Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

It had not been easy for them to reunite. Naturally, she was reluctant to part with him, but Tang San was at the Ancestral Court under the identity of Jin Miaolin, and danger could come at any time. Frequent teleportation would easily expose flaws.

"I'll arrange everything, don't worry." Tang San looked at her tenderly.

Following her rebirth to this world, bringing her back to reunite the family was the top priority. Now, they were getting closer and closer to that goal, with fewer forces able to stop them. What could be better than that?

This Emperor's Ascension battle had a significant impact on Tang San. The saint power and the power of life and destruction were actually within the realm of the Divine Realm. He was able to comprehend them because his strength was getting closer to returning, and the influences from his previous life were becoming significant. When he becomes an emperor, the abilities from his past life would fully return, and what he needed to do now was organize the gains in this world and prepare to connect with everything from his past life.

The battle for Emperor's Ascension was actually more complex for him than becoming an emperor. His seemingly coincidental victories each involved exhausting efforts. Not being able to truly use his abilities while having to defeat opponents was far from being as easy as it seemed on the surface.

However, when he later reaches for the empyrean realm, he will be able to unleash his power without any reservations.

The carriage arrived at the White Tiger Grand Hotel. Crowds filled both sides of the street, cheering enthusiastically.

The Emperor's Ascension battle ended, and the quasi-emperor rankings were finalized. Pretty Girl from the Peacock Demon Clan even married Jin Miaolin of the Blue Golden Tree Clan. This news would have a profound impact on the entire Ancestral Court and even the entire continent.

Tang San and Pretty Girl got out of the carriage in succession, greeted the surrounding crowd, and then entered the hotel. Tang San didn't follow Pretty Girl to the top floor. At this time, he still needed to maintain some distance from Pretty Girl to avoid arousing suspicion.

Tang San returned to his room, immediately focused, and released his divine consciousness, probing towards the far reaches of the Ancestral Court.

Previously, he wouldn't have done this. The Ancestral Court was filled with strong emperors with divine consciousness. Who would dare to easily use divine consciousness for remote probing with emperors present? If you disturbed an emperor, death wouldn't be far off.

But now, his status was different. As a quasi-emperor, he was allowed to fly within the Ancestral Court, and there were fewer concerns.

"Your Excellency, are you available now?" Soon, Tang San's divine consciousness found its target.

"Hmm." A displeased voice came from the other side.

"Then I'll pay you a visit now." Tang San immediately said.

"Hmm." Another indifferent hum.

Tang San changed his clothes, covered his face with a cloak, and quietly left the White Tiger Grand Hotel. Soon, he arrived at a palace.

The palace was empty. A figure stood there, facing away from the door, with hands behind its back.

"Your Excellency." Tang San bowed slightly in salute.

The Tianyang Spirit King turned around, his face still shrouded in a cloud, making it impossible to see clearly. His mood was clearly not good.

Tang San didn't say much, just waited quietly.

After a while, the Tianyang Spirit King sighed and said, "We cunning old folks were defeated by a young girl, which was beyond anyone's expectation. Even the Heavenly Fox miscalculated. I don't have much to say about that, but it did ruin our complete plan."

He didn't ask Tang San what he would have done if not for Pretty Girl's decision, because it no longer mattered.

In this short month of the Emperor's Ascension battle, the Clan Leader of the Blue Golden Tree Tribe in front of him had grown to the point where he was starting to treat him with a more equal attitude.

Tang San smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect it either. However, rest assured, Your Excellency, my previous promise still holds. As long as Jin Miaolin becomes an emperor, the first Blue Gold Fruit will be offered to you." Yes, it's Jin Miaolin becoming an emperor, and it has nothing to do with me, Tang San.

The Tianyang Spirit King waved his hand, "I still have some years to live, so there's no rush. My message through Chen Chou wasn't just to seek an alliance through marriage. It was also with genuine hope for such a scenario. In my view, if you can become the Lord of the Ancestral Court in the future, it would be a great thing both for the Ancestral Court and the entire Demon Monster Land's two races. Our world has rich enough resources to create us emperors. However, whether we want to go further or if the world wants to advance, it's not something pure luck can drive. Luck is only limited to our world's aura. What can truly evolve the world is more core power."

"You know the relationship between me and the Earth Yin Spirit King. We often discuss what kind of power is needed to lead the world's evolution. If my extreme yang and her extreme yin could genuinely integrate, some Dao Origin or higher-level power might emerge, surpassing the existing power. But this integration is extremely difficult. Your fusion of the power of life and destruction in this tournament gives me a glimmer of hope. It's a power not inferior to our yin-yang fusion and somewhat grasps the rules of the Dao. Next, you need to focus more on this, and if needed, at least the Rihchen Empire will fully support you. If you can master the power of life and destruction well, you are indeed the future Lord of the Ancestral Court. Your tribe's neutrality is a stroke of genius, which will reduce resistance from the Tianyu Empire in the future. But you must be careful, and do not make a misstep."

Listening to the Tianyang Spirit King's analysis, Tang San felt a slight tremor in his heart. Clearly, this being was indeed the most powerful emperor of today, with piercing insight.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Tang San replied.

The Tianyang Spirit King sighed, "Perhaps failing to secure the marriage is also a good thing. At that time, even when the Heavenly Fox proposed supporting you with four Eight-Tailed Sky Foxes, I couldn't object. If your marriage partner was Chen Chou, you'd have our label. Conversely, though the Heavenly Fox presides over the Tianyu Empire, due to its control over luck, it remains relatively neutral, more acceptable to all. Surely, he's more upset than I am, thinking it a sure thing, only to be disrupted by a young girl. That girl from Jiali City is no ordinary person. In the future, after you marry her, you must control her as much as possible. I believe with your skills, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Tang San touched his nose. He could manage others, but not his own wife. He just loved her too much.

"Your Excellency, I will do my best."

The Tianyang Spirit King said displeased, "What do you mean by 'do your best'? If a family is not managed, how can you manage the world? I don't believe you can't even handle this. Her divine tool is powerful, but don't you have your own means? We were all fooled by you; who would have thought you'd received the Crystal Great Demon Emperor's inheritance? This alone is enough to make your future position extraordinary."

"The Ancestral Court will formally confirm your tribe's neutral status next. If you need anything, tell me now."

Tang San immediately said, "The Ancestral Court will probably require me to remain there after achieving a neutral status, right?"

"Yes, of course. Before becoming an emperor, they won't let you leave easily. After becoming an emperor, you must hold the fort at the Ancestral Court. Haven't you heard the Heavenly Fox say? Our future vitality hinges on you."

Tang San nodded, "I'm fine with that. But I still hope the Ancestral Court can better ensure the safety of my clansmen traveling to various major cities. This is of utmost importance."
