Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Time continuously slipped away as if a great deal of it had passed, a very long time indeed.

Tang San was always in a rather peculiar state. When he emptied everything and only retained a sliver of his divine consciousness essence, his entire being was in a state bordering between existence and extinction.

After all, he was not God Rank, how could he possibly confront an Emperor-Level expert? No matter how rich his foundations and experienced he was from his previous life, it was impossible for him to stand against the emperors of this world without sufficient basics, the gap between them was simply too vast.

However, he would certainly not give up because of this. Even without the reminder from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, in reality, he had long been preparing for this moment.

For Pretty Girl, he gave up being low-key, accompanied her in the competition, and reached the end of it. During this process, Tang San had already foreseen that he and Pretty Girl might face danger after the competition. After all, the Peacock Demon Clan was no longer the same clan that once had the protection of the Great Peacock Demon.

As the saying goes, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Without sufficient protection, it was clear what they would face.

They could seek help from those favorable Emperor-Level experts, but by doing so, the Peacock Demon Clan would have to choose an affiliate, never able to return to their past status of standing on equal footing with them.

Whether it was the White Tiger Great Demon King or the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, seeking their protection would inevitably come with conditions. This was not what the Peacock Demon King wanted to see, nor was it what Pretty Girl wanted. Tang San was even less willing to let his beloved live at the mercy of others.

Thus, he had already begun preparing to leave for some time.

Why he did not let his companions leave with them, why he also separated from Big Cat, it was all for this final moment.

Tang San did not know which Emperor might pose a threat to them, even if it was the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, he would not be surprised. Hence, he had always envisioned his enemy to be an Emperor-Level expert.

In his previous life, when he was a First-Generation God King, his godhoods were the Sea God and Asura God, with the Asura Godship held by his wife on his behalf.

Both godhoods were of the God King tier and possessed their own Lifebound Divine Artifacts. After countless years of nurturing, they had both reached the super divine weapon level. The Asura God's Lifebound Divine Artifact was naturally the Asura God's Sword, which was what Tang San used to link to Pretty Girl and to decisively slice through Mengte Te.

So, what about himself? Tang San himself was a reincarnation of the God King, and the connection with his Lifebound Divine Artifact had never been interrupted. It was only because it was impossible to carry a super divine weapon during the process of reincarnation and rebirth that he had to come alone and leave the super divine weapon in another place.

As his divine consciousness gradually recovered, the connection with his super divine weapon naturally began to reestablish itself. Thus, if he could help Pretty Girl connect to the Asura God's Sword, how could he possibly fail to connect with his own super divine weapon? This was his real trump card, the true strength that could contend even in the presence of an Emperor.

The Sea God's Trident, also his golden trident!

Although what he could summon at the moment was still just a projection, the power brought forth by calling on the Sea God's Trident far outstripped that of the Asura God's Sword. After all, this was his most core Lifebound Divine Artifact, and if one were to measure by distance, the Sea God's Trident was indeed much closer to him.

In the competition, Tang San had never entertained the idea of using the Sea God's Trident. This card could not be revealed.

The acquisition of Purple Crystal Coins had enhanced his divine consciousness and also strengthened his connection with the Sea God's Trident.

Ultra-long-distance teleportation was the first step in their escape from the Ancestral Court, but Tang San had never imagined that by teleporting over such a distance they could completely evade pursuit.

If it were that simple, then the warning from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the Dominator of Fate, would not have been necessary.

Tang San was very clear in his mind that the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox wasn't just giving a reminder, but also exerting pressure on them. This Heavenly Fox might not target Pretty Girl and the Peacock Demon Clan, but it wouldn't let him off the hook if it couldn't see through him.

The calamity spoken of by it had to be a tremendous one.

Therefore, Tang San had already made preparations before setting off.

The simplest way to escape the control of the Dominator of Fate over destiny was to make his own destiny disappear entirely. As the saying goes, break and then establish, if my destiny no longer exists, will you still care about me?

So, Asura must die, only with Asura's death could the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox cease its lock on his fate.

What would be the best way to die? Tang San had his plan.

The appearance of the Sea God, still only an illusory figure, brought immense oppressive force to the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. If just an illusion of the Sea God could exert such immense pressure on this sixth-ranked great monster, then, what about the real body of the Sea God?

For the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, Tang San was but a medium, a messenger of the Sea God. A medium that wasn't at God Rank, it was natural that after unleashing such power, he would be reduced to ashes.

Asura truly perished, at least in that final moment. But while Asura perished, the real Tang San quietly disappeared between points in the time-space continuum. He would reappear when the next time-space mark arrived.

Everything had been planned. In that instant when Asura perished and Tang San vanished, his life indeed ceased to exist, leaving behind only a sliver of divine consciousness spirituality within the Purple Crystal Stone.

Without a living body, the time-space mark preserved him in another point in the time-space continuum, separating his divine consciousness. In other words, at that moment, with the power of the Sea God as his cover, ninety-nine percent of his divine consciousness was used to maintain the force of the Sea God, and the remaining one percent was sealed away within the Purple Crystal Stone, cut off from the body.

By such means, one truly died in this plane of existence. Even the forces of a blood oath would dissipate, and for a former God King, such restraints were indeed insignificant.

And when all was finished, and the body was returned to its original place by the time-space mark, the Purple Crystal Stone also appeared there by coincidence. The moment they touched, the divine consciousness returned to the body, and with the enormous energy of the Purple Crystal Stone nurturing that sliver of true spirit, he achieved rebirth from death, the rebirth of Tang San.

This might sound simple, but in reality, to deceive even Emperor-Level Experts, including a Dominator of Fate of such stature, one can imagine the difficulty. Without the experience of the First-Generation God King, precise control over his own divine consciousness and absolute confidence, no one would dare to do this.

In this process, even a tiny mistake could lead to the failure of the divine consciousness to return. In such a case, he would truly die. His divine consciousness might even be forever sealed within the Purple Crystal Stone, uncertain of when it could be revived.

Therefore, before doing all this, Tang San had activated his Field of Fortune and Misfortune to the extreme, greatly enhancing his luck. He had perfectly used the time-space marker to ensure the contact between his body and the Purple Crystal Stone.

As his eyes opened and he looked at the stars shining in the sky, it was once again nighttime.

Tang San himself did not know how many days had passed since this had happened.

All around was silent, even the sound of insects or birds was absent, obviously due to the intimidation from the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor before, indicating that not much time had passed.

His body was weak and limp; although his divine consciousness had returned and, with the help of the Purple Crystal Stone, had mostly recovered, he still needed continuous adjustment. Fortunately, the Purple Crystal Stone truly provided a powerful nurturing for divine consciousness; otherwise, he would have had to rely on the time-space marker, wondering how long it would take his divine consciousness to completely recover to its previous state.
