Chapter 72: Chapter 36: The Bleach Universe, The Soul King! (Part 2)

Coupling this with the Void Beasts of this world, Alex’s pupils quaked violently. He suddenly remembered a specific person—or rather, a specific god!

Now, Alex was ninety percent certain: this primordial, chaotic world he had entered was none other than the Bleach universe!

If his guess was correct, the young boy standing before him was the future god of the Bleach universe—the Soul King!

The Soul King was born at the dawn of the Bleach universe’s primordial era. Single-handedly, he divided the originally chaotic and disorderly world into five distinct realms: Hueco Mundo, the Soul Society, the Human World, Hell, and the Dangai...

Furthermore, he used himself as the linchpin to stabilize these five realms. It could be said that the entire Bleach universe was created by the Soul King alone.

Alex’s gaze darkened slightly. As far as he knew, the Soul King’s ultimate fate was exceptionally tragic...

The very god who had forged the world with his own power was eventually betrayed by his subordinates, mutilated into a limbless stump, and sealed within a crystal to endure countless agonizing eons.

But if the boy before him did not step forward to become the Soul King...

...then this world was destined to be destroyed at the hands of the endlessly multiplying Void Beasts.

After pondering for a moment, Alex decided to leave the choice to Ade himself.

He spoke slowly:

"Ade, I have seen the true essence of your power. Your right hand possesses the power to halt everything in absolute stasis. Your left hand possesses the power to propel everything forward..."

"These two powers are not something humans are capable of possessing. Your birth is the will of heaven, the inevitable choice of the world’s consciousness."

"If you continue down this path, what awaits you will be an incredibly arduous and agonizing journey. It might even become a fate worse than death!"

"Knowing this, do you still wish to learn from me?"

Hearing Alex’s words, Ade stood there in a daze, not saying a single word.

After a while, he clenched his fists tightly and raised his head, his pale blue eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

"God, my parents died in the jaws of the Void Beasts when I was very young. I have always thought that if I had possessed enough power back then, perhaps they wouldn’t have died..."

"Therefore, if my sacrifice alone can buy the prosperity of humanity and ensure that no other children have to suffer in loneliness, then even if my body is ground to dust, I will not hesitate."

As those words left Ade’s lips, Alex could almost see a golden, divine radiance illuminating from the boy’s body.

Alex nodded slightly. As expected, Ade’s birth was absolutely no accident.

Ade was the choice of the entire Bleach universe, the destined Soul King. Just like the Gold Saints, he was born to dedicate everything he had for the sake of a higher calling.

"Very well. Follow me!"

Alex and Ade returned to the surface.

Now knowing that this Reincarnation World was the Bleach universe, Alex roughly understood why his domain of Absolute Zero couldn’t completely kill these Void Beasts.

The essence of these Void Beasts—these Hollows—were souls, or rather, Reishi (spiritual particles). Their physical bodies were merely manifestations formed by high concentrations of Reishi; they were not truly existing physical forms.

His domain of Absolute Zero could only freeze these Void Beasts, but it couldn’t thoroughly eradicate them.

Therefore, the key to resolving everything still lay with Ade.

According to the records of the Bleach universe’s lore:

The Soul King was the first physical manifestation of power in the Bleach universe!

He was the source of all supernatural abilities—Quincies, Soul Reapers, Fullbringers, and the like!

He was also the creator of Hueco Mundo, the Soul Society, the Human World, Hell, and the Dangai!

He was the linchpin and foundation for the existence of all these realms!

The Soul King was everything, and the Soul King was the only one!

What Alex needed to do was guide Ade to forge the power system that truly belonged to the Bleach universe.

Earlier, during the woman’s labor, Alex had witnessed the process of a Void Beast dissolving into Reishi with his own eyes. To thoroughly kill these Void Beasts, they first had to find a way to forcefully break them down into Reishi.

’Trailblazing a new world?’

’Interesting.’ The corners of Alex’s mouth curled up slightly!
