 Chapter 3247: I Would Choose the Same if I Were in Their Position

Antares fully demonstrated the dragon race's protectiveness, as well as his domineering nature.

No matter how useless the dragon race was in his words, they were still his own useless ones, and it wasn't for outsiders to interfere.

After issuing a warning, Antares turned and left without any lingering.

Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Moyu without saying much.

Lin Moyu read some information from his gaze. Antares was clearly saying that Lin Moyu wasn't strong enough yet, and he was still waiting for him.

Indeed, he wasn't strong enough. Regardless of combat power, if the realm wasn't there, it wasn't there.

He currently didn't have the qualifications to accompany Antares, to kill their way beyond the sky, to kill into the Heavenly Dao.

Even if his combat power reached the Great Dao realm, without sufficient realm, he still couldn't go up. This was a hard barrier; realm was the stepping stone.

Lin Moyu took a deep breath and looked at the Three Lives Buddha Patriarch.

At this moment, the Three Lives Buddha Patriarch had already split into three, becoming an Ancient Buddha with a nine-wheel halo.

His realm had been forcibly stripped by Antares, no longer at the pseudo-Nine Wheels Unified state.

However, the Three Lives Buddha Patriarch didn't seem particularly disappointed.

After splitting into three, two of the bodies sat cross-legged, chanting scriptures. Only one looked at Lin Moyu with a very complex gaze.

In his hand, he held a small pagoda with a green lamp on it, which was Green Lamp Ancient Buddha.

Lin Moyu said, "Let's reintroduce ourselves. Human Lin Moyu greets Green Lamp Ancient Buddha."

Lin Moyu spoke politely, his tone calm, without a trace of worldly air.

No one could have imagined that just moments ago, this fellow had killed dozens of Ancient Buddhas with a wave of his hand, including a nine-wheel Ancient Buddha.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha sighed deeply, chanting a Buddha's name, "Amitabha, Green Lamp greets Friend Lin."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "What do you plan to do now? Continue fighting?"

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha revealed a bitter smile. What was there to fight? How could they fight now?

If he had known earlier that the dragon race had such a powerful god behind them, he wouldn't have come up with this plan at all.

Now they had not only failed to seize the dragon race's destiny, but his own realm had been weakened, and the Buddhist clan's destiny had been greatly damaged as a result.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha shook his head lightly, "The hell fragment is not in Green Lamp's possession."

Lin Moyu nodded, "I know. You should have given the hell fragment to the Netherworld race."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha was slightly surprised, then sighed, "Indeed, Friend Lin has guessed correctly. It seems what Friend Lin said before was just probing."

Lin Moyu smiled, "It was just a guess at the time. But since you couldn't produce it for so long, the guess became fact."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha said, "For Friend Lin to guess to this extent is already beyond what ordinary people can do. This old monk is ashamed to be inferior."

Lin Moyu said, "You're not bad either. Although what you did is a great evil to the dragon race, it's a great good for the Buddhist clan. I can understand it too."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha chanted another Buddha's name, "Amitabha, the Buddhist clan is weak, with no one beyond the sky. If danger comes again, I fear we won't have the power to protect ourselves."

Lin Moyu understood his concerns. If he were in the same position, perhaps he would make a similar choice.

Human nature is selfish, and so is Buddha nature.

Everyone is a living being on the Origin Continent, and there's essentially no difference.

Sacrificing others for one's own benefit is a very normal thing.

It's just that everyone's interests are different, so conflicts arise between them.

There's often no reason to explain many things. The conflict between the dragon race and insect race has never been known why; in any case, they're mortal enemies, and there's no reason to explain that either.

Lin Moyu said, "So what will Green Lamp Ancient Buddha do next?"

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha said softly, "I won't give up. If this path is blocked, then I'll find another way. If I can't find it, then I'll leave it to future generations."

Lin Moyu now took out the Seven Treasures Pagoda, "This pagoda was originally intended to exchange for the hell fragment. Now that the hell fragment isn't here, and I've killed quite a few of your people, let's use this treasure to pay the debt."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha looked at the Seven Treasures Pagoda, his eyes revealing an unusual light.

Clearly, he cared very much about the Seven Treasures Pagoda. Lin Moyu didn't know why, but he could see that the Seven Treasures Pagoda seemed very important.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha's gaze swept over the remaining three nine-wheel Ancient Buddhas, "What do you all think?"

The three nine-wheel Ancient Buddhas said in unison, "We'll follow the Three Lives Buddha Patriarch's decision."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha said, "If that's the case, then this old monk will make the decision. The previous matters each have their own karma, and under karma, all is predetermined. The matters between our Buddhist clan and Friend Lin will be put to rest here. Let no one mention it again."

"Amitabha, great virtue!" The three nine-wheel Ancient Buddhas all spoke up, agreeing with Green Lamp Ancient Buddha's words.

As for the other Buddhas, naturally they wouldn't have any opinions, nor would they dare to have any opinions.

They were all smart people and could see that they were at a disadvantage now.

Lin Moyu alone was terrifying enough, and then there was a group of dragons present. If they fought again, the Buddhist clan would likely face great disaster.

Lin Moyu handed the Seven Treasures Pagoda to Green Lamp Ancient Buddha, and at the same time said, "There's one more thing. As I said before, I need to take back the item in Yellow Eyebrow Ancient Buddha's possession."

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha looked up, his gaze sweeping over to an Ancient Buddha with golden eyebrows, "Yellow Eyebrow, please return Friend Lin's item."

Yellow Eyebrow had just escaped the chain lightning thanks to the Buddha Seed Bag.

Now hearing Green Lamp Ancient Buddha's words, no matter how unwilling he was, he didn't dare not to hand it over.

He took out the reincarnation treasure from the Buddha Seed Bag.

The reincarnation treasure was like a pearl, emitting a blue light, accompanied by an intense cold aura.

It was obviously not an ordinary treasure at first glance.

Yellow Eyebrow Ancient Buddha was clearly very reluctant but also very helpless. He could only hand the treasure to Green Lamp Ancient Buddha, who then passed it to Lin Moyu.

He had studied this treasure for over ten years but hadn't really figured out much. He just felt unwilling to part with it.

But thinking of Lin Moyu's methods, he felt that his life was much more important than this treasure.

Lin Moyu received Little Mei's reincarnation treasure and smiled slightly, "Then many thanks to Yellow Eyebrow Ancient Buddha."

Yellow Eyebrow Ancient Buddha immediately said, "Friend Lin is too kind. This old monk obtained this item by chance. I didn't expect it to be Friend Lin's thing. Now it can be considered returned to its rightful owner."

Lin Moyu smiled and didn't say anything more. He turned to look at Ao Luo and the others, "Great Elder Ao Luo, do you still plan to continue fighting?"

Ao Luo thought for a moment and shook his head, "The Dragon Congregation has been destroyed. We no longer need to continue."

He was very smart. If Antares really wanted to destroy the dragon race, he would have done it directly earlier.

For Antares, killing these nine-wheel Ancient Buddhas, let alone wiping out the Buddhist clan, wasn't a difficult task.

As long as the nine-wheel Ancient Buddhas died, it would be easy for them to destroy the Buddhist clan.

But Antares didn't act, only reducing the Three Lives Buddha Patriarch's realm.

The meaning of this couldn't be clearer. He wanted to maintain a balance between the Buddhist clan and the dragon race, and had no intention of destroying the Buddhist clan.

So Ao Luo wouldn't act now either.

Lin Moyu said, "If that's the case, then Elder Ao Luo should go back. After all, this is the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. The Buddhist light shines everywhere. It's not good for you to stay too long."

Ao Luo understood Lin Moyu's meaning, "Thank you for your help, Friend Lin. Our dragon race will remember this favor. In the future, if Friend Lin has time, please come visit the dragon race."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "I will come."
