Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Ah!" she exclaimed, suddenly awakening from her focused gaze.

The Heavenly Mechanism Feather continued to dance around her delicate body, but the three feather eyes had returned to normal, as if what she had seen before was just an illusion. However, the visions she had seen and felt in those three feather eyes were so vivid.

Clasping the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand, Pretty Girl furrowed her brow slightly. What exactly was that?

The Peacock Demon King had once told her that as controllers of space, the Peacock Demon Clan originally possessed a powerful ability: to capture the workings of fate, which was the origin of the Heavenly Mechanism Dance. But throughout the history of the Peacock Demon Clan, the only one who could truly capture fate was the ancestor, the Great Peacock Demon, himself. The Great Peacock Demon had once said before his death that to capture fate, one must truly gain the recognition of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather. So now, had she gained its approval? Were the visions she saw in the three feather eyes the workings of fate?

With a thought, the next moment, she was outside the cave.

Outside the cave, the Peacock Demon King had been waiting for her inheritance to end.

When it saw Pretty Girl at this moment, its eyes immediately burst with intense light.

In that instant, the image of Pretty Girl it saw was ethereal, seeming to be a solid entity but also as if she did not exist in this world at all. Instead, she had become part of space itself.

"Have you succeeded? Passed the inheritance? How long did you last on the altar?" the Peacock Demon King asked hastily, somewhat beside itself.

Pretty Girl blinked, regaining her composure, "Quite a while."

"Yes! Yes! It must have been quite awhile, otherwise you wouldn\'t have gained the approval of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather. I only lasted one-fifth of the time before I was annihilated by space. According to my estimate, one had to last more than three-fifths to possibly gain the true recognition of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather and pass the inheritance. But even the best scenario among my ancestors was close to two-fifths. It seems that you really do have an extraordinary talent! No wonder at such a young age you have already begun to grasp the Heavenly Mechanism Dance. You used the Heavenly Mechanism Dance to endure the assessment, didn\'t you?"

Pretty Girl nodded subconsciously. She didn\'t reveal that she had actually passed all the tests. Before returning, her mother had told her to hold back some things from the Peacock Demon King, especially on critical matters. She didn\'t know why, but she fully trusted her mother. Since the Peacock Demon King didn\'t ask, she decided to act according to what he said.

"Did you see anything from the Peacock feather? The ancestor once said that the first time one perceives fate during the inheritance would be the clearest. At least one could see a glimpse of the future from a feather eye."

One, not three? Pretty Girl thought to herself, but still followed the Peacock Demon King\'s words and said, "Mm, I saw myself dressed in splendid attire standing high above, with many worshippers below."

Upon hearing her words, the Peacock Demon King\'s eyes brightened, "Good, good, good, haha! It seems, my child really does have the potential to become an empress in the near future. Our Peacock Demon Clan, a renaissance is hopeful, a renaissance is hopeful indeed! You must have broken through to the Ninth Stage, right?"

Pretty Girl was startled and then realized her cultivation base. Indeed, she didn\'t know when, but her cultivation base had skyrocketed a great deal; she had already stepped into the Ninth Stage. Not only that, the bloodline power within her had unknowingly transformed into translucent white gold, and her entire bloodline seemed to have undergone a world-shattering transformation. Her affinity with space was as if she had become a part of space itself.

...

Her thoughts returned, and Pretty Girl had already returned to her residence.

On the way to the Ancestral Court, it was always the Peacock Demon King who had transported her through space, while she herself was constantly feeling the changes in her body. She could now basically grasp the space variation after her bloodline evolution. Her Peacock Golden Crown seemed to have turned back to gold again, only turning into the platinum color from before when she used the Heavenly Mechanism Feather.

Regarding the battle today, she had to admit that her opponent wasn\'t very strong. Even a member of the Golden Family from the Fox Tribe had limited combat capability. Moreover, the illusions and tricks of the opponent were nothing but a joke in front of her, a controller of space. There was no reason for her to be proud of defeating such an opponent.

That day, she only told the Peacock Demon King about one of the situations she saw among the three Mechanism Eyes. Without a doubt, the first Mechanism Eye was a sign that she could become the future patriarch of the Peacock Demon Clan, even the new Peacock Demon Emperor. But what did the second and third Mechanism Eyes signify?

The second Heavenly Mechanism told her that there would be a blue figure dancing alongside her in the future, becoming her companion, or perhaps...

Who was this person? Judging from that figure\'s appearance, it must undoubtedly be a human, and even if she were to choose a partner in the future, it would certainly be a human!

Who was he? Where was he?

And the third Heavenly Mechanism, which she hadn\'t been able to truly see but only caught a glimpse of the destructive dark red, what did that omen portend? The existence of that Heavenly Mechanism always weighed heavy on her.

On the way here, the Peacock Demon King told her that even for the Peacock Demon Clan, which possessed the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, trying to glimpse the Heavenly Mechanism was not an easy task, requiring a great sacrifice, sometimes even life force as a price. It was because of trying to glimpse the Heavenly Mechanism that the ancestor, the Great Peacock Demon, had his lifespan affected, becoming one of the shortest-lived among the Great Demon Emperors.

However, when she became a God in the future, the Heavenly Mechanism Feather would resonate, giving her the chance to glimpse the Heavenly Mechanism again. This was true for every major advancement.

To see the Heavenly Mechanism clearly, she would have to wait until her next breakthrough, when she reached God Rank.

He had grown stronger too! She had watched the Asura\'s match today, yet she hadn\'t understood it. Just like most people. But she believed it was definitely not a staged match. With the status of the Golden Mammoth Tribe, how could they possibly collude with a human to stage a match?

She should thank him for being able to pass the bloodline inheritance assessment of the Peacock Demon Clan. It was certain that without the Destiny Stone and Time Variation Seal in the Crystal Mirror, even if she could have passed the assessment, it wouldn\'t have been in such a perfect state as before.

He was really good to her. She wondered if she could use the Heavenly Mechanism Feather to comprehend his Heavenly Mechanism, to confirm what his intentions were toward her.

Tomorrow, she would fight alongside him. Compared to one-on-one combat, teaming up with Asura made her a tad nervous.

This competition was actually very important for Pretty Girl, as it was the perfect opportunity to test her inheritance through the rigors of battle, and to better master it.

She hadn\'t seen him after the match because for some reason, she was a little reluctant to interact with him too much. And in her heart, there was always a figure that would often emerge, yet she had never been able to see him again.

Before leaving Jiali City this time, she had visited Jiali Academy once more, but still had not seen that guy named Tang San. Tang San, Tang San, why was it that every time she thought of this name, there seemed to be a special feeling in her heart?
