Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Not only did he need to hold on, but he also had to do it gracefully. If this person were truly to become the Sea God, to ascend to the level of an Emperor, then he would become a distinguished minister from the dragon's ranks. The Sea Shark Clan had no shortage of enemies—what would there be to fear with such a figure to shield them in the future?

Tang San looked deep into its eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "You are the fastest, so naturally, you are the most suitable mount. Alright, I must return now. Notify all the clans to come here as soon as possible, even those from the Sea Clan living in remote areas, so we can cover as broad an area as possible with the array plate. Although this method of purifying the sea plague is a temporary solution and not a cure, at least it can greatly reduce the death toll among the Sea Clan."

Sea Shark King Louis nodded seriously and said, "I will follow your orders."

Only then did Tang San step into the teleportation array and returned to Golden Valley.

A flash of light, and Tang San stepped out of the teleportation array in Golden Valley. He had just emerged when he couldn't help showing a look of surprise, because Pretty Girl was already waiting there for him.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for ages," Pretty Girl said with a slight rebuke.

A chill ran through Tang San's heart, for what he felt from Pretty Girl's mood was not a coquettish tone but one filled with restlessness and anxiety.

"The sea plague appeared near Crescent Island. I went to help the Sea Clan clear it. What happened? Did something go wrong?" Tang San asked in a grave voice.

Pretty Girl's face tightened, her brows deeply furrowed as she said, "Indeed, something has happened. A messenger from the Ancestral Court has arrived. They have ordered me to report to the Ancestral Court ahead of schedule."

Upon hearing this, Tang San was immediately alarmed. Could it not wait? Was the Ancestral Court so impatient?

"How soon do they want you to go?" Tang San asked.

Pretty Girl said, "I made the excuse that Jiali City, having just completed the succession, is still unstable and I cannot leave just yet. The messenger from the Ancestral Court said they would give me a maximum of three more months. Within these three months, I must report to the Ancestral Court, or I will be seen as disrespectful and stripped of my position as City Lord."

Three months? Pretty Girl had succeeded to the throne for not even five months, plus three more months; that would be nearly eight months in total, which was four months earlier than the standard rule of one year.

Fortunately, Tang San had always included some leeway in his various plans, and the three-month buffer meant he would not be caught off guard. Tang San said, "Three months it is, then. You focus on cultivating to elevate your cultivation base as much as possible. I will also make preparations. Everything will proceed as we planned before; even though it's earlier than anticipated, the plan remains the same."

A hint of worry flickered in Pretty Girl's beautiful eyes. She opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she held back.

Tang San clearly understood the concerns in her heart and said softly, "Don't worry, everything will be alright; I'm here. After helping the Sea Clan clear the sea plague, I am even more confident. In half a month, I'll have a good talk with the Sea Clan. I suspect I'll be spending more time near Crescent Island lately. It's up to you to manage the construction of the ships and the relocation. Our relationship with the Sea Clan will continue to grow closer, which means our relocation plan should be ongoing, moving more of our people overseas, out of reach of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan."

"Alright," Pretty Girl nodded. Just seeing Tang San could settle her heart, especially when she looked into his gentle yet steadying gaze, she felt as if everything was under his control.

"I should get back now," Pretty Girl deeply felt the crunch for time, wishing she could split every second in half.

"Wait a moment," Tang San called out to her.

While Pretty Girl was somewhat surprised by what he might want to say, Tang San had already stepped forward, and coming up to her, he took her into his embrace.

"What are you doing?" Pretty Girl asked with a faint blush as she gently hit his shoulder.

"Charging up. My strength and confidence all come from you. Only when I'm filled with energy can I push forward without hesitation," Tang San said with a low laugh.

Pretty Girl was initially stunned, but soon the blush on her cheeks deepened. She did not struggle anymore but wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her cheek against his chest.

Wasn't it the same for her?

Only when she was with him did her heart feel truly at peace, and could she have a backbone. He was the source of her confidence and the most powerful pillar of support.

As she nestled in his embrace, the fatigue in her heart seemed to silently dissipate. The hearts of both drew closer in the quiet.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Tang San gently stroked her long hair, which carried a faint scent of serenity, bringing him an indescribable sense of peace. There were many arrangements to be made in the following three months. Pretty Girl's performance review wasn't just about whether she could truly inherit the position of Jiali City Lord, it was also key to whether they could truly contend with the Ancestral Court in the future. All of this would be settled in the upcoming performance review.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox controlled luck, and the reason for advancing Pretty Girl's performance review was likely that he had sensed a change in luck.

If Tang San dared not let Pretty Girl make use of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, for fear it would backfire on her life source, then she, who had completely won the recognition of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, could to some extent conceal their intentions from the heavens.

But Tang San would rather face greater danger himself than allow her fundamentals to be damaged. As a Godking, he cared most about their future and knew what would truly affect it.

After a long embrace, when Pretty Girl was about to leave, Tang San asked her to prepare a batch of materials for him. He would stay at Crescent Island for the next while to craft the Sea God Array Disc. In the territory of the Endless Blue Ocean, the divine consciousness he expended could quickly be replenished through the power of faith, making the crafting of the Array Disc faster and more effective.

Having confirmed the method of purifying the sea plague, Tang San naturally wanted to contribute to the Endless Blue Ocean as much as he could. It was a virtuous cycle; by protecting the Sea Clan, he would certainly receive their reciprocation, and the power of faith would naturally gather more easily. The Sea Clan's care for humans would become ever closer.

In the following week, strong warriors from the Sea Clan began to gather towards Crescent Island. The first to arrive was the present patriarch of the Sea Elephant Clan, who was also a warrior who had just entered the Great Demon King Level. The waters near Jiali were the Sea Elephant Clan's territory. Unlike the Sea Shark Clan, which roamed and slaughtered wherever they went, most of the powerful Sea Clans had their own fixed territory.

The patriarch of the Sea Elephant Clan recognized Tang San no less than the Sea Shark King; the Sea Elephant King could even be said to be immensely grateful, for the sea plague that Tang San had just cleansed was in the Sea Elephant Clan's territory! Had the sea plague spread, even if the Sea Elephant Clan could escape, they would lose their homeland.

Therefore, the Sea Elephant King immediately expressed his recognition of the Divine Master, acknowledging Tang San's position as the Sea God. Cleansing the sea plague was an extremely important matter for the entire Sea Clan.

Thereafter, many more Sea Clans began to arrive. These Sea Clans varied in strength, and Tang San noticed that although there were many powerful individuals within the Sea Clan, the number of top-tier warriors was relatively few.

In the past week, dozens of warriors of Demon King Level had come, but there was only one Great Demon King, the Sea Elephant King. Below the Demon Kings, there were many equivalent to level 9 in Demon Monster Land, numbering in the thousands.

Their arrival made Tang San first feel the power of faith he could absorb growing stronger, making the crafting of the Sea God Array Disc much easier. He was never lacking in the means to control divine consciousness; he simply dared not use it casually before, as the speed of converting Spiritual Power into divine consciousness was too slow.

But the power of faith was different; it was inherently oriented towards Godhood. Transforming it into his own divine consciousness was much easier, and as he was already the Sea God, absorption was even more straightforward.
