Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 810: The Power of a God
Chapter 810: The Power of a God
Tang San's figure rapidly expanded, and the golden light enveloped Mei Gongzi. In almost an instant, his height reached over a hundred meters. The dazzling golden light frantically absorbed all the energy within the Seasky Palace, merging it into his golden body. The intense divine aura made him appear as the supreme ruler of the palace.

Tang San's aura surged madly, and even without bringing out the Sea God's Trident, his presence had reached an unparalleled level.
A fear originating from the very core of their divine consciousness simultaneously struck the six kings, causing them to take a step back instinctively. They were all stunned, and their eyes wide in disbelief.
Their power, and the power of the Seasky Palace, could only serve as nourishment for Tang San. Forget about chaining him down; it actually gave him wings.
"Eight days ago, you might have had a slim chance. But I have spent these past eight days completing the foundational blessing of the Endless Blue Sea, which is equivalent to merging my divine seat with the sea. Now, I am the sea, and the sea is me. All your powers come from the Endless Blue Sea and are connected to it. Therefore, you are all subjects of the Sea God. And those subjects who act against their god... are sinners."
Tang San's voice was deep and filled with authority, tinged with a hint of reproach. The golden light emanating from him grew increasingly intense.
The Middle Pillar King was horrified to realize that he had lost control of the Seasky Palace. The entire palace was now under Tang San's command.
This made perfect sense—why shouldn't a divine artifact born from the sea be controlled by the Sea God?
But because this world had never seen a true god, the Sea Giant Kings did not understand what a god truly meant. Any god, within their domain, ruled supreme over everything within it, regardless of cultivation level. Tang San was the Sea God, so nothing born within the sea he governed could defy him. This was a qualitative difference that did not stem from cultivation.
Indeed, the Middle Pillar King had never understood what the Sea God represented. The young man in front of him was no longer the ninth-order Tang San who needed a lightning tribulation to threaten them. He was now a true god, the supreme existence of the Endless Blue Sea. Using any power within the Blue Sea to oppose him was fundamentally impossible.
This was why Tang San, even while fully aware that the Middle Pillar King had some ill intentions, had brought Mei Gongzi here with him—because within the Endless Blue Sea, there was simply no force capable of harming him!
Tang San spread his arms wide, and the trident mark on his forehead suddenly burst out with radiant light. A beam of golden light shone directly upon the Middle Pillar King.
The Middle Pillar King felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely unable to resist; his own power seemed to turn against him, restricting his movements, and he couldn't muster a single ounce of strength. Under the shocked gazes of the other kings, he rapidly shrank until he was the size of a human.
One after another, beams of golden light shot out, striking the remaining five kings, causing them to experience the same transformation.
Initially, Tang San had seemed insignificant in their presence, but now the roles were entirely reversed. The six kings appeared minuscule before Tang San, as their cultivation had been completely sealed by his power.
The surface of the twenty-four Sea Pillars shimmered with light, streams of energy flowing toward Tang San, merging into his body and making the golden light around him even more radiant.
All six kings were suppressed and forced to the ground; there, they deeply sensed the terrifying divine aura emanating from Tang San. They couldn't move or speak, but they could still think and felt the full terror of the Sea God.
Behind Tang San, a massive throne formed from golden light appeared, and Tang San sat upon it, closing his eyes.
From the outside, the Seasky Palace appeared to burst forth with intense golden light, painting the surrounding sea floor in gold. Ripples of golden radiance spread outward, blessing the sea.
This was the power of the Sea God. Although this place was far from Crescent Island, it didn't matter; it was still part of the sea. Tang San took this opportunity to extend his blessing to this region, allowing more sea beasts to experience the bliss that the Sea God's Blessing brought.
The greatest mistake of the Middle Pillar King and the others was their lack of understanding of gods and their ignorance of what a true god represented.
Even though Tang San did not have a divine realm to connect to in this plane, his divine seat was very much his all the same. This was why the plane had triggered the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Extinguishing Tribulation to prevent his ascension. In the end, it had no choice, especially after being bribed with the fortune Tang San returned to it by breaking open those lotus seeds, and reluctantly allowed him to succeed. With that, he had become a completely unique being in this plane.
On land, this wasn't as evident, as it wasn't his domain and he hadn't returned to his God King cultivation level just yet. But once he was above the sea, especially now that he had connected his divine seat to the faith source that was the Endless Blue Sea, he had truly become the sea's ruler. Even the planar ruler would not readily interfere with his authority.
Moreover, everything Tang San did after arriving in the Endless Blue Sea was purely beneficial for the plane. As the Sea God, he cared for the Endless Blue Sea, eradicated the Sea Plague, and consolidated fortune for the sea. All of this aligned with the plane's balance and benefited its normal development, so the planar ruler had absolutely no reason to prevent it from happening. Thus, Tang San's position as Sea God was firmly established.
The Sea Giant clan's attempt to seize control of the Endless Blue Sea was nothing short of a joke to Tang San. In his own domain, they had no chance of matching him in battle. Even if they brought out some never-before-seen resources, Tang San's and Mei Gongzi's cultivation made them unafraid. Though his Sea God's Trident had nothing but a tiny sliver of a transcendent divine artifact's power, it could channel the immense power of the Endless Blue Sea itself, which was more than enough to suppress anything.
All divine artifacts born from the sea possessed a trace of divinity ultimately connected to the Sea God. The Seasky Palace was indeed an exceptionally powerful artifact, one that would rank among the top even on the Daemon Continent. But what use was that? Unleashing it before Tang San was akin to gifting him the artifact.
The five Sea Giant Kings and the Seasky Tree King were suppressed on the ground, utterly terrified. Their senses remained, and they could even feel that Tang San was seemingly drawing the energy accumulated in their ancestral land, which had sustained the Sea Giants for countless years.
The Sea Giant clan had always followed their ancestral teachings, tirelessly preparing for the day when they could produce a Sea Emperor or even a Sea God. They amassed vast reserves and waited for the moment of transformation.
A long time ago, they had been on the brink of achieving their goal; they had been truly close to producing an Emperor. And if an Emperor had been born, the Sea Giants would undoubtedly have become the rulers of the Endless Blue Sea. They could have gathered even more faith to absorb, potentially allowing them to ascend further—at least, that was how they saw it.
But the Daemon Continent's consumption of the planet's fortune shattered the Sea Giant clan's dream. In the end, no Emperor was born, and the faith energy accumulated over countless years could only keep accumulating.
