Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 766 - 765 Tang San’s Wrath
Compared to the overbearing nature of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, humans are much more tolerant, whether on any plane or planet. Although it cannot be said that they coexist in complete peace, they certainly do not enslave other races as arbitrarily as the Monster Clan, Spirit Clan do.
But what he never expected was that the injuries caused by the Tribulation would put him in such a long period of deep meditation, resulting in the human settlement outside of Jiali City being left unguarded, which led to the tragedy.
More than four thousand lives!
Red One and the girls with red names all bowed their heads, and some of them couldn’t help but cry out loud.
They had all been to the settlement before. The establishment of the settlement was the result of everyone’s concerted efforts, including their own. There, it was almost entirely humans working together, building houses, constructing docks, and setting up shops. Everything was so orderly. Redemption Academy established schools for children and young people, allowing more people to learn knowledge and literacy. Even the elderly listened outside the school. Almost every former student from Redemption Academy became a teacher in the settlement.
Every day was busy, but there, the numbness was gone from people’s faces – they truly smiled. No matter how tired, they were working for their future. The settlement was filled with warmth, and conflicts were rare. Everything was so orderly, everything so beautiful.
The word "home" truly resonated for many humans only after they arrived at the settlement. Indeed, it was here that they truly had a home of their own.
For the older humans, it was also the reason they could not bear to leave! Even in death, they wished to die in their own homes.
Tang San knew all too well that the so-called elderly among humans were just those above forty years of age. In this world, it was already exceedingly rare for humans to live past forty.
They just wanted to have a home of their own, to no longer be oppressed, no longer enslaved, to live on their own hard work. They harbored no extravagant desires, did not wish to become powerful, only to live on in safety.
Yet even such a simple wish was destroyed without hesitation by the exalted Emperor. They were all civilians! The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox did not hesitate to act.
Without a doubt, it was the cruelest of warnings, signalling to humans not to harbor illusions just because they had Pretty Girl as the plane master of Jiali City. Yes, to the Monster Clan, the very idea of humans having their own homeland was a delusion.
Tang San shed no tears, his gaze was eerily calm.
"How is the aftermath being handled?"
Red One bowed her head, her voice choking as she said, "They’ve left, many people have left. Many who were originally arranged in the mountains have fled. Some have stayed, hoping to be arranged for a sea voyage. All those in the settlement are dead, there’s no place that needs handling. Since the tragedy, the docks have been destroyed, the boats at shore all ruined; nobody is shipping out to sea anymore."
"What about Redemption Academy?" asked Tang San again.
"It’s not too bad there. The academy is close to Jiali Academy, actually within the range of Jiali City, so it hasn’t been affected. There’s been no real reaction from Jiali City. The Peacock Demon Clan hasn’t done anything. They’ve just ordered the humans within Jiali City not to go out at will."
Tang San knew that this was all the protection the Peacock Demon Clan could barely offer humans. Facing the Emperor, not to mention that the Peacock Demon Clan originally had no fondness for humans, even if they wanted to do something, they lacked the power. Those were the arrivals of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox and the White Tiger Great Demon King.
Although the final outcome was much better than expected, still, more than four thousand people died like that.
At this moment, in Tang San’s heart, there was no self-blame, there was only a towering rage and hatred.
"Clash of races, their hearts must differ," the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox must have thought so. For humans, isn’t it the same?
After retrieving Pretty Girl, Tang San had always been telling himself to minimize the impact on this plane as much as possible, for, as an outsider and once a Godking, he knew all too well how essential it is to maintain balance and not arbitrarily influence the evolution of a plane.
So, in accordance with his plan, he helped Pretty Girl become the master of Jiali City, using it as a settlement to assist humans in establishing sanctuaries, and in addition, promoting migration overseas. Gradually starting from overseas, they began to establish their own nation for humans and then awakened their talents, allowing humans to have their own cultivation system and gradually gain the ability to defend themselves and continue to develop. In the future, they could become one of the masters of this world. As for himself, he would always protect humanity until it was time for his cultivation base to break through to Godking. Then he would leave this world with Pretty Girl and return to his own plane. As for this plane, he would come back later; the future was full of ways to help this plane grow, including his promise to the plane master. He had a very good plan.
But everything was destroyed by the brutal massacre of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. His kin could not die in vain, and in that instant, Tang San was thoroughly enraged.
"For the slaughter of four thousand seven hundred sixty-two of my people, in the near future, I will make the Monster and Fairy Clans repay tenfold, a hundredfold."

What the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox didn’t know was the cold-blooded and cruel price he would have to pay in the future. What he would face was a Godking’s meticulously planned revenge!
"You continue to stay here, I need to make a trip to Redemption Academy," Tang San said.
"Yes, my Lord."
The ground beneath his feet shimmered with silver light; the distance from the Golden Valley to Redemption Academy wasn’t far, and teleportation was a matter of an instant.
Tang San was more than familiar with the coordinates of Redemption Academy. When he reappeared, he was already outside the walls of Jiali Academy. To avoid being noticed, he chose this place.
Standing outside the rear wall of Jiali City Academy, he felt a measure of peace as he was embraced by the familiar academy.
He looked up towards the back mountain.
The back mountain of Jiali Academy was actually a small town where many humans lived, which had always existed to serve the academy. And Redemption Academy was located further up the mountain, at a higher elevation. It was here that Tang San had his first stable residence where he was able to grow.
In fact, it had been a long time since he last returned here, and now that he was back, his heart ached with painful and complex emotions.
But as he looked up at the academy town at that moment, he couldn’t help but be slightly astonished.
The academy town was clearly much livelier, much busier than before. From Jiali Academy’s perspective, the town was bustling with activity, and even from his position, he could faintly hear the sounds coming from the town. Moreover, the scope of the town had clearly expanded quite a bit, stretching all the way into the Jiali Mountains.
The people here were all human.
Seeing this scene, Tang San’s originally sorrowful and downcast mood suddenly improved a bit. There were still so many of his kin here; at least they were all still alive.
Without pause, Tang San quickened his steps up the mountain, heading towards the town.
Perhaps because he was human, but when he entered the town, no one stopped or questioned him, simply allowing him to walk into the town.
The town was bustling with extraordinary activity, and everyone seemed to be very busy. Everywhere there was the aroma of food; it turned out it was almost dinner time.
Passing through the town, Tang San headed towards Redemption Academy, meanwhile releasing his divine consciousness, searching for familiar presences.
Soon, he sensed something, a glimmer in his eyes, and he hastened his pace.
