Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

As she recovered her bearings, her memories returned—the memories of that terrifying tribulation.

He...

She recalled the final moments. She remembered how he had come to her side, standing with her to face the overwhelming might of the heavens.

They had used the Asura Sword’s intent to power the Mysterious Circles of Heaven, forcefully neutralizing the final strike of the heavenly tribulation. Their bodies were both baptized by the lightning tribulation. As the main target, she should’ve borne the brunt of the lightning, but in reality, it was the Asura Sword that had taken on the most. The sword light fused completely with her body, fully protecting her at that moment.

But Tang San, who was behind her, wasn't as fortunate. The Asura Sword wasn't present in its true form; its light and sword intent were limited. Although it blocked a significant portion of the lightning's power, some of it still reached Tang San. He was struck—or rather, he let himself be struck in order to dissipate some more of the lightning’s violent force.

The two were struck down into the sea, Tang San's life hanging by a thread. Mei Gongzi used the last of her strength to pull his charred body from the water before losing consciousness.

"No, no, he can't be dead…."

At that moment, a familiar voice sounded. "Little Mei, you're awake? That's great…. You really, really scared Mom…."

Mei Gongzi found herself enveloped in a warm embrace.

She looked up to see her mother's tear-streaked face, now overflowing with tears as she held her tightly.

Of course, she had to inform her mother about her tribulation. The Peacock Great Demon King assured Su Qin that Mei Gongzi's tribulation would be easy and that he would watch over it. Thus, Su Qin waited at Mei Gongzi's residence for their return. Mei Gongzi had won the Ancestral Court Elite Competition, so in Su Qin's eyes, her daughter's tribulation should have gone without any problems.

When she saw the tribulation clouds over the distant sea from Kali City, she felt as if an ice thorn stabbed her heart. But by then, that sea area had become a forbidden zone. Even Great Demon Kings dared not approach, so all Su Qin could do was wait anxiously by the shore.

When the final lightning appeared, dying the entire sea golden, Su Qin had nearly despaired. Could such heavenly power be resisted by mortals?

She was a god herself, and she had naturally undergone tribulation. But what was the lightning tribulation she’d faced compared to this one? Nothing but children’s play. Why was her daughter's lightning tribulation so terrifying? Was it because she had first-tier bloodlines?

At that moment, her mind went blank, and she felt deep regret. Her daughter was her everything. If something happened to her, she wouldn't be able to live on.

When the lightning tribulation ceased, Su Qin stared blankly at the sea. To her surprise, it didn't take long for the Peacock Great Demon King to appear before her with her daughter and a piece of "charcoal." Seeing the ecstatic expression on the Peacock Great Demon King's face, she felt immense relief. And indeed, after checking, she found that her daughter was unharmed, and had successfully undergone tribulation.

That day, she stayed by her daughter's side, not leaving for a moment, fearing something might happen to her.

"Mom!"

Mei Gongzi's delicate body shivered as she hugged her mother tightly. In her mind, she recalled the enormous golden beam descending from the sky, seemingly about to destroy the entire world. At that moment, even her steadfast heart had wavered. Could she really survive the heavenly tribulation? Could she truly withstand such might?

But the hand holding her wrist remained firm, and the aura behind her was steady. It was he who guided her once more through the Mysterious Circles of Heaven, and it was he who helped her bear the impact of that terrifying power.

"He... how is he?" Mei Gongzi's voice trembled as she asked, truly fearing her mother would bring bad news.

"You mean Tang San? He's still unconscious. He hasn't woken up yet," Su Qin replied gently.

"He's not dead, right?" Mei Gongzi tightly grasped her mother's hand, her beautiful eyes filled with hope.

"He’s not. We all thought he wouldn't survive, but his vitality is strong. It seems the injuries are mostly superficial. Although he has some internal injuries, they’re nowhere near as serious as it looks on the outside."

"It's good that he's not dead, it's good that he's not dead. Mom, where is he? I want to see him…. Please."

"He's right next door. Your father gave him the best spiritual medicine. But his appearance is a bit… Well, if you want to see him, you need to be mentally prepared," Su Qin replied.

Mei Gongzi's heart tightened, but she still nodded. No matter what, as long as he was alive, she had to confirm it. At this moment, she was even a hundred times more nervous than during the tribulation.

Su Qin observed her daughter with her divine sense and couldn't help but be secretly shocked. At this moment, Mei Gongzi gave her a strange, ethereal feeling, as if she herself was a gateway to infinite space. When Su Qin’s power touched her, what she sensed was an endless void.

She had heard from the Peacock Great Demon King about the difficulty of this tribulation. He had been extremely excited, telling Su Qin that Mei Gongzi had undergone an unprecedentedly powerful heavenly tribulation. Such a powerful tribulation meant that she would become extremely strong after it, far beyond any ordinary Demon King. He was now absolutely confident that Mei Gongzi could inherit the position of clan leader; no one in the entire Peacock Demon clan could stand against her.

Mei Gongzi couldn't care less about that, however. Led by Su Qin, she quickly left the room and went to the room next door.

As soon as she opened the door, she smelled a burnt odor, as if someone had forgotten the steak on the stove.

She quickly walked to the bedside, and when she saw Tang San's appearance, tears almost instantly flowed out.

He looked vaguely humanoid, but his entire body was charred black. His skin was completely carbonized, making his facial features barely recognizable.

He had become like this, all because of her, all for her!

He had given her most of his strength during the final, powerful lightning strike. His divine consciousness had infused into her sea of consciousness, and pushed the Asura Sword to protect her. Meanwhile, all the residual force of the lightning had fallen upon him.

Tears rolled down drop by drop as Mei Gongzi shivered. She squatted down to get closer to him, raising her hand to gently touch his wrist. She could vaguely feel his blood flowing; he was alive. But his current state was truly miserable.

"Your father gave him medicine but didn't dare move him. With injuries like these, any external force might cause secondary damage. But we can feel his bloodline origin is still there, and his vitality is very strong. Now it depends on his own recovery abilities. Little Mei, don't worry too much. He will be fine."

"Look at him, how can he be fine?!" Mei Gongzi was now crying uncontrollably.

Whether he was Asura or Tang San, at this moment, those two figures had completely merged in her heart. Since she met him, he had always silently supported her, giving selflessly without expecting anything in return. He gave her all his kindness, while he bore all the suffering.
