Chapter 519 Life and Death

Aizen frowned. Even if the victory or defeat was determined at this moment, he didn't think Hongjiang was the one who could preach to him. No one could.

But the other party gave him a very strange feeling. Rather than preaching, it was more like sharing, sharing the secrets he knew with a 'friend' without reservation.

What is Death? What is virtuality? Speaking of this issue, Hongjiang seemed to have returned to the days when he first went to Hueco Mundo. If he had not communicated with Stark and Harribel, who were Arrancars by their own strength, such as Vastod, and had not communicated with Liesen and others. With guidance, he may never think about such a non-problem.

Because the answer is too simple. Death is the guardian who maintains the balance of the soul, and Xu is the selfish destroyer who devours the soul. These two are two opposite poles, irreconcilable enemies!

Yes, the God of Death and the Hollow are two completely opposite extremes. This is almost a consensus, but apart from their respective natures and responsibilities, isn't there a deeper reason for this opposition?

"What I'm going to say next are all my guesses. After all, I'm far from the level where I can confirm this guess." Hong Jiang continued: "What is a void and what is a god of death? Perhaps the answer has already been placed in front of us. ”

He tapped the hilt of his Zanpakutō, and a white rune of death and life appeared. This is a skill that every Shinigami must master. It is a means of extraditing souls staying in the world to the Soul Society— —Soul Burial.

"Soul burial, soul burial, soul funeral. Since it has gone through the funeral, it naturally means death. Besides, isn't the Soul Society a world where only the dead can stay?"

Hong Jiang said quietly: "So, the power of the God of Death, or the power of the God of Death, represents the power of death." Then he smiled bitterly and said: "We who can't even leave the body after being killed can't say that we still have it. 'Life' right?"

Yoruichi frowned. This was the first time she heard this rhetoric. On the other side, Ichimaru Gin held his chin and looked thoughtful in his clothes.

"What about the corresponding Hollow?" Aizen took the words, but paused again. The answer seemed obvious, but for a moment it felt a bit subversive.

"Since it is the opposite, virtual nature represents life."

Hongjiang confirmed the thoughts of Aizen and everyone who was still awake at the scene. It was obviously a creature that brought misfortune and destruction, but it represented life. This sounded really ironic.

"The biggest reason for becoming a Hollow is that he has a great attachment to the present world. To put it bluntly, it means he doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to admit his own death, which then creates a hollow in his heart and becomes a Hollow who has lost his mind."

"Actually, what they lost was not their hearts or their minds, but the death they should have had, and they became an extreme creature with only life, a tyrannical spirit body, and abnormal persistence, which are all manifestations of life."

Yoruichi couldn't help but interrupt: "But this doesn't mean anything, dead fish eyes."

Hongjiang nodded, "Indeed, even if I stayed in Hueco Mundo for nearly a hundred years, there is no way to prove that Xu's power is the power of life, but this is indeed the possibility that I think is closest to the answer."

"Hahaha, you are very curious about the Ten Blades, aren't you, Butterfly Tomb?" Aizen asked with a smile, Hongjiang was noncommittal.

"Then you should know that the ten blades represent the ten ways of death. They are the top existences in the Great Void. Now you say that the Void represents life, don't you think it's stupid?!"

Loneliness, aging, sacrifice, nothingness, despair, destruction, intoxication, madness, greed, and anger. The ten blades respectively represent these ten ways of death. This is also the source of their power. From this point of view, the power of the void should indeed come from Because of death, Hongjiang, who had placed Lisen in the Ten Blades early, could not have known this.

"It's just a way of death, how can it represent death?"

Hong Jiang's words were astonishing and he continued: "Only life can lead to loneliness, aging, and sacrifice! Mr. Aizen, the power possessed by the Ten Blades is exactly what only life can possess."

"Death is death, nothing superfluous!"

Aran's eyes widened. Hongjiang's words were like a heavy hammer on his heart, arbitrarily opening up a new understanding for him. And along this path, everything he did...

"Yes, Mr. Aizen, it was the appearance of the Ten Blades that gave me the courage to share my extremely absurd guess with you." Hongjiang spread his hands: "Compared to the Shinigami, the Hollow is too pure. They can only rely on instinct at first. To pursue what you are missing is like supplementing food when you are hungry and drinking water when you are thirsty. It is as dangerous and pure as a wild beast.”

"So, what exactly is missing from Xu? Their evolutionary path is accompanied by blood and death. Devouring their opponents and strengthening themselves may be a hard condition for their evolution, but the various deaths in the process are their The basis of evolution.”

"Most of them will be lost in the stack of life, and will stagnate after becoming Killian. Only a few will vaguely understand what they are pursuing, maintain their sanity, and become Yachukas!"

"At the end of Vastod, it was very clear that loneliness, aging, sacrifice, etc. are the paths that lead life to death." Hong Jiang said, with a hint of sadness in his tone: "If their If evolution is a process of filling vacancies, then it is obvious that what Xu has been pursuing is the death that they abandoned first. "

"What a miserable bunch of guys..."

Hong Jiang's words seemed to cast a dark cloud over everyone's minds, at least that's what Ye Yi felt.

As a god of death, it is not that I have never felt compassion for Hollows, but this is mostly due to knowing that the other person's face originally had a human face under the mask. It is better to say that it is compassion for Hollows than for humans who have become monsters.

But now, even if this creature has nothing to do with humans, she will feel pity for it in her heart. After all, according to Dead Fish Eyes, these are just a group of poor guys who pursue normal birth, old age, illness and death but don't know it.

Aizen didn't retort. There was no expression on his face. He was not the type to pity anyone. He was very confused at the moment, but the strange thing was that his thoughts were extremely clear. They were Hong Jiang's thoughts, and they contained his future, the future of being deceived!

"This is just a guess. The pursuit of death is only in terms of power. I actually prefer to call it the transformation of the Hollow Death God." Urahara patted Yoruichi on the shoulder, turned to Hong Jiang and said, "Okay, Don't be so pitiful, otherwise I suspect you will want to kill yourself when you say the next thing."

Hong Jiang smiled bitterly. If not Yoruichi loves him the most in the world, Urahara understands him best.

After compiling his emotions, Hong Jiang continued to share: "Whether you admit my guess or not, what follows will be an indisputable fact. Of course, I still stick to my guess."

Hong Jiang took a deep breath, "Since Death represents death and Xu represents life..."

"Then Bengyu, who can break the boundary between the God of Death and the Hollow..."

"What does it mean, Mr. Aizen?"
