Chapter 802: 801
"In this life, meeting you has been my greatest fortune. Thus, I must fulfil all promises I made to you at any cost. Over these past ten years, I truly regret having let you suffer. I know you might still find it hard to accept this human body of mine. No matter how you decide, I will have no complaints. I only hope to see you often in the future; that alone would satisfy me. Honestly, my predecessor has lived up to the Peacock Demon Clan. Having to support Jiali City without an Emperor, I was almost always under immense stress. The only one I owe an apology to is you; my departure made you sad. Now, I am back, all alone, and this human body isn't so bad, at least there are no binds of identity. It allows me to love you wholeheartedly without the disturbances of the mundane world."
Luo Qingzhu lifted her head to look at him, her red lips trembling slightly, "It's, it's good you're back. It's good you're back..."
With that, she could no longer control her emotions and suddenly threw herself into Xiao He's arms, crying loudly.
In Su Qin's room,
Pretty Girl recounted to her mother the various experiences of her journey to the Ancestral Court. Su Qin listened, utterly alarmed, occasionally glancing at Tang San.
Before setting off to report, Pretty Girl hadn't informed her mother about the severe difficulties they would face. Only now did Su Qin realize how thrilling and intense the reporting had been. And they had indeed completed it. Now, Pretty Girl has even reached the Great Demon King Level status. Tang San has also ascended to Godhood.
"Mom, don't worry, it's all over now, everything's past. We're all back. The hardest times are behind us, and from now on, things will get better. About our settlement though..." Here, Pretty Girl's eyes reddened again.
Whenever she recalled the thousands of deceased fellow clansmen, her heart was filled with pain.
Su Qin gave her daughter a hug, sighed, and said, "From you, I see hope for the rise of humanity. How can a weak race rise without sacrifice? Those who chose to stay did so willingly. Their descendants have all been sent overseas and have received more resources. Now, with over fifty thousand of our people settled overseas and with the support of the Sea Clan, they live and work in peace and no longer suffer oppression. Going forward, you shouldn't mourn their sacrifice. Rather, let their sacrificial spirit inspire you to help our people live even better lives."
At this point, she turned to Tang San, "Xiao Tang, what plans do you have?"
Tang San nodded slightly and said, "The two things that we humans currently lack are, first, innate talents. We need to have talents that we can improve on our own, not just reliant on the Demon God Transformation. The Demon God Transformation is still restricted by the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, leading to issues of insufficient bloodline purity and challenges in advancement. Ascending to even higher levels is extremely difficult. Another thing is unity. Our people transported overseas come from all around, now they simply strive to survive. Once their lives become stable, creating stronger cohesion among them so that they truly develop, and not just survive, is also crucial."
Su Qin asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly, "Next, I will spend some time overseas, first to find a way to unlock talents for humanity. Another is to establish a nation of our own. Only by existing as a nation can humans truly have their own cohesion and order, gradually becoming stronger."
"A nation?" Su Qin whispered incredulously, her eyes filled with astonishment, yet they immediately brightened.
How distant the word 'nation' once seemed to humanity, and how fervently generations of humans have desired to establish a nation of their own.
And now, Tang San speaking of founding a nation, how could it not excite Su Qin?
"Isn't it too hasty?" Su Qin asked, suppressing the excitement in her heart. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Tang San said, "Before establishing our nation, of course, we still have a lot of preparatory work to do, and we need to assess the current state of our fellow clan members, while also working on some integration. Migration must also continue. Establishing a nation is not an easy task, we need to keep working hard. But I should have some ways to handle it. Establishing the nation at sea, thus far away from land and not within the control of Demon Monster Land, and protected by the Sea Clan, as long as the news is completely isolated, the Ancestral Court won't be aware of the exact situation, and it won't affect us."
Su Qin nodded and said, "It's much safer to establish a nation at sea. We still need to keep transporting more of our clansmen overseas."
Tang San said, "Yes, after this return, Little Beauty has officially become the Jiali City Lord. We secretly start to gather fellow clan members from various places, continuing our overseas migration. When more than one-third of our clansmen have moved overseas, and Little Beauty is able to achieve the status of an Emperor, then, we will have initially qualified to protect our clansmen."
Su Qin frowned and said, "Becoming an Emperor isn't that easy, right? The assessment for becoming an Emperor seems very tough. Mainly, since Little Beauty has Human Bloodline, this time you all had such difficulties, would the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox and those guys let her smoothly become an Emperor?"
Tang San smiled slightly and said, "When Little Beauty is capable of becoming an Emperor, they won't be able to stop her. This is different from the previous tenure. At that time, I will also have enough ability to protect her. When she becomes an Emperor, it will also be the time for us to officially announce to the Monster Clan, Spirit Clan that we humans have completely stood up and will make them rue their interference and hesitate to act."
Seeing the confidence in Tang San's eyes, Su Qin could not help but show a faint smile; Tang San's successful companionship of Pretty Girl during her tenure, also reaching the God Rank, made her feel as if witnessing Roc spreading its grand wings, full of momentum and soaring aspirations, transforming his entire aura.
To accomplish what others cannot, to relegate all Emperors of the Ancestral Court to mere backdrops in his Tribulation, this young man is truly extraordinary!
"No matter what you do, I fully support you," said Su Qin with a smile.
All of a sudden, Pretty Girl said, "Mom, there are two things I need to tell you."
Su Qin turned her head to look at her, saying, "Go ahead."
Pretty Girl glanced at Tang San, then spoke softly, "Grandpa misses you very much."
Hearing this, the smile on Su Qin's face disappeared instantly, her eyes reddened again, and biting her red lips, she said, "I... I'm too ashamed to go back and face him..." At this point, her tears fell once again.
"No, Mom, Grandpa told me to tell you, everything is in the past, he just hopes you can come back to him. He's old, he wants you to come back." Then, she recounted the state and words of White Tiger Great Demon King at the time.
Hearing Pretty Girl's words, Su Qin was already sobbing uncontrollably, nodding repeatedly, "I'll go back, I'll prepare to start the journey back immediately."
Seeing her mother agree, Pretty Girl held her mother's hand and said softly, "Stay with me a few more days before you go, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you too!"
Watching the mother and daughter embracing and weeping together, Tang San coughed lightly and said, "Actually, we have a Teleportation Array, meeting isn't that hard, it should only take a few minutes to teleport there. You can meet any time."
Pretty Girl was startled, yes! Though they were parting, with the Ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array, distance was not a problem, and going back to White Tiger Palace could be done anytime.
Tang San reminded her, "Tell the other thing."
