Over the next few days, Li Yu and Ade continuously hunted Void Beasts. Li Yu was responsible for releasing his Absolute Zero Domain to freeze the Void Beasts, while Ade was responsible for killing them.
Soon, the Void Beasts in the areas near the village were completely wiped out by the two of them.
Ade truly lived up to being chosen by the World Will; in just a few days, his soul power had skyrocketed like a rocket. The occasional bursts of spiritual pressure would transform into towering pillars of light, tearing temporary rifts in the chaotic sky.
Weaker Void Beasts had long since scattered and fled under such intense spiritual pressure, but the colossal Void Beasts, with bodies over a hundred meters tall, were drawn by this power and gathered like dark clouds.
Their bodies could withstand Quincy Power, and Ade needed dozens of arrows to completely kill them.
Li Yu's Absolute Zero Domain also required more time than usual to freeze them.
Li Yu understood that this was the backlash of the chaotic world's consciousness. If they couldn't defeat these Void Beasts...
Ade, at the mercy of the Void Beasts, all his previous efforts would be like the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror, turning into nothing.
But the attacking Void Beasts were too numerous; Ade alone simply couldn't kill them all!
After a fierce battle, a giant Void Beast crashed to the ground, turning into a sky full of spiritual particles.
Ade's hands trembled violently; frequent bow-drawing and arrow-shooting left him unable to even lift his arms.
More dark figures appeared on the horizon. Li Yu used his Telekinesis to lift his body.
"Let's go back to the village first."
In a stone house in the underground village, Ade buried his face in his knees, his damp, sea-blue short hair clinging to his forehead.
Just now, a giant Void Beast invaded the village, killing several villagers before being slayed by the returning Li Yu and Ade.
"Master, I'm too weak..."
If he were stronger, he could have cleared all the nearby Void Beasts, and such a tragedy wouldn't have happened.
"You've done very well. Everyone needs time to grow. It took me seven or eight years to achieve what I have today."
Recalling the efforts he made to earn the title of Aquarius Gold Saint, Li Yu couldn't help but feel deeply emotional.
Ade's daily growth rate was at least equivalent to a month of his own hard cultivation previously.
He had once thought himself a prodigy, but in front of the future Soul King, Li Yu knew what truly astonishing speed was.
Suddenly, Ade looked up, his eyes sparkling.
"Master, can I teach my abilities to others? If other people in the village could master Quincy Power, with their help, we could definitely defeat the Void Beasts, and the village wouldn't be attacked!"
Li Yu's gaze fell on the flickering firelight on the rock wall, his heart stirring. What was meant to come had finally arrived.
In the Bleach World, there would be four transcendent systems: Quincy, Soul Reaper, Fullbring, and Hollow!
The origins of the first three powers all came from the Soul King.
Quincy are all descendants of the Soul King's bloodline... Yhwach, who claimed to be the Soul King reincarnated, called all Quincy his sons. It wasn't that he wanted to take advantage of others; it was the truth. The blood of the Soul King flowed within all Quincy.
Fullbring, on the other hand, was a fragment of the Soul King's physical body, infused into a mortal's body, manifesting as a certain power of rules.
Both of these powers were related to Ade himself.
To bestow transcendent power upon ordinary people who were not blood relatives, one could only take the path of a Soul Reaper.
"Have you thought it through? If you give transcendent abilities to others, you will no longer be the only transcendent in this world. Betrayal and suspicion will follow!"
Li Yu's voice carried a chilling coldness.
Ade pondered for a moment, then showed a brilliant smile.
"I've thought it through, Master. If it's just me alone, there's no way to make this world return to normal."
"Moreover, I grew up eating from many families; everyone in the village is my kin. I trust them and they would never harm me."
Li Yu shook his head, no longer trying to persuade him.
Although Quincy Power is powerful, Hollows killed by this power will turn into the purest spiritual particles, losing the possibility of reincarnation.
Hollows purified by Soul Reaper power will gain the chance to be reborn.
For the world to function normally, the emergence of Soul Reaper power was only a matter of time.
Li Yu lowered his eyelids and said faintly.
"Since you've thought it through, then announce it tonight..."
...After dinner, the giant stone platform in the center of the village was illuminated by torches.
Ade stood on the stone top, the firelight reflecting on his youthful yet determined face.
"Those who are willing to fight with me to eliminate the Void Beasts and restore peace to the world, please step forward!"
Hundreds of villagers gathered at the sound. They looked up at Ade, their faces, long tormented by life, showing no hope, only helplessness and resignation to their circumstances.
Some villagers whispered below.
"Fighting Void Beasts? Am I tired of living?"
"Exactly, we're not like Ade, born with transcendent power. We're just ordinary people."
"It's already hard enough to survive, why bother looking for trouble?"
Ade waited for a long time, but the area below the stone platform remained silent. His tightly clenched fists gradually loosened, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.
"Is there no one?"
Just then, four small figures pushed through the crowd and climbed onto the platform using the broken stone steps.
The leader, Tsunayashiro Kyogen, stood tall and slender, with a sharpness beneath his narrow eyelids that belied his age.
"Brother Ade, I'm here. From now on, we'll fight together!"
"I, Shiba Enjou, pledge to fight with you until the end of my life!"
The short-haired, fiery youth clenched his fist, revealing a confident smile!
Kuchiki Kyo's face appeared exceptionally delicate in the firelight. He nodded to Ade.
"Ade, I will fight with you until the very last moment!"
The last one was a timid little girl, the village's little princess, Shi Feng Yuan Ye Hua!
She twiddled her fingers, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"Brother Ade, I... can I try?"
The villagers below exploded into an uproar.
"The children are still so young!"
Someone shouted at the village chief.
"Village Chief, the entire new generation is here, please persuade them!"
The old village chief walked forward, leaning on his cane, his sharp gaze sweeping over the silent crowd.
"Everyone, how much longer do you think we can eke out a living in this underground place?"
The cave instantly fell silent.
The fluorescent moss on the rock walls flickered, reflecting faces filled with worry. The nearby tree roots had long been dug up, and moles and earthworms were becoming increasingly scarce. Perhaps in three months, or even just one month, they would starve to death.
"Living as humbly as moles, it's better to fight to the death! Count me in!"
A limping man suddenly shouted.
"That's right! We're going to die anyway, why not try a different way of living!"
"But the children..."
"Isn't there also Lord Li Yu?"
Someone looked at Li Yu, who stood in the shadows.
"I heard he is a god sent from above."
...Li Yu looked at the four youths on the stone platform. Their eyes held a mix of fear and excitement, and beneath their tattered robes was a vibrant vitality.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the World Will was indeed marvelous. These four must be the ancestors of the four great noble families of the Bleach World.
Strange, why do I remember there being five great families?
Never mind, the day Shion asked him to succeed as the Pope was drawing nearer, and he didn't have much time left in this world.
As long as he could teach them the foundations of Quincy Power and Soul Reaper Power, the task of building civilization would be complete.
The path of the Bleach World would ultimately have to be walked by these five youths themselves!
