Chapter 288: Chapter 145: Seireitei’s Grand Welcome, a Master-student Reunion Across a Century (Part 1)

Alex’s voice was calm yet carried a warmth that broke the silence of the plaza.

Ade forced back his sob. He was now the leader of the world; even if his heart was surging with emotion, he needed to maintain his composure.

He turned his head to look toward the back of the crowd and waved his hand.

"Koei, Reimi, come over and meet your grandmaster!"

The teenage boy and girl stepped out from the crowd, approaching Alex with a hint of unease.

The boy’s facial features were seventy percent similar to Ade’s. He also possessed the unique double pupils in his eyes, exuding a nascent yet powerful Quincy energy.

The girl was as beautiful as a flower with an otherworldly temperament. Her eyes revealed gentle Reishi fluctuations.

The two made brief eye contact with Alex before quickly lowering their heads and kneeling in unison.

"Greetings, Grandmaster!"

"Stand up, both of you. There is no need to adhere to worldly formalities."

Alex raised his hand. A gentle yet irresistible force lifted the two of them to their feet.

He pondered for a moment before extracting ten crystal-clear vials of potion from his spatial storage. He divided them into two sets and sent them floating slowly toward the boy and girl.

"This is our first meeting, and I don’t have much to offer. As long as a person still has a single breath left, these potions can pull them back from the brink of death."

Koei and Reimi’s eyes instantly widened, their faces full of disbelief. A potion capable of bringing the dying back to life was a legendary divine medicine!

Yet their grandmaster had given them ten vials just like that...

Staring at the potions floating before their eyes, the two didn’t dare to reach out and take them for a moment.

Ade smiled and shook his head.

"Since your grandmaster is giving them to you, just accept them."

Only then did the two react. After thanking him repeatedly, they carefully tucked the potions into their clothes, their eyes filled with immense reverence for the gift.

Alex looked at the two children, feeling a slight sense of melancholy.

Ade’s children had already grown up, and he could clearly sense the powerful Quincy energy within them.

However, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no records of the Soul King having children in future generations, which added a trace of doubt to his heart.

He looked at Ade and asked softly.

"Both children are excellent. Who is their mother?"

Ade’s eyes instantly dimmed, a flash of unconcealable grief crossing his face.

"Their mother’s name was Yumiko. She died in a Hollow attack. By the time I arrived, her soul had already been devoured by the Hollows; not even a fragment of her soul was left behind..."

Alex’s gaze flickered slightly. Even though Ade was the Child of Fate of this world, predetermined by the world’s consciousness to become the Soul King, he still could not bring back a completely dissipated soul.

He turned around, staring at the chaotic dome in the distance, his tone calm.

"The rest of you may disperse. Ade, come with me."

Before his voice completely faded, the figures of the two gradually thinned out, dissipating as if melting into the air.

In the next second, they appeared in the wilderness outside the Seireitei.

A large number of Hollows in various shapes and forms wandered here. Upon seeing Ade, not only did they not attack, but some of the conscious Hollows even knelt on one knee to salute before slowly retreating.

Alex looked at these Hollows with keen interest and asked,

"Did you transform all of these?"

"Not all of them."

Ade shook his head, a hint of contemplation in his tone.

"Ever since Chaost was purified, the newly born Hollows have taken on this appearance. I suppose it might be because the natural laws of this world have already formed. Hollows are no longer pure destroyers; they have developed their own consciousness and order."
