Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 849: Returning to the Firedawn clan

Mei Gongzi nodded and said, "Half a year is still a bit tight, right? Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If things don't work out, I'll just run away with you."

After saying this, she couldn't help but laugh. Along with her cultivation, her confidence also continued to increase, especially after witnessing Tang San's power in the Endless Blue Sea. She understood that as long as they were there, they wouldn't be in danger.

Tang San laughed and said, "That won't do. I must marry my wife with proper standing. When the time comes, I'll make them see how powerful I am. I want to use this opportunity to intimidate the Ancestral Court. Only by doing so can we give humanity a full chance to develop without being oppressed."

Mei Gongzi nodded and said, "It's so good to have you here. Mayor Zhang once told me that it was through you that he saw true redemption, and the more you do, the more I understand what he meant."

Tang San sighed softly and said, "Perhaps this is destiny's arrangement. There's a higher will in the universe, and that is the will of the cosmos."

When he said the words "will of the cosmos," his heart couldn't help but feel a bit heavy. The Douluo Divine Realm had faced the suppression of the cosmos. Before the will of the cosmos, even the most powerful divine realm was insignificant. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Anyway, now that things are settled, I need to go back. On my trip, I discovered a place called the Magma Red Sea, where a powerful race called the Firedawn clan resides. Before I returned, I was negotiating an alliance with them. Having such strong allies will be greatly beneficial to the future development of humanity. They are very weak right now, and in the next few hundred years, we won't be able to grow strong enough to contend with the Daemon Continent. So, we must prepare in every way possible, forging more alliances for humanity. Only in this way can humanity truly survive and thrive. With enough time to develop, humanity will undoubtedly rise."

"Mm, you go ahead. I need to start my own seclusion as well. Recently, I've gained quite a bit of insight. Strengthening divine consciousness is really important—it allows me to sense so much more." Although Mei Gongzi was reluctant to part again, she understood that every day was extremely precious now. Tang San was paving the way for the future.

In fact, Mei Gongzi felt incredibly fortunate. Without Tang San, after reaching the tenth order, it would have been much more difficult for her to continue advancing. It would have required year after year, decade after decade of painstaking cultivation. But with Tang San's help, after she broke through to the ninth order, her strength increased even faster than before. How long had it been since her divine tribulation? Yet she was already a mid-level Great Demon King. This was something she never dared to dream of before; in fact, it was something no one had ever dared to dream of. Now, she was even hailed as the number one genius of the Empyrean Dominion, with the greatest potential to become an Emperor in the future.

Beyond her increase in bloodline power and technical prowess, the most important thing Tang San's assistance brought her was the enhancement of her divine consciousness. After reaching godhood, divine consciousness was even more important than bloodline power. The stronger it was, the faster one's cultivation would be. And the fact that she was connected to Tang San through the Asura Sword allowed her to benefit from his faith energy absorption, essentially making her something of a Sea God herself—how could her progress not be fast?

Of course, Tang San's cultivation was far faster. He was the actual owner of the divine seat, and he had an unlimited tank of energy to draw from at all times. He had also absorbed energy gathered over millennia by the Sea Giant Clan, and that had been a massive boost. His divine consciousness was simply unprecedented for his level.

After bidding farewell to Mei Gongzi, Tang San once again began long-distance teleportation. He had just finished forming an alliance with the Firedawn clan, and then immediately ran back—what would they think of him? He had to hurry back as soon as possible.

By the time he returned to the underground altar of the Fire God City, he was quite exhausted, and the heat here wasn't helping much.

Even with the Spacetime Lighthouse, long-distance teleportation consumed a considerable amount of energy. Moreover, all he'd done during his time in Kali City was work on divine artifacts; he had used his divine energy and divine consciousness quite liberally, and he'd barely even taken a break before teleporting back here.

Thus, when Huo Ling'er saw Tang San, she immediately noticed that his face looked a bit pale. She approached him and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Tang San instinctively stepped back, putting some distance between himself and her. He had nearly been misunderstood by Mei Gongzi last time—how could he let her get close to him again?

Seeing Tang San avoiding her as if she were some kind of monster, Huo Ling'er couldn't help but feel indignant. She said, "Am I that ugly? Why are you running? Let me tell you, even though my clan holds the Fire God Festival every year, I still haven't chosen a mate. You won the bet with the Scorching King, which makes you my husband now. If you don't let me near you, then we don't have a deal. I'm the next leader of the Firedawn clan, and what I say goes. And you better believe I mean what I say."

She was genuinely angry. As the future leader of the Firedawn clan and the most beautiful woman of her generation, being rejected by someone she openly courted was downright insulting.

"Don't misunderstand," Tang San said helplessly. "I don't think you're ugly; quite the opposite. But I already have a wife. I really can't marry you."

Huo Ling'er responded forcefully, "I don't care. You may have a wife, but she's your wife in the human world. You don't have one in the Firedawn clan. And besides, nothing stops you from following the customs of my people: I don't need you to marry me, just give me a child. Our child will surely be able to hold the Fire God's Scepter like no one else."

Huo Ling'er was not at her calmest right now, but she was certainly no fool. Tang San had a divine seat of his own, something no one else in this plane had. If she could give birth to his child, that child would certainly possess strong divinity. This would undoubtedly be of tremendous benefit to the Firedawn clan.

Although Tang San now knew about the Firedawn clan's love of freedom and freedom of love, he was still taken aback by her words. For most men, this would clearly be a very tempting offer. Huo Ling'er was truly stunning; her face and figure were something no ordinary man could resist. But was he an ordinary man? He wasn't! In his heart, there was no room for anyone else besides his Xiao Wu and his Mei Gongzi. How could he possibly get involved with a Firedawn girl he had only just met?

Suddenly, Huo Ling'er once again lunged toward Tang San. The surrounding flames surged, and the temperature noticeably rose a few degrees.

Tang San felt utterly helpless. He hadn't expected to encounter such a situation right after returning. He had no choice but to dodge. The Spacetime Lighthouse appeared in front of his chest, instantly slowing the flow of time around him, and Huo Ling'er's lightning-fast charge became sluggish.

"Ling'er, please don't be impulsive. How about this: let me first help restore some of the Fire God's Scepter's divinity. I really do have a wife, and I can't betray her. Besides, we've only just met, how could we possibly..."

"Are you even a man? Let me tell you, during every Fire God Festival, my clan's blood boils, and it must be released. I've endured for so many years, and now that we have an agreement and you've won me as your wife, you have to do something with me. If not, won't I become the laughingstock of my people? If I die, the contract will be void, and your humans might even become our enemies."

Huo Ling'er's threats were downright vicious; Tang San was rather shocked, but then he noticed that her state seemed quite off. The pink hue in her eyes had deepened considerably, and even her pale skin now had a pink tint. Was this a characteristic of the Firedawn clan's bloodline?

He had considered teleporting away, but after realizing that something was wrong with Huo Ling'er's condition, he dismissed the idea. He could sense that her bloodline power was not just agitated but downright chaotic. If it was not brought under control, there was a risk she might fall into madness. And just as Huo Ling'er had said, if something happened to her, things would undoubtedly sour between Tang San and Firedawns.
