Death: Captain Millennium

Three days later, in the ice room deep beneath the Maou of Seireitei, everything was quiet and cold.

This is a mysterious place covered by ice all year round. The cold air here is so strong that it can freeze everything.

In this silence, Bayunzhai, who was lying on the cold jade bed, slowly opened his eyes and gradually regained consciousness from his deep sleep.

When she just regained consciousness, she heard a heated argument.

The sound came through the thick ice, and although it was a little blurry, the powerful spiritual pressure contained in it was clearly perceptible. Bayunzhai was startled and quickly focused his attention to listen.

All that could be heard was a heated argument between Ziwei Emperor and Yuan Liuzhai. Their voices echoed in the enclosed space, accompanied by waves of spiritual energy, causing the surrounding thousand-year-old black ice to tremble slightly, and tiny shards of ice fell from the sky from time to time.

"Emperor, I'm afraid this is not a good way to act!"

The Ryujin Jakka in Yuanliuzai's hand was also vibrating restlessly in its scabbard, making a buzzing sound, as if it could sense the owner's inner worries.

"The Sun's True Fire and the Moon's Marrow are inherently in conflict with each other. If we rashly fuse them together, the resulting energy reaction could very likely blow up the entire Seireitei!"

Genryusai continued, his words filled with worry.

"But only in this way can we refine the elixir to repair Lin Yu's spirit body! Or should we not save him?"

The star map in front of Emperor Ziwei kept flickering and changing. The light patterns of the Big Dipper and the moon were intertwined, forming a complex and mysterious lock-shaped pattern.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Liuzhai fell silent. Lin Yu must be saved, but the method that Ziwei Emperor suggested was too risky.

For a moment, the only sounds in the entire ice room were the heavy breathing of Emperor Ziwei and Yuan Liuzhai and the occasional sound of falling ice.

Yuan Liusai gripped the hilt of Ryujin Jakka tightly, his brows furrowed, and he kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

What choice should he make? Should he take a huge risk and try to save Lin Yu, or give up this seemingly crazy plan to preserve the safety of Seireitei?

"Cough cough..."

A sudden cough broke the atmosphere of the heated argument.

Bayunsai's face was pale, she was coughing softly while holding her chest. At this moment, the Zanpakutō in her hand had undergone a drastic change.

The originally straight blade turned into a crescent shape, flashing with a cold light.

The handle of the knife is wrapped with a chain ornament carefully woven from star sand, emitting a mysterious and charming glow.

The strangest thing didn't end there. When Bayunzhai turned her gaze towards Yuanliuzhai, she was shocked to find that she could clearly see the blazing sun fire in Yuanliuzhai's body!

At this moment, Emperor Ziwei waved his sleeves, and a vast and boundless star map slowly unfolded before their eyes.

"You've arrived just in time. This Star Lord Wangshu is the ancient Moon God of the Primordial Desolation. Together with Donghuang Taiyi, he is known as the Sun and Moon Dual Lords. Back when the earth-shattering war between the witches and the liches broke out, Taiyi fought bloody battles with the Chaos Bell in hand, battling the Ancestral Witch. Meanwhile, Wangshu unleashed his peerless magical powers, using the power of the Moon to freeze the surging Weak Water of the Celestial River, triggered by the collapse of Mount Buzhou."

As the Emperor Ziwei finished speaking, shocking images began to slowly emerge on the star map.

I saw a beautiful goddess in silver-white clothes standing gracefully in front of the collapsed pillar of heaven. The moon in her hand burst out with thousands of cold rays of light, and instantly turned into a huge ice wall thousands of feet high, blocking the surging flood.

At the same time, above the distant Sun Star, the sound waves emitted by the Donghuang Bell roared like thunder, colliding fiercely with the giant battle axes wielded by the twelve ancestor witches, stirring up countless sparks and energy ripples.

Looking at the thrilling scenes before him, Bayunzhai couldn't help but mutter to himself, "No wonder Star Lord Wangshu asked me to find the Chaos Bell..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but stretch out her finger and gently touch the area where ice and fire intertwined in the star map, as if she wanted to personally feel the aftermath of that shocking battle.

She continued to whisper thoughtfully, "Then, when the full moon comes..."

"When the sun and the moon shine together, the gates of heaven can be opened."

Emperor Ziwei looked at the star map in front of him with a solemn expression. Suddenly, he waved his hands and a powerful force surged out. The starry sky that originally belonged to the Soul Society was instantly replaced by a vast and mysterious ancient starry sky.

When Yuan Liuzhai heard what Ziwei Emperor said, his heart was shocked. He saw the sun fire burning in his palm suddenly flickered, and as if it had life, it quickly condensed into the shape of a golden crow with wings spread out, ready to fly.

Yuan Liuzhai's eyes were burning as he said in a deep voice, "I once saw that door in the inheritance illusion, and the patterns on the door are still vivid in my mind." As he spoke, he waved his fingers in the air, using flames as ink to draw strange lines in the air.

Shockingly, these flame patterns completely overlapped with the Quincy pentagram on the Soul Society's world-crossing gate! In an instant, the temperature in the entire ice chamber plummeted, as if it had fallen into an extremely cold state.

The moon dial from Bayunzhai, which had been quietly placed aside, seemed to be inspired by something and automatically popped out of the scabbard, shining with a cold light, streaking across the wall like a meteor, accurately engraving the star map left by Wangshu.

As the last silver line was completed, the three people present all gasped at the same time - because they discovered that in the center of this star map, there was a striking Quincy cross emblem!

Upon seeing this, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in the eyes of the Emperor Ziwei. He stood up suddenly, and the dazzling star-feather robe on his body danced, bringing up a sharp gust of wind, sweeping away large pieces of ice crystals around him.

He then exclaimed, "So that's how it is! Now it seems that the Spirit King Adneis is definitely not a native creature of this world. He must have come from the other side of the star gate!"

As if to confirm this suspicion, the entire ice room suddenly shook. The Technology Development Bureau's alarm pierced through the thirty layers of barriers: "Warning! Extremely high concentrations of Quincy spiritual pressure detected below the Palace of Confession!"

Bayunzhai was surprised to find that the moonflower carved on the handle of the moon dial began to bloom slowly.

As time goes by, the delicate petals unfold one by one, gradually taking on a strange and charming posture.

When the last petal fully unfolded, a soft but firm voice rang in Bayunzhai's ears—it was Wangshu's final message:

"Remember, the moon waxes and wanes, and this is true for all things in the world. To truly harness the power of the moon, you must first learn to cut yourself when it reaches its peak and appears to be at its most perfect... Only in this way can you avoid being harmed by the powerful force and control it for your own benefit."
