Catastrophic Necromancer TL

 Chapter 3248: The Key is How to Give It

The great battle ended, and the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss returned to peace, though it was now in ruins.

In this battle, the Buddhist clan suffered heavy losses without gaining any advantage, instead paying a great price.

Their original plan had no problems. The issue arose because of Lin Moyu.

If Lin Moyu had come even a month later, everything would have been resolved.

In the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, the Buddhas retreated and began repairing the damage.

Only Green Lamp Ancient Buddha and Lin Moyu remained.

Lin Moyu stayed behind to speak further with Green Lamp Ancient Buddha.

Though he disliked the Buddhist clan, he didn't intend to become mortal enemies with them.

Lin Moyu said, "Buddha Patriarch Green Lamp, have you considered what would have happened if I hadn't come today?"

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha chanted a Buddha's name, "Amitabha. If Friend Lin hadn't arrived today, I fear our clan would have faced great calamity, with the entire clan's destruction imminent."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha understood clearly that if his plan had succeeded and the dragon race was destroyed, the moment the news spread would have been when great disaster befell the Buddhist clan.

Because of Antares' existence, they couldn't have taken the dragon race's destiny, so he couldn't have achieved Nine Wheels Unification through this.

If Antares came looking for them then, he wouldn't have been as polite as today.

With Great Dao realm power, the Buddhist clan's destruction would have been instantaneous.

From this perspective, although Lin Moyu disrupted his plan, he had actually indirectly saved the Buddhist clan.

So Green Lamp Ancient Buddha didn't hate Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu asked, "The rights and wrongs, causes and effects of this matter are indeed difficult to explain clearly. This Lin came here with selfish motives too."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha said, "This old monk understands. If Friend Lin has any requests, please speak freely. As long as this old monk can do it, I won't refuse."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "The Buddhist clan's inheritance doesn't come from the Origin Continent. The same is true for the insect race. This Lin has a great hobby in life - I like to seek the root of everything."

Hearing this, Green Lamp Ancient Buddha understood Lin Moyu's meaning.

He took out a Buddhist bead and placed it on his brow. The bead slowly began to glow.

After a moment, Green Lamp Ancient Buddha handed the bead to Lin Moyu, "Everything this old monk knows is in here. Actually, this old monk doesn't know too much. Time is long, and too many things have been buried by the years."

"If Friend Lin wants to seek more information, perhaps you can only go there."

As Green Lamp Ancient Buddha spoke, his gaze inadvertently looked towards the sky.

The "there" he referred to was beyond the sky.

Perhaps only in the Great Dao beyond the sky were there buried years.

Only from the mouths of ancient beings who had survived the great calamity could all veils of the ancient war be lifted.

But before that, Lin Moyu first needed to obtain the qualifications to go beyond the sky.

Lin Moyu didn't immediately examine the bead. He believed Green Lamp Ancient Buddha wouldn't speak nonsense. After putting away the bead, Lin Moyu said softly, "Then this Lin will take his leave."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha bowed to Lin Moyu, "Amitabha, Friend Lin, take care on your journey."

Lin Moyu left the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. The Lufen Chamber of Commerce's warship was still waiting outside. Lu Shudao seemed to be waiting for Lin Moyu.

Seeing Lin Moyu come out, Lu Shudao immediately went to greet him and transmitted, "Mr. Lin, there's a message from the Three Ancestors."

Lin Moyu asked, "What did the Three Ancestors say?"

Lu Shudao continued transmitting, "The Three Ancestors said the matter is done. Mr. Lin's guess was correct."

Lin Moyu's lips revealed a slight smile. It seemed the Netherworld race and Hundred Herbs Alliance had both made their moves.

However, they were blocked by the Three Ancestors. He just didn't know if the two sides had actually fought.

It seemed they wouldn't have fought. The Three Ancestors was in the Great Dao realm. The two races wouldn't be so unwise.

Even Withering and Flourishing Elder wouldn't want to directly clash with the Three Ancestors.

In any case, this matter could be considered completed.

Lin Moyu said, "Please trouble Senior Lu to pass on a message to the Three Ancestors. Tell him that when this Lin returns, I will naturally fulfill my promise."

Lu Shudao chuckled, "The Three Ancestors also said he believes Mr. Lin won't renege on the debt, so there's no need to rush."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Alright, matters here are concluded. This Lin will take his leave."

Lu Shudao continued asking, "Where is Mr. Lin going? This Lu can send Mr. Lin there."

Lin Moyu shook his head, "I want to go by myself."

Seeing Lin Moyu say this, Lu Shudao naturally wouldn't insist. He cupped his hands towards Lin Moyu, "Then I wish Mr. Lin all the best. We'll meet again if fate allows."

The two bid farewell, and Lu Shudao left with the warship.

He had certainly already transmitted the news back. As for how the information would ultimately be spread and which parts would be circulated, the Lufen Chamber of Commerce would naturally have discretion.

However, Lin Moyu felt that the true process of what happened here wouldn't appear in the world.

Most people didn't have the qualifications to know what happened here. What they would know would only be the tip of the iceberg.

Lin Moyu left the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss and continued advancing through Buddhist lands.

Little Mei followed behind Lin Moyu again, still sitting on the Cloud-Piercing Sword to cultivate.

Little Mei had woken up once before, talked with Lin Moyu for a while, eaten a good meal, slept, and then started cultivating again.

She had already entered the door and was now building her foundation.

Lin Moyu didn't immediately give her the reincarnation treasure. He would definitely give it to her, but the key was how to give it.

Lin Moyu never denied he had selfish motives. One reason he was willing to help Little Mei was because of her destiny.

Once Little Mei obtained the reincarnation treasure and recovered her past life memories, understanding her identity, her destiny would greatly increase.

At that time, if Little Mei didn't acknowledge being his disciple, he wouldn't gain much destiny.

So how to give it was crucial.

As he advanced, Lin Moyu examined the information in the Buddhist bead.

As Green Lamp Ancient Buddha had said, he didn't know too much.

He knew the Buddhist clan's inheritance didn't come from the Origin Continent, but he didn't know exactly where it came from.

The Buddhist clan's inheritance appeared long after the Origin Catastrophe had passed.

At that time, the Western Continent was desolate. The dragon race had just taken root, and the insect race appeared soon after. The two sides fought bitterly for unknown reasons.

The Hundred Herbs Alliance in the northeast of the Western Continent had also been established.

At that time, the dragon race and insect race occupied most of the Western Continent. Along with the Hundred Herbs Alliance, it could be said that the Western Continent was the domain of these three races.

As for the Southern Continent, the human race had begun dividing territory, with various forces emerging. The Lufen Chamber of Commerce also appeared then.

In the Northern Continent, the beast race was led by the Beast Emperor, ending the great war and achieving unification.

Only the Eastern Continent remained chaotic.

It was in this environment that the Buddhist clan sprouted. The first ancestor of the Buddhist clan didn't choose to go to the Eastern Continent, nor did he choose the Southern or Northern Continents. Instead, he established the Buddhist clan on the Western Continent where three powers were in a standoff.

At first, the Buddhist clan was very weak, occupying an area smaller than the most ordinary Buddha nation.

But as time passed, the Buddhist clan gradually grew stronger. More and more people joined the Buddhist clan. And because the dragon race and insect race were fighting to the death, while the Hundred Herbs Alliance remained uninvolved,

Eventually, the Western Continent changed from a three-way standoff to four races coexisting.

Moreover, the territory occupied by the Buddhist clan had surpassed the other three races.

However, the Buddhist clan's upper echelons were also clear that they had no one in the sky. Unlike the dragon race and Hundred Herbs Alliance, they had no Great Dao realm backing. They were the weakest of the four.

Once danger descended again, the Buddhist clan certainly couldn't protect themselves.

So Nine Wheels Unification became the obsession of generation after generation of the Buddhist clan.
