Fairy Tail: I Am the God

If there were a traitor among them, this secret might be revealed, which concerns Tianming's life. Hopefully, no one knows, and no one has revealed it! I pray that everything will be peaceful.

But all of this is impossible! Tianming's future path will surely be fraught with difficulties, because Tianming possesses a power that is not his own, and that power was once imprisoned by someone.

But then, at that very moment, the problem was suddenly solved. That's just how fate is; no one knows what will happen next, and all we can do is prepare for anything.

Now, Qin Shi Huang is still chasing Tianming, and he also knows that Tianming was rescued by someone. The person who rescued Tianming is "Gai Nie". Gai Nie has not had an easy time either. He has been a servant by Qin Shi Huang's side for more than 20 years, but he only gets some information from Qin Shi Huang.

The group of people standing in the Zhongnan Villa looked up at the plaque made of fine wood with several beautiful and artistic characters on it - "Zhongnan Villa". If it weren't for Tianming's power that inexplicably unlocked it.

The Grand Master also realized that their situation in Luoyang was unfavorable to them, so he hurried to the Zhongnan Villa, intending to stay there for a while until the situation outside calmed down before going out.

Looking at the large characters "Zhongnan Villa," the heavy weight in Yi Deng's heart finally lifted. After a long and arduous journey, the leader turned around and said, "This is Zhongnan Villa. We'll stay here for a while; everyone's tired." The leader was also quite tired. He had led them here, and if they hadn't known the way, they probably would have had to ask for directions the whole way, making it even more impossible for them to arrive at Zhongnan Villa so soon.

Standing to the side, Dong Guo Zhi's gaze shifted from Duanmu Rong to the plaque. All the way, Dong Guo Zhi had been trying to distract Gai Nie with his eyes. Sigh! Dong Guo Zhi was a long-time jealous person, radiating jealousy the whole way. Anyone who didn't know better would think that a vinegar jar had been broken. It's hilarious!

Dong Guo Zhi, realizing they had already arrived at the Zhongnan Villa, felt tired and responded to the Grand Master's words with a "Mm." Gai Nie, knowing everyone was tired, especially Tianming, said, "Yes, everyone is tired. Grand Master, please lead us inside to rest!"

Chapter 1184 The protagonist with cheat codes needs no explanation

Tianming, who was standing to the side, was exhausted and wanted to ask the God System if there was any way to stop him from being tired. Right now, the only way for Tianming to stop being tired was to have a bed in front of him, lie down on it and sleep, and then wake up refreshed.

So, the Grand Master led everyone into the Zhongnan Villa, saying along the way, "This Zhongnan Villa belongs to Master Ban. We should meet Master Ban soon." The Grand Master kept talking, and everyone was tired of hearing it, but the Grand Master really did look like a tour guide! Tianming smiled knowingly at that sight.

The Grand Master led everyone to the main hall of the Zhongnan Villa. To be fair, the Zhongnan Villa was quite nice, with luxurious rooms and exquisite items. It was indeed a place where Master Ban resided. In the main hall, they happened to meet Master Ban drinking tea. Upon seeing Master Ban, the Grand Master quickly went over to greet him: "Master Ban, how have you been lately?"

Master Ban sipped his tea, looking at the large group of people behind the Grand Master, and replied with a mixture of doubt and wariness, "It's good. What brings you to Zhongnan Villa to see me today?" Master Ban really got straight to the point. Master Ban is truly different; he hasn't wasted his years of wandering the martial world.

Hearing Master Ban's words, Gai Nie, who was standing to the side, must have been a little wary. There were quite a few of them. If it were someone else, they might have come with swords drawn and asked what they wanted. People who didn't know better would think that they were about to have a big fight. But Master Ban was very calm: "Hello, Master Ban. We are..." He omitted their introduction.

The Grand Master also said, "This is a long story, and we would like to stay here for a while." The Grand Master then explained the general situation to Master Ban.

Upon hearing this, Master Ban quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright, you can stay here!" Master Ban was a decent person. Tianming didn't feel any aversion towards Master Ban when he first met him. Tianming just stood by and watched these things, not saying much. Perhaps Tianming hadn't had time to process what had happened along the way.

Outsiders describe Master Ban as having a "temperament that is sometimes good and sometimes bad; he is an engineer." Master Ban's temper is indeed unpredictable. The fact that Tianming and the others are staying here today might be because Master Ban is in a good mood and has taken pity on them. If it were someone else, it might be different. Perhaps when Master Ban is in a bad mood, he might kick you out, and you would have no choice but to leave in a flash.

Master Ban was a member of the Mohist school and also a famous engineer. You can consult Master Ban for advice and guidance on engineering matters. Master Ban's hobby is designing all sorts of novel things. Many of the designs in Zhongnan Villa were done by Master Ban.

Everyone was sitting in the hall talking to Master Ban. They were all getting along very well and seemed to have a good rapport. After chatting for a while, Master Ban said to the Grand Master, "Take them to their lodgings!" Upon hearing this, the Grand Master stood up and said, "Okay."

The Grand Master led everyone to bid farewell to Master Ban and then left the hall. He led them to their lodgings at the Zhongnan Villa and began arranging their rooms. After the Grand Master had settled everyone in, they all went to their rooms to rest.

The Grand Master invited Gai Nie into the inner room, and Gai Nie followed the Grand Master into the room. The Grand Master asked Gai Nie what exactly happened thirteen years ago when Jing Ke attempted to assassinate the King of Qin.

Chapter 1185 Physical Body Breakthrough Limiter

"It's a long story," Gai Nie said, gently scraping the tea leaves in his cup with the lid, a look of reminiscence on his face.

When Jing Ke gifted him the sword, he said that they were lifelong friends. The sword was Jing Ke's favorite. As fellow disciples, they grew up together and their bond was even stronger than that of blood brothers. No matter the season, they would practice swordplay together under the trees. They experienced countless seasons and spent countless days and nights together.

That day, after practicing swordsmanship, Gai Nie wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to change his clothes, which were soaked with sweat, when Jing Ke arrived.

Those who have met Jing Ke know that he is aloof and reserved. Only Gai Nie knows that Jing Ke is actually quite talkative. They talked about everything under the stars, including the current state of the world.

That day, as before, they fought each other until Gai Nie's clothes were so soaked that water could be wrung out with a single hand, and then they stopped.

"Do you think the King of Qin will unify the world?" Gai Nie asked. Now, the King of Qin has conquered several smaller states, leaving only the major powers of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei.

“The power of the King of Qin is growing stronger and stronger, and I’m afraid his ambitions don’t stop there,” Jing Ke said.

"Who cares? The world is still the world. Even if the ruler changes, it's still the world." Gai Nie said nonchalantly. He only cared about his sword. If a peerless swordsman were to emerge in this world, he might be interested.

“Gai Nie, Master said that if we want to leave the mountain, we can.” Before Gai Nie could process the meaning of Jing Ke’s words, he pulled his sword from his waist and handed it to him: “Here, aren’t you very greedy? Here you go.”

Gai Nie exclaimed in surprise, "You just give away such a precious sword like that!"

"No matter how fine a sword is, it cannot compare to human kindness and loyalty," Jing Ke said nonchalantly.

Hearing his tone, Gai Nie couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache; that was a precious sword! However, Jing Ke then said, "I won't give it to you now. I'll give it to you when I'm about to die."

Listening to Jing Ke talking to himself, Gai Nie threw a punch at him and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?" Jing Ke dodged to the side and walked away without looking back, saying as he left, "Just take it as me talking nonsense."

But to everyone's surprise, Jing Ke disappeared the very next morning, leaving only a letter with the short words, "I am going down the mountain to gain experience."

After staying on the mountain for another six months, Gai Nie also came down the mountain. He hoped to find out about Jing Ke, but as soon as he came down the mountain, well-informed people said that he was Guiguzi's disciple and had been invited into the Qin King's mansion.

In the years that followed, he spent every day with the Qin king, offering him advice and strategies. Within the Qin palace, his status was exceptional.

King Qin said he wanted to unify the world. He had such ambition and such ability. Everyone knew that King Qin was tyrannical. He had suggested it several times, but each time King Qin would say indifferently that if it were not done this way, no one would submit. However, the results of tyranny were obviously good, so Gai Nie stopped reminding him.

Many years passed in this way. As the King of Qin gradually conquered several powerful states, his power grew stronger and stronger. Many people feared that they would come to an end, so they tried to curry favor with the King of Qin by offering him benefits.

Chapter 1186 The Continent of Edolas Crushed to Pounds

He never expected to meet Jing Ke again at that time.

The day before the envoy's visit, Jing Ke arrived. He came to see Gai Nie.

"Why are you here?" Gai Nie looked at Jing Ke. The two of them were no longer the young men dancing with swords under the moonlight. Jing Ke had also shed his childishness and his face was resolute. It seemed that he had experienced a lot in the past two years.

"What's wrong? Now that you're second only to the emperor, you don't welcome your senior brother anymore?" Jing Ke joked.

“You know that’s not what I meant,” Gai Nie said as he pulled Jing Ke into his room and locked the door.

"Tell me, what is it?" Gai Nie asked.

"You're so impatient, aren't you even going to pour your senior brother a cup of tea?" Jing Ke said.

"Alright, I still have to serve you." Gai Nie hurriedly poured tea. Back when they were on the mountain, Gai Nie was always the one who had to pour tea after the two of them finished practicing swordsmanship. Now that they have come out to gain experience and grown up, he still has to pour tea.

Seeing that Jing Ke had gulped down the drink, he asked again, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just came to see you."

"I don't believe it. You've never come to see me when there's nothing wrong," Gai Nie complained. After being away from the mountain for several years, he had fallen into such a state that Jing Ke couldn't possibly not know. The fact that he was only coming to see him now meant that he had something to tell him.

Jing Ke didn't speak, but instead took off his sword and said, "Here, take this."

After saying that, without waiting for Gai Nie's reply, he threw it on the table, jumped out the window, and left Gai Nie alone.

It was during a visit by envoys. At the banquet, when Jing Ke was performing a sword dance in public, Gai Nie noticed something was wrong with his eyes. They were filled with hatred. He didn't know why Jing Ke harbored such hatred for the King of Qin. Gai Nie didn't want to step forward to stop him, so he kept giving Jing Ke meaningful glances.

Jing Ke seemed not to see him. He walked to the center of the hall, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the King of Qin, and said, "Please grant me permission, Your Majesty."

The King of Qin, full of confidence, said, "Granted."

So Jing Ke started performing in the center of the palace.

Jing Ke's swordsmanship and Gai Nie's swordsmanship are completely different, but the two grew up together and practiced swordsmanship together. Even though they are two different swordsmanship styles, they have mastered them to perfection and complement each other.

Seeing that this swordsmanship was comparable to Gai Nie's, the King of Qin cheered loudly. Of everyone present, only Gai Nie noticed that his swordsmanship had taken an extra step compared to usual.

Could it be...

Just as the King of Qin was engrossed in the spectacle, Jing Ke suddenly twirled his sword and thrust it towards the King's face. Before anyone could react, Jing Ke pounced on the King.

"No!" Gai Nie roared, blocking Jing Ke's straight sword thrust with his sword. They began to fight back and forth. Gai Nie didn't want Jing Ke to get hurt, so he fought while forcing Jing Ke step by step out of the palace. But Jing Ke refused to cooperate and continued to rush towards the King of Qin. At this moment, the King of Qin was surrounded by guards. Seeing this, Jing Ke roared and stood straight without dodging or flinching, and Gai Nie pierced his chest.

"No... Senior Brother..." Gai Nie murmured, holding the same sword that Jing Ke had given him last night. He had used the sword his senior brother had given him to pierce his senior brother's chest... No... He couldn't believe it... Jing Ke could have dodged it.

Seeing Jing Ke slowly fall, Gai Nie rushed over. Before falling, Jing Ke smiled slightly at Gai Nie.

"Sigh..." Thinking of what happened that year, Gai Nie couldn't help but sigh. This was the memory he least wanted to recall.

He never understood why Jing Ke smiled at him before he died.

Chapter 1187 Leon Takes Action, Reversing the Laws of Time

A cold wind whistles, bringing a sense of desolation. Golden leaves fall to the ground, and returning birds seem to whisper of this sorrow. The sun sets in the west and rises in the east—an age-old law. Can we change it?

On a steep cliff, a man sat alone and desolate, holding a glass of wine. Beside him lay a new sword that seemed out of place. The man silently gazed at the sword, then gulped down a glass of wine and sighed.

Assassinating the King of Qin—what a noble and glorious mission, yet it cost a woman her life forever. One man, one sword, to accomplish this impossible task, yet for the sake of the world, he accepted it without hesitation. But in the end, he lost his life. How foolish.

"Alas, this woman dedicated her entire life to this. I know she hesitated and was afraid at first, but she still did it. What right do I have to grieve here, to slander her? No one in the world has wronged her, yet she has done right by the whole world!" Gai Nie said.

Having said this, he filled his wine cup, poured it off the cliff, and offered it to Jing Ke. Then he closed his eyes, muttering something under his breath. He felt an indescribable sorrow; it was such a pity that such a fine person had so generously sacrificed his life for the sake of the world. After doing this, he sighed helplessly, glancing inadvertently at the new sword Jing Ke had given him before his death, and frowned.

“Huh, that’s strange. Why did Jing Ke give me this new sword? It looks like it hasn’t been used yet. Generally speaking, swords like this aren’t very powerful. She gave it to me… wait, there seems to be a chip on it. Could it be…” Gai Nie said.

Gai Nie picked up the sword and examined it carefully. After a while, he suddenly exerted force with both hands, and the sword broke with a snap. Gai Nie was surprised. What happened to the sword?

Why did it break so easily when I pulled it so lightly? Just then, a piece of paper floated down from the broken sword.

With trembling hands, Gai Nie gently smoothed the note. It was covered in dense writing. Gai Nie picked it up and read it carefully:

"Brother, by the time you find this note, I may no longer be here. Don't be too sad. This is the path I chose, and I don't regret it. It's a mission I had to fulfill, and I survived only for this mission. Don't be sad for me either, because what I truly want you to do next is..."

My clan is a secretive assassin organization. Only my brother and I are left in this generation. One day, someone asked us to assassinate the King of Qin, saying it was for the sake of the world, and gave my brother a large sum of money.

I knew this person had ulterior motives. But considering certain things, my brother still agreed. He set off the next day, but he didn't come back. I knew he had failed.

His failure naturally fell on my shoulders. So I thought about it for a few days and realized that this was not the only way to bring peace to the world. There was another way, but the assassination of the King of Qin was imminent, and I had no choice but to set off.

I knew this would fail, because even my brother couldn't succeed, let alone me? And this is the person behind my outline who can stay out of it. Only ordinary people can suffer like this.

Furthermore, assassinating the King of Qin was fundamentally impossible.
