Chapter 1793: Chapter 1793: Rebirth Tang San (Part 2)

A faint blue flame began to rise from beneath Tang San’s feet, a gentle force slowly pushing everyone around him away.

Tang Wutong’s cries also subsided. She suddenly turned around to look at her father, and cried out, wanting to rush over, but was held back by Dai Yuhao.

With a smile, Tang San waved at them, nodding to the God Kings, then looked up at the sky, his face full of longing and anticipation.

With Xiaowu’s departure, the most torturous time for him was actually these last moments. When he clearly knew everything was irreversible, he gradually let go of his heart. Where she was, he would be.

He never told the children the real reason Xiaowu had to leave.

That traces back ten thousand years, back to that rebellion in the Divine Realm.

The awakened Golden Dragon King, at the last moment, forcibly injected its essence and crazed consciousness into the just-born Tang Wulin, intending to destroy him, even to be reborn using his small body, leaving Tang San with no options.

At that time, Tang San consecutively laid eighteen seals on Tang Wulin and had to send him back to the Soul Land.

However, at that time, Tang San was also severely injured and erupted repeatedly. Hence, he did not notice that when the power of the Golden Dragon King poured into Tang Wulin’s body, Tang Wulin’s body could not actually hold on.

At that moment, it was Xiaowu who, with all her strength, relying on the blood bond between mother and child, devoured most of the madness and the aura of destruction belonging to the Golden Dragon King from Tang Wulin into her own body. Only then could Tang Wulin survive, giving him the chance to have the eighteen seals placed by Tang San.

But at that time, Xiaowu had just given birth, and her body was at its weakest. Madness and destruction entered her body, causing irreversible damage.

If she had told Tang San in time, perhaps Tang San could have found a way to temporarily ease her condition. But at that time, the Divine Realm was facing attacks from the cosmic turbulence and subsequently fell into a black hole. As the head of the Divine Realm Committee, the foremost of the God Kings, the pressure on Tang San was immense, extremely immense. In such circumstances, how could Xiaowu let him be distracted because of her, or even make more sacrifices for her?

When everything settled, and the multi-realm fusion allowed the Divine Realm to stabilize, Xiaowu’s condition had already deteriorated severely. By the time Tang San found out, it was already too late.

On the journey back to the Divine Realm, Tang San smiled in front of his wife every day, but only he knew the depth of his pain. Even though they had clearly returned and found their original world, to give Xiaowu hope to live just a few more days, he dared not recognize his son. He bore so much, just to spend a little more time with his wife.

In the end, he still couldn’t keep her. However, at this moment, deep within Tang San, there was a sense of relief. He could finally let go of everything to find her.

His consciousness began to blur, and the blue flames gradually consumed his body. He had to give up everything of this body, and abandon all divine power, to have a chance of rebirth.

The ignited blue flames turned into the purest divine power, not flying to his descendants, but towards the Divine Realm, giving back to it.

Around Tang San’s body, large swathes of illusory light and shadow began to appear. Those were the scenes he had experienced in his life.

Tang Wulin and his wife, Tang Xuanyu and his wife, all knelt towards Tang San. Tang Wutong also knelt down with her husband, crying bitterly.

They all looked at those scenes belonging to Tang San, praying deeply in their hearts for him.

...

"My name is Xiaowu, dance’s ’wu’."

Xiaowu blinked her big eyes, and said with a smile, "My Martial Soul is a rabbit. A cute little white rabbit. And you?"

Tang San said, "Then you should be my counter; my Martial Soul is the food of your Martial Soul. Bluesilver Grass."

...

Xiaowu said, "Your bedding looks big enough, shouldn’t be a problem for two people. Let’s push the beds together, then we’ll both have one?"

"Men and women shouldn’t touch, that’s not good, right."

Xiaowu placed her bundle in the gap between two beds pushed together, "Place your bundle here too, from now on this is the boundary. If you cross it, don’t blame me for being rude."

...

Tang San realized then that the working students had already returned. He sat up, pointed at the middle boundary line, and said, "You’ve crossed the line."

Xiaowu giggled and said, "So what if I crossed? I am a girl, you should let me, right? Of course, you must not cross the line."

...

Tang San turned around slowly, seriously looking at Xiaowu, "Would you be willing to be my sister? I really wish to have another close family member."

Looking at Tang San’s tearful eyes, Xiaowu’s eyes gradually reddened, "If one day, many people want to kill me, and those people you can’t defeat, what would you do?"

A faint smile appeared on Tang San’s face, "Then let them step over my corpse first."

...

"Let’s be called the Sanwu team."

"Alright. Team 35 is registered."

"Hey, this word is wrong, it should be ’wu’, not ’five’." Xiaowu said discontentedly.

Tang San patted Xiaowu’s shoulder, "Forget it. Sanwu or 35, it’s just a name after all."

...

Hearing Xiaowu’s words, the Titan Ape remarkably stopped and lay down, letting Xiaowu land on the ground from its shoulder. Her big head shook, her eyes revealed an innocent look.

Xiaowu murmured to herself, "Xiaosan is hurt. I was caught by you. He must be very worried. Xiaosan, please don’t be impulsive, I’ll be right back."

...

"There, there. Don’t cry. It’s good that you’re back, it’s good you’re back." Gently patting Xiaowu’s back, Tang San couldn’t help but have misty eyes.

"Brother, it’s all my fault for making you worry." Xiaowu choked up.

Tang San shook his head, "Silly, it’s my fault. I wasn’t capable enough to protect you."

...

Xiaowu pouted slightly, as if acting spoiled, "After a full day’s travel, my legs are sore. Brother, could you massage my legs?"

"In this place? Alright." Tang San lovingly ruffled Xiaowu’s hair.

While helping Xiaowu massage her calves, Tang San said, "If we have to travel like this tomorrow, I can carry you. I should manage the speed with my Eight-Spider Spear."

Xiaowu giggled and said, "No need, I can handle it. Honestly, it’s good to be a bit tired. I have a reason for you to massage my legs. It’s really comfortable; Brother, why are your hands so warm?"

Xiaowu looked at Tang San, her gaze somewhat set, "Brother, it would be nice if we could always be like this. If you have a sister-in-law in the future, would you forget about me?"

With a slight smile, Tang San said, "Silly girl, how could that be? You’ll always be my sister."

Xiaowu chuckled and said, "How about when we grow up, I’ll marry you, alright? That’s the only way I can always be your sister, letting you take care of me."

Tang San laughed out loud, "Alright, but you’re so pretty, marrying me would be a grievance."

Xiaowu hmphed, "I’m serious, there’s nothing to be wronged about. In my heart, you’re the best, Brother, you know? Rongrong always teases me saying we’re like an older brother and younger sister."

Tang San paused for a moment, "That’s right, aren’t you my sister?"

Xiaowu blushed, "It’s different. Ah, not discussing it anymore, you’re such a blockhead."

...

Tears suddenly dropped from Xiaowu’s big eyes as she clung to Tang San’s neck, sobbing, "Brother, do you know how much I miss you? Swear, swear to never leave me."

Tang San said without hesitation, "I swear, unless I’m dead, I will never leave Xiaowu."

Only then did Xiaowu smile through her tears, leaning back on Tang San’s shoulder, "Xiaowu also swears to never leave Brother San, never even in death."

...

Xiaowu wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth, a hint of a smile on her face, gazing dreamily at the enchanting flower in her hand, "I never thought I’m the destined one."

Zhu Zhuqing saw clearly, Xiao Wu’s gaze towards Tang San was so pure, perhaps even they themselves were unsure if there was romantic affection between them. But their emotions were undoubtedly the purest and most sincere, without any flaw.

Tang San stared blankly at Xiao Wu, unable to speak for a long time. Xiao Wu lowered her head, gently stroking the petals with her fingertips, "Xiao San, that story must be true, right?"

Tang San said, "I don’t know either. Eat it, it will give you the best help."

Xiao Wu shook her head, "No, the master is right, how could one bear to consume such an immortal grass? Didn’t you say, once it recognizes its master, it will never wither? I want it to always accompany me, and cherish it."

Tang San never forced Xiao Wu to do anything, he raised his hand and caressed her head, smiling, "Then protect it well, it will also protect you always."

...

Xiao Wu occasionally picked the meat from the dish into Tang San’s bowl, only eating some green vegetables and meat scraps herself.

"Xiao Wu, you should eat too."

Xiao Wu laughed, "I naturally eat less. Besides, you’re growing, the master said you men should eat more meat, otherwise you’ll lack energy."

A simple sentence, yet it fiercely struck the softest part of Tang San’s heart. In an instant, the confusion and bewilderment of the past few days seemed to break free, Tang San stood there dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Wu, a peculiar light shone in his eyes.

Tang San put down the steamed bun in his hand and grabbed Xiao Wu’s hand; in that flash of a moment, he suddenly understood, looking at Xiao Wu’s concerned and delicate face, Tang San felt his blood boiling, "Xiao Wu, no matter what happens in the future, I will guard by your side like now, you are always my most cherished Xiao Wu."

...

Xiao Wu nodded, "Brother, can you help me comb my hair? My hair is a bit messy."

Tang San was taken aback, "Comb hair? But when you go to sleep, won’t your hair still get messy?"

Xiao Wu stuck her tongue out at Tang San, "You’re so silly, when I go back, I will cultivate until tomorrow morning, won’t I?"

While speaking, Xiao Wu took out a comb from her embrace and handed it to Tang San.

"This comb’s wood quality is really good!"

"It was given to me by my mom, personally crafted by her, carved from the best sandalwood redwood. Although there’s no decoration, it’s my mother’s last gift to me."

"Xiao Wu, you really are beautiful."

"Brother, help me comb my hair."

...

"Silly girl, this is made by mom using redwood. Since you’ve already made your choice, mom will give you this comb. In the future, if you find a man you truly love, let him comb your hair with this comb. A woman’s hair can only be combed by one man in her life, mom blesses you. I hope someday you will find the man who can be entrusted with your long hair."

"I’ve found him." With tears glistening, she displayed a faint smile, aligning with how the man behind her groomed her long hair, her gaze fell on the bright moon, as if it were her mother’s smile.

...

Xiao Wu held Tang San’s face, suddenly looking seriously at Tang San, "Brother, look at me."

"What’s up?" Tang San stared into Xiao Wu’s eyes.

"Brother, this is my first kiss. It’s your first kiss too, right? Haha, I got it first. No need for others to think about it later."

...

Xiao Wu: "But..."

Taking a step forward, Tang San lifted both hands, holding Xiao Wu’s delicate face, "Silly girl, there’s no need for buts. Whether you are human or soul beast, I only know you are my sister, and you are also the one I love."

Pulling her into his embrace, Tang San hugged Xiao Wu’s warm, soft body, speaking loudly for all around to hear, "If you want to grab her, then you’ll have to step over my corpse first."

...

Xiao Wu: "You are the first man to comb my hair, and the only one, forever, forever. No matter what our future holds, in my heart, there is no space apart from you."

...

Holding onto Tang San’s neck tightly, Xiao Wu’s heart was pounding fiercely. When Da Ming and Er Ming were trapped by the two Titled Douluo, she had a foreboding feeling. She knew all too well that in her current state, she couldn’t possibly stand up to the remaining experts from the Martial Soul Hall.

In that moment, she was not thinking about her own safety, but only held one thought in her mind: if she could see Tang San one more time before she died, she would have no regrets.

And just before this thought faded from her mind, that familiar Eight-Spider Spear, those familiar hidden weapons, and those familiar eyes appeared in front of her.

Right now, nestled in that warm embrace, Xiao Wu’s heart was filled with pure happiness.

After leaving Tang San back then, she had thought of many things and had felt despair at the possibility of never seeing him again. But she never gave up as long as there was a glimmer of hope. Finally seeing her loved one again, Xiao Wu felt that even if she were to die this instant, it would all be worth it.

With her hands tightly wrapped around Tang San’s neck, she felt his greatly changed aura and the same warm embrace. Xiao Wu was somewhat entranced.

Yet at this moment, Tang San had no time for joy. Holding Xiao Wu, he leapt into the forest, immediately sensing at least ten presences locked onto him. He couldn’t stop at this moment, he could only run desperately into the woods.

...

"Brother." Xiao Wu called softly.

Tang San glanced down, using his Spiritual Power to navigate, rendering his eyes less noticeable.

Gently lifting Xiao Wu’s long hair with his hand, Tang San held her tight, "As long as I am alive, I will never let them harm you."

With those words, his speed abruptly slowed down; his body surged forward, suddenly standing upright, with four of the Eight-Spider Spears lifted, piercing into the two large trees before him. His entire being was like a giant spider scurrying laterally along the trunks, leaping over several big trees.

Tang San’s actions were certainly purposeful. He was circling in a specific direction, with the five closest pursuers trailing in a fan shape. He was precisely moving towards one side. This way, when the enemy caught up, they wouldn’t immediately face the attacks of five Soul Sages.

A blue halo suddenly released, and the Bluesilver Grass on the ground began to grow wildly. In this Xingdou Forest full of Bluesilver Grass, Tang San’s strength could undoubtedly be maximized.

Now was absolutely not the time for mercy. Tang San’s eyes were filled with cold ruthlessness.

...

"Brother, what should we do?"

Tang San continued to advance rapidly while saying in a deep voice, "We must take down these agile-attack class Soul Masters behind us, or we won’t be able to get away. We killed one just now, four left."

Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, the situation before her made her feel as if she was back in the grand soul fighting arena with Tang San facing strong opponents.

"Then let’s show them what the two of us together can do." As she spoke, Xiao Wu wrapped one arm around Tang San’s neck, her body seemingly boneless, slipping over Tang San’s shoulder to his back. As her soft and boneless figure passed over Tang San’s body, a powerful soul power fluctuation was released.

"They’ve entered. Xiao Wu, once I manage to deal with two of them directly, I’ll need time to recover. After I launch my attack, switch to carrying me and run as fast as you can, with me on your back. Got it?"

...

Tang San placed his hands under Xiao Wu’s armpits and fiercely tossed her upward. No matter what attack came, he would never let Xiao Wu endure it with him.

The response from the Soul Sages was naturally swift, and even if Tang San leapt with all his might, there was no way he could instantly escape their attack range. What’s more, after tossing Xiao Wu, his own body momentarily slowed down. A strong thrust from the soul bone in the Bluesilver Emperor’s right leg propelled him, chasing after Xiao Wu in midair. At the same time, Tang San’s hands gripped his hammer, fiercely striking downward.

This time, he exerted all the strength he could muster.

"No—, Brother—" Xiao Wu’s calm was finally broken. The moment Tang San flung her away, she sensed something was wrong. Seeing herself quickly moving away from Tang San, there was nothing she could do. She could only watch as countless dazzling auras swallowed Tang San.

Naturally, Tang San knew Xiao Wu’s temperament. When he flung her away, he had already pinched her acupuncture point, making it impossible for her to use Instant Transfer to return and endure the attack with him.

Facing the attack below, Tang San became extremely calm. Even the Killing God Field couldn’t affect his emotions at this moment.

The Killing God and Bluesilver Domains were simultaneously unleashed to their fullest extent. Intense white light released downward, trying its best to weaken the powers of these Soul Sages. At the same time, after the Hao Tian Hammer struck out, it was retracted, and the Bluesilver Emperor surged out furiously.

Tang San curled up his body, wrapping his hands around his knees, with the Eight-Spider Spears from his back overlapping like a shield. The furiously surging Bluesilver Emperor quickly wrapped him into a large cocoon-like state. The entire body shimmered with a blue-gold radiance.

Tang San’s response could be said to be extraordinarily fast. In the face of life-threatening danger, he finally broke through. The soul power within him surged instantaneously, breaking through the bottleneck between Level fifty-nine and Level sixty in one fell swoop. This sudden increase in soul power undoubtedly became his lever for survival.

Boom, the first to make contact with the enemy’s attack was the strike from the Hao Tian Hammer.

Undoubtedly, the Hao Tian Hammer is one of the most powerful Martial Souls in the world today, but Tang San’s Hao Tian Hammer is far from strong enough. Without a single Soul Ring added, coupled with his current level of soul power, it’s utterly insufficient to bring out the true might of the Hao Tian Hammer. At the moment of contact, it was instantly shattered by the Soul Sages’ formidable attacks.

Tang San never intended to use that strike of the Hao Tian Hammer to resist the enemy’s attack; what he wanted was to borrow its force.

Indeed, before the seven beams of light engulfed his body, due to the counterforce from the collision with the opponent when the Hao Tian Hammer struck, his body was once again pushed into the sky.

The longer the attack distance, the more the attack power will be weakened. At this moment, even if it could only slightly weaken the opponent’s attack, for Tang San, the chances of survival would increase somewhat.

Boom——

With just the first blast of soul power from the Martial Soul True Body, the Bluesilver Emperor surrounding Tang San had already shattered completely. The attack power unleashed by the Martial Soul True Body was by no means something he could withstand at his current level.

"No——" Xiao Wu in the air saw Tang San like a small boat in the raging torrents amidst the intense bombardment; tears uncontrollably burst from her eyes. But at the moment Tang San threw her, he had already infused most of his soul power into her, and her body was still flying towards the sky.

Boom——

The second attack landed on the Eight-Spider Spear at Tang San’s back, which he had deliberately adjusted. In the ear-piercing sound of cracking, all the Eight-Spider Spears crumbled, and Tang San could no longer maintain his curled posture, spewing a thick mist of blood from his mouth, turning the air a faint red.

Boom——

The third attack followed closely and hit Tang San’s back. This time, even after countless enhancements, the Eight-Spider Spears could no longer hold up. They shattered instantly, turning into countless blue-golden fragments flying in all directions. Yet another mist of blood spurted from Tang San’s mouth. His face had become as pale as gold paper.

At this moment, there was no longer any force that could protect him. Due to the combined Martial Soul True Body explosion of the seven Soul Sages, the Bluesilver Grass on the ground couldn’t even get close. And Tang San himself could only take out the Hao Tian Hammer.

The fourth attack came, a completely dark green attack.

And just as this attack was about to hit, Tang San in mid-air made an unbelievable move, forcibly twisting his body in the air, flinging his right leg like a whip towards that dark green light.

Even the people from the Martial Soul Hall didn’t understand why he did this. For Tang San, the best option would naturally have been to use the Hao Tian Hammer to defend; even if he couldn’t block it, he could minimize the impact on himself. Be aware that under the soul power shock from these Martial Soul True Bodies, even the agile-attack class Soul Sage flying in the air didn’t dare get close.

Boom——

"Ah——" A sharp scream erupted from Xiao Wu’s mouth, her eyes no longer shedding tears but blood. At this moment, she finally forcibly broke through Tang San’s seal on her numb acupoints.

Tang San’s right leg disappeared, completely vanished into the air. Yet, he himself was terribly calm, spewing blood from his mouth once more while using his right hand to take a grab. His internal soul power gushed out wildly as he grasped a blue shimmering leg bone from the blood mist that had become of his right leg.

He swung around fiercely, without glancing at the three attacks continuing to blast towards him, hurling that right leg bone towards Xiao Wu with all his might.

"Xiao Wu, soul bone skill flying, go quickly——" Tang San’s voice was completely hoarse, as though ripped apart. He poured all the last of his strength into this throw.

From the moment he shot up, Tang San had already calculated everything. He never thought he could escape with Xiao Wu. His soul power was greatly depleted, and facing such overwhelmingly stronger enemies, escaping unscathed was nothing more than a fool’s dream.

Launching himself into the air, using himself as a shield for Xiao Wu, hurling her outward, sacrificing his right leg to block the attack, while forcibly severing the connection of the Bluesilver Emperor right leg bone with himself using the method Tang Hao once used.

Tang San was not a Titled Douluo, nor did he possess the cost of self-detaching soul bones. At this moment, what he was sacrificing was his life.

As he grasped into the blood mist with his right hand, his left hand already held a piece of the shattered Eight-Spider Spear firmly, piercing it into his left chest heart. Only by paying the price of life could he forcibly sever the Bluesilver Emperor right leg bone from his body.

The last of his life force was when he flung out that piece of Bluesilver Emperor right leg bone. When he shouted that sentence, purple-black blood gushed wildly from Tang San’s mouth.

But he was smiling, the only expression left on his face was a smile.

He didn’t want to die at the hands of the enemy; he had promised to protect Xiao Wu, who belonged only to him. He knew he had done it. By catching his Bluesilver Emperor right leg bone in the sky, Xiao Wu would surely escape safely.

The hidden weapon on his chest activated, and countless fine needles shot towards the nearby agile-attack class Soul Master. Even in this last moment, Tang San wanted to delay the enemies as much as possible to ensure her safety.

On the ground, two figures sped up, and as they arrived, it was at the exact moment when the seven beams of light surged up, chasing Tang San’s body.

Evil Moon’s pupils contracted, while Hulena, arriving with him, was already completely stunned.

She watched as Tang San’s body shattered under the beams of light, saw him self-mutilate to extract the bone, saw him shouting the name of his beloved, throwing the hope of life to his lover, and Hulena’s vision became blurry, her body limp, collapsing into Evil Moon’s embrace.

In Xiao Wu’s eyes.

The Bluesilver Emperor right leg bone flew towards him, and Tang San grasped the Eight-Spider Spear shard with his right hand, stabbing it into his heart fiercely as the remaining three strong lights were about to consume his body. He was indeed exchanging his chance to live at the cost of his life.

At this moment, she completely understood that everything was part of Tang San’s plan. It was as if their hearts were connected.

Brother, I’m sorry, this time, I can’t let your plan succeed.

Xiao Wu’s eyes had turned blood-red, just like when Tang San couldn’t find her in the past. Looking at Tang San’s already battered and on the brink of being devoured body, in midair, she suddenly lifted her head,

"Ah——" An incomparably sharp wail burst from Xiao Wu’s mouth. That piercing sound seemed to make the entire Xingdou Forest tremble.

A blinding red light suddenly spread from the center of Xiao Wu’s forehead, transforming into a circle of red halo that instantly expanded. Everywhere the red light touched was rendered blood-colored, and everything also froze at this moment.

Just like Tang San’s mother, Ah Yin, she too made the same choice for her lover.

The blood flames burned fiercer, gradually turning from red to dark red, while Xiao Wu’s body also gradually fainted in this transformation, like an increasingly transparent red crystal.

All the red expanded into a huge ring slowly contracting, surrounding Xiao Wu and her man.

At this moment, the absolute stillness generated by that enormous red magnetic field was gradually weakening, with the consciousness within its range recovering first.

Witnessing that blood-red brilliance, all the experts of the Martial Soul Hall were stunned. The light emanating from Xiao Wu was so intense that they couldn’t even see her figure clearly. However, in their hearts, they could already imagine what she was doing.

A hundred-thousand-year cultivation, that was a hundred-thousand-year cultivation.

Hulena also regained consciousness from her coma. Under the effect of the head soul bones, her vision was much better than others, and what she saw was Xiao Wu gazing into Tang San’s eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? Even though they emitted a blood-red glow, the profound love in their depths seemed to ignite one’s soul.

Purple-black blood continuously gushed from Tang San’s chest wound; it was the poison from the Eight-Spider Spear. Meanwhile, other injuries on his body healed at an astonishing speed under the dark red blood flame’s embrace. Especially the vanished right leg, it was growing back, wrapping around the original Bluesilver Emperor right leg bone.

In front of these Martial Soul Hall experts, a miracle was unfolding.

Tang San’s eyes regained vitality, and all he saw were those eyes. Those eyes filled with love and sorrow.

No, no, Xiao Wu, why aren’t you leaving...

Tang San wanted to struggle; his eyes were filled with endless pain. He certainly understood what Xiao Wu was doing and the consequences of doing so. However, he couldn’t stop it; he couldn’t move at all, only watching as everything headed toward his most dreaded direction.

How could this happen, how could this happen? Although Tang San’s calculative ability was strong, at this moment, everything before him had entirely exceeded his calculations. The plan intended to conclude his life did not end it. Instead, the person he most wanted to protect was...

Bathing in the blood flames emerging from Xiao Wu, Tang San continuously felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, as if his soul was leaving his body. His heart was full of resistance, but he couldn’t stop what was happening before him, only watching in despair as Xiao Wu’s body faded away in front of him.

Xiao Wu by now could no longer speak, her Life Force had been entirely used to fuel the blood flames on her. But her blood-red beautiful eyes seemed to convey her love wordlessly to Tang San.

Even Tang San didn’t know that the method Xiao Wu used at this time was different from what his mother used back then. Xiao Wu used a more domineering method, and this domineering was targeted only at herself. This method is called sacrifice.

To sacrifice herself to Tang San. After all, Tang San wasn’t like Tang Hao back then; he hadn’t reached the level of a Titled Douluo, he couldn’t possibly absorb a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. It was precisely considering this point that Xiao Wu chose to burn her Life Force like this to complete the scene before them.

Sacrifice, not only is it sacrificing her life, but also her soul. To ensure that Tang San would successfully absorb her offered Soul Ring, Xiao Wu’s soul completely merged into this Soul Ring throughout the sacrifice, giving herself wholly to Tang San.

In this type of sacrifice, regardless of Tang San’s strength or whether he reached the level requiring a Soul Ring, his fusion with a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring would be absolutely successful. He only needed to reach the relevant level to continue advancing in the future.

And the outcome for Xiao Wu would be eternal damnation, unlike the life trace left by Tang San’s mother with any chance of recovery.

Hulena was mesmerized; she suddenly realized that compared to Xiao Wu, she was so insignificant. Who Tang San was to her no longer mattered. She had fully witnessed what true love was.

For her, he could sacrifice his life, committing suicide to retrieve his bone.

For him, she could burn her Life Force, sacrificing her Soul Ring.

What kind of love allows them to give so much to each other? No wonder he was completely indifferent to her beauty, even when she purposely seduced him while passing through the road of hell. In his heart, he already had this perfect lover.

"Xiao——Wu——" A heart-wrenching cry erupted from Tang San, not sounding human. At this moment, any evolution in power no longer had any meaning to him. His heart was trembling, he even forgot about those executioners who forced Xiao Wu to death around him. Watching Xiao Wu’s final breath dissipate, that empty shell lost of soul and Life Force, Tang San’s heart shattered.

Suddenly, Tang San’s gaze focused for a moment because he saw something on his body, it was a flower, a beautiful big flower.

As Xiao Wu transformed into a rabbit, she rolled onto Tang San.

Almost immediately, Tang San carefully cradled the little rabbit Xiao Wu had turned into with one hand, while swiftly picking up the colorful Acacia Red with the other hand, gently bringing its petals to Xiao Wu’s mouth. Gently peeling apart her lips, which had transformed into three petals, he allowed one petal to enter.

A strange scene unfolded. The steadfast petal dissolved into liquid upon entering Xiao Wu’s mouth, flowing into the little rabbit that was barely clinging to life.

The Acacia Red had been picked by Xiao Wu. Even though she had lost her human form, and her life and soul were stripped away, her essence remained. Only with her essence could this most precious of immortal herbs melt away.

Seeing this scene, a glimmer of hope reignited in Tang San’s previously despairing heart, as he carefully turned the stem of the Acacia Red, sending petal after petal into Xiao Wu’s mouth.

Whether it was the Titan Ape or the Azure Oxpython, both cautiously brought their enormous heads close to Tang San. Although they weren’t sure what Tang San was doing, they had sensed the Acacia Red’s aura from Xiao Wu more than once.

They both understood sacrifice and the result of sacrifice. But deep in their hearts, a sliver of hope remained. They even set aside revenge for Xiao Wu, only hoping for that slim miracle.

The miracle truly occurred.

As the liquefied Acacia Red flowed into Xiao Wu’s body, a faint golden-red light began to surround her, and her once completely exhausted life force began to rapidly recover.

Xiao Wu’s dying body, as small as a palm, started to grow at an astonishing speed. Under the golden-red light, her once dim fur regained its luster, shimmering like strands of crystal.

Her closed eyes gradually opened. As her life force recovered, vast waves of life energy emerged from within her, rapidly repairing the bodily functions that were damaged when she burnt her life force.

The Acacia Red could bring the dead back to life and heal bones. As it was picked by Xiao Wu, and since she gave herself completely for love when she was on the brink of death, she reached a perfect harmony with this immortal herb. She was pulled back forcefully from the edge of death.

Xiao Wu’s body continued to grow until it reached over a foot long before stopping. She consumed the entire Acacia Red. Tang San’s heart trembled as he watched Xiao Wu’s life force recover, his deadened heart regaining some vitality.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, can you hear my voice?"

Transformed into a rabbit, Xiao Wu could not respond to him. The rabbit’s eyes, which had regained their luster, slowly closed, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Gently holding her in his embrace, Tang San was dazed. He sat there motionless, knowing that the Acacia Red had started to work, but that it would take some time to completely manifest its effects.

He just sat there holding Xiao Wu, like someone in a stupor, unmoving.

...

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu beside him, his eyes filled with gentleness. "I want to marry Xiao Wu. I want to get engaged to Xiao Wu with your witness. Once she fully recovers, we’ll marry immediately. Please agree." As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Wu to kneel before his parents.

Large tears fell from Xiao Wu’s face, her temporarily returned soul fluttered violently. She softly called out two words, "Dad----, Mom----"

...

Looking up at the sky, Tang San silently said in his heart: Da Ming, Er Ming, do you know, reviving Xiao Wu is your last hope, but it’s my only hope. Xiao Wu’s revival is synonymous with my reason to live. I don’t need to promise you anything; if Xiao Wu can’t be revived, I have no reason to live. No one loves her more than I do. From the moment I met Xiao Wu, she was my destined love.

"Xiao Wu, we’re finally going to be together again. I will definitely help you fully revive. I won’t allow you to go on like this; you must always stay by my side until one day, we grow old together."

Tang San did not retreat, staring determinedly at those eyes within the phantom. He shouted out, almost in a roar, "Re-vive—my—love!"

He gently kissed Xiao Wu’s forehead and softly said, "Xiao Wu, will you marry me? I’ve finally earned the right to say this to you."

"I will, I will..." Xiao Wu agreed without hesitation, her voice choked with emotion, her eyes filled with tears, but this time they were tears of happiness, not sorrow.

Tang San softly said, "When we return to Tiandou City, I’ll report to our teacher and marry you formally. I want to give you a grand wedding, letting the whole world know you are my wife. Your happiness will be my greatest joy for life. I want to love you for all eternity, till the end of time. Even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, we will never part."

Xiao Wu nestled in Tang San’s arms, softly saying, "No matter what you must do, I will follow you."

...

Tang San apologized, "It’s all my fault. Since your revival, I haven’t had much time to be with you. Xiao Wu, did you know, I really want to marry you in the grandest wedding on the continent, making you my bride. Remember, this is my promise to you. It won’t take long. After we defeat the Martial Soul Empire, I will make you my wife. From then on, all my time will be spent with you, alright? When that time comes, you can give me a few children, and we will live wherever you like."

...

Tang San held Xiao Wu’s hands. He brought them to his mouth. "Xiao Wu. I proposed to you. You agreed. Don’t worry. No matter how difficult it becomes, I will succeed in making you my bride."

Xiao Wu’s eyes welled up with tears. She threw herself into Tang San’s arms, her hands touching Tang San’s face, gazing at him intently. "Brother, I love you. For me, you must live. Remember, whether you are human, divine, or ghost, I will always stay by your side."

...

"Brother, this time, I really feel like I’m about to become your wife."

Tang San laughed heartily and said, "Of course. From the moment I first saw you, it was destined that you are mine."

Xiao Wu giggled and said, "How do I remember that when we first met, someone ended up flat on the ground because of me? You could say that I’ve floored a god."

"Uh..." Tang San scratched his head, "Back then, we were just kids, and your skills in martial arts were so impressive. If I fell, I fell. After all, hitting means affection, and scolding means love. Xiao Wu, do you know? The happiest time in my life was from when I was six until before we finished participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. During those years, we were always together and lived carefree. Being able to cultivate with you every day and seeing your smile was my greatest satisfaction."

Xiao Wu gently nodded, "Me too."

...

The blue flame gradually extinguished, and the figure of a generation’s God King, the head of the Council of the Divine Realm, Tang San, turned from solid to ethereal, with only his eyes remaining bright and striking.

"Xiao Wu, perhaps when I find you again, you will have forgotten everything. Forgotten Xingdou Forest, forgotten our identities as Soul Masters, forgotten Shrek Academy, forgotten our Soul Land, even forgotten me. None of that matters, I only pray to be able to find you. As long as I find you, I will surely use everything I have to love you again, to bring you back to my side, so we can have our family reunion. Don’t be in too much of a rush, wait for me..."

The blue flame suddenly flared brightly, transforming into a brilliant firework. Tang San’s ethereal form swiftly expanded; he waved a smiling farewell to his family and the gods of the Divine Realm. The next instant, his entire body suddenly collapsed inward, condensing into a single point, and just like that, vanished into space.

"Buzz—" The Divine Realm trembled, and the entire Divine Realm shook violently. In an instant, a faint layer of red covered the Divine Realm.

The fall of the God King, and heaven and earth mourned together.

"Father—" Tang Wutong cried out mournfully, throwing herself into Dai Yuhao’s embrace and sobbing uncontrollably.

Tang San was gone; a generation’s God King, in such a way of burning himself, forcibly separated from everything to pursue his wife. At that instant, the entire Divine Realm was engulfed in sorrow.

He completed his most crucial mission, bringing the Divine Realm back safely and protecting it during the most challenging times. And at this time, with everything settled, he chose to pursue his wife.

"Uncle Changgong." Tang Wulin forced back his grief and approached the God King of Light, Changgong Wei.

At this moment, Changgong Wei was also gripped with melancholy. He had met Tang San when the Divine Realm faced the crisis of being swallowed by a black hole. They were once adversaries, later partners. Together, they worked tirelessly to pull the Divine Realm out of the black hole and worked hard to restore it.

He respected Tang San, especially now. As a God King, possessing near-immortal life, he gave it all up so freely, just to seek his love. This was true love.

Not only did he think so, but every God King present also felt a deep respect for Tang San. Upon reflection, how many could truly achieve this?

"Wulin, my condolences." Changgong Wei sighed softly as he looked at the approaching Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin nodded and said, "Uncle Changgong, can my father really find my mother? Can they really come back? What conditions does this require?"

Changgong Wei replied solemnly, "Your father is reincarnated at the cost of relinquishing his God King body. But the laws of the universe are strict; even beings at our level will lose all past life connections upon reincarnation. Relying on the godhood of the God King, he can only retain his memory. Except for the memory, he takes nothing with him. As for your mother, passing away of natural causes means not even memories can be preserved. As gods, their only assurance is that they will reincarnate as humans. But where they will be reborn is unknown, possibly on a plane close to us or at the distant end of the universe. Your mother will have no memory of her past life, so for them to return requires two crucial conditions: one, your father must find your mother and ensure safety before they both mature. The second is that they both cultivate to become gods again. Cultivating to godhood ensures their survival. But to return to our Divine Realm, at least your father must cultivate to the God King level, reestablish himself as the Sea God, to return. Do not worry too much; with your father’s wisdom, if he can find your mother, he still has a great chance of returning since he takes his memories with him."

Tang Wulin nodded silently, and Tang Wutong also subdued her sobs.

Changgong Wei’s explanation was clear, but their hearts remained heavy. Reincarnation entails countless uncertainties. What challenges their parents might face is unknown. Even those at the God King level cannot simply find reincarnated parents. Tang San can only rely on his precious memories. We can only hope they are reborn in a relatively peaceful world and successfully find each other.

Changgong Wei spoke solemnly, "Now that the matter here is resolved, the gods shall return to their posts, and the Divine Realm will consolidate according to the coordinates previously set by the Sea God. Xuanyu, as a newly appointed Dragon God, you need to establish your Divine Realm. When the day comes that you’re ready, we will come to witness it. Remember your grandfather’s advice. In the future, our two Divine Realms will watch over and support each other. We will divide our developments in opposite directions, starting from the border of the Douluo Federation and the Dragon Horse Federation."

Tang Xuanyu nodded in acknowledgment to Changgong Wei. Although Changgong Wei held seniority over him, Tang Xuanyu was already destined to be the ruler of a world. For the Dragon Clan and for his godhood, he must uphold the pride of a Dragon God.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena both stepped forward to embrace Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, as everyone remained in the sorrow of Tang San’s departure.

The God Kings present, along with the newly ascended godly couple Tang Wulin and his spouse, returned together to the Divine Realm. The colorful Divine Realm slowly retracted its light, and in the next moment, simply vanished into space.

Staring at the direction where the Divine Realm disappeared, and then at where his grandfather had left, Tang Xuanyu secretly murmured, "Grandfather, grandmother, you will surely find each other, you will surely return. No matter where you are, you will come back."
