Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Go to the Ancestral Court?" Pretty Girl asked, "What for?"

Tang San replied, "To do some preparatory work for your performance review in advance. To successfully complete your performance review, you need to get the approval of at least half of the Great Demon Emperors. There are nine Great Demon Emperors in the Ancestral Court; disregarding those who are indecisive, we need the firm support of at least three to have a chance of success. This has little to do with your abilities."

Pretty Girl mused, "Which of the Great Demon Emperors are you planning to seek support from? Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor? White Tiger Great Demon King?"

Tang San nodded, "We definitely need to ask those two for their support first, and we will visit them. I'm considering the others."

Pretty Girl said, "Is there any hope with the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox? After all, our Peacock Demon Clan and the Heavenly Fox Clan were both in control of destiny and the future."

Tang San shook his head, "The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox won't do."

Pretty Girl was taken aback, "The relationship between the Heavenly Fox Tribe and the Peacock Demon Clan is still okay, and it seemed like they took care of us in the past."

After looking at her for a moment, Tang San hesitated before speaking, "Actually, from my personal standpoint, I'm not too keen on you getting involved with the darker aspects of this world. But now you are the leader of a clan, as well as the Main City Lord, so there are some things you'll have to be more aware of. Do you think when we left the Ancestral Court, the pursuit and attempted assassination by the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was just because we maimed Mengte Te?"

Pretty Girl's beautiful eyes narrowed, "Isn't it? Could it be..."

Tang San slightly nodded, "Without the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's consent, as a high-ranking Great Demon Emperor, and given that we had won fair and square in the competition, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor wouldn't have gone after us just for the sake of Mengte Te. After all, he's not the same as the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor."

Pretty Girl said in shock, "Why would the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox do such a thing?"

Tang San spoke gravely, "Because he controls fortune, he must have sensed our threat to the Monster and Spirit Clans. When he was awarding us back then, he actually made it very clear—if I were to escape this tribulation, it might represent something he could not control. He must have sensed the uniqueness of my destiny, after all, I've been reborn. So, he had already decided to kill me at that time. He wouldn't even need to explicitly command anyone; just by hinting at the Ancestral Court's stance to the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, combined with our previous crippling of Mengte Te, it would be enough reason for him to come after us."

"Moreover, 'Heavenly Fox Controls Fortune, Peacock Peeping into the Skies', I ask you, which is more important, fortune or destiny?" Tang San continued.

Pretty Girl pondered, "Destiny should be more important. Fortune is the trend, but destiny is the future."

Tang San nodded, "Exactly. Although I don't let you easily peek into destiny, since you control the Heavenly Mechanism Feather and have been recognized by it, you already have the ability to peer into destiny. For many years, the true controllers of the Ancestral Court have been the Heavenly Fox Tribe. If you were to become strong and able to guide both the Monster and Spirit Clans towards the future, wouldn't your importance possibly surpass that of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox? Then who would control the Ancestral Court? Although the possibility of you, with your human bloodline, taking control of the Ancestral Court is slim, how could the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, as the one who controls fortune, not be wary of you after sensing the Asura God's Sword within you? The simplest method of dealing with a threat is to nip it in the bud. Therefore, the easiest solution for the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox would be to eliminate us all. Your father probably understood this. He might not have truly beheld destiny, but as the Peacock Demon Clan Chief, when he escaped the Ancestral Court with us, he realized that the one truly unwilling to let us grow was the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, who seemed to support us. Therefore, he will never be a viable candidate to seek support from."

Pretty Girl lightly pursed her red lips, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand now."

Tang San said, "This time when we go back to the Ancestral Court, we'll meet with two Great Demon Emperors, your grandfather and the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor who helped us last time."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Mhm." Pretty Girl slightly nodded her head, "I'll listen to you."

Tang San held her hand, causing Pretty Girl's pretty face to blush instantly, "What are you doing?"

Tang San said gently, "Don't worry. Besides researching the Teleportation Array recently, I've also been simulating all the possible scenarios we might encounter. Now I've basically figured things out. There's still some uncertainty, but overall, I'm confident. No matter what, I will protect you completely and won't let you take any risks again."

Confidence comes from strength. When he first arrived at this plane, that was actually the most anxious time for Tang San. Then, he was a baby, physically fragile, and even the Pig Monster who had captured him could have easily killed him. At that time, he also worried about whether he would be able to find his reincarnated wife in this world and whether she would be able to grow up healthy.

Later, when he met Pretty Girl, his heart settled down by half. As long as he found her, the rest was just hard work. With the increase in strength, the feeling of control gradually returned. In his previous life, he was a control-class Battle Soul Master, not just controlling the battlefield, but controlling everything.

On the journey back from the Ancestral Court, even when faced with the pursuit of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, an emperor-level figure, everything was within Tang San's control. He was perfectly prepared, and although there was still risk involved, the probability of danger wasn't high. It was the same when Pretty Girl faced her Tribulation; it was a close call, but she made it through safely. What lay ahead for Tang San was his own Tribulation, which would be the most difficult. As long as he could successfully pass his Tribulation, then he would really have the ability to stand firm in this world and match strength with top powerhouses from the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan.

Completely altering the structure of this world is no easy task, especially since this plane is too powerful. Even if he were to regain the God King realm in the future, he could not change a plane casually, as it would be destructive. But once he grew to a certain degree, there would be nothing in this plane that could threaten his existence. Then it would be time for him to spread his wings and try to control all aspects at his will.

Pretty Girl inheriting the position of Jiali City Lord was just the beginning, and her foundation was unstable. Next, it was his turn to help her stabilize the foundation, while at the same time giving them enough time and space to grow.

Listening to his tender words, the blush on Pretty Girl's face faded a bit. She lightly lowered her head and leaned it against his chest, saying softly, "Thank you. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."

Tang San naturally embraced her, caressing her long hair, "That's something I should be saying. As long as you're by my side, nothing is a problem. We will surely overcome all obstacles."

With Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce as a backup, purchasing materials was easier than ever. Soon, Pretty Girl delivered to Tang San all the materials needed for constructing the Teleportation Array in Golden Valley, and Tang San began to officially construct this unprecedented super Teleportation Array for the entire Demon Monster Land.

The location chosen for the construction of the Teleportation Array was not beside the Golden Tree. Although the Golden Tree was constantly emitting a rich Life Aura, the fluctuations of the aura it released varied and were not constant, which could potentially affect the Teleportation Array.

Therefore, the place Tang San chose to establish the Teleportation Array was inside a cave.

The Red Name girls were recently taking turns being brought by Pretty Girl to the Peacock Demon Clan, serving as maidservants to experience life outside. Through this period of trial, they have become more outgoing and less fearful of the outside world, which in turn has led to satisfactory progress in their cultivation.
