Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

```

At this moment, the Peacock Demon King's divine consciousness had completely sunk into Xiao He's body. The trembling in Xiao He's body also gradually ceased.

Meanwhile, Tang San's gaze was exceedingly focused, even somewhat tense. This was because the final step was the most crucial one. That was the true fusion of divine consciousness with the body. Only if the body accepted the divine consciousness and the divine consciousness took control of the body, would this rebirth be truly complete.

This step required a bit of luck. It all depended on the Peacock Demon King's own will.

The glow slowly receded, and the light from the magic array on the ground gradually faded away, leaving Xiao He's body completely at peace.

Tang San didn't exert any more power and took back the Time-Space Tower.

But he sat down beside the Peacock Demon King and gestured to the White Tiger Great Demon King and Pretty Girl to be silent.

"Wang Qing, can you hear me? Wang Qing," Tang San softly called out.

Xiao He's body showed no response.

Tang San continued, "Wang Qing, wake up quickly. Otherwise, your daughter won't recognize you."

There was still no response from Xiao He's body. Although his face had not regained its normal color, and even though his vital signs were normal, there was no sign of awakening.

Tang San didn't stop, he sighed, and each of his sentences was accompanied by a ripple of divine consciousness.

"Wang Qing, the princess is going to remarry. She's marrying the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao He, who had been extremely calm, suddenly shook violently, and the next instant, his eyes flew open!

Hearing Tang San's words, even the White Tiger Great Demon King's mouth twitched, and Pretty Girl was utterly dumbfounded.

The reaction from Xiao He at this moment also took them by surprise. Had he woken up?

Xiao He, lying there, widened his eyes, and his whole person seemed to be in a state of semi-chaos.

Tang San softly said, "You are Wang Qing, and you are also Xiao He. Isn't it time to return to your soul?"

As he spoke, he pointed his right hand down, and a speck of golden light fell into Xiao He's brow. Suddenly, Xiao He's body shook violently, and then his whole body emitted a strange luminescence, from head to toe, enveloped in golden light.

"Huh—" He suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air and then abruptly sat up.

He did not move at first, as if frozen in place, and it was only after more than ten seconds that he slowly turned his head, looking at Tang San by his side. His eyes were still somewhat puzzled, but he was already muttering to himself.

"Impossible, she won't marry someone else. She won't."

Tang San gave a slight smile and said, "Is it done? City Lord?"

Xiao He shuddered all over, and his gaze towards Tang San gradually focused, "You, you are…"

Tang San nodded at him and said, "I am Asura, and also Tang San."

"Dad." At this moment, Pretty Girl had already rushed over like a bolt of lightning, standing by his side, looking at this man whose face was unfamiliar but whose eyes seemed hauntingly familiar, and called out with a trembling voice.

Xiao He's entire body shook again as he looked at Pretty Girl. For a moment, his gaze grew complex, "Little Beauty, are you, are you Little Beauty? Didn't I already die? What's going on? And where am I now?"

Pretty Girl's eyes immediately filled with tears. How could her emotions not be a whirlwind of complexity? She wanted to throw herself into the arms of the reborn Great Peacock Demon, but restrained herself at the sight of that unfamiliar face.

"Yes! I'm Little Beauty, it was Tang San who resurrected you. You've come back to life."

By this time, the Peacock Demon King had fully regained his consciousness. He lowered his head to look at his body, subconsciously touching his face, feeling the warmth of his flesh and the gradually gathering consciousness. Resurrection, was he actually resurrected?

But he quickly noticed something amiss. When he used his consciousness to sense his body, he found it hollow, completely devoid of his once powerful bloodline power. Even his divine consciousness seemed to be only a mere fragment of what it had once been.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" the Peacock Demon King asked, looking from Pretty Girl to Tang San, unable to help himself.

"You've just been resurrected, and your divine soul is still somewhat unstable. It's best to rest a bit before discussing this further," said the White Tiger Great Demon King, who had already approached and, after a brief sensing, confirmed the current state of the Peacock Demon King.

Seeing him, the Peacock Demon King's eyes widened in shock. "Your Excellency White Tiger. I've seen Your Excellency White Tiger."

The White Tiger Great Demon King stared intensely at him, "You plotted against my daughter, you plotted against my granddaughter. I'll settle this account with you later. Wang Qing, make sure you remember this."

The expression on the Peacock Demon King's face suddenly stiffened. Indeed! He now remembered everything that had happened before his death and was at a loss for words to explain himself.

"First meditate for a while, to stabilize your divine soul. Your previous body had collapsed, so I used another body to resurrect you. I fused your divine consciousness into this new body. However, due to the strength of your divine consciousness, I placed it under a seal. As your power recovers, your divine consciousness will gradually be released. Only after you undergo Tribulation again, can you achieve Soul Fusion, and fully restore your original divine consciousness," Tang San explained.

The Peacock Demon King nodded, giving Tang San a deep look, and simply said, "Thank you."

Tang San just shook his head.

With the White Tiger Great Demon King and Pretty Girl by his side, Wang Qing, or rather Xiao He, didn't know how to face them. Perhaps, meditation was indeed the best approach.

Thereupon, he sat down cross-legged, gathered his spirit within, and began to meditate.

Although his physical capabilities were gone, the experience in meditation still belonged to the Peacock Demon King. He invoked his mental will to merge with his body, quietly feeling his own changes, and at the same time, stabilizing his divine consciousness.

Tang San raised his hand and set up a Silence Barrier around him, then approached the White Tiger Great Demon King and Pretty Girl.

"Mission accomplished. It was a success," he said to Pretty Girl with a grin.

Pretty Girl, looking at him, had disbelief still lingering in her beautiful eyes. Resurrected, her father was actually resurrected. Anything else might be fake, but those eyes she knew too well. They were unmistakably her father's! Although he didn't seem to have regained his former composure, without a doubt, it was him.

"What's his current state approximately?" asked the White Tiger Great Demon King curiously. Even he had never seen such a situation before. He was convinced that not even the rebirth ability of the Undying Great Demon Emperor could affect other living beings, it could only be used on oneself. But what Tang San did was akin to reviving with retained divine consciousness in a new body, which was definitely miraculous.

The reason Tang San could resurrect the Peacock Demon King was, firstly, because the Peacock Demon King's divine consciousness intensity was sufficient and had been preserved immediately. There was also the Time-space marker, a powerful divine tool capable of distorting Time and Space. The divine consciousness of the Peacock Demon King was no different from just after his death. Coupled with a suitable body and the authority of a Divine Seat, a combination of many abilities enabled the successful resurrection of Wang Qing.

Tang San said, "Housing his divine consciousness in a human body is relatively difficult, which is why I applied Nine Seals to his divine consciousness, with each subsequent seal sealing more consciousness. Now only a trace is left to keep him coherent, which also allows him to retain his memory and sanity. I've cleansed this body with my power. Although it is a human body, in terms of talent and potential, it surely surpasses his previous one. However, this is after all a fusion of divine consciousness with an entirely new body, so there will be some issues. It is difficult for the divine consciousness to mesh as perfectly with the body as if it were innate. Thus, even if he grows strong in the future, there will be a limit. At least, he cannot leave this plane. Otherwise, an unstable divine consciousness could cause the body to collapse. But restoring his former cultivation base shouldn't be a problem. After all, he has such a profound foundation. Plus, the potential of this body."
