Chapter 1792: Rebirth Tang San (Part 1)
Chapter 1792: Chapter 1792: Rebirth Tang San (Part 1)
"The development of the Divine Realm must not be rushed or hastened. It must be approached slowly and steadily. Our Divine Realm will temporarily go to the Douluo Federation to reside and accommodate the gods there. The Divine Realm you have created needs to exchange and share resources with our Divine Realm. If there are things you cannot decide, you may come for guidance. Our two Divine Realms should form a relationship for mutual watch and assistance."
"You have experienced so much and have seen the situation of the Deep Red Divine Field. The universe remains mysterious and vast to us. Even for God-king level powerhouses, we are still insignificant within the entire universe. Therefore, we must always uphold a sense of reverence toward the universe, prioritizing stability and avoiding rashness. Our two Divine Realms will watch over and assist each other, developing slowly. Though we may not last for eternity, stable development is certainly possible."
"Yes, Grandpa." Lan Xuanyu kept nodding. He knew that his grandfather’s teachings were crucial for establishing the Divine Realm.
The words of Tang San were heard by the God-level strong from the Dragon Clan, Sky Horse Clan, and all the Ultra God-level powerhouses of the Dragon Horse Federation. Naturally, their hearts were filled with joy. A Divine Realm that belonged to them, built on the foundation of the Dragon Horse Federation, where these powerhouses could join and become true gods, free from the concerns of lifespan—what could be more exhilarating than this?
Though the migration of the Double Stars of Dragon Horse might still be a rather troublesome matter, it aligned with the interests of all races. More importantly, the establishment of the Dragon Horse Federation’s Divine Realm provided an ascension path for all races. When one’s strength is sufficient, one can become a god, enter the Divine Realm, and have the chance to exist enduringly. To the ordinary members of the various races, isn’t this a good thing?
Even after achieving the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm requires the power of faith from the galaxies it controls, and cultivating to God Rank will be much more challenging than before. However, they have already reached that level! As long as their descendants have opportunities in the future, that will be enough.
In fact, when they saw Lan Xuanyu become the Dragon God, they were somewhat apprehensive, even within the Dragon Clan. The true high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Knights, knew Lan Xuanyu was, in fact, not purely of the Dragon Clan but a human. His heart would certainly still lean toward the Douluo Federation. None of them could say how this God King would decide, and at this moment, Tang San’s exhortations to Lan Xuanyu were like a reassurance to them.
They were about to truly have their own Divine Realm and become true gods!
Tang San showed a faint smile on his face, looking calmly at Lan Xuanyu and said, "Now that I have returned, our family is also reunited. It’s time for you to recognize your ancestors and return to your roots. I am very grateful to your father’s adoptive parents for raising him. I have already brought them to our Divine Realm by special means, where they live with the status of divine officers. Once you establish your own Divine Realm, you can also bring your adoptive parents there, granting them the level of divine officers, to accompany you enduringly. This is gratitude for their nurturing grace. Although we have become God Kings, even God Kings have emotions and selfish desires. Don’t be too concerned about this. As long as you have a clear conscience, it’s enough."
"Yes, Grandpa, I understand." Lan Xuanyu quickly nodded repeatedly.
Tang San smiled and said, "Furthermore, even in the Douluo Federation, if anyone is willing to go to your Divine Realm after becoming a god, we won’t stop them. You just need to inform our Council of the Divine Realm in advance. Our side of the Divine Realm is relatively full at the moment, with limited positions for gods."
Lan Xuanyu was delighted in his heart; although all God-level strong of the Dragon Horse Federation might follow him in the future, they aren’t truly his own confidants! If his comrades could be led to his Divine Realm once they become gods, at least he would have partners to consult. His dream was to have all the Thirty-Three Skywing reach the God Rank level and become a backbone of Shrek Academy. However, the development of the situation was too rapid, and even now, as he has become a God King, it still felt dreamlike.
"From now on, you will recognize your ancestors and change your surname to Tang. Your name will remain the same to honor your adoptive parents’ grace. You will be called Tang Xuanyu, okay?" Tang San said with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Lan Xuanyu understood Grandpa’s intention and immediately knelt down to Tang San. From this moment on, he truly returned to the Tang family and became Tang Xuanyu.
Previously, Tang Wulin once said that he would wait for Tang San’s return before allowing him to return. This was out of respect for his adoptive parents. Now with Tang San taking charge, everything naturally fell into place.
Tang San helped him up and looked at his handsome grandson with great satisfaction.
He beckoned to Bai Xiuxiu, who quickly came to Tang San and respectfully bowed, "Grandpa."
Tang San lifted her up, placed her hand into Tang Xuanyu’s, and smiled, "You’ve been through hardships and are deeply in love. Today, your grandfather will make the decision for you. From this moment on, you are officially husband and wife. You must support each other in the future and protect the Divine Realm together."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Tang Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu together bowed to Tang San.
Tang San slightly smiled and turned to Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, saying, "You two, come here."
Tang Wulin wiped the tears off his face and walked to his father, holding Gu Yuena’s hand.
Looking at his son and daughter-in-law, Tang San had a complex expression on his face, sighed lightly, and said: "It is because of us that you have endured so much pain over the years. Dad and Mom are sorry for you. But fortunately, the clouds have parted, and the moon is now visible. Your trials can serve as the God King’s test for the two God Kings of Life and Destruction. I promised them I would choose suitable successors, and I believe you are qualified. So I am passing these two important God King positions to you. After reaching the Divine Realm, you should first stabilize your godhood. If there’s anything you don’t understand, find your sister and brother-in-law, okay?"
"Dad, what about you?" Tang Wulin suddenly felt a strong sense of unease and asked somewhat anxiously.
Tang San smiled and said: "I have overseen the Divine Realm for so long, could I still manage it indefinitely? In fact, being a God King isn’t as joyful as one might think. Most of it involves repetitive and dull life.""
Hearing his words, many God Kings present nodded along, especially those who valued freedom.
Looking at the son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law.
Tang San held the hand of Tang Wutong beside him and smiled, "You little girl, be less capricious in the future, you know? Don’t always bully Yuhao."
Tang Wutong wiggled, "When did I bully him? Could he have cultivated to a God King if I bullied him? When did you start taking his side?"
Tang San smiled, "Yuhao’s kindness to you is evident. Honestly, every dad wants to frighten away boys who pursue his daughter. But once the daughter grows, there’s no way to hold her or ways to control her. You should give Yuhao an immediate addition."
Tang Wutong blushed but said nothing.
Tang San smiled, "You don’t have to worry about me. I said it; even if Xiao Wu went far, I would eventually bring her back. Without her, I cannot endure in the dull Divine Realm! Brother Changgong, I’m going to leave and entrust the Divine Realm to you. No one but you is fit to assume the position of the president of the Divine Realm committee."
Changgong Wei gave a wry smile, "You’ve talked about how dull being a God King is, yet you want to add more shackles to my dullness. How can you bear it? Moreover, do you really plan to leave? But that’s..."
Tang San unhesitatingly interrupted him and said, "This is my only hope, and I must go. There’s no need for you all to persuade me. Honestly speaking, the current situation is better than anticipated. Our family is reunited, and my children have been found. They all can stably live in the Divine Realm. My grandson has inherited a powerful God King position, leaving me with no worries. Now I can immediately go in search of my wife. This way, I will have a much larger chance of finding her. Otherwise, if I delay, the vast universe will make the chance too slim. Therefore, I must hurry now to find her. Brother Changgong, I entrust the Divine Realm to you and my family, and please take care of them. If I can one day bring Xiao Wu back, I will deeply express my gratitude."
Changgong Wei forced a smile, "Then if you return, you won’t be allowed to be lazy anymore. Don’t even think about letting any of us help you govern the Divine Realm."
Tang San laughed heartily, "Okay, if I come back, I’ll work harder."
Since he began talking about searching for his wife, his mood seemed to brighten, with a smile he couldn’t hide in his eyes.
"Dad, where exactly are you going to find Mom?" Tang Wutong couldn’t help but ask, "Wasn’t mother..."
Tang San shook his head, gazing into the distant sky, "Your mom became a star. She’s watching us from somewhere and I intend to find that star, find her and bring her back. No matter what form she takes or whether she remembers me, I will bring her back. I will, certainly."
"Grandpa, are you planning to be reborn?" At that moment, Tang Xuanyu asked suddenly, catching everyone present by surprise.
Tang San looked at Tang Xuanyu with astonishment, "How did you know I intend to be reborn?"
Tang Xuanyu looked at Tang San in shock, "But Grandpa, if you are reborn, you need to abandon everything now and become an ordinary person!"
Upon hearing this, both Tang Wutong and Tang Wulin’s expressions changed drastically.
What is rebirth? Only when one completely dies in this lifetime can there be a possibility of rebirth!
"Dad—" Tang Wutong cried out sorrowfully, grabbing Tang San’s arm, "I already don’t have a mother, how could you bear letting us be without a father too."
Tang San looked at his daughter somewhat helplessly, then looked at his grandson. He didn’t intend to say anything, not wanting his children to worry, but unexpectedly, it was revealed by his grandson.
"Xuanyu, how did you know my thoughts?" Tang San asked Lan Xuanyu curiously.
Tang Xuanyu replied, "When I was undergoing the God King’s trial before, the Dragon God also thought this way. The Dragon God’s death, the chaos in the Divine Realm of the Dragon God, was related to this."
"Oh? Could you tell us about it?" The gods originally from the Douluo Divine Realm were naturally very interested in the events of the past Divine Realm of the Dragon God.
"Hmm." Tang Xuanyu nodded, "The former Divine Realm was known as the Divine Realm of the Dragon God. The Dragon God took me into a virtual illusion for testing, saying that only by passing the test could I inherit his dragon godhood. The content he tested me on was to help the Divine Realm of the Dragon God pass through a crisis. When I woke up from the illusion, I found that I had become the Dragon God of that time, and the entire Divine Realm of the Dragon God was holding a grand ceremony to elevate the already powerful Divine Realm of the Dragon God, which wielded the power of faith from the Ten Great Star Systems, into a Divine Planet."
Hearing him say this, all the God Kings present couldn’t help but be shocked. Divine Planet, this name was far too familiar to them, and it was also the issue their current divine realm was facing. Although the present divine realm was not yet enough to achieve Divine Planet, it was their future goal!
"At that time, I thought, this is simply impossible! Even such a powerful Dragon God certainly hadn’t completed the evolution to Divine Planet, how could I possibly achieve it? At that time, I, myself, simply didn’t have the Dragon God’s Strength. Then, I witnessed a history that had once led to the collapse of the Divine Realm of the Dragon God..."
At this moment, Tang Xuanyu began recounting his experiences during the God King’s trial, telling the tragedy of the Dragon God.
When Tang San heard that the Dragon God wanted to achieve Divine Planet so his son could inherit and he could search for his own wife, his face couldn’t help but reveal a look of shock. It turned out he wasn’t the first to have such thoughts; the former Dragon God had thought similarly.
The tragedy of the Dragon Clan was extremely shocking to all the God Kings present. Such a powerful Divine Realm of the Dragon God! Having eighteen God-King-level Powerhouses, along with the Dragon God as the Supreme God King, yet still in opposition to the Cosmic Laws ultimately fell into ruin, leading to the collapse of the entire divine realm. Even the later Douluo Divine Realm being swept away by spatial turbulence was likely a continuous harm brought by the Cosmic Laws.
"... I pushed away the Dragon Clan Prince, would rather let the elevation to Divine Planet fail, but at least keep the Divine Realm of the Dragon God intact. If Divine Planet didn’t succeed, the worst would just be me as the Dragon God suffering backlash, certainly not leading to the collapse of the whole Divine Realm of the Dragon God..." Tang Xuanyu continued recounting his process during the trial. All the God Kings were captivated by his story, gradually understanding the state he was in when resisting them.
"... At the last moment, I only felt the pressure was too intense, but it was precisely at that time that my mind was particularly clear, things I thought about before were becoming extra clear. Suddenly, I thought of a possibility, and then..."
Just as Tang Xuanyu said this, suddenly, the entire universe twisted violently, and then, a red lightning silently appeared on his forehead. Tang Xuanyu only felt the dragon power within him crazily surging, accumulating energy towards that lightning, and the moment the lightning appeared, all the God Kings present had a tingling sensation. The Dragon God Spear in Tang Xuanyu’s hand instantly turned into the same red color as the lightning.
This is...
"Don’t say it out loud." Tang San shouted instantly, stopping Lan Xuanyu from continuing.
Lan Xuanyu also realized something and instantly stopped speaking, while showing a look of pain.
At this time, all the God Kings had a terrifying feeling in their hearts because when the red electric glow and the red on the Dragon God Spear appeared, they had a feeling of being on the brink of destruction. This feeling was too horrifying. Even as God Kings, they had the feeling of their most vulnerable state being exposed to the punishment of the laws.
Lan Xuanyu ultimately didn’t say those words "I am Law Enforcement." The red electric glow on him also gradually faded away.
At this moment, his face was pale, and in that instant, he felt many things. That red lightning was not trying to destroy him but was conveying an aura of majesty. It even formed a thought in his consciousness.
Only those who have completely turned to dust could hear those four words. Once he utters those four words, then all the God Kings present must kill.
Cannot speak; it turns out it’s unspeakable.
"Don’t say anything." As the red electric glow faded, Tang San, still with lingering fear, looked at Tang Xuanyu. He couldn’t have imagined that the God King trial his grandson faced would be like this, and that he could actually pass it.
Although Tang Xuanyu couldn’t say how he passed, from his ability to smoothly inherit the Dragon God’s godhood, it was clear he must have used a special method to overcome the oppression of the law of the universe, and was even recognized by the law of the universe.
At this moment, the gazes of the God Kings at Tang Xuanyu had all changed.
Despite the fact that Tang Xuanyu showed incredibly strong powers after inheriting the Dragon God’s godhood, he still appeared as a junior in their eyes. Currently, Tang Xuanyu had not fully inherited the strength of the Dragon God and needed time to understand and feel it, gradually accepting it.
However, after listening to his recent account, the God Kings’ understanding of him reached another level. Could this child have found a way to achieve the Divine Planet?
So many of them as God Kings had not found it. The once powerful Realm of the Dragon God collapsed in the process of achieving the Divine Planet. And he found it? What this means, they couldn’t be clearer. The Divine Planet, that is truly the universe’s invincible pass!
Tang San took a deep breath and continued, "Everyone. Xuanyu can’t say a word, and I hope you won’t ask anything. When his Divine Realm is completely established, our two Divine Realms will surely support each other. We are still on our Divine Realm, and his parents are here too. So, all of you can rest assured. Perhaps in the future, when he truly becomes the Supreme God King, we will really have a chance. But just like I told Brother Changgong before, we are back now, and what we need now is stability. Stable consolidation of the Divine Realm and completing the control of the Galaxy on the Douluo Federation side, as well as more distant galaxies, is the best way for us to take root and stabilize the Divine Realm. Our Divine Realm is actually still riddled with holes, having gone through the torrents of time and space, black holes, and multiple blows from the Divine Realm’s fusion, so we need time to repair and consolidate it. This requires all our gods to work together with one heart."
Changgong Wei came to his side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Unexpectedly, I could see the hope of achieving the Divine Planet. Brother Tang, you don’t have to worry, everything will be on the right track with me here. But, have you really decided?"
Tang San nodded without hesitation, saying, "The loss of one God King in the Divine Realm doesn’t matter, but if it loses me, it loses everything, and the same goes for me. Without her, even if I could achieve the Divine Planet, what meaning would it have for me? I believe that after passing on the godhood of the Dragon God to Xuanyu, the Dragon God will certainly do the same thing I am doing. We are both walking the same path. He has been separated from his wife for so many years, yet he still has the assurance to search for her. Why can’t I have this courage? Even though he is the Supreme God King, and I have not reached his level, I have better timing. So, no one should stop me, and no one can stop me. I made up my mind before I returned. Wherever she is, that’s where I will go. I must find her."
"Dad, but I can’t bear to let you go!" Tang Wutong rushed into Tang San’s arms, her eyes brimming with tears.
Tang San sighed softly, stroking his daughter’s long hair, "Silly child, you still have Yuhao! Daddy can’t live without Mommy! You can’t be selfish. Daddy also has the right to pursue his own happiness. If I stay because of you, I will be unhappy for countless years to come and will live in sadness and longing, then what would be the meaning of my life? Let me go; I will come back, I promise, I will surely bring back your mother."
"Your mother, who once wielded the power of the God King, will definitely reincarnate. The only difference is that after reincarnation, she will become another person and will not remember her past. But we’ve been together for so many years; her divine consciousness mark is exceedingly clear to me. I am pretty confident in reincarnating to where she reincarnates. Moreover, I can be certain she will definitely still reincarnate as a human, albeit in humans from different galaxies or even different planes. My reincarnation is different from hers as I will do it proactively; I still have God-King-level abilities, and I will sacrifice all my divine power to search for her, not only to find her but also to carry my memories of this life. Don’t you believe in Daddy?"
"Let Dad go." Dai Yuhao pulled Tang Wutong into his arms, softly saying, "If one day, if it’s you leaving, I would also go looking for you like Dad. In lifetime after lifetime, wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be. So we all need to understand Dad’s feelings. Only by doing this will he be happy, and he can find Mom back."
Tang Wutong did not answer but just cried bitterly in her husband’s embrace.
Tang San shook his head somewhat helplessly, looking at Tang Wulin, Tang Xuanyu, "You two, don’t cry. I’ve already arranged everything that needs arranging. Wulin, you will assist Brother Changgong with connecting Soul Land to the Divine Realm; your brother-in-law is also familiar with things over there. You don’t need to be sad; for the Divine Realm, it may truly be just a few years before your mother and I can return, right? Let’s leave it at that."
As he spoke, the Sea God’s Trident in his hand floated towards Tang Wulin. He lifted his head, looking into the sky, looking at those stars.
"Xiao Wu, don’t walk too fast, wait for me. I’m coming to find you. I must find you quickly!"
