Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

She had immense talent and great strength, and now she was proving that all her abilities were at that level. Obviously, no one was going to believe that. This was clearly not just her own ability; there was an expert guiding her from behind. Even so, being able to attract such a supporter also spoke volumes about her capabilities.

But although everything was now mostly sorted out, and there were no major issues, when Tang San truly left for seclusion, Mei Gongzi still felt an indescribable discomfort. Only when he was by her side did she feel at her best—secure in her heart and grounded in her steps.

So, after a night of contemplation, she had decided that she had to go find him. She really couldn't bear not seeing him for a long time. It turned out that, before she even knew it, he already had an unshakeable place in her heart.

This feeling was wonderful; having someone to care about was definitely a blessing. Was it a destined connection from a previous life? Whether that was the case or not, she didn’t care. And since things were heading in that direction anyway, she saw no reason to fight it; it was best to just enjoy it.

With that in mind, she took the initiative to find the queen consort and expressed her hope that she could step in to help govern Kali City. She herself needed to enter seclusion to cultivate in preparation for her upcoming report to the Ancestral Court.

For Kali City, Mei Gongzi's report was a very important matter. If she succeeded in her report, it would ensure that the Peacock Demon clan could continue ruling Kali City. Otherwise, if the Ancestral Court reclaimed the position of city lord, it would cause major problems for Kali City. Who could the Peacock Demon clan choose to replace her as city lord? And would they even be allowed to choose someone else? Without an Emperor, they would have no standing in the Ancestral Court.

Therefore, the queen consort agreed and was quite satisfied with this "daughter" who shared her bloodline. In just over a month, Mei Gongzi had stabilized the situation in Kali City without becoming blindly optimistic due to gaining power. She knew what was fundamental and most important, which was the basis of being a wise ruler.

They thus agreed that Mei Gongzi would work on Kali City's affairs for four days each week and spend three days in seclusion for cultivation. If there weren’t many things to do in the office, she could stay in seclusion longer.

After taking care of everything, Mei Gongzi couldn't wait any longer and immediately sent a message to Tang San.

The phrase "a day apart feels like three autumns" couldn't have described their current state any better. The brief separation had completely opened the emotional barriers between them, especially for Mei Gongzi.

As he embraced her soft body, Tang San's eyes were filled with happiness, and the conviction in his heart was rapidly growing stronger.

With her by his side, he had the confidence to overcome any challenge or obstacle. There was still nearly a year before he had to report to the Ancestral Court. What could be more wonderful than being able to spend this time with her?

"Let's go, I'll show you my place," Tang San whispered softly in her ear. The next moment, a silver light flickered, and the teleportation aura underfoot lit up, taking Mei Gongzi with him as they teleported away.

After two teleportations, they arrived within the range of Golden Valley. Tang San had a teleportation array connected to Golden Valley, and that allowed them to teleport directly inside without passing through the illusion array.

A dense aura of life instantly enveloped Mei Gongzi, filling her with warmth. An indescribable sense of comfort spread through her limbs and bones, causing her to widen her eyes in amazement.

She didn't really know much about Golden Valley; she had only heard Tang San mention it once before. It was only now, seeing it for herself, that she realized what a true paradise this place was.

The sunlight turned into golden beams, penetrating the thick layers of mist to illuminate the enormous tree that shimmered with a faint golden halo. The dense aura of life emanated from it, permeating every corner of the valley.

The vegetation in the valley was clearly more lush than that outside, and the rich aura of life was intoxicating. The fragrance of flowers, fruits, and the fresh scent of plants blended into a vibrant aroma that lingered in the air.

"This place is so beautiful!" Mei Gongzi exclaimed sincerely.

Tang San pointed to the Golden Tree and said, "That's where I cultivate. I nurtured this Golden Tree, and I merged it with a spirit essence I bought at an auction. Now that it’s sentient, it grows far faster. Right now, it's more or less equivalent to a ninth-order demonic beast, and once I become a god, I'll find a way to help it break through as well. By then, the life aura it can generate will be even greater, which will benefit the entire mountain range. The Kali Mountains are the backyard of Kali City, after all.

"In the future, once the Golden Tree is strong enough, I plan to open a path from Kali City that extends directly to this area. I'll use this valley as the center to build a large city for humans. By then, I should also have the ability to teach humans some cultivation techniques so we won't have to rely on bloodline power from demons and nymphs. We'll slowly gain the power to protect ourselves. Although the evolution of a race is a very long process, I believe that one day, with our human intelligence and wisdom, we will definitely become the rulers of this world."

As she listened to his words and looked at his face, Mei Gongzi couldn't help but see him glowing with a radiant light.

"Perhaps you are the savior that heaven has bestowed upon the humans of Falan Planet," Mei Gongzi said softly.

Although she was now a Saintess of the Redemption Society, she knew very well that neither she nor the other high-ranking members of the Redemption Society had any true plans for the future. All of their plans were based on the current situation; they were simply thinking of having humans intermarry with some demon and nymph clans in order to acquire more powerful bloodlines.

Unfortunately, that path was entirely dependent on said demon and nymph clans. Whether they were willing to actually intermarry with humans rather than violate them and cast them aside or simply kill them was completely up to them. Moreover, how powerful could these bloodlines be? Apart from extremely rare cases like Mei Gongzi’s, humans had a diluted bloodline by default. They could never truly match the power of the actual demons and nymphs.

But what Tang San spoke of was something else entirely. He had mapped out a future for humanity, and although it sounded grand, Mei Gongzi knew him and now believed in his former identity as a God King, so she believed that this was achievable. And if that was the case, humanity would finally have a real chance to rise.

"No, it's not me. The true savior of this world is you. Without you, I wouldn't have come here at all. It was you who guided me here, so it's you who saved this world," Tang San said with a smile.

Mei Gongzi rolled her eyes at him and replied with mock annoyance, "Since when did you become so good at sweet-talking?"

"I've always been able to, but only for you. I just didn't dare to do it before, because I was afraid you'd beat me up!"

Suddenly, Mei Gongzi seemed to think of something and furrowed her brow. "If you really try to establish a major city for humans, will the Ancestral Court agree? The Ancestral Court has always been suppressing humans."

Tang San replied, "Of course, they won't agree, but by the time I start building this city, it won't matter whether they agree. By then, I will surely have the strength to protect the city. As long as I can break through to godhood, none of this will be an issue."

Mei Gongzi looked up at him, seeing the determination in his eyes but still feeling some concern. "You said your tribulation will be harder than mine. What will you do then? Can you get through it?"

"No worries, I'll be fully prepared. And when the time comes, it won't just be about surviving the tribulation for me. I'll also use the heavenly energy that comes with it to do other things. Helping humanity rise isn't something simple. It’s not just helping humans cultivate; we have to stop many practices, and we have to undo ways of thinking, and that will not be easy. So the time ahead is crucial—I must build up my cultivation and prepare everything thoroughly."
