Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 989 - 987: Legacy of the Human Emperor

"Thanks to the outstanding weapons he crafted, he gradually amassed considerable wealth. To forge even better weapons, he began collecting blood from various powerful races to blend into his forging process. As a result, he created weapons with more spirit and might. However, due to his own lack of strength, there were limitations, and he was unable to craft truly powerful beings. Unwilling to accept this, he later discovered a special alloy. Once he accidentally refined this special alloy, he found that after it absorbed certain blood, it could temporarily absorb and release the bloodline powers of the race that the blood belonged to. Although the powers were significantly weaker, they indeed retained their distinctive properties. In order to use the abilities of some powerful beings to forge better, he began researching this special metal, studying how to enhance and control the absorbing and releasing capabilities of the alloy. He continued this research for fifty years. After fifty years, he finally succeeded. Following his success, he used this special metal to create paper-like entities, then used bloodlines to imprint abilities onto them, allowing him to temporarily wield these abilities and aid in his own forging. Crafting a divine tool was always his dream. What he did not expect was that the paper he created was already the embryo of a divine tool."

"When he imprinted the abilities of hundreds of bloodlines onto such paper and tried to merge them, his life was sublimated by the alloy. The alloy acquired a breath of life, akin to a Spirit Monster becoming conscious, and in return, it gave him tremendous feedback, allowing him to ascend in one leap and become a Ninth Stage powerhouse."

"Only then did he realize the true significance of his research. Thus, he resolved to continue studying and perfecting his alloy. He himself possessed no bloodline talent, but the awakening of the alloy raised a pure form of energy for him, which could support him in manifesting various bloodline powers through this metal. As his research progressed step by step, so did his strength. With the multiple abilities of the Alloy Book Pages, he successfully passed the Tribulation and became a King. After another fifty years of research, he developed a system unique to himself, and ultimately, he ascended to Emperor in a single day."

"As everyone knows, one must overcome the Emperor Tribulation to ascend to Emperor. His Emperor Tribulation was surprisingly easy due to his lack of bloodline talent. By the time the Ancestral Court reacted, he had already succeeded in his Tribulation. When the Ancestral Court realized that a Human had become an Emperor, they were incredulous. Therefore, the Emperors of the Ancestral Court joined forces, and after three years, they finally captured him. They brought him back to the Ancestral Court and inquired how he achieved his ascension. He did not conceal anything and described the entire process in detail. His Emperor Sky Pillar was formed at that time. Although we know what he did, the alloy formula disappeared forever; he destroyed everything before being captured. In the end, he chose to end his own life, telling the Ancestral Court that all the secrets lay within his Emperor Sky Pillar and if one day someone could be recognized by his Sky Pillar, they would inherit his legacy. Because of that incident, the Ancestral Court conducted an exhaustive investigation of nearly the entire Human Race over the next ten years but never found another being with such extraordinary talent. Nevertheless, this truly was a human miracle, and his legacy is what you see before you on this Emperor Sky Pillar. Don't underestimate his power just because he had an easier Emperor Tribulation. An Emperor's power and the height of an Emperor Sky Pillar are proportional. Among the existing Emperors today, only four have a Sky Pillar that exceeds his height. You can imagine, then, just how powerful this once human was."

"We cannot be sure if this Emperor Sky Pillar will grant you the inheritance, but the Ancestral Court has decided to take advantage of this super auction to offer the Sky Pillar for bidding. The winner of the auction can come to the Ancestral Court at any time to attempt recognition by the Sky Pillar. Their clansmen can also try. However, the Sky Pillar must remain within the Ancestral Court. The winning bidder's race will become the only one that can seek recognition from the Sky Pillar in the future. So, what we are auctioning is a qualification. It's a complete Emperor's legacy, and once the inheritance is successful, becoming an Emperor is almost certain. But I must remind you all that, at least until now, no one has been recognized by it. We've tried, and Humans were no success. So, consider this carefully. Of course, the Ancestral Court can guarantee that the energy contained in this Emperor Sky Pillar is absolutely worthy of its height. The auction begins now, starting at fifty thousand Purple Crystal Coins, with each increment no less than a thousand Purple Crystal Coins."

Whether it was Tang San or Pretty Girl, sitting in the VIP room and listening to the introduction by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, their hearts were tumultuously stirred.

To think that a Human had once ascended to Emperor without any bloodline talent, which essentially meant relying on his own intelligence and wisdom to achieve the pinnacle. How incredible that was!

An ability that could be wielded without any bloodline talent—wasn't this exactly the legacy he had been searching for to pass down within the Human Race?

Tang San clenched his hand into a fist, then slowly relaxed it.
