Fairy Tail: I Am the God

At night, in this place known as a ghost village, a few brightly lit houses added a touch of humanity. The eerie trees swayed their branches, and the shadows cast on the ground looked like ghosts trying to drive away the visitors.

The sudden chirping of insects was like an alarm bell ringing in people's hearts, adding to the oppressive atmosphere of the village. However, for those who were used to living here, these were commonplace things. They would listen to these sounds to fall asleep every night, as if it were a lullaby.

Not far away, there was a house that was lit up inside and out, making the whole house bright as day, so bright it was dazzling. However, in an inconspicuous place, a corner of yellow paper was blown out by the wind. It was obvious whose masterpiece this was.

"Shaoyu, let me tell you, those bugs are terrifying." A frightened voice came from inside the house, and upon closer listening, the voice sounded strangely familiar.

In the room where oil lamps were lit everywhere, Tianming and Shaoyu were sitting at a table drinking tea. The one who spoke was Tianming, whose face showed lingering fear. His hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly, and as he spoke, his pupils contracted rapidly, as if he had been frightened again.

Sitting opposite him, Shao Yu glanced at him speechlessly. Knowing he was scared, he still said it. Wasn't he just making trouble for himself? Shao Yu originally planned to ignore him, but when he saw that his face was as pale as a sheet of paper, his hands on his knees slowly clenched, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Oh? What's so scary about bugs?"

As soon as these words came out,

That night, Tianming was rambling on to Shaoyu that even insects were transformed from ghosts when he suddenly saw the deceased Uncle Yong carrying a lantern and hurrying along the road.

The two men looked at Uncle Yong, who was walking so fast he seemed to be flying, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. Tianming, on the other hand, had been gripping the edge of the table and trembling uncontrollably ever since he saw him. His eyes were filled with fear as he stared at the person walking in front of him, and his back teeth were chattering uncontrollably. His whole body was shaking.

Upon seeing this, Shao Yu reached out and slapped Tianming on the back of the head, making mocking remarks.

"Aren't you supposed to be a savior of the world? How come you're so scared of this? How are you going to be a hero in the future?!"

Upon hearing this, Tianming tightly closed his eyes, forcibly controlling his body to stop trembling so violently. He kept repeating in his mind: I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. Then he opened his slightly moist eyes, looked at Shaoyu, and said in a trembling voice: "So, so you just do it like that!"

As he spoke, Tianming slammed his hand on the table and stood up. As if to bolster his courage, he began to perform a set of punches in the room. By the time he was almost finished, Tianming's legs were no longer so weak.

At this moment, Shao Yu had already walked outside and was watching Uncle Yong leave in a hurry. He reached out and touched his chin, staring at the path Uncle Yong had taken. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Why was he not staying where he should be at this time? Why did he have to come out and act so hurriedly? There must be something fishy going on.

"What's wrong?" Shao Yu rolled his eyes and looked back. He saw Tian Ming looking at the door with a slightly curious gaze. Shao Yu suddenly laughed, reached out and locked Tian Ming's hands, forcefully flipped him over and pressed him against the door, and said with a smile, "How about we go and chat with Uncle Yong?"

"Not good." Tianming immediately wanted to run away, but he was unable to move and could not deal with Shaoyu. Under Shaoyu's coercion, he had no choice but to leave the particularly safe house with trembling steps.

Then, Shaoyu led Tianming to chase after Uncle Yong. Uncle Yong was walking not far from them, his faltering steps treading on withered branches and fallen leaves.

Tianming was curious and didn't understand where "Uncle Yong" was going. He looked at Shaoyu with some curiosity, hoping that he could give him an answer.

Looking at Jing Tianming's curious eyes, Shao Yu shook his head. He didn't know where this "Uncle Yong" was going either. Moreover, he was a little curious about who this "Uncle Yong" was.

Since "Uncle Yong" is already dead, there is no reason for him to reappear in this world. He doesn't believe in ghosts or monsters; he only believes that everything is man-made and that there is nothing that humans cannot do.

But who exactly is this person impersonating "Uncle Yong"? Doesn't he know that "Uncle Yong" is already dead? Or is his purpose to make them aware of his existence?

One cloud after another of mist crashed down on Shao Yu, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Jing Tianming, standing to the side, looked at Shao Yu shaking his head and immediately felt somewhat disappointed. "You don't even know?"

It was supposed to be a perfectly normal tone, but Shao Yu was caught in a deep self-doubt at that moment. Upon hearing this, he felt that Jing Tianming looked down on him, so he slapped Jing Tianming on the back, causing Jing Tianming to wince in pain.

"What are you doing?" Jing Tianming asked angrily.

"This will teach you a lesson; don't talk nonsense all day long," Shao Yu said fiercely.

Jing Tianming was a little confused. When did he say something nonsensical? He shook his head and thought, "Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. Let's just focus on tracking 'Uncle Yong'."

"Uncle Yong" walked shakily, crossing a dangerous suspension bridge and passing through a dense forest, finally arriving at a house with its lights still on.

Despite how easily "Uncle Yong" left, Jing Tianming and Shao Yu, who were following him, faced an extremely difficult journey.

The suspension bridge had been there for some time, and people walking on it would inevitably make a creaking sound. But surprisingly, Uncle Yong walked on it without making a sound.

Jing Tianming and Shao Yu were somewhat puzzled. Could it be that he really wasn't human? However, they didn't have time to dwell on it. Crossing the suspension bridge would inevitably make a lot of noise. What should they do?

Shaoyu looked around and finally decided that the two of them should crawl across the suspension bridge, so they could cross more slowly and make no noise. Tianming was very reluctant, but he had no choice but to do as he was told.

After crossing the suspension bridge, the path became much easier. They saw "Uncle Yong" stop in front of the only house and knock on the door. When they saw who had knocked, both of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.

The person who opened the door was actually Ling'er. Wasn't Ling'er a mute girl? How could she have any connection with "Uncle Yong"? Shao Yu felt that the whole thing seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

When they saw "Uncle Yong" and Ling'er enter the house, they quickly ran up to them and listened quietly to their conversation.

From their conversation, the two discovered a shocking secret: Ling'er was not a mute girl at all, but a highly skilled martial artist!

Shao Yu and Tian Ming discovered the secret together, and they managed to keep the mute girl and "Uncle Yong" from finding out about them, which was quite an achievement.

The two walked together to a secluded spot and discussed their next move.

"Why don't we go tell the village chief? Let him calm people down," Shao Yu suggested without thinking. In Shao Yu's eyes, the village chief was very capable and had the people's trust.

“I object. The village chief is ultimately just an ordinary person who knows nothing, while that mute girl is clearly a master.” Tianming explained his analysis to Shaoyu. The two seemed to have reconciled, and the memory of Yue’er’s refereeing and their playful fight was gone.

The system praised Tianming this time, saying he acted with his brain and without impulsiveness. Tianming silently rolled his eyes and didn't respond to the system.

Seeing Tianming roll his eyes, Shaoyu was a little confused, but still insisted on asking, "Tianming, who do you think we should tell? After all, we're still kids, it won't do us any good."

"Duanmu Rong!" Tianming exclaimed in surprise, a sudden thought striking him. Luckily, they found a secluded spot to discuss their strategy; otherwise, they would have been in danger.

“Duanmu Rong cured Sword Saint Gai Nie last time, so she must have superb medical skills and know more about these strange things,” Tianming told Shaoyu his analysis slowly.

"Let's tell Duanmu Rong about the money!" Shaoyu strongly agreed.

Tianming and Shaoyu immediately went to Duanmu Rong's residence, hoping that Duanmu Rong would be home at that time.

When the two arrived, they found that Duanmu Rong was drying herbs. As soon as Tianming saw her, he pulled her into the house, whispering, "Aunt Rong'er, we have something urgent to attend to." Shaoyu followed closely behind and entered the house.

"Shaoyu and I discovered that Ling'er, the mute girl, is not simple. We saw her meeting with Uncle Yong, and she even knows some martial arts," Tianming briefly stated their findings.

After listening to Tianming's words, Shaoyu nodded frantically in agreement.

"Alright, let's find a few trustworthy people now and secretly dig up the bodies of those who died in the last few days. Let's see if there's anything fishy going on." Duanmu Rong, with the attitude of "better safe than sorry," went to find Yue'er and a few other honest people.

Upon hearing the reason, they were all eager to help move the body. This act itself was highly immoral, but everyone was afraid of being the next to die, so they were all very willing to go.

Several adults, along with three children—Tianming, Yue'er, and Shaoyu—were buried in the same place because of their strange causes of death.

Several strong men lined up the corpses and waited for Duanmu Rong's autopsy results.

Duanmu Rong took out her tools and damaged a spot on the skin of the first person, from which insects crawled out. The people around were shocked and secretly concluded that this was definitely related to the outsiders.

Duanmu Rong reassured everyone, "Don't be afraid, these are Gu worms." She then cut open the second one, and the same worms crawled out, and so on for the next few.

Duanmu Rong carefully distinguished them and found that all the Gu worms were of the same kind.

"Everyone, the bodies of these deceased villagers all contained Gu worms," ​​Duanmu Rong announced the results of her autopsy.

"It must have been Ling'er who did it! No one died from the Gu worms before she came!"

"Yes! It's Bell."

"Get her out!"

One person speaks out, and calls for action rise and fall.

Chapter 1059 The Collapsed World of Qin's Moon

"Everyone, please calm down. We also need to figure out why they came to harm us. Otherwise, if this one gets away, someone else will come," Duanmu Rong analyzed for those present.

The villagers present trusted Duanmu Rong. She had cured the Sword Saint and had also detected the Gu worms, so they all quieted down.

"I have a feeling they'll strike again! Soon!" Yue'er, who had been calmly watching from the sidelines, exclaimed.

“Our warehouse was attacked last time, and another attack might be coming soon,” Yue’er said, offering her analysis.

"I'm so sorry for letting that bad girl, Ling'er, come to our village." Yue'er felt deeply guilty. Because of her kindness, she had brought this mute girl to her village, and so many things had happened.

"Moon, this isn't your fault, it's that Ling'er's fault. She took advantage of our kindness to get into our village." Tianming, who had initially agreed with Moon's analysis, felt sorry for her and comforted her when he heard her self-blame.

"Yes, Yue'er doesn't blame you. If you hadn't taken the mute girl with you, Ling'er would have gone to someone else." Shao Yu comforted her from the side, also feeling a little regretful because Tianming had taken the initiative before him.

"Tianming, you must catch Ling'er."

Tianming, who was focused on comforting Yue'er, was suddenly startled by a sentence. He looked around, but no one was talking to him.

"Silly Tianming, this is the system." A roar came from the system.

"Hey, who are you ordering? I'm not going, so you won't see this!" Tianming's mood of comforting Yue'er and leaving a good impression was completely ruined by the system's shout.

"Ah! Brother Tianming, I want to see! Think about it, if you catch Ling'er tomorrow, Yue'er will admire you even more!" The system, after all, knew Tianming quite well, and attacked his weakness. It even went so far as to act cute.

This disgusted Tianming so much that he shouted, "Fine, I'll go catch Ling'er tomorrow, okay?"

Those around Tianming looked at him strangely, wondering why he had suddenly spoken and startled them.

The system shut up contentedly. No. Before shutting up, it kindly reminded Tianming that everyone else had heard it and that he should definitely go tomorrow.

It wasn't until dawn that I realized I had made a sound, not a telepathic transmission. Anyway, I'm definitely going to catch Ling'er tomorrow, so what if I shouted it out?

Tianming looked at everyone apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for startling you all."

After the farce ended, Duanmu Rong, who had been quiet ever since the discovery of the Gu worm, spoke up: "Everyone, go home for today and don't make a fuss. Be careful tomorrow, especially when you're alone with Ling'er. Let's call it a day."

Everyone left after hearing Duanmu Rong's words, except for the three children.

Yue'er walked up to Duanmu Rong and expressed her worries: "Aunt Rong, I feel that Ling'er's next target might be a child."

Duanmu Rong comforted her, "Yue'er, we will protect you, but you must also be wary of Ling'er."

"Tianming, Shaoyu, you two protect Yue'er secretly during the day," Duanmu Rong said, turning to Tianming and Shaoyu.
