Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Since when did the Peacock Demon Clan possess such a foundation? It should be known that Mengte Te's cultivation was the result of the Dragon Clan pouring in vast amounts of effort and resources. How could the foundation of the Peacock Demon Clan ever compare to that of the Dragon Clan?

Both were aureolas of scarlet, yet one brimmed with hatred and negativity, while the other exuded grand majesty, its killing intent interwoven with an awe-inspiring righteousness that purged demonic auras and clarified the heavens and earth. This was certainly not something a common divine tool could achieve. Even the emperors in the private room were surprised.

After descending from the competition platform with Pretty Girl in his arms, Tang San's complexion finally regained a hint of color, looking down at the girl in his arms, she was merely overly exhausted in terms of Spiritual Power and bloodline power, and there was no great harm—rest would naturally bring recovery.

What was that red light? Perhaps within this entire plane, only he knew. That power had originally belonged to Pretty Girl, and thus, to him as well.

In Tang San's past life, as a First-Generation God King who once held the position of Sea God, he possessed the powerful divine weapon, the Sea God's Trident. Over the years of his nurturing, the Sea God's Trident evolved to become a super divine weapon. It was an extremely formidable entity.

Besides the Sea God's Trident, Tang San actually had another divine tool, which also relied on a powerful godhood for its existence. Before he became Godking while he was still the Sea God, the previous master of this godhood was already a Godking, and likely the strongest in individual combat power, known as the Asura God.

The Asura God possessed a godly sword that governed the laws of the Divine Realm, specially designed for the judgment over all matters in the Divine Realm. The mighty Asura God later intended to pass on both the divine tool and his godhood to Tang San, but since the Sea God beat him to it, Tang San lacked the capacity to hold both godhoods at once. Ultimately, Xiaowu took over the godhood of Asura God for Tang San, allowing him to borrow the power of the Asura God when necessary.

As his divine consciousness gradually recovered, Tang San's overall abilities were also progressively being restored. Just as he now could use the Heavenly Circle, he was already able to access some of his previous life's abilities.

In the previous fight alongside Pretty Girl, although she had lost all memories of her past life after reincarnation, the bond with the super divine weapon was still present, maintained through Tang San's communication. It was Tang San who subtly invoked the connection to her past life, thereby borrowing a trace of the Asura God's Sword's power to defeat Mengte Te.

Before Xiaowu's demise in his past life, Tang San tried everything to save his wife's life but was unsuccessful. Desperate, he used all his means to ensure her successful reincarnation and prevent her soul from dispersing. In the end, he left a trace of the Asura Blood Sword's sword beam within Xiaowu's true spirit.

The reincarnated Xiaowu, with her true spirit unable to contain a divine tool, could still harbor that trace of sword beam. It protected her true spirit, allowing her to be successfully reborn with outstanding talent, especially a natural ability to wield swords.

And now, in the backwash of this recent competition, under the formidable pressure of external forces, Tang San quietly invoked this trace of sword beam hidden deep within Pretty Girl's soul. This enabled her to initiate preliminary communication with the Asura God's Sword, borrowing a sliver of the Godly Sword's might from afar.

Though doing so would attract attention, the benefits were tremendous. First and foremost, it was defeating Mengte Te. No matter how strong the Blood Slaughter Demon Spear was, it was nothing before the Asura God's Sword, and the sword's power of righteous judgment was especially effective in restraining all sorts of Demon Weapons. Secondly, by invoking the sword beam, Pretty Girl's initial communication with the Asura God's Sword was established. The sword would then recognize her location, approaching from afar, and as the Asura God's Sword drew nearer, the sword beam would grow stronger, providing protection for Pretty Girl. Once the super divine weapon truly arrived at her side, even emperors would find it challenging to harm her.

While the divine tools of this plane were formidable, they still paled in comparison to true divine tools, let alone super divine weapons.

To complete this communication with the sword beam, Tang San expended a great deal of divine consciousness. He preferred to facilitate Pretty Girl's communication with the Asura God's Sword over summoning his own super divine weapon. In his heart, nothing was more important than protecting Pretty Girl.

In his previous life, he had failed to protect Xiaowu, leading to her ultimate demise. This life, his heart was different from before. In his previous life, he was burdened with too many responsibilities, including the protection of the Divine Realm and countless others. But in this life, when he was reborn and saw Pretty Girl at first glance, he decided to only protect her, solely her. Aside from her, nothing else was important.

Having completed the communication with the sword beam, it was all but certain that Pretty Girl would break through and ascend to godhood in the near future. The lightning tribulation aiming to harm her would have to ask for the consent of the Asura God's Sword's sword beam.

The Pretty Girl in her faint seemed only a bit pale, but otherwise, she looked very peaceful, and on seeing her delicate face, as if it could be shattered with a gentle touch, Tang San truly wanted to lower his head and give her a kiss. Of course, that was just a fleeting thought.

By the time he descended from the competition stage, the Peacock Demon King, with an odd expression on its face, was already waiting there.

As Tang San came down cradling the Pretty Girl, it quickly stepped forward and stuffed a pill into the Pretty Girl's mouth, which Tang San recognized as the same kind that had been given to him before.

Although this seemed rather extravagant for the Pretty Girl, who wasn't injured, Tang San had no intention of stopping it, for whatever treasures were used on his Pretty Girl, he felt were warranted.

The Peacock Demon King didn't take the Pretty Girl from Tang San's arms but instead swung its right hand, casting a silver light that enveloped both Tang San and the Pretty Girl, and in the blink of an eye, whisked them away from the place of dispute.

When they reappeared, they were in a strange place to Tang San, in a spacious room filled with a faint fragrance. The Peacock Demon King, without a word, pointed to a door at the side.

Understanding, Tang San carried the Pretty Girl into the room and carefully laid her down on the bed, then covered her with a blanket. He arranged her long hair to one side, making sure she was lying comfortably, before walking out of the room and gently closing the door.

The Peacock Demon King remained standing in the living room, calmly watching him complete all these tasks.

"You're very mysterious," said the Peacock Demon King, this man Tang San considered to be his future father-in-law, in four words.

Tang San looked at it with a calm gaze and said, "There's nothing mysterious about it. Everything I do is to protect her."

"I believe that you have a blood oath binding you. And everything you do for her, I can see. Although I don't know where this connection between you two comes from, I believe in you," the Peacock Demon King stated with conviction.

While saying this, it gestured towards a sofa, signaling Tang San to sit.

Without any hesitation, Tang San walked over and took a seat on the sofa.

The Peacock Demon King muttered, "Initially, I was only forty to fifty percent sure. But, after today's battle, and with what you've said, I should have over seventy percent certainty."

Tang San did not ask what it meant because he knew that if the Peacock Demon King had brought him here, it was prepared to tell him something.

The Peacock Demon King lifted its head, gazing intently at him, and said, "My life won't last much longer. The greatest regret of my life has been not achieving the rank of Emperor, inheriting the legacy of my ancestors, and leading the Peacock Demon Clan back to its peak. This wish may now only be realized through Little Beauty. With you by her side, I'm becoming more and more at ease. You may be mysterious, but you're a good man. Perhaps your guardianship of her stems from your Redemption Organization, but I can tell that you truly care about her as well. Otherwise, a blood oath would not have been easily sworn. Today I have brought you here because there are things I need to tell you that are very important for her future and concern the life and death of you both, and of course, whether the Peacock Demon Clan can regain its glory. If you truly like her, then stay by her side, help her diligently in controlling the Peacock Demon Clan, and truly become the lord of Jiali City, helping her rekindle the glory of the Peacock Demon Clan. This is beneficial for your Humans as well."
