Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

With that in mind, if he wanted to attain divinity here and regain his status of God King, he had to devise a strategy..

Zhang Haoxuan was naturally going to survive. He had been blessed by the Celestial Fox Vision and with Tang San's timely rescue, he had been able to cross his tribulation. Although he was affected by the three lightning bolts just now, his divinity had only deepened, as if he had undergone a further baptism. While he was injured, he would eventually emerge stronger.

However, at this moment, Tang San did not dare to utilize the life energy from the sea to replenish his master’s energy, as activating his divine consciousness was too dangerous. The tribulation clouds had yet to completely disperse, so caution was paramount.

Therefore, he could only drag Zhang Haoxuan, swiftly swimming underwater back in the direction they had come from. He did not dare to surface.

The marine creatures in the sea watched from afar, not approaching. Tang Sanhad retracted his divine consciousness, but he still emitted a familiar and comforting aura. In addition, this part of the sea was shallow and close to the Daemon Continent, so there were no particularly powerful marine creatures present.

Swimming was much slower than flying, and although Tang San's speed in the sea was quite fast, it still took a considerable amount of time before he finally managed to drag Zhang Haoxuan ashore.

Lying on the beach, listening to the echoing sound of the waves, Tang San was so exhausted that he did not even want to lift his fingers. After all, he was still only at the eighth order, and even with the vitality of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, he could still get tired.

Zhang Haoxuan remained unconscious, but his body instinctively absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself. He was overly exhausted and needed ample time to recover. The best course would be to return to Golden Valley to recuperate, but Tang San was physically drained and needed to rest first.

At this moment, his mind was exceptionally clear. He recalled the entire process of Zhang Haoxuan breaking through to the god level. It was nothing more than the power of the plane testing him.

In Tang San's perception, this tribulation was much simpler than those he had faced in the Douluo Continent. When he was ascending to godhood, he had faced countless difficulties and challenges far beyond the scope of a heavenly tribulation. Of course, this was also related to the high status of his godly seat. Ultimately, after great efforts, he had become a god, a part of the divine realm.

In Tang San's view, becoming a god in this realm, or at least reaching that level of cultivation, was actually easy.

In this plane, once a being reached the peak of the ninth order and triggered a tribulation, the chances of surviving the tribulation were actually quite high. Zhang Haoxuan was human, and humans' physiques were significantly inferior to those of demons. Even so, with sufficient accumulation and preparation, even without Tang San here today, he still would’ve had an eighty percent chance to pass the tribulation.

This meant that the planar ruler supported the advancement of the plane’s beings, not only to protect the plane but also to facilitate its evolution.

If this plane truly wished to ascend to the level of a divine realm, the most crucial aspect was a transformative breakthrough. Simply put, it required the emergence of a God King, like Tang San himself, or like his grandson Tang Xuanyu on Heavenly Dragon Planet and Heavenly Horse Planet. The latter had become a God King and ultimately the new Dragon God, establishing a divine realm with the twin planets as a foundation.

Purely from an energy level perspective, even the twin planets combined could not compare to Falan Planet, yet they had been able to advance and become a divine realm. Thus, the possibility of Falan Planet achieving this was even greater. Moreover it would not be just any ordinary divine realm.

So why had it not achieved this over so many years? What was the reason? It seemed there were some underlying issues on this plane. Otherwise, with such vast resources, there should have been no reason for it not to advance.

Various thoughts wandered through Tang San's mind; he knew he needed to understand all this to have a chance of transcending the tribulation and becoming a god.

Becoming a god was essential for him, not just for a longer life, but also to regain his former strength. Only then could he take his wife back to their world and reunite with his family and friends.

After resting for two hours, Tang San had fully recovered his strength. No longer feeling the oppressive force from the plane, he once again activated the Golden Roc Transformation, flying back to Golden Valley with Zhang Haoxuan.

When Zhang Haoxuan awoke from his deep sleep, the first things he felt were warmth and vitality. A rich life energy enveloped him, giving him a cozy feeling all over. Though he felt a bit too weak to exert any strength, he was very comfortable.

"Did I get struck dead?" Zhang Haoxuan mumbled bewilderedly.

"Master, you're very much alive," a familiar voice responded.

Zhang Haoxuan steadied himself and then saw Tang San and the others from the Shrek Squad around him.

He blinked, looked down at himself subconsciously, and saw that he was wearing a clean set of clothes, presumably changed by Tang San. More importantly, he seemed different.

"Did I… Did I succeed?" Zhang Haoxuan asked Tang San directly.

Tang San nodded with a smile.

At this moment, the mayor finally came to full consciousness, the excitement in his eyes undeniable. He had succeeded, yes, he had truly succeeded! He had ascended to the god level.

He immediately got up, sat cross-legged, and silently felt the changes in his body.

A faint golden halo instantly radiated from him, enhancing the warmth around him. His skin also took on a light golden hue, carrying a divine aura, which made the eyes of the Shrek Squad's members burn with fervor.

Ascending to godhood symbolized power, longevity, and the future. Even humans who became gods were highly sought after, should they choose to ally with powerful clans. For any demon or nymph clan, a god-level powerhouse was greatly needed, as it added to the clan's heritage.

Zhang Haoxuan had achieved the god level, which was quite a stimulus for them! Wu Bingji, in particular, was already at the eighth order, and he was getting closer and closer to that level. If the mayor could do it, so could he!

Behind Zhang Haoxuan, a golden light gradually coalesced, transforming into a lion entirely engulfed in brilliant golden flames, very much like a Golden Lion.

However, unlike Tang San's "romantic rival," the Golden Lion Dog, the golden flames around Zhang Haoxuan were tinged with crimson. They were not the Golden Holy Fire of the Golden Lion clan but a different type of flame that also possessed a special property like those granted by a golden bloodline.

The characteristic of the Golden Holy Fire was its ability to devour an enemy's power and convert it into its own. On the other hand, the golden-crimson flame that Zhang Haoxuan produced seemed to focus on pure heat, and they felt hot enough to even incinerate spiritual power.

Now that he had reached the tenth order, Zhang Haoxuan’s bloodline had also evolved, and it was now at the second tier. Although there was still a gap between it and the pure bloodline of the Golden Lion clan, it still made him stronger than the average lion demon who had reached the god level.

This was directly related to Zhang Haoxuan's gradual buildup and enduring an extraordinarily powerful tribulation he should not have faced.

"The mayor has reached the god level! That's awesome; I can't wait till I get there too," Du Bai said enviously as he gazed at Zhang Haoxuan.

Gu Li scoffed and said, "Have some self-awareness. Even if I became a god right here and now, you still couldn't make it."
