The whole world knows that I crossed

Not a hazard?

What do you mean?

Qiao Wen was confused.

The beauty goddess Izanah didn't immediately try to answer Qiao Wen's doubts.

"You have also told a lot of information about the Spirit King that you know before."

The red lips of the goddess curved slightly, revealing a smile full of interest.

"Then, Qiao Wen," she said softly, "In your opinion, what kind of existence is the 'Spirit King'?"

What kind of existence is the Spirit King...?

Qiao Wen really hasn't explored this issue carefully.

In his view, the Spirit King is not only the cornerstone of the world in the setting of the God of Death story, but also a tool man who promotes the development of the plot and lacks a sense of existence and will.

Although, like the villain BOSS, it serves the plot and the protagonist, let alone Ba Dadie, the number one charismatic character of the Grim Reaper... Bah!It's Aizen SAMA, and even Yuhabach, a psychopath, has a much stronger sense of existence than Lingwang.

The reason is that no matter how awesome the spirit king is set up, when he actually appears on the stage, he looks like a puppet without self-awareness. Rather than being guarded, it should be said that he is "imprisoned" in In the Palace of the King of the Spirits, in the face of Yuhabach's attack, not only did he not have any effective counterattack, he didn't even have the slightest reaction, and he was stabbed in the kidney with a knife...

How should I put it, in fact, the problem is the same as that of the Zero team. Before the appearance, the prestige was raised too high, but after the appearance, the ability displayed was not worthy of this prestige at all.

No wonder Qiao Wen has always thought that he is a necessary tool to promote the development of the plot→_→

But this answer must not be given to the beauty goddess Izanah.

Qiao Wen sneered, trying to make her description sound less, um, "disrespectful":

"The cornerstone of the world? The God of Creation? I actually don't quite understand..."

After all, everything was heard from others, and it was normal for Qiao Wen to have a difficult impression of himself.

Izanami glanced at someone with a smile, but didn't pierce his little thoughts.

"The cornerstone of the world? That's right. The God of Creation? Judging from your description, there is a high probability that this is indeed the case."

The Lord of the Underworld, known as the "Goddess of Creation", said with a light smile.

"As the name suggests, the cornerstone of the world is the basis for the birth and existence of the world, and an important existence that maintains the existence of a world."

"However, not all cornerstones of the world can possess the ability of 'creation'."

Otherwise, in many myths, the gods who create the world and the existence that maintains the world will not be separated, and they will become two completely different concepts.

And when these two concepts overlap into one, and a certain existence is not only the cornerstone of the world, but also the god of creation...

"Then, he becomes some kind of extremely rare existence."

Therefore, the Spirit King does not seem to have the consciousness of "self", his consciousness is equal to the consciousness of the world, and this has become a perfectly normal thing.

— "He is the world itself."

There was some inexplicable meaning in Izanami's tone.

Qiao Wen was even more confused by what she said.

"So, so?" He tried hard to stay awake, but it was obviously not working.

Izanami chuckled, but didn't think Qiao Wen's reaction was an offense.

"So," she replied, "to outsiders, the Soul King looks like a god devoid of desire and self-expression."

He will neither reward for being pleased nor punish for being offended.

Just because the real world consciousness has not yet been fully awakened, except when it feels the danger of near extinction, it will take the initiative to warn. At other times, the Spirit King is like a puppet without self-will, silent and silent.

Qiao Wen: "...that's it."

He recalled the plot in the original story, even though Yuhabach had already surprised him, facing the blade he raised without hesitation, the King of Spirit still didn't react at all.

Perhaps for the Spirit King at that time, even if he was "killed" by Yuhabach, in his opinion, it was not a crisis that could wipe him out, right?

That's why he almost let the opponent's actions go, and that's why he was easily "killed" without any resistance...

Thinking of this, Qiao Wen vaguely understood that Izanami wanted to explain something by going around like this.

Sure enough, Goddess Huangquan continued to say:

"For those who serve the gods, it is obvious that the gods are close in front of them, as if they can be easily touched by reaching out. However, that layer of barriers that do not know where they came from and why they continue to this day are always there, so that they themselves You can't convey your devotion to the other party, and you can't confirm the other party's intentions either..."

This is probably a very painful thing.

Especially for Ichibei, who was the first to serve at the side of King Ling.

He is a character of the same period as Captain Yamamoto, that is to say, from the beginning of the establishment of Soul Society, he has been the leader of the Zero Division, has moved into the Palace of the Soul King, and began to serve the Soul King day and night.

This person may have flaws of one kind or another, but his loyalty to King Ling is beyond doubt.

However, Mingming can occasionally get some "enlightenment" from the Spirit King, and clearly the god he guards is not really without self-awareness, however, he has never been able to communicate with the other party, and his voice seems to never reach the other party. All the time, I can only passively bear the information from the other party that I don't know when I will get it...

"He probably wants to change this situation."

Izanami sighed.

The original intention of Bingzhubu Yibei is not necessarily to end his long and painful, hopeless waiting that he doesn't know when it will end, but to use a certain degree of stimulation so that, in his opinion, he is always in a "sleep" The spirit king in the state regained his due sobriety and became a real "king".

But both the methods he employed and the self-righteousness and arbitrariness he displayed throughout the process crossed the line.

So he was punished.

The "enlightenment" that only he could get, this time, came to Captain Yamamoto.

He is no longer the only and special person who can "represent the will of the Spirit King".

For Yibingwei of the Bingzhubu, it was probably more unacceptable to him than being pressed into the ground by a ghost lamp in public.

"This is really..."

Qiao Wen was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that the various behaviors of Bingzhu Yibingwei could have such a profound interpretation!

He just thought that the other party was arrogant and self-important, and there was something wrong with his brain...

I'm really sorry for treating him so superficially!

The beauty goddess Izanah couldn't help but smile when she saw his bewildered expression of "increased strange knowledge!"

"This is just a guess on my part."

she says.

As for whether it is true or not, no one can prove it except Ichibei himself.

After analyzing the possible motives of a scheming monk, Izanami asked a few more questions about world consciousness. Qiao Wen answered truthfully what he knew, and honestly said he didn't know what he didn't know.

Izanami didn't make things difficult for him either.

"I'm just asking this out of my own curiosity." Goddess Huang Quan smiled casually, "I don't plan to share information with some people."

Some people... mean Gao Tianyuan?

Just as Qiao Wen was thinking, he heard a voice of disapproval from the ghost lamp beside him:

"Izanami's life."

"...What are you doing!" The goddess turned her face weakly and a little waywardly, "You also heard what 'that' said, the world consciousness is almost harmless to the world itself!"

As long as the people living in it don't take the initiative to die, no world consciousness will be boring enough to hurt them.

So it doesn't matter if those guys in Gao Tianyuan know about this matter!

Ghost Lamp sighed upon hearing this.

"Although I also have a lack of affection for some people," he said with a sigh, "but this level of information is still our ally, Gao Tianyuan, and it is necessary to know it."

——So don't be self-willed anymore.

Izanami remained silent with a sullen face.

Qiao Wen and Ba Wei looked at each other, feeling that they had lost their position to stay here, so they took the initiative to say goodbye.

Qiao Wen breathed a sigh of relief until he walked out of the mansion of the beauty goddess Izanah.

"They won't be arguing..." He looked back at the mansion behind him a little worriedly.

Bawei looked like he was used to it.

"It's impossible to quarrel." He said firmly, "Except for Bai Ze, that evil ghost can't 'quarrel' with anyone."

...Is it only unilateral suppression and preaching_(:з)∠)_

Qiao Wen instantly got the connotation of Yaohu's words.

Silently lighting a candle for the beautiful goddess Izanah in his heart, Qiao Wen looked at the quiet profile of the demon fox beside him, and suddenly realized that this was the first time he had truly been "alone" with Ba Wei after his return.

During the time of parting, I believe that Bawei must have many things to ask himself, but Yaohu chose to remain silent in the end.

It's not that he doesn't want to ask, but that this is probably Ba Wei's unique thoughtfulness.

He won't talk about his thoughtfulness like "I'm tired just after coming back? Take a rest first and talk about it later." Instead, he expresses his thoughtfulness with actions quietly.

People who don't know Ba Wei may be deceived by the seemingly arrogant and fierce appearance, and cannot see the soft and gentle side of this fox who already knows what the human heart is.

Qiao Wen is glad that he is not that kind of person.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a gentle Ba Wei?

He smiled and took two quick steps, walking side by side with the silent fox.

"Izanami and Mr. Ghost Lantern were there just now, and they were talking about serious things."

Qiao Wen tilted his head, observing the fox's expression, and said.

"Although Bawei should be very concerned about those things, but, compared to those things, aren't you curious about my daily life?"

"If it's Bawei, I'd like to talk about it in detail, okay?"

"About another world, about my experience in the past ten years..."

Yaohu's footsteps paused insignificantly.

"I don't have time for trivial matters."

Clearly inappropriate speech.

Qiao Wen was almost able to deal with this level of arrogance.

"Isn't it just a trivial matter?" He freely interpreted Bawei's previous speech.

Seeing that Yaohu raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not object again, he continued his previous topic on his own——

"Let me think about where to start...Ah! That's right!"

"Didn't I mention my Zanpakutō's 'Shikai' ability when I contacted you last time?"

As Qiao Wen said, he directly opened the "Ye Li" space, reached in and fumbled for a while, and took out a small wooden sculpture with a very familiar shape:

"First of all, let's start with this long-awaited reunion ceremony, okay?"

As he spoke, Qiao Wen involuntarily stuffed the demon fox wood carving in his hand to the genuine demon fox beside him:

"This is the first edition of the woodcarving that I have treasured since I finished it!"

"Take good care of 'him', Bawei!"

"..." Looking at the carved wooden demon fox that was forcefully thrust over his hand, and then at Qiao Wen who was smiling brightly beside him, Bawei finally smiled slightly.

"Since you've said it to this extent, I'll take it with difficulty."

"Hey... so reluctantly? Why don't you pay me back, I don't really want to give it away..."

"Is there a reason to take back things you give away? I don't remember teaching you this when I taught you etiquette."

"So you're still reluctant to pay me back? Wouldn't it be better to just honestly admit that you're happy and happily accept the gift?"

Why do you have to be arrogant!

"...shut up." Yaohu became angry from embarrassment.

Seeing the fox with its ears standing upright, and the expression of "I'm going to explode!" Qiao Wen finally couldn't help it, and started laughing.

"As expected, Bawei is still Bawei..."

While laughing, he stopped in his tracks, staring at the friends around him with bright eyes.

"Although it's a bit late to say this now... But, I'm back! Bawei!"

Facing this pair of eyes that seemed to be full of starlight, Ba Wei's face was tense and tense, but he didn't tense after all, and also raised the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile——

"Know it."

So don't stress it out, little bastard.
