Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San was also taken aback for a moment, and the next moment, cold sweat broke out on his back.

What is this scent? It was from when Huo Ling'er hugged his arm earlier! Although he teleported away immediately, he still left some of Huo Ling'er's scent on his body. To his surprise, Pretty Girl had such a sharp sense of smell that she detected it right away.

However, as a First-Generation God King, Tang San had absolutely solid mental composure. Pretending to be stunned for a moment upon hearing her words, he then said with a somewhat helpless smile: "I went to a magical place that is filled with fire elements everywhere. Could it be that you sensed the change in the fire elements on me? Don't worry, after I cultivate there for a while and bring back some good stuff, it will also be of great help to your Undying Fire Phoenix Bloodline."

"Is it the scent of fire elements? It does seem so. Very pure fire elements," muttered Pretty Girl.

Tang San hurriedly changed the subject, "What happened? You called me back."

Pretty Girl turned around and said, "The Ancestral Court has sent messengers twice in a row, urging me to get married. My father and I have been discussing how to deal with this."

It was at this moment that Xiao He stepped forward and explained the demands from the Ancestral Court and his own judgment to Tang San.

Tang San listened carefully to his narration, gradually furrowing his brow.

Just as Xiao He had said, this kind of overt scheme from the Ancestral Court was the most difficult to deal with. It stood completely on reasonable grounds; this was not something that could be glossed over with the support of a few Great Demon Emperors.

"That's why I had Little Beauty call you back. We need to discuss in detail how to deal with this. The Ancestral Court's official ruler is still the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, and from its actions last time, it is evident that it is highly wary of humans. Therefore, if Little Beauty stubbornly refuses to resolve the bloodline issue through marriage, then it's not just about losing the support from the Ancestral Court to become Emperor; even her position as City Lord could be challenged. Direct opposition is not advisable. Even the Emperors supporting Little Beauty can't exert much influence in this matter. Previously, Little Beauty told Jin Anguo that she already has a lover. The Ancestral Court could interpret this statement as an excuse or a human lover, which is definitely not acceptable to them, prompting them to urge her again. In my opinion, the best solution would be to have a fake marriage, finding a clansman within the Peacock Demon Clan to have a fake marriage, thereby deceiving the public. This can also buy us more time. However, it does mean putting Little Beauty in a bit of an uncomfortable position. After she becomes Emperor in the future, we can rectify the situation."

A fake marriage indeed seemed like the best way to deal with this, and operating within the Peacock Demon Clan would not be difficult.

Pretty Girl frowned, looking at Tang San.

"No," Tang San replied without hesitation, gazing affectionately at Pretty Girl. "I don't want her to suffer any discomfort, especially now that we already possess enough strength. Let's just agree to the Ancestral Court's request. In three months, we will set up a platform outside Jiali City, by the Endless Blue Ocean, to hold a tournament for marriage. Emperors and those below, from all tribes, can participate. The final victor will have the right to ask for marriage."

Xiao He was greatly shocked, "You're going to take action?"

Tang San nodded slightly, "Yes."

"That's too risky," Pretty Girl couldn't help but say.

Tang San looked at her, his eyes filled with determination, "For you, I'm willing to take any risk. Moreover, we must let the Ancestral Court know that Jiali City is not easy to bully. Otherwise, this kind of harassment will never end. Don't worry, I won't participate as a human, but as Jiali City's ally, the King of the Endless Blue Ocean, the Sea God."

Xiao He pondered, "The three-month period was proposed by the Ancestral Court, but we don't necessarily have to stick strictly to their timeline. How about we find an excuse to delay this timeframe a bit longer, wouldn't that be better?"

Tang San's eyes lit up, "If we could delay it, that would naturally be better. The more time we have, the more prepared we can be."

Even as the Sea God, when facing several Emperors above the Endless Blue Ocean, he could only defend himself, but given enough time, especially through continually absorbing the power of faith to enhance his divine consciousness, everything would be different.

With the continuous improvement of his divine consciousness, Tang San now felt that the Sea God's Trident and the Asura God's Sword were rapidly approaching Falan Planet. The arrival of these two super divine weapons was the key for him to regain the Godking rank. Therefore, what he needed most now was to vie for time.

With the ability to absorb the power of faith after becoming a God, his Cultivation base could be described as growing with each passing day. With such an improvement, as long as he had ample time, he was bound to move towards the Emperor level. Strength was the foundation of everything.

Pretty Girl looked at Xiao He and asked, "Dad, what reason should we use then?"

Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There's no better reason than your continued Cultivation improvement. Just say you had an epiphany and need to go into seclusion for a while. Aren't the envoys from the Ancestral Court still here? We'll create a big commotion for them. Make them feel that you truly had a sudden realization, so your seclusion will be completely justified. We'll agree on the surface but delay as much as possible using your seclusion as an excuse."

Tang San couldn't help but laugh, truly, a wise old man is a treasure! Xiao He's simple suggestions could possibly win them more time, and as long as they had ample time, his preparations would also be more abundant. Want to compete with him for Pretty Girl? He would annihilate whoever came.

Pretty Girl thought for a moment and said, "Use the Heavenly Mechanism Feather? Would causing spatial fluctuations be the most effective? Let me think about how to do it."

Tang San smiled slightly, "No need to think, I'll handle it. I'll go back to the City Lord Manor with you. You just need to watch, I have a way, and it will undoubtedly be shocking enough for them."

Pretty Girl's eyes lit up, "Okay." With him around, it seemed that no problem was insurmountable, and that was the fundamental reason why she always felt a strong sense of security with him.

The three of them teleported back to the City Lord Manor in Jiali City. Tang San asked for a quiet room, leaving only Pretty Girl by his side.

The door closed, and Pretty Girl used space elements to seal the entire space within the quiet room, preventing the outside from sensing anything inside.

"How do you plan to do this?" she asked Tang San curiously.

Tang San smiled faintly, "This is something I've planned for a long time. Do you remember you gave me the Heavenly Mechanism Feather? I have researched this divine tool for a while. Indeed, it is a very magical artifact that can foretell the future, and that is a very powerful ability. However, this foresight is also a curse. Those who peek into the Heavenly Mechanism will suffer backlash. So, is there a way to resolve this backlash and still peer into some Heavenly Mechanisms? I thought about it for a long time, and such a method does not exist. Peering into the Heavenly Mechanism is too domineering, the backlash is so strong that even the former me would not be able to avoid issues. Therefore, after careful consideration, I plan to use the Heavenly Mechanism Feather as a basis to refine a new divine tool. This artifact will reduce the effect of peering into the Heavenly Mechanism, making the Heavenly Mechanism vague, thus significantly reducing the backlash. But at the same time, it will still have a certain effect. Moreover, being an artifact created by me, to a certain extent, I can influence it, such as, I can bring the Heavenly Mechanism within my cognition to it, making the foresight affect all those who see it. That means, the kind of Heavenly Mechanism I want others to peek into, will be exactly what they see." Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
