Resurrecting Tang Chen

Bo Saixi cried for a long time before forcing herself to calm down.

She helped Tang Chen sit down on a stone bench on the Sea God Mountain platform, then suddenly remembered something. "You... your great-grandson Tang San is on the island! I'll send someone to fetch him right away!"

She immediately turned around and called into the hall, "Someone come here!"

A Soul Master in yellow robes stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully.

"Go to Seahorse City and invite Tang San and his wives to Sea God Mountain!" Bo Saixi's voice was urgent. "Quickly!"

"Yes!" The yellow-robed Soul Master accepted the order and quickly turned to leave.

In the courtyard of Seahorse City.

Tang San was sitting cross-legged under an old tree in the courtyard, meditating. His breathing was steady and long, and he exuded a sense of peace that made him feel one with the earth.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.

A guard from Sea God Island dressed in yellow strode in, bowed to Tang San, and said, "Young Master Tang, the Great Enshrined requests your immediate presence at Sea God Mountain. He says... your great-grandfather has arrived."

Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, a look of shock and confusion flashing across them.

Great-grandfather? Tang Chen? Wasn't he parasitized by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and trapped in the Slaughter City? How could he suddenly appear on Sea God Island?

But he didn't ask any further questions. He immediately stood up and turned to Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling: "Bing'er, Lingling, come with me. Xiao Wu, you stay here to protect Yan Yan."

Xiao Wu nodded. "Don't worry, Third Brother, I'll take care of things here."

Without further delay, Tang San led Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling out of the courtyard and followed the yellow-clad guard, flying towards the direction of Sea God Mountain.

In less than five minutes, Tang San and his companions flew to the platform at the top of the mountain.

Then he saw that withered and aged figure.

Tang Chen sat on the stone chair, his back slightly hunched, his face withered, his eyes sunken, and his skin as pale as a crumpled piece of white paper.

Tang San's breath hitched slightly. He quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee before Tang Chen: "Tang San Tang Hao, pays respects to his great-grandfather."

Tang Chen looked at Tang San, a hint of relief and emotion flashing in his clear eyes.

"Good child... I didn't realize Hao'er's child was already so big." Tang Chen's voice was weak, but carried an indescribable gentleness.

Tang San raised his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked softly, "Great-grandfather, how could you...?"

Tang Chen slowly began to speak, his voice broken and intermittent, briefly recounting the events leading up to his awakening in the Slaughter City and his arrival at Sea God Island.

Tang San frowned slightly after hearing this.

He never imagined that Zhang San, even without the Blood Swan Kiss in this life, could still destroy the Slaughter City.

Moreover, the fact that Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo could severely injure the King of Slaughter when they joined forces shows that Bibi Dong's strength is close to Level 99.

"I... don't have much time left." Tang Chen looked at Bo Saixi, his voice growing weaker and weaker, "Being able to see you all one last time before I go... I'm already... very content."

Tang Chen slowly closed his eyes, his breathing grew weaker and weaker, and finally, with an almost inaudible sigh, his chest stopped rising and falling.

With Tang Chen's death, his Asura God Trial was considered a failure, and his Asura Divine Power dissipated. The Asura God could now search for a new Godhood Inheritance.

Bo Saixi, standing to the side, silently shed tears.

Tang San's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Tang Chen's face, which had once been powerful and influential but was now old and withered, and a thought flashed through his mind.

He stood up and turned to Bo Saixi: "Great Enshrined, I can revive him."

Bo Saixi abruptly raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Tang San: "What?"

Tang San glanced at Ye Lingling beside him and said, "Lingling and I possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. One of its skills is called 'Life Blessing,' which can revive a being who died within an hour."

A flicker of disbelief crossed Bo Saixi's eyes. "Resurrection? You mean... the real resurrection?"

Tang San nodded. "True resurrection. It can only be used a year after it's cast, and Lingling and I will be weak for about a month. But as long as we can save our great-grandfather, it's all worth it."

Bo Saixi's lips trembled slightly. "Don't worry, as long as Tang Chen can be saved, besides helping you complete the Divine Examination, I can protect you from any danger."

Tang San said, "Great Enshrined, you are too kind. My great-grandfather was my elder, and it is our duty as his juniors to resurrect him. I only hope that Great Enshrined can protect us until we become gods."

The Sea God Inheritance requires Bo Saixi to sacrifice herself, and Tang San is worried that Bo Saixi will be resentful and try to sabotage it.

Bo Saixi's body trembled violently, and she gripped the scepter tightly in her hand, saying firmly, "Rest assured, my wish has been fulfilled. To witness the birth of a new Sea God is the glory of my life."

Tang San nodded, no longer hesitating.

He and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, then stepped forward simultaneously and clasped hands.

Emerald green light surged from both of them simultaneously, converging and merging above their heads, quickly coalescing into a ten-meter-tall phantom—the incarnation of the Goddess of Life.

The goddess clasped her hands together in front of her chest, holding a bright green orb of light in her palms. The orb pulsed in her palms, radiating a warm and sacred aura of life.

Tang San and Ye Lingling's faces turned pale at the same time. Their life force was being drained away at an alarming rate and flowing into the illusory figure.

"Life Blessing!"

The two shouted simultaneously, and an emerald green orb flew out from the palm of the goddess's phantom, transforming into a streak of light that landed precisely on Tang Chen's corpse.

The moment the ball of light entered Tang Chen's body, a surge of immense life energy exploded from within, enveloping Tang Chen in a vibrant green light.

The light grew brighter and more intense, like a warm cocoon enveloping his withered body.

Tang San and Ye Lingling swayed simultaneously, their legs went weak, and they almost fell.

They felt as if their life force had been almost completely drained, their Soul Power had been exhausted, and they were extremely weak.

They forced themselves to look in Tang Chen's direction.

The emerald green light lasted for about a minute, then began to slowly fade.

After the light faded, Tang Chen's body underwent an astonishing change.

His withered skin became plump again, his pale face regained color, and his gray hair turned thick black again.

Tang Chen slowly opened his eyes, which were no longer cloudy but filled with a vibrant light.

He slowly sat up, looked down at his hands, and clenched his fists.

Feeling the long-lost, abundant power within his body, Tang Chen's lips curved into a smile, and then he turned to Tang San and Ye Lingling.

Tang San and Ye Lingling were already unsteady on their feet. They leaned against each other, their faces as pale as paper, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, their bodies trembling slightly, and they looked as weak as if they had just recovered from a serious illness.

Tang Chen quickly stepped forward, supporting Tang San with one hand and Ye Lingling with the other, his voice filled with barely suppressed gratitude and heartache. "Good child... good child..."

Tang San forced a smile, "Great-grandfather... I'm so glad you're alright..."

Before he could finish speaking, everything went black before his eyes, and his body went limp as he collapsed, but was caught by Shui Bing'er who was standing nearby.

Ye Lingling followed suit and also fainted.

Bo Saixi quickly stepped forward and took Ye Lingling.

Tang Chen and Bo Saixi immediately took the unconscious Tang San and Ye Lingling to the courtyard in Seahorse City and placed them on their beds.

When Xiao Wu saw Tang San's pale face, she panicked, but after hearing Bo Saixi's explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief and obediently stayed by the bedside.
