Under Ulquiorra's explanation, Inoue Orihime finally understood the difference between the Shinigami and the current ghosts.
Grim Reaper was an organization created by ancient souls.
They were rotten and stupid. Selfish. Just taking care of everything in front of them.
But one thing to understand was that the Substitute Shinigami had been expelled by the Eternal Religion.
Inoue Orihime felt a flicker of enlightenment: "No wonder the law and order has only improved recently — it turned out to be like this..."
"Now you see the gap?"
Nelliel handed her a cup of tea and smiled.
When the Substitute Shinigami managed the world before, it was a mess. Hollows roamed the world at will. Gillian ran rampant across the world.
On the other hand, the blessed existence of the gods of death were actually lazy and unpretentious. There were obviously so many people, but most of them stayed behind in Seireitei. Studying and training every day.
It should be understood that what they really should do was patrol the world at night. But for such a simple thing, not many people were doing it at all.
With a deeper understanding of the drawbacks of the Shinigami system, Ulquiorra became even more disgusted with the existence of Seireitei and wanted to destroy it himself.
It was disgusting. Occupying the pit and not shitting!
Under the persuasion of the two beauties, Inoue Orihime decided to join the cult and become a goddess.
Now that she had a chance, she could go to the Supreme God Realm to take a look.
Why not.
A few days later.
After all the gods of death were eliminated, the previous buildings were demolished and replaced by a large number of temples. And a temple.
Aizen looked at the layout that was almost ready, and gave the order.
Ready to sacrifice!
The sacrifice this time was huge.
Not only the Virtual Circle and the Soul World, but also the present world would also offer sacrifices. Trinity.
This was exactly the triple sacrifice that Aizen had prepared.
That day.
A void altar emerged in the world.
Three people including Inoue Orihime and Kurosaki Natsuri stood on it.
In the Virtual Circle were Ulquiorra and Matsumoto Ranju, while in the Soul World were Jushiro Ukitake and Kuchiki Rukia.
"Is that mysterious chief priest about to start offering sacrifices?"
Yamamoto and his party, staying with Mako Hirako's Rapture Legion, looked at the mighty crowd and felt very nervous.
Now they could no longer deal with the Eternal Religion.
If the true god descended, there would be no room for them to live.
"Hope that the true god is just a hypocritical lie..."
...
After the festival was ready.
The corpses of those sages were thrown on the altar one after another, and even the corpses of some death gods were the same.
There used to be many chief priests who sacrificed corpses.
This was a death sacrifice.
Although it was not as good as a living sacrifice, it was sometimes necessary to pay attention to it.
At this time.
In the Soul World.
Liu Ning suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hmm? A triple sacrifice in a mortal world? Interesting..."
On the other side.
In the Virtual Circle.
Under the urging of Ulquiorra and Matsumoto Ranju, a large number of spiritual bodies were already densely packed on the altar.
All of them were former Shinigami and their families.
And in the present world.
Kurosaki Natsuri and others stood on the altar, the wind blowing their clothes.
The ceremony was about to begin.
"All the preparations are complete."
Ai Ran raised his hand.
"Trinity Sacrifice — begin!"
Crackle!
Three pillars of light shot up from the three altars at the same time, piercing the heavens and the earth!
In the soul world, a golden light also rose up.
The three beams of light intersected in the sky, forming a huge and complex formation!
The formation was mysterious and carried an aura that made people shudder.
At the same time, in the sky above the three worlds, a huge vortex of spiritual energy slowly formed.
Countless ghosts swarmed out of the vortex, and the sky was instantly filled with wailing spirits!
The Ghost General who was guarding the border of the soul world was stunned for a moment.
"What's going on?"
"The **** of **** has descended!"
A terrifying voice sounded in his mind.
"Quickly report to the Lord of the Underworld!"
In the Virtual Circle.
The beam of light rushed into the sky, carrying the sacrifices into the formation above.
On the other side of the soul world.
The golden light reflected the sky, as if opening a door to another world.
In the world of the living.
The void altar flickered with an eerie glow.
Inoue Orihime felt a terrifying pressure pressing down on her body, as if she was about to be crushed by something.
But at this moment.
A gentle force wrapped around her body.
"Don't be afraid."
Nelliel's voice rang out.
"This is the power of the Eternal God. As long as you believe, nothing can hurt you."
Inoue Orihime looked up at the sky.
In the sky above the three worlds, a huge silhouette slowly formed.
The silhouette was extremely tall and carried a terrifying pressure that surpassed any existence she had ever felt.
Even Yamamoto, who was hiding in the distance, felt his heart tremble.
"This is..."
"Is this the true god of the Eternal Religion?"
His face was pale, and his whole body was trembling involuntarily.
In the air.
The massive figure looked down at the three worlds.
"The Trinity Sacrifice..."
A voice like the roar of a thousand thunderbolts echoed through the three worlds.
"Accept it."
Bam!
The formations above the three worlds suddenly burst out with dazzling light!
The light covered the three worlds, and the sacrifices were wrapped in it, rising toward the figure in the sky!
Countless ghosts swarmed out of the void, like locusts crossing the sea, rushing toward the sky!
In the soul world.
Liu Ning appeared above the Golden Light.
"Where does such a powerful sacrifice come from?"
She looked at the sacrifice below and her expression flickered.
The sacrifice was huge, spanning the three realms.
This was the first time she had seen such a grand ceremony since she became the Lord of the Underworld.
"Catch!"
Liu Ning raised his hand.
A terrifying force burst out from his palm, directly drawing the sacrifices from the three worlds into his own hands!
The sacrifices were absorbed by the formation and turned into pure energy, merging into Liu Ning's body.
Bang!
A terrifying aura exploded outward, shaking the three worlds!
"Hmm?"
Liu Ning frowned slightly.
"Too much. The mortal world cannot withstand such energy..."
She raised her hand again, and a barrier appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the three worlds.
The terrifying aura was blocked within the barrier and did not spread further.
"This sacrifice is acceptable."
Liu Ning said.
"I will bestow a gift upon the one who prepared this sacrifice."
In the world of the living.
Ai Ran looked at the sky.
Liu Ning's voice rang in his mind.
"Aizen."
"Presumptuous as the master of the ceremony to prepare such a grand sacrifice — I will bestow upon you the authority of the underworld."
Ai Ran's heart beat violently.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
His voice was full of excitement.
His long-cherished wish was finally about to come true!
Liu Ning looked at the three worlds and said, "The underworld is in urgent need of talented people. Since you have presented such a grand sacrifice, I will give you the opportunity to become the manager of the underworld."
"Ten Temple Yamabiko."
"The power to govern the hellish laws of this world!"
Ai Ran kowtowed on the ground.
"This subordinate will never disappoint the Lord's委托!"
Liu Ning nodded slightly.
"Hmm."
At this moment.
A voice suddenly came from the side.
"Lord of the Underworld."
It was the first king of the soul world — Ouyang Shaogong.
"What is it?"
"The sacrifice has been completed, and the next step is to integrate the three worlds into the underworld. I wonder if the Lord has any instructions?"
Liu Ning thought for a moment and said, "The Three Worlds are all under the jurisdiction of the underworld. Integrate them into the underworld system according to the rules."
"Understood."
Ouyang Shaogong nodded.
"In addition, there is one more thing..."
Ouyang Shaogong glanced at Ai Ran and said, "This child has worked hard this time and deserves a reward."
Liu Ning looked at Ai Ran and said, "You have performed well. From now on, you will assist Ouyang Shaogong in managing the Three Worlds. Do not disappoint my trust."
Ai Ran's face was full of joy.
"Thank you, Lord!"
At this time.
Liu Ning raised his hand and pointed at the sky.
A ray of purple light shot out from his fingertip and flew toward Ai Ran's眉心!
Swish!
The purple light penetrated directly into Ai Ran's眉心 and merged with his spirit!
"Ah!"
Ai Ran let out a groan.
A terrifying force was running through his body.
This force was extremely powerful, as if it could tear the world apart!
But at the same time, the force was also extremely gentle, as if it was protecting him.
"This is the power of the underworld."
Liu Ning's voice rang out.
"The Ten Temple Yamabiko — this is your reward."
Ai Ran's eyes were full of excitement.
From now on, he would be the true master of the underworld!
In the air.
Liu Ning looked at the three worlds below.
"The sacrifice is complete. I will take my leave."
"Wait, Lord!"
Ai Ran suddenly called out.
"My Lord, the sacrifices include many souls with extraordinary talent. Can they be used to help manage the underworld?"
Liu Ning thought for a moment and said, "They can."
"The Underworld Management Authority — use it to appoint suitable candidates as the Ten Temple Yamabiko, to assist you in managing the three worlds."
"This subordinate understands!"
Ai Ran's eyes lit up.
The Ten Temple Yamabiko were the ten most powerful underworld managers.
Now, he had the power to appoint them!
The next step was to select the candidates.
Liu Ning disappeared into the void.
Ai Ran looked at the three worlds below with a gleam in his eyes.
"Now, it's my turn."
He waved his hand.
"Everyone — listen!"
The ghosts that had been captured from the three worlds gathered in front of Ai Ran.
"From now on, I am the Lord of the Underworld — Ten Temple Yamabiko!"
"I will select ten ghosts with extraordinary talent from among you to become my subordinates, the Ten Temple Yamabiko!"
"You will assist me in governing the three worlds!"
The ghosts were full of longing.
Some of them were former Shinigami, and some were former Hollows.
But no matter who they were, they all wanted to become stronger.
"Master, I am willing to follow you!"
"Master, please accept me!"
Ai Ran looked at the ghosts below and smiled.
"Those who are willing to join the Eternal Religion — come to me. I will select the most outstanding ones as the Ten Temple Yamabiko!"
The ghosts swarmed forward.
This was a grand recruitment.
In the world of the living, Inoue Orihime also felt the pull of the underworld.
"I want to join."
She said.
"I am willing to become a part of the underworld and help the Lord manage the three worlds."
Ai Ran looked at her and nodded.
"Very well. From now on, you will be the goddess of the underworld — one of my most important subordinates."
Inoue Orihime's face showed a trace of joy.
From now on, she would become part of the Eternal Religion.
She would help the Lord of the Underworld govern the three worlds.
In the soul world.
Kuchiki Rukia and Jushiro Ukitake also accepted the invitation.
"We are willing to become the Ten Temple Yamabiko and assist the Lord in governing the three worlds."
Ai Ran nodded with satisfaction.
"Very well. From now on, all of you are my subordinates. We will work together to govern the underworld!"
The ghosts cheered.
The era of the underworld had arrived!
In the distance.
Yamamoto and the others looked at this scene with fear in their eyes.
"It seems... the era of the gods has truly arrived..."
His voice was trembling.
From now on, the world would be ruled by the gods.
And the Shinigami, who had governed the world for countless years, would become history!
