Chapter 1475: Soul Society
Su Xiao's first priority was to find out exactly where he was right now.
Taking out a dozen different compasses, he saw that some of them were swaying up and down, while others were spinning rapidly, as if they were windmills.
Seeing such a reaction, Su Xiao realized that he was not in the world of the living, but in the world of the dead.
In fact, he realized it even earlier, because of the sight of the old houses.
Besides, Su Xiao wasn't in Hueco Mundo, which meant that he was most likely teleported directly to the Soul Society, the place where the shinigami lived.
[
Reminder: There are 7 days left before Ichigo Kurosaki joins the Soul Society. In order to protect some fourth-rank contractors, the Hunter won't be able to reach the world of the living for the next 7 days.
Su Xiao now understood what had happened. It turns out that this was part of a defensive mechanic, and because of this mechanic, he was teleported to the Soul Society.
But something surprised Su Xiao, which was that Bubtni and Amu were now in the world of the living. Through the guild chat, Su Xiao found out that the dog and the bull were already roaming the world of the living.
Given Bubtni's current stats, a rank four contractor really wouldn't be able to do anything to him, let alone have Amu walking with him.
Su Xiao's group was divided into three groups. Su Xiao was in the Soul Society, Benny was sent to search for treasure in the Soul Society, and Bubtni and Amu were in the ordinary world.
When he came out of the house, he saw that some people were gathered near the house.
They were nominally souls, but in reality they also had bodies, just like the shinigami.
Shinigami bodies were made up of spiritual particles, and they were flesh and blood creatures. Apart from the difference in the essence of their bodies, they were no different from ordinary people, except that they were much stronger.
— Who is it?
— I don't know, but he's weird.
— Mind your own business. If a shinigami comes here...
These people all looked pale, their clothes were old, and some of them had a lot of patches in their clothes.
Soul Society seemed like it was supposed to be like "Heaven" or "Hell", but in reality it wasn't. The Soul Society was a place where "wandering souls" lived. It was a huge feudal society, and shinigami were the aristocrats in this world.
The entire Soul Society was divided into two parts. The Seireitei in the center was the shinigami's residence, and everything around Seireiten was called "Rukongai". Rukongai was much larger than Seireitei, and the number of people living in this part exceeded the number living in Seireitei by several times.
The shinigami's mission was to maintain order and balance? It was true, but only part of the truth. This truth served as a very good cover. What they really wanted to maintain was their power.
The soul Society needed these wandering souls, they were an excellent labor force. If all of these wandering souls that were used to spawn empty ones were destroyed, the Soul Society would end up without its main workforce.
There was a faction that advocated the complete extermination of the hollows as such, but the Shinigami categorically refused to do so.
The shinigami claimed that hollows were also souls, and souls had to be reincarnated, but did reincarnation really exist in this world?
The funny thing was that the shinigami themselves, with such great power, were all mortals. When they died, they disintegrated into spiritual particles, which were eventually absorbed by the Soul Society, and not, as they said, sent for reincarnation.
Yes, according to shinigami theory, they were reincarnated in the event of death, not disappeared.
Hence, all the souls in the Soul Society couldn't reincarnate at all. Once in this place, they would become a completely different life form that simply existed within this world.
If the concept of "reincarnation" didn't exist in this world, the situation would become very interesting. Quincey's theory didn't really threaten the ordinary world. Even if all the empty ones were destroyed, there wouldn't be any problems in the normal world.
However, the Quincy, having put forward this theory, were eventually almost completely slaughtered by the Shinigami.
And right now, the shinigami looked like they had always fought for the right cause, but in reality, it was only because they had won this war. When they won, all they had to do was direct the souls of this world in the right direction.
Was it difficult to manage those who could not provide themselves with food and clothing?
Most shinigami didn't know about this, they were just following orders from Seireitei.
Among the many high-ranking shinigami, there were two people who were not optimistic about this path of development. The first was Kisuke Urahara, and the second was Sousuke Aizen.
Before Aizen lost, he said to Kisuka Urahara: "Why should such powerful beings remain as weak as mortals?»
When Su Xiao thought about what Aizen said, a smile appeared on his face because he felt that Aizen was a very interesting person. Aizen was a rebel among the shinigami, and he had two goals. The first was that he wanted to reach the top, and the second was to overthrow the current ruling system of Soul Society.
After all, such a feudal system would run into problems sooner or later.
Unfortunately, Aizen wasn't strong enough.
More and more onlookers were gathering near the house, so it was undesirable to stay here any longer.
Su Xiao started jumping from house to house and eventually disappeared from sight.
----
Half an hour later, in a two-story wooden building.
Su Xiao got some insight into this place.
All houses in this world were made up of spirit particles, or in other words, spirit particles were one of the most important components of Soul Society.
Technology in the Soul Society was very far behind the level of the real world. At least in this area, he never saw any signs of electricity, not even a steam engine.
The locals in the past were just ordinary people who ended up stuck in this place. During their lifetime, they were all modern humans, but after arriving in the Soul Society, they were unable to achieve their previous success and did not even have electricity.
It was worth considering.
This level has persisted to this day due to the fact that Soul Society as such could not have electricity, or because shinigami did not allow smart people to recreate something that had long been popular in the ordinary world.?
After all, it will be much easier to rule people if they live like in the Middle Ages.
Su Xiao's target was at the center of the Soul Society, Seireitei. No matter which faction he ended up joining, the first thing he had to do was get there.
A few hours later, an open space appeared in front of Su Xiao.
There were no other buildings in the area.
On the other side, right in front of him, were large, tall, and neat buildings that couldn't be seen in Rukongai.
Right in front of him was the Soul Society center, the center of shinigami power, and this place obviously had its own " guard squad».
Su Xiao was curious to see how the Shinigami would treat him. Will they put him in jail? Maybe they'll decide to execute him on the spot. This development was actually the most likely one.
As soon as he stepped into the open space, a whistle immediately rang out above him.
*Boom-boom-boom...*
High stone walls rose out of the ground, sending dust flying into the air.
When the dust cloud cleared, a row of tall stone walls was already standing in front of Su Xiao.
This was the reason why ordinary souls did not dare to approach the center of the Soul Society.
These stone walls were made of a special material, and this material had no problem isolating spiritual particles and could even destroy weak spiritual particles.
*Boom-boom...*
A gate suddenly appeared in the middle of the walls, and a tall figure with two giant axes at his waist stepped out.
It was Seireitei's gatekeeper, Jidanbo Ikkanzaka.
— The gruff-looking Ikkanzaka yawned. "Who disturbed my sleep?" Ikkanzaki's eyes scanned the surroundings and finally settled on Su Xiao. "Little dwarf, you...
*Whew!*
A blood-red aura spread out in all directions.
Ikkanzaki's muscles tensed, and his sleepy appearance immediately disappeared.
— Go and report upstairs that someone has come to " surrender».
