Chapter 765: Tang San's Fury

Compared to the domineering nature of demons and nymphs, no matter the plane or planet, humans were always more tolerant. While not entirely peaceful, humans never enslaved other races as casually as demons and nymphs did.

What he hadn’t expected was that the injuries from his tribulation caused him to enter such deep meditation for so long, leaving the human settlement outside Kali City unprotected, which ultimately led to this tragedy.

Over four thousand lives!

Red One and the other Crimson Fox girls all lowered their heads, and some of them couldn't help but cry.

They had all visited the settlement before. Its creation was a group effort, and they themselves had contributed. Everyone there was human, and they all worked together to build houses, construct docks, and set up shops. Everything was so orderly. Redemption Academy had established schools for children and young people, allowing more people to become literate and learn various skills. Even the elders listened outside the schools. Almost every member of Redemption Academy had become a teacher in the settlement.

Every day, people were busy, but though labor was as hard as it’d always been, their faces were no longer numb. Genuine smiles appeared as they worked hard for their future. The settlement was filled with warmth, and there was rarely any conflict. Everything was in such perfect order, everything was so beautiful....

For many humans, the word "home" only gained real meaning after they arrived at the settlement. It was only here that they truly had a home.

For the older humans, this was the reason they couldn’t bear to leave. Even if they were to die, they wanted to die in their own home. And Tang San knew all too well that "elders" and "the older generation" for humans were simply people over forty years old. In this world, it was rare for a human to live past forty.

They only wanted a home of their own, to live without oppression, without enslavement, to live off the work of their own hands! They had no lofty ambitions, no desire for power, just a simple wish to survive in peace.

But even such a simple request was too much for a mighty Emperor who sought to destroy humanity.

These were all common people! And yet the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor had still ruthlessly struck them down, without hesitation.

This was undoubtedly the most brutal warning—telling humans not to harbor delusions just because Mei Gongzi had become Lord of Kali City. To demons, the idea of humans having their own home was nothing more than a pesky delusion that ought to be strangled in the cradle.

Tang San did not cry. His gaze was terrifyingly calm.

"How are the arrangements for the aftermath?"

Red One lowered her head and choked out, "What arrangements? Most people left and were relocated to the mountains. Some stayed, hoping to be taken out to sea, but... everyone who stayed in the settlement is dead. There’s nothing but dust there. Since the tragedy, the docks have been destroyed, and the boats along the shore have been wrecked. No one has been transported out to sea since then."

"What about Redemption Academy?" Tang San asked again.

"They’re fine. The academy is near Kali Academy, technically within the bounds of Kali City, so it wasn’t affected. Kali City hasn’t responded, and the Peacock Demon clan hasn’t done anything. They only ordered that humans in Kali City not to go out without permission."

Tang San understood that this was the most protection the Peacock Demon clan could offer humans. In the face of Emperors, the Peacock Demon clan—who had never liked humans to begin with—couldn’t have intervened even if they had wanted to. This was the doing of two Demon Emperors.

Although the final outcome was not as grim as Tang San had initially expected, more than four thousand people still lost their lives.

At this moment, Tang San felt no guilt in his heart—only boundless fury and hatred.

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor undoubtedly believed in the old saying that those of a different kin are bound to have nefarious thoughts. And as far as humanity was concerned... wasn’t the feeling mutual?

Since reuniting with Mei Gongzi, Tang San had been reminding himself to minimize his impact on this plane. After all, as an outsider and a former God King, he understood all too well that maintaining a plane's balance and not disrupting its natural evolution was crucial.

Thus, according to his plan, he would support Mei Gongzi in becoming Lord of Kali City, using it as a haven for humans. Coupled with overseas migration, he would slowly establish a human nation, unlock humanity’s innate abilities, and help them create their own cultivation system. Over time, humans would develop the ability to protect themselves and gradually grow. In the future, they could become one of the leading powers of this world.

In turn, Tang San would protect humanity until the time came for him to break through to God King once again. Then, he would leave this world with Mei Gongzi and return to his own plane. As for this plane, he had many ways to help it grow in the future, and fulfill his promise to the planar ruler. He had a solid plan in mind.

But everything had been ruined, destroyed by the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor’s cruel slaughter.

Tang San’s face was calm, but his fury burned hotter than ever before.

You will be avenged. All of you who died here for no reason will be avenged a hundred times over. As for you, Celestial Fox...

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor thought he was merely exterminating some pests for the sake of warning the other pests. He had no idea of the price he was bound to pay in the future for his actions.

"Stay here, I need to head over to Redemption Academy," Tang San said.

"Yes, Master."

Silver light flickered beneath his feet. Golden Valley wasn’t far from Redemption Academy, and he teleported there in an instant.

Tang San was very familiar with the coordinates of Redemption Academy. When he reappeared, he was outside the outer wall of Kali Academy. He chose this spot to avoid being noticed.

Standing outside the wall at the back of Kali City, feeling the familiar presence of the academy, Tang San’s emotions gradually calmed down. He raised his head and looked toward the mountains behind.

Behind Kali Academy lay Academy Village, where many humans lived, serving the academy for years. Redemption Academy was higher up in the mountains, and it was the place where Tang San had found his first stable home, a place where he could grow.

He hadn’t returned here in a long time. Coming back now, his heart was filled with a mixture of pain and complex emotions.

But as he looked up at Academy Village, he was slightly taken aback.

Academy Village was clearly much more bustling than before. From his position at Kali Academy, the sounds of activity from the village were unmistakable, even faintly reaching him. The village had grown significantly, extending deeper into the Kali Mountains.

Humans, everyone here was human.

Seeing this scene, Tang San's previously sorrowful and downcast mood lifted a bit. There were still so many of his fellow humans here—at least they were still alive.

Without pausing, Tang San quickened his pace, heading up the mountain and into the village. Perhaps because he was human, no one stopped him or asked any questions as he entered the village; they simply allowed him to walk in.

The village was bustling with activity, and everyone seemed busy. The aroma of food filled the air, signaling it was time for dinner.

As he walked through the village, Tang San headed toward Redemption Academy, releasing his divine consciousness to search for familiar presences.

Soon, he sensed something, and his eyes lit up slightly as he quickened his pace.
