Infinity: Start as a ghost

The two were brought to the chimney, and Shiba Kanju said, "Please get ready, I'm going to launch."

The so-called preparation is actually to let the two inject spiritual power into the Lingzhu core to activate the protective shield.

But who are the two of them, why do they need such foreign objects to protect their own safety?

"You just start it, don't worry about the safety of the two of us." The military leader smiled and said, "We didn't ask any questions."

Shiba Kanju didn't have a good impression of Shinigami, if it wasn't for Shiba Kuzuru's persuasion and Kurosaki Ichigo's changes to her, he wouldn't bother to talk to them.

Hearing what the two said, he wished to send them away immediately.

"Boom boom boom..."

With the sound of intense artillery fire, the two jumped straight up, soaring into the sky, and flew to the sky above the Soul Realm.

The main soldier stretched out his palm upwards, and the protective shields split automatically to make way for a passage.

Layer after layer of protective shields completely protected the Lingwang Palace.

If it wasn't for the soldiers to lead the way, even Jiang Jiu wouldn't have the confidence to smash so many layers of protection.

Of course, when he completes his new skills, it will be difficult to say.

After passing through layers of protective shields, Jiang Jiu finally came to the interior of the Lingwang Palace under the leadership of the Bingzhu Department.

Jiang Jiu looked around the entire space. Although the number of people in the Lingwang Palace is small, the construction is very comprehensive.

On the ground, streets and buildings intersect with each other, no different from ordinary towns.

It's just that the town is empty and there is no one there.

In mid-air, a prototype island-shaped building was suspended without falling to the ground.

Also suspended is a fan-shaped building.

"Let's go, let's go to Omotesando." The military commander said: "That fan-shaped building is Omotesando, which is a public platform."

"If you want to enter the Soul King Ouchi or the Zero Division Riden, you have to pass through Omotesando."

Jiang Jiu nodded and followed him.

Both of them were very fast. Although Omotesando was in the center of the town, they arrived within a few minutes.

After entering Omotesando, Jiang Jiu was in a trance.

When he came back to his senses, the surrounding environment was completely different.

"Is this where the Spirit King is?" Jiang Jiu sighed as he looked at the empty space.

Six flying islands are suspended in the air, forming a pattern similar to a pentagram.

"King Ling, is it on the island in the middle?"

"That's right." The military master said: "Go, I think His Majesty already knows about your arrival, and I will wait for you here."

Jiang Jiu stared at the Lingwang Palace, raised one foot, and walked step by step towards the location of the Lingwang Palace.

Not far from Lingwang Palace, Jiang Jiu stopped in his footsteps.

"Why didn't you leave?" A familiar voice came from the hall.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Jiu felt a little different, he recognized the owner of this voice.

"You took him away?" Jiang Jiu moved slightly, and finally stood at the door.

"Yes." The voice in the hall admitted.

"Why?" Jiang Jiu asked.

"It's not my original wish." There was a hint of helplessness in the voice in the hall.

"If you don't want to, no one in the world can force you to do so." Jiang Jiu said: "Your reluctance only accounts for [-]% at most, and I'm afraid Seize Yincheng's body will be half-pushed and half-willed."

"Perhaps." King Ling sighed, "My faith is far from firm enough."

King Ling's move was too unexpected, Jiang Jiu could never have thought that he would do this.

Carefully recalling the various details in the plot, Jiang Ji asked in a deep voice: "You, did you seize Yincheng to deal with me?"

"Yes." King Ling admitted very simply: "Because of your fate, no one can control it."

"So, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, why don't you just deal with me here?" Jiang Jiu teased.

"I have no such plan." Ling Wang shook his head: "I can't see through your fate, so I can't judge whether you are good or evil."

"Actually, whether you are good or evil has no effect on this world. What I hope is that you will not interfere too much with the stability of this world."

"Then, whether you are good or evil, or just evil, I will not take action against you."

"But the Bingzhu Department doesn't trust you, they can't hand over their fate to the unknown, so he brought you here."

Jiang Jiu sneered: "It's nice to say, if you don't intend to attack me, you have no reason to see me at all."

"Although it was my request to come to Lingwang Palace, you are already ready to face me, aren't you?"

"If you don't plan to make a move, why do you want to seize Yincheng?"

King Ling didn't answer this question directly, but asked instead: "So, are you going to interfere with the stability of this world?"

"I have already answered this question for you some time ago, believe it or not." Jiang Jiu said, "So, what are you going to do now?"

"Talk to me, or try it yourself?"

"To be honest, I really want to try to see how strong the so-called Spirit King is."

"I ask myself that no one is my opponent except you now."

King Ling was silent for a moment: "Did you come to see me just to fight me?"

"No." Jiang Jiu said with a smile, "The purpose of my coming here is for my own sake."

"Isn't it a good deal to exchange a Zanpakuto for the balance of the Three Realms?"

Chapter 255 Relief

Hearing Jiang Jiu's request, King Ling was silent again.

After a long time, he compromised: "Okay, but I need you to swear to me."

"Are you going to use the oath to bind me?" Jiang Ji laughed loudly: "Yes, but I have to decide the content of the oath, and I have other requirements."

"Just mention it." Ling Wang said.

"My request is not much, only the following points."

"I will occupy the Phoenix Hall for a period of time in the future. During this period, Jinglingting Court is not allowed to make any moves, especially Team Zero."

"Of course, I don't limit daily patrols in this world."

"Second, I want Wang Jian, and I want you to open the passage between Lingwang Palace and Xuquan."

"The requirements for this are not high. All I need is a temporary passage, so that I can freely come and go between the virtual circle and the Lingwang Palace without restriction."

"After I finish using the Phoenix Hall, you can close the passage."

"Third, I want two pieces of Wu Wangyue's knife forging method."

"Okay, I'll just make these few requests, and it's your turn to make them."

"Oh, by the way, I want you to keep the above points secret, and you are not allowed to disclose them to the Soul Soul World." Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "You don't want me to have a dispute with the Soul Soul World, do you?"

King Ling pondered for a moment: "I don't know how to forge a knife with Wang Yue of Ermei Wu."

Jiang Jiu sneered: "Do you think I believe it or not?"

"You can observe everything in the world anytime, anywhere, and you can see the inner you. Don't tell me that you can't see the method of forging a knife from the people around you."

"Even if he hides his tricks, he won't hide it from you."

"From the birth of Zanpakuto to the present, he has forged at least hundreds of thousands of them. You can see it even if you don't know it."

"Now you tell me no, do you think I'm easy to fool?"

King Ling hesitated for a moment: "I can only tell you what I saw, it may not be correct."

"That's enough." Jiang Ji laughed loudly: "It's up to you to put forward conditions."

King Ling started thinking when Jiang Jiu first mentioned "negotiating conditions", so he didn't hesitate for a moment this time.

"I hope you can protect the Three Realms for a thousand years after I die."

"It means that when you are alive, no one can pose a threat to the Three Realms, right?" Jiang Jiu laughed loudly: "Isn't my previous conditions too childish for me to protect the Three Realms for thousands of years?"

King Ling nodded: "Yes, you are indeed at a disadvantage by exchanging this condition for your three conditions."

"I can promise that you can still mention seven conditions."

"As long as I'm still alive, as long as it doesn't affect the Three Realms, as long as I can do it, I will help you achieve it."

"In this way, it seems that I won't be at a disadvantage?" Jiang Jiu shook his head and smiled: "But there are a few hidden problems in it that you haven't pointed out clearly, and your sincerity is not enough."

"Your original fate was to die completely in two years. Now that your fate has changed, I don't know if you will still be unable to escape your fate."

"If you can't escape, then you only have two years left. How many of the so-called seven conditions do you think you can help me solve?"

"Second point, you want me to protect the Three Realms for thousands of years after you die, do you want me to inherit your throne as the Spirit King?"

"When I inherit your throne as the Spirit King, am I bound by your oath?"

"So, I don't agree to your request."

King Ling sighed: "Your intelligence is indeed terrifying, but I don't mean that."

"I do hope that you can become my successor, but I don't mean to restrain you by this, and this method alone cannot restrain you."

"I just really want to ask you to protect all beings in the Three Realms, that's all."

"If it's not a mandatory requirement, if it doesn't restrict my freedom." Jiang Jiu said, "I can promise you."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jiu was silent for a while, and then said: "To be honest, I still have a doubt that I hope you can answer."

King Ling said softly: "Please tell..."

"You...why do you treat your son like this?" Jiang Jiu asked: "Although he has ambitions, it is also for this world and for your relief. Why did you let him end up like that?"

"I don't know." The King of Spirits said with some confusion, "My omniscience is not true omnipotence."

"My omniscience has the ability to rewrite reality and the future, but so does he."

"I can only see one of the last few outcomes."

"I can change the future, but he can rewrite it after I die. I don't know how things will develop two years later."

"You know where the future is headed, young man."

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "Because your world is written by my original world."

"So that's how it is." Ling Wang had no regrets, no unwillingness, just a look of relief: "It turns out that the realm that is stronger than mine is just a little plaything in someone else's pen."

"Then why did you come to our world?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Jiu said, "Using your words, this is not my original wish, and I will investigate all of this."

"For this reason, I must constantly grasp the power and investigate the root cause of all this."

"No wonder, no wonder." Ling Wang laughed loudly: "I understand."

"What did you understand?" Jiang Jiu asked.

King Ling shook his head and said, "You can't say it, you can't say it, you will understand after your world is complete."

"It's inexplicable." Jiang Jiu was a little dissatisfied.

"Let me change the conditions." Ling Wang's attitude suddenly eased a lot: "I hope you can protect this world in the future, indefinitely."

Jiang Jiu frowned: "What do you mean?"

King Ling smiled again: "At the same time, it is not restricted, forever."

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Jiu couldn't understand the operation of King Ling.

"When you become a stronger existence than me, the covenant oath will eventually lose its effect."

"So I no longer plan to use this spiritual technique to make an agreement with you."

"I hope to rely on your heart."
