In the clearing of the underground cave, the bonfire crackled, painting the rock walls in warm orange-red.
The villagers danced and sang around the newborn baby, and the rough pottery jars, filled with crude fruit wine brewed from berries, emitted an aroma that mingled with the smell of roasted groundhog grease, permeating the air.
Li Yu was pushed to the center of the crowd. Several young women, adorned with animal bone hair ornaments, blushed as they offered him roasted food, their youthful cheeks slightly flushed.
They had heard that this outsider possessed the power to freeze Void Beasts.
If they could spend a night with this powerful individual, perhaps the offspring they bore could help the village survive better.
Li Yu politely declined each offer. He was merely a transient traveler through time and space and did not wish to leave his bloodline in this strange world.
As the clamor subsided, Ade approached Li Yu, the scent of grease still clinging to his short hair.
Suddenly, the young man knelt with a thud, his forehead hitting the stone ground with a dull thud.
"Lord Li Yu, please teach me how to master your power!"
Li Yu did not immediately agree to his request.
"What is your purpose in seeking power?"
Ade lowered his head.
"Ever since I was little, I've known I was different from others. I want to find out the meaning of life. Which one, the Void Beasts or humans, is truly the destiny of this world?"
Li Yu saw the resilience and courage in the child's eyes.
In a moment of danger, this young man bravely stepped forward, facing countless Void Beasts alone.
This courage and sense of responsibility made Li Yu feel a fondness for him.
He gently leaned down and helped Ade to his feet.
"My time in this world is limited, and my abilities are not suitable for you. But these few days, I can try to help you discover a path unique to you…"
Li Yu's Saint inheritance could not be taught to Ade.
Except for Li Yu, an anomaly, the souls of other Saints are actually the reincarnated true spirits of the previous generation of Saints.
The twelve Gold Saints, Pegasus, Dragon, Phoenix, Cygnus… While the names of the Saints of each constellation differ in each reincarnation, their true spirits are actually the same.
These true spirits, like Athena, choose a human vessel to merge with during each Holy War.
The human chosen by the true spirit becomes the Saint for that Holy War.
It is simply impossible for an ordinary human to awaken their Cosmo through arduous cultivation.
Moreover, the abilities Ade displayed, in Li Yu's view, possessed infinite potential.
To this day, he had never seen anyone who could completely withstand his Absolute Zero Domain with just one hand.
It was late, and the villagers were all fast asleep. Li Yu and Ade sat cross-legged facing each other, the faint bonfire casting flickering shadows on their faces.
Li Yu pondered for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and said lightly.
"Show me your ability in its entirety!"
Ade nodded. He walked to the bonfire, extended his right hand, and a faint, ethereal glow emanated from his palm.
The flickering flames completely solidified under his right hand, the tendrils of fire twisting to form a bizarre shape in the air.
Li Yu's pupils constricted. He had initially thought Ade's ability was a domain, capable of resisting everything outside himself.
But from what he saw now, the ability of Ade's right hand was clearly stasis.
Absolute stasis. Time, space, all changes—everything was halted under the power of his right hand… Li Yu had never heard of such an ability before.
Ade then extended his left hand, which had been curled in his sleeve. This time, the flames instantly shot up over three meters high, and the remaining charcoal instantly burned itself out, turning into white ash.
Li Yu frowned slightly. Ade's left hand ability was even more terrifying than his right hand.
It was as if, in an instant, it had ignited all the residual heat of the bonfire… The left hand had the power to halt everything, while the right hand had the power to accelerate everything, allowing it to complete a process that would normally take several hours in an extremely short time.
Combined with the Void Beasts of this world, Li Yu's pupils dilated violently. He suddenly remembered someone, or rather, a god!
Now Li Yu was ninety percent certain that this chaotic, primordial world he had arrived in was precisely the Bleach World!
If he wasn't mistaken, this young man before him was none other than the future god of the Bleach World, the Soul King!
The Soul King was born at the dawn of the Bleach World. With his own power, he divided the originally chaotic and disordered Bleach World into five realms: Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, the Human World, Hell, and the Dangai… He even used himself as a keystone to stabilize the five realms. It could be said that the entire Bleach World was created by the Soul King alone.
Li Yu's eyes darkened slightly. As far as he knew, the Soul King's fate was extremely tragic… A god who created a world with his own power was betrayed by his subordinates, turned into a human pillar, and sealed within a crystal, spending endless years.
But if this young man before him did not step forward and become the Soul King.
Then this world would undoubtedly be destroyed by the ever-increasing Void Beasts… After a moment of contemplation, Li Yu decided to leave the choice to Ade himself.
He slowly began to speak.
"Ade, I see the essence of your power. Your right hand possesses the power to halt all things, and your left hand possesses the power of advancement…"
"These two powers are not powers that humans can possess. Your birth is an act of heaven, and an inevitable choice of the world's will."
"If you continue down this path, what awaits you will be a very difficult and painful journey, perhaps even a fate worse than death!"
"Even so, do you still wish to learn from me?"
After hearing Li Yu's words, Ade stood there stunned, not saying a word.
After a while, he clenched his fists, raised his head, and his pair of light blue eyes sparkled in the darkness.
"Lord Li Yu, my parents died at the hands of Void Beasts when I was very young. I've always thought that if I had possessed enough power back then, perhaps they wouldn't have died…"
"Therefore, if the prosperity of humanity and the end of loneliness for all children can be exchanged for my single sacrifice, I will not hesitate, even if I am shattered to pieces."
As Ade spoke these words, Li Yu could almost see a golden divine light emanating from him.
Li Yu nodded slightly. Indeed, Ade's birth was no accident.
Ade was the choice of the entire Bleach World, the destined Soul King. He was like the Gold Saints, born to dedicate everything to the Goddess.
"Good, follow me!"
Li Yu and Ade arrived on the surface.
Knowing that this cycle world was the Bleach World.
Li Yu already had a rough idea why his Absolute Zero Domain couldn't completely kill these Void Beasts.
The essence of these Void Beasts was souls, or rather, spiritons. Their physical bodies were merely highly concentrated spiritons, gathered together, and not truly existing physical forms.
His Absolute Zero Domain could only freeze these Void Beasts, but not completely kill them.
Therefore, the key to solving everything still lay with Ade.
According to the records in the Bleach World's Book of Realms.
The Soul King was the first physical manifestation of power in the Bleach World!
He was the source of all special abilities, such as those of the Quincy, Shinigami, and Fullbringers!
He was also the creator of worlds like Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, the Human World, Hell, and the Dangai!
He was the keystone and foundation of the existence of all realms!
The Soul King was everything, and the Soul King was unique!
What Li Yu needed to do was to guide Ade to create a power system unique to the Bleach World.
During the woman's childbirth process earlier, Li Yu had personally witnessed the process of Void Beasts turning into spiritons. To completely kill these Void Beasts, he first needed to find a way to turn them into spiritons.
Opening a new world?
Interesting, Li Yu's lips curved slightly!
