"Where is this? …Wait, did my cheat ability just kick in?"
In the consciousness space, and at the moment, no one else was around.
A newcomer had just appeared.
He looked around, but there wasn't much to see. With no answers in sight, he started guessing what this place was.
The Newbie was from a cruel world. Like really fucking cruel.
Right now, he was nothing more than a mortal. He already knew which world he'd landed in—it was the same world from the novel he read like 20 times.
"Hmm? A newcomer?"
Footsteps echoed.
A man strolled out of a shimmering space tunnel at a calm, unhurried pace. It was Aizen.
He spotted Renzo, paused for a moment, then smiled and walked over.
"Huh? You're… Aizen? Is this Bleach?"
The Newbie turned his head, eyes going wide when he saw the familiar face and outfit—especially that haori draped over his shoulders.
His heart started pounding.
This was Aizen!
The high-IQ big bad himself! Who wouldn't be on edge? In a place like this, where he didn't know the rules yet, Aizen could very well be playing him like a fiddle.
"Heh. No need to be so nervous," Aizen said with a gentle smile. "I might be Aizen, but I'm actually a transmigrator too. Strictly speaking, we're from the same… pack."
He knew exactly what the newcomer was worried about.
He'd seen the same reaction from several others before—perfectly normal.
"???"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like," Aizen explained. "We're all versions of the same person, just in different worlds. The details are a bit complicated. Here—give me your hand, and you'll understand everything."
He extended his hand toward Newbie Renzo.
"Yo! Morning~"
"Oh? We've got a newcomer? Count me in!"
Another voice chimed in as Uchiha Renzo walked in.
He stopped for a second when he saw the scene, then stepped forward cheerfully, placing his own hand on top of Aizen's. The two of them looked at the newcomer with matching smiles.
Newbie Renzo hesitated. The pressure was real.
But… it was just a handshake, right? Surely there wouldn't be some hidden trap?
But thinking of his world, where death could fall on him anytime. Well, yeah, no choice.
With that thought, he placed his hand on top of Uchiha Renzo's.
In an instant, a flood of information and power surged into his mind and body. He froze in place, eyes glazing over as the overwhelming torrent crashed through him.
Seeing that he'd be out of it for a while, Aizen and Uchiha Renzo casually moved to the side and found seats.
"This is interesting," Uchiha Renzo said with a grin as he processed the new intel in his mind. "This one's from a cultivation world. That world's got some serious potential. He can be the key to the next level."
"Indeed," Aizen agreed with a nod. "Not only does it follow the proper path, but it also has all kinds of laws there. Really great world. Definitely worth keeping an eye on."
"I'm especially curious about the Gu Worms there. Such magical treasures are worth studying."
"And the Refinement, talismans, formations…" Uchiha Renzo added. "A long-established cultivation world with such a complete system—it's a goldmine for research."
"For the real valuable stuff," Aizen said thoughtfully, "we don't have to snatch it outright. If we can analyze it, we might be able to make a copy. But that's going to take time."
"My thoughts exactly. If we go for a direct grab, we could trigger all sorts of problems. In that world, it's not impossible for Gu masters to attack us across the river of time."
Aizen's tone was serious. Worlds of that caliber came with way too many uncertainties, past and future alike.
"Phew…"
At that moment, Newbie Renzo finally opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you said we're the same person—guess we are."
He clasped his hands in a respectful salute, gratitude written all over his face. "Thanks for the boost. I finally have a way to protect myself."
Before this, ever since figuring out which world he'd landed in, he'd been walking on eggshells. And anxious—constantly.
After all, it was a really one of the worst worlds… a cruel one.
He was from Reverend Insanity, that world full of Gu.
Before, every step had to be taken with extreme caution there.
But now? Those worries were gone.
At least in the mortal realm, he felt confident enough to say he was unbeatable.
"No need to thank us—we're all on the same side," Uchiha Renzo said with a grin. Aizen smiled and waved it off as well.
"We were just talking about your future plans," Uchiha added. "Why don't you join in?"
"Sure, I'd appreciate it. I could use some guidance right now."
Reverend Renzo nodded and sat down across from Uchiha Renzo. "Let me introduce myself properly, I'm Renzo Primus Simulacrum."
"Hey? We've got a newbie? What's his deal?"
"Yeah... such a name, Renzo Primus Simulacrum."
One by one, the others arrived—Hermione, Eevee, Pirate, Superman, and more.
"He's from that OP world? That's great news."
After some cheerful greetings and playful teasing, the sharing process was done.
Xiao Yan (from BTTH Xianxia world) looked at the newcomer with a sense of kinship. They weren't all that different. His own world's cultivation system had its quirks, but personally, he preferred the Reverend World's approach—it was cleanly divided, easy to follow, and immersive.
The power system in Reverend Insanity has an incredible structure.
There are two types of people: those who can be awakened by Hope Gu and become Gu Masters, and those who cannot. While Gu Masters are regarded as superior to ordinary humans, both groups still fall under the category of mortals.
A Mortal Gu Master starts at Rank 1 and can advance up to Rank 5, which represents the peak of mortal power. To surpass Rank 5, one must ascend to the Immortal Realm. The gap between mortal and immortal ranks is so immense that they cannot be compared.
"Newbie," Pirate Renzo said, "You have to get the Sovereign Immortal Fetus Gu."
"You can't just snatch it," Superman replied, shaking his head. "If Heaven's Will strikes first, it's game over for the newbie. Wait for the MC, Fang Yuan, to claim it—then you can analyze him and create a copy of the Gu through fantasy creation."
"Exactly. That's much safer," Hermione and Xiao Yan agreed.
"I'll try analyzing it then," Reverend Renzo said.
Better to play it safe.
And with the original story's intel? Becoming a Gu Master would be child's play.
"I'll take that as a good omen," Reverend Renzo said with a smile.
"By the way," Swordsman Renzo added, "make sure you learn the Sword Path. I'll need it."
"Also," Uchiha Renzo said, "put some effort into Blood, Human and and Refinement paths. If it's too much work, just use Shadow Clones."
"And Dream Path too!" Eevee chimed in. "Your world's the first we've seen with such a system. That's gonna be useful for everyone."
"No problem," Reverend Renzo promised.
Truth be told, he'd already planned to develop in multiple paths at once.
With opportunities like this, not learning would be letting everyone down.
Besides, he wanted to contribute to the group's overall strength.
Sitting back and leeching off others? Not his style.

A few months later — Consciousness Space
"Well, it's good that everyone's here… well, almost," Aizen said, eyes scanning the group as he noticed only one person missing: Reverend Renzo.
Uchiha Renzo smirked. "You spent months making sure the meeting happened without the Newbie, Aizen. There's got to be a reason."
Aizen's expression darkened. "There's definitely something off about that guy. I can feel it."
"Honestly, the safest bet is to just kill him… or at least trap him here in this space."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why are you turning into the evil boss already?" Eevee raised his paws in mock surrender.
Hero Renzo shook his head, speechless. "Aizen, you seriously want to kill the newbie? What's wrong with you?"
"The last Boss is here!"
"..."
Before things spiraled, Pirate Renzo waved his hand with a grin. "Alright, guys, let's hear what Boss Aizen has to say first. Let him cook."
Aizen's face hardened, commanding attention. "Let me explain my thoughts, then we can vote on what to do. Also, this memory can be blocked when we share our abilities with Reverend. So no hard feelings."
He took a breath, then began, "First, this space—we don't even know where it is or how it connects our worlds…"
For almost an hour, Aizen kept talking...
And one by one, as Aizen laid out his fears and theories, the faces of the other Renzos grew darker, each revelation hitting harder than the last.
They noticed what was off...
