Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Spirit King: "?"

Why doesn't this kid play by the rules at all?

Shouldn't a normal Grim Reaper bow down in worship when he sees himself?

Looking at the expressionless Spirit King, Naraku Sora seemed to be deep in thought.

Although we don't know much about this true god before us, the only thing we are certain of is that the Spirit King may not love anyone, including His son.

But He loved the whole world.

This is definitely a script for a human emperor.

Even the golden toilet is exactly the same.

As a great being who created the three realms and maintained the stability of the world, the Spirit King's omniscience and omnipotence far surpassed Yhwach's.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's highly likely that his identity as a time traveler will not be hidden from the other party.

Naraku had already had this idea on the way here.

Perhaps the Spirit King saw the script he had written, which had been messed up by his intruder, and decided to set things right and put everything back on track.

Just as Naraku Sora was trying to put himself in Aizen's way of thinking...

The Spirit King was also observing the changes in the young man's expression, his eight pupils slowly rotating within his eyes, making subtle adjustments.

Without careful observation, it's impossible to notice the changes.

Unknown, unknown, unknown...

Unlike others in the Three Realms, his omniscience and omnipotence could not see through Naraku's past and future; all that remained shrouded him was a thick layer of mystery.

It's as if there's a counterpart who personally shelters Naraku from the gloom.

The Soul King from another world?

As the Spirit King observed Naraku, he subconsciously recalled the time millions of years ago when the Three Realms had not yet been separated.

In the original world, there were only Hollows and humans. When the Hollows began to devour human souls, the cycle of the world ended. If it were not for His appearance and the use of the power of annihilation to end the Hollows, all the souls would have eventually become a single giant Hollow, and the world would have fallen into complete stillness.

His appearance caused the world to begin its cycle once again.

King Ling firmly believed that everyone in the world has a reason for being, just like Him.

So, what is the significance of Naraku Sora, this special life form?

"Although it goes against your ideas, I still want to explain why."

After thinking for a moment, the Spirit King spoke again, his heavy voice echoing in the room:

"hell."

Naraku Sora was somewhat surprised.

This was somewhat unexpected for him.

"As early as the primordial era, when the three realms were not yet separated, hell already existed, just like a stubborn disease in the body, weak but incurable."

"Perhaps sensing something, the world began to operate spontaneously, fighting against hell in its own way."

"That is, the so-called Void devours humans, integrating all souls into one."

"But doing so would only lead to the disappearance of all life in the world, thus plunging it into eternal stillness."

"I couldn't bear to see this, so I took action and destroyed that Great Void, separating the Three Realms. But doing so also caused Hell to begin to grow stronger again, constantly devouring the world."

"To slow down this process, I created the gates of hell."

Naraku Sora's eyes widened.

So the Gates of Hell were created by the Spirit King; no wonder something felt off from the beginning.

This thing can appear in every place in the Three Realms, accurately capturing any sinful soul and then throwing it into Hell.

If Hell could achieve this, it would have already devoured the entire Three Realms.

"As more and more souls sank into hell, the gates of hell gradually slipped out of our control."

"The balance is tilting at a slow but increasing rate until it leads to final destruction."

As the story unfolded, the Spirit King's voice was no longer calm, but became increasingly heavy, causing the listeners' hearts to grow heavy as well.

"Speaking of which, since you're so strong, why don't you use your invincible omniscience and omnipotence to think of a solution?"

Naraku Sora asked curiously.

The Spirit King gave someone a deep look. This kid had no reverence for the gods whatsoever, as if he were chatting with a friend.

But He was not averse to this way of communicating; in fact, He was somewhat pleased with it.

"'Omniscience and omnipotence' is only one kind of ability, not true omniscience and omnipotence."

But you are different.

"In the endless years, this is the first time I have ever seen someone pull a soul that has fallen into hell back to the Three Realms and bring it back to its original spiritual cycle."

Naraku Sora seemed to be deep in thought.

In conclusion, even the Spirit King was helpless when it came to Hell, and could only place his hopes on his extraordinary wisdom.

Yes, that's me for you!

Seeing the suddenly arrogant Naraku Sora, the Soul King remained silent for a few seconds.

Although He couldn't see the past or future of the young man in front of him, His intuition told Him that this kid was up to no good.

"In short, hell is yours to deal with."

King Ling seemed to have lost the desire to talk and prepared to chase them away.

But Naraku Sora had his own ideas:

"Don't rush, I have another question."

"explain."

"I'd like to know, how do you plan to deal with Yhwach?"

As soon as the words were spoken, eight pupils stared intently at Naraku Sora, and only when he felt a chill run down his spine did the Spirit King's voice continue to ring in his ears:

"Can you imagine what it would feel like to work overtime for a million years straight?"

Nai Luo Kong: "?"

Although the Spirit King showed no emotional fluctuation when he uttered those words, one could still detect an almost tangible despair in them.

It's like when Kisuke hugs his own leg and complains.

Well, speaking of Kisuke, let's have him work overtime again when we get back.

……

……

Seeing Naraku Sora emerge from the room unharmed, Hyosube Ichibei showed a surprised expression.

He raised his hand and touched his messy beard.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Lord Spirit King doesn't want this kid to be His successor?

Unable to reach a conclusion, the monk stepped forward, a kind smile on his face, and asked:

"Lord Naraku, what did Lord Rei-ou talk about with you?"

Naraku gave him a deep look, smiled meaningfully, and then squeezed out the words through gritted teeth:

"Don't tell you."

The commander of the army, Ichibei: "..."

Why do I suddenly have this ominous feeling?

Seeing Naraku's strange expression, the monk suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Could it be related to me?

He suddenly remembered that a thousand years ago, when Yhwach ascended to the Spirit King's palace, the Spirit King did not make any statement, allowing him to act freely.

Now, he personally engages in a private conversation with Naraku Sora.

The differences are beyond what outsiders can understand.

If Yhwach knew, he would be instantly disarmed.

He is clearly the Spirit King's biological son...

Wait, son?

Hyoninbe Ichibei glanced at Naraku Sora, who looked perfectly normal, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

hiss--

Could this kid be the illegitimate son of Lord Ling King?

Thinking of this, the monk's gaze toward Narakuku underwent a strange change.

……

……

Phoenix Palace.

The thatched hut still stands on the cliff, while the waves roll up like a thousand piles of snow.

Wang Yue of Nimaiya stared intently at the young man in front of him, his eyes behind his sunglasses displaying a complex expression.

With the body of a death god, he defeated Hyosube Ichibei head-on.

Looking across millions of years of history, you won't find a second example like this.

Nimaiya Wang Yue took a deep breath:

"You said you want to learn the [Transcendental Gate] technique?"

Naraku Sora nodded slightly.
