Fairy Tail: I Am the God

“My melee combat…” Uru thought about his fire magic. He usually controlled fire magic from a distance, and his melee combat was indeed not strong. “To be honest, it’s pretty average.”

“That’s perfect.” The Flame Beast nodded, looking confident. “Here’s my plan for you, Uru: we’ll make a medium-length halberd.”

Uru pondered the shape of the halberd for a moment. How could it be turned into a spear?

“However, we can make this halberd hollow, and as long as you hold the halberd handle, you can use divine power, that is, battle qi, to infuse the weapon, and extremely high-temperature flames will shoot out from the hole at the other end. Is this your idea? Moreover, the halberd can also be very useful in close combat.” The Flame Beast described and gestured, clearly describing the shape of the halberd.

Uru suddenly felt a bit of admiration for the Flame Beast. Having a skill was just too, too useful!

“So how do we begin?” Uru asked.

The Flame Beast looked around and said, "This halberd is different from other weapons; it must be able to withstand extremely high temperatures. Look over there."

The Flame Beast pointed in a direction to Uru, "Do you see that purple stone over there?"

Uru looked in that direction and indeed saw something that looked like crystal, very delicate and beautiful... well, maybe it really was a stone.

“That piece is called amethyst ore, a rare material that is not commonly found in this canyon. Uru, we need to collect about ten pieces of amethyst ore before we can use the lava from the Flame Canyon to forge your halberd.”

The Flame Beast walked over and demonstrated it to Uru.

“Look, since this amethyst ore is extremely heat-resistant, we can’t control it with ordinary fire spells.” The fire beast said, and used a few low-level fire spells, but the amethyst ore didn’t budge.

"Uru, do you know the Dance of Fire?"

The Dance of Fire is not a dance, but a dance performed by a fire-elemental deity. Using the fighting spirit within their body, they wield flames to create a dance-like form. This is a control skill, generally used only by extremely powerful deities. The object of control can be a god, an object, or even a stone.

Uru nodded; she knew almost all fire magic.

The Flame Beast smiled. "That makes things much easier. As you can see, ordinary fire spells can't lift it. We can only use the Dance of Fire to control this amethyst ore and gradually separate it from the canyon mountain. Then I can control it to be forged in the molten lava."

Uru immediately nodded in understanding, and the two discussed it briefly before splitting up to carry out their plan.

Flame Canyon is a narrow, high, and long canyon, and the two searched on opposite sides of it.

Uru had been carefully searching for amethyst ore as she walked, but she soon discovered that apart from the one they had just stumbled upon by luck, there was no other one.

"Be patient," the Flame Beast said, trying to comfort Uru after realizing that he had basically lost hope. "Amethyst ore is often used by water and ice elemental users. Their weapon blacksmiths often come to me for amethyst ore."

"Is it because it's heat resistant?" Uru guessed. "It's perfect for them, to use against the attacks of the fire god."

“Yes, that’s why very few fire-type gods would use this, but your idea is indeed very creative, and I think it’s feasible.” The fire beast quickly spotted the second piece and exclaimed excitedly, “I see the second piece!”

Chapter 955 The Shocking Hundred Clans

Uru and the Flame Beast were making great progress, while Leon was looking worried.

"Even with your status, you can't squeeze in?" Leon was going crazy from waiting in line.

What kind of world is this? This is clearly a place where gods live, so why is there a queue?

That's utter nonsense.

After failing to sneak in through the back door, Leon and Ruilin heard the noise and circled back to the front door. Unexpectedly, a long queue had suddenly formed at the previously crowded entrance.

It seems that Shi Qilin also found the chaos too annoying, so he had someone arrange for the minor gods and immortals to line up at the entrance. Anyone who wanted to come to him had to do so without exception.

Ruilin had just tried to use his position to get special treatment or pull some strings, but he was stopped by the frowning Xiaoshen.

"I'm sorry, Lord Ruilin, we dare not stop you, but the clan leader said that everyone must line up at the door, no one is exempt. We dare not disobey the clan leader's order. Please don't make things difficult for us."

After listening, Ruilin simply smiled and praised him, saying that this little god was indeed very dedicated. He then returned to find Leon, who was in line, and launched into a long rant.

"Fortunately, this team left relatively quickly. It probably wasn't anything important. Shi Qilin just gave them a few instructions and let them go." Leon looked around and noticed that both the people in front of him and the little gods behind him seemed a bit puzzled by the pairing of the man and the dog.

"Who is that person? He seems to have great divine power."

"I don't know, but they're from other ethnic groups."

"What ethnicity does he look like?"

"I can't tell, he's probably just a passerby, but how does he have the right to come and see the clan leader?"

"Look next to him, it's Lord Ruilin standing there."

Leon was utterly exasperated. "Rui Lin, did you hear me?"

Ruilin was already very dissatisfied. What was Shi Qilin up to? He didn't know what the Three Pure Ones said when they went in. Sealing off the main hall was understandable, but now even he and Leon were being kept outside. What did that mean?

Rui Lin intuitively sensed that the Three Pure Ones had come to them for the Qilin Clan's divine artifact.

Only after Leon and Ruilin had reached their limit did they finally get to the middle of the line.

"Why is this happening? Why can't I use magic?" Leon was even more desperate. He had originally wanted to use his battle aura to fly to the main hall, but now, he couldn't use his battle aura at all, as if it had been sealed!

"Host, traces of an energy field have been detected here. Someone must have manually used magic to envelop the entire hall. You cannot use magic; it must have been done intentionally." After calculating, the God System told Leon with great certainty.

“It seems that this was done by the First Qilin,” Leon patted Ruilin, “probably because he was worried that someone would make a move in the main hall.”

Leon guessed correctly. It was because the First Qilin was worried that if the Three Pure Ones or Leon tried to forcibly take the Qilin's elixir, the Qilin clan would be put in a passive position. Therefore, the First Qilin stipulated that if it really came to the point where Leon absolutely had to take the Qilin elixir, only Leon could enter the main hall, and then the First Qilin would break the seal.

Chapter 956 Leon's Attention, System Notification

With Leon's affairs on his mind and so many tedious things piling up, Shi Qilin was extremely annoyed. When he saw Leon and Ruilin, along with their dog, arrive, he immediately lost his temper.

"Do you two have something important to discuss? If not, we can talk about it later. Let me finish what I need to do now," Shi Qilin said wearily, rubbing his forehead. "Are there still long queues outside?"

Leon and Ruilin exchanged a glance and nodded with deep sorrow.

Shi Qilin sighed, gave Leon a deep look, and for a moment didn't know what to say to him.

To be honest, Shi Qilin wasn't prepared to communicate with Ruilin either.

But now, time is of the essence. This is something that Sanqing has repeatedly emphasized to him. In less than five days, Leon must capture the Fire Cloud Evil God and obtain the Heavenly Chain.

But... is this really the right thing to do? Is Leon really someone they can entrust their lives to?

Shi Qilin knew that once the decision was made, Leon would possess four divine artifacts in a very short time, and his strength would skyrocket to an unprecedented level.

Such a growth rate is terrifying. The First Qilin couldn't help but think of Uru in his previous life, who also easily obtained the nine divine artifacts, became the Supreme Saint of the Heavenly Dao, and then embarked on a path of no return.

When greed and avarice run rampant, that's when people are most dangerous.

Leon must quickly pass the scrutiny of the First Qilin, gain its trust, and then overcome the most difficult hurdle.

This challenge is important for both Shi Qilin and Leon.

That means we have to face Ruilin.

Without the elixir, Ruilin would be nothing more than cannon fodder if he didn't have the protection of a powerful deity.

Although Shi Qilin is one of the three clan leaders, if Leon can truly become the final Heavenly Saint, then having Ruilin follow Leon might be the only way to do justice to Ruilin's sacrifice.

The question is, how is he going to test Leon?

Shi Qilin inwardly grumbled, calling out to the lesser gods queuing below to give him their routine reports, all while his mind was preoccupied with this matter.

Leon and Ruilin chatted and laughed on the side, but Shi Qilin had no idea what to do.

Let's see if Leon can truly impress Shi Qilin within five days.

Leon was clearly there to test the First Qilin as well.

Just as the Three Pure Ones departed, while Leon was impatiently waiting in line, the Main God System had already alerted him, "Host, the Three Pure Ones have been detected and have left Kunlun Mountain."

Leon remembered that he still couldn't believe it at the time, "So fast?"

"Yes, host, there's no mistake. I already marked two of them when we were in the Gathering Pavilion, and the energy source we just detected is indeed them." The God System was very certain.

They really slipped away quickly, without even bothering to explain the whole story of what happened in the Qilin Palace to Leon!

Leon had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to probe the First Qilin's thoughts himself.

Leon, too, was chatting absentmindedly with Ruilin, focusing his attention on observing the First Qilin.

The clan chief seems a bit agitated...

However, since he hasn't been kicked out by the First Qilin and can still chat peacefully with the Qilin clan's artifacts, it seems the First Qilin hasn't refused him yet!

Chapter 957 New Dimensional Coordinates

Just as Leon was wavering and at a loss, Shi Qilin suddenly found an excuse to ask the two of them to go to the vicinity of the Gates of Hell to help him complete some tasks.

Without a second thought, Ruilin immediately obeyed the order, biting Leon's hem as they prepared to leave together.

It was obvious that Shi Qilin was trying to coax the two of them to leave. Leon didn't want to leave, but he was helpless because of Ruilin's antics.

Since the First Qilin wants him to go, he will go.

It just so happens that he has never been to the Gates of Hell.

Ruilin knew of a mountain path that led directly to the Gates of Hell, but Leon refused to let him go.

"No, no, no, I don't want to climb mountains. Come on, come with me."

After saying that, Leon picked up Ruilin and complained that the big Samoyed was really heavy. Then, Leon flipped his hands and used his battle qi to leave the Qilin Palace and head straight for the Gates of Hell.

The Gates of Hell are said to be a gate, but in reality, they are an insurmountable chasm. What separates the Gates of Hell from the outside world is thunder, lightning, wind, and rain.

Before Leon even reached the Gates of Hell, the God System had already warned him, "Host, energy movement has been detected. It is recommended that you return to the ground, as the lightning here is quite dangerous."

Leon immediately agreed and walked with Ruilin along the canyon in front of the Gates of Hell.
