Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

For humanity to rise in the future, standing in opposition to all the demon and nymph races was impossible. Humans were too weak, and most importantly, they lacked their own inheritance, relying on the Demonic God Transformation to gain some abilities. Trying to rise among many powerful races and gain their own space was a foolish dream. But if others, especially strong ones, supported them, it would be much easier.

This was indeed a path forward! In fact, it aligned with what the Redemption Society had always wanted to do, precisely the plan that led to Mei Gongzi seeking to inherit the throne of the Peacock Demons. Undoubtedly, Mei Gongzi's bid to become the clan leader of the Peacock Demon clan was tough. Although she had gained the recognition of the Peacock Great Demon King, she would still face numerous challenges in gaining acceptance from the entire clan and the Ancestral Court.

But the Lion-Tiger clan was different! The Lion-Tiger clan was related to both the lion and the tiger races. Although they faced rejection from both races, the fact that neither the lion nor the tiger races had exterminated them showed that blood was thicker than water. If the Lion-Tiger clan could prove that their "halfblood" people were superior to lions and tigers, they might be able to turn things around. This would be something the Ancestral Court would not reject. It might even be easier than Mei Gongzi's efforts with the Peacock Demon clan. After all, the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint was a pureblood demon, and he was incredibly strong at that.

Seeing his master clearly entertaining the idea, Tang San quickly said, "Let's take it one step at a time and adapt as we go. The best-case scenario is what we've imagined, but even if it doesn't work out, we'll still have the friendship of the Lion-Tiger clan."

Tang San didn't worry at all about whether the future friendship with the Lion-Tiger clan would last. Without him, the Lion-Tiger clan wouldn't be able to resolve their bloodline conflict within even a few centuries, much less a few weeks. The bloodline conflict would naturally fade as they reproduced and the mingling bloodlines reached stability, but that was many generations in the future. If they wanted to do it now and ensure their survival, they needed Tang San's help. This kind of relationship was rooted in the deepest biological need—the need to survive, and if anyone wanted to harm Tang San, the Lion-Tiger clan would absolutely stand in his defense at all costs.

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "So that’s what you had in mind when you bid for the God-Slaying Sword. Beautiful, I have to say! If this succeeds, I'll report your achievements to the organization. Tang San, I'm really starting to see hope in you."

Tang San said, "Don't say that. As humans, it's our duty. These are things we should and must do. We're just working in this direction. And speaking of that, there's another clan that we might possibly win over."

"Oh?" Zhang Haoxuan perked up. "Another one? Which clan? Even if it's a small clan, we should try. Every little bit helps."

Tang San nodded. "It's a small clan; they are almost on the brink of extinction, which in fact is also our opportunity. This clan is related to the eldest senior brother."

Tang San nodded to him and then turned back to Zhang Haoxuan. "Master, do you remember the Throne of Frost at the end of the rare items auction? Later, the Ice Maiden clan leader canceled the auction and left with the Throne of Frost."

Zhang Haoxuan nodded. "Of course, I remember."

Tang San said, "Well, the Ice Maiden clan leader's name is Huang Bingbing, and she's waiting in my room right now."

He then briefly recounted his conversation with the Ice Maiden clan leader, detailing the plight faced by the Ice Maiden clan.

The fact that he originated from the Ice Maiden clan was something Wu Bingji himself was not aware of. He knew that he had inherited his bloodline from a nymph with the ice attribute, but he actually had no idea about his own parents. Hearing Tang San's explanation, he realized that it wasn't his father who was a nymph as per usual, but his mother who was an Ice Maiden.

This revelation made his expression turn strange. All along, he had harbored hatred for the demons and nymphs, like other humans, because of the common issue of their mothers being violated. But now, it seemed that his case wasn't that tragic.

When the Redemption Society found Wu Bingji, he was an orphan who had naturally awakened control of the ice element. He was an outstanding talent among the younger generation. He was later sent to Redemption Academy in Kali City, where he grew up under the care of the teachers and became a disciple of Guan Longjiang. He never delved deeply into his background, just like everyone else, because they were all orphans and mostly tragic figures.

But after hearing Tang San's story today, Wu Bingji realized that he was in fact completely different from the others. This was a shocking revelation and gave him a strong urge to uncover the mystery of his origins.

Sensing his senior brother's rapid breathing, Tang San said, "Clan Leader Huang Bingbing is still waiting in my room, hoping to see if you really have inherited the Ice Maiden bloodline. And if you want to advance your cultivation further in the future, it will depend on the Ice Maiden clan. If we can get the Ice Maiden clan to agree to intermarry with humans to produce offspring, this clan will undoubtedly stand with us. Clan Leader Huang Bingbing mentioned that although the Ice Maiden clan is weak, they still have over twenty members at or above the tenth order. This is a formidable force."

Tang San explained his thoughts clearly. Wu Bingji's expression was complex, but Zhang Haoxuan's excitement grew. Upon hearing that there were over twenty god-level Ice Maidens, he clenched his fists in exhilaration. If humans could assimilate such a clan, it would immensely benefit humanity.

This was different from the Lion-Tiger clan. Even if the Lion-Tiger clan recognized humans as allies, intermarriage with humans would be impossible. Humans might gain their support, but not much else. However, the Ice Maiden clan was another matter altogether. If they agreed to intermarry with humans, it would mean that humans could legitimately inherit the Ice Maiden clan's bloodline and possess the Ice Nymph Transformation.

In other words, women did not have to sacrifice themselves and procreate with other races to produce offspring with a Demonic God Transformation. This was a game-changing development! In Zhang Haoxuan's mind, winning over the Ice Maidens that had a similar physical structure to humans was even more important than the Lion-Tiger clan.

"Hurry, hurry, don't keep the clan leader waiting. If you need me to participate, I can join as well," Zhang Haoxuan said eagerly.

"You can't go!" a somewhat anxious voice suddenly called out. Everyone turned in surprise to see Cheng Zicheng standing up quickly, grabbing Wu Bingji's arm.

Feeling everyone's curious gazes, Cheng Zicheng's face turned bright red. But she still looked at Wu Bingji and said, "You can't go, eldest brother. I won't let you go!"

Tang San, ever perceptive, immediately understood what Cheng Zicheng was worried about. He felt a pang of regret for overlooking his senior sister's feelings. He quickly explained, "Don't worry, senior sister. I'm asking senior brother Wu to go because he has to prove to the Ice Maiden clan leader that the offspring of humans and the Ice Maiden clan can inherit the bloodline and become very powerful. It's not to arrange a marriage. Rest assured, if the Ice Maiden clan wants to intermarry in the future, the Redemption Society has plenty of candidates. It won't be the eldest senior brother."

Cheng Zicheng turned her head away and said, "Marriage alliances have nothing to do with me!"
