Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"We've been through so much together, you know? My thoughts have changed now. I can't wait to learn all the details of our past lives. For you to sacrifice everything and reincarnate just for me—how much must you have loved me then! And me, in my past life, how wonderful could I have been to deserve such love from you? Right now, I really want to know everything that happened in our past."

Looking at the anticipation in her eyes, Tang San smiled. "You will know, when you ascend to Emperor and trigger the power of the rules. The seal on your memories will break, and the mysteries of our past lives will completely dissipate. The memories of both lives will merge. By then, you will understand everything that once transpired between us. Compared to this life, our past life was equally thrilling."

"Mhm, I look forward to that day," Pretty Girl said softly.

Tang San smiled faintly and said, "But we can already foresee that day will not be an easy one for us. Because by then, we will also stand opposed to all the other Emperors."

"With you here, I fear nothing," Pretty Girl said tenderly.

Tang San smiled lightly. "With me by your side, no one will ever be able to hurt you. When our true power returns, you'll realize exactly how different we are from this world."

...

The news of Jin Miaolin, the Clan Leader of the Blue Golden Tree Tribe, officially getting engaged to Pretty Girl, the Chief of the Peacock Demon Clan, spread across the entire continent almost immediately.

The engagement of two Quasi Emperors, with plans for a grand wedding to be held at the Ancestral Court, was a major event for the court. After all, among the existing Emperors, while some relationships were close, none were intimate enough to form into a union of marriage.

Jin Miaolin represents the Spirit Monster race, while Pretty Girl embodies the Monsters. Their union signifies a political alliance of sorts for the two great empires. Furthermore, with Jin Miaolin holding the lofty position of Clan Leader for the neutral Blue Golden Tree Tribe, his status is exceedingly unique.

Both instances of Emperor executions involved Jin Miaolin. While the first relied heavily on the power of the Tree Ancestor, the second was achieved through the combined efforts of three Quasi Emperors. Regardless, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was by no means the weakest among the Emperors. The annihilation of such a figure speaks volumes about which forces the future of the world may belong to.

The Ancestral Court expedited the construction of the Blue Gold Palace, swiftly raising the Blue Gold Holy Mountain. It served two purposes: one, to allow Jin Miaolin to move in early and begin gathering luck for the court, and the other, to prepare for the grand wedding.

The Ancestral Court assembled an abundant amount of resources for the three Quasi Emperors. At present, Xu Anyu was overwhelmed with managing the affairs of the Darkness Dragon Clan.

The Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor had officially taken control of Black Dragon City, renaming it Crystal Phoenix City. The court also permitted them to transfer most of the wealth and resources amassed by the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor to Crystal Phoenix City. After all, acquiring a main city ensures that resource accumulation won't be an issue in the future.

As a result, the Phoenix Demon Clan reached unprecedented levels of strength, now governing two main cities. Additionally, the proximity between the Undying Great Demon Emperor's Phoenix City and Crystal Phoenix City makes it conducive for mutual support. The Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor, who once ranked lowest, will undoubtedly experience growth and transformation as they leverage the power of a main city.

After completing their engagement, Tang San and Pretty Girl departed from Jiali City, heading toward the Ancestral Court. One reason was to claim the Emperor-level resources prepared for them by the court, while the other was to make arrangements for their wedding.

After the wedding, they planned to officially seclude themselves within the Ancestral Court until they achieved Emperor-level power.

What no one knew, however, was that across every corner of Demon Monster Land, humans in their enclaves were quietly preparing for an unprecedented operation.

Tang San and Pretty Girl kept a low profile upon arriving at the Ancestral Court, avoiding attracting too much attention. Their accompanying personnel would arrive later.

This involved a union of two great races and two Quasi Emperors, and even the preparations for the wedding alone required considerable time.

Upon arrival, they chose to stay at the White Tiger Grand Hotel. It remained the most comfortable place. Tang San would also need to devote significant time to the construction of the Blue Gold Palace, his imperial residence. The Tower of Life, located within the palace, was to be constructed under his meticulous care.

If not for the Tower of Life, as a Quasi Emperor, he would never be permitted to build his palace in the central region of the Ancestral Court.

Just as Pretty Girl and Xu Anyu weren't allowed to establish their own holy mountains within the court before truly ascending to Emperor. This only highlights how evident the court's favor toward Tang San truly was.

Races across the continent now understood that among the three Quasi Emperors, besides Xu Anyu and Pretty Girl, Jin Miaolin was one the court would unconditionally support in achieving Emperor-level status.

Of course, this sentiment grew even stronger after their success in eliminating the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor.

They headed to the top floor of the White Tiger Grand Hotel, a familiar place imbued with familiar sentiments. The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor was already there, awaiting their arrival.

Upon catching sight of his granddaughter, the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor's eyes lit up. Perhaps due to the nourishment of love, Pretty Girl looked more radiant and breathtaking than ever. Her brows seemed less furrowed, an indication of inner clarity—an invaluable trait in cultivation. Under such conditions, progress in cultivation becomes much smoother. Moreover, the sight of their tightly clasped hands left no doubt; they were deeply in love and had no need to hide their affection, given their status as an engaged couple.

"Looks like you finally won her over!" The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor chuckled.

Tang San smiled. "Your Highness, that's not quite accurate. I was chosen by Little Beauty during the martial tournament for marriage. It wasn't me who won her over; rather, it was she who secured me!"

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor chuckled. "That's true! Back then, you were so sought after—the girls practically swarmed around you, eager to marry you. And there was talk about the Four Eight-Tailed Heavenly Foxes vying to become co-wives…"

"Stop right there! Please don't say any more. Your granddaughter can be quite the jealous one, spare me!" Tang San quickly pleaded.

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor roared with laughter, while Pretty Girl twisted Tang San's waist, giving him an accusatory glare. Who was he calling a jealous person? Fine, yes—it's true!

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor addressed Tang San. "For the construction of the Blue Gold Palace, you'll need a fair amount of resources. If there's anything you require, let me know, and I'll do my best to assist. The funds for building the Tower of Life will come from the court. Don't hesitate to make bold demands; no one will criticize you. After all, the court depends heavily on you."

Tang San nodded. "The construction of the Tower of Life is a priority. Once it's built, Little Beauty and I will enter seclusion within it to prepare for the tribulation."

When the topic shifted to tribulation, the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor's smile faded, his tone becoming serious. "Crossing the tribulation to ascend to Emperor is the most critical step for any powerhouse. The Ancestral Court will fully support you, but your own diligence is equally essential. Carefully consolidate your strength and aim for a one-time success. You've mentioned before that your tribulation will be exceptionally challenging. Even if the Emperors are willing to assist you, success ultimately depends on you. Moreover, the nature and intensity of the tribulation will determine the extent of your power afterward."

Tang San nodded. "I already have some plans. Grandfather, if you're free in the near future, please spar with us more often. Only with you can we feel most assured."

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor laughed wryly. "You won't let this old man's bones rest, will you? Are you aiming to execute another Emperor?"
