The Supreme God Chapter 4639 The Fate

Austin stood in the entrance of the temple and looked around. To his surprise, it was tiny, occupying an
area of only ten square meters.

Right in the center, there was a Buddhist altar. On top of it was an amiable statue of an ancient
Buddha.

In front of the altar, there was an old, crooked altar table.

A meticulously-sculpted wooden fish sat motionlessly on the altar.

Besides, in a corner in the yard of the temple, there was a dried log leaning against the wall. Everything
related to the temple was serene.

Austin couldn't spot anything else worth noting.

Feeling slightly confused and surprised, Austin furrowed his eyebrows so that they created dark
shadows over his eyes.

The interior of the temple was desolate and dilapidated. It didn't look important.

"Sir, does the state of this place surprise you?"

the middle-aged monk asked with a smile while he observed Austin.

"Not really.

According to Buddhism, everything will eventually become nothing. If a Buddhist wants to cultivate,
they can't have too many distractions in their way,"

Austin said calmly, wiping the expression off his face.



"Sir, have you cultivated Buddhism before?"

the middle-aged monk asked curiously, stunned to hear that Austin was so knowledgeable on the
subject.

When he didn't receive an immediate answer, he quickly added, "It's a pity that you didn't choose the
same path as us."

The monk glanced at Austin with an all-knowing look.

"You are right this time.

It's true. My way of cultivation is not the Buddhist way,"

Austin answered, slowly nodding.

At Austin's current level, it was obvious that he wouldn't have wasted time and would have developed
his own way of doing things.

"What a pity. You are not only gifted, you also have a strong comprehension ability. If you choose the
same path as us, there's a chance you could pass down the inheritance of the true Buddha,"

the middle-aged monk said, sighing.

"The inheritance of the true Buddha?

So your avatar is only here because you're waiting for a successor to show up?"

As Austin asked this, his heart skipped a beat. His eyes stared earnestly at the monk.

"Yes.



I have been waiting for a successor of the Buddhism to come here all this time.

A long time ago, we encountered a huge disaster. The real inheritance of the Buddhism has been lost
in the world ever since.

I'm waiting for the appearance of our disciples.

Unfortunately, not many people are able to come here. So far, none of them has had what it takes to
become the successor we are looking for,"

the middle-aged monk explained, lowering his head and sighing loudly.

"The real inheritance of Buddhism is all lost?

What are you talking about? There is still Buddhist heritage all over the world and it is prosperous.
There are many Buddhist classics, Buddhist omnipotent skills, and temples out there in the world.
Aren't those all part of the Buddhist heritage?"

Austin was shocked by what the monk had said. He had told him his opinions on the Buddhist heritage
in the hopes that the monk would explain everything to him in more detail.

"All of the Buddhist heritage you see now is fake. It doesn't count as the real Buddhist heritage. It's all
just a mirage, like what you see when you are dehydrated in the desert. And the worst part is that if the
real Buddhist heritage can't be passed on, then little by little, the true heritage will gradually disappear.

Until eventually, there will be no more Buddhism in the world. It will be completely extinct by then,"

the monk continued in a quiet voice. Still, his words hit Austin like an ocean wave.

"I see."

Austin nodded. His lips pressed into a thin line.



It all felt quite overwhelming. It turned out that all the things related to Buddhism in the world were
incomplete and most of them were fake.

"Oh! Before I forget, I happen to know two people who possess the Crystal Buddha Body. Maybe they
are destined to meet your standard,"

Austin exclaimed, thinking of Ivy and Sue.

"They have Crystal Buddha Body? I don't know if that would work.

As far as I know, it only means that they are born with the ability to cultivate the inheritance of our
Buddhism.

However, I can't confirm whether they can actually be the ones who really inherit the true Buddhism,"

the middle-aged monk explained.

After a short pause, he continued, "Actually, because they have the Crystal Buddha Body, it's very likely
that they could get the real inheritance of our Buddhism.

Sir, you said you knew such people? Can you please bring them here?

The chances of our Buddhism being revived or not depends on whether we can find a real Buddhist
successor."

With just the idea of a successor in his mind, an expectant smile spread across the middle-aged
monk's face.

"Of course.

I'll bring them here now,"



Austin gave him a reassuring grin and nodded.

If Ivy and Sue could get the real inheritance of Buddhism, it would mean great things for them.

Austin was feeling hopeful about it.

All of a sudden, something started to stir in the corner.

Austin's eyes swept over the dead log in the corner of the temple, and his heart skipped a beat.

At first, he had assumed that the piece of wood was simple, but now he could see that it was not.

Although there was no vital energy fluctuation, the log lay there and faintly stretched out like a long,
slim dragon. Its movement contained a great, mysterious momentum.

"Sir, are you wondering about the origin of this dead log?"

the middle-aged monk asked as if he knew what Austin was thinking.

"That's right.

It looked lifeless but there is something to this piece of dead wood,"

Austin responded, nodding with furrowed eyebrows.

"This is actually a seed that comes from the magic bodhi tree,"

the middle-aged monk said proudly.

"What's special about this bodhi tree?"

Austin didn't think it was so important. He raised his eyebrow suspiciously.



"Let me explain.

The bodhi tree is the ultimate divine tree, also known as a chaotic immortal tree, found in the Buddhist
teachings. Each time it dies, it will be reborn through nirvana, leaving behind a piece of wood from
which a new seed grows,"

the monk patiently explained to Austin.

"A kind of chaotic immortal tree?"

It was the first time that Austin had heard of this type of tree.

"Yes, it is.

It's considered to be one of the most ancient trees in the world. It appeared at the establishment of
Absolute Space Sea.

It is also one of the sources of our Buddhist heritage,"

the middle-aged monk replied.

"It helped build the Buddhist heritage?"

Austin couldn't believe what he was hearing.

He had heard that Buddhism was once one of the most terrifying forces of all.

He also knew that Buddhism was as powerful as the reincarnation race.

What he never even considered was that the bodhi tree was one of the sources of Buddhism. It made
the divine tree extra special.



"So, when can I meet the two Crystal Buddha Bodies you mentioned before?"

An expectant look appeared on the middle-aged monk's face as he waited for Austin to recover from
his shock.

"Oh, yeah.

I'll call them here right now!"

Austin promised the monk before he turned around.

Without further hesitation, he took Julian's hand and they left the Sumeru Mountain. The moment that
they stepped out of the pure land of Buddhism in the depths of the hidden void, Austin sent a message
to Ivy and Sue.

After waiting for a few minutes, they arrived.

With a burst of dazzling light, Ivy and Sue appeared on the horizon.

As they walked, they looked like they weren't in a hurry, but in fact, the two of them were moving
extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they were standing in front of Austin.

"Now that you're here, I want to take you two to meet a senior master," Austin said, giving them a
smile.

Turning around, Austin led Ivy, Sue, and Julian back into the pure land of the Buddhism.

After walking for a while, they arrived in front of the divine Sumeru Mountain.

"The Sumeru Mountain!"



Ivy and Sue exclaimed in unison. Their eyes were big and filled with joy as they looked up at the
mountain.

Austin's lips curled upwards as he watched their reaction. Then, he proceeded to take the three of
them to the hillside of the divine mountain and they entered the ancient temple.

"It's true! It is the Crystal Buddha Body!"

the middle-aged monk yelled the moment that he laid his eyes on them. He was overcome with
pleasure at meeting Sue and Ivy in person.

"It is our pleasure to meet you, sir!"

Ivy and Sue exchanged looks with each other and then smiled back at the monk. The excitement of
walking into the temple had washed over them, and upon seeing the monk, a sense of familiarity also
hit them.

From the sight of him alone, the two of them could tell that the middle-aged monk had a vast and
profound Buddhism cultivation.

He must be a skilled senior master of Buddhism.

"Well, very good. Very good.

Now that the inheritance of the real Buddhism has been lost, it's rare for people to cultivate the
Buddhism to this level. You two should be proud.

Even without the Crystal Buddha Bodies you two have, your talent is impressive.

Well, sir, if you trust me, let the two of them stay here with me for a period of time.

I want to test whether they are destined to be the true successors of Buddhism,"



the middle-aged monk asked Austin, looking at him earnestly.

"Of course they may stay with you,"

Austin said instantly.

He knew that this was a precious opportunity for both Ivy and Sue and he would be doing them a
disservice to take them away.
