Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Su Qin said, "The fact is as such."

The Peacock Demon King sighed and said, "Yes, that\'s why I like you. You\'ve never concealed anything from us, yet even knowing your purpose, we can\'t help but fall in love with you."

Su Qin spoke indifferently, "That\'s because, in your subconscious, you\'ve assumed that humans, even with some help from you, could not possibly rise to prominence."

The Peacock Demon King said, "That\'s inevitable. After all, compared to us, humans are truly insignificant. Even if they inherit our bloodline power, they are still influenced by their human bloodline. A mixed-blood can never become a top-tier powerhouse. But I understand you, striving to ensure a better survival for your race. Helping you isn\'t a big deal for me, I can appreciate the beauty of humans, and naturally, I don\'t have any aversion to them. In this respect, Lin Ximo is similar, at least he\'s also indifferent. That\'s why you were with him initially."

As it spoke, its voice became even more gentle, and it slowly stood up, approached Su Qin, gently caressing her cheek that bore not a trace of aging, and said softly, "In fact, I know that the pain we bear is nothing compared to yours. Although you had a purpose, you truly loved him with all your heart when you were with him, struggling for your race while loving a monster deemed cruel by humanity. The greatest burden is on your heart."

"Can you stop talking?" Su Qin said coldly.

The Peacock Demon King let out a light sigh and said, "Let me speak. Because if I don\'t say it now, I\'m afraid I\'ll never have the chance to say it again. I might be dying."

Su Qin\'s body shook violently, and she suddenly looked up at him.

The Peacock Demon King, however, smiled and said, "Haha, I\'m so happy to see such a reaction from you. I can finally confirm that your heart is with me. Do you know how happy I am? Not because I won against that guy Lin Ximo, but because we can finally be of one heart and mind."

"Are you lying to me?" Su Qin asked, her lips pursed, as if a glimmer of tears shimmered in her eyes.

The Peacock Demon King shook his head and said, "No, just as you have always been honest with me, how could I possibly lie to you? I am telling the truth. To deal with him, I burned my golden crown, burned my ancestral luck. My origin is severely damaged, and my life will not last long."

Su Qin\'s body trembled slightly.

But the Peacock Demon King smiled and said, "It\'s nothing, this is perhaps the fate of our Peacock Demon Clan, never living past a hundred years. What can we do? But being truly loved by you makes all of this insignificant. Death is not to be feared, what\'s terrifying is not knowing why you die. I was actually afraid of dying at the hands of Lin Ximo, that\'s not the fate I wanted. He wants to kill me, but I especially don\'t want him to succeed; I\'m still as contrary as when I was young. But I can die for you. That\'s my choice. Luckily, that Sea God, who appeared out of nowhere and shouldn\'t exist, gave me a chance. Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you, was the Sea God a creation of your side? An illusion wrought by your salvation? Lin Ximo might not be aware, after all, his following is not as profound as the Peacock Demon Clan, but I am certain, there was no Sea God."

"The vastness of the Endless Blue Ocean far exceeds the Demon Monster Land, and the Ancestral Court has very detailed explorations of the Endless Blue Ocean. After three generations of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox\'s speculations, in the entire Falan, it\'s our Demon Monster Land that\'s the true core, the true locus of fortune. So, only our Monster and Fairy Clans could give rise to the existence of a Great Demon Emperor. The Sea Clan\'s limit is at the state of a Great Demon King. The Sea Clan itself must also have seers aware of this, so they have never dared contend against us. Where does this so-called Sea God come from?"

Su Qin looked at him, "You\'re going to die?"

The Peacock Demon King\'s ceaseless chatter stopped, and he gazed deeply at her before bowing his head to kiss her on the forehead, "Yes, I\'m going to die. The burning of my origin accelerates the passing of my life."

Su Qin lowered her head, "Don\'t die."

The Peacock Demon King embraced her in his arms, "I\'ve said it before, death isn\'t scary."

"Are you also going to rebel against me?" Su Qin said softly.

"No, I would rebel against anyone but never against you. However, having been the patriarch for so many years, I\'ve understood a lot. Moreover, I still have to fulfill the greatest expectation in your heart! If I cannot even accomplish that, how can I make you truly love me wholeheartedly? I don\'t want to be as foolish as Lin Ximo, finally obtaining your love only to harm you. What I want is to make it impossible for you to love anyone else in this lifetime, to leave the deepest impression in your heart. Don\'t worry, I won\'t die just yet, at least not before helping you achieve your dreams."

"You..."

Tang San still went to Jiali Academy because he couldn\'t stop worrying about Pretty Girl. Although it seemed that the people of the Ancestral Court had been taken away by the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. But who could be certain there were no hidden threats left behind?

So, he came after all, to Jiali Academy. But he did not find Pretty Girl. Neither could he ask anyone about her. He could only wait in silence.

For several days, Pretty Girl did not appear, as if vanished into thin air. This gave Tang San an increasingly unsettled feeling. Every day he cast Luck\'s blessing on himself, yet he still couldn\'t meet Pretty Girl.

His cultivation base and physical body had basically recovered, but his divine consciousness had weakened considerably. To return to its previous strength, a conservative estimate would be a year of continuous nurturing without using divine consciousness. Not yet at God Rank, the use of divine consciousness, especially so intensely, took too great a toll on him.

As he waited for Pretty Girl these days, he also began to study the bloodline of the Dark Crow Demon King Dai Yanning.

Dai Yanning, who he had forcefully devoured, turning into power to be guided by his divine consciousness, naturally left a Bloodline Brand within his body.

Because of the enormous expenditure at that time, this Bloodline Brand was not of God Level, but it was of the Ninth Stage. And since the origin was indeed of God Level, many of the divine mysteries within the bloodline could be sensed.

The Dark Crow Monster King, also known as the Blood-sucking Crow, had two innate abilities: to become fog and to suck blood. Wherever the Blood-sucking Crow\'s mist passed, living beings were offered as a blood sacrifice. It was a very tyrannical talent. By devouring other living beings\' blood, it could enhance its own life force for cultivation.

A newly born Blood-sucking Crow was only at the First Stage, but it could grow quickly by sucking blood. The Crow demons were not considered powerful among the Monster Race, and the Blood-sucking Crow was already a top-tier bloodline. There were no golden bloodlines among these weaker races; they did not have such qualifications. To some extent, the Blood-sucking Crow was akin to the royalty of their branch. Dark Crow Demon King Dai Yanning was one of the outstanding individuals among them.

Since Tang San had advanced to the Seventh Stage, he actually had one more vacancy to fuse with a Bloodline Brand. However, he wasn\'t fond of the Blood-sucking Crow\'s bloodline. His Mysterious Heaven Method could also devour bloodline power, a redundant ability. While the Blood-sucking Crow\'s ability to turn into mist to resist physical attacks was strong, Tang San didn\'t particularly like it. After all, he already possessed the powerful Space capability of the Peacock Transformation.
