The white god is silent, the black demon roars.
The blades of the Moon Slash and the Extinction Cross Blade clashed fiercely, while the Crescent Moon Sky Slash and the arrows of the Great Sage Bow were evenly matched.
Every time Yhwach tries to use his "omniscience and omnipotence" to break Zangetsu in Ichigo's hand, the divine sword will deliver a heavy blow to Yhwach from an unbelievable place.
"What 'omniscient and omnipotent'? Don't underestimate the bond between me and Ichigo!" Ichigo roared angrily.
The divine blade responded to its brother's call, and the two auras complemented each other, climbing to yet another peak.
Yhwach was furious, but the "omniscient and omnipotent" saw no trace of this scene.
"What kind of bondage? This artificial creation of humankind dares to offend the true God?"
Yhwach no longer used his "omniscience and omnipotence," but instead frantically unleashed the various abilities of the Quincy to clash with Ichigo.
Unseen by anyone, the Soul King silently watched the battle between his two "sons." He had to admit that Loran's idea was ingenious; he had maximized the advantages of the Zanpakuto system.
For a Shinigami, a Zanpakuto is a part of the Shinigami's soul, but the Zanpakuto is not the Shinigami himself. They are neither of one mind nor of the same body, but from the perspective of the outside world, they can be regarded as the same organic whole.
Based on this characteristic, Loran designed a weapon and amplified it to the extreme using the sacred script "Aegis".
For Ichigo, he is the "divine power of protection," while the divine sword is also the "divine weapon of protection."
Ichigo is the "name," and the divine sword is the "weapon."
Only with a "name" can a "vessel" be complete.
With a "vessel", a "name" has power.
Ichigo and Ichiyū are two sides of the same coin, but from Yhwach's perspective, they are not completely identical variables.
Yhwach's "omniscience and omnipotence" are inferior to the true Soul King, which means that whenever Yhwach tries to observe and determine a certain future of Ichigo, a part of Ichigo is not within Yhwach's observation.
At this moment, Ichigo, who is outside the observation system, can deliver a powerful blow to Yhwach, interrupting Yhwach's actions regarding Ichigo's future timeline.
Similarly, when Yhwach attempts to observe and select a broken timeline for Ichigo, part of Ichigo is not within Yhwach's perspective, allowing him to strike Yhwach from outside the observation system.
To put it bluntly, Yhwach's observational skills are insufficient to encompass the unique yet unified existence of Ichigo and Ichiyaku within his complete perspective, which is why he repeatedly suffers setbacks.
“Even though Yhwach’s ‘omniscience and omnipotence’ has been sealed away, the power and skills He has accumulated over so many years, and the remnants of my remains, are still not to be underestimated.” The Spirit King observed silently.
“This is my second design for Yi Yong,” Loran chuckled softly in the shadows.
Yhwach was losing more and more as the fight went on. Ichigo's growth rate was too astonishing. He found it hard to imagine how someone at their level could improve so quickly.
Habach realized that not only was the opponent getting stronger, but he was also constantly getting weaker!
That kid Ichigo keeps stealing his power during the battle.
"Unforgivable!"
Yhwach was enraged. This world existed only to be taken by him, and no one had ever dared to plunder his power.
"The ancient Hollow that devours and plunders everything—Isn't that a perfect match for the Steel God who steals power from his enemies?"
When Loran had the two-piece house king Yue, whom he controlled, forge the "Savior God Sword" version of "Zhan Yue," he secretly melted down the "Yi Ji Si Ji Ba" preserved in the Phoenix Palace into it. Loran also imitated the "Usurpation Ring" technique to enhance the plundering ability of this divine sword.
"Ichigo! If you want to gain everything, you will be unable to protect anything! But if you don't want to gain anything, you are destined to lose everything."
"After this battle, you should be able to grasp the right balance."
During the battle, Ichigo suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were the same kind of pupils as Yhwach's.
"I saw it," Ichigo said softly. A dazzling blade of light swept across the sky, and Yhwach was instantly split in two by this strike, just like Yamamoto Genryusai, who was cut in two by him.
"Let's go, let's say our final goodbyes to your eldest son! We're about to transcend this world," Loran said to the Spirit King.
He could sense that an invisible will within the chaos seemed to be enraged, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Afterwards, peace was restored to the Three Realms.
The Kuchiki and Shihouin families joined forces with the new Gotei 13 to spearhead the transformation of Soul Society. They held the Soul King's decree, and a new order was established in the three realms.
The original Spirit King Palace still hangs high, but its master hardly ever lives there anymore. Instead, he resides in the human world and has even married a human woman.
As it turns out, the Spirit King did not need to be imprisoned in the Spirit King Palace indefinitely; it would have been more appropriate for this wedge to be located in the human realm, the foundation of the three realms.
Ichigo, on the contrary, found complete peace. Let hell come if it comes; he could only guarantee that the world would be alright as long as his family lived.
As for what happens after death? Why insist on a second life?
Beyond the chaos, two wills traversed it. The world beyond the chaos was far more vast and wonderful than they had imagined, truly incomparable to the small place of the Three Realms.
"We came to the right place!" On a certain star, Loran transformed into a giant fish, exploring this lost civilization in the deep sea.
Not long ago, the Spirit King parted ways with Him, but Loran didn't care much. Let Him go and have his fun, that unlucky kid who's been kept in prison.
The universe is vast; I hope we'll meet again someday!
Chapter 177 Supernatural Revival: The First Appearance
"My name is You Molan. By the time you read this letter, I will already be dead..."
Loran, with his legs crossed, avoided the bloodstains on the blue and white bedding and lay diagonally on the Simmons bed. A hideous bloodstain was still visible on his neck as he read the strange letter bearing a bloody handprint with great interest.
This time, the target of the attempt to seize the throne was rather special. When Loran tried to seize the throne from him, he was preparing to commit suicide, and the bloodstain on his neck was a mark of the failed suicide attempt.
The target of the robbery is named You Molan, 25 years old. She graduated from university three years ago. Her family was a recipient of land expropriation compensation and is not short of money. Her mother died from a serious illness when You Molan was eight years old, and her father recently passed away from lung cancer. With no one to supervise her and having inherited a large sum of money, You Molan has become a social idler.
He's not exactly a complete social outcast. This guy is quite interested in obscure legends from various places and is actually a small blogger with over 100,000 followers. He usually posts videos of his visits to local communities, so his life isn't entirely idle.
Not long ago, You Molan's college classmate, Li Yong, sent her a message saying that a strangely shaped ancient stele had been unearthed at a construction site his family had contracted, and that it contained some strange information. You Molan immediately perked up; he was most interested in this kind of thing.
However, upon arriving, he learned that Li Yong had died half a month earlier. You Molan felt a chill run down his spine. He had received Li Yong's call a week earlier, meaning that Li Yong had called him almost a week after his death.
You Molan was immediately frightened and returned home. He wasn't the kind of fool in horror movies who "knowingly walks into the tiger's den." He didn't have the courage to verify whether there were really ghosts at work or it was a malicious joke. Either way, it meant that Li Yong's place was not a good place.
He has a large sum of money in his bank account waiting for him to squander, so he can't put himself in danger just because of a little curiosity!
As the saying goes, "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall," You Molan advised herself as she returned to her small villa in the neighboring city.
However, although You Molan did not go to Mingzhi Mountain this time, the tiger from Mingzhi Mountain still found its way to him, and misfortune still befell him.
Every morning when he woke up, he would see a letter like this on his bedside table, with a bloody handprint on it, and it was definitely his handwriting!
The problem was that You Molan had no recollection of ever receiving such letters. He nervously burned the letter, only to find it reappearing on his bedside the next morning.
Left with no other option, You Molan called the police.
But here's the problem: the police didn't show up!
You Molan hid herself in her closed bedroom and waited quietly for the police to arrive, but the police did not see any sign of her until late at night.
You Molan tried to contact acquaintances, but the calls went unanswered. He wanted to break out of the villa and head straight to a crowded place, but the villa's doors and windows were sealed shut by a mysterious force, preventing him from getting out.
Then, You Molan, terrified and delirious, attempted suicide, and then Loran arrived.
As Loran descended, he saw a female ghost trying to enter You Molan's body.
"How dare you try to steal my physical body and dwelling place! You little ghost, you have quite the nerve!"
Lorraine easily dealt with the female ghost, and then came the scene at the beginning.
With Loran's perspective, he could naturally see that this letter was actually just a medium.
“But this level of medium is not something a little ghost like you can create!” Loran looked at the female ghost who was bound hand and foot with ropes of yin energy.
"Come on, let me see your memories!" Loran grabbed the ghost's somewhat illusory soul and delved into her fragmented memories.
A moment later, Loran swallowed a drop of pure soul liquid. The cool sensation nourished his soul; this was the last trace the female ghost left in this world.
"As expected, this kid is just a pawn; the real mastermind has yet to show himself."
"Haha, this is interesting. Let me have some fun with this mastermind." Loran couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes sparkling with excitement, like a child who had discovered a new and exciting toy.
...............
In the dimly lit office of the Director of the Supernatural Bureau of Fuyin City, the atmosphere was oppressive. Director Huang Qiyuan sat at his large desk, his left hand clutching a file tightly, as if it were his last straw. His eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at the file, as if trying to see the secrets hidden within the pages.
He held a cigarette between his fingers, the smoke obscuring his face. With each puff, he inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, the smoke lingering like the sorrow in his heart. The ashtray on the table was overflowing with cigarette butts, as if telling of his anxiety and unease.
Knock knock knock! Suddenly, a soft knock on the door broke the silence in the room.
Huang Qiyuan's body trembled slightly, but his eyes remained fixed on the file. He simply replied, "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in. It was a young woman with a neat ponytail, a tall figure, and a steady gait. Her clothes were simple but very practical, clearly indicating that she was an efficient person.
"Chief, we've found the source of the ghost that reports death!"
Huang Qiyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately stood up from his seat and leaned forward.
"Little Ma, what did you just say? You found the source? Where is it?"
Ma Li, a woman with a single ponytail, handed Huang Qiyuan a file bag. Huang Qiyuan quickly took it, opened it, and took out the reports and photos inside to look at them.
After reading it, Huang Qiyuan gasped in shock.
"Classified as a Grade A ghost!"
"They still have connections with the ghost realm of Niutou Village?"
Huang Qiyuan sat down silently, lost in thought.
Ma Li did not wait impatiently in place; when she first learned of it, she behaved even worse than the bureau chief.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, ghosts are classified into four levels, from lowest to highest: Ding, Bing, Yi, and Jia. Above Jia, there is a "Disaster" level. The destructive power of "Disaster" level ghosts is more terrifying than natural disasters, but the terror of Jia level ghosts should not be underestimated. Since the establishment of the Supernatural Bureau of Fuyin City, only two "Jia" level ghosts have been dealt with, making it only three including this one.
The Fuyin City Supernatural Bureau does not have the capability to handle "Class A" ghosts independently. Each time, it is reported to the provincial government, which then dispatches key personnel from the provincial supernatural affairs department or local supernatural affairs bureaus to assist in the handling. Moreover, this Class A ghost is also related to the Niutou Village ghost realm.
The term "ghost realm" is the definition used by the Great Xia Supernatural Department for a relatively stable settlement formed by a group of ghosts. Logically speaking, it is difficult for ghosts to coexist peacefully, because powerful ghosts can devour weaker ghosts to advance their level. Most ghosts will only fight when they meet, making it difficult to form a stable settlement.
However, the "Ghost Realm" breaks this conventional situation. The ghosts in the Ghost Realm form a balance of mutual restraint, which allows them to exist. However, the Ghost Realm is not absolutely stable. Many times, when the balance is broken, terrifying phenomena such as "Gates of Hell" and "Souls Devoured by a Group of Ghosts" will appear in the Ghost Realm, and it may even give rise to a great ghost of the "Disaster" level.
However, the "Ghost Realm" is very difficult to eradicate. If the living attempt to disrupt the balance of the Ghost Realm, they will inevitably be annihilated by the entire Ghost Realm. The Ghost Realm forms a peculiar field, which strengthens all the ghosts within it. Once the ghosts turn against each other, it will surely cause a huge disaster.
Therefore, once a ghost realm appears, the authorities will first implement large-scale isolation measures, then try to deal with it. If they really can't deal with it, they can only leave it alone and pray that it doesn't give rise to a calamity-level ghost.
Niu Tou Village Ghost Realm is a newly formed ghost realm located at the border of Fu Yin City and Jian Nan City. According to the above observations, the Niu Tou Village Ghost Realm is currently in a stable period of its formation and should not have any ghosts emerging from it to cause trouble.
When did this Class A Death-Slaying Ghost become involved with the ghost realm of Niu Tou Village?
Huang Qiyuan looked at the conclusion section at the end of the report, which read:
"Based on the investigation and research of Dr. Wang Songyang and Researcher Zhang Chaoyang, it can be concluded that the supernatural status of the 'Death-Reporting Ghost' is classified as Level A, belonging to the fusion category of the known ghosts, namely the Chang Ghost and the Commanding Ghost. Based on the analysis of its haunting range, it is determined that the ghost spreads from the Niutou Village Ghost Realm as its center, and there may be a connection with the Niutou Village Ghost Realm. It is recommended to report to the provincial department to request support for further detailed investigation."
Chapter 178 Supernatural Revival: The Qi Family Haunted Building
"Hello everyone, this is your ghost-hunting UP, Ling Miaomiao. Today we're going to visit the famous Qi Family Haunted Building in Fuyin City." A cute and adorable girl is holding a selfie stick and live-streaming from in front of a collapsed wall.
"Here, let's welcome our special guests for today's ghost-hunting program—Brother Long and Sister Quan." Ling Miaomiao introduced the tall and strong Brother Long and the intelligent and beautiful Sister Quan to the viewers in the live broadcast room.
"Brother Long used to be an employee of the Fuyin City Museum, and Sister Quan even participated in the compilation and editing of the Fuyin City local history. They know the local history of Fuyin City like the back of their hand. Why don't we have the two experts introduce the history of the Qijia Ghost Building to us first?"
Sister Quan pushed up her black-rimmed glasses and began to speak first: "Qi Family Haunted Building is one of the famous haunted houses in our Fuyin City. Its legend dates back to the last century, almost 50 years ago."
"The Qi family was a well-known and powerful family in Fuyin City. In the previous dynasty, they produced two Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) and five Juren (successful candidates in the provincial imperial examinations). Even after the overthrow of the imperial system, the Qi family still had considerable influence in the local political and business circles. However, such a glorious family was almost wiped out one night, with only a young girl surviving. After that, the Qi family's haunted building was repeatedly rumored to be haunted. It was later closed by the government and only recently reopened."
Brother Long chimed in, dropping a bombshell: "The only surviving youngest daughter of the Qi family mentioned by Sister Quan is my mother, Ms. Qi Youwei. After the entire Qi family passed away, my mother inherited this ancient building, but after reaching adulthood, she donated it to the government. Ling Miaomiao contacted me this time, probably hoping to achieve a witnessing effect!"
At this moment, the live stream chat was filled with comments.
"Wow, so this handsome guy has this kind of connection with this ancient building!"
"It's a wonderful feeling of witnessing the vicissitudes of history!"
"Ling Miaomiao has really made something of herself, she's actually getting a government job."
"What do you mean by 'getting a government job'? Isn't she just a ghost-hunting YouTuber?"
"I'm outta here. The authorities are extremely strict about censoring these kinds of ghost-hunting programs. They call it ghost-hunting, but it's really just 'Approaching Science'."
"I checked the government's announcement. Qijia Ancient Building was only announced to be open to the public a week ago. Ling Miaomiao's information network is really good!"
"So, Ling Miaomiao must have a powerful background!"
Ling Miaomiao and the others remained silent about the comments in the live chat, even though they all actually had official backgrounds.
In this world where ghosts truly exist, both so-called ghost movies and paranormal investigation programs receive extreme attention from the authorities. Therefore, in the film and entertainment works of this world, ghosts and monsters are ultimately explained as being caused by human interference.
The so-called "Ghost Exploration UP" actually serves a similar purpose to "getting closer to science in a past life." Once the ghosts in a haunted location have been basically cleared out, the authorities will find an opportunity to open it to the public in an orderly manner. This is because, after testing, it seems that introducing people can effectively drive away the remaining ghostly energy and reduce the building's attraction to ghosts.
Therefore, these so-called paranormal investigation UPs and the people who participate in the programs are basically connected with the paranormal bureau. They are media mouthpieces who are secretly funded and hired.
"Alright, without further ado, let's follow in Meow Meow's footsteps and step into this mysterious haunted building to explore the traces of history!"
