The gloomy sky and the endless pale sand dunes. Ye Chuan looked up and saw nothing but desolation.
After wandering in this barren land for a long time, he never saw another living creature, as if this sea of white sand was his final destination!
"Is this... the world after death?"
Ye Chuan's memory was frozen in the cramped hospital ward. On the heavily dusty ceiling, he swallowed the last breath of sad air in the world and died helplessly.
He was originally a test-taker in a small town. After more than ten years of hard study, he finally achieved his dream of success, broke away from his poverty, graduated from a prestigious university, and successfully got a job in a large company.
After years of hard work, he finally achieved a class leap and bought a car and a house in a first-tier city. In a short time, Ye Chuan became a celebrity in his hometown and became the child of other people's families in the eyes of countless parents.
Just when he had basically achieved financial freedom and was about to enjoy life, a medical record of advanced gastric cancer once again shattered the happiness he had worked so hard for.
Since Ye Chuan's disease was discovered very late, after he finished his first chemotherapy, Ye Chuan's parents sold all of his RVs in the big city and took him to a small hospital in the county town of his hometown, under the pretext of conservative treatment.
After being transferred to another hospital, Ye Chuan's condition took a turn for the worse and he passed away in just two months.
"The past is gone!"
All the memories of Ye Chuan's past life flashed through his mind, but he finally discarded them one by one.
...
Standing in this sea of white sand, Ye Chuan subconsciously moved his body, only to find that there was a rustling sound coming from the sand behind him. A huge body covered with white bones kept wriggling under the sand, revealing its broad body and limbs that were like sharp blades.
"Ah, what kind of monster is this??!"
"Oh, this is my own body!"
"That's fine..."
"I turned into a monster with a human upper body and a centipede lower body..."
Perhaps it was because he hadn't talked to anyone for too long, Ye Chuan kept muttering to himself for a long time before he came to his senses and took a closer look at himself.
Since there were no mirrors, water sources or other refracting targets around him, he could only observe with his eyes and found that he had turned into a giant monster with a human upper body and a centipede lower body. The whole body was about four or five meters long and looked very strong.
The two large human-shaped palms were also covered with a white bone layer and looked full of strength. Ye Chuan had no doubt that he could easily crush an adult's head with one hand.
Moreover, he actually saw a round hole at the junction of his upper body in human form and his lower body in centipede form.
"This is... this weird posture of mine, and this terrible desert, could this be Hueco Mundo... and I have become a Hollow?"
When Ye Chuan saw the surrounding environment at first, he was still not sure. But now, combined with the hole on his body, he was roughly sure that he was in the Hueco Mundo, and he had actually become a Hollow!
Ye Chuan quickly stretched out his pale big hand and touched his face. The hard touch was indeed like a mask with strange patterns covering his face.
"So, I traveled to the world of the God of Death?"
In his previous life, Ye Chuan was also a senior fan of the anime Bleach. He never expected that after his death he could travel to the Hueco Mundo and become a Hollow.

Seeing himself transformed into a hideous monster, Ye Chuan did not feel any fear or discomfort but instead felt a bit happy.
"Come on, this is super cool!"
But think about it, Hollows are a high-risk species in the world of death gods. If they are killed by the group of death gods in Soul Society, if they were innocent in their lifetime, at least they can be reincarnated into Soul Society. If they are judged to be guilty in their lifetime, they will go directly to hell.
If I were discovered and killed by the Quincy, it would be even more tragic. I wouldn't even have a chance to be reborn, I would just turn into ashes.
And during the period when Aizen ruled the Hueco Mundo, he conducted a series of Arrancar experiments on Hollows, and it is unknown how many Hollows were killed.
"Oh, it's so painful! I just don't know what the exact timeline is now. If it's before the plot develops, there's still time to develop. If it's during the plot, or after the plot develops, it will be a disaster!"
"Roar!!!"
Just when Ye Chuan was daydreaming, a low roar suddenly came from behind him.
A green lizard over two meters long with dark yellow mucus flowing from its mouth rushed towards Ye Chuan.
"boom!!!"
Ye Chuan instantly pulled out the centipede's tail that was buried deep under the sand, and slammed it heavily at the lizard, directly knocking its entire body into the sand.
Then Ye Chuan turned around and threw a set of turtle punches at the lizard who was just about to get up.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Wow…"
Under Ye Chuan's unexplained combo, the Lizard Xu trapped deep in the sand dunes became extremely miserable. The dark white mask on its face broke into three pieces, and the sharp claws on its limbs were all hammered off. It lay in the sand, whimpering, as if begging for mercy.
Dark green blood splattered all over the surrounding sand and Ye Chuan's body, but Ye Chuan's punches did not stop until the lizard Xu was hammered beyond recognition and completely silent!
"call!"
Looking at the lizard that was dead in the sand pit, Ye Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although killing this lizard that was much smaller than him was not difficult for Ye Chuan at this time, it was still a big challenge for Ye Chuan, who had always been a good young man in the 21st century. After all, he had lived for 30 years in his previous life but had never killed a chicken.
After a while, Ye Chuan calmed himself down. Now that he knew that he had been reincarnated into the world of the God of Death and turned into a Hollow, he had to complete the change of mentality in the shortest possible time and use every opportunity to become stronger to grow quickly. After all, this world was truly full of dangers.
When the current timeline is still unclear, the truth is to seize the time to become stronger. Although this world is dangerous, it also comes with opportunities, an opportunity that can allow him to gain extraordinary powers and transcend everything!
Immediately, Ye Chuan stared at the corpse of the lizard Xu, which was almost hammered into a pulp by him. He clearly remembered that in the original book, Xu could evolve by devouring each other, and the best among them could even transform into the legendary most powerful Xuwastode.
So, he didn't care about the nausea and directly picked up a piece of lizard forelimb mixed with dark green blood, put it into his big mouth under the dark white mask and started chewing it!
"Crunch, crunch!"
Ye Chuan chewed up the lizard Xu's forelimbs clean in just a few bites. He did not feel nauseous as expected. Instead, it tasted unusually good. It was not known whether the lizard Xu was naturally delicious or whether Ye Chuan's appetite had been completely distorted after his reincarnation as Xu.
After swallowing all of the lizard's front limbs, Ye Chuan felt that his own spiritual power had increased slightly. Then, with excitement in his eyes, he looked at the remaining pieces of meat in the sand pit and began to devour them.
"Crunch, crunch!"
In the silent sea of sand, there was a constant sound of teeth-grinding chewing.
Soon, all the lizards over two meters long were devoured by Ye Chuan. However, Ye Chuan did not feel full at all, as if he could devour another hundred lizards.
After completely digesting the Lizard Hollow, Ye Chuan felt that his overall spiritual pressure had increased by one twentieth.
And Ye Chuan found that his body seemed to have grown a little bigger.
During the process of swallowing, Ye Chuan discovered that the spiritual power provided by Lizard Xu's entire body only accounted for less than 40% of the increased spiritual power, while more than 60% of the spiritual power came from the broken masks.
"The taste is very strange, a bit like compressed biscuits."
Feeling the significant increase in the spiritual pressure in his body, Ye Chuan had a satisfied smile on his pale face.
...
In the days that followed, Ye Chuan wandered in the sea of sand as he did before, constantly searching for other Voids. After half a month of unremitting exploration and in-depth research, Ye Chuan finally encountered more Voids.
However, all the Voids that Ye Chuan met were just like the lizard Void he had met before. They had no intelligence and only knew how to fight savagely. Obviously, people like Ye Chuan who possessed human thinking were obviously an outlier.
On this day, Ye Chuan hid his entire body under the sand, leaving only half of his head floating on the surface of the sand and continuing to sneak.
"roar!"
Along with a shrill roar, a black and red beam of light carrying a terrifying high temperature shot from a distance, passed by Ye Chuan who was hiding under the sand, and shot towards an earthworm in front of him that was more than 40 meters long.
Under the blast of the black and red light beam, the earthworm screamed and was cut in half. The aftermath of the black and red light beam hit the sand, raising a large cloud of dust, and frightened Ye Chuan who was hiding in the sand and trembled.
"This is... a flash!"
Although Ye Chuan had seen this essential move of the Great Hollow countless times in the original anime in his previous life, it was far less shocking than watching it live this time.
Ye Chuan looked towards the source of the flash and saw a giant creature that was completely black and nearly 100 meters tall. There was a circle of dark white bone spurs on its neck, and a white bone spike was hooked on the pure white mask on its face. The whole body exuded a terrifying spiritual pressure!
"This is Killian!"
"No, this is not your average Killian!!"
This was not the first time Ye Chuan had seen Killian during his half month of exploration. He still remembered that three days ago he saw from afar a group of Killian heading towards a place called the Great Void Forest deep in the desert.
The Killian in front of him was much taller than the group of Killians Ye Chuan had seen before, and his mask style was fundamentally different from that of the other Killians.
"Xenomorph Killian!"
Ye Chuan, who was under the sand, took a deep breath and immediately realized that the Killian in front of him was an intelligent alien species.
Ye Chuan clearly remembered that in the original work, Killian was formed by more than a hundred extremely hungry Hollows devouring each other and then merging with each other.

During this initial evolution process, since the intelligence of the Hollows is generally low, or even non-existent, most of the Killians will completely lose their individual consciousness after being promoted to Killians.
But this is not absolute. There are a very small number of Hollows that still retain their intelligence after being promoted to Killian, and know how to devour other Hollows to continue to become stronger. This kind of Hollow is a different kind of Killian. As long as this kind of Hollow does not die, there is still some hope for them to become a mid-level Hollow Achukas, let alone the highest level Vastod.
At this moment, Ye Chuan, who was lurking under the sand, felt his heart in his throat. Although his body was not as strong as that of the giant earthworm, it could be regarded as a small dessert for the alien Killian.
At this moment, something strange happened. The upper body of the giant earthworm that was pierced by the flash and split in two and lying on the ground suddenly dived under the sand layer and ran desperately in the direction where Ye Chuan was.
"Fuck, don't come over here!"
Seeing that the giant earthworm with only half of its body left was actually running towards him, Ye Chuan suddenly felt a headache. If he attracted the alien Killian, he would have to play with it.
When the alien Killian saw the giant earthworm Xu's actions, there was a hint of mockery on his deep white masked face, and his huge pupils revealed contempt for his prey.
"call out!"
It happened in a flash. The alien Killian dodged and his huge body instantly appeared on the path that the giant earthworm must pass. Then his huge right hand covered with sharp bone spurs grabbed down and lifted up half of the panicked earthworm.
Ringing Spin! This alien Killian actually used Ringing Spin! According to the normal process, Ringing Spin can only be used after becoming an intermediate Great Hollow Achukas or an Arrancar, but this alien Killian actually mastered it in advance!
Seeing this scene, Ye Chuan, who was hiding not far away, was frightened out of his wits.
"Am I going to die before I can accomplish my mission after such a great effort?" Thinking of this, Ye Chuan couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness deep in his heart.
The alien Killian held the earthworm in one hand, opened his bloody mouth, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it non-stop like chewing spicy strips.
He ate the giant earthworm clean in just a few bites and left without looking back.
"That was close. I was almost exposed!"
Just when Ye Chuan, who was hiding under the sand, was thankful that the alien Killian had not discovered him, the Killian, which had already walked away, suddenly turned back and looked at the sand layer where Ye Chuan was hiding, revealing a hint of mockery under the huge mask on his face.
Then turned and left!
"It... discovered me, but thought I was too weak, so it didn't bother to devour me?"
After understanding the look in the eyes of the alien Killian, Ye Chuan felt a sense of humiliation, but at the same time he also felt somewhat fortunate.
"Okay, okay! You're just kidding, right? When I get promoted to Achucas or Vastod someday, I'll definitely let you experience how I feel today!"
Looking at the direction where the alien Killian left, Ye Chuan could only whisper in his heart.
He then waited for several hours to confirm that the alien Killian had really gone far away, and then he slowly crawled out of the sand. Looking at the remains of the giant earthworm that was killed by the alien Killian, with only the lower half of its body left, he smiled.
Although the upper body with the highest spiritual power content and the mask had been eaten clean by the alien Gillian, the remaining half of the lower body, although it was just leftovers that the big hollow looked down upon, was a great tonic for Ye Chuan at this time!
"Thank you for the gift, Brother Killian!"
Ye Chuan has decided at this time that he would be gentler when beating up the alien Killian next time.
