ye make his own choice.

"Is it the Spirit King or one of the Five Great Noble Families?"

From Aizen's perspective, how did he feel after learning what the so-called god was like?

Isn't Soul Society ultimately just a world ruled by nobles?

The five noble families ambushed the Spirit King and turned him into a human pig. The Zero Squad's appearance was merely to guard the Spirit King.

Ultimately, neither Aizen nor Yhwach was wrong.

"Looks like you haven't just been working in isolation all these years. I underestimated you!"

Kisuke Urahara took a deep breath. Even Yoruichi, who was standing next to him, was somewhat shocked. She hadn't expected that Byakuya actually knew these things.

This means that she can no longer approach Bai Ye with the same mindset as before.

"So you have the same mindset as Aizen right now?"

"No! I'm only fighting for myself. I won't fight for anyone else. I'll fight from the heart."

Byakuya looked at Urahara Kisuke very seriously; the previous playfulness had ended.

Now that the matter has been discussed openly, Bai Ye makes no attempt to hide anything.

Even though he joined the Technology Development Bureau initially, it was for the purpose of designing later.

He wouldn't fight for anyone. The reason he was hiding was to avoid attracting attention as much as possible. If he were too conspicuous when his strength was insufficient, it would really be fatal.

He would not become a tool for the nobles to kill, nor did he want to be abandoned by them and cast into the deepest hell because of some incident.

"What a hassle! If I had known your mindset had changed, I really shouldn't have said all this to you!"

Kisuke Urahara tapped his forehead in frustration, surprised that Byakuya had also changed.

If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have said so much to Bai Ye!

Aren't you the same?

Yoruichi Shihouin curled her lip. Although this guy kept saying that Aizen was a threat to Soul Society, wasn't he fighting for her now?

"Tch, those guys in Room 46 were already rotten to the core. In the end, these nobles really are trash!"

Kisuke Urahara simply stopped pretending.

But after saying that, she realized that Yoruichi Shihouin was the same.

"I am no longer."

Since betraying Soul Society, she has no longer belonged to the ranks of the nobles.

Ultimately, although the Soul Society still has four noble families, everything is actually decided by the Tsunayo family, who have all declined to varying degrees.

As one of the four noble families, Yoruichi Shihouin was naturally well aware of just how dark the world of noble families truly was.

Perhaps there are kind-hearted people among the nobility, but in reality, most of them would casually sacrifice other Grim Reapers for their own benefit.

“Urahara, that’s why I’ve always wondered whether Soul Society is about maintaining peace or protecting the interests of the nobility.”

"You wouldn't dare to talk nonsense!"

Hey Hey hey!

Isn't your comment becoming increasingly dangerous?

If you keep talking like this, aren't you going to start doing something sneaky like Aizen?

"I was just saying that casually, but at least there are people I cherish in Soul Society right now."

At least for now, there is no conflict of interest between him and the nobles.

At the same time, he also felt that his strength was not enough and that he needed to become stronger. He just knew that Urahara Kisuke and the others would not talk nonsense, so he just complained a few words. He had been too repressed over the years.

Every day is spent either cultivating oneself or healing others, while also having to pretend to be someone else. It's exhausting.

"Fine, I won't try to persuade you if you have your own ideas, but you should probably tone them down a bit in Soul Society."

Kisuke Urahara didn't particularly like the nobility, but there was nothing he could do; they couldn't fight against such a system.

He could say it to himself, but he absolutely couldn't say it after Bai Ye left.

"Well, so what's the purpose of calling him here?"

Bai Ye shrugged, then pointed at Hei Qi Yixin and asked.

"Ichigo, but since you have your own ideas, I won't tell you about this plan!"

Urahara Kisuke originally planned to cooperate with Byakuya, but he didn't expect Byakuya to have his own ideas, so he felt that he didn't need to tell him his plans.

After all, his thoughts would only affect Bai Ye.

"I have a feeling this guy might be an unexpected surprise!"

Yoruichi rolled her eyes, not expecting Urahara Kisuke to give up so easily.

However, she didn't say much. Although she could use the favor Bai Ye owed her to ask for his help, she didn't even consider it.

There's no need to help reluctantly.

"Urahara, you can do as you please. I have my own ideas too. I'll be going now."

Byakuya waved his hand and then stepped out of Urahara Store.

He knew that Urahara Kisuke's plan might be somewhat different, but Byakuya wasn't really willing to get involved; what he wanted was to survive.

He had complained so much before, and he had thought about making changes, but he would have to wait until he was a little bit stronger.

"This is really troublesome; there's an additional off-field factor."

Kisuke Urahara rubbed his forehead, watching Byakuya's departing figure, feeling somewhat helpless.

"His strength."

"Very strong! I told you before that his vital signs were perfectly healthy, he might have been faking it!"
