The Soul Society, the world where Soul Reapers and souls reside, is divided into two parts: the Rukongai and the Seireitei.
The Seireitei, located at the heart of the Rukongai, is where Soul Reapers and nobles live. It is separated from the Rukongai by the Soul Barrier and four gates: the White Road Gate to the west, the Blue Stream Gate to the east, the Black Ridge Gate to the north, and the Vermillion Gate to the south. Each gate is guarded by a gatekeeper.
Ordinary souls live in the Rukongai, the poorest and freest part of the Soul Society. The Rukongai is divided into 80 districts in each cardinal direction. District 1 is the safest area, while District 80 is the worst, where murder, arson, and other heinous acts are common.
When a new soul arrives in the Soul Society, they seek out a family that suits them and gather together to live. Due to the rules of the Soul Society, even souls who die at the same time and place are rarely assigned to live in the same district.
In the Rukongai, souls without spiritual pressure never go hungry. As long as they have water, they can live normally. Therefore, souls without spiritual pressure never experience changes in height or weight until they die.
However, if a soul wishes to leave the Rukongai and live in the affluent Seireitei, the only legal way is to possess spiritual pressure, enroll in the Shinō Academy, graduate, and become a Soul Reaper!
Seireitei.
After returning to the Soul Society, Rukia Kuchiki went straight back to the Thirteenth Division, resuming her life as if nothing had happened. She did not reveal anything about her experiences in that other world to anyone.
That world was very different. She had seen many things and gained much there, but everything was far too unbelievable. She felt that even if she told someone, they probably wouldn't believe her.
So, it was better not to say anything.
After returning to the Soul Society, she never spoke of it to anyone, not even her brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, or her childhood friend. She didn't bring it up at all!
Furthermore, she didn't act rashly.
Because she had been reincarnated through the Impure World Reanimation, she had learned of all of Sōsuke Aizen's ambitions and schemes in advance. But she naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to rush over and confront him directly. She knew it wouldn't do any good and would likely put herself and those around her in danger.
Based on the information she had obtained, Aizen's strength was immense, far greater than anyone had anticipated. At the very least, with her own power alone, she couldn't possibly stop him.
All she could do now was wait.
In truth, she wasn't even sure if Lin Xuan could really bring people to the Soul Society.
Of course, Rukia Kuchiki hadn't been idle during this time. She had been carrying out her duties as usual over the past few days, showing no outward signs of anything unusual.
However, she hadn't been idle either. She had secretly observed Aizen several times.
Perhaps because she already knew something was wrong, after a period of observation, she could vaguely sense something off about this seemingly gentle Aizen.
" I need to find out exactly who Aizen really is as soon as possible! "
Rukia Kuchiki resolved silently in her heart.
She decided to investigate Aizen's background in advance. That way, she could make adequate preparations for his subsequent plans.
Finally, a few days later.
" Boom! "
In a corner of District 80 in the Rukongai, a dull sound echoed. A silver portal, as tall as a person, suddenly appeared on the wall.
Immediately after, a figure slowly walked out of the portal. It was Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan looked around and quickly saw the scene on the street outside the alley. A look of awe crossed his face as he spoke, " So this is the Soul Society?
"
After confirming that no one was around, Lin Xuan communicated with the system in his mind, ultimately asking it to summon Minato Namikaze and the others to this world.
Soon, several figures stood beside Lin Xuan, including Itachi Uchiha, Minato Namikaze, and others.
However, at this moment, they did not possess Impure World Reanimation bodies. Instead, they appeared here directly as souls.
After all, this was the world of Soul Reapers, where everyone existed as souls. So, Lin Xuan had the system summon them in soul form, without creating Impure World Reanimation bodies.
After being summoned, Minato Namikaze and the others couldn't help but curiously observe the unfamiliar surroundings.
" So this is the world where Rukia Kuchiki lives? "
" Interesting, all these people are in soul form? "
" But I don't sense any power from them at all! "
They quickly noticed that the streets were filled with many passersby, looking somewhat chaotic, and all of them were in soul form.
Although they had mentally prepared themselves, seeing such a world with their own eyes was still astonishing.
At that moment, Itachi Uchiha asked in a low voice, " President Lin Xuan, where should we go next? "
Lin Xuan looked around. He had already notified Rukia Kuchiki, but it would still take some time for her to arrive. He thought for a moment and finally said with a smile, "
Let's take a stroll around here first. This is a good opportunity for you all to learn more about this place. "
