NOVEL WEB Chapter 1149: Mmm mmm mmm...
Tang San once told her that after successfully crossing the tribulation, she might recall memories of her past life, overlapping the memories of both lives and remembering everything that had happened before.
She used to feel a bit apprehensive about those past memories, but now she was eager, almost impatient, to recall everything from before, to remember how he used to love her in their previous life.
She had asked him what was different about her in this life compared to her past life, but he always smiled silently and didn't answer her. He only told her that when she remembered, she should compare it herself.
Tang San came to her side and pulled her into his arms. "Little Beauty, do you know something? I'm starting to regret it a bit."
Pretty Girl froze. "Regret what?"
Tang San chuckled lightly and said, "Regretting getting married to you first before crossing the tribulation. Truth be told, I don't want to cross the tribulation at all now, you know?" As he spoke, he lowered his head and gently kissed her cheek.
Pretty Girl's delicate face instantly flushed red. "Your mind is filled with nothing but mischief."
Tang San laughed. "Why would that be mischief? Don't you seem quite happy?"
"Shut up, you... you…"
Moments passed...
"I meant what I said earlier. Honestly, I feel like I want to delay things for a bit longer. From the day we married till now, I've felt so genuinely happy. So very happy." Tang San whispered softly in her ear.
Pretty Girl felt the warmth of his breath brushing against her ear and shrank her neck slightly. "Happier than in our past life?"
Tang San replied, "I guess it's a different kind of happiness. In the past life, I was even busier than I am now, with many companions too, carrying heavier responsibilities. In this life, my real responsibility is just you. I'm here for you, living for you. Later in my past life, I became the Sea God, entered the Divine Realm, and then became the Godking, ruling the Divine Realm, almost busy every single day. The times when I could truly spend quiet moments with you were actually very few. These past few months, it's only been us in this Blue Gold Palace, sharing dawn and dusk together, seeing your silhouette every moment in this world that's just ours. It feels like all the fatigue from living in this world for twenty years has vanished. My heart rarely feels so at peace, so surrounded by happiness. I just want to stay with you like this forever."
Pretty Girl lifted her hand and gently caressed his cheek, her voice soft. "If you want to delay crossing the tribulation, then let's delay it. You're too tired. I can't remember what you went through in your past life yet, but in this life, you've already done so much, so very much for me, while I've done nothing for you."
Tang San held her hand tightly. "You're here with me. What else do you need to do? What could be more perfect than this? For me, there's nothing. Little Beauty, I'm truly grateful, grateful that you've stayed with me like this. I love you so much."
"I love you too." Pretty Girl buried her cheek deeply into his chest. Over these recent days, hadn't she also been surrounded by and filled with happiness?
"Though, we still need to begin preparing for our closed-door cultivation. I can already feel the Asura God's Sword and the Sea God's Trident drawing nearer to us. Once they arrive and sense our existence, they will undoubtedly stop at nothing to merge with us. Before that happens, we have to carefully prepare ourselves to receive them. Otherwise, this plane will face severe problems."
"Got it. No matter what you decide, I'm with you all the way." Pretty Girl nodded lightly.
Tang San's lips curved into a slight smile. "Still, before that happens, I think delaying by a day or half a day wouldn't hurt."
"Mmm…"
The completion of the Tower of Life wasn't just of great impact in the Ancestral Court; it also profoundly influenced all the major cities in Demon Monster Land. As a result, the already completed Towers of Life became increasingly valued, with each major city doing whatever it could to allocate additional resources for support.
With the Tower of Life established in the main cities, under the direction of the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders, the life energy in these cities clearly increased. However, the Towers of Life in these cities couldn't yet produce enough life energy to cover the entire city. Consequently, the closer one was to the Tower of Life, the denser the life energy, sparking numerous property disputes. The leaders of the major cities were forced to intervene and impose controls.
After the Ancestral Court vetoed the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's continued investigation into humans—especially the inquiry into Pretty Girl—things returned to peace.
The Emperors remained within the Ancestral Court Council, silently channeling the pure life energy from the Tower of Life to absorb and cultivate, aiming to enhance their own life force, improve their physical health, and extend their longevity.
Amidst this tranquility, Tang San and Pretty Girl began their formal closed-door cultivation.
For them, the most critical aspect of this cultivation was harmonization—harmonization of the abilities they already possessed, to seek the rules they wished to touch upon, and during Emperor Tribulation, to face and accept the tests of these rules and those of the plane.
Pretty Girl had actually chosen her rules long ago, back when she ascended as Demon King. She anchored the Asura God's Sword in her sea of divine consciousness. The Asura God's Sword, as the Sword of Judgment and the Sword of Justice, represented precisely the rules she aimed to touch: judgment—judgment of all evil in the world, protecting all that needed protection. For the plane, that naturally meant she would protect it.
Thus, after entering seclusion, Pretty Girl focused entirely on nurturing the sword beam of the Asura God's Sword with her divine consciousness. All three of her bloodline brands were devoted to this goal, centered around the Asura God's Sword, with mutual effort of nurturing and being nurtured. Under the backing of immortal aura, she swiftly entered a very steady meditative state.
Compared to Pretty Girl, Tang San's closed-door cultivation was far more complex. His bloodline brands were numerous and included several super bloodlines. All these bloodline brands needed to be integrated. On Falan Planet, the emergence of super bloodlines was strictly prohibited because super bloodlines inherently touched upon the laws of existence. Even Emperors didn't possess the power of super bloodlines.
Tang San had managed to conceal his existence from the plane master, allowing him to house multiple super bloodlines. This, of course, considerably enhanced his personal power. However, during Emperor Tribulation, these super bloodlines would pose tremendous risks.
During the tribulation, everything he had would be exposed to the plane's scrutiny. At that moment, all his abilities would become impossible to hide. When the Heavenly Tribulation struck, he would have to face the plane's immense pressure with all his strength. Thus, his tribulation would undoubtedly be more challenging than anyone could imagine.
However, Tang San had an option to make crossing the tribulation much easier: waiting for the Sea God's Trident to arrive. With the unmatched power of the super divine weapon, the plane itself—even as powerful as it was—could not block the descent of the Sea God's Trident. Using the Sea God's Trident to suppress all bloodlines and the Emperor Tribulation, restoring his cultivation base state, was indeed achievable. But doing so would inevitably unleash a catastrophic disaster upon Falan Planet.
One super divine weapon, or perhaps even combined with Pretty Girl's Asura God's Sword—making it two super divine weapons—forcibly breaking through the plane's barriers would trigger a calamity of unprecedented terror. At that point, not only would Demon Monster Land suffer, but the entire Falan Planet would be engulfed in devastation.
This was absolutely something Tang San didn't wish to see. Aside from the law of the universe potentially bringing misfortune upon them, the suffering of countless beings was incompatible with Tang San's principles as a person and something he could never allow.
