“Could it be…” Kisuke Urahara pondered for a moment, then shook his head, believing that a conclusion could not be drawn so simply. “The sample size is still too small. We should collect more samples before making a final decision.”
He created an instrument that could detect such samples and planned to visit Rukongai to see if he could find similar samples.
...
Two weeks later, the Invisible Empire returned to peace.
The collapse of the hunting grounds became a popular topic of conversation among the Quincy.
There were quite a few survivors who emerged from the hunting grounds, and some of them, including Quincy, saw the arrow that July had shot.
July's deeds quickly spread throughout the invisible empire.
However, July paid no attention to these little incidents and continued to teach her disciples in Litoto's courtyard.
With July joining the team, Ishida Sogen and others temporarily maintained a fragile balance with Yhwach's personal guard.
Hasward seems to want to maintain the appearance of order and has not taken any new actions for the time being.
The system panel also refreshed with a new batch of cultivation guidance tasks, so July was happy to continue teaching her disciples here.
Minina and Gatis have been promoted in rank and no longer need to serve at the grassroots level, so they have more time to train with their teacher.
boom--
July exchanged blows with Minina, once again blocking Minina's side kick.
It was as if he had anticipated Minina's movements, and each time he struck out, he was a little faster than Minina, blocking the path of her kick.
In July, based on the characteristics of each disciple, the teaching of them had different focuses.
In July, he received an advanced training quest from Minina.
Minina loves physical combat and is very strong, so in July, she decided to teach her 'Instant Hurricane'.
'Instant Rage' allows Minina's power talent to be brought into full play.
However, to practice 'Instant Harassment', one must first learn some related basic fighting techniques.
With the blessing of 'patient guidance', the already talented Minina learned very quickly, and within a few days she was playing quite well.
When Minina saw that the teacher had grabbed her boot, she took advantage of the momentum, turned to the side, and kicked with her other foot.
In July, she struck again, catching Minina's other kicking foot and spinning her around quickly.
"what!!!"
Minina spun in the air.
After spinning around a dozen times at an extremely fast speed, July threw her off.
Minina was dizzy and disoriented, unable to regain her balance, and fell to the ground.
Minina lay on the ground in a starfish position for a while, and only stood up again after the dizziness subsided.
“Every attack was blocked by the teacher in advance. It felt like my movements were all read.”
"Your speed is not fast enough. Using physical techniques in front of me will naturally leave you with many openings. Next, I will teach you a move that can increase your speed."
At the same time, July's true form arrived at the courtyard of the First Division's barracks.
He and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni discussed important matters in the tea room.
"really?"
After listening to July's account, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni frowned deeply.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Shikari Nanatsuki, it's just that the information Shikari Nanatsuki provided was too astonishing.
"Seriously, I would never joke about something this important."
July nodded seriously.
He came here today to discuss the Invisible Empire with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
Chapter 346 Advancement
“I used my shadow abilities to control the spirit puppets and infiltrated the depths of the shadows, where I discovered the Quincy’s lair, the invisible empire hidden in the shadow space.”
"According to my investigation, there is a prophecy circulating in the Wandenreich: Yhwach, the Quincy King, will regain his heartbeat in 900 years, his sanity in 90 years, his power in 9 years, and the world in 9 days."
"Yhwabach is merely asleep; he is not truly dead!"
In July, he selectively revealed some information to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
He is now basically certain that the previous Quincy War and the recent Sternritter selection were both aimed at weakening the Quincy, allowing their power to return to Yhwach, and promoting Yhwach's revival.
Yhwach saw his future a thousand years ago.
After leading the Quincy of the Land of Light in an attack on Soul Society, he was defeated by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and fell into a deep sleep.
After that, he will take 900 years to regain his heartbeat, 90 years to regain his sanity, 9 years to regain his power, and 9 days to regain the world.
Everything he made before falling into a deep sleep followed this script.
However, July has already had a profound impact on the world, and the current trajectory can be said to be completely different.
In the original timeline, there was no second Quincy extermination operation, and the original Quincy extermination operation did not occur at the correct time, but rather many years earlier.
Although Yhwach had fallen into a deep sleep, he noticed the abnormal frequency of the power return and forcibly woke up for a moment to have Haschwalth help him recover his power.
It is now impossible to accurately predict when Yhwach will recover.
Although they had successfully thwarted one of the Royal Guard's attempts to help Yhwach regain his power, the Royal Guard would certainly not give up.
The Royal Guard is not just Haschwald and Gerald. He and Ishida Sogen and others may not be able to handle the Royal Guard's next operation. Sooner or later, the Royal Guard will still have to take action against the Quincy to help Yhwach regain his power.
Therefore, in July, he simply told Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni that Yhwach was not completely dead.
“Yhwach… has actually built an invisible empire in the shadow of Seireitei.”
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni remembers that he burned Yhwach to ashes at the time, but now it seems that there was another reason behind it.
“That kind of prophecy…” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni frowned. “It seems Yhwach is still up to no good and is still dreaming of ruling the world after his resurrection!”
“Moreover, he’s living in the shadow of Seireitei. If we let him go unchecked, he’ll definitely become a huge threat in the future.” July nodded. “We need to strike first, catching him off guard!”
Yhwach's goal is to destroy the Pact of the Three Realms and rebuild a new world, a world in which there is no place for Death, and he is in natural conflict with Death, with no room for reconciliation between the two.
"Can you bring other people into the Unseen Empire?"
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni asked the question.
"If I use my shadow abilities... the stronger the spiritual pressure I bring into the shadow space, the heavier the burden on me will be, so I can't bring a large army of Shinigami into there."
July shook her head. "However, I have obtained the key to open the spatial passage, but... I don't have complete access to open the passage yet. But since I already have the key, I believe that as long as the Technology Development Bureau is given some time, they can crack the key's access."
The Invisible Empire operates under a closed management system, with significant restrictions on the entry and exit of personnel.
The key to the Sun Gate obtained in July can only allow a limited number of people to enter and exit the Unseen Empire. To fully open the passage to the Sun Gate, authorization from Hasward is required.
However, this was not a problem for the Technology Development Bureau, as Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi were both very good at this kind of hacking work.
"That's good." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded. "The Royal Guard and the Sternritter you just mentioned are quite strong and should indeed be taken seriously. The Gotei 13 also need some time to make adequate preparations and minimize casualties."
"Based on the intelligence I've gathered these past few days, this Quincy war is very likely to have been orchestrated by Yhwach's personal guard."
July paused, then continued, "I suspect it might be related to Yhwach's resurgence. There's a rumor within the Knights that Yhwach can reclaim power from deceased Quincy..."
Therefore... if we attack the Unown, we must consider the possibility of Yhwach's resurgence, and this possibility is not small.
If the Shinigami and the Quincy clash, there will definitely be many casualties, and Yhwach may very well be revived during the war.
"It's alright." A terrifying aura emanated from Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's eyes. "I'll just kill this defeated opponent myself."
...
A few days later, Ishida Sogen came to Litoto's shop to find July.
"Kurosaki, your disciples have quite a bit of talent." Ishida Sogen glanced at Litoto and the others and noticed that they were all engaged in blood decoration and had already achieved some results.
"They're working really hard," July nodded gently. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
His personal relationship with Ishida Sogen was so-so; he would never come to see him unless it was something important.
“Hasward has a new trick up his sleeve.” Ishida Muneaki’s face darkened. “He seems to be planning to use the same old trick again, sending soldiers into the real world. He did it last time, and not many of those soldiers made it back.”
After the Sternritter selection incident, Ishida Sogen could guess that the previous batch of soldiers sent to the mortal world were deliberately sent to their deaths.
The fact that those soldiers suddenly clashed with death is probably also related to Haschward.
"Then what are you going to do?"
July's expression shifted slightly; this was actually good news for Death.
Although the current Wandenreich is not as strong as it is later, many of the captains on the Shinigami's side are still relatively young and their combat power has not yet reached its limit.
If the Quincy can be divided, the Shinigami's casualties can be reduced.
"Of course, we can't let this happen again!" Ishida Muneaki exclaimed indignantly. "What's the difference between this and sending soldiers to their deaths?"
"Kurosaki, I need your help..." Ishida Sogen pleaded earnestly.
“The Quincy is not just Haschward and Gerald, right? Can we really stand up to Haschward on our own? Right now, it’s only because Haschward still wants to maintain the appearance of order that he hasn’t personally attacked the soldiers.” July was not optimistic about Ishida Muneaki’s resistance, and from the perspective of the Shinigami, he actually preferred to divide the Quincy.
“I understand…” Ishida Muneaki frowned, unable to stand by and watch so many soldiers go to their deaths in the real world, “but I can’t do nothing.”
“We can think about it from a different angle,” July said with a smile. “If you lead your soldiers to blend in with humans and don’t gather together to form Quincy villages, the Grim Reapers won’t send out their army to wipe you out, right?”
Chapter 347 Nel's Growth
"Great idea!" Ishida Sogen's eyes lit up. He was instantly impressed by July's suggestion, which was a very feasible one.
“Without the destruction of Quincy villages and towns, it’s naturally difficult to have large-scale conflicts. As long as you don’t hunt Hollows frequently, the Shinigami won’t bother with you,” July said with a smile.
He suggested that Ishida Sogen should first submit to Haschwalth, and then, once the Quincy arrived in the human world, he should lead them to integrate into human society and break them up into smaller groups.
“I’ll go tell Hasward right away. Thank you, Kurosaki!” Ishida Munen nodded repeatedly.
"He should thank us." July thought to herself as she watched Ishida Sogen's figure hurriedly leave.
Once the Shinigami are ready, they will attack the Wandenreich. The Quincy who remain in the Wandenreich will face certain death, while those who leave with Ishida Sogen might have a chance to integrate into human society and survive.
After thinking about it for a while, Qi Yue returned to the courtyard and told her disciples about it.
The Invisible Empire will become a battlefield in the future, so it would be inappropriate to leave a few disciples here.
“I just received word that the Sternritter plans to send another batch of soldiers to the mortal realm,” July said.
"Hasward...is he planning to send soldiers to their deaths again!" Bambieta gritted her teeth at this; Hasward, who had silenced the prisoners, was the murderer of her family.
During this time, July also revealed some information about Yhwach to her disciples. They already knew that Haschwalth's "layoffs" were to allow the Quincy King to be revived ahead of schedule.
“This time, Ishida Muneaki and I plan to integrate the Quincy into the human world. Without Quincy villages, it will be difficult for Haschwald to instigate large-scale conflicts.” July did not intend to let her disciples stay here and continued, “Haschwald is trying to reduce its personnel, and it is not safe to stay in the Wandenreich any longer. You will also have to go to the human world.”
"Bambi and I are going to the real world too?" Litoto scratched her face. "But Bambi and I aren't soldiers yet..."
"Don't worry about that, I'll get you out of here," July said.
"Then I need to pack my things." Litoto thought that there were still many supplies in the store, and she couldn't let them go to someone else.
“I’m going to spend all my merits!” Minina raised her hand and said.
“I also have merits that I haven’t used up, and I can’t let them go to waste.” Jadis stroked her chin.
"Let's go shopping this afternoon!" Minina felt all the fatigue from her training vanish. "Before we leave, we must spend all our merit points!"
......
Shichiru arrived in Hueco Mundo to check on Nel and Harribel's training progress.
They have been in Hueco Mundo for over twenty years. During this time, July often came to Hueco Mundo to guide them, and now they have all grown a lot.
"The teacher is here!"
Nilu pounced on her, her smile as bright as ever, like the warm sun in spring.
"I heard you've made a lot of progress, so I came to check on your cultivation progress."
July caught Nel when she lunged at him.
In fact, he already knew that Nel had improved before he came to Hueco Mundo.
Because a message related to Nil popped up on the system panel:
