Chapter 2161: The Dragon Clan of Onlookers
In Lin Moyuâs plan, after dealing with the various clans, the final task was to handle the cosmic beasts.
He knew that many cosmic beasts came from different realms and were not native to the great world.
Their existence was also a burden for the great world.
Previously, he couldnât figure out how to distinguish them, but now a few casual conversations gave him an idea.
"It seems that to solve this problem, Iâll ultimately need to trouble the Celestial Dragon."
"The dragon pearl must be retrieved. Only then can I get the Celestial Dragon to help me."
Lin Moyu had already thought of a method in his mind.
Little Ox asked curiously from the side, "Master, you still havenât told Little Ox why you want to seal off the border area."
Lin Moyu took a sip of tea and smiled, "Itâs a long story, involving the ancient great war."
Little Ox said, "I know about the ancient great war. My blood inheritance contains some information about it."
"My ancestors participated in that war. At that time, we were a large clan, but almost all of us died in that war."
"But what does that war from so long ago have to do with us now?"
It spoke without sadness, as the ancient war was too distant for it to empathize with.
Little Oxâs thinking was simple - eat well, drink well, sleep well, and then do whatever it wanted without constraints. This was its ideal ox life.
If it could be more perfect, it would find a female ox and have a litter of calves.
Lin Moyu said, "The great world is about to end."
Little Ox jumped up suddenly, its eyes wide open, "Master, donât scare the ox."
Lin Moyu glanced at it, "Iâm not scaring you. If we donât do something, the great world will truly end soon."
"When that time comes, neither you nor I will escape death."
"Now the great world faces both internal and external troubles. What Iâm doing is solving the internal troubles of the great world, then focusing all efforts on dealing with external threats."
Seeing Lin Moyuâs expression, Little Ox immediately became serious, "Little Ox doesnât understand much, but Little Ox knows that the great world is my home, and Little Ox canât be without a home."
"Moreover, Little Ox still wants to find many female oxen and have many little oxen."
Reproduction was a mission ingrained in its bones, awakening along with its bloodline.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Then do as I say. I believe the great world can still be saved."
Little Ox smiled, "Little Ox believes in Master. Master is the best."
Little Ox was quick to flatter, whether it worked or not, flattery was never wrong.
Lin Moyu changed the subject, "How much do you know about the Celestial Dragon in the border area?"
Little Ox shook its head, "Actually, I donât know much. When my bloodline awakened, the Celestial Dragon was already there."
"We all know the Celestial Dragon is from the dragon clan, but no one dares to mention it. The Celestial Dragon greatly dislikes the dragon clan."
The "we" Little Ox referred to meant those cosmic beasts that had already awakened intelligence.
Little Oxâs bloodline was very ancient, traceable back to ancient times.
The fact that it had survived until now proved that Little Oxâs clan had once been powerful.
As far as Lin Moyu knew, cosmic beasts had indeed participated in the wars of ancient times, and countless cosmic beasts had died then.
Later, when it was discovered that people from the Black Blood Realm could control cosmic beasts, Lin Moyu had once considered exterminating all cosmic beasts.
But now it seemed that shouldnât be the case.
Just as alien races should be divided into friends and enemies, cosmic beasts should also be distinguished between native and foreign, not lumped together.
For humans and the great world, severing karma was an enormous plan that couldnât be perfect from the start. It could only be changed step by step as events unfolded.
Lin Moyuâs voice became quiet and calm, "Little Ox, do you know about the dragon clan?"
Little Ox mooed, "I know a little bit, but not much."
"Tell me about it!"
Little Ox possessed partial blood memory, so it knew some extremely ancient matters.
Lin Moyu was just probing, and indeed, it did know something.
At this moment, Little Ox felt that this master seemed quite nice, quite amiable when not fighting and killing.
Little Ox actually loved to chat. Having gained intelligence, it spent all day with a bunch of unintelligent creatures and couldnât find a female ox.
It spent most of its time sleeping and was actually very bored, very much enjoying finding someone to talk to.
"The dragon clan probably isnât native to the great world."
"In the memories of my ancestors, they greatly respected the dragon clan, but no one knew why the dragon clan came to the great world."
"It seems that at that time, humans and dragons often interacted, but gradually grew apart later."
"Maybe it was because the dragon clan didnât help humans during the ancient great war."
"Especially in the recent tens of thousands of years, the dragon clan has basically gone into seclusion, rarely seen."
From Little Oxâs description, Lin Moyu vaguely sensed the special nature of the dragon clan.
He had long suspected that the dragon clan wasnât actually native to the great world.
During the ancient great war, the dragon clan indeed didnât intervene. If the dragon clan were truly native to the great world, they would have had no reason not to act.
They seemed more like bystanders, clearly in the great world yet only coldly observing, never interfering in the affairs of the great world.
The survival or destruction of the great world had nothing to do with them.
But if the dragon clan wasnât native to the great world, why did they come to the great world?
Then there was the insect clan. The dragon clan and insect clan were at odds, seemingly having a grudge. The insect clan likewise wasnât native to the great world.
Lin Moyu felt that the great world seemed to still have many secrets he didnât know about, and his own small world similarly had secrets.
At least the matter of the God Tower was still a mystery until now.
Given the chance, he planned to go back to the small world to take a look.
He couldnât return, as Antares had warned him not to go back.
But looking from afar shouldnât be a problem.
Half a month later, the warship finally arrived at the Xuanwu Star Region.
Hao Shengzun had long been waiting there, with over a thousand warships neatly floating behind him.
Each warship had the ability to navigate deep space. In front of the warships stood various Divine Venerable, all high-level Divine Venerable.
Lin Moyu bowed to everyone, "Junior pays respects to Hao Shengzun and all the seniors."
These Divine Venerable had serious expressions and didnât smile, only slightly nodding to Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu could sense that the aura around them was unusual, unlike soldiers or ordinary cultivators from families.
Hao Shengzun chuckled, "Donât be surprised, theyâre always like this."
"These are the private troops Iâve personally trained for my family. In terms of combat power, they surpass ordinary cultivators, and they can form battle formations. Even facing Transcendent Realm opponents, they can still fight."
Hao Shengzun wasnât alone; he had a family and several disciples. This was common knowledge.
Not just Hao Shengzun, but other Venerable were the same.
Lin Moyu wasnât surprised, he just hadnât expected Hao Shengzun to deploy his familyâs private troops this time.
Hao Shengzun continued, "These people are absolutely loyal to me and wonât leak information, so you can rest assured."
So thatâs why Hao Shengzun had dismissed others and used his own private troops instead.
It had to be said, he had thought it through very carefully.
Lin Moyu didnât stand on ceremony either, getting straight to the point, "I have a team here that I plan to put under your joint command."
"Weâll split into two routes and sweep through simultaneously. Those alien race people can leave, but the star systems canât be moved!"
Under Hao Shengzunâs gaze, Lin Moyu called out Little Ox.
