Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Leon was overjoyed and was about to agree when Uru suddenly stopped him and answered for him: "Ruilin, thank you for your kindness, but although we have long heard of the Qilin Clan, we are used to wandering and do not want to join any clan."

Ruilin nodded helplessly with a regretful look, gently patted Leon with his little chubby paw, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "That's really a pity. I think this brother's cultivation is not shallow, he is really very powerful."

Leon squinted and asked, "How did you figure that out?"

Ruilin, feigning profundity, gently tapped Leon's right arm with his wet little nose. "Look, there are runes here."

That was strange. Leon looked at his right arm, but without the reflection of the Soul-Stealing Talisman, there was nothing on his right arm at all.

Ruilin saw through Leon's thoughts and stuck out his tongue. "My eyes can see things that other gods and immortals can't. For example, I can see that you have two divine artifacts inside you. You are definitely not some minor god who wandered here."

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Leon glared at Uru, and Uru glared back without backing down.

Ruilin realized that he seemed to have created this awkward atmosphere, and he awkwardly touched his nose with his little paws.

“Um… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you,” Rui Lin’s soft voice rang out. “It’s just that there are quite a few people in this world who hide their identities like you. Although I have lived in the Gates of Hell for a long time, our Qilin clan still has a strong control over this world. There are indeed quite a few people like you. I was just a little surprised to see that you have two divine artifacts, so I told you.”

“There are many people like us who hide their identities. What do you mean? Have you encountered them before?” Uru asked.

Ruilin nodded. "There were even some that stumbled into our Gates of Hell by accident, but they were mostly driven out by the First Qilin. Only a few were able to stay."

Ruilin shifted to a more comfortable position and lay on Leon's lap. "Our clan leader is quite lenient towards these people and hasn't gone so far as to exterminate them. After all, these people haven't offended us, and we are very happy to have such a powerful person help us."

If it weren't for the sounds of the Qilin clan members nearby, getting closer and closer, Leon would have even thought that the two of them and their dog were going to continue living their idyllic life here.

Suddenly remembering something, Uru asked Ruilin, "You've been gone for so long, hasn't the First Qilin been looking for you?"

Ruilin smiled, shook his head, and said, "He doesn't care where I go to play. He knows I like to run around and cause trouble wherever I go when I come to a new place."

Chapter 924 Lin Zu's Scheme

"It seems like the Qilin Clan is coming," Leon said.

Just as he was about to leave with Uru, Ruilin stopped him.

Ruilin looked puzzled. "Where are you going? It's okay, they all know me, you'll be fine."

Uru patted Ruilin's head. "Since you know that we live in seclusion here, we naturally don't want many people to discover our whereabouts. How about this, the two of us will go ahead first, and then we'll decide on a location. If you want to come and visit us, you can come and find us when the Qilin Clan has nothing else to do. What do you think?"

As soon as Uru made the suggestion, Ruilin immediately nodded in agreement and even spun around happily on the ground. After saying goodbye to Ruilin, the two of them immediately set off.

"Do you think this is reliable?" Uru suddenly asked while searching for a hiding place.

Leon turned his head to look at Uru. "What's reliable?" he asked doubtfully.

“I’m telling you, Ruilin,” Uru said calmly, “Do you think he was just a simpleton who ran into us while having fun, or did the First Qilin already discover our whereabouts and send Ruilin to investigate us?”

Leon scoffed, "You're overthinking it, big sister. I think Ruilin is just a simple pet."

Leon chuckled and scratched his head. "Don't overcomplicate things. I feel that Ruilin genuinely came to visit us. There shouldn't be any major danger. Didn't you hear him say that Shi Qilin wouldn't go so far as to kill people like us?"

Uru was still uneasy. They found a secluded cave, and the two of them went inside one after the other.

"If we want to find the treasure of the First Qilin, we still need to rely on the Auspicious Qilin," Leon said, seeing that Uru was still worried.

"What can we possibly know by relying on the Qilin clan or those minor deities? In my opinion, they might not even know the clues to their own clan's treasures. Think about it: if a massive clan like the Qilin clan, capable of dividing the world into three, had even an ordinary minor deity knowing where their clan's divine artifacts were hidden, how could those artifacts possibly be safe?"

Leon rarely managed to convince Uru wholeheartedly. Uru nodded, "What you said does make some sense. Only someone like Ruilin, who has been with the Qilin Clan Chief for many years, could possibly get some information about the whereabouts of the divine artifact from him."

The place where the Qilin first appeared.

"How is it?" Shi Qilin asked Ruilin in front of him, squinting his eyes.

Ruilin was the only god who was intimately close to the First Qilin. At this moment, he revealed his true form, transforming into a humanoid figure with dog ears, and hopped to the First Qilin's feet.

"Of those two people, the man has two divine artifacts inside his body, and I examined his chest; they should be two artifacts with extremely strong divine power. It's possible that he really did inherit Hongjun's mantle. But that woman..." Ruilin hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The First Qilin usually doesn't interrupt the Auspicious Qilin.

"I really don't understand that woman. At first glance, she is indeed a minor deity with extremely strong abilities, even comparable to an immortal. But I always have a feeling that there is a more dangerous aura about her. She is probably a more troublesome existence than that man."

"More troublesome than a man with two divine artifacts hidden inside his body?"

While cultivating his divine power, Shi Qilin asked questions. Ruilin spoke very little in his presence, but every word he uttered carried weight. Shi Qilin never questioned the information gathered by his pet, who was also his good partner.

It can be said that Ruilin is a more reliable entity than Leon's main god system.

Chapter 925 System Reminder

Because at this moment, Leon was sulking with his main god system.

“Host, I still stand by my previous thought. I believe that Ruilin is very likely to be closely related to the artifact of the Qilin Clan, and Ruilin’s motives for coming to you are definitely not pure.”

The God System's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to Leon's analysis just now.

“Rui Lin is just a rather silly and cute little pet. He can speak human language because he has spiritual power, so what? Whether he has any ill intentions or not, we can still rest peacefully in this cave, right?” Leon brought over a pile of firewood.

The cave was dark and bottomless, but at this moment, neither Leon nor Uru were in the mood to explore it to the end.

The God System remained steadfast in its belief: "When Ruilin approached you just now, I detected that the two artifacts within your body resonated with you to varying degrees, as if they were echoing Ruilin. In any case, attracting Ruilin here to find you is definitely not a good thing."

Uru restrained the irritable Leon; it seemed neither of them had a good temper.

“Leon, calm down and think about it. If Ruilin is really as innocent and harmless as he seems, would the First Qilin feel comfortable letting him run off to play on his own? But the God System is also a bit extreme. Why don’t we wait and see, lure Ruilin over, and then see what tricks he has up his sleeve?” Uru patiently explained, and Leon reluctantly accepted the advice.

It's scary how people have absolutely no resistance to cute pets. Uru sighed.

Ruilin, who had been sitting quietly at the feet of Shi Qilin, watching Shi Qilin give orders to its people, suddenly perked up its ears and said, "Those two are beckoning me over."

When Leon and Ruilin parted ways, they agreed that once Leon found a place to stay, he would emit a specific sound wave to attract Ruilin's attention.

The cave where Leon and Uru were currently located was the one Ruilin had pointed out to them.

"You led them to the Seven Star Shattered Ice Cave?" Shi Qilin raised an eyebrow, clearly having also heard the sound wave, and his words did not hide his admiration for Ruilin.

Ruilin nodded.

who is he?

It's a divine artifact of the Qilin clan!

How can you really compare them to cute pets? That would be laughable.

"Heavenly Rank Battle Qi is only at the second level. You should go back quickly. If they try to harm you, send me a signal, or directly call Old Daoist Seven Stars to help you. He's been sleeping long enough." Shi Qilin rubbed Ruilin's head, laughed, patted his bottom, and revealed a meaningful smile.

Ruilin nodded confidently, took two quick steps, and streaked across the sky. He then transformed into the form of Leon's most vulnerable and adorable Samoyed, and ran towards the Seven Star Ice Shattering Cave.

Leon didn't wait long before Ruilin's adorable body appeared at the cave entrance.

"You've come?" Leon walked to the cave entrance, picked up Ruilin, and placed him on his lap after he sat down.

Clearly, the God System remains silent when Ruilin is around; the two are like antagonists, or perhaps the God System is still sulking with Leon.

Sure enough, spending too much time with Leon makes everyone develop this irritable and easily angered temper. Uru shook her head helplessly, because she felt she was becoming increasingly neurotic herself.

Chapter 926 Uru's Other Identity? The Real Mastermind

Ruilin wagged its tail and said in a childish voice, "Chief Qilin is busy building a new home. Our original dwellings were all inside the Gates of Hell, and it's been almost several hundred years since we've come out to see them."

Leon stroked Ruilin's soft, comfortable fur. "How come I remember that the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan all gradually grew stronger after Hongjun was born and spread his teachings?"

Ruilin smiled and shook his head. "That's not the case. It's just that we were living in seclusion before, and those minor gods who recorded history didn't have enough divine power to find us. Our Qilin clan lives inside the Gates of Hell in Kunlun Mountain, and occasionally a few high gods or immortals will come out. The Dragon clan has always lived in the East Sea, and as for the Phoenix clan... we haven't heard from them yet. I guess they're living in seclusion somewhere, just like us."

Leon glanced at Uru. It seemed that the Phoenix Clan and the others could not be pursued for the time being. The Dragon Clan's artifact, the Dragon Scale of the Ancestral Dragon, was something they could try to obtain. However, the most urgent task was still the Qilin Clan's artifact.

Uru pretended to be nonchalant and asked curiously, "Then, I've always heard rumors that large clans like yours have treasures to offer as sacrifices, supposedly divine artifacts or something, to the clan leader or other high gods and immortals to cultivate spiritual and divine power. Is that true?"

Ruilin sneered inwardly. He had finally lost his temper; the fox's tail had been revealed.

"Well... I don't know, but our clan leader should know about these things. If you want to know, I can take you to see my clan leader."

Ruilin, with its harmless and adorable demeanor, wagged its tail in a friendly gesture.

That's why Leon was completely fooled by Ruilin's appearance. He was about to agree when Uru interrupted him.

“That’s not quite right. We are just wandering minor gods, with no interest in vying for divine artifacts. We are probably not fortunate enough to meet the patriarch of a great clan,” Uru said with a smile.

Ruilin didn't insist. Of the two, although Leon appeared to be the leader, it was clear that the one making the decisions was this woman.

"By the way, I still don't know your names."

Leon immediately replied, "My name is Leon, and that woman is Uru."

However, to the surprise of both of them, Ruilin jumped up in shock upon hearing the name Uru.

"What did you say? You...you're called Uru?"

Ruilin stared wide-eyed in disbelief. He knew this woman was no ordinary person, but he never imagined she was such a powerful behind-the-scenes boss!

However, she seemed to remember nothing.

Uru was a little confused. "Me? I really am Uru. What's wrong?"

Ruilin immediately regained his composure, his earlier agitation gone. He coughed awkwardly twice. "It's nothing, I was just startled. There was a traitor in our tribe before, also named Uru. He was executed and thrown outside the gates of hell, but at the time we weren't completely sure if he was alive or dead."

Uru suddenly realized, "That can't be me. I'm just a tourist here."

Ruilin appeared unmoved, but his heart was in his throat.

No, he had to tell the First Qilin this news immediately: the Heavenly Sage Uru from the previous reincarnation had actually appeared in this life! And right in front of them!
