Douluo Dalu 5 Rebirth of Tang San

Every word he said was dry, but it changed the Blue Gold Tree Clan, even affecting the Elf Continent.

The clansmen of the Blue Gold Tree Clan listened silently, afraid to miss any point.

"Jianmu City will not be surrendered because our clan is neutral; this is what the Ancestral Court agreed with me. Next, I will discuss with the elders and make preparations for settling down. The elders should also start to assess the current situation of our clansmen. I hereby declare that Jin Miaolin, as the direct bloodline heir of the Tree Ancestor, will be the Deputy City Lord of Jianmu City starting today. When I am in the Ancestral Court, she will preside over all affairs in the city. Soon, she will surely advance to the Great Spirit King. The clansmen remaining in Jianmu City should support her just as you supported me."

Tang San felt deep gratitude toward Jin Miaolin. If not for her, he wouldn’t have been able to win the War of Kings so brilliantly.

Previously, Tang San had promised Mei Gongzi to send Jin Miaolin back to Gali City as a temporary strategy. Now, as the son-in-law of Gali City, there was no longer a need for Jin Miaolin to return there. The foundation of the Blue Gold Tree Clan in Jianmu City needed someone to watch over it, and certainly, Jin Miaolin was the best choice.

"Brother, I don’t want to be separated from you," Jin Miaolin said tearfully, looking at Tang San.

Tang San smiled gently, "Silly girl, you are also the direct bloodline of the Tree Ancestor, and you must bear your own responsibilities and mission. One person’s strength is limited; only with everyone’s support can our clan truly become a strong one, no longer bullied by others. Entrusting Jianmu City to you for management is most appropriate."

Tears welled up in Jin Miaolin’s eyes, but she said nothing more. She had witnessed Tang San creating miracles. Just as he had said, she was also an heir of the Tree Ancestor, a direct bloodline descendant. She had to share the responsibility with her elder brother.

"Next, you are responsible for assessing the current situation of our clansmen. Record how many people are in each rank, their gender, and age in as much detail as possible. This information is crucial for our clan’s overall layout."

"Lastly, remember my words well. It’s not an exaggeration for our clan. In the future, I hope each elder and every clansman can gather like a single flame or spread like countless stars. Wherever you are, don’t forget that you are members of the Blue Gold Tree Clan. Everything you do should be done with consideration for our clan. With your efforts, you will gain respect in the cities you oversee."

Tang San’s words stirred up the people of Jianmu City. Everyone took to the streets, singing and dancing, releasing the excitement and joy in their hearts.

Jin Miaolin and the elders got busy counting the clan’s population.

Jianmu City is the foundation of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, and it must be well protected. The decision on how many people to send to other cities must be carefully discussed.

Fortunately, Tang San’s prestige was very high at the moment, so none of the elders came to him privately to choose their preferred city. They all awaited his final allocation.

With Tang San’s return, delegations that had arrived in Jianmu City earlier and those from the distant Tianwu Empire made the city livelier than ever before. Next was the matter of distribution.

According to the statistics, the Blue Gold Tree Clan currently has nearly one million members, but not all of them are of the Blue Gold Tree Clan lineage; most are of the lower-ranked Golden Tree Clan. True descendants of the Blue Gold Tree Clan bloodline number fewer than twenty thousand. Their cultivation advancements, however, are relatively rapid. As the primary bloodline under the Tree Ancestor’s radiance, they might not be skilled in combat, but their life energy level rises rapidly. As a result, the Blue Gold Tree Clan has many high-ranking members.

Besides the more than 40 existing elders, the Blue Gold Tree Clan has over 500 people at the Ninth Rank, comparable to any other strong clan. The rest are at least at the Seventh Rank, with lower ranks mostly among the Golden Tree Clan members.

After discussions in the Elder Council, they decided that Tang San would remain in the Ancestral Court, accompanied by four elders at the Spirit King level to handle daily affairs. Jin Miaolin would stay in Jianmu City as the Deputy City Lord.

The Great Elder would go to Tianyang City, the Second Elder to Tianhu City, and the Third Elder would follow Tu Anwu to Crystal City, thus placing the three Eleventh Rank elders.

Each elder would bring two peak Ninth Rank clan members along.

Other major cities would each be assigned one Spirit King-level elder and two Ninth Rank clan members.

Most Ninth Rank clansmen would stay in Jianmu City to cultivate. After all, being near the Tree Ancestor is most beneficial. Of course, the Life Tower at Blue Gold Palace under Tang San’s control is also an exception. Being with him is much like being with the Tree Ancestor. Fifty Ninth Rank clansmen would follow him to handle daily affairs at the Blue Gold Palace along with the four elders.

After the allocation, about 20 elders would leave Jianmu City, while another 20 would remain.

Crystal City, Tianyang City, and Tianhu City were the largest cities, so having three Spirit King elders assigned to them was fair, leaving no room for complaints from the other delegations.

They stayed in Jianmu City for a while longer, and after handling the affairs of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, they would escort the designated elders to their respective cities.

This day was of great significance for the entire Blue Gold Tree Clan. From this day on, the glory of the Life Tower began to shine on the Elf Continent. The influence of the Blue Gold Tree Clan began to expand exponentially.

Tu Anwu also bid farewell to Tang San, escorting the Third Elder and two Ninth Rank clan members back.

Jianmu City returned to tranquility. The Life Tower in Jianmu City began construction under Tang San’s unique design. It was built next to the Tree Ancestor’s true form, under its radiant protection. It would be one meter shorter than the Tree Ancestor as a sign of respect, and it would serve as the Tree Ancestor’s guardian.

As construction began, Tang San quietly set up a large teleportation array. He announced that he was going into seclusion, but in reality, he teleported away, traversing the Elf Continent from the far west to the far east.

He quietly arrived in the Golden Canyon.

Feeling the rich life energy in the Golden Canyon, Tang San found the real Jin Miaolin sitting under the Golden Tree, meditating. His complexion was rosy, showing significant recovery since he had arrived. However, recovering from the damage to his spiritual sea was no easy feat. The pure life energy was still helpful.

Tang San spoke to the Lion-Tiger Clan guards nearby. They informed him that Jin Miaolin spent most of his time meditating, barely moving.

The Lion-Tiger Clan also conveyed a message: because Da Miao had defeated the Golden Lion Clan’s mortal enemy in the War of Kings, avenging the previous Golden Lion King, the Golden Lion King decided to recognize the Lion-Tiger Clan as a royal clan. All lion clans recognized Da Miao as their King. He became the first Great Lion-Tiger King.

The Tiger Clan, having the White Tiger Great King above them, did not participate, thereby strengthening the bond between the Lion-Tiger and Lion Clans. After the contest, Da Miao went into seclusion to further refine himself and prepare to seek an opportunity to become a King in the future.

The number of Kings is currently abundant, but many of them are quite old. Therefore, everyone still has a chance.
