If you don't go, then the Imperial Teacher will only lecture me alone, haha.\" Emperor Tianwu the 22nd was precisely out of this worry that he called Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji; otherwise, he alone would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Wow, Your Majesty, you actually schemed against me and told me so directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hehe, then I'll tell you some more things. I hope you can completely attract the Imperial Teacher's attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No... absolutely not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The address of the Star-Gazing Tower was in the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace, and it was also the tallest building in the Imperial City, with a total of ten floors. The Imperial Teacher lived on the tenth floor. There was usually only the Imperial Teacher in the tower, but attendants would be sent to clean the tower regularly. However, it was rumored that the attendants who went in to clean would often become mentally deranged after coming out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was rumored that the Imperial Teacher could live forever. No one knew his specific age, and he had already assisted five Emperor Tianwu Emperors. Each Emperor Tianwu Emperor's term was sixty years. Now three hundred years had passed, and the Imperial Teacher still lived in the Star-Gazing Tower, still as young as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some said the Imperial Teacher had peeked into the secrets of heaven and had long since become immortal; others guessed that the Imperial Teacher relied on the Star-Gazing Tower to cover his own aura, making it impossible for heaven to find him, thereby indirectly living forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But how exactly did the Imperial Teacher's secret of eternal life work? No one knew, and probably only the Imperial Teacher himself knew clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Star-Gazing Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Emperor Tianwu the 22nd and Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji visited late at night. The two had just walked to the front of the Star-Gazing Tower when the tightly closed door of the Star-Gazing Tower was suddenly opened from the inside out. Bursts of gloomy wind immediately came out of the room, accompanied by a woman's eerie laughter, which couldn't help but make people's hair stand on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those who didn't know thought this was some gloomy and strange place, while the informed Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji and Emperor Tianwu the 22nd looked at each other, their faces carrying a few points of awe. They were not in awe of the strange movements and eerie laughter coming from the room; they were only in awe of the Imperial Teacher living on the tenth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Entering the first floor of the Star-Gazing Tower was like entering the Avici Hell. The door behind them closed, and the air was filled with the smell of corruption and blood. The hanging ghost fire decorations flickered, and water constantly dripped in the corner onto a pile of white bones. From it, a pair of scarlet eyes seemed to be constantly observing the two people who entered. In the grooves on both sides of the road, unknown bright red liquid flowed, occasionally bubbling up. When the bubbles broke, they would emit a foul smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Emperor Tianwu the 22nd and Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji walked at a steady pace to the deepest part and then walked up the stairs. The second floor was still like an Avici Hell. The difference from the first floor was that on the stone pillars here, flesh-and-blood bodies were tied up, and white bones were constantly using whips to whip the bodies tied to the pillars. The bodies would also twist, and even scream because of the whipping, and the blood would drip along the stone pillars into the grooves and flow to the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everything here was too real.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was as if it were happening tragically before their eyes. This Star-Gazing Tower was not a place to peek into heaven's secrets at all, but a living purgatory!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, Emperor Tianwu the 22nd and Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji were not here for the first time. They deeply knew that these were just hallucinations, and this depended on the Imperial Teacher's strange temper and philosophy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Imperial Teacher believed that everything in the world was undergoing an endless eternal cycle. People were like this, and the world was like this. Life and death were just two extreme forms of opposition, yet they depended on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Reincarnation was the only theme of the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The original intention of building the Star-Gazing Tower was to peek into that trace of different opportunity in this cycle of life and death! Thus, every floor of the Star-Gazing Tower was a different scene, and also represented different meanings.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were no stairs from the fifth floor up. The only entrance was that light circle. Through the light circle, opening their eyes again, the two had arrived at the sixth floor, where the environment had completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the spring fields, hardworking farmers sowed new seeds, looking forward to the harvest in autumn. In a nearby village, beside a simple wooden house, an anxious husband walked back and forth. Accompanied by the sound of a baby crying in the room, a new life was born, and the husband and the weak wife both showed incredibly gratified smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seventh floor, the baby grew up, and the young man traveled everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Eighth floor, the young man also entered middle age, gradually settling down in a strange city, marrying a wife and having children.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ninth floor, the middle-aged man turned into a person lying on a hospital bed, reaching the age of twilight, waiting for death to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After that... there was no after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everything moved from the end of death to life, and from the beginning of life to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The scene changed, and Emperor Tianwu the 22nd and Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji woke up from the illusion, returning to the real ninth floor of the Star-Gazing Tower. The environment here was similar to a circular exhibition hall. In the center floated a star map that could be adjusted at will, covered with stars in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The position they stood in was just a position beside the star map. There was no one around, obviously the Imperial Teacher hadn't come yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I really don't know why the Imperial Teacher has to show them reincarnation every time someone comes. What kind of bad taste is this?\" Taking advantage of the fact that the Imperial Teacher hadn't come yet, Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji quickly complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was hard to imagine that the Legion Commander of the Eternal Night Legion, at this moment, had no dignity that a Legion Commander should have, but instead was commenting like a tourist sightseeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These words scared Emperor Tianwu the 22nd on the side, his face changed in shock, and he directly covered his mouth, \"Shh, Lord Xuan Wuji, shut up. I don't want to be tortured by the Imperial Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In front of the Imperial Teacher, the two of them were undoubtedly like two fragile children. Since childhood, they had been taught by the Imperial Teacher. This deep psychological shadow was only known to the parties involved. Of course, the teaching environment was not in the Star-Gazing Tower, but in the Imperial Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Imperial Teacher was known for being a famous chatterbox and having a strange temper, fickle and moody. They had grown up suffering from the Imperial Teacher's verbal torture since childhood. What they feared most was being called by the Imperial Teacher for a private talk. This kind of talk lasted from one or two hours to a whole day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Try to imagine, for one or two hours, or even a whole day, talking non-stop in your ear, saying things you don't understand, from astronomy, stars, down to geography, humanities, history, all kinds of non-repeating topics, one after another. What a terrifying torture it was for the spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The key was that the Imperial Teacher talked eloquently, not caring at all whether you understood or not. In short, as long as he was happy, when to stop completely depended on his mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji nodded, only then realizing that it was already the ninth floor of the Star-Gazing Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What was the Imperial Teacher researching recently? It was not impossible that he overheard their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I have already heard it... hehe, you two little guys, you dare to speak ill of me in my Star-Gazing Tower!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Imperial Teacher's aged and powerful voice suddenly sounded in the minds of the two. The panicked two instantly turned pale, and only one thought flashed in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finished!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, on the tenth floor of the Star-Gazing Tower, which was not open to anyone, it was like a sci-fi operation cabin. A child-like boy was operating an integrated advanced mechanical device with his hands. The dazzling variety of buttons on it—red, green, blue, and various warning lights—were countless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the boy was staring at one of the screens, which showed Emperor Tianwu the 22nd and Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji. As his hands quickly typed a line of words, his brain hesitated whether to press enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Your intentions, I have already known. Regarding the content of the Heavenly Book, I have nothing to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After thinking about it, he deleted the original words and typed a line again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Heavenly Book is born, it is a blessing, not a curse; if it is a curse, you cannot hide from it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After confirming, the boy directly pressed the enter key.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately, this sentence appeared in their minds again in the image of an aged and powerful old man's voice. They didn't notice any abnormality and couldn't refuse, so they could only passively accept it. This made Lord Xuan Lord Xuan Wuji and Emperor Tianwu the 22nd even more in awe of the Imperial Teacher, bowing to the void to express their gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Your doubts have been resolved, you can go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The voice sounded again. The two were quite puzzled. They thought they would have to accompany the Imperial Teacher for at least another night, but the Imperial Teacher let them go so easily. Could it be that the Imperial Teacher finally realized that he was a chatterbox?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, it was not so. The boy was just suddenly more interested in one person, and his gaze was even a bit distracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lin Cheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>....... ........ 0\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A dead person who should have entered the eternal reincarnation had inexplicably resurrected, and now had become the Empire's fourth eighth-tier blacksmith, with far-reaching influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is this a BUG that newly appeared in this world? Let's observe it for now.\" The boy whispered like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A night without words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhai Family Medical Clinic.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Old Cheng, who had been in a coma for nearly a day and a night, hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time. His confused consciousness was resting comfortably on his side. His left leg was a bit itchy, and he unconsciously let the other leg's foot scratch it, the force of which was just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So comfortable!\" Old Cheng muttered unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But soon, he reacted. He didn't have a right leg at all, so how did he let his left leg stop the itch?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under the command of his brain, his right leg reacted immediately. When a question was just realized, the feeling from the brain was completely different. As his brain consciousness gradually cleared, he habitually let his left leg touch his right leg, but this time the feeling was full, and the right leg even transmitted the information of touching the right leg to the left leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How is this possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Am I dreaming?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>·······Seeking flowers····· ·····\u003C\u002Fp>",1972,"2026-06-16T12:13:34.850Z","2026-06-17T08:53:56.698Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","23f62792bc04a7094bea1727d5a567b2b4e8d422a4878aa0c3f00bbc6a73bc08","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-580","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-578",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fin-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-cover.jpg"]
