Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Pretty Girl stared wide-eyed at him, "Rebirth in a different world?"

Tang San nodded, "Yes, in the previous world, you were my wife. Later, it was my failure to protect you that led to your departure from me, reincarnating into this realm, becoming the current Pretty Girl. The previous me possessed tremendous strength, that even surpassed those of the emperors in this realm. To find you again, I gave up everything from the previous world and was reborn alongside you. The only difference between us is that your rebirth only retains the brand of life from the previous world, having forgotten all past events, while I have retained a bit of divine consciousness, bringing my memories to this Demon Monster Land. My sole purpose here is to find you, to protect you until the day we can regain the cultivation base of the past and return to our world."

Now that he had decided to lay his cards on the table, he had no intention of holding anything back, whether Pretty Girl believed him or not, he felt compelled to tell her. When he saw how much pain Pretty Girl was in because of Asura, he realized that in this life, she already had a place in her heart for him.

"I am very lucky, or it could be said that the heavens favored me, allowing me to find you. Do you still remember how I felt when I first saw you at the bubble tea shop? At that moment, I felt so incredibly happy, so blessed—I had finally found you. I practiced cultivation desperately, striving to improve my cultivation base, but the practice of cultivation here is different from our original world, and I had to start from scratch. It was only through this exploration that I could continually strengthen myself to protect you better."

"That's why, no matter whether as Tang San or Asura, I have always wished to be by your side. In this world, the only person I cherish is you. Whether it is to make a blood oath for you or to die for you, I am completely willing. I just want to protect you well."

Pretty Girl, who had only just managed to calm her emotions, felt them become chaotic again upon hearing his words.

What is all this about? Rebirth in a different world? How is this possible? In her understanding, she could not comprehend what Tang San was saying. Yet, his explanation made so much sense. It indeed explained why Asura was inexplicably good to her, always striving to be kind to her.

After saying all this, Tang San also took a deep breath; these were the words he'd always wanted to say to Pretty Girl but had never managed to utter before.

Now that he had truly spoken them, he felt a sense of relief. Although he knew it would be hard for Pretty Girl to believe, he didn't expect her to accept it outright. He only wanted her to acknowledge that Tang San and Asura were the same person, so she would no longer be sad.

"So, you, you are my husband from the previous world?" Pretty Girl murmured.

"Mm." Tang San nodded.

Pretty Girl took two steps back, "My heart is a bit messy, really a bit messy."

Tang San apologized, "I'm sorry, the reason I couldn't explain before was that it's too unbelievable. But, this is indeed the truth. Your rebirth in a different world is complete, belonging to this realm. My rebirth was forced, so after being reborn, my divine consciousness still retained the memories of my past, and that's why it's being rejected by this realm, making my breakthrough to godhood extremely difficult. You don't have to think too much right now, nor do you need to accept what I've said. You just need to know that whether as Tang San or Asura, I will always protect you. Right now, you need to adjust your emotions to face the breakthrough to godhood. When you do, I will be there to protect you, and I hope you choose to undergo it above the sea, where it's easiest for me to protect you."

"Why?" Pretty Girl looked at him.

"Because in the previous world, I was the Sea God!"

"Sea God?" Hearing these two words, Pretty Girl's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, "Sea God? You... When the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor came to Jiali City to confront my father, they were scared off by a phantom claiming to be the Sea God, that was..."

Tang San nodded, "That was also me. That time, I used up the little bit of divine consciousness I had finally recovered, it was really just enough to scare him. Just like this time, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was also frightened away by me, otherwise, why would he stop pursuing after killing me?"

Pretty Girl looked at him, her heart a tumult of emotions that had reached an unparalleled level of complexity.

She even felt somewhat uncertain about how to face him. At such a time, it seemed that anything she could say would be inappropriate.

"I need some quiet, is it okay if I take some time to think things over?" Pretty Girl murmured.

"Of course. But you must be careful to maintain the core of your spiritual power, and not let your emotions affect the concentration of your spiritual strength. Otherwise, if you suddenly begin the Tribulation, it would become rather troublesome." Tang San said softly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Mm." Pretty Girl nodded, then lifted her head to gaze deeply at him one more time, as a silver light rose at her feet. Continue reading on empire

With a flicker of light, Pretty Girl teleported away.

Watching the place she left, Tang San couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head. He really didn't know if telling her was the right or wrong decision, but the only certainty was that now she certainly wouldn't have time to dwell on sorrow, but rather be in complete disarray. Anyone who learned such news would unequivocally find their mind in turmoil.

The situation being what it was, he could only let her digest it on her own, while he himself could only quietly await the outcome of her deliberation. Regardless of the result, he would have to accept it and would always protect her. However, with such a complicated relationship now, if he wanted to win her heart back, it looked like he would have to start all over again.

A silver light also ascended from Tang San's feet as he too teleported into thin air, returning to Golden Valley.

His cultivation base had reached a stage where he couldn't advance any further, so all he could do was slowly refine his divine consciousness, increasing its quantity. The most important task was the crafting of the Time-space marker, using the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid to influence the Time-space marker, gradually enabling it to be used by him, until the Time-space marker became a divine tool, and possibly even a super divine weapon in the future.

It could be said that the Time-space marker was his greatest gain in strength since coming to this plane. However, precisely because it was so powerful, actually crafting it was all the more difficult. Moreover, after forming the Super Bloodline this time, even though he suppressed the Super Bloodline with the godhood of the Sea God and finally shaped it, similarly, he definitely had left a profound mark on this plane, which would make the difficulty of breaking through to God Level even greater in the future. He had no choice left; the only place that could truly lead him to break through to God Level was one.

Time passed day by day, and Jiali City remained peaceful, indistinguishable from usual. However, many of the great nobles knew that beneath this calm, an event of deep significance for Jiali City was about to take place. That was the change of its City Lord.

As a main city on the Demon Monster Land, each one held an extremely important existence, fundamental to both the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan.

The City Lords of the main cities are almost all hereditary from the strong races, but the precondition for heredity was having sufficient strength as a support. This tremendous strength specifically refers to Emperor.

The only main city without the support of an Emperor at present is Jiali City. This also explained why Jiali City had always been disfavored by the Ancestral Court. Without an Emperor, there is no foundation.

Pretty Girl finally found out that Tang San and Asura were the same person. Initially, my plan was to have Tang San return to Pretty Girl's side simply as Tang San and start over from there. However, I really couldn't bear the thought of it after a while; I felt it was too much of a torment, so I decided to let Tang San reveal his true identity to Pretty Girl and then accompany her through the Tribulation. I feel very good about this segment, and I hope everyone will also like it; there will be more and more exciting plots to come, so please continue reading.
