Chapter 1465: Soul Society

Compared to finding the violator and completing the main mission, the first thing Su Xiao needed to do was to confirm his own location.

Taking out a dozen needles, some of these needles were trembling up and down, while others were spinning like windmills.

Seeing the reaction of the needles, Su Xiao determined that he was not in the real world of the Bleach world. He had actually guessed this point when he saw those old residential buildings before.

Secondly, Su Xiao was not in Hueco Mundo. In other words, he was very likely directly teleported to Soul Society, the plane where Shinigami lived.

【Prompt: Remaining time for Kurosaki Ichigo to invade Soul Society, 7 natural days. To protect some fourth-tier contractors, the Hunter cannot reach the real world within 7 natural days.】

This time Su Xiao understood what was going on. It turned out to be a protection mechanism, and as a reward, he was directly teleported to Soul Society.

But one point surprised Su Xiao, which was that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu were actually in the real world. Through the adventure group channel, Su Xiao learned that this dog and cow were already having a blast in the real world.

With Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's current abilities, fourth-tier contractors really couldn't do anything to it, not to mention Amu's assistance.

Su Xiao's team split into three paths. Su Xiao was in Soul Society, Benny was exploring treasures (stealing treasures) in Soul Society, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu were in the real world.

Sitting up from the big pit in the residential building, Su Xiao walked out of the residential building and found that some civilians had gathered near the residential building, or rather, they were wanderers of Soul Society.

These people were souls in name, but in fact, they also had physical bodies, just like Shinigami.

Shinigami's bodies were composed of spirit particles. They were biological organisms with physical bodies. Except for the basic composition method, their bodies were not much different from humans in essence, just stronger.

"Who is this?"

"Not sure, but the feeling he gives is very strange."

"Don't be nosy. It would be bad if a Shinigami comes."

These wanderers all looked sallow, and their clothes were somewhat old, some even with patches.

The nature of Soul Society should be similar to Heaven or the Pure Land, but in fact, it was not. This place, inhabited by 'soul wanderers', was a huge feudal society, and Shinigami were the rulers of this world.

The entire Soul Society was divided into two parts: the Seireitei in the center, which was the residence of Shinigami, and the Rukongai around the Seireitei. The Rukongai was much larger than the Seireitei, and the number of wanderers was unknown how many times that of Shinigami.

Shinigami's mission was to maintain the balance of order? Of course. What they maintained was not just the balance of the real world—that was just a side task. What they truly needed to maintain was the balance of Soul Society, which was their rule.

Soul Society needed these wanderers as the most basic labor force. If the Hollows that these wanderers turned into were all killed, day after day, Soul Society would have no basic labor force.

There was a group of people who advocated completely exterminating Hollows to solve the threat of Hueco Mundo to the real world, but Shinigami flatly refused.

Shinigami's argument was that Hollows were also souls, and souls would reincarnate. But did reincarnation really exist in the Shinigami world?

What was ridiculous was that Shinigami, who evolved from souls, would also die. After death, they turned into spirit particles and were absorbed by Soul Society, instead of going to reincarnate. According to Shinigami's theory, they should reincarnate, instead of completely dissipating.

So, the wanderers of Soul Society would not reincarnate at all. After entering Soul Society, they turned into another life form, thus living here.

Without the concept of reincarnation, this was very interesting. The theory of Quincy actually wouldn't endanger the real world. Even if all Hollows were eliminated, the real world wouldn't have any problems.

However, the Quincy who proposed this theory were attacked by Shinigami and were almost exterminated.

At the moment, Shinigami were the righteous side. Of course they were righteous, because they won. As winners, they only needed to rule the wanderers of Soul Society, without labor, and even Soul Society, which couldn't guarantee food and clothing, was it really a Pure Land for wanderers?

Most Shinigami didn't know these things; they were just obeying the orders of Seireitei.

Among the many Shinigami high-ups, two people didn't look favorably on this 'ecological development'. One was Urahara Kisuke, and the other was Aizen Sosuke.

Before Aizen was defeated, he once said this to Urahara Kisuke: "A person with such talent as you, why submit to that kind of thing? I despise you, Urahara Kisuke."

Su Xiao thought of this sentence of Aizen, and a smile appeared on his face, because he felt Aizen was very interesting. Simply put, Aizen was actually an insurgent army among Shinigami. His purpose was twofold: one was to reach the peak himself, and the other was to overthrow the current ruling system of Soul Society. After all, this feudal mechanism would have problems sooner or later.

Unfortunately, in the face of the power of Soul Society, Aizen was not strong enough.

The wanderers near the residential building gathered more and more. This place was not a place to stay for long. Su Xiao jumped easily to the top of the residential building and disappeared after a few leaps.

Half an hour later, on a two-story wooden building, Su Xiao had some understanding of the Rukongai area on the outskirts of Soul Society. These houses were composed of spirit particles, or rather, spirit particles were one of the most important components of Soul Society.

The technology of Soul Society was very backward. At least in the Rukongai area, he didn't see the existence of electricity, or even steam engines.

These wanderers were turned from souls in the real world. They were modern people before they died, but after arriving in Soul Society, they couldn't develop electricity. This was a point worth thinking about.

Was it that the rule power of Soul Society didn't allow the existence of electricity, or was it that Shinigami didn't allow the modernization and informatization of the Rukongai area? After all, being backward was more conducive to rule.

Su Xiao's goal was the Seireitei in the central area of Soul Society. No matter which faction he wanted to join, he should first arrive there.

After traveling for a few hours, an open space appeared in front of Su Xiao. The buildings in the Rukongai area stopped abruptly here. On the other side of the open space were large, tall, and neat buildings, which were simply two worlds from the Rukongai area.

Su Xiao jumped down from the residential building. According to his judgment, crossing this open space, the area in front was the Seireitei, which was the power center of Shinigami, where the Gotei 13 resided. They were responsible for 'guarding' Soul Society.

Su Xiao was very curious about how Shinigami would treat him, an outsider—imprisonment, winning over, or execution on the spot? Su Xiao felt that the possibilities of the first two were greater.

Just as he stepped into the open space, Su Xiao heard a whistling sound from the air.

Boom, boom, boom...

Tall stone walls fell one after another, smoke and dust rose. When the smoke and dust dissipated, a row of tall stone walls appeared in front of Su Xiao, blocking Su Xiao's way. This was composed of Sekkiseki, which could isolate spirit particles and even eliminate weak spirit particles.

Rumble...

A door between the stone walls rose, and a tall figure walked out from the stone gate. He had two giant blade axes inserted in his waist. This was the gatekeeper of the White Road Gate, Jidanbo.

"Ha~"

The rough-looking Jidanbo yawned.

"Who disturbed my sleep."

Jidanbo's gaze swept over, and finally locked on Su Xiao.

"Little dwarf, you..."

Whoosh!

A blood-red aura spread with Su Xiao as the center. Jidanbo's muscles tightened, and that sleepy expression disappeared, immediately becoming spirited.

"Go and notify the people inside, just say... someone has come to 'surrender'." ===== CHAPTER 1466 =====
