Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San nodded, "I just met with Tianyang Spirit King, and he also mentioned the rules. Little Beauty's rules can follow the direction of the Godly Sword, as the Godly Sword is her core. As for my rules, I need to adjust myself further before making a decision. When the time comes, I'll undoubtedly need to trouble you, Grandfather."

The White Tiger Great Demon King froze for a moment, his eyes suddenly revealing a hint of wariness. "What do you need me for?"

Tang San smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, to spar more with you. Only under your pressure can I better integrate all my abilities."

The White Tiger Great Demon King's mouth twitched. "You wish. I'm not going to be your sparring partner."

The Peacock Princess was surprised to notice a subtle awkwardness in the White Tiger Great Demon King's expression when he spoke of sparring, alongside his reluctance. What was going on? Could it be that Tang San's strength had reached a level where he could contend with the White Tiger Great Demon King?

Tang San smiled and said, "This isn't just for myself; it's also for you. If you want to go further, you need to touch upon higher-level rules and find an evolutionary path on top of the rules you've already grasped."

The White Tiger Great Demon King's eyes flickered. "You have some ideas?"

Tang San nodded slightly. "A few. We can try when the time comes. You'll see."

"Fine. When the time comes, come find me."

Tang San nodded and turned to Pretty Girl. "You all should return to Jiali City as soon as possible. Once the neutrality of my clan is confirmed, I'll have my younger sister, Jin Miaosen, head to Jiali City. She's currently at the Demon King level, but she's a direct descendant of the Tree Ancestor, with an exceptionally pure bloodline. Once she ascends to the Great Demon King level, she'll bring tremendous benefits to Jiali City."

Pretty Girl said, "You take care of yourself."

Tang San said, "Don't worry. I didn't reveal any flaws during the Emperor Seizing Battle, and I certainly won't moving forward—especially with Grandfather backing me up."

The White Tiger Great Demon King nodded and said, "Your performance this time truly shocked the emperors. What impressed them the most was your Path of Life and Death. In this regard, you must be cautious. The Ferocious Dragon's destructive power is exceptional; make sure you aren't affected by it."

Tang San nodded. "I'll handle it carefully. I can't stay long; I need to head back immediately to convene the Blue Gold Tree Elder Assembly."

Pretty Girl pouted as soon as she heard he was leaving. Although she knew he had important matters to attend to, she still found it hard to part with him.

Walking up to her, Tang San took her hand and said, "Within three months, I'll come to formally propose marriage. Then we'll officially marry. After our wedding, we'll prepare to withstand tribulation together. At that time, we'll hold the wedding in the Ancestral Court, using the occasion to draw the attention of all the Emperors and major strong races. This will give us the opportunity to quietly transport our people and complete their migration."

Pretty Girl's gaze turned serious as well. The mass migration of humans was currently the most critical matter. With both of them having achieved the Quasi Emperor level, they were now capable of protecting humanity to some extent. The sudden mass disappearance of humans was bound to draw attention afterward. But by then, with Pretty Girl married to Quasi Emperor Jin Miaolin, even if the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox discovered that Jiali City was behind it, he would have to think twice before making things difficult for her.

And with Tang San fully prepared, he would never again give the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox the kind of opportunity he had before.

With the Emperor Seizing Battle concluded, participants in the competition and spectators from main cities afar gradually departed, and the bustling Ancestral Court began to return to normal order.

Pretty Girl and the Peacock Demon Clan left early the next morning, escorted to the Ancestral Court's exit by Tang San before he returned.

The Ancestral Court no longer obstructed the Blue Gold Tree Clan's announcement of neutrality, and the final confirmation was quickly completed.

Both the main cities of the Tianyu Empire and the Rihchen Empire planned to send representatives to the Blue Gold Tree Clan's territory in Jianmu City, extending sincere invitations to their Kings and above to take up residence.

Each main city had to send at least two Great Demon Kings to safeguard the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders on their journey to Jianmu City.

Each main city was also required to construct exclusive Towers of Life for Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders, enabling them to condense life force.

Each Elder could bring up to fifty Blue Gold Tree clansmen to collectively oversee a Tower of Life. These towers would hold an extraordinary status in the main cities, with even city lords forbidden from interfering. Only orders from the Ancestral Court would need to be followed.

The resources required for Towers of Life were to be provided and supported by their respective main cities. The arrangement was mutually beneficial, as the Towers of Life would accumulate life energy to bless and sustain the populace of the main cities.

The Blue Gold Tree Clan would henceforth maintain neutrality while retaining Jianmu City as their domain, continuing to nurture the Tree Ancestor.

Jin Miaolin, as the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, would personally station himself in the Ancestral Court. A Blue Gold Holy Mountain was to be constructed near Council Mountain for him, along with a central Tower of Life. The specifications would align with those befitting an Emperor Level figure, essentially implying that Jin Miaolin's ascension to Emperor status was a foregone conclusion. He would oversee the accumulation of life energy for the Ancestral Court.

Simultaneously, the Ancestral Court publicly announced that resource prioritization would favor Pretty Girl of the Peacock Demon Clan to help her achieve Emperor status quickly.

In reality, however, everyone understood that Jin Miaolin would receive the most substantial resource support. Once Jin Miaolin ascended to Emperor status, the benefits to the Ancestral Court and all the Emperors would be incomparable.

Upon days of deliberation, the design for the Blue Gold Palace was finalized. The Ancestral Court would construct the framework, providing all necessary resources, and leave the internal and core construction to the Blue Gold Tree Clan.

Several emperors proposed relocating the Tree Ancestor to the Ancestral Court, but this motion was ultimately vetoed.

The Tree Ancestor could not be moved, and the Blue Gold Tree Clan remained resolute on this point.

During this period, another major development occurred. After internal discussions in the Ancestral Court, it was decided that Light Dragon King Xu Anyu would assume the role of Crystal City Master. Considering Xu Anyu's exceptional performance in the Emperor Seizing Battle, his ascension to Emperor status was virtually certain. Should he ascend, he would become an extraordinarily powerful Emperor, potentially surpassing even the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor to become the strongest of the Dragon Clan.

With Ancestral Court matters settled, Tang San was preparing to return to Jianmu City with the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders and await the arrival of envoys from the major main cities. Just then, Xu Anyu emerged from seclusion and paid Tang San a visit at the White Tiger Grand Hotel.

When Tang San saw Xu Anyu again, he noticed a subtle change in his aura.

Likewise, upon seeing Tang San, Xu Anyu's eyes overflowed with warmth and camaraderie.

"Brother Jin! Haha! You've been the talk of the Ancestral Court lately!" Xu Anyu greeted Tang San with a hearty hug.

Tang San could only shake his head helplessly. "Brother Xu, are you avoiding choosing a wife because your preferences are... unconventional?"

Xu Anyu burst into laughter, "You're overthinking. There are countless female dragons in my clan lining up to marry me! With my exceptional bloodline, marrying ten female dragons wouldn't be an issue. So, I hear you're leaving soon?"

Tang San nodded. "Yes. We're heading back to the Blue Gold Tree Clan to await the envoys from the major main cities."

Xu Anyu said, "Forget the formalities. Leave an eleventh-ranked Elder for me. You don't need to wait for the envoys. Isn't all this just about ceremony? I'll accompany you to Jianmu City, grab an Elder right then, and bring them back myself. Does that work?"

Tang San couldn't help but laugh, half in frustration. This one was certainly straightforward. These days, the leaders of the major main cities had been revolving around the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders. Everyone understood that the life-energy-condensing abilities of Great Spirit King-level Elders were unmatched. Of the Blue Gold Tree Clan's Elders, there were only three at the Great Spirit King level, while there were over a dozen main cities. Those who could secure a Great Spirit King Elder would undoubtedly have the upper hand.
