Chapter 1158 The Curtain Falls, the Return

The powerful figures from the Paradise present were all shocked by Lu Li's outrageous demand—it was for a thousand late-stage ninth-tier Great Worlds.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they all chose to back down and hand over quite a few worlds today, totaling about two hundred or so. They are all peak ninth-tier Paradise Realm experts, and it took them a lot of time to accumulate these worlds along the way.

After all, their amusement park's system is different from that of a space. Each person has to manage their own world, and everyone has limited energy. In reality, even at the peak of the ninth tier, they don't lack resources, so naturally they don't have the special effort to manage many such ninth-tier worlds.

Generally speaking, these are worlds that were conquered before one's strength reached its peak, around the late stage of the ninth rank, and were specially left behind as a memento.

Therefore, as the group of people who stand at the top of the park, they already control a large part of the park's resources. Yet Lu Li directly asked the park for a thousand worlds. Can the park provide that?

Or rather, because of the Paradise's mechanism, many worlds are affiliated with the powerful individuals within the Paradise. How many worlds does the Paradise itself actually own? Is that enough?

This feels like going to a bank to withdraw money; the bank may have a lot of total assets, but they may not have a lot of cash.

After all, even the worlds directly under the Paradise, such as the God and Demon Continent beneath their feet, need to be managed by people. This relatively backward management mechanism makes it difficult for the Paradise to mobilize a large amount of resources in a timely manner.

“Brother Prisoner… I think that’s a bit unrealistic. It might take a long time.”

The tattoo artist hesitated before speaking; this was the only connection he had with Lu Li that he could hardly call a friendship.

"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. My supporters have waited for thousands of years, what's a little bit of time? If it really doesn't work, I'll have the End Space make a contract directly with Paradise, and then we can take over slowly."

Lu Li's magnanimous demeanor only made the powerful figures in the paradise feel even more disgusted.

humiliation.

This is truly humiliating. Not only were they ripped off, but Lu Li is also trying to fleece the amusement park itself. He's even more of a bandit than them!

But they were helpless. They were outmatched. They were all at the peak of the ninth rank, but the twenty-odd of them couldn't do anything to Lu Li. They couldn't run away, and they couldn't fight him. What could they do if they didn't want to die?
This isn't a matter of whether they're tough or not; it's that they were incredibly stupid to come running just because the park called for them, and then inexplicably die because of a conflict with a third party.

You know, many people were still doing their own thing, and before they set off they just told the people in front of them that they would be right back. Who knew they would run over and get detained for fighting?

Just when the situation reached a stalemate, the End Space provided a solution.

[The End Space has entered into a contract with Paradise, acquiring one thousand world coordinates and world origin imprints. It will complete the repossession of the target world within one calendar month.]

Upon hearing the notification from the End Space, Lu Li beamed with delight. "Tsk, your Paradise is really rich! This is pretty straightforward. I should have just gone for the peak ninth-tier world."

The other powerful figures in the amusement park were also completely bewildered at this moment, but they soon received a notification from the park, telling them that they could turn back.

They immediately understood what was going on, and each of them felt extremely aggrieved, thinking that they had come all this way, accomplished nothing, and ended up losing a lot of the world.

Therefore, they inevitably harbor some resentment towards the amusement park itself, because at this level, frankly speaking, they are running away and becoming rule-breakers. Is it really that easy for the amusement park to deal with them?

If it weren't for the example of Wings of Freedom, there would have been nothing the amusement park could do if they had run away. The reason they stayed in the amusement park and were willing to respond to its call was simply because they felt that the amusement park had nurtured them and they were giving the amusement park face.

However, the Paradise failed to ascertain the enemy's true strength before letting them come and deliver themselves to the enemy, losing their high-level world for no reason. Anyone would be unhappy about that.

After all, they have carefully cultivated some of these worlds and have established relationships with the natives there. Giving them away would be like cutting off their own flesh.

Seeing that Lu Li had spoken, they dared not say anything more and left the Divine Demon Continent with a belly full of anger.

"Wait... everyone, wait a minute!"

This time, it was Tianmo's turn to be dumbfounded, because his previous confidence came from these 'big shots' in the Paradise, but now these big shots came and went in a hurry, just came over to pay Lu Li a protection fee and left. What kind of situation is this?

What about me? What should I do?
"Wait your mother!"

One of the most hot-tempered experts from the Paradise turned around and struck out with a palm, instantly blasting the Heavenly Demon to pieces, leaving no trace of his body.

In his view, this whole thing was caused by this native demon they didn't know. Why did you have to do something like that, detaining the supporters of the End Space for such a small achievement? And now you've caused trouble.

For a small gain, they ended up losing over 1,200 late-stage ninth-tier Great Worlds, suffering huge losses.

Lu Li saw the Heavenly Demon being killed, but he didn't try to stop it, since he hadn't planned to let the Heavenly Demon go anyway.

To be frank, this guy wasn't a good person on the God and Demon Continent either. Back then, he was a ruthless demon who committed all sorts of evil deeds, including burning, killing, and looting. It's just that after he transformed the forbidden zone, he became more arrogant and stopped causing trouble in the world.

Furthermore, with humanity's infatuation with strength, and after several eras, as legends were embellished and the number of demonic cultivators increased, the Heavenly Demon truly began to be regarded as the ultimate idol.

In addition, the Heavenly Demon killed many of the supporters of the End Space. If it weren't for Chu Chu and Xia Ren's special skills, they would have been killed as well. Based on this alone, Lu Li would not let him go.

"Brother Prisoner's demeanor is as impressive as ever; he truly remains an unrivaled figure of his generation."

The soulful singer sighed, then stepped into the sky, saying, "I have some personal matters to attend to, so I won't stay here and bother you any longer."

Lu Li originally had some questions for the Soul Singer, but seeing that the other party was in a hurry to leave and seemed to have something to do, he did not linger any longer. "If you have time in the future, you can come to the End to find me. At that time, we will be friends, not enemies, and we can drink and have fun together."

The Soul Singer smiled upon hearing this, "As long as you pioneers of the end don't come after me."

He has now betrayed Paradise, which is equivalent to becoming a rule-breaker again, but he doesn't seem that nervous, suggesting he may have some personal motives.

After the Soul Singer left, Lu Li descended from the sky with the others, and Aizen also used his great power to repair the sky of this world, calming the turbulent atmosphere of this world.

Zaraki seemed quite happy at this moment, "Captain-Commander Aizen, I didn't expect you to be in the space too."

"I already knew you were at the amusement park."

Aizen greeted Zaraki with a smile, "In fact, we've been adventuring in the Sea of ​​the World for so many years, and you've never heard of me? You're truly something else."

Aizen recognized Zaraki's potential back then, and even when Yhwach attacked Seireitei, he marked Zaraki as a special combatant. Sure enough, after years in Paradise, he reached the peak of the ninth rank, truly becoming a powerful figure. "What about Yachiru?"

Lu Li asked during the descent.

Upon hearing this, Zaraki slapped his forehead. "Oh no! I rushed over because I heard there was a battle between peak ninth-tier beings to enjoy. I left her in a world because I was afraid things would get too chaotic. Now that I've betrayed Paradise, she might be trapped there."

Do you have the coordinates of that world?

Lu Li asked.

Zaraki then gave the coordinates of that world to Lu Li. Lu Li checked the coordinates in the storage list of the End Space and found that this world was in the current transaction sequence. So he said, "Don't worry, the world where Yachiru is located has already belonged to the End Space. We can go find her later."

Upon hearing this, Zaraki breathed a sigh of relief. He usually didn't care about anything, but he was very concerned about Yachiru.

The group landed in what was originally the forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Demon, and Chu Chu and the others came to greet them.

"Greetings, Mr. Aizen. Greetings, Mr. Zaraki."

The shrimp even greeted us politely.

Gengmu was somewhat confused. "You know me?"

"I……"

Shrimp was intimidated by Zaraki's imposing manner and stammered, "I...I've seen Death Note."

Actually, she didn't like watching those fighting and killing anime, but because she knew that Lu Li's main world was Bleach and that he was going on a space adventure with Aizen, she watched it, so she was quite familiar with Zaraki's character.

"I see. By the way, Captain-Commander, what is the state of our world now?"

Zaraki suddenly realized, and looked at Aizen again.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li looked at Aizen with curiosity, because he didn't know what would happen to the world he originally controlled after he left.

"The world is currently under my control, and I have slowed down time. So, although we have been adventuring in the Sea of ​​Worlds for an entire era, only a thousand years have passed in the world of Death."

Aizen explained, "Don't worry, the Gotei 13 are still around. It's just that a few captains have changed. They didn't die in an accident; they've actually retired."

In the past, there was no such thing as retirement for the Gotei 13. At most, they would be promoted to the Zero Division. Any other "retirement" was actually due to various shady reasons for being disposed of.

However, after Aizen became the Captain-Commander, the Central 46 Chambers disappeared, the atmosphere in Soul Society improved, and many dark unspoken rules disappeared.

Furthermore, Hueco Mundo and Seireitei have a good relationship, and the higher-ups have reached a consensus, so the casualty rate on the Shinigami side has been greatly reduced. Captain-level Shinigami are even less likely to have accidents. As a result, some captains who are lazy or not keen on management have chosen to retire in the face of world peace.

Aizen eventually agreed to all of them, which led to some changes in the captain positions. However, some of the captains who were replaced ended up dead or injured.

Aizen discovered that the era of their bloody battle was a rare period of talent emergence in the Soul Society. Perhaps due to world peace, few talents have been born in later generations, and each new captain is less capable than the last.

For example, since Hueco Mundo is also under Aizen's control, and the high-ranking Hollows are all friends, if Las Noches were to order all its subordinate Hollows not to invade the Human World, then those Hollows would obediently comply.

Besides, the troublesome Hollows that appear in the present world are all irregular forces that do not belong to Las Noches; simply put, they are relatively weak Hollows.

Let's not even talk about the mindless Kylian. As for the likes of Adjuchas, they generally don't enter the mortal world, but there are exceptions. Once an Adjuchas appears, there will be captains to deal with it.

In the past, this kind of handling was never unexpected, after all, the veteran captains were all very strong, and they could handle not only the captains, but also the vice-captains.

However, some of the later new captains did indeed die at the hands of Adjuchas, which shows that they were not strong enough.

However, if you look back at the textbooks of the Shinigami Academy, you'll find that this isn't strange at all. After all, just like when Lu Li remembered watching the Bleach anime, when they first introduced the Hollows, they said that the Gillian would be handled by a vice-captain.

It turns out that this is really how it felt in times when talent was scarce.

After listening to Aizen's brief description of the current state of the Bleach world, Lu Li was filled with emotion and said that after dealing with the miscellaneous matters in the space, he would go back with Aizen to take a look. Zaraki also agreed and said that he would go together.

With the arrival of Aizen and Zaraki, the strange atmosphere among Chu Chu and the other two girls disappeared, much to Lu Li's relief. He wished he could keep his two male friends by his side forever.

"Now that this matter is settled, let's go back to the space first. We also need to get Zaraki to sign the contract again."

Lu Li said that his trip had been a complete success. He had not only rescued the people but also made a fortune. If it weren't for the strange atmosphere earlier, he would definitely be overjoyed right now.

After everyone agreed, they immediately had the End Space send down a teleportation glow, guiding them back to the End Space.

Since Zaraki wasn't from the End Space, he could only fly behind. Fortunately, being at the peak of the ninth rank, he was extremely fast and didn't find it difficult to keep up with the teleportation beams of the space.

Upon arriving at the End Space, thanks to the introduction of Lu Li, a super pioneer, and the fact that Zaraki was originally from the Bleach world, the End Space had no intention of making things difficult for him and directly re-signed a high-level contract with Zaraki.

Furthermore, the End Space was quite accommodating. Whether it was to give Lu Li face or to win over the hearts of a potential ninth-tier peak expert, it directly designated the world where Yachiru was located as Zaraki's home world, so that he could directly enter there to find Yachiru.

However, that world originally belonged to all of Zaraki, but he never managed it; it was just Yachiru who went there to play.

"By the way, Sousuke, since you're still in the End Space, why didn't you go and save Chuchu and the others before?"

After seeing Gengmu leave, Lu Li remembered another question.

"The End Space has never given me any related tasks."

Aizen explained, "In fact, I only emerged from seclusion three years ago. Before that, I had been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years. After emerging from seclusion this time, my strength increased, which is why I thought of hunting down the Soul Singer."
