He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 437 History Will Not Change
Seeing that Ma Ningyan's breathing was unstable and blood was still oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Lin reached out his hand to hold her, and said, "The Taoist master of Xujian Dao took action and subdued the Buddha and took him away."

"Master of the Void Guardian Sect?"

Ma Ningyan was a little stunned: "Why did she take action?"

Ma Ningyan knew that the powerful clans had gone to the Taoist sect and asked them to stop aiding Daqian.

Xie Zimo and others have already returned to the mountain.

Xie Yushuang no longer used the magic [Xingluo] to plan for him, otherwise, he would not have needed to bring so many military advisers with him on this expedition.

At this moment, when Ma Ningyan heard that the Taoist master of Xujian Dao had personally taken action and subdued the Buddha, she was naturally very surprised.

Jiang Lin said: "That Taoist master said that the Buddha can save the Taoist sect from disaster, but I am not very clear about the details."

"The calamity of the Dao Sect?"

Jiang Lin did not explain to her, although he knew the so-called disaster would probably happen hundreds of years later when Emperor Shun would take action against the Taoist sect.

But there was a hidden story behind this disaster that Jiang Lin was unaware of.

In addition, Emperor Shun is the son of Ma Ningyan, and Taoism has its own roots, so Jiang Lin can't say too much.

He simply pretended to be clueless and said, "Anyway, the matter has been resolved, which saves us some effort."

Ma Ningyan nodded. She had experienced the power of the Buddha.

It's hard to win the fight with just the people we have now.

Ma Ningyan looked at the Xumi Wheel that was being worn away by the golden blue dragon and the fiery red dragon, and asked, "That thing..."

"This is the root of the Buddha's misfortune. Although the spiritual incarnation of the Buddha has been cut off, new spiritualities will still be born over time."

Jiang Lin said: "I think we should destroy it completely to prevent future troubles."

The emergence of asceticism in later generations was partly due to the Sumeru Chakra.

If this magical weapon is not destroyed, the remnants of the Buddhist kingdom will be difficult to eliminate.

Ma Ningyan did not object and nodded, "Then destroy it!"

At this moment, someone climbed up from the bottom of the mountain. He was a general at the peak of Yuanwu realm.

His face was gloomy, and he said, "General, children and women are dying in large numbers down the mountain. I don't know why."

Ma Ningyan's face changed slightly. Massive death?

“Could it be the work of the Buddhists?”

The general shook his head and said, "The Buddha's devilish voice will make the soldiers melt like ice and snow under the scorching sun, but those children and women died silently. There is a big difference."

Ma Ningyan couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only look at Jiang Lin and asked, "Grandpa Hong, do you know why?"

Jiang Lin looked at the Sumeru Wheel. After hearing Jiang Lin's words, his first thought was that this magical weapon was causing trouble.

When he said he wanted to destroy the Sumeru Wheel, Ma Ningyan had no objection at all.

Why did the Sumeru Wheel still survive for hundreds of years?
The only reason could be that something went wrong, preventing them from destroying the Sumeru Wheel.

And this problem is probably related to the children and women at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Lin hesitated and wanted to keep silent and wait until the Sumeru Wheel was completely destroyed.

Although those children and women are innocent, if the root of evil, the Sumeru Wheel, is not eliminated, perhaps a second man-eating Buddha will be born in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin simply hardened his heart and said, "I don't know either."

Ma Ningyan frowned. She was at a loss as she couldn't get an answer from Jiang Lin.

At this moment, Ma Ningyan suddenly had an idea and asked, "When you came here, did you see what happened to those people on the mountain?"

The general quickly said: "They also died in large numbers."

Ma Ningyan immediately turned her head to look at the Sumeru Wheel that was being constantly destroyed. From the size of a mountain, it had now shrunk by more than 30% to 40%.

She had an inexplicable intuition in her heart. Could it be that the deaths of those people were related to the Sumeru Wheel?
Ma Ningyan immediately said to Jiang Lin: "Grandpa Hong, please take back the method. I suspect that the deaths of those people may be due to the Sumeru Wheel."

Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat. He didn't say it, but Ma Ningyan could guess it?

He pretended not to know and said, "What connection could there be? You're probably overthinking it."

“Not necessarily.” Ma Ningyan said solemnly, “The people of the Buddha Kingdom are all controlled by the incarnation of the Sumeru Wheel, the Buddha. Maybe their lives have long been connected to this thing. If the Sumeru Wheel is destroyed, they will all die.”

"This is just your guess, it may not be true."

"So please, Grandpa Hong, please withdraw your tricks first and let me verify this. If I'm wrong, it won't be too late to destroy this thing later."

Jiang Lin really wanted to say that it doesn’t matter whether your guess is right or not.

The important thing is to destroy the Sumeru Wheel first, even if more people die.

But when he saw the determination in Ma Ningyan's eyes, Jiang Lin sighed in his heart.

As expected, history is destined. No matter what choice you make, it will always go smoothly by chance.

You think you made a different choice, but in fact it was just inevitable.

Unless Jiang Lin remained indifferent at this moment, he would destroy the Sumeru Wheel even if it meant falling out with Ma Ningyan.

But then again, even if they fall out, will history really change?
Could there be other changes that would cause the Sumeru Wheel to remain?

"Grandpa Hong?"

Jiang Lin didn't say anything. With a thought, the two real dragons transformed from the gold essence and the fire essence immediately flew back.

Ma Ningyan immediately said to the general: "Go and investigate quickly!"

The general responded quickly and turned to go down the mountain.

Ma Ningyan looked at Jiang Lin and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Hong. If we verify that this matter has nothing to do with the Xumi Wheel, I will not be lenient."

Jiang Lin sighed and said, "What if it is related?"

Ma Ningyan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this possibility was not impossible, but very high.

If it is related, will Sumeru Wheel not care about it?
What if a second Buddha is born?
Jiang Lin glanced down the mountain and said, "There's still time. You can think about it carefully."

Ma Ningyan didn't say anything. She was indeed thinking about this matter and how to deal with it.

His brows were furrowed, like a lock.

Not long after, the general went up the mountain again.

There was a hint of joy on his face: "General, as expected, no one on or off the mountain has died for no reason!" However, he was the only one who was laughing. Neither Jiang Lin nor Ma Ningyan showed any smile at all.

The general was a little stunned, then turned his head to look at the still huge Sumeru Wheel, and seemed to understand something vaguely.

Jiang Lin did not urge her and waited quietly for Ma Ningyan to make a decision.

After a long time, Ma Ningyan finally let out a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Lin: "Grandpa Hong, I have a plan, I don't know if it will work."

When Jiang Lin heard this, he was already disappointed.

Since it is a strategy, it is obviously based on the premise of not destroying the Sumeru Wheel.

No matter what strategy is used, in his opinion it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

But he still said, "Tell me about it."

"Since the Sumeru Wheel is connected to the vitality of those people, destroying it would be like killing them."

"But on the other hand, if they died, the Sumeru Wheel would also be damaged."

"So it is better to disperse those people. When they grow old and die, the Sumeru Wheel will be weakened continuously."

"In this way, we can gradually destroy this thing without getting our hands stained with blood. What do you think, Grandpa Hong?"

Jiang Lin was speechless. What Ma Ningyan said was theoretically feasible.

The Sumeru Wheel of later generations is indeed very weak.

Not only is its spirituality in its infancy, it also requires the joint control of the Four Saints of the Shimen Sect to unleash some of its power.

But no matter how weak it is, even if everyone on the planet dies, this magical weapon will not destroy itself.

As a result, after a hundred thousand years of hard training, Sangzhou became dark and gloomy, and the people were living in misery.

There is a kind of persistence in Ma Ningyan's eyes, which can be called stubbornness.

She obviously wasn't willing to sacrifice so many innocent lives just to destroy this evil weapon.

Jiang Lin could only say, "Think carefully. Although this thing can be weakened, it may take a long time. And during this period, people in a thousand miles radius may still suffer."

"Will it be like now?" Ma Ningyan asked.

Jiang Lin thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "Probably not, but the people may have a hard time."

Ma Ningyan was obviously relieved and said, "That's good."

She has seen too much misery in the world, and being able to be alive is good enough, so she wouldn't ask for too much.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin said no more and only asked: "What about the millions of people on Mount Xumi? With your strength, I'm afraid you can't save them all."

Although Mount Sumeru no longer has any abnormalities, it is still part of the Sumeru Wheel.

Those people on the mountain had been injured for a long time.

What would it matter even if we rescued them?
Daqian had just been born, and only its military strength was the strongest, while other aspects were in a state of disrepair.

There are millions of seriously injured and dying people. Unless the Taoist sect and the powerful clans put all their efforts to help, it would be a foolish dream to save them.

But if left alone, these people will eventually become nutrients for the Sumeru Wheel and help this magical weapon recover again.

Ma Ningyan's eyes regained calmness again.

After thinking for a moment, she said in a deep voice: "Destroy those people and this mountain together!"

Jiang Lin stopped talking. Everything was roughly the same as the history he knew.

Since Ma Ningyan has made the decision, there is no point in saying more.

Afterwards, the injured Shenwu Realm warriors and those who died here were sent down the mountain.

Along the way, Ma Ningyan looked at those people hanging between the rocks with numb expressions, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

These people may not know where they come from or what they want to do since they were born.

Their entire lives are dedicated to the growth of the Buddha.

Now, even when they die, they are still ignorant.

Jiang Lin comforted him, "For them, not knowing anything is actually a good thing at the moment."

"Since we don't understand what death is, we don't need to be afraid?" Ma Ningyan's tone was full of bitterness.

What she wants is a world where everyone can have enough food to eat.

But when she conquered four states and established Daqian, she thought she was very close to realizing her dream.

A journey to a faraway place made her realize that her ideals were meaningless.

The battle on Mount Xumi made Ma Ningyan feel indescribably tired.

How can there be so much injustice in this world?

To what extent must we go to turn the world upside down and put everything in order?
After getting down the mountain, all the children and women nearby had been evacuated.

Without the control of the Sumeru Wheel, nearly two million Buddhists were left sitting on the ground in a daze.

Xu Wanqun came over and asked in a deep voice: "General, how do we deal with these Buddhists?"

Jiang Lin was worried that she would be soft-hearted again, so he couldn't help but remind her: "Buddhists are also connected to the Sumeru Wheel. If they don't die, then..."

Ma Ningyan raised her hand. This was the first time she took the initiative to interrupt Jiang Lin.

Without any hesitation, Ma Ningyan's expression remained normal, only her voice was a little heavy.

"kill!"

At this moment, Jiang Lin saw a completely different aura in her.

He understood that the little girl from the past was really gone.

The person standing in front of him now is the legendary figure who founded the Daqian Dynasty.

A powerful person who truly has independent thoughts and will not easily change his mind because of what others say!
Maybe it's not a bad thing for the world.

But for Jiang Lin, it inevitably reminded him of his hundred years in the mortal world.

I think of those honest and simple people.

Swah——

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers drew their weapons and walked towards the Buddhists who were sitting on the ground chanting scriptures.
