Fairy Tail: I Am the God

However, Leon didn't dare make a decision on his own and turned to ask Uru for his opinion. Uru, however, simply leaned against the wall and didn't respond.

Despite the pressure, Ruilin took two steps forward. "Furthermore, I'll secretly tell you something: after a while, once our Qilin clan has settled down, the First Qilin will inspect the entire Huicui Pavilion. If there are any outstanding minor deities, the First Qilin would very much like to recruit them into the Qilin clan."

Neither Leon nor Uru had any intention of joining the Qilin Clan, which Ruilin knew, so he added, "Being able to get close to the Primordial Qilin would give us a better chance to explore our clan's divine artifact. To be honest, even I am not entirely sure what our clan's divine artifact is or where it is. I'm afraid only the clan leader knows."

The God System was originally hostile to Ruilin, but Leon doted on Ruilin, so the God System would wisely remain silent whenever Ruilin appeared.

However, this time, it was clear that the main god system was no longer going to tolerate it. "Host, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but if you think about it carefully, don't you think this seems like a trap? He is the clan leader's most trusted person. If even Ruilin doesn't know what the Qilin clan's divine artifact is, does that mean the Qilin clan leader is too cunning, or is Ruilin lying?"

At this moment, Urucha coldly echoed the words of the Main God System, "I have never heard of any clansman who would actively encourage a minor god he has only recently met to inquire about the whereabouts of his own clan's artifacts."

Ruilin's fur was almost soaked with sweat. He had taken a risky gamble; whether it would work or not depended on this.

"It wasn't my initiative to send you to investigate the whereabouts of the artifact," Ruilin said calmly, looking at Uru.

"I'm just saying that being able to detect our clan's divine artifact doesn't mean that knowing about it means you can possess it." Ruilin looked at Leon's arms and the Soul-Stealing Talisman in his hand, becoming even more certain that the divine artifact in Leon's hand was a gift from the Three Pure Ones.

These three old men, the Three Pure Ones, truly cared deeply for the world!

Chapter 931 Quasi-Saint Powerful Being, Seven Star Old Daoist

“I’ve only heard the legends; I don’t know the truth.” Ruilin stroked his fur. “Legend has it that our clan’s divine artifact is a elixir.”

"A magic pill?" Leon and Uru exclaimed simultaneously.

The elixir was forged by a supreme god of the primordial world using all his divine and spiritual power. Once the elixir falls into the hands of another, that supreme god will be cast into the deepest hell, never to be reincarnated again.

So, does this mean the artifact of the Qilin clan belongs to a supreme god?

“I remember that before, what maintained another, lower-level primordial world was the divine power of some gods and elixirs…” Leon tried hard to recall the words of the Three Pure Ones.

Ruilin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "A portion of the divine power also belongs to the Primordial Qilin."

"Could it be that the Qilin clan's divine artifact is the elixir of the First Qilin?" Leon frowned, and Uru also knew that things had become very difficult.

However, Uru also knew that nothing could stop Leon from collecting the divine artifacts and becoming the Supreme Saint of the Heavenly Path.

Leon pondered for a moment, then patted Ruilin on the head.

He looked firmly into Uru's eyes. "Uru, I've decided to go to the Gathering Pavilion. Will you come with me?"

Uru was momentarily dazed.

She felt like she had seen this scene somewhere before.

Just before coming to this world, Leon stood before her, having just said goodbye to all his friends and family, and told Uru that this mission might be a one-way trip to a world from which there was no return.

At that time, Leon also asked, "Uru, are you coming with me?"

As if guided by some strange force, Uru nodded in agreement.

“If you go, I’ll go,” Uru said calmly, leaning against the wall.

Leon looked at Uru's expressionless face, chuckled softly, and nodded.

The one who understands him best is Uru.

Ruilin had no time to care about their mutual understanding; the huge weight that had been hanging over his heart had finally been lifted.

"Do you need me to take you there? The mountain path is not easy to walk, and I'm afraid you might accidentally wander into the abode of other gods or immortals."

With Ruilin leading the way, it would definitely be much more convenient than following the spirit talisman. Leon also liked Ruilin very much, so he immediately nodded, "Okay, wait for us to pack up."

There wasn't much to tidy up; it was just Leon's habit to tidy up casually. He gathered the scattered firewood to one side, cleaned up a bit, and then left with Uru and Ruilin.

After they disappeared, in the deep, bottomless darkness of the cave, a pair of cold eyes stared at everything.

"Owner."

Inside the Seven Star Shattered Ice Cave, Han Bing, one of Seven Star Old Daoist's subordinates, was reporting what he had just seen and heard to Seven Star Old Daoist.

The Seven Stars Taoist's hands and feet were bound by heavy iron chains. One end of the chain was fastened to the Seven Stars Taoist's hands and feet, while the other end was deeply embedded in the mountainside.

This is a cage.

Located deep within the cave, in a very open space, the Seven Star Taoist was quietly suspended in the hand seal in the center of the open space.

The Seven Stars Taoist turned his head at the sound, "Who is it?"

“Master, it is Uru from the previous life. Another person possesses two divine artifacts.” Han Bing knelt respectfully on the ground.

Although the Seven Stars Taoist was blind, his hearing was exceptional.

"Yes. Monitor them."

The Seven Stars Taoist priest exhaled slowly. His waist was tightly locked by the Heavenly Claw, making every time he spoke an immense ordeal.

Chapter 932 The Dialogue of the Three Pure Ones, an Ancient Secret

The previous cycle.

At that time, the Seven Stars Taoist was one of the two supreme gods who were on par with and equally famous as Hongjun.

After Hongjun imparted the Dao of Primordial Chaos to the Three Pure Ones, he chose to travel the world. Since then, no one has been able to find Hongjun's whereabouts.

From that moment on, all traces of Hongjun were erased from Zixiao Palace. Countless rumors say that Hongjun changed his appearance and hid in Zixiao Palace, becoming a sweeping monk. Because of this, many minor gods traveled thousands of miles to seek his guidance, provoking every sweeping monk in Zixiao Palace, but none of them could find Hongjun.

Hongjun reappeared in the eyes of the world in his previous life after Uru had collected all nine ancient artifacts.

In that primordial world, everyone lived in fear. Legend has it that whoever collected all nine ancient artifacts would possess the power to alter destiny and traverse the Three Realms and Six Paths. And if this power were used well, it would be an act of supreme virtue, a compassionate act for all living beings.

But if, like Uru, one becomes blinded by greed...

When Hongjun learned that Wulu had been massacring minor gods and immortals of various races to obtain his spiritual and divine power and to continuously nourish his cultivation with the Immortal Dew Bottle, he reappeared in the eyes of the world.

The first person he found was the Seven Star Old Taoist from the Seven Star Ice Palace.

Uru is extremely skilled in using fire magic, often burning entire fields in a single strike. The most effective way to counter fire magic is with water magic.

However, Hongjun actually knew that if it weren't for Wulu's abilities, the Seven Star Daoist would have long harbored the same greed as Wulu.

If the Seven Stars Taoist and Uru join forces, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, at this moment, Lingbao Laojun, one of the Three Pure Ones, offered Hongjun a plan, which was the divine artifact that Lingbao Laojun had not given to Leon—Tongtian Jian.

The Tongtian Jian (Heaven-Piercing Scissors) can be used on enemies. As long as its owner uses their power, it can lock away all of the opponent's divine and spiritual power. When Hongjun went to find the Seven Star Daoist, he locked the Tongtian Jian to the Seven Star Daoist's waist.

It wasn't that the Three Pure Ones didn't give all the divine artifacts to Leon; it was just that there was one that they couldn't remove.

The Seven Stars Taoist possesses immense spiritual power, comparable to that of Hongjun. The Tongtian Scissors should absolutely not be removed unless absolutely necessary.

This matter had already been agreed upon before the Three Pure Ones came to find Leon.

“I think if Leon can really accomplish great things, let him take down the last divine artifact, the Heavenly Cutter, himself, if he can handle the Seven Star Daoist after he takes down the Heavenly Cutter.”

The owner of the Tongtianjian, Lingbao Laojun, said to Taishang Laojun.

Laozi nodded. "I'm afraid that the Seven Star Daoist's hatred for Wulu will drive him to break free of Tongtian Jian at all costs. After all, if he is truly pushed to the point of mutual destruction, no one knows what he will choose."

Without Ulu, the Seven Star Daoist wouldn't have been forced by Hongjun and Lingbao Laojun to stop Ulu, nor would he have been beaten so badly by Ulu that he had nowhere to retreat and ultimately had to join forces with Hongjun to send Ulu into reincarnation.

He helped Hongjun and the world, but the wounds inflicted by Wulu and the spiritual power he had cultivated for nearly a thousand years that he lost could not be recovered.

Although Uru was cast into the cycle of reincarnation, he, the Seven Star Daoist, became a useless cripple.

Chapter 933 Stealing the Power of the Heavenly Dao

The Seven Stars Taoist once possessed extraordinary abilities, so how could he accept such a drastic decline in his skills?

Therefore, the five hundred years that were never recorded in ancient books and were intentionally erased in "Tales of Ancient Strange Things" were the five hundred years in which the Seven Star Daoist chose to re-cultivate and replenish his spiritual and divine power at all costs.

It wasn't until the very last moment that Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones realized the true intention behind the Seven Star Daoist's renewed cultivation.

However, neither Uru nor Leon knew any of this.

At this moment, they are traveling with Ruilin, riding the wind.

"That's it, that's it, fly down."

Ruilin pointed excitedly at a tall, thin building below.

"They actually built it so quickly. It seems the little gods are doing quite well in their cultivation." Ruilin clicked his tongue in praise, guiding Leon to stop at the entrance of the Gathering Pavilion.

Leon and Uru, who arrived at the Gathering Pavilion, were slightly taken aback by the scene before them.

"This isn't an attic...it's a pagoda!" Uru once again unleashed his talent for吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical commentary).

Ruilin led the way with leaps and bounds, and the little Qilin fairy guarding the gate immediately bowed upon seeing Ruilin.

Ruilin nodded, turned to Leon and Uru and said, "Take out your spirit talismans. Those things are the passes here, like access cards."

Leon and Uru showed the talismans in their hands to the little fairies. The little fairies dared not be presumptuous in front of Ruilin and respectfully invited them in.

"How about it? This place is much more lively than your dilapidated cave, isn't it?" Ruilin said, pointing to the bustling rest hall.

The hall was practically a... all-encompassing encyclopedia of fairies.

Some have heads that look like garlic cloves, some look like scallions, and... well, some float in the air like clouds.

Leon had traveled through countless worlds and had mostly seen humanoid gods; he had never seen anything like this bizarre shape before.

“I’ll take you to the top of the Gathering Pavilion.” Ruilin pulled the two of them along and they began to climb the stairs.
