Soul Supreme Starting from Death

Suddenly, a spiritual power that was even more mysterious than the one in the metal fragments and that the human figure could not understand at all flowed out from the crystal fragments and poured into the human figure's body, as if trying to make some changes in his body. However, this spiritual power was too little, and before any changes could take place, it became a part of his spiritual power and disappeared without a trace.

The figure frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. In that brief moment just now, he did gain something. He had vaguely touched the opportunity for change.

In the abyss where there is no hope, even a tiny bit of light is precious. After waiting for a hundred years, there is finally a turning point, and the figure is already extremely satisfied.

After solemnly putting away the metal bars and blue crystals, the figure scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes and soon locked onto a piece of open space not far away. There were obvious signs of intelligent life there. Most importantly, in a corner of the open space, there was a big pit with a raging fire still burning.

The Great Hollow does not pursue cooked food, and there are no flammable materials such as trees in the Hueco Mundo. The appearance of fire here is undoubtedly an obvious anomaly.

The figure flashed again, and the figure appeared at the edge of the burning pit. After careful observation, he easily found a huge rock next to it that could completely cover the pit, and a container carved out of rock. In the container, there were still some flames that had not yet been extinguished, as well as another stone full of holes and a few blue crystals on the surface.

[Sure enough, whether it is this crystal or this metal strip, are they all made by a certain Great Void? ]

Not surprisingly, his guess was verified. The figure felt a little annoyed. He was still a little impatient. In just a hundred breaths, he didn't know whether the hollow that created these things had escaped. It would be a pity if he was crushed to death by his spiritual pressure.

[If I had known this earlier, I would have given them more time to escape. ]

Shaking his head helplessly, he put away the newly discovered blue crystal, and identified the direction through the footprints on the ground. The figure cleared his throat and spoke solemnly.

"My friend who made the blue crystal and white metal, I hope you can share these two technologies with me. In return, I can help you become a Vastod. If you agree to this deal, please write the production technology in words in a conspicuous place. I will move again in one day, and I hope I can see what I want by then."

The calm sound, driven by the powerful spiritual power, spread far away and soon covered an area of ​​dozens of kilometers, ensuring that even if the creative great void was Yachukas and ran at full speed for a hundred breaths, he would still be within the coverage of the sound. The figure then withdrew the spiritual power that was pushing the sound outward.

[I hope the creator is still alive. ]

With a sigh in his heart, the figure suppressed his anxiety, expectation, and irritability, forced himself to calm down, and began to patiently study the blue crystals and white metal in his hands, waiting for tomorrow to come.

Chapter 100: Can you give me a simplified Chinese version?

"…He's talking about us, right?"

Erlang was still breathing heavily with lingering fear, looking at the direction where the voice came from, and all the muscles in his body tensed unconsciously. Before today, he had never thought that there would be such a terrifying existence in the world. He just heard the other party's voice and had the illusion that his life was coming to an end.

"Obviously, that's us."

Perhaps it was because of his thick nerves, or perhaps it was because when he turned into a hollow, the emotion of "fear" was also lost. Although Gu Shi felt scared like the other hollows when he heard that voice because of the terrifying spiritual pressure contained in it, those emotions could not stay in his heart for long.

After the sound disappeared, Gu Shi quickly recovered in a few breaths and the fear in his heart quickly disappeared.

[The owner of this voice is probably Stark, right? Apart from him, there shouldn't be another player in Hueco Mundo who is so outstanding.]

Although he only heard the voice from beginning to end and never saw the owner of the voice, Gu Shi still guessed the identity of the visitor -

Koyatae Stark, the unshakable first place among the future Espada, the undisputed strongest in Hueco Mundo, a living calamity that can cause massacres just by walking, who broke the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows without relying on the Hogyoku, and completed Arrancarization by himself, an outrageous existence.

Although Stark's appearance was a bit abrupt, fortunately when he spoke the second time, he had no intention of concealing his intentions and openly expressed his demand for "white metal and blue crystals".

Gu Shi only had to think about it for a moment and guessed that perhaps when he was experimenting with the blue crystals, he made some noise that he himself didn't even notice, but Stark noticed it and therefore set his eyes on what Tianpeng had made, wanting to use that blue crystal to complete his Hollow Mask and change his long lonely life.

When "Bleach" was very popular in his previous life, Gu Shi often debated with others online, discussing some settings that the author did not give clear answers to. Among them, whether self-made Hollow Carnage is better than using Hogyoku Hollow Carnage is a topic that is often mentioned.

Therefore, after figuring out Stark's intention, Gu Shi immediately thought of this question - if Stark really uses a degraded semi-finished Hogyoku to complete the Hollow Face, will his strength drop significantly?

And, beyond the changes in power, there is another serious question – will Lilinette show up again?

In the plot of "Bleach", Stark's subordinate Lilinette is not an independent life, but a unique individual formed by Stark when he completed the autonomous Arrancar in order to weaken himself and split his own soul.

In this world, strong people who despise their own power and desire to seal themselves seem to create this kind of peculiar life individuals that are closely related to themselves. This is true for Stark on the Hollow side and Kenpachi Zaraki on the Death God side. And these peculiar life individuals, without exception, have become the most important people in their lives.

So, if Stark didn't arrancar on his own accord, would Lilinette still be born?

In a short period of time, many questions came to Gu Shi's mind, and then he realized even faster that it was actually meaningless to think about these things.

The strongest person in Hueco Mundo asked for something, how could I refuse?

Should I tell Stark that if he could just endure the loneliness for who knows how many hundreds of years, one day in the future he would be able to give birth to a best friend?

Not to mention that Gu Shi did not intend to go this far for Stark, who was just a stranger, and expose his ability to "know the future". Even if Gu Shi was willing to do so, he simply could not do it.

The range of Stark's spiritual pressure is a life-forbidden zone. If you get close to it, you will die. Gu Shi has no chance of survival if he runs in front of him and talks nonsense.

So, if you don't want to anger the strongest person in Hueco Mundo and cause him to completely clear out the Great Hollow Forest, you can only do what he says?

Gu Shi had no concerns about giving in, but there was still one problem that needed to be solved.

...Stark, can he read?

In other words, does Stark know how Gu Shi and others can write?

Hollows and Shinigami are both pure souls. Although the communication between them also relies on "language", in essence they transmit their thoughts directly to other souls through the vibration of the soul.

"Text" and "language" are more like auxiliary tools that make communication more accurate. Some professional terms or ancient poems and verses must rely on text to be accurately expressed.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that Erlang, who has never learned human language, can communicate with Gu Shi without any obstacles immediately after becoming virtual, and can appreciate the beauty of "ancient poetry".

So, now the question is, can Stark understand simplified Chinese?

Of course, in addition to showing off his simplified Chinese, Gu Shi can also ask Asido to write for him. Although Asido doesn't like to use his brain, he has taken six years of classes at the Maou Spiritual Academy after all, so he has no problem reading and writing basic Japanese.

But the problem is that for Stark to become the strongest in Hueco Mundo, he must have accumulated a lot of time. He must be at least 300 to 500 years old, right? It is possible that he is even older.

As we all know, writing will change with the passage of time. Are the writing that Stark mastered three or five hundred years ago the same as the writing that Ashido masters now?

Gu Shi didn't know much about Japanese history and was not sure whether the Japanese language had undergone frequent changes. He now only hoped that the Japanese language would change less throughout history, so that Asido wouldn't write a lot of things and Stark wouldn't be able to understand them and thought they were graffiti to tease him.

Now, we can only let Asido write it. We can't really write a bunch of simplified Chinese characters for Stark to guess.

"...Ashido, are you recovered? If you can move, come and help me write something."

"Phew, I've recovered."

As the one with the weakest spiritual pressure among the few people, Asido was the most affected. His legs were still a little weak at this time, but after hearing Gu Shi's words, he still struggled to get up, walked to Gu Shi's side somewhat shakily, and patted his chest with difficulty.

"Leave it to me. My handwriting is pretty good."

When they were escaping before, Asido couldn't get up, so Gu Shi grabbed him in his hand and carried him all the way out. This really saved Asido's life. Asido was grateful in his heart, but he didn't know how to express his gratitude. Just a light "thank you", which was too meaningless, but Asido was not well-educated enough to express his gratitude.

Therefore, he could only clumsily express his attitude through actions. Even though his limbs were weak and his mind was dizzy, he still forced himself to pull out his Zanpakutō and use it as a pen, and engraved every word that Gu Shi said on the ground without missing a single word.

Urahara Kisuke curled the corners of his mouth, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. His condition was obviously much better than Asido's, but Gu Shi did not let him help with writing, obviously not wanting him to know the secret of the "blue crystal and white metal".

This is not surprising. The two parties have not known each other for a long time. It is natural that he is not as trusted by Gu Shi as Asido. There is no need for Gu Shi to chase him away. Urahara Kisuke tactfully walked away, found a place where he could not hear Gu Shi's whispers, and sat down to recover his strength.

It doesn’t matter. One day, I will be able to figure it out myself.

Chapter 101: Farmer Stark

"Ignite a corpse of a hollow in a closed environment, compress it into stone (?), then ignite a large amount of stone in a closed environment, compress it into blue crystals?"

Stark looked at the words left on the ground. Although he felt that some of the words were not written right and seemed to be a little different from what he remembered, he finally figured out the meaning after a lot of guessing. He also finally understood the purpose of the big pit he had seen before.

"In that case, let's give it a try."

After identifying the traces on the ground and determining the direction in which Gu Shi and others left, Stark chose the opposite direction, took a light step, and his figure appeared hundreds of meters away.

When entering the Great Hollow Forest before, in order to avoid creating meaningless deaths, Stark specifically warned the Great Hollows and gave them enough time to escape. As a result, now he needs the corpses of the Great Hollows, but he can't find even a Great Hollow around him, so he has to make another trip.

Fortunately, for Stark, distance was no longer a problem for him. After moving quickly for a while, the corpses of the hollows began to appear in his field of vision one after another, including Killian and Yachukas.

The only difference between the two is that Killian died suddenly without exception, without even a sign of struggle, while Yachukas more or less ran a few steps before his consciousness was wiped out by Stark's spiritual pressure, and he fell to the ground and died while struggling.

Stark had seen such scenes countless times in the past hundred years, and there was no longer any ripple in his heart. He just picked out Yachukas's body from among the many Killian corpses and piled them aside, waiting to deal with them all later.

In Stark's opinion, the manufacturing condition of "collecting different voids and integrating them into one" is like artificially creating a lifeless void. Although the form of this void is a "gem" and seems to have nothing to do with traditional voids, it is essentially no different from a big void. They all devour and fuse other voids to strengthen themselves.

Therefore, by using more advanced Daxu as the material, the final product should also be more advanced?

Stark wasn't sure if his guess was correct, and the message written on the ground didn't explain it.

This is not surprising. Judging from the footprints and other traces next to the message, the Void who created the blue crystal should be just Killian. He does not have the conditions to use Yachukas-level materials. Stark decided to try it himself.

[Well, I'm lucky. It looks like we can find Vastod ahead, right? ]

Like a hard-working farmer, Stark was bending over to pick up hollows from the ground. Suddenly, he noticed an obvious sign of a struggle not far away. A hint of joy arose in his heart. Under his spiritual pressure, Yachukas would die after running a few steps at most. The one who could struggle so violently must be Vastrod.

After all, Vastod is a superior Hollow. If we ignore Stark himself, this level is definitely the pinnacle of Hueco Mundo. It is no problem for him to proclaim himself the king of Hueco Mundo. Even if you search the entire Hueco Mundo, I am afraid that the number of Vastods will not exceed twenty, and it is not certain that there may be ten.

Therefore, it was a small surprise for Stark that he could pick up Vastod just by looking in a certain direction.

Following the traces of struggle, after walking about one or two hundred meters, we saw the body of a Vastod. It was only a little over two meters tall, with slender hands and feet like sticks, and long and thick golden hair.

The evolution of Hollow follows a clear pattern. When a small Hollow evolves into Killian, its size will increase dramatically.

When Killian evolves into Achukas, his size will shrink again, and his appearance will become similar to that of a certain animal or a combination of several animals.

When Yachukas evolves into Vastod, there is no regular pattern to the changes in their body sizes. Some will shrink, some will grow, but without exception, they will all move closer to human form.

This Vastod is small in size, with hair on its head that makes it easy to drag and carry. It will also take up relatively little space when filled in the pit in the future. It can be said to be high-quality material, which makes Stark feel a little better.

[I already have all the Vastods, so I'll just pick up this much for now... What is that? ]

Stark, who had picked up a rare item, was about to stop for the time being, but when he looked up, he noticed a clear black area not far away.

Unlike the old, decayed black of Killian's robe, that black was clean and fresh, standing out against the pale ground.

Stark took a few steps forward, picked it up, and identified it. Only then did he retrieve the now somewhat unfamiliar word from his long-lost memory.

"grim Reaper?"

[How could there be a god of death in the Great Hollow Forest? Moreover, there is no team emblem on the arm, but there is a word embroidered on the inside of the collar, and it says... Saito? ]

[Shinigami are no longer divided by squads, but are now distinguished by surnames? 】

Stark tilted his head in confusion, before the area around him became a restricted zone for life, he hadn't left Hueco Mundo for a long time, let alone seen the god of death.

He couldn't remember whether the last time he met the Grim Reaper was two hundred or three hundred years ago. The Grim Reaper ran away as soon as he saw him. He didn't think much of the pitiful spiritual power on the other party and didn't chase him. Naturally, he didn't have the opportunity to check whether the other party was wearing the team emblem or whether there were any words embroidered on the collar. He couldn't be sure whether this change had already happened.

[The world is really changing constantly. The Thirteenth Division has been reorganized. I really want to go to Soul Society to see it myself. I hope this blue crystal can really help me find an opportunity for change.]

Shaking his head, Stark no longer delved into the reason why the Grim Reaper appeared in the Great Hollow Forest. He picked up the three Grim Reapers and their Zanpakuto on the ground, intending to take them back with Vastrod.

Although the message on the ground only mentioned that Hollows should be used as ingredients, I think it should be for the same reason as not mentioning whether Achukas can be used as an ingredient. It’s just that Killian, who created the formula, didn’t have the opportunity to try it with the Grim Reaper.

Now that I have encountered it, I might as well burn it as material.

Soon, a Vastod and three Grim Reapers appeared next to a hill of Achucas. Stark nodded in satisfaction at the results of his hard work.

In order to minimize variables and avoid failure, Stark specifically moved all the materials back to the big pit in Gu Shi’s camp, intending to use this pit for preparation.

It is not difficult to use the virtual flash to blow a hole in the ground and burn it on the spot, but who knows if the formation of blue crystals also has requirements for the environment, maybe it can only be successful in a specific location? It is better to be safe.

Taking a deep breath, Stark solemnly grabbed an Achukas and threw it into the pit. He ignited it through the friction of spiritual pressure, then grabbed a stone nearby to cover the pit and stepped on it to ensure that the environment in the pit was a perfect "closed environment".

Soon, as the spiritual flame burned, the spiritual power in Yachukas' body began to be released rapidly. As a mid-level Great Void, the spiritual power contained in this body that was only more than five meters long was huge enough to be described as enormous. A little bit of it was released and it filled up the big pit and began to violently impact the huge rock above that served as a lid.
