Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Cheng Zicheng immediately gathered her wings and beat them in the opposite direction, using the change in airflow to control the ice boat to a halt.

With the cessation of the singing, the suction force from the ground had also vanished by this time.

"What happened?" Du Bai asked.

Tang San did not answer; his gaze was somewhat grave at this moment.

Where did that voice just now come from?

It should be noted that he was not merely a being of Ninth Stage Spiritual Power; inside the core of his spiritual power, he was also nurturing divine consciousness. Yet, even so, he had no forewarning of the voice\'s sudden intrusion, which was truly terrifying.

How did this voice emerge exactly?

Taking a deep breath, Tang San released his spiritual power, sat cross-legged on the ice boat, and retraced the situation when that voice appeared, guiding his own thoughts to search for the source of the voice.

Very quickly, his gaze focused on his Storage Bracelet. Yes, that voice, it seemed as if it had come from within his Storage Bracelet.

Spiritual power pierced into the Storage Bracelet, and the stored items within quickly presented themselves in Tang San\'s spiritual probe.

He nearly instantly found the source of the voice.

Inside the spatial expanse of the Storage Bracelet, a silver radiance illuminated the entirety of its interior: the round silver egg with its strange patterns was emitting a faint glow. The voice seemed to be coming from within the egg.

When Tang San obtained this egg from the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, he had always been pondering what exactly it was. He had also carefully studied and investigated it but to no avail. His spiritual power could not probe inside it, and fearing that it might contain something left by the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, he did not dare use his divine consciousness to explore it.

Yet, in Hell\'s Garden, who would have thought that the egg would actually speak. This was simply inconceivable!

A sense of fear unconsciously enveloped his heart. If the egg bore a trace of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor\'s divine consciousness, then that would mean real trouble for him! Because that would imply that his every action was under the watchful eye of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. With his current rank, there was no way he could contend with a Great Demon Emperor!

"Go!"

Just at that moment, that thought came through again.

"Your Majesty?" Tang San tentatively transmitted his thoughts to the Crystal Egg with his spiritual power.

"This is just a remnant of my thoughts, you need not overthink it. The main purpose of the existence of this remnant is for the hatching of the egg. My remnant can sense the opportunity to hatch it; you must follow the guidance of my remnant. The moment the egg hatches, my remnant will naturally disappear."

As if understanding Tang San\'s concerns, the remnant of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor offered an answer.

Tang San\'s brows were tightly furrowed. Would it truly disappear along with the hatching of the egg? But what kind of life form was being nurtured within this egg? Once it hatched, would it bring an immediate cataclysmic disaster upon him?

Of course, he did not believe that he could solve all the problems by simply discarding the Crystal Egg. If that were the case, he feared that as soon as he left Hell\'s Garden, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor would appear before him and claim his life.

```

Facing this unparalleled powerhouse, he had no prospect of resistance at the moment. What to do seemed obvious. If he couldn\'t refuse, he had to comply and take it one step at a time.

In front of a being that had just hatched from an egg, no matter how strong, it could not possibly be stronger than himself, who was endowed with divine consciousness, right?

Moreover, judging by the two tokens that the Crystal Great Demon Emperor initially gave him, it didn\'t seem the Emperor intended to take his life. Simultaneously, if the Crystal Egg was to complete its hatching or partially hatch, and it contained the remnants of the Great Demon Emperor\'s thoughts, it would mean that it should still protect his safety.

Tang San stood up, turned to his companions, and asked, "I have a special feeling, do you trust me?"

"We trust you," Du Bai was the first to reply, his trust in Tang San was unconditional. It was an innate trust, without Tang San, he would probably still be stuck below the Third Stage.

Wu Bingji said, "Of course we trust you. Without you, we wouldn\'t have come this far. Without you, if we had gone to the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, we would have likely died there long ago. Tell us, Tang San, what do you think?"

Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng also nodded repeatedly, they had never seen Tang San this solemn before.

Tang San said gravely, "I feel that there is something unusual about this place. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to explore. I haven\'t told you something before; when I was at the Crystal Sacred Mountain, I actually reached the summit and met the Crystal Great Demon Emperor."

"Ah?" Gu Li looked at him in shock, knowing full well how difficult it was to climb that mountain, and what challenges one would face.

Tang San nodded at him and continued, "I climbed to the peak and met the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, who recognized me and gave me badges of his acknowledgement. He gave me two tokens, one is the Crystal Mirror representing him, and the other is..."

As he spoke, a flash of light from his Storage Bracelet brought the silver-glowing Crystal Egg into his hand.

The silver Crystal Egg shone with a faint light. Tang San held it in both hands, which seemed to be stimulated by the Space of Hell\'s Garden, causing the silver light on the Crystal Egg to be much more pronounced than outside.

"The Crystal Great Demon Emperor tasked me to protect this egg and help it hatch. Just now, I felt its will coming through. In Hell\'s Garden, there seems to be a chance for it to hatch." He didn\'t mention the residuals of the Great Demon Emperor\'s thoughts in the egg, fearing it might frighten his companions.

"So, you plan to hatch it?" Wu Bingji asked quietly.

Tang San nodded and said, "It\'s the Crystal Great Demon Emperor\'s entrustment." As he said this, he deliberately emphasized his tone.

The group exchanged glances, clearly understanding his implication.

"Then let\'s go," Wu Bingji said without hesitation. "We can\'t split up, we must stick together, and we\'ll do as you say."

After a moment of silence, Tang San earnestly replied, "Big brother, thank you for your trust. Rest assured, I will protect everyone and ensure our safe departure from here at all costs."

Wu Bingji smiled slightly and said, "What is there to worry about? It\'s always been you who are considerate of us. We are one, and mutual trust is the foundation of everything. Since we\'re going, let\'s not waste time."

"Great! Then let\'s change direction. Let\'s go!"

Guided by Tang San, the Ice boat set sail once more, this time heading straight in the direction of the Misfortune Ripple Tang San had sensed earlier.

Tang San did not put the Crystal Egg back, but held it in his hand. You want to guide me? Then guide me well.

The battle with the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had forced him to reveal nearly all his trump cards, apart from the Heavenly Fox Transformation and his divine consciousness. That was the biggest problem Tang San faced at the time. However, the demeanor of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor suggested genuine recognition of him. This Crystal Egg might be a test, a risk, or an opportunity. He could only take it one step at a time.

If the residual will of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor was guiding him to that place, it meant that the Emperor should ensure their safety. If he couldn\'t guarantee his own safety, how could he leave Hell\'s Garden with this egg, whether hatched or still unable to hatch?
