Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The five of them quickly gathered around him, looking at the map in front of them.

"North on top, south below, west on the left, east on the right," Zhang Haoxuan pointed out the directions to facilitate everyone\'s understanding.

"In the history of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, powerful beings abound. But even for Great Demon Emperors, immortality is not absolute. The oldest known Great Demon Emperor lived more than three thousand years, which seems to be the limit. And there are not a few who have fallen at a younger age due to frequent conflicts."

Upon hearing this, Tang San understood that even powerhouses like Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors could fall, and it had a lot to do with the fabric of this plane itself.

Without ascending to the Divine Realm, all is vain.

Undoubtedly, Falan Planet, even among all the planets Tang San, who once was a Godking, had seen, was the most rich and fertile. Its vastness and the abundance of its resources would inevitably give rise to all kinds of powerful creatures.

From what could be seen, the Monster and Spirit Clans held the dominant position on this plane, but he was certain that there must be many other races on this planet. However, no matter what race it was, immortality was impossible on this planet.

Even the most prosperous planet is still a planet, not the Divine Realm; it\'s merely a three-dimensional space. Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors, no matter how strong, without the nurture of the immortal aura of the Divine Realm and the nurturing of the Position of God Scolding, immortality was out of the question. A few thousand years of life was already the end of the road.

Zhang Haoxuan continued, "The world of the Monster and Spirit Clans is very pragmatic—only current Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors are eligible to establish their palaces in the Ancestral Court. The palaces of deceased Heavenly Spirit Emperors and Great Demon Emperors, if there is no successor within their own clan, must be handed over to newcomers. Therefore, the palaces within Ancestral Court are always undergoing change."

"What doesn\'t stop changing is, if you look at the Holy Mountain around the map. The number of Thrones on the Holy Mountain far exceeds the number of palaces within Ancestral Court. This is because any Great Demon Emperor or Heavenly Spirit Emperor who has ever existed is eligible to establish their throne on the Holy Mountain, to exist for all eternity."

"Let\'s not talk about how many Thrones there are on the Holy Mountain for now. Let\'s talk about the existing palaces in the Ancestral Court. Currently, there are a total of fifteen palaces, and there are sixteen existing Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors. The one who had previously visited Jiali City is the newly advanced Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. Since he has just been promoted, he hasn\'t had the time to build his own palace. He was badly injured in the fight against the Peacock Demon King and probably won\'t be in the mood to establish a palace for a while."

"All the major cities are basically related to the industries of the Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors, which is why the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor wanted to seize Jiali City. Even for these top beings, cultivation still requires a tremendous amount of resources. Although Jiali City is remote and not very rich in resources, it is very wealthy because it has both the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast and Golden Deer Demon lineages. Naturally, As far as the Ancestral Court is concerned, they turned a blind eye to this."

"Today, I will give you a detailed account of the sixteen existing Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors. You must remember them well, as this will be very important for you," Zhang Haoxuan said.

"First, let\'s start with the Monster Clan. With the inclusion of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, there are a total of nine Great Demon Emperors. Some you know of, and some you don\'t. The number one Great Demon Emperor is called the Crystal Great Demon Emperor."

Upon hearing this rather ordinary name, the five people including Tang San were somewhat surprised. In their impression, this name had never come up before and wasn\'t nearly as renowned as the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.

"The Crystal Great Demon Emperor is currently recognized as the strongest among both the Monster and Fairy Clans, having lived for over two thousand years. Even in the council, his appearances are rare. He is a Crystal Dragon who achieved his status through cultivation. He is hailed as Almighty. He comes from a special bloodline variation of the Dragon Clan, has no gender, and cannot pass on his lineage. He is a unique being. The lineage of Crystal Dragons began with him, and it\'s very possible that it will end with him too, somewhat like the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King. However, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor might be even stronger. His bloodline talent is duplication, able to copy any ability, strong or weak. Thus, he is known as Almighty. There\'s a legend that says even if all other Great Demon Emperors joined forces, at most they could defeat him, but it would be impossible to kill him. This unique existence has always stood at the very pinnacle of Demon Monster Land for a full two thousand years," Zhang Haoxuan explained.

Almighty Crystal Great Demon Emperor!

Listening to Zhang Haoxuan\'s narration, everyone except Tang San felt a tightening in their hearts. How powerful must one be to earn such a terrifying reputation!

Zhang Haoxuan continued, "Among the nine Great Demon Emperors, the second-ranked is one you have heard of more often. He controls Luck, is the Dominator of Luck, the Child of Destiny, the prophet of both Monster and Fairy Clans, the great Prophet, a wise one whose words manifest into laws, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox!"

"In the overall rankings of the Monster and Fairy Clans, it ranks third, even below the first-ranked Heavenly Spirit Emperor of the Spirit Clan. But on the Monster Clan side, it is ranked second, and its fame is actually more notable than that of the very low profile Crystal Great Demon Emperor. In terms of power, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox can even be said to be the strongest existence among both Monster and Fairy Clans. The Luck it controls is coveted by all other Great Demon Emperors and the Heavenly Spirit Emperor. Therefore, it also has the best relationships; no being wishes to offend it."

As Zhang Haoxuan narrated, Du Bai couldn\'t help but clench his fists, with a glimmer appearing in his eyes.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox is thus known as the Dominator of Fate. Legend has it that it governs the fate of the entire Demon Monster Land, and as long as it exists, the Monster and Fairy Clans will possess the greatest Luck, always dominating the entire plane."

"What if it died?" Gu Li blurted out.

Before Zhang Haoxuan could reply, Tang San said with a strange look, "If that were to happen, perhaps our chance as humans would come."

Gu Li asked what would happen if the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the Dominator of Fate, died. Tang San answered him, perhaps in that case, the chance for humans would come.

As soon as these words were uttered, the room fell silent.

Du Bai couldn\'t help asking, "The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox must have a successor, right?"

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Yes, there will be one. Perhaps because it dominates fate, the life spans of the Heavenly Fox Lineage of Great Demon Emperors are not long. The previous Heavenly Fox Great Demon Emperors could only live to around five hundred years old before they would fall, replaced by a new generation of Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. However, according to legends, the lineage of the Heavenly Fox Great Demon Emperors has always been passed down, with a new generation appearing after the death of the old one."

Tang San silently listened, not saying anything, but his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "I\'ll continue. The third-ranked Great Demon Emperor is called Undying. The Undying Great Demon Emperor. It is also the longest living being among the Monster and Fairy Clans, having lived for over three thousand years. Its race is the Immortal Phoenix. The Phoenix Tribe has always been a very powerful presence, and the Immortal Phoenix is the royalty of the Phoenix Tribe. Their most powerful bloodline talent is Nirvana. Legends say that once an Immortal Phoenix breaks through to beyond deity level, they have nine lives and only after nine Nirvanas they will truly die. With each Nirvana, they become even stronger. This Undying Great Demon Emperor is also a very low-profile figure, and it is unknown how much difference there is between its true battle power and that of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. The title of the Undying Great Demon Emperor is Eternal Heaven Burning, and its Heaven Burning Flame is also known as the strongest flame."

Eternal Heaven Burning, the Undying Great Demon Emperor!

This section took me a long time to write because it plays a very important role in bridging previous and forthcoming parts. The rise of humans against the powerful Monster and Spirit Clans certainly cannot be achieved overnight. Next, we will enter into the Ancestral Court storyline, where the story of Ancestral Court will unveil the true face of Demon Monster Land. Let\'s begin with the introduction of the nine Great Demon Emperors and the seven Heavenly Spirit Emperors. As for Pretty Girl, don\'t worry, when Tang San has prepared all sorts of gifts for her, she will come back. Thank you all for your support.
