Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 824: Tang Sans Journey
Chapter 824: Tang San's Journey
Xiao He nodded and said, "Alright, we'll call it the Skytree Realm. I'll prioritize pushing this plan forward. As I said, we should see the first phase more or less implemented within a month. If you want to go out for a while, feel free, but it would be best if we had a way to stay in touch. That way, if any issues arise here, we can contact you immediately."
Tang San nodded slightly. "Little Mei and I have a special way of communicating. If necessary, no matter where I am, she can alert me immediately. I'll use the Spacetime Lighthouse to teleport back to Crescent Island."
Things were far different nowadays from what they'd been just a year before. With the Spacetime Lighthouse and the Asura Sword as the link between him and Mei Gongzi, there would be no delays in communication. Whenever a problem arose, Mei Gongzi could simply trigger the Asura Sword's intent, instantly connecting with Tang San and signaling him to return at once.
"Then you'd better go quickly. Finding a way for humans to cultivate is the most crucial task for the future development of our nation. Without this foundation, humans will always live under the shadow of demons and nymphs, relying on their bloodlines for the Demonic God Transformation."
Listening to Xiao He's words, Tang San couldn't help but feel a bit conflicted. It wasn't that he didn't agree, but... this guy was really quick to adopt his new role!
Xiao He sighed and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm just adapting to the situation. Besides, Qingzhu recently infused me with her bloodline, and after retraining in the Peacock Transformation, I've increasingly felt the benefits of a human body. Cultivating the Demonic God Transformation the way humans do may pose difficulties in terms of bloodline purity, but as far as insights go, humans are far better off. I don't think anyone understands this better than me, having trained both as a human and as a demon. This also made me realize how strong human potential is. I mean, that's a given. Otherwise, you and Little Mei wouldn't have become the fastest-advancing Great Demon Kings in history. Your progress rate is unprecedented on the Daemon Continent, and it goes to show that what humans lack is an opportunity to excavate their potential."
"Exactly." Tang San nodded slightly. "What humans lack are opportunities."
Mei Gongzi, who had been quietly listening on the side, suddenly interjected, "Does this mean you're planning to leave me behind?"
Hearing the hint of emotion in her voice, Tang San smiled wryly. "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that trouble might arise here at any time. If I go too far, no communication device can keep me in touch with the people here. On the other hand, with you here, we'll be able to rely on our bond; even if we can't talk directly, you can at least alert me if something happens. How about this? I'll go out during the day, teleport back at night, and the next day, I'll teleport back to where I left off to continue exploring."
Xiao He chimed in, "Little Mei, he needs to find an opportunity and requires solitude and quiet reflection. If you're with him, his thoughts will be on you, and how could he find the right opportunity then?"
Mei Gongzi suddenly giggled. "Dad, since when did your emotional intelligence get so high? I wasn't upset with him at all!"
Xiao He laughed and said, "You just can't bear to see him go, right? I've been there—I can easily read these little thoughts of yours."
Mei Gongzi's cheeks flushed. She walked up to Tang San and said, "If you're going, then go ahead. I'm also worried that the Ancestral Court might take action against us again. But unless it's something very important, I won't call for you. You can go and search with peace of mind, but don't stay away too long."

"Yes, it won't be too long. I already have my own thoughts and ideas; I just need to see more to refine them. Later, I might actually need to visit the Solstice Empire to find more insights, and I'll take you with me then. Communication should still be stable on the Daemon Continent."
"Alright."
Tang San felt reassured leaving the task of laying the groundwork for the new country to Xiao He. This so-called country was still just a fledgling concept; there was no rush to formally establish a sovereign nation. But the overseas immigrants were already in large enough numbers that a unified government system was needed. This was the long-term solution and the best way to accommodate more immigrants.
Luo Qingzhu dispatched a Great Demon King elder of the clan to assist Xiao He. Before the completion of the first phase, Xiao He could be teleported to any island at any time through the teleportation array. His current tasks included establishing unified regulations, inspecting the islands, counting the population, and documenting everything. In addition, procedures for immigration had to be put in place—everybody would have to register and move to a set destination. It was a massively complex process that could not be done by a single person, so Zhang Haoxuan also sent over a dozen students from Redemption Academy to assist Xiao He.
With everything at home settled, Tang San became the hands-off boss. He couldn't possibly manage every detail of the vast human world himself, and neither did he wish to do so. If he took care of everything for humanity, it would take countless years, and humans would never truly grow on their own.
What Tang San needed to do now was maintain a good state of mind and search for a path to power that would give humanity a future. As for how that future would unfold, humans would have to find out for themselves.
There was once a story about a young man who raised a baby bird. Every day, around the same time, the young man would feed it worms. Over time, the bird grew accustomed to this, and when it was released into the wild, it had no idea what to do. When it noticed a worm crawling across the ground, it would approach the worm and stand there with its beak open, waiting for the worm to jump in, rather than pick it up and eat it.
Excessive protection only makes creatures lose their survival instincts. For that reason, Tang San didn't directly involve himself in governing the new country, training people, or anything of the kind. He believed that with humanity's innate creativity, they would soon establish a system that suited them best. All he needed to do was be a guardian in the shadows, ensuring that humans had the opportunity to awaken and were not crushed in the meantime.
In fact, he hoped that humans would forget about him once he left. As long as they could truly develop their own survival abilities and fight against the other races on this plane, that would be enough. This was also his promise to the planar ruler—to interfere as little as possible with the development and balance of this plane.
In fact, the whole reason the planar ruler had even accepted Tang San's proposal in the first place was that others had no concern for this balance. The development of demons and nymphs had become excessive, unfair to the planet's other beings. This imbalance was causing the fortunes of Falan Planet to skew dramatically, affecting the entire plane. Had this not been the case, Tang San's tribulation would have gone quite differently. If the Falan Planet plane had been in an optimal state, the best way for the planar ruler to resolve the potential threat posed by Tang San would have been to eliminate him outright, and for all his trump cards, it would have been quite possible for him to die.
