In order to avoid mentioning anything related to the "Soul King", Urahara still held back - the original "Soul Hunting" experiment was actually to "artificially create a Fullbringer"!

only……

A true "Fullbringer" derives his power from the Soul King, and is a "part" of the Soul King. He is not only powerful, but also indestructible. Unless the power from the Soul King is taken away, even if the host dies, this power will follow his soul and appear in Soul Society, or reincarnate again. It will never disappear without a reason...

However, as a "replica", the power of "Soul Hunter" does not have such eternity. Although reincarnation may occur occasionally, it is not stable. It may be completely wiped out after the host dies.

The Ahong that Ichigo saved is the "new" Soul Hunter, and the youngest Soul Hunter at present. It has been a long time since a new Soul Hunter was born...

In Urahara's shop, Ahong woke up soon again - Urahara could probably guess why his injuries healed so quickly, but since Kurosaki Masaki didn't say it herself, he naturally didn't say it out loud.

"Ah Hong, why are you running... Do you know that those guys are looking for you? You..." Ichigo was speaking when he saw Ah Hong holding his pendant and looking at Ichigo warily.

The Ahong in front of him looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, about the same age as Ichigo's sister. At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary teenager - of course, this was just an appearance, and he was actually probably much older than that.

"We are not your enemies, even though... he is a Death God and I am a Quincy." Yulong adjusted his glasses and said with a sense of evil.

"You are the Quincy? You haven't all died yet?" Ah Hong looked at Yulong in surprise.

Ishida Uryu: ...

This kid's words are a bit unpleasant to the ear, but...

Yulong noticed his expression!

"It seems that you are the Soul Hunter who is still loyal to the Xingtian Dynasty?" Yulong said sharply - because Ah Hong obviously has no hostility towards the Quincy.

And Urahara just said that the Star Dynasty was allied with the Quincy at that time.

"Ahong must not have been born at that time!" Ichigo corrected.

Yu Long said as a matter of course: "No, even if he was not born a thousand years ago, since he can live to this day and has the ability of a [Puppet], he must have been found and guided by other soul hunters. The soul hunter who guided him must be the one who did not rebel, and the one chasing him must be the other one..."

Hearing the words "another faction" and "hunting down", Ah Hong reacted and said hurriedly: "Mother! We have to inform Mother quickly, Mother is in danger!"

"Mother?" Ichigo was puzzled - this kind of address was quite rare nowadays.

"Don't be anxious. Who is your mother? Is she also a soul hunter?" Yu Long seemed to be concerned, but in fact he was trying to gather information.

"Didn't they say Soul Hunters can't have children? Of course..." Ichigo denied it directly.

Yulong glanced at him - You still don't believe that the manager would lie, right?

Ah Hong interrupted at this time: "Well! Ah Niang is a soul hunter...but Ah Niang is not my mother, I am... an orphan! When I was six years old, Ah Niang took me away from the orphanage...Ah Niang is in danger!" Ah Hong obviously had no time to recall.

"Don't worry! We will save you and your mother! Tell us what happened first?" Ichigo said hurriedly to comfort her.

Hong still looked wary, but...he trusted Ichigo a little more, and now told his story.

……

On the other hand, in Soul Society, Shihouin Ichiryu ended his nearly one-month vacation and returned to Seireitei.

A month had passed since the Aizen Rebellion, and the chaos in the Gotei 13 had gradually subsided.

The chaos among the nobles had been quelled earlier, and the major families that had been damaged had basically completed the transfer of power...

The Soul Society is very large. Since the "Rakshasa Invasion" incident, most of the members of the Gotei 13 have not seen the figure of Rakshasa for a whole week, not to mention the "Aizen Rebellion" that broke out and ended suddenly. For most of the members, it was just "hearsay".

However, as the largest and most authoritative publication at this time, Seireitei Communication played its due role and assumed its due responsibilities!

Hisagi Shuhei reported the original situation of the incident truthfully and quickly, and after adding Ichiryu's approval, it was obviously guiding - Ichiryu could not do anything else in the "present world", but he could still review the original manuscripts sent to him through the "pager machine".

After a month of reporting, everyone basically understood what was going on...

In short, Aizen Sosuke, Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname have been lurking for a long time and plotting rebellion. They usually wear masks and deceive most of the captains and soldiers!

The execution of Rukia was also planned by Aizen. Fortunately, there were a few Shinigami who recognized his true face and resolutely fought against him, not backing down because of the misunderstandings of colleagues and some superiors...

And it just so happened that at this time there were "outside helpers" who dealt a blow to Aizen and his subordinates. Although they were targeted by some captains who were unaware of the truth, they still achieved important results.

This is why, even though the higher authorities failed to see through Aizen's conspiracy, the losses from Aizen's rebellion were not great and the consequences were controllable.

At the same time, the report also emphasized the self-examination and external review of the supervisory forces...

From this, everyone can see how hard the Supervisory Force has dealt with themselves. It is not only related to the Aizen incident, but also all the criticized incidents in the past, which are quickly cut off and judged!

On the contrary, in terms of external inspections, the brand-new inspection team seemed very restrained. They only arrested a few hundred people, and confirmed that most of these people were more or less confirmed to have been under illusions, so there would be reductions in sentencing. Aizen certainly had many minions over the years. For example, the ones who secretly attacked the qualified "Zheng" in Rukongai were his minions...

However, these minions basically have no idea of ​​Aizen’s true purpose, nor do they know how big his ambition is. They are just ordinary villains who are being used.

Because the reports did not mention much about the nobles, and only briefly mentioned the matters of the Forty-Six Chambers, and only briefly mentioned the situation of the Golden Seal Noble Council, the nobles had no objection to these reports.

Captain Yamamoto is still "playing ostrich". Although he feels frustrated about being "helped by humans", he is not afraid of others talking about it. He just can't get along with himself. Naturally, he doesn't care too much about "Seireitei Communication".

Kyoraku did notice that Seireitei Communication was setting the pace, but he didn't do anything special and just continued to observe.

Yilong returned to the squadron's dormitory after a long absence. After officially starting work, the first thing he did was...

"Ohuo Tiger, you must find the exile data that was directly introduced into the 9th Division in the early days of the establishment of the Gotei 13, as well as all the data related to the 'Seireitei Research Institute'." Ichiryu ordered directly.

101. Chapter 101 Hidden History

101.

2023-09-05

Seven years before the Holy War, the war between the Quincies and the Shinigami had already broken out for three years...

At that time, under the all-out offensive of Yhwach, the Seireitei nobles who were at a disadvantage finally bowed their heads and invited the head coach of Genjijuku, "Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni", who had been suppressed by them, to form a killer group and serve as the "captain-in-chief" to fight against the Quincy Legion!

In the following years, Yamamoto visited the ancient nobles including the Shifengyuan family, and the butchering villains including Unohana Yachiryu, convinced and recruited twelve peerless strongmen, and established the "Gotei 13"...

Of course, the nobles of Seireitei would not place all their hopes on Yamamoto, and they also had other plans in place.

For example, the Seireitei Research Institute's "Artificial Fullbringer" project...

If successful, powerful Fullbringers will be "manufactured" in large quantities.

Although Yhwach is powerful, there are enough second-tier... or even second-tier Fullbringers who can always kill him.

As for those who are weaker... Even if we can't deal with them, it would be good to be able to fight against the Quincy army!

But the plan ultimately failed...

The failed experiment caused a huge explosion in Seireitei, resulting in the destruction of one tenth of Seireitei!

However, it cannot be said that this plan was completely ineffective. During the explosion, a portion of the experimental material flowed into the "real world" and merged with the souls of humans in the real world, allowing these people to possess powers similar to those of "Fullbringers".

In fact, in principle, it is almost exactly the same as the appearance of the "Fullbringer" - except that the "Fullbringer" is a genuine fragment of the power of the Soul King...

The "Soul Hunters" are just imitations. Not only do their powers not have the characteristics of eternal indestructibility, but their power levels are generally inferior. More importantly, they have to devour souls to maintain their existence...

During this period, problems also occurred in the world.

Among the human race, a dynasty emerged that unified the world, and... this dynasty fully joined forces with the Quincies!

From the Soul Society's perspective, this is not surprising. After all, compared to the Shinigami, the Quincies still retain their kitsune bodies and are inherently closer to kitsune humans.

Moreover, humans who cannot control spirit particles and can only control machines are not a threat in the eyes of the God of Death - machine weapons cannot harm spiritual life at all, while spiritual life can easily destroy machine bodies by manipulating spirit particles!

Even though the "present world" serves as the support of the Three Realms, powerful beings, whether they are the God of Death or the Quincy, dare not use all their strength here, especially in non-heavy spiritual areas. They cannot use all their strength even if they want to. However, the gap in combat power between spiritual life and instrumental humans is still very obvious.

but……

The Xingtian Dynasty took the initiative at this time!

This short-lived dynasty, before the holy war between the Shinigami and the Quincies, was conducting various experiments on the spiritual level, which allowed them to master some of the secrets of the spirit particles...

At that time, the Soul Society did not have much observation of the real world, and the information was often delayed by dozens or even hundreds of years. They probably thought that the Instrument Civilization was ultimately just a "way station" of life and could not possibly turn the world upside down.

In fact, if there had not been the accident in the "Soul Hunting Experiment", it would have been difficult for the Xingtian Dynasty to transform these "experimental results" into combat power at the lepton level. It would have been just a waste of manpower!

However, at this time, the experiment of Seireitei failed, and the "Fullbringing replica" was released into the world...

The Xingtian Dynasty immediately put its knowledge into practice and detected these "Soul Hunters" at the first opportunity. It was even able to guide the birth of "Soul Hunters" to a certain extent.

Hundreds and thousands of "Soul Hunters" also pledged their loyalty to the Xingtian Dynasty...

Because the "real world" is not the main battlefield between the Shinigami and the Quincies, both sides will not send too strong forces to the "real world". For a time, the actions of the Star Sky Dynasty determined the trend of the real world battlefield.

However, with the establishment of the Gotei 13, the situation of the Shinigami in the Soul Society battlefield gradually improved, and...

At this time, Tsunayashiro came up with a clever plan!

The God of Death used Ran Dao, the leader of the experiment, as an intermediary to contact the "Soul Hunters" and told them that Soul Society and Seireitei were their "home".

It is true that the "Soul Hunters" can only exert their strongest power in the Soul Society, and the high-level spiritual environment will mean that they no longer need to absorb human souls to survive.

In the end, most of the "Soul Hunters" betrayed the Star Dynasty and cooperated with the God of Death.

In the human world, they fought against the Quincies and the few Soul Hunters who were still loyal to the Star Dynasty. While they won, they also lost most of their compatriots. Afterwards, they participated in the decisive battle with the Quincies in Soul Society, serving as cannon fodder and consuming part of Yhwach's cannon fodder...

However, this became their only memory in Soul Society.

After the Holy War, the nobles of Seireitei refused to recognize the conditions originally promised to the Soul Hunters, banned the Soul Hunters from entering Seireitei, and even expelled them from Soul Society.

The remaining "Soul Hunters" can only stay in the real world, and their power gradually deteriorates...

Lando was dissatisfied with the deception of the Seireitei nobles and argued for the "Soul Hunters", but the result was that she herself was expelled for a thousand years!

When this happened, the Gotei 13 had just been established. It could be said that it was just a prototype. It did not have the power it has now. It was just a violent group that "fought against the Quincies"...

Therefore, even Yamamoto did not know much about this.

Fortunately, after the war, when the Gotei 13 gradually expanded their power, the 9th Squad, a "prison squad" with the responsibility of guarding prisons and supervising sentences, took over some previous files. Only then did Ichiryu find out about Randao.

"Swallowing Abyss... Well, the one thousand year sentence is almost up." Yilong found the place where Lan Dao was exiled, and at the same time realized that the experimental records of that year should have been tampered with.

Ichiryu was very clear about what happened in the human world back then, and even knew every detail that was tampered with by the nobles of the Soul Society. However, Ichiryu knew less about what happened in the Soul Society at that time.

If you want to know the truth, there is a simple way - the Great Spiritual Book Corridor!

However, although the "Great Spiritual Book Corridor" saves trouble, if you want to know something, you have to pay the corresponding price, or bear the corresponding backlash.

Yilong didn't think that some trivial matters were worth a trip to the "Great Spiritual Book Corridor".

At this moment, two things were lingering in Yilong's mind - one was that Suzuki went to the Hueco Mundo, and the other was that the Soul Hunters began to take action. These two things were both related to himself!

"Wei Huo Hu, Ji Shui Bao, Fang Ri Tu, I will give you each a task. Remember to arrange it properly and not leak it..." When Yilong opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

At the same time, Yamamoto, who was drinking tea, suddenly used too much force with his hands and broke the handle of the teapot...

Yamamoto frowned, then said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I last took action..."

It was indeed a long time since he had fought seriously, and it could even be said that he had neglected his training - after all, his spiritual pressure had already reached the limit of a death god, and training would not improve it much.

Previously at the "Hill of Double Death", Yamamoto had attacked two students, not very seriously, but at least he had exerted some strength.

Perhaps because of this, his daily control over strength has become somewhat unstable.

At the same time, Obihuo Tiger was looking for someone, and near Tsunayashiro's house, they were discussing the "disappearance" of Chojiro Suzuki and the suspected entry into the Hueco Mundo. Mimizu Leopard and Fang Hitu went to the 13th Division's barracks, and then split up and acted according to Ichiryu's instructions, targeting Sentaro Kotsubaki and Kiyon Kotetsu respectively...

102.

2023-09-05

August 997, 9 of the Holy War calendar.

Ichiryu Shihouin, the captain of the Supervisory Corps, was summoned to see the Forty-Sixth Division. Although Ichiryu was still the captain of the Ninth Division, the identity of the summons was indeed "captain of the Supervisory Corps", which showed that it was probably about this matter.

"Huh? Captain-General? Why are you here too?" Yilong saw old man Yamamoto outside the underground meeting hall and immediately showed surprise.

Next to him is the third seat of the 13th Division, the broom-haired Xiao Tsubaki Sentaro, but he is just a third seat, so it is normal for Yilong to ignore him.

However, when Kotsubaki Sentaro saw that it was Shihouin Ichiryu, he immediately looked solemn - he had vaguely guessed why he was urgently transported and why this guy Shihouin was here!

Not long ago, he was urgently summoned by the messenger of the 46th Chamber, and he didn't even have time to say hello to Captain Ukitake - Ukitake has been bedridden for eight days out of ten recently, and Xiaochun didn't want to disturb him easily. After all, Ukitake was stabbed a month ago, and he teamed up with Kyōraku to activate [Homecoming], and he stayed in bed for a long time afterwards.
