Fairy Tail: I Am the God

The old crane-like figure stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "Leon, do you remember how you came into this world?"

How did you come to this world? Leon was taken aback. You came here to cultivate!

The Main God System immediately reminded, "Host, I received the energy source of this world at that time, and I judged that the leakage of the energy source was intentional on the part of others."

Uru also received the message and asked in a deep voice, "So, you lured us here?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the highly wary Uru. He waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, "It's not a lure, it's a summons."

"Summoning?" Leon was completely baffled. "But because I conquered the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of the world, I was summoned to the highest level world?"

The old crane laughed so hard he almost fell over, then shook his head. Suddenly, a round talisman appeared in his palm. The old crane stepped forward and showed it to the two of them.

As soon as the old crane-like figure moved, the two other old men on either side immediately followed.

"Leon, does this pattern look familiar?"

Leon craned his neck to take a look and discovered that it was exactly the same as the tattoo on his right arm!

This was truly strange, and even the all-knowing and resourceful Uru couldn't help but become curious.

Leon felt a deep respect for the newcomers and immediately bowed, saying, "Gentlemen, I hope you will be so kind as to offer your guidance."

The old crane-man laughed heartily, “No need for such formalities. The reason you were summoned here is precisely because of this talisman.”

The golden talisman traced an arc in the air and landed steadily in Leon's hand. Leon picked it up and examined it carefully for a while, discovering that whenever the talisman approached his right arm, his right arm would shimmer with golden light.

Leon was completely stunned, because after cultivating for so long, he had never known that his right arm contained such a pattern!

Chapter 913 The Master of the World, The Great Dao is Simple

Uru was dumbfounded. "You tattooed this design on yourself? How come I didn't know?"

Leon, who was caught in the crossfire, hurriedly raised his hands in surrender: "I swear it wasn't me, I really didn't know I had this thing on my arm."

After studying each other for a while, the two finally turned their attention to the old crane-wielding man who was smiling silently to the side.

"Even now, I still don't know who you are, and I don't know how to use this talisman."

The old crane-like figure stood quietly with his hands behind his back. After a moment, he finally spoke: "You two probably haven't forgotten that you once reached the Primordial Realm and obtained the God-Slaying Spear, have you?"

Speaking of the God-Slaying Spear, how could Leon forget the Execution Platform Formation from back then?

"We had already fought with several ancestors back then, so why did we encounter the reincarnation of Pangu and the newly established Three Pure Ones the first thing we encountered upon arriving at this place today?" The old crane looked at the other two gods on the left and right.

Leon and Uru exchanged a glance, then both shook their heads, awaiting the crane elder's reply.

To be honest, when Leon opened his eyes in this world and Uru said it was the primordial world, he did have such doubts. However, after witnessing the grand scene of Pangu's tribulation and reincarnation, he simply assumed that this was a world where divine and spiritual power was stronger.

The old crane hesitated for a moment, then said, "Leon, the mark on your right arm is the mark left by the Soul-Devouring Spear when you last came to the primordial land in the third-level world to compete for the ancient artifact. In other words, you were chosen by the artifact."

A primordial wasteland in a level three world? Chosen by a divine artifact?

What exactly is this old man saying?

Finally, the old man standing to the left of the crane elder slowly stepped forward, his tone carrying a hint of coldness and chill, “The primordial world you visited was created by the gods of this world who refined their souls into elixirs and maintained it with their divine and spiritual power.”

"In other words, that world is nothing more than a mere illusion."

Leon was stunned. He never imagined that the world was merely an illusion, maintained by the gods using their spiritual power!

The old crane continued, "In the battle of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, several supreme gods of the primordial world suffered considerable injuries. But as it turns out, these injuries were worthwhile, and we have finally found you."

"Actually, the gods in that world are not the real gods themselves. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation you fought last time was just an arena in this world. They extracted a few strands of their souls and spiritual power and put them into that arena to guide the divine artifact and select that person."

The old crane-man spoke slowly, each word etched into Leon's heart.

So, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation he fought so hard for, and the Pangu Banner and Soul Devouring Spear he fought so hard for, were all just a illusory realm created by the Supreme God, with the purpose of selecting a person?

This is absolutely a huge joke!

As if he could read Leon's mind, the old crane-man suppressed his smile and slowly nodded.

"Leon, in the Three Realms and Six Paths, there are many, many people like you who can traverse countless worlds freely. Among these people, some are still relatively inexperienced and only wish to travel back and forth to experience the powerful energy of divine power. The person we are looking for, or rather, the person we have chosen for us with the help of divine artifacts, must be someone capable of shouldering great responsibilities."

Chapter 914 The Three Pure Ones Come to the Door

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Uru's eyes. "Capable of shouldering great responsibilities? What kind of great responsibilities?"

The three old men simultaneously turned their gazes to Leon.

"The Supreme Sage of the Heavenly Way".

"This golden talisman is the original form of the tattoo on your right arm. This tattoo was carved by the Soul-Devouring Spear. It was also the Soul-Devouring Spear that summoned you here."

"When the cycle of reincarnation began in this world, no supreme sage of the Heavenly Dao appeared, which led to great chaos in the Three Realms and Six Paths, and strange changes in the celestial phenomena. Whether in the realm of gods or the human world, all living beings suffered and the scene was tragic."

The three old men began to speak one after another.

The old man with the crane-like appearance became serene, completely abandoning his joking demeanor. He slightly clasped his hands in front of his chest, creating a mirror between the five people.

Leon peered into the mirror, and the mirror blurred, revealing a scene of an ancient battlefield.

Uru glanced at the battlefield and immediately recognized it, shouting, "This is the Battle of Zhuolu!"

"There were no real winners in this battle," the old crane's deep and resonant voice rang out. "The Thunder God, the Lightning Goddess, the Wind God, the Rain Master, and countless other deities all participated in this battle. It can only be described as a devastation of life and death."

Leon was a little confused. "How did we suddenly jump to the era of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor? We were just starting out..."

"You just saw the reincarnation of Pangu, didn't you?" the old man asked. Leon, his thoughts read, nodded.

The old man with the crane stroked his beard. "Actually, I also used the Illusionary Realm to let you see in advance just how tragic the battle between Yanhuang and Chiyou was. And we were also eager to find you, which is why we were able to advance the time and arrive before you ahead of schedule."

"Host, the energy contained in this mirror of the Void Realm is probably comparable to that of Pangu when he was reincarnated at the Execution Platform."

The God System quietly reminded Leon of something.

The old man with the crane looked at the old man standing to his right with his hands behind his back, whose expression remained unchanged.

Leon remained silent, but Uru suddenly realized, "So, you've advanced some time to get here, which means that according to the normal timeline, you haven't been reincarnated and appeared here yet. Could it be that the three of you are... the Three Pure Ones, the three supreme gods?"

After much deliberation, Uru concluded that the old man with the crane must be Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao). However, Leon was focused on his own thoughts and did not communicate with Uru, so Uru did not speak rashly.

The old crane-like man smiled but remained silent, clearly having guessed Uru's reaction. He neither denied nor nodded in affirmation.

Seeing the reactions of the elders, Uru already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. After all, an elder who could find the future Heavenly Saint and bring a golden talisman was probably not someone an ordinary god could possess.

Having traversed countless worlds and witnessed countless scenes of devastation, Leon's reaction was not particularly intense. However, after briefly considering the events that occurred in the main world and the contents of the ancient records, he realized that something was amiss.

"The system of supreme gods should only end with the creator gods like Nuwa who molded humans from clay and mended the sky. By the time of Yanhuang and Chiyou, it should have already been the starting point of Chinese civilization. How could there be countless supreme gods? I have seen scenes of gods slaughtering people everywhere in this war."

The old man slowly put away the illusory cloud of the Great Void Realm, his face filled with sorrow.

Chapter 915 Replacing the Heavenly Dao, Enforcing the Law on Behalf of Heaven

"This is the purpose of the God-Slaying Spear summoning you. We need a supreme sage of the Heavenly Dao with sufficient divine power to govern the Six Paths and myriad realms."

Is the Heavenly Way supremely holy?

Legend has it that he was the supreme and holy teacher who could control all gods!

The old crane squinted and said, "The Heavenly Dao Supreme Saint can freely absorb the abilities of other minor gods who are still cultivating, and can even absorb a few strands of the spiritual power and soul of a superior god to replenish his own divine power and spiritual power, perfect his divine status, and eventually become the Heavenly Dao Supreme Saint. He relies on this golden talisman."

The old man on the left chimed in, “Child, we know very well that you came here to cultivate your inner strength and continuously improve your divine and spiritual power. What we need is someone with supreme divine power who can continuously cultivate. This golden talisman can lend you a helping hand.”

The old man with the crane raised the golden talisman and squinted at it for a while.

"We are not originally from this time and place; we just happened to know about what will happen in the future, which is what just happened in the Illusionary Realm. The slaughter of humans by gods is the most tragic thing on this land. And the reason why all this happened is that the Supreme Sage of Heaven did not appear during the cycle of reincarnation."

The old man returned the golden talisman to Leon. Seeing the greed gleaming in Leon's eyes, the crane-like old man's brow furrowed. Seemingly somewhat uneasy, he whispered a few words to the other two gods and then repeatedly warned Leon.

"Leon, remember this. The duty of the Supreme Saint of the Heavenly Dao is to maintain peace in the Three Realms and Six Paths, between the divine realm and the human world. There must never be any instance of a supreme god participating in a war among humans. If you wish to become the Supreme Saint of the Heavenly Dao, you must be prepared for this. Also, this golden talisman cannot be misused. Every time you use the golden talisman to absorb the divine power of a supreme god, it will inevitably lead to the loss of your essence and blood."

Leon was clearly stunned. Blood essence? Wasn't that going to kill him?

The old crane-wielding man resumed his playful demeanor, unable to suppress a smile.

"But don't worry, as long as you cultivate diligently for a period of time, the essence blood you used will gradually be replenished into your body, and the divine power you gained will also be integrated into the Heavenly Rank Battle Qi within your body. Remember, in this world, the higher the level of Heavenly Rank Battle Qi cultivation, the stronger your abilities will be."

Despite the seriousness of the occasion, Uru couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Leon immediately glared at him.

"It's just essence and blood, don't worry about it. Don't forget how much you want to break through to the top."

After Uru's reminder, Leon suddenly remembered the matter at the top floor and hurriedly asked the three gods in front of him.

"Um, three esteemed gods, I have a question to ask you."

Leon earnestly sought advice.

The old crane-like figure stroked his beard. “I know you want to break through to the top. Right now, your cultivation is locked in a shackle, unable to make any further progress. Ultimately, it’s because you haven’t opened up your meridians yet.”

Leon was stunned. "The Ren and Du meridians? No way?"

The old crane shook his head. "Look at your right arm, Leon. That's part of your veins."

Leon turned his gaze back to his right arm. The golden talisman was currently in Uru's hands, being played with by him, so no markings were visible on his right arm.

"As you can see, once the golden talisman is close enough to your right arm, the veins in your right arm become visible. These veins are where divine power is stored. Only when these golden patterns appear all over your body can your veins be considered fully opened."
