Chapter 299: Death Again, Hueco Mundo
Chapter 299: Death Again, Hueco Mundo
"Hahaha...that's your style."
Xueyu smiled after hearing what the soul singer said, and paused with the spoon in his hand, "You use props to enter the world, and the mission requirements will be very high. After all, according to my information, the Death God World should be opened for the first time in the new reincarnation. If the space is released by default, only explorers below level 35 can enter."
"It doesn't matter, whether it's S-rank or S+, I will get the evaluation I deserve, and the spirit seed will be mine."
The soul singer was unmoved, "I'm just afraid he'll miss me now."
"Really? Confidence is a good thing. I look forward to your results."
There was a hint of teasing in Xueyu's smile. She actually had some special information that she hadn't told the Soul Singer because the other party didn't pay enough.
The other party only asked her for information about people who might possess spirit seeds, so she told the singer the latest information about spirit seeds.
As far as she knew, a fight between special people who possessed spiritual seeds might have broken out in the world of One Piece before, and the winner was a strong man named Prisoner from the End Space.
Based on the strength estimation and the schedule of the space mission world, she believed that the prisoner demon would most likely be dropped into the 'newly opened' world of death by the End Space during this mission period.
But because the soul singer didn't pay enough, she didn't tell him some key, inferred information.
That is, she was basically certain that Prisoner would go to the world of the God of Death. This was not only a problem with the scheduling of the mission world in the End Space, but also because she knew that Prisoner, the "explorer", mainly used... Zanpakuto.
This is quite subtle information. To be honest, Zanpakuto is not a rare thing in various spaces. Many explorers who have entered the world of Death in history have obtained it.
However, not many people are actually using it to cultivate it, mainly because the Bleach world is usually officially opened to fourth-level explorers. At this time, the explorers may already have an epic main weapon, and it is too difficult for them to make the transition to cultivating the Bleach's Zanpakutō from the elementary level.
In addition, not all explorers will use a sword as a weapon. Although the forms of Zanpakutō after Shikai and even Bankai are ever-changing, since its basic form is a sword, there is definitely a certain requirement for expertise in swordsmanship.
Therefore, even though the world of Bleach has been opened again and again, and many people have obtained Zanpakutō, there are not many people who truly cultivate this growth-oriented main weapon.
Since the explorer named Qiumo can use Zanpakuto very well, referring to the level of explorers recruited when the One Piece world was first opened, Xueyu believes that Qiumo may have obtained Zanpakuto at a very early period.
According to simple reasoning, since fourth-level explorers cannot set up stalls in first- and second-level trading markets, Lu Li's Zanpakutō is most likely not something that was transformed from Asado and purchased in the intra-space trading market.
After further analysis, she thought that Lu Li had most likely already been to the World of Death, and had enjoyed the beginning of a new cycle in the World of Death alone without anyone knowing. After all, they had not heard of the news of the opening of the World of Death in the past six months.
This is very intriguing. After all, when a space explorer is sent into a mission world, many resource issues need to be considered. After the world is opened, only sending one person in is a huge waste of resources. Generally speaking, the space will never do this.
This is also why in most mission worlds, many explorers will be deployed into space at one time. Even in large worlds, explorers will be deployed into several worlds at the same time.
As far as she knew, there was only one situation where the space would only deploy one explorer into a mission world, and that was the trial world when the explorer was just pulled into the space.
Due to some kind of 'newbie protection mechanism', the space believes that if new and old explorers are deployed together, it will be easy for the old explorers to massacre the newcomers in the trial, so they will be deployed separately.
When Xueyu reasoned to this point, she felt it was very absurd, because there was also a contradiction in it that she could not understand, that is, why would the End Space directly send a newcomer to a world like the God of Death! ?
Isn't this just outright murder of the newcomer?
Or did the End Space already have high hopes for this explorer when it was pulling him in?
Thinking further, based on the time when the world of death was closed last time, Xueyu felt it was even more outrageous, because according to the time, if the prisoner was a special person, he might not have experienced six worlds in total!
What kind of abnormal growth rate is this! ?
The soul singer in front of him was also very strong, but it took him ten mission worlds to advance to the middle and late stages of the fourth level.
The prisoner demon of the end only took about six worlds to catch up with the progress. Is it outrageous? Let other explorers know how to survive?
Because a lot of the information about the Demon Prisoner was her personal reasoning, although she felt that the truth was almost certain, she didn't say much because the singer didn't give her enough money.
Of course, there is also a bit of her personal bad taste involved, and she really wants to see how things will develop later.
"I look forward to getting new seed information from you after I return."
The soul singer drank the wine in the glass, put the glass on the table, and left the tavern.
He couldn't wait to enter the world of death and get the spiritual seeds he had longed for, and two at a time!
I am afraid that by then, he will become the first pioneer in all the major spaces to possess three spirit seeds. His future is promising.
Xueyu looked at the soul singer's leaving back with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
Just as she was stirring the cappuccino with a silver spoon, she heard a prompt from the Heavenly Dao Space, "Oh, I didn't expect there would be a special seat to watch the show, it's really great."
…………
In the End Space, after Lu Li finished a day's training, he returned to his room to rest.
After washing up, lie down on the bed and use good sleep to replenish your energy to its peak.
He calculated the time and prepared to use the world positioning props to enter the world of the god of death one day before the scheduled mission world began.
The next morning, Lu Li slept until he woke up naturally, feeling refreshed.
After checking his own equipment and the inventory in the storage space, he took out the props given to him by Luo Sheng and used them directly.
[It is detected that the pioneer uses the world positioning prop. You can choose one of the mission worlds that the pioneer has visited to enter. Which world do you want to enter? ]
After receiving the prompt, Lu Li said without hesitation: "The world of death."
[Received the request, started world positioning, this mission world will start ahead of time, and will be corrected to the target world positioned by the pioneer. ]
[World redirecting... Target world: Large open derivative world. Death]
[Direction successful, transmission begins...]
After the prompt sounded, Lu Li's feet felt lighter, his whole body was enveloped by white light, and he entered the hazy passage again.
[Transmitting...]
[The number of people deployed in the World End Space for this mission: 113]
[Number of people deployed in Tiandao Space: 99]
[Number of people deployed in Chaos Space: 87]
[Tip: Killing explorers from other spaces will double the chance of dropping the Dead Man's Chest]
[It is detected that the pioneer already has an initial identity in this world, and will not be re-arranged, and will inherit the previous identity and faction reputation] [The world reputation system has been enabled, and the pioneer can check his faction reputation for the year in the menu. ]
The prompt sound paused here. Lu Li couldn't do anything else during the transmission, so he opened the menu to check.
[Gotei 1000 Reputation: ]
[Soul Society Nobles Camp Reputation: 500]
[Zero Squad Faction Reputation: 100]
[Tip: The reputation of the faction not related to the pioneers is not displayed for the time being. The pioneers are requested to explore the specific faction situation by themselves. ]
This division of reputation and camp made Lu Li feel a little intriguing.
Because there is no general "Death God camp" or Soul Society camp, but rather several subdivided camps. This is a system that did not exist when he came here as a trial-taker last time.
Through these divisions, Lu Li could intuitively feel that Soul Society was not a monolithic entity. Even though they were all Death Gods, they were divided into camps. The camps might cooperate with each other, but they might also have conflicts that outsiders were not aware of.
After looking at the camp reputation, the transmission was over. Lu Li felt that the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and his vision became clear after he stepped on the ground.
There was a gray full moon in the sky, and all I could see was endless desert. A desolate and lonely atmosphere enveloped the world.
As he expected, he landed in Hueco Mundo.
This was a result he had anticipated long ago. After all, the last time he left the world of Death, he followed the Hollow into the Black Chamber. Theoretically, if he did not die, he would be brought into the Holo Mundo by the Hollow.
In order to rationalize his identity setting, Space would naturally place his starting map in the Hueco Mundo.
[Delivery completed, Pioneers, please check the map information and your tasks. ]
All Lu Li could see was the vast grey desert. After confirming that there was no danger around, he took out the Fat Dragon puppet to be on guard, and he carefully checked the menu.
[Current location: Hueco Mundo]
【Time Node: 1800 AD】
[Current stay period: three natural months]
Lu Li felt that the End Space was relatively fair this time. It might also be because there were no reference points in Hueco Mundo to make judgments, so they directly told him the timeline of his arrival.
Because he had asked about Aizen's age, Lu Li had a clearer understanding of the timeline. Judging from the time, compared to the last time he came to the world of Death, about seventy years have passed in this world.
By this calculation, he has been gone from Soul Society for quite a long time. Even if the gods of death are very long-lived, seventy years is not a short time. It is estimated that many gods of death have forgotten about him as a former passer-by.
And his former good roommate, Aizen Sosuke, must have graduated from the Maou Spiritual Academy by now, and may even have become the chief officer of the 5th Division.
Judging from the time, the former fifth squad chief, Mako Hirako, might have been the vice-captain or even the captain at this time.
The huge changes in time made Lu Li feel a little emotional. For him, the last time he came to the world of Death God was just a year ago, but for the people here, the Death God soldier named Lu Li had disappeared for eighty years.
Regarding the situation on Aizen's side, Lu Li couldn't reason according to the original work for the time being. After all, he might have had a certain influence on Sosuke. Under the butterfly effect, it was difficult to judge Aizen's current strength and status.
He is now in Hueco Mundo, and cannot use his connections in Soul Society, so he can only focus on the present.
After looking at the location and time, Lu Li turned his attention to the mission.
Different from large derivative worlds such as Naruto and One Piece, maybe because he has been to the world of Bleach before and has an identity and a main quest chain, he also has a main quest this time.
[Main Quest. Power of Death]
Mission content: During the stay in the mission world, the pioneer needs to further develop the power of the god of death and master the power of Zanpakutō Bankai.
Mission Difficulty: Nightmare ~ Death
Mission Reward: Inheritance Crystal. Medium*10, Flexible Return Qualification
Failure penalty: -3 to all attributes
This main quest is not divided into stages, and the content is simple and crude, with only one task being to master Bankai.
But the difficulty of this mission is extremely exaggerated, and it is marked as a nightmare to certain death. If it is a combat mission, Lu Li might be a little excited about this difficulty. It is a big challenge between life and death, which allows him to fight against strong enemies more happily in the process of completing the mission.
However, the mission of the Power of Death is not a combat mission, but a 'learning mission' just like the last time you first entered the Death God realm. If you encounter resistance in this kind of mission, you can't just brute force your way through it with a knife.
Referring to the process of his awakening Shikai last time, he really wouldn't be able to do it on his own without Sosuke's help.
The same was true for this mission. He had studied Bankai many times before coming to the world of Death, but he had no idea about Bankai. Not to mention Bankai, he couldn't even use the resonance Zanpakutō to reach that purgatory.
Lu Li had thought before whether it was a problem with his spiritual pressure, that is, his basic foundation, but he felt that even if his spiritual pressure was not up to standard, it should not be said that he could not even resonate with his Zanpakutō. He felt that the depths of his soul were somewhat difficult to please.
After comprehensive analysis, even if he had a way to increase his spiritual pressure to the required level, it would be difficult to perform Bankai. Fortunately, the basic stay time in this world is also not short, and there is a side quest that can be extended. He has enough time to slowly study how to solve this problem.
Speaking of time, he was very interested in the next side quest.
[Side Quest: Time Hunter]
Mission content: Hunt strong ones in the world of death. You can increase your stay time proportionally according to the exploration degree obtained.
Mission difficulty: Easy ~ Must die
Mission Reward: Proportional Stay Time
Failure penalty: None
After Lu Li clicks on this task, he can view more details about the extension of the stay time. For example, if he kills a strong man and gains 3% exploration degree, he can extend his stay time by about 2.7 days. If he has % exploration degree, he can stay for three more months.
When Lu Li was about to check out several subsequent pioneer-specific tasks, he was suddenly reminded by Fatty Dragon, which shifted his mind to the outside world.
He saw several figures fighting in the north, and they were constantly moving towards him during the battle. Moving at a very fast speed, they soon approached where he was.
After approaching within a few kilometers, without the cover of gray sand and dust, Lu Li could clearly see the appearance of those Xu. One of the Xu was pure white all over, but had a pair of black wings on its back, like a bat.
There was no need for Fat Dragon to investigate, Lu Li could clearly sense that the energy levels of several Hollows were unusual, and from their appearance he could tell that they were Yachukas-class Hollows.
