Death: Captain Millennium

Chapter 114 Seeking the truth?

The timeline developed according to the original trajectory. In less than two years, Shiba Isshin and Kurosaki Masaki went from being in love to getting married.

On the wedding day, Urahara Kisuke, Hirako Mako and others came to watch the ceremony, while Lin Yu took Bayunsai and others to witness this wonderful moment from a distance.

It's worth noting that Shiba Isshin, for some unknown reason, abandoned his family name and changed his name to Kurosaki Isshin. If Kūkaku and Ganju learned of this, would they rush from Soul Society to chop down their uncle? After all, for the nobility, a surname represents family honor and heritage, something not to be easily abandoned.

After the wedding, Lin Yu took Bayunzhai and others on a travel journey that should have been on the agenda long ago.

You have to know that in the original work, all the stories take place in the real world, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo, but the real world is very limited, covering only two cities, Karakura Town and Naruki City. Lin Yu wants to explore more unknown areas to see if he can find some unexpected surprises, and he is also very eager to find out why he has traveled to this world.

He also longed to understand why he had been able to inherit the power of the projection of the Purple Star Emperor. Although he had asked Ziwei before, he never received a clear answer. The other party always told him that he would understand the reason one day.

In this world, there was also a powerful nation in the East. However, it was not the country he was familiar with, but a vast entity called the Huaxia Empire. Although the system and history were different from his original world, other aspects were almost identical.

Lin Yu was surprised to discover that the people of this world also believed in numerous gods and Buddhas, and those familiar myths and legends were well-known to every household. However, he was also surprised that this country did not have an organization similar to the God of Death. Filled with doubts and curiosity, Lin Yu led the people of Bayunzhai to set foot on this land, traveling across famous mountains and rivers, but still unable to find any clues about the monks. It seemed that all this was just a legend passed down by word of mouth.

Finally, they arrived at their final stop in China—the renowned Fengdu Mountain. In Lin Yu's original world, Fengdu was the mortal realm of the Fengdu Emperor, rumored to be the incarnation of the Ziwei Emperor. Therefore, he harbored a glimmer of hope, hoping to uncover some clues there. Perhaps this mysterious place held the key to the mystery? Or perhaps it was simply an ordinary place, no different from any other famous mountain? Regardless, Lin Yu decided to explore it himself and unravel the mystery.

At the foot of the famous Fengdu Mountain, there was an endless stream of tourists, and among the crowd, four people stood out. They were Lin Yu and his companions, Bayunzhai, Saito, and Hiyori.

The reason why their group attracted everyone's attention was simply because an ordinary-looking man was accompanied by three outstanding beauties. Such a combination inevitably aroused curiosity, and many people cast curious glances at them.

"Lin Yu, if you hadn't taken us out to travel, we wouldn't have known there were so many interesting places in the world. This place, in particular, makes us, as the gods of death, feel incredibly comfortable. It gives us a homely feeling, as if we belong here."

Since arriving at Fengdu Mingshan, Saito has developed an indescribable feeling for the place. She couldn't help but sigh, "Perhaps it's because we have a special connection with this land! After all, we are all Soul Society Shinigami, and there's a mysterious connection between Soul Society and the real world."

This place is also known as the Ghost Town, and various legends about the afterlife are circulated. This connection makes Lin Yu and his companions feel a unique sense of intimacy in the living world, as if they are a part of this place.

Lin Yu smiled slightly after hearing Saito's words, and thought to himself, "Perhaps this feeling of familiarity is not accidental. Perhaps long ago, there was a closer connection between the gods of death and the living world, but as time passed, this connection was gradually forgotten. Now, when we set foot on this land again, those memories hidden deep in our hearts are beginning to awaken again."

He turned to look at the beautiful scenery around him, and a faint feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. He realized that this trip to the famous Fengdu Mountain might give him the answer he wanted.

In the end, Lin Yu was disappointed. Apart from some Taoist temples and monasteries, he did not find anything different here. The so-called sense of familiarity might have come from the legends of ghosts.

Before leaving the Huaxia Empire, Bayunzhai summarized the differences of this empire: "Lin Yu, this empire is very unique. In their legends, after death, people will step into the gates of hell and then go to the underworld to be reincarnated. This is completely different from the corpse soul society we know. "

Lin Yu listened to Bayunzhai's words, and doubts surged in his heart. He originally thought that he had enough understanding of this world, but now it seems that there are still many unknowns waiting for him to explore.

"Yes, these legends are really interesting. Perhaps in this empire, people have a unique understanding and belief in life and death." Lin Yu responded.

Bayunzhai nodded and continued, "Furthermore, they believe in the existence of various monsters, each with its own unique abilities and forms. In comparison, although our Hollows have some similarities, they still feel quite different."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and continued, "Perhaps it is precisely because of this cultural difference that I feel an inexplicable intimacy here. But then again, isn't the purpose of our coming here to explore this world?"

Lin Yu and his team decided to explore the West. This region, with its distinct cultural and historical background from the East, is home to a variety of myths. In this world, people generally believe that after death, the good ascend to heaven, while the bad are condemned to hell. However, these are all just legends.

After a period of travel, Lin Yu's doubts grew even heavier. This world was clearly filled with so many myths and legends, but apart from the God of Death, he had never discovered any so-called gods. Could it be that the God of Death was the only one in this world?

Despite this, Lin Yu persevered in exploring the mysteries of this world. Eventually, he discovered an unusual phenomenon: after death, the souls of those in these places did not travel to Soul Society as expected, but instead suddenly vanished without a trace. This astonishing discovery plunged Lin Yu into deep thought, and he began to ponder the secrets that might lie within. What was the truth?
