Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Xiao He nodded slightly and said, "Humans are weak, but human intelligence has always been recognized by the upper echelons of the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan. Otherwise, why would many great nobles have humans as vassals? Humans have been around for a very long time. Although they don't possess bloodline talents and often face dangers, being slaves with a short life span, human numbers have actually been increasing. What you don't know is that on the entire Demon Monster Land today, if we speak purely in terms of numbers, humans are the most numerous of all races. How can a race with enough intelligence and strong reproductive abilities not be feared by the Ancestral Court?"

"Do you know how the Demon God Transformation came about? It's not just something humans actively sought for survival. It was also an experiment by the Ancestral Court, attempting to solve the reproductive difficulties of many races through crossbreeding with humans. However, although humans have no bloodline talents, any offspring born from a union between any race and humans will ultimately look human, only with the ability of the Demon God Transformation. What's stranger is that those humans who possess the legacy of the Demon God Transformation almost always consider themselves human rather than Monster Clan. After a long period of experimentation, the Ancestral Court finally abandoned this method. But humans, taking advantage of this experiment, began to see the emergence of strong individuals with the Demon God Transformation, even second and third generation legacies. Despite still being restricted by bloodlines and unable to become especially powerful, the overall survival ability of humans has greatly improved."

"The Ancestral Court also once issued a prohibition against having intimate relations with humans. But in the end, it came to nothing. The Ancestral Court was puzzled, wondering why humans have such great allure. And it's not just the women; the men too. There are even female members of the Monster Clan who are willing to bear children for human men. This led to an increasing number of humans possessing the Demon God Transformation, and later, organizations like Redemption emerged."

"All of this signifies evolution. Humans are evolving. Whether it's intellect or ability, it is so. On the surface, they lack innate powers, but they have mysterious potential. They even have the ability to assimilate other races. This is why the Ancestral Court has become increasingly attentive to humans. With Little Beauty having human bloodline, it's naturally very difficult for her to successfully claim her position. And you established the human settlements too early, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox probably judged that if this led to a second large-scale evolution for humans, it would likely become uncontrollable. That's why she tried to prevent Little Beauty's successful claim. But in the end, due to various reasons you mentioned, she had to acknowledge her claim, yet she definitely could not allow humans to become strong again because of Little Beauty. Hence the slaughter, as well as pressuring Little Beauty to quickly transition toward the Monster Clan direction."

Listening to Xiao He's analysis, Tang San gradually came to a realization. So, it turns out that the seemingly weak humans on this plane had already alerted the Ancestral Court. Indeed, the evolutionary capacity of humans is formidable!

In his previous life, on Soul Land, the original humans were also very weak, with the most powerful beings being those known as soul beasts. Soul beasts were exceedingly formidable, oppressing human living space. But as time passed, humans managed to develop their own cultivation methods and could enhance themselves with soul rings by hunting the soul beasts, eventually becoming masters of that plane. Even later, soul beasts had to obey humans, living on other planets under human guidance.

In this plane of Falan Planet, human evolution is clearly far from reaching a level where they can compete with the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan. But since his arrival in this plane, he has undoubtedly been pushing this trend forward.

As a former God King, Tang San even felt that, in the dark, the laws of the universe actually favored humans the most.

He remembered that in his previous life, he had heard stories about the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan is an extremely powerful race, and that holds true on any plane. And in the plane controlled by the Dragon Clan that he knew of, the Dragon Clan was so powerful that they established a mighty Divine Realm. But in the end, it was destroyed under the guidance of the laws of the universe. By contrast, when the Douluo Divine Realm was targeted by the laws of the universe, it was just swept away by the chaos of space and time. It seems that the laws of the universe are much more lenient towards humans than other races, and now, after listening to Xiao He, he suddenly had this realization.

If humanity is so uniquely favored, could it be that in the vast depths of the universe, the true will that governs the entire universe is actually humanity's true ancestor, or even its creator?@@novelbin@@

This thought flashed through his mind and disappeared, but even though he had regained his power at the level of a God King, such contemplation was still far beyond his reach.

However, Tang San was certain of one thing: as long as humanity is given enough room to grow, no matter how powerful the creatures it faces, humanity will eventually emerge as the victor.

Xiao He looked at Tang San, who appeared lost in thought, "Therefore, before humanity truly grows up, it has to keep a low profile, an even lower profile. Moreover, you should know that on this plane, the top-level resources, including luck, are limited. The Peacock Demon, the ancestor of the Peacock Demon Clan, once said that in her glimpse into the Heavenly Mechanism, she could see the future of the planet. Although it was vague, she was certain that the planet's capacity is limited and will not permit excessive exploitation. Thus, the number of top-level powerhouses must be controlled within a certain range to avoid angering the plane and bringing about backlash.

"This limit is actually related to the height and number of the Emperor Sky Pillars in the Ancestral Court Council. There must be a limited number of Emperors existing at the same time, and the Sky Pillars that Emperors turn into after death are, to a certain extent, giving back some of their former power to the plane. Then new Emperors are born. So long as there are so many Emperors in the Ancestral Court, humans have no chance of becoming Emperors, and even less chance of contending with them. Now that the Crystal Great Demon Emperor has fallen, you do have some opportunity, and you must seize it. Only if you truly become Emperors in the future will you have a chance to genuinely protect humanity. In the future, we can gradually increase the number of human Emperors."

"But we can think of this, and the Ancestral Court can definitely think of it too. So, when you achieve the status of Emperor in the future, it will be extremely dangerous. The rite of the Emperor reporting their duty is no easy task. According to the ancestors' records, to become an Emperor, one must be witnessed by heaven and earth to break through that level. And this heavenly witness must be in the Ancestral Court, which, as far as we know to date, is the only place in the whole plane. Only by gaining recognition from all the Emperors can one take that step. Little Beauty would only have a chance to pass if she completely transformed into a member of the Demon Race. As for you, that is simply impossible. You must also be prepared for this in your mind."

Tang San nodded. He had already made some judgments about this in his heart. The implications from the White Tiger Great Demon King had been very clear. However, he also had enough confidence in himself that when that time came, no one could stop him from becoming an Emperor.

Xiao He said, "So you are planning to stay here until the hundred-day period is up before leaving. How are you planning to arrange things for me?"

Tang San said, "You are now in a human body. After returning to Jiali City, you will recognize the princess. With your former experience, it is most suitable for you to match the Peacock Transformation. I will ask the princess to sacrifice some of her bloodline power, which I will help you integrate as you re-cultivate the Peacock Transformation. In the coming time, I will lay a good foundation for you and teach you a method of cultivation. The most painful process was already dealt with when you were still a corpse. This method of cultivation will greatly enhance your body's bearing capacity, and you should be able to make rapid progress in your cultivation in the future. The Peacock Demon Clan certainly does not lack resources. I believe it won't take too long for you to recover most of your cultivation base."
