Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Even though Tang San hasn't yet returned to his once God King level of strength, after surviving the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he has fully recovered as a genuine deity. His divine powers might not be usable in combat, but within his own domain, they can manifest an unimaginable divine might.

Under his great vow, he single-handedly bestowed divine blessings across the entire Endless Blue Ocean with his deity's power. Although due to his current cultivation base, he can't simultaneously cover the entire boundless Endless Blue Ocean with this golden light of benevolence, the Sea God's blessings would still spread throughout the Endless Blue Ocean carried by the waters.

Last time, due to limited time, Tang San did not manage to finish this step. But now, he has returned, with ample time. He blessed the Endless Blue Ocean with his great vows, and in this manner, announced to all creatures within the Endless Blue Ocean that their God has descended! The Endless Blue Ocean now had its own guardian.

Centered around Crescent Island, all members of the Sea Clan that first felt the golden light of benevolence burst out of the sea surface at the first instance, worshipping in the direction of Tang San.

They were so excited at this moment, clearly feeling the light of God descend upon them, experiencing a heartfelt sense of happiness and safety. The Endless Blue Ocean finally had its own guardian, and it was finally the time for its own luck to arrive.

Countless power of faith surged from all directions towards Crescent Island, frantically flowing into Tang San's body, enhancing his divine consciousness, allowing the golden light of benevolence to shine even more intensely.

Ancestral Court.

In the Heavenly Fox Palace, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a massive white light array. Behind him, the tangible Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's nine immense tails swayed gracefully.

Rings of white halos continuously surged from all around, flowing into the light array beneath him.

Since Tang San's last tribulation, where nearly half of his luck was drained, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had been in closed-door cultivation. The matters of Crystal City were of course important, but now he couldn't attend to them. Nothing was more crucial than gathering luck. The impact of the lightning tribulation wasn't just a near loss of half his luck, but it also destabilized the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain and the Ancestral Court's luck; this was the greatest risk. He must stabilize his luck and then absorb the plane's luck to replenish it. This was not only about the Ancestral Court but the entire Heavenly Fox Clan. If the Heavenly Fox Clan lost this luck, then the whole race would collapse.

After months of effort, he finally stabilized the array under the Heavenly Fox Palace, beginning to absorb luck once again. But to return to the former state wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. Even if the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox put forth all his efforts, it would still take at least a hundred years to gather such a vast amount of luck.

The fall of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had an effect on the luck of both Monster and Fairy Clans. Originally, on the entire Falan Planet, almost all Emperors emerged from Demon Monster Land, maintaining a saturation of numbers, and hence, in other regions, it was nearly impossible for any Emperors to arise. This too was the influence of luck. But with the Crystal Great Demon Emperor's death, a significant portion of the upper limit was vacated. If at this time Emperors were to emerge outside of Demon Monster Land, it would be possible. This was also an important reason why the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had to muster his full strength to accumulate luck.

He didn't stop Pretty Girl from making her report that time, but took White Tiger Great Demon King to exterminate human settlements; there was deep meaning in his actions. The innate talents of Pretty Girl were naturally discernible by these Emperors; she was bound to become an Emperor in the future. As long as she continued normal cultivation, advancement to Emperor status was a wide open path with her exceptional aptitude.

The fall of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor made the quick emergence of a new Emperor extremely significant for Demon Monster Land. Other Emperors could take advantage of this opportunity to improve their cultivation base, but the vacant position also had to be filled. Therefore, since Pretty Girl was the most likely candidate, naturally, it was best for her to fill that role due to her quicker speed. However, they had to resolve her human identity issue — eradicating the human settlements to leave her no path of retreat, ensuring she would commit herself as a Monster Clan's Emperor. This was the underlying purpose of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's actions.

At this moment, while continuing to gather luck, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox suddenly frowned with a tight expression, slowly opening his eyes.

Because he could clearly feel that the luck which was constantly becoming denser around him had suddenly diminished a great deal.

The rings of luck that were originally converging towards him had clearly started to thin out.

What's going on here?

As one of the most powerful emperors of this era, as an emperor who presides over Luck, he clearly felt that something seemed to be diminishing in his world. The speed at which Luck was accumulating was noticeably decreasing, and it was a substantial decrease. It was as though some existence was contending with him for this Luck.

But he was absolutely confident that, when it came to Luck, he should be the strongest in the world. Why then was this happening?

Instantly, the spreading nine tails carried incomparable splendor, and as the halo blossomed, it also brought about a strange change in aura. At that moment, he seemed to become the center of the world. The originally thinning Luck suddenly became rich again.

However, this richness only lasted for a brief moment. Suddenly, the circles of white halos collapsed abruptly, dissolving into wisps and streams of white airflow that scattered in all directions.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox grunted, his eyes opening to reveal a touch of shock.

He had just used his most powerful strength to gather Luck, yet he had failed. Although he had momentarily accumulated a lot of Luck, it was unsustainable and did not continue to gather endlessly as it had in the past.

How could this be? Since he had become an emperor, such a thing had never happened before!

This was definitely not good news, not just for himself, but also for the Heavenly Fox Clan, and even more so for the Ancestral Court. It meant that the Ancestral Court's speed of gathering Luck had greatly reduced.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox sat stunned on the spot. After the brief shock, he quickly calmed down. He rapidly analyzed the reasons for this situation in his heart.

Soon, he arrived at a conclusion. There were no other possibilities; in this world, the only thing that could contend with him for Luck was the plane itself.

Last time, when forcibly overcoming Tribulation, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor attempted to bribe the plane master with Lucky Lotus Seed, hoping for Rebirth through Tribulation. Although it ended in failure, it still provided the plane master with a large amount of Luck. Could it be that he had been targeted by the plane master since then? Was this to prevent him from gathering more Luck for the Monster and Fairy Clans?

Was this to maintain cosmic balance and prevent too much Misfortune Descending outside of Demon Monster Land, thus affecting the plane itself?

It must be so, this was the plane's warning to him.

This discovery made the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's expression grow increasingly grim.

Of course, he knew that the plane itself had control over the entire planet, and as the patriarch of the Heavenly Fox Clan, as the contemporary Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, his most important task was to snatch Luck from the plane to bless the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan. This was also why he held such a lofty position in the Ancestral Court.

But now, there was evidently a change in the situation. If he lost the ability to gather Luck for the plane, what would that mean? It meant that the Heavenly Fox Clan would be headed towards extinction; it was inevitable. Without the continuous gathering of a large amount of Luck, they could only maintain the current state. Everything would still be maintainable while he was alive, but once he fell in the future, could the Heavenly Fox Clan produce another emperor? That would be quite difficult. If the plane could prevent him from absorbing Luck, then it could also stop the Heavenly Fox Clan from producing another Great Demon Emperor. And the inherently non-combatant Heavenly Fox Clan, even though their bloodline could control Luck, would be inevitably marginalized if they were unable to aggregate Luck for the Ancestral Court. With such a talent as the Heavenly Fox Clan, once they lost their position in the Ancestral Court, it would be a double-loss situation, they would become weaker and weaker, until extinction.
