 Chapter 2330: It's Not Normal to Have No Talent

The Dragon Pearl was trapped and taken away by the Dragon Trap Sphere, causing the world to collapse. Lin Moyu returned to the starry sky in an instant.

This journey was smoother than expected, taking only three years to successfully retrieve the fourth Dragon Pearl.

Thinking about how he had spent over a hundred years in the outer domain without finding the fourth Dragon Pearl, it really was a matter of fate.

With fate, one can naturally obtain it; without fate, it's useless to try desperately.

Lin Moyu, carrying the Dragon Pearl, returned to the boundary area.

The Heavenly Dragon seemed to sense the aura of the Dragon Pearl, staring at Lin Moyu with disbelief, "So soon?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Don't you know my efficiency by now?"

The Heavenly Dragon hadn't been able to retrieve even one Dragon Pearl for many years. Now, Lin Moyu was finding them one after another, which was indeed an extraordinary efficiency.

Lin Moyu tossed the Dragon Trap Sphere back to the Heavenly Dragon, "So, I found the Dragon Pearl for you so quickly. Is there any reward?"

The Heavenly Dragon said irritably, "What more reward do you want? This is our deal. I will pay the agreed price."

Lin Moyu smiled, "Can't we have any other relationship besides a transactional one?"

"Other relationship?" The Heavenly Dragon looked at Lin Moyu, his eyes flickering.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "I am good friends with Antares. I think we can also become friends."

"Friends?" The Heavenly Dragon's eyes flickered, as if recalling something.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head, "I don't need friends."

Lin Moyu looked at him and said word by word, "Have you been betrayed by friends?"

The Heavenly Dragon snorted but did not answer.

Lin Moyu said, "Antares once said that when he comes out, he will kill the dragon clan and soak the land with dragon blood."

"I also promised Antares that I would accompany him to the dragon clan."

The Heavenly Dragon exclaimed, "Did he really say that?"

The Heavenly Dragon's breathing became heavier, constantly exhaling white gas.

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, he said it. I can feel that Antares, like you, has hatred, the hatred of being betrayed by friends."

The Heavenly Dragon suddenly laughed, a wild laugh, "Indeed, the hatred of being betrayed by friends. So we don't need friends."

There was a hint of desolation in his voice, and Lin Moyu could feel this desolation, tinged with sadness.

Lin Moyu said, "Not every friend will betray you. Some friends will never betray you. Some friends will even die for each other."

The Heavenly Dragon sighed deeply, "With your strength, if you want to kill the dragon clan, any divine dragon can kill you as easily as crushing an ant."

Lin Moyu said, "I know the dragon clan is strong. There are not only Celestial Venerables but also Dao Venerables in the dragon clan. But so what?"

"As long as Antares wants to do it, I promised him, and I will do it, even if it means death."

The Heavenly Dragon stared at Lin Moyu without blinking. From his eyes, Lin Moyu felt a change.

Perhaps his words had moved him. The Heavenly Dragon's eyes showed a significant change, becoming softer, with much less vigilance.

In fact, the Heavenly Dragon's eyes were somewhat similar to Antares's. Lin Moyu guessed that they must have experienced some unpleasant things in the dragon clan.

From their words, it was evident that they harbored deep hatred, which was hard to conceal.

After a while, the Heavenly Dragon exhaled deeply, "What reward do you want?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Actually, it's not really a reward. I just have some questions to ask you."

"Of course, I know your rules. Just tell me what you can."

The Heavenly Dragon nodded slowly, "Ask."

Lin Moyu said, "In a thousand years, the Battle Realm will arrive. We discovered that there seems to be someone behind the Battle Realm."

The Heavenly Dragon suddenly laughed, "What's so strange about that? It's normal to have someone behind it. It's abnormal if there's no one."

Lin Moyu was shocked, as if he had heard a great secret.

It's normal to have someone behind it. It's abnormal if there's no one.

The Heavenly Dragon chuckled, "When you leave the Great World someday, you will naturally understand. Knowing now doesn't mean much."

"I can tell you that even if there is someone behind the Battle Realm, that person may not necessarily get involved."

"At most, they can make some small moves, but those small moves won't change anything."

Lin Moyu asked, "Back then, during the battle between the Black Blood Great Realm and the Great World, there was someone behind the Black Blood Great Realm. If it weren't for him, perhaps the Great World wouldn't have reached this point."

The Heavenly Dragon shook his head, "That's different."

"What's different?"

"The identity of the person behind the Black Blood Great Realm is different."

Lin Moyu wanted to ask more, but the Heavenly Dragon interrupted him, "Don't ask. The past is past. I can tell you that even if there is someone behind the Battle Realm, they won't intervene. Even if they do, it will only be small moves that won't change anything."

"Of course, if you can't even block their small moves, then you deserve it!"

With just a few words, Lin Moyu was completely convinced that there was indeed someone behind the Battle Realm, but that person wouldn't truly intervene, at most making some small moves.

Lin Moyu wanted to know what those small moves might be, but since the Heavenly Dragon wouldn't say, he could only deal with whatever came his way.

The Heavenly Dragon asked, "Besides this question, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lin Moyu said, "The small world where Antares was has left, taken to the Realm Sea. I saw it when I was in the Realm Sea."

The Heavenly Dragon's eyes changed again, "Really left?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

The Heavenly Dragon laughed loudly, "Good, good, it's good that it left!"

Lin Moyu said, "Does this mean Antares is really coming out soon?"

The Heavenly Dragon shouted, "Soon, soon. Those old guys, wait for me. I will kill my way back sooner or later."

At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon was extremely excited, almost crazy. Clearly, the departure of Antares was extremely important.

Lin Moyu didn't know what it meant, but he knew that leaving was a good thing.

After the Heavenly Dragon calmed down, Lin Moyu said, "I have no more questions. As for the human senior, do you want me to bring him here, or what?"

The Heavenly Dragon said, "No rush. Let's wait until I absorb the Dragon Pearl."

The Heavenly Dragon opened the Dragon Trap Sphere and released the Dragon Pearl inside.

The Dragon Pearl trembled and vibrated continuously.

Faint dragon roars could be heard, clearly showing its fear.

The Heavenly Dragon sneered, "There are indeed some reckless fools who dare to tamper with my Dragon Pearl. They are truly courting death."

"I remember your aura. When I find you, I will skin you alive."

The Dragon Pearl is the most precious thing to the dragon clan, more valuable than any treasure.

Daring to tamper with the Dragon Pearl is a matter of life and death.

Antares and the Heavenly Dragon were punished, even having their Dragon Pearls taken away, showing how severe the punishment was.

Lin Moyu said, "You mean the Dragon Pearl didn't naturally evolve intelligence, but someone tampered with it?"

The Heavenly Dragon nodded, "Yes, that person deserves to die. If it had taken a few more thousand years to find it, this Dragon Pearl might not have belonged to me anymore."

"But fortunately, the Dragon Pearl is back now, and that person didn't succeed."

The Heavenly Dragon patiently explained to Lin Moyu that once a Dragon Pearl develops self-awareness, it can evolve into an independent world.

The Dragon Pearl will nurture within the world, a long process, but if successful, it can become a member of the dragon clan.

By then, the Dragon Pearl would have nothing to do with the Heavenly Dragon.

The loss to the Heavenly Dragon would be enormous, and whoever did this would be an enemy for life.

Lin Moyu asked, "Can you find that person?"

The Heavenly Dragon said, "I remember the aura. I will find them eventually."

Lin Moyu took out the gemstones he had obtained earlier, "What are these?"
