Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 861 - 859: Blue Gold Council of Elders
Chapter 861: Chapter 859: Blue Gold Council of Elders
The Great Elder did not wish to confront Jin Miaosen, but before completely devouring the power of the Tree Ancestor’s true form, it dared not. For the Tree Ancestor’s mighty protective abilities were enough to cover the entire Jianmu City, and as long as within Jianmu City, Jin Miaosen would be most protected. It also dared not directly face the power of the Tree Ancestor’s true form.
Now that Jin Miaolin had returned, and even ascended to the rank of the Great Spirit King, this was something the Great Elder had never anticipated. As Jin Miaosen said, under the brilliance of the Tree Ancestor, being fellow Great Spirit Kings, although it did not know Jin Miaolin’s current cultivation base, it also had no confidence in winning.
Tang San had been quietly observing all along, undoubtedly witnessing a grand drama. And he happened to arrive just in time. Since he had encountered this, why not take part in it. After all, it had no hurt against him, and, the life force and life rank of the Blue Golden Tree Clan were so peculiar and extremely interesting! It was of great help to him too.
At this moment, faced with Jin Miaosen’s questioning, the Great Elder’s expression gradually calmed. It gazed coldly at Jin Miaosen, then glanced at Tang San beside him, and said solemnly: “You are right, the Tree Ancestor’s origin should indeed be inherited and protected by the direct bloodline descendants, but, Jin Miaolin has left Jianmu City for many years, and the first thing that needs to be verified is his identity. Moreover, the inheritance of Tree Ancestor’s origin is of great importance, it’s not just something you can decide as a bloodline successor, nor is it something I can decide either. Have you considered the feelings of our clansmen by impulsively triggering it alone? This matter requires convening the Council of Elders to verify Jin Miaolin’s identity and simultaneously decide whether he should inherit.”
These words spoken were so impressively formal. The other two Elders following him also nodded in agreement.
Jin Miaosen coldly said: “A public decision? The Council of Elders has always been your autocracy. What difference does a public decision make from your own decision? The recognition of Tree Ancestor’s origin is the greatest endorsement, it is the will of our ancestors.”
...
She clearly understood that the result of the public decision would never allow her sibling to inherit the Tree Ancestor’s origin. Now that the Tree Ancestor’s origin returned after her father’s death, this origin’s power was like a continuous nourishment for all Blue Gold Clansmen. The higher their cultivation base, the greater benefits they reaped. Moreover, the Great Elder had been using various methods to trigger the Tree Ancestor’s power, reaping benefits quicker from its increased dispersion. Although the other Elders didn’t profit as much as it did, they still continuously benefitted, binding the entire Council of Elders to a chariot of interests. Under such circumstances, how could anyone support her and her brother? Once the Tree Ancestor’s origin was passed down, unless it was feedback after becoming an Emperor, the benefits for other clansmen would decrease. With calm revived, the Great Elder was clearly confident.
However, the Great Elder no longer paid attention to Jin Miaosen but turned to look at Tang San, and said: “For now, let’s assume you are Jin Miaolin. What do you say? If you really are Jin Miaolin, then here, Jin Miaosen does not have a say.”
Tang San looked at it indifferently, and said lightly: “Then let the Council of Elders decide.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Miaosen exclaimed in great urgency, “Brother, it cannot be. The Council of Elders is entirely its autocracy!”
Nevertheless, the Great Elder ignored her and immediately said, “Very well, as you say.” While speaking, it raised its hand and a blue-golden radiance shot into the sky, exploding into a huge blue-golden light shadow in the shape of the Tree Ancestor above. The gigantic light shadow bloomed in the air, its resplendent light expanding and bursting in the sky. The immense Blue Gold Tree under this light shadow became even more divine and majestic.
Jin Miaosen still wanted to say something, but Tang San gave her a reassuring look. For some reason, when she caught Tang San’s gaze, Jin Miaosen felt her heart significantly more settled.
Tang San’s mentality was, of course, different from that of Jin Miaosen, who did not realize that the “brother” he acknowledged did not care at all about the outcome of the Council of Elders’ decree. Tang San had already made up his mind: how could he leave the treasure mountain empty-handed?
He had already obtained the purest direct bloodline from Jin Miaosen of the Blue Golden Tree Clan. This bloodline could activate the power of the Tree Ancestor. Such massive, pure, and high-rank life force was extremely beneficial to Tang San. It was likely to help him elevate all his bloodline brands to the rank 11 level, and lay a solid foundation for his future breakthroughs. Thus, he would not miss this opportunity, even if it meant resorting to force.
The reason he agreed to convene the Council of Elders was to ascertain the true core power of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, and then decide his next move accordingly.
With the continuous enhancement of his divine consciousness, many things from his previous life also became clear. Faced with such a situation, he was very clear about how to maximize his benefits.
Jin Miaosen approached Tang San and gently touched him with a spike on his back, and Tang San conveyed a reassuring divine consciousness emotion to him. He no longer bothered with the elders, instead focusing his divine consciousness on the giant Blue Gold Tree, the avatar of the Tree Ancestor, opposite him.
The Blue Gold Tree gave him a feeling like it was the life spring source of this world, with pure and dense life energy flowing within it. It even made Tang San feel as though he was back in the Divine Realm. Although the life energy differed from the immortal aura of the Divine Realm, the purity of its energy was extremely special, giving Tang San a very unique sensation. It was a sublimation, a sublimation of life rank, and Tang San even sensed a hint of the nascent form of godhood.
He had seen powerful Emperors like the Crystal Great Demon Emperor and dominators who controlled fate like the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. However, compared to the giant Blue Gold Tree before him, they were still inferior in terms of life rank.
Therefore, he fully believed what Jin Miaosen had previously said: the once Tree Ancestor was one of the three ancestors of the Demon Monster Land. This might even be one of the original sources of power when the entire plane was first born! Such a high-level existence, if it hadn’t lost its divine consciousness origin, retaining only the life source, could even be considered as one of the fundamental elements of plane evolution. Sadly, becoming a true god was exceedingly difficult. It was not something an individual could achieve alone. To attain godhood in a non-Divine Realm, there were only two possible methods.
The simpler way, as Tang San had done when he became a god, was to rely on an existing Divine Realm, obtain a Divine Seat from within it, and imprint the ultimate godhood to break through the original plane and ascend to a higher Divine Plane.
The other situation was much more difficult: it involved driving the entire plane’s evolution. Only by evolving the plane to the level of the Divine Realm and elevating the whole world could the true godhood emerge. And then, it wouldn’t just be one godhood but many, and the driver would become the master of the entire Divine Realm.
This Blue Gold Tree, in terms of life rank, was comparable to the Eternal Tree on Tang San’s original Soul Land, which had evolved twice. The difference was that the Eternal Tree itself was under the protection of the Divine Realm, and its consciousness was always there. However, the Tree Ancestor seemed to have encountered some accidents during its evolutionary process, leading to evolutionary failure, or perhaps it had simply failed to find the right path and evolved solely, thus being influenced by the plane and merging with the plane.

In most planes, the so-called gods are just like the plane master of this plane. A plane master without a Divine Realm as a basis is merely a kind of subconscious presence of the plane, not a real intelligent life. They only have the instinct to maintain the plane, instinctively seeking benefits and avoiding harm for the plane. In such planes, if one’s cultivation base reaches beyond the Emperor level, that is, entering the god level, then there are only two possibilities: either truly create a Divine Realm or become a so-called god. These so-called gods seem to be higher-level life forms, but in reality, they merge with the plane, becoming a kind of subconscious existence.
