Douluo Continent 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 869: Collective Seclusion “Yes, we will strictly follow the Tree Ancestor’s edict and obey the Clan Chief’s instructions.” All the elders of the Blue-Gold Tree Clan bowed before Tang San with wholehearted respect. Tang San smiled faintly and said, “Over the next month, I will lead you all in familiarizing yourselves with the Tree Ancestor’s radiance. Then, we will set out. If, after a month, the major cities still refuse to release our clan members, that will be the moment we take action.” “Yes””” Having settled all this, Tang San instructed the elders of the Blue-Gold Tree Clan to first engage in their own cultivation, experiencing the benefits and assistance bestowed by the Tree Ancestor’s imprint. He then entered seclusion himself””not to remain by the Tree Ancestor’s side, but in the clan leader’s quarters that had long been prepared for him. Jin Miaosen had always remained by Tang San’s side, and naturally, it too had been bathed in the radiance of the Tree Ancestor. Its reverence for this “elder brother” far surpassed that held for any other elder. It never could have imagined that Tang San’s arrival would resolve the Blue-Gold Tree Clan’s major crisis in such a short time””and that there were even signs of the clan’s resurgence. This was exactly what it had hoped to see! As the direct descendant of the Tree Ancestor, what could be more thrilling than this? After seeing Jin Miaosen off, Tang San closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and reflected on the insights gained from this journey””including the exchange with Fire Li Clan in the Lava Red Sea. Undoubtedly, the experience with the Blue-Gold Tree Clan was a pleasant surprise for him, but this surprise was equally significant for Fairy Continent. Thanks to Tang San inadvertently stimulating it with the Chaos Qi, the Tree Ancestor’s revival was undoubtedly a great boon for the entire Fairy Continent. As a result, the waning fortune of both the Demon Clan and the Spirit Clan had begun to rise once more. Celestial Fox Clan was the first to benefit the most from this, which was certainly not what Tang San had hoped to see. But the deed was done. The power of the Tree Ancestor, drawn from the very source of the planet’s life, was so immense that even Tang San could not destroy it now. Any attempt to do so would inevitably provoke the furious retaliation of the Ruler of the Plane. The source of life is the foundation of a planet’s existence and evolution; nothing is more important than that. Therefore, all he could do now was to work with the situation. With the Tree Ancestor’s revival, the one to benefit the most is Celestial Fox Clan. As for the Celestial Fox Great Demon Emperor, although it had previously suffered severe injuries and had gone into hiding, its current level of power is a testament to the benefits bestowed upon it by the Blue-Gold Tree Clan””or rather, by the Tree Ancestor. The fact that Zuting has sent an envoy””specifically a member of Celestial Fox Clan’s clan””proves that the Celestial Fox Great Demon Emperor wishes to extend goodwill toward the Blue-Gold Tree Clan and better utilize the Tree Ancestor’s life-source power in the future. It also serves to allow its clan members to verify whether the Tree Ancestor’s revival is genuine. Therefore, when Tang San proceeds to report to Zuting, he is certain to receive the full support of the Celestial Fox Great Demon Emperor. Richen Empire’s report to Zuting primarily requires the support of the major rulers of the Spirit Beast Clan, but as the ruler of Zuting, the Celestial Fox Great Demon Emperor’s endorsement will carry significant weight. As for whether the Sovereigns of the Spirit Tribe will support him, Tang San is not the least bit concerned. For Fairy Continent, it has always been a world where strength reigns supreme. Back when Mei Gongzi faced difficulties in his report, it was partly due to insufficient strength and partly because other Sovereigns sought to seize Jiali City. But none of these issues exist among the Blue-Gold Tree Clan. So, even Tang San himself hadn’t anticipated that the greatest benefit of this journey would come from the other side of Fairy Continent””the Blue-Gold Tree Clan would offer him far more than he could have imagined. This would give him a great deal of room to maneuver moving forward. He would also be better equipped to handle the challenges Mei Gongzi was about to face. However, now was not the time to reveal this to Mei Gongzi; otherwise, when he met her in the future as Jin Miaolin, his true identity would be easily exposed in front of the other Emperors. A flash of light,the Tower of Time and Space silently materialized before Tang San. Ethereal light and shadow flickered before him. As his own cultivation deepened and the level of his Life Source Power evolved, this creation of his””Divine Artifact””continued to evolve and be nurtured. The source of the Tower of Space-Time is the Space-Time Marker””a concept of such immense magnitude that it touches upon the primal forces of the entire universe. Mastering the forces of time and space would not only help Tang San regain his former strength but would also be the key to unlocking a far vaster world once he returned to his own divine realm. As long as Tang San can recover to the level of a God-King, this Tower of Time and Space will undoubtedly enter the realm of Super Divine Artifact, and it will certainly not be inferior to the Trident of the Sea God or Asura Divine Sword. Tang San’s eyes lit up. As he infused his divine consciousness into the Spatial-Temporal Tower before him, it emitted a gentle glow that quickly enveloped his body, and the faint light and shadow vanished without a sound. Yet Tang San appeared to remain seated in the lotus position, as if everything had returned to normal; even his aura and life force showed no signs of change. Jiali City. Silver light swirled around, and a grim, menacing aura flickered in and out of view. A faint red glow flickered on Mei Gongzi’s forehead. This sharp energy effortlessly sliced through the surrounding space, and from every rift it created, vast amounts of spatial energy surged forth, permeating her body. During Tang San’s absence, she spent most of her time in seclusion, training. She knew full well that many difficulties lay ahead, and she could not rely entirely on Tang San. Only by strengthening her own power could she work in tandem with Tang San, complementing one another to overcome the most arduous trials. The affairs of Jiali City were naturally entrusted to Princess, while the human city of Jianmu was handled by Xiao He. This former Peacock Great Demon King had now fully embraced his human role and was performing his duties exceptionally well. Humans have now fully recognized his leadership. With the help of the Sea Giants and the Sea Sky Tree Clan, a City of Jianmu connecting the major islands is gradually being built. Although it will take a long time to complete, everything is thriving. Redemption Organization is quietly gathering humans across the continent, concentrating their settlements into large-scale communities. When the time is right, a single large teleportation array will appear at each settlement, capable of instantly transporting all its inhabitants to safety. However, this comprehensive teleportation operation can only begin once Mei Gongzi or Tang San ascends to the throne. Precisely because he understood all this””and the weight of the responsibility he bore””Mei Gongzi devoted himself even more rigorously to his cultivation.
