Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 907 - 905: Communication

Chapter 907: Chapter 905: Communication

“Thank you for your encouragement, Your Majesty, but I feel that I am far from being an Emperor, and becoming one seems… improbable.”

The Tianyang Spirit King said, “In this matter, we will support you, and the Tree Ancestor will also support you. Our Rihchen Empire also needs an Emperor like you. Only if you become an Emperor can you better mobilize the Power of Life Origin to make greater contributions to the Rihchen Empire.”

Tang San’s heart stirred, he suddenly understood something, and quickly replied, “If there really comes a day when I ascend to Emperor, I will never forget Your Majesty’s grace. Whatever Your Majesty requires, I shall give my all.”

The Tianyang Spirit King stood up, walked over to him and patted his shoulder, then moved towards the window, his back to Tang San, and said, “You should know about the fall of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor not long ago, right?”

“Yes,” Tang San also stood up, turning to face him.

The Tianyang Spirit King sighed and said, “At our age, most of our considerations are about our own Life Force. In this regard, our Plant-class has an advantage, but the Crystal Great Demon Emperor also had many unique experiences, which allowed her to live for over three thousand years. Every one of us Emperors greatly craves for life force, and your Blue Golden Tree Clan possesses the purest life force, which is the fundamental reason that your clan faces all sorts of targeting. Even if you manage to become an Emperor in the future, it will be difficult to fully protect your clansmen. Do you have any thoughts on this?”

Tang San nodded, “Indeed, I have some thoughts. I believe it’s better to channel than to obstruct, rather than be coveted, it’s better to take the initiative. This time I’ve come to the Ancestral Court to report my duties, and I also hope that the Ancestral Court will discuss this matter. I want my clansmen to be able to disperse to the major cities and condense life force for them, all under the assurance of safety. Of course, mainly on the side of our Rihchen Empire.”

The Tianyang Spirit King suddenly turned around, his eyes blazing as he stared at Tang San, “Your idea is very bold, tell me more.”

Tang San spoke solemnly, “I’m very aware of the issues with our Blue Golden Tree Clan, which even the Tree Ancestor did not resolve. With the revival of the Tree Ancestor, he has given us stronger life condensation abilities, and also the ability to bestow life. Our clansmen, especially those above the King rank, have strong abilities to condense life force. A major city, with the presence of such a King, could focus the surrounding life force towards the city center, benefiting the races within the city. The stronger our clansmen are, the more vast and formidable the life force they can condense becomes, even drawing upon the plane’s Power of Life Origin, improving the life rank of those who absorb it. For our clan, our ability to cultivate using such life force also improves. This time I’ve brought thirty-six Elders, each of whom possesses such abilities. Some of the larger cities could definitely have multiple Elders stationed there, thereby achieving a better effect in condensing life force.”

The Tianyang Spirit King pondered thoughtfully, “Your approach is interesting. But as you said, your race itself is like a natural treasure, so ensuring safety is a problem. And if all of your Kings come out, who will take care of Jianmu City? What kind of position will your race be in the future?”

Tang San stated without hesitation, “Neutral. A position of absolute neutrality. As a part of the main cities, including those within Tianyu Empire if you permit. We can visit each of the main cities, but will not interfere with them in any other respect. Each of our clansmen who travels to the main cities will need to be guarded for safety by the strong ones dispatched by the respective cities, while we will be responsible for gathering life energy to assist in their enhancement.”

“I’ve thought a lot about the issues our clan is facing. As you said, even if I became an Emperor, I wouldn’t be able to protect every clansmen. To many races, we are like a resource. In that case, we’ll let this resource help those who need it, becoming a more precious and guarded resource. Only in this way can our clan exist forever. Although this method is not as direct as plundering the life energy of our clansmen, it excels in the long run. The longer the time, the more life energy we can provide. Moreover, we will spread the Mark of the Tree Ancestor across the Continent, letting the glory of the Tree Ancestor shine brighter. But at the same time, it also disperses the power of the Tree Ancestor, gathering the plane’s life energy to nourish our Demon Monster Land. In Jianmu City, we only need a portion to remain. It’s enough for the Ancestral Court to allow Jianmu City to always be under our clan’s control, serving as a sacred place.”

This time, the Tianyang Spirit King did not respond immediately but seemed to fall into contemplation, turning back towards the window. Through the window, one could see the Ancestral Court from high above, commanding a wide view.

After a long while, the Tianyang Spirit King finally spoke, “And what about you? When the time comes, will you choose to stay in Jianmu City, or in the Ancestral Court?”

Tang San replied, “With our clansmen in all the main cities gathering life energy, how could our Ancestral Court be devoid of the condensation of Life Aura? If I am to be an Emperor, I am willing to be the life core of the Ancestral Court, to gather the Life Force for it. To provide purest life energy for all Emperors to solve their problems with life energy. I believe that as my control over life energy increases, I can certainly make the lives of all Emperors much more extensive and enduring.”

“What benefit is there for you in doing this? If it’s really as you say, then you might never be able to leave the Ancestral Court again and must stay seated here,” the Tianyang Spirit King said gravely.

Tang San nodded silently and said, “That is true. But this is the best choice to allow our clansmen to truly walk under the sunlight. I’m sure you can guess that the Tree Ancestor has not truly awakened. In fact, having merged into the plane, it can only awaken some instincts at best. I have gained the recognition of the Tree Ancestor and can guide the power of the Tree Ancestor to a certain extent, but only within a certain range. The Tree Ancestor’s radiance is not enough to protect our clansmen anywhere on the Continent. If I can become the life core of the Ancestral Court, then, surely all Emperors’ attitudes towards our clan will change, and the safety of our clan will be more assured. Additionally, being the core of the Continent, if I can continuously absorb life energy here, it will greatly benefit not only the Ancestral Court but also my personal growth. Perhaps, years from now, I might become the next Tree Ancestor. My life will be exceedingly long.”

The Tianyang Spirit King nodded and said, “Your idea is bolder than what I had originally planned. I meant to suggest that you stay in the Ancestral Court as well, yet I didn’t expect to let your Blue Gold Tree Clan bless all the main cities, becoming a Neutral Race. But then, if we support you as an Emperor, what benefit does it bring to Rihchen Empire? Your neutral position will surely treat Tianyu Empire the same.”

Tang San said, “After all, our Blue Gold Tree Clan belongs to the Plant-class, and with neutrality, there’s always a tendency. If there truly comes a day when Tianyu Empire and Rihchen Empire reach a point of irreconcilable conflict, it is not impossible to extract the Power of Life Origin and return it to Rihchen. By then, if it is years later, the relocation of our clan will shake its origins.”

The Tianyang Spirit King’s eyes brightened, “I like your nature. Anticipating before the rain, planning for a thousand years ahead. Very well, I agree with your neutrality. But, getting Tianyu Empire to accept it won’t be easy.”
