"I know the Lion-Tiger clan, and I have a good relationship with them. They’ve never been accepted by the lion and tiger races because they are hybrids. You yourself are a mutant and you’re not really part of any clan. You were probably seen as an outcast when you were born, right? Before you displayed extraordinary talent, was your life easy? I don’t think so. So do you truly believe you have kin in this world?

"I also believe that the tiger race found you many mates once you became strong, but even so, you have no powerful descendants. Moreover, the other White Tigers are all weak, and they are very few in numbers to begin with. There’s no real White Tiger clan; there’s just the White Tiger Demon Emperor and a handful of other unrelated White Tigers. You treasure Little Mei and Aunt Su Qin so much because they are your only true kin, your only true legacy. In other words, they are your only family.

"So if I told you that in the future, I will take them away from this plane to a higher-level plane where immortality is possible, and I can bring you with us, would you be willing to go?"

The White Tiger Demon Emperor was stunned by his words. "What nonsense are you spouting? There's no such thing as immortality! A higher-level plane is just a fantasy. Falan Planet has existed for countless years, and many powerful beings have emerged, but who has ever touched a higher level? Do you think just because you have a transcendent bloodline, you can do it? Breaking through the limits of a plane is easier said than done!"

Tang San shook his head and said, "Facts speak louder than words. I will prove to you that what I'm saying is possible."

As he spoke, light and shadow appeared behind him. The glowing halo from his previous face-off with the White Tiger Demon Emperor reappeared, with the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor at the center and eight bloodline imprints surrounding it. At the same time, one of the imprints began to shine with a crystal glow, transforming into a figure in front of Tang San.

The figure had long, glistening crystal hair and a semi-transparent body, as though it was sculpted from pure crystal.

Mei Gongzi was now seeing Crystalline for the first time. The girl appeared to be twelve or thirteen years old and was extremely pretty, exuding an otherworldly aura.

"What is this..." The White Tiger Demon Emperor instinctively grew wary, his sharp gaze fixed on Crystalline.

Crystalline turned to glance at Tang San. "You know, you don’t have to go this far for humanity. After all, you can’t be considered fully human yourself, right?"

Tang San responded, "No matter what, I am always human. It’s precisely because I am human that I was able to reach that step in the first place."

Crystalline sighed softly. "Alright, I'm already on your boat anyway, so I have no choice but to help you. Hey, little tiger, don't you recognize your Grand-Aunt Crystal?"

The pupils of the White Tiger Demon Emperor shrank instantly. Despite his immense power and supreme status, upon hearing the words "Grand-Aunt Crystal," he instinctively took a step back, knocking over the tea table behind him.

Crystalline frowned and tutted like a disappointed auntie. "Tsk tsk tsk, still so reckless. Back then, I beat you for a whole month to fix this bad habit of yours. Yet here you are, still the same."

"You... you’re... are you really...?" The White Tiger Demon Emperor’s eyes were filled with disbelief, but in his heart, he had already accepted it. The title of Grand-Aunt was something he had only ever used when meeting her in private. There was absolutely no possible way other people would know something like this.

"What else? You think your grand-aunt is that easy to kill? I simply abandoned my original body and was reborn alongside this kid. You should believe what he says. You're just as lonely as I am. And while you're not that old yet, you've seen my fate. Sooner or later, you'll face the issue of lifespan too. Come with us."

The White Tiger Demon Emperor's eyes were filled with shock. Only now did he feel that he truly understood what was going on. Tang San's transcendent bloodlines and that terrifying tribulation—it was all brought about by Tang San and the Crystal Demon Emperor together! That made it easier for him to accept. Of course! Only a being like the Crystal Demon Emperor could cause such frightening changes.

She hadn’t died. His Grand-Aunt Crystal hadn’t truly died; she had been reborn and seemed to have merged with Tang San’s body. No wonder this kid had been able to withstand his attack earlier, even though he had just undergone his godly tribulation!

The White Tiger Demon Emperor's mind was in turmoil for a moment.

Tang San sighed softly. "I didn’t want to tell you this so soon, but I couldn’t control my emotions because of recent events. Your Majesty, you are Little Mei’s grandfather, so I’m willing to lay everything out for you. You don’t need to give me an answer right away. Little Mei will stay with you for now, and I will return to Kali City to clean up. I’ll come back for her later. During this time, I hope you can think things over."

If it had only been Tang San's words, the White Tiger Demon Emperor would never have believed any talk of another plane or immortality.

But with the appearance of the Crystal Demon Emperor, everything changed. Her status was extremely high in the hearts of all the Emperors. Almost all the Emperors had received favors from her, especially those of the Empyrean Dominion.

When the White Tiger Demon Emperor first became an Emperor, he did so by using killing intent, which often led to him losing control of his emotions. It was the Crystal Demon Emperor who beat him for a month straight, helping him stabilize his killing intent and making it controllable. This was the foundation of the Heaven-Crossing Earth-Piercing White Tiger Demon Emperor. Thus, in his heart, he held immense gratitude toward her.

This was also why, when the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor revealed that the Crystal Demon Emperor was the instigator of the tribulation, none of the Emperors present spoke a word against her. Her influence was simply too immense.

Crystalline glared at him and said, "What are you hesitating for? Do you think it's easy to get on this boat? You have no idea how much I sacrificed to get on board. Tang San is far stronger than you imagine. He's the most promising existence I've ever seen, known, or even heard of. As for how far his future will take him, you'll see. And if you decide you don't want to, at least don't stand in our way. I can tell you this for certain—if he decides to kill you, you'll die. Don't be fooled by the fact that he's only at the Demon King level; he can do it. Alright, I'm going back to sleep."

After finishing, she transformed into a crystal light and merged back into the halo behind Tang San.

In front of the White Tiger Demon Emperor and Mei Gongzi, she had at least refrained from calling him "Dad," or that would have completely shattered the White Tiger Demon Emperor’s world view.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor looked at Tang San completely differently. From what the Crystal Demon Emperor had just said, it seemed that this tribulation and the ensuing events had all been the work of this human, not the Crystal Demon Emperor herself. She hadn't explicitly stated it, but her admiration for Tang San was evident to all.

For a moment, his mind was in turmoil. However, the killing intent he’d been directing at Tang San had dissipated entirely.

Tang San turned to Mei Gongzi beside him and said, "You should stay here for now. Contact me if there's any danger, and I’ll come immediately."

"Mm." Mei Gongzi nodded and squeezed his hand. "If... if something really happens, please remember I’m still here." She understood the bond Tang San had with his companions, and they still didn’t know how many people had died in the human settlements, or who had died. If any of his friends or mentors were among the dead, Tang San’s emotions would surely be deeply affected.
