Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Considering true strength, Big Cat was indeed no match for her now, and although Big Cat had held back somewhat, her victory was well deserved. The biggest benefit of Big Cat holding back was that it wouldn't affect their state in competing for the championship tomorrow.

Pretty Girl's victory today had undoubtedly made them the hottest favorites to win the championship again tomorrow.

Peacock Demon King used his space power to teleport away with the three of them. The Ancestral Court Grand Plaza was now impenetrable, with countless audiences wanting to get a closer look at the new champion's grace, especially since she was so beautiful. Teleporting away was the most prudent choice.

This time, the Peacock Demon King didn't take Pretty Girl directly back but instead sent them to the White Tiger Grand Hotel, and then left on his own, saying they should discuss tomorrow's doubles final tactics.

Big Cat, of course, tactfully left as well, saying that he would come back tomorrow to cheer them on in the final showdown.

Tang San took Pretty Girl back to the hotel, which was now nearly empty, and to their room.

Once the room door was closed, they faced each other. A faint flush still lingered on Pretty Girl's pretty face. Her eyes shimmered as she looked at Tang San in front of her, her emotions complex and impulsive.

However, when she saw the mask on his face, she managed to restrain herself a lot, "Brother, thank you. Without you, I couldn't have won the championship."

Tang San gently shook his head, "What thanks should you give me, this is the result of your own efforts. After the competition is over, we will return to Jiali City as soon as possible." As he spoke, he led her to the living room, where they sat down.

The excitement in Pretty Girl's heart gradually calmed down. Tang San smiled and said, "You are now Ninth Stage, and your perception of space power has reached a profound level, touching the edge of God Rank. However, don't rush to break through. Amassing deeply and then releasing lightly will give you more benefits at the moment of breakthrough. The transition from the human body to God Rank is very important, it's not as simple as just undergoing Tribulation and transforming."

Previously immersed in the joy of victory, Pretty Girl now listened to Tang San with a serious look in her eyes. She deemed Tang San's guidance even more important than her father's at many times.

He continued, "The transformation process from human to God is a baptism for the entire body. The lightning tribulation is actually just a stimulus and a filter for the human body, and much of the transformation is generated from within. Therefore, the more substantial your accumulations before this transformation, the greater the benefits you will receive during your transformation, giving you more potential at the divine-ranked level and allowing you to go further in the future. Next, what you have to do is to continue to perceive space power better while trying to compress your bloodline power and Spiritual Power as much as possible, delaying the time of Tribulation. At the same time, I suggest you start focusing more on White Tiger Transformation."

"White Tiger Transformation can produce a powerful Emperor like the White Tiger Great Demon King, and it certainly won't be inferior to Peacock Transformation. In battle, you mainly rely on Peacock Transformation, but with the increase of Spiritual Power and the overall improvement of bloodline power, you can actually use the two bloodlines interchangeably and in fusion. Elevate White Tiger Transformation to a level that is as comprehensible as Peacock Transformation, and the difficulties you will face during Tribulation will increase greatly, but once you succeed, the benefits will also be much greater. White Tiger Transformation for Body protection, Peacock Transformation to understand the Heavenly Mechanism; these two complement each other and will bring you many different changes. Also, you must properly comprehend the sword beam from last time; it's very important to you. It's a divine tool with a prowess far beyond that of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather; it's your true weapon for the future."

Listening to Tang San, Pretty Girl's eyes danced, she nodded and said with a smile, "Can't you let me enjoy the moment a little more after just winning the match?"

Tang San paused, also smiling, "We'll talk about that later."

But Pretty Girl shook her head, raising her gaze and looking at him with a smile, "Go ahead, keep on talking. I know you're doing this for my best interest."

"Hmm," Tang San nodded and said, "There's something else I must emphasize to you seriously."

Seeing his solemn expression, Pretty Girl also reined in her smile.

Tang San said, "You must use the ability of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather to peer into fate as little as possible, or even not at all."

Pretty Girl was taken aback. Her ultimate power with the Heavenly Mechanism Dance was to fight by using fate or to peer into fate to see the future. In some respects, the effect was even stronger than that of the Demon King Heavenly Fox, who controlled luck. Now Tang San was telling her not to use it—wasn't this nullifying the ultimate ability of the Peacock Transformation?

Seeing her puzzled expression, Tang San sighed softly and said, "I've heard some things about the Heavenly Mechanism Feather from your father. Why was the lifespan of the Peacock Demon Clan's ancestor, the Great Peacock Demon, so short and not nearly as long-lived as other Great Demon Emperors? And why is the lifespan of each patriarch in your family also not long? It's all closely connected to the Heavenly Mechanism Feather."

"Peering into fate with the Heavenly Mechanism Feather is indeed a very powerful ability. But do you know? Even beings at the level of the Great Demon Emperor can't truly see the future, let alone beings of a higher realm. Because fate must not be revealed. Peering into fate will lead to backlash. This backlash is fatal. So, you should try not to use it, it would be best not to. I haven't figured out yet what to do with this Heavenly Mechanism Feather. But in the future, I hope you won't use it, I will give you a much more powerful divine tool, one that is also more suitable to protect you. You must not use the ability to peer into fate because that kind of backlash is from a special realm, there's nothing that can reverse it."

Pretty Girl was stunned, "Is it really that serious?"

Tang San said very seriously, "Yes, extremely serious. I can handle other matters, but not this one."

Back then, the reason why Tang San, as a First-Generation God King, couldn't save his wife in her previous life was because, while helping him through a tough spot, she altered fate to gain a thread of vital force, enduring the backlash from the universe alone. At that time, Tang San himself did not know; by the time he found out, it was already too late. He then understood how much his wife had silently sacrificed for him.

Pretty Girl could feel his tension at this moment, the first time she had ever sensed such emotion from Tang San. Even when facing an opponent as strong as Mengte Te, he had always appeared confident. But now, there was even a hint of panic in his eyes. She had never seen this in him before.

"Brother, I really want to promise you. But I can't be sure I'll be able to do it. If it really comes to a life-or-death moment, or when Jiali City faces a severe threat, I can't possibly just sit back and not use such power. Please try to understand me," she spoke quietly.

"You still have me. As long as I am by your side, I will not let anyone threaten you," Tang San said earnestly.

Pretty Girl, however, gently shook her head and said, "But until now, I don't even know what you look like. I can feel that you are worth relying on, and I can feel your kindness towards me. But this mask is always a barrier between us. Why can't you just take it off and let me see your face?"

Tang San said, "If I take off my mask and let you see my face, will you promise never to use the Heavenly Mechanism Feather to peer into fate again?"

Pretty Girl blinked, "Do you want me to swear?"
