Chapter 341 Aizen: The World is Wrong
"He agreed?"

After returning to the 5th Division's barracks, Lu Li couldn't wait to go into Aizen's small room and ask the questions he was concerned about.

"Urahara Kisuke is an excellent researcher. He is also interested in the study of Hollowization and will naturally not miss the opportunity to practice it."

Aizen said, "Interestingly, the principle of the Hogyoku he developed is slightly different from mine, and the raw materials used in its production are also different."

"Is his Hogyoku different from Sosuke's theory? What should we do?"

Lu Li had a rough guess in his mind, but he didn't know whether it was consistent with the truth.

"His collapsing jade production material needs to be made of virtual, so he wants to join forces with us. We prepare the materials, and he is responsible for providing technical and theoretical support."

Aizen said, "So I will take some time to go to Hueco Mundo again in the next few days."

According to Kisuke Urahara, the higher the quality of the raw materials used to make Hogyoku, the better the resulting Hogyoku will be.

To put it simply, the purity is different. If you use stronger virtual materials, the purity will be higher.

Kisuke Urahara originally wanted to use some of the Kirlian he would encounter in the real world to make Hogyoku, but that was a helpless choice due to his limited conditions. Now after cooperating with Aizen, they can produce Hogyoku with higher purity.

Although the Hueco Mundo has gone through a lot of trouble at the hands of Lu Li, there are still a number of Achukas-level Hollows. Those Achukas who are very bestial, loyal to Bylergan and still hostile to the Hueco Mundo are good materials.

Because of the higher quality, you don't need a lot of them. According to the calculations of Urahara Kisuke and Aizen, about five or six Achukas are enough to make a Hogyoku of very good quality.

"Then I'll trouble you, Sosuke. I'm already looking forward to the power after I become a Hollow."

Lu Li said with a smile.

"Don't be happy too soon. It is extremely risky to let you become hollow without any experiments after completing the Collapse Jade. My suggestion is to find a few Death Gods to experiment with first and see what the results are."

Aizen said, "Lu-kun, you probably don't want to try to hollowify without any guarantees, right?"

Lu Li pondered for a moment and felt that what Sosuke said made sense. Even if he and Urahara Kisuke were geniuses, they could not guarantee that the Hougyoku they made would be able to successfully hollowify the object the first time.

If he fails, he might become a mindless void, which would be really funny.

If they just wanted to conduct experiments on Shinigami, even if they were those Shinigami who were considered to be evil, such experiments would definitely be discovered by Urahara Kisuke.

By then, Aizen and Urahara Kisuke's collaborative research would be terminated, and they would end up parting ways.

This is not what Lu Li is happy to see. In fact, he hopes that Aizen can cooperate with Urahara Kisuke for a long time, so that after he leaves this world, Sosuke can become stronger in advance and accumulate enough strength before the plot officially begins.

He was about to open his mouth to refute, but when he saw the look behind the blue-colored lenses, he suddenly realized.

In fact, for Aizen, who has not yet reached the limit of the God of Death, he does not need to rush into anything. All these things are being considered for him.

Rejecting Sosuke's kindness at this time would be, in a sense, disrespectful to him.

Thinking of this, Lu Li took back what he was about to say, "Just do a few experiments secretly to verify it, don't drag you into it."

He felt that he was worrying too much about Sosuke's future. Even without his help, Sosuke was strong enough before the plot began in the original work.

Besides, being able to obtain an incomplete Hougyoku in advance is already an improvement. Instead of worrying about Sosuke's future, it is better to worry about your own present.

Their top priority now is to break the impasse and resolve the threats posed by Kenpachi Zaraki and the Soul Singer.

"Don't worry, I know what Mr. Lu is worried about."

Aizen took off his glasses and placed them on the table. Lu Jun already knew that his glasses were just for decoration. "Urahara Kisuke is not as glamorous as you think. Even without our intervention, he would have eventually created the Hogyoku and conducted experiments."

"Sosuke's description is wrong. It makes us sound like we are shady. Aren't we doing great things?"

Lu Li said with a smile, he probably understood Aizen's ideals at this stage, it was not something that was outrageous to the Three Realms.

"Mr. Lu's speaking ability has improved."

Aizen smiled, "But Urahara Kisuke is indeed a dangerous person. I see his intentions. From a macro perspective, he is actually using us as experimental subjects. I believe that even if I develop another kind of Hougyoku and fuse it into a more complete form, Urahara Kisuke will not take it, but will give it to me."

"Because he didn't want to take the risk himself? So he asked Sosuke to test the specific functions and limits of the Hogyoku?"

Lu Li was a little confused. He didn't realize this when he read the original novel, but considering the store manager's thoughtfulness, this kind of long-term layout is not impossible.

"That's pretty much the feeling, but I don't mind. Whether one can ascend to the throne is not determined by how deep one's mind and calculations are, but by one's tolerance."

Aizen said, "Urahara Kisuke is very smart, but he doesn't have the courage, so he is not worth worrying about."

Lu Lixin said that you are quite magnanimous, but in the original work, you, Sosuke, were killed (defeated) by Urahara Kisuke.

"By the way, Sosuke, when did you start wanting to overthrow Soul Society and become the king of the three realms?"

Lu Li asked curiously. The two had talked to each other many times after they met again. He roughly knew that Aizen now wanted to establish a new structure of the Three Realms, but he didn't know why Aizen wanted to do this.

"In fact, I have no interest in subverting Soul Society."

Aizen's answer surprised Lu Li.

"But aren't we preparing for a rebellion now?" Lu Li asked in surprise.

Aizen looked at Lu Li strangely, "Mr. Lu, when did you think I wanted to rebel? I just want to change something unreasonable. I don't mean to rebel and destroy Soul Society."

"Unreasonable? What exactly is that?"

Lu Li asked.

"Mr. Lu, don't you find it strange? Soul Society is the world after death, and its existence itself has many unreasonable forms."

Aizen said, "You have also been to the human world. Do you think Soul Society is the heaven or hell that people in the human world talk about?"

Lu Li was stunned. He had never thought about this question carefully. At first glance, it sounded very philosophical and was not his area of ​​expertise.

He pondered for a moment and said, "...It should be heaven? After all, hell is another place. Souls of extremely evil people will be sent to hell after soul burial."

"Mr. Lu, your thinking is normal, but you have fallen into the same superficial misunderstanding as the rest of the world. That is, you bring the delusions of mortals into the real world and subconsciously believe that Hell and Soul Society are opposites."

Aizen explained, "But in reality, regardless of the fact that Soul Society is not large enough to match the hell that existed before the beginning of chaos, just considering the nature of Soul Society, can it really represent the heaven that ordinary people talk about?"

Lu Li was even more confused. After thinking for a few seconds, he realized that something was wrong. "Sosuke, what you mean is that the composition and class of Soul Society itself is very complicated, and there is no such thing as peace and happiness. It can't be compared to heaven, right?"

Aizen nodded. "To put it simply, even the Soul Society's best security and living conditions in the Seireitei can hardly be said to be connected to heaven, not to mention the outer Rukongai. According to human common sense, isn't the edge of Rukongai hell?"

Lu Li recalled what happened when he first came to this world. He landed in the Gengmu District of the 80th District of Beiliuhun Street. The people there were either waiting to die in the sun on the dry earth, or fighting each other. It was a completely lawless place.

According to the basic worldview of Bleach, if those souls were extradited from the human world to Soul Society, then they should not have committed any crimes so heinous that they must go to hell during their lifetime.

To be honest, even if they became evil thugs in Rukongai, they were probably not like that when they were alive. They were just forced into becoming evil people by the environment.

In other words, it was the hellish environment that caused the chaos on the edge of Rukongai. How could such a place be related to heaven?
“This is indeed unfair. Even if you did all the good deeds in your life, you will just randomly enter Soul Society after you die. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up in the inner circle of Rukongai and live in peace waiting for reincarnation. If you’re unlucky, you’ll die and dissipate completely in the chaos outside, and you might even be eaten by a Hollow. Tsk…”

Lu Li said with some emotion, "Sosuke, now that you put it that way, I feel like our Soul Society operating system is very crude, like a half-finished product."

“It’s a semi-finished product indeed.”

When Aizen talked about this, his expression became more serious. "According to my research, the Three Realms were created by the Soul King. However, the power of the Soul King himself seems to have its limits. Or maybe he was not careful when creating the Three Realms, which is why there are many omissions in the basic rules of the Three Realms."

He pulled out a piece of paper from the desk and wrote and drew on it to facilitate the explanation. "I even feel that the creation of the Three Realms may not have been the will of the Spirit King himself in the beginning. Otherwise, there would be too many loopholes."

Lu Li admired Sosuke's reasoning ability. Considering the current situation, Sosuke was probably far from the stage of encountering the truth, but he had already roughly deduced the original structure process of this world.

According to the analysis of the big guys he had seen in the space, the Spirit King did not voluntarily open up the Three Realms in the beginning, but was ambushed by the original five nobles and used as a wedge to stabilize the Three Realms.

"Mr. Lu, look, this is the current class structure of Soul Society. From top to bottom, there are the royal family, the five great nobles and the Central Forty-Six Chambers, the Thirteenth Squadron of the Soul Society, Rukongai Districts 1 to 80, and the wasteland outside."

Aizen pointed at the stairs drawn on the paper and said, "Don't you think this is ridiculous? The only thing I can relatively agree with is the existence of the Gotei 13, because the Gotei soldiers are working hard to maintain the balance of the three realms."

He circled the nobles with a pen. "What's interesting is that our job as Death Gods is to kill Hollows, purify their souls and transfer them to Soul Society. This is to prevent the number of souls in one world from being too many or too few, thus maintaining the balance of souls in the three worlds. But there is something about the nobles that naturally breaks this system."

He looked up into Lu Li's eyes, "Does Lu Li know what that is?"

Lu Li thought for a moment and then said, "Can they have children?"

Aizen nodded, "Yes, the so-called families of the residents in Rukongai are all re-formed from the original stranger souls. They do not reproduce, so no new souls are born. However, the nobles are giving birth to children, which means they are creating new souls, which has essentially destroyed the balance of the three realms."

"The evil class enemy!"

Lu Li complained.

Aizen also smiled, "Of course, I don't hate nobles because of this. With their fertility, they can only create a few more souls, which is not enough to really threaten the balance of the three realms. Besides, the Soul Society also has regulations for this."

At this point, his eyes became a little sharper. "Mr. Lu, you said before that you don't want me to harm the innocent souls in Rukongai, but you know that every year the Gotei 13 secretly eliminates a group of souls outside Rukongai in order to regulate and balance them. The captain-in-chief acquiesces to this."

Lu Li was a little surprised when he heard this. He tried hard to think and recall in his brain. With his mental strength, he could recall anything he had seen.

After checking it in his mind, he was surprised to find that what Sosuke said was true, but when he read the original work, he mostly focused on the 'battle power' scenes where fists and knives were used to draw blood, and did not pay much attention to some of the dark details.

There is indeed a passage in the original work that states that when Mayuri Kurotsuchi was the captain, he eliminated the souls on the outskirts of Rukongai in order to maintain the balance of the total number of souls.

Also, during the Thousand Year Blood Chapter, in order to temporarily regulate and maintain balance, Nirvana wiped out 20,000 souls at once.

Lu Li didn't pay much attention to this understated description, but now thinking about it, this is really dark. Even though it is for the purpose of maintaining the balance of the three realms, aren't those souls with independent thinking innocent?
If we think further, not to mention the emergency situations during the Thousand Year Blood War, the damage to the flowing souls caused by daily regulation must be borne by the nobles who created the extra souls.

"But Sosuke, you don't seem like someone who would stand up for them, do you?"

Lu Li felt that Sosuke’s dissatisfaction with the nobles was not due to this, or he had not yet felt Sosuke’s dissatisfaction with the nobles.

"The strong prey on the weak. For the sake of the balance of the three realms, Soul Society naturally has its considerations. Even if no nobles give birth to children, the souls in this world will be temporarily unbalanced due to large-scale natural and man-made disasters. At that time, Soul Society will still erase the souls. So in the final analysis..."

Aizen paused, "...It's not the nobles, nor the refugees, nor us Death Gods who are wrong; Lu Jun, it's the world that is wrong."
