Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 864 Now that you have seen the future, why not worship?
"Brother Taiyi, if Junior Brother Nezha is trapped in the human world, after this matter is over, we will accompany you to fight on Mount Xumi without any fear or hindrance."

"But at this moment, it's really not possible." Qingxu Daode Zhenjun and the others restrained their inner throbbing - when the Maitreya Master touched the future, these Taiyi Daojuns who had been there for many years all clearly felt the abnormality in their own bodies.

For those who have not yet attained the Tao, the seeds of the Tao show signs of revival.

For those who have already attained the Tao, the tree of Tao is slowly extending.

It seems that the future touched by Maitreya will bring great benefits to everyone.

Once the future touched by Maitreya is interrupted and separated again, all people, and even the heaven and earth, will suffer great losses.

At this moment, Venerable Maitreya's action of touching Daluo was just like decades ago when the Great Lord of Justice pushed the heavenly rules and stood alone between the waves of heaven and earth.

Every era has a protagonist.

If we say that in the previous decades, the protagonist of heaven and earth was the Great Lord of Justice who promoted the Heavenly Rules, and everything between heaven and earth that was based on the Heavenly Rules was favored by heaven and earth - then at this moment, Maitreya Venerable, who is reaching Daluo and picking the fruit of the Tao, is the protagonist of this era and even in the future.

In other words, the actions of the Great Lord of Justice in promoting the Heavenly Rules in the past have now turned into an impetus for Maitreya to obtain the future fruits of the Tao - after all, the existence of the Heavenly Rules is to be based on the present and then stabilize the future.

And what Maitreya seeks is the future.

“Daluo…” Looking at the Maitreya Venerable who had already touched the Tao fruit, the Taoist Master Ran Deng couldn’t help but be in a trance.

Although what Maitreya has sealed is only a corner of the future Dao fruit, and he has not really picked the future Dao fruit yet - but for a person who has already touched the future Dao fruit and can mobilize the power of that Dao fruit at any time, what is the difference between him and the real Daluo?

And after a brief moment of daze, the heart of the Taoist Master Ran Deng was filled with endless peace.

Among the Dao Fruits of Daluo, the Dao Fruit of the Future is the most special!

Every Daluo Dao Fruit has something to which it is anchored, and represents a part of heaven and earth - however, the anchoring of the future Dao Fruit is just as its name suggests.

What it symbolizes is the future of heaven and earth.

For heaven and earth, "the future" is the most important thing. Not only for heaven and earth, but for everything between heaven and earth, the future is the most important thing.

Everyone is living in the present and looking to the future.

Once the future is cut off, then all existence, even the present, will be meaningless.

One can imagine how heavy the future will be.

At this moment, the future is in the hands of Maitreya.

And under the influence of this future Tao fruit, all actions and decisions made by Maitreya are aimed at stabilizing the future - stabilizing his own future and the future of heaven and earth!
This means that when the future comes, the existence of Maitreya will be the absolute protagonist between heaven and earth!
What he represents is the mighty wave of this world rushing towards the future!

In such a situation, even a saint would not be willing to stand before Lord Maitreya.

Under such a state, the strength displayed by Maitreya is no longer the level of Daluo that he barely touched when he asked the future to be bestowed upon him in the past - but he is at the first tier among Daluo!
And such strength is enough to determine the current situation!

The gaze of the Taoist Master Ran Deng fell on the Great Lord of Justice and Nezha in front of him, and finally stopped on the gold brick in Nezha's hand.

He can now calmly collect his own fruits of the Tao!

As he thought about it, the Taoist Master Ran Deng lightly made a seal with his fingers, and the gold brick in Nezha's hand, which was just a weapon, became the host.

The half of the Tao fruit inside it slowly expanded, eroding everything on Nezha bit by bit - eroding his origin, eroding the several innate spiritual treasures in his hands, eroding his connection with humanity, and even eroding the endless resentment in the Milky Way.

With these things as nutrition, both the half of the Dao fruit in Nezha's body and the half of the Dao fruit in Master Ran Deng's body were growing rapidly.

The aura of Master Ran Deng leaped at an unimaginable speed!
Although he has not yet crossed the boundary between Taiyi and Daluo, the aura he exudes has already surpassed that of some ordinary Daluo.

To ascend to heaven in one step, to cross the chasm between ordinary Daluo and become a great master like Zhen Yuanzi or the Taoist of the Styx!

In an instant, everyone saw clearly what Master Ran Deng was planning.

A Taoist priest named Ran Deng, plus a Maitreya Buddha - this killing calamity has just begun, and the winner of this killing calamity has already appeared.

Western religion!
Even though it was not the Western religion that achieved sainthood in the end of this killing calamity - but with the help of the great master Ran Deng Taoist, and the Maitreya Buddha who controls the future and looks like the Emperor of Heaven, the Western religion has already established itself in a position to win in this killing calamity!
The only difference is how much you win - a big win or a small win!

"Daoyou Maitreya is still kind-hearted." Looking at the changes here, the four demon ancestors in the human world also showed their energy - under the blockade of the Taoist fruit of Maitreya, they only solidified Ao Bing and captured Nezha.

Apart from this, wherever the light of the fruit covers, the order of heaven and earth will not be changed, and the living beings of heaven and earth will not be harmed.

All of this was as if he had used his own Dao fruit to carve out a space-time between heaven and earth that belonged exclusively to the four of them.

If it were these four demon ancestors, they would have used the moment of achieving Daluo to cause a huge upheaval between heaven and earth, and then directly deployed their Daluo domains, using the Heavenly Rules of Heaven, making it impossible for the Heavenly Rules to be investigated...

In this way, the rules of the sky were completely torn into pieces, leaving the Heavenly Court completely humiliated.

In this domain of law that cuts through time and space, Ao Bing, who has also touched the Daluo Dao Fruit, is truly powerless to resist. He is solidified in this space and time, and knows nothing about the current changes.

In this solidified law, the only two changes are the fluctuation of Maitreya's energy.

The other is that when the Taoist Master Ran Deng absorbed Nezha's essence, the origins of the two were anchored by the Tao Fruit and interconnected, resulting in changes in their aura.

“Is this the way that Brother Dao can achieve Dao fruit?” Maitreya looked at the changes between the source of the energy of the Taoist Master Ran Deng and Nezha, and frowned inadvertently, “This method is somewhat similar to the actions of the Longevity Demon Ancestor of the South China Sea. Brother Dao should be careful to follow the method and not fall into the devil’s way.”

Following the future, he also had a certain understanding of the secret method of the Taoist Master Ran Deng - so in an instant, Venerable Maitreya had already seen the usefulness of the Taoist Master Ran Deng's secret method.

Instead, he separated his own Dao fruit, transformed it into countless seeds, and parasitized on other people, using their origin, path, and wisdom to nourish his own Dao fruit.

When the Dao fruit returns, everything about those living beings that nurtured the Dao fruit will naturally turn into nourishment for the Taoist Master Ran Deng.

It is obvious that he is trying to seize the essence of Nezha, the orthodox descendant of the Chan sect, and turn it into a part of his own power.

Venerable Maitreya was somewhat disdainful of such an action - in the past, he had made many attempts to find the possibility of ascending to Daluo, but the most "vicious" attempt among them was to simply cut out his own body and have others carry it, trying to completely strip away what he had cultivated and learned and start all over again.

But when those people died, the Maitreya Master would personally come forward, take back his own body, and protect that person so that he could be reincarnated without being affected by his body, and he would also protect his reincarnated body...

However, as agreed before, Maitreya himself used the secret method of Master Ran Deng to touch the future, and Master Ran Deng was also led by him to convert to Western religion. So no matter what, he would protect Master Ran Deng to retrieve his Taoist fruit and make him a great supernatural being.

“After this incident, even though the Heavenly Rules are hard to pursue, it will be a real trouble for the Chan Sect.” Venerable Maitreya lowered his eyes, thinking about what would happen next.

Originally, he only thought that the most that could happen here was just to kill Nezha - life and death are serious, but with the methods passed down by their saints, it would be simple and easy to plan for the next life, with great ease.

Even if Nezha died, even if Nezha's martial arts in this life were powerful, with the means of their Western religion, it would not be a problem to give Nezha a next life with the same perfect martial arts.

By that time, they would just have to bow to the Chan sect, and the matter would be over.

But the current situation... Master Ran Deng looks like he wants to skin Nezha alive... Once the news gets out, it will definitely be a mortal feud with the Chan Sect!

Between thoughts, everything that happened in this space and time was concealed by Maitreya.

At the same time, Venerable Maitreya's gaze fell on Ao Bing again.

"This great Lord of Justice cannot be kept."

As the Taoist Master Ran Deng made hand gestures and held seals, the essence in Nezha's body was invaded more and more violently - his body shape slowly regressed from a young man of fifteen or sixteen, to a boy of five or six years old, and finally, to the appearance of a ginseng fruit.

But during this process, Nezha's own will was also honed to become clearer and clearer.

In that golden brick, countless Nezha’s flesh, blood, soul, and memories were completely melted into one furnace during this process, making the aura displayed by Nezha even more ferocious.

But Master Ran Deng didn't care.

Nezha is just a fruit destined to be swallowed. During this process, all the changes will only make this fruit sweeter and make his energy after swallowing this fruit more unpredictable.

When Nezha's figure regressed to the appearance of a five or six-year-old boy, the Taoist Master Ran Deng even stopped and gave Nezha a few moments to struggle so that Nezha could fully tap his true strength!
——The white lotus root, its incarnation, is the symbol of the orthodox tradition of the Chan teaching!

In the past, Master Ran Deng would never touch this thing, but now that things have come to this point, he is naturally fearless!

Anyway, the Western religion has already entered the game - as long as he can succeed and become a great master in one step, then after this incident, it will be nothing more than a fight between two saintly religions.

Falling out with the Three Saints of Xuanmen - perhaps the two from the Western religion have been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time.

Otherwise, their actions would always be constrained by the Three Saints of Xuanmen.

In just a moment when the Dao Fruit swallowed Nezha, he was in a desperate situation!

However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration came into being.

This future dojo, this realm of time and space, the order and laws here are all changing rapidly.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng froze in an instant. He could no longer maintain the seal in his hand. Not only that, his own Dao Fruit, which had already been more than half of his, was blocked at this moment. The thing he had refined was like an extremely strange foreign object at this moment!
"Daoyou Maitreya!" The gaze of Taoist Master Ran Deng fell on Venerable Maitreya. He thought that Venerable Maitreya was dissatisfied with his actions.

However, Venerable Maitreya set his sights on the fourth person in the temple.

The Great Lord of Justice, Ao Bing!

This powerful being who was frozen in time and space and was about to perish with Nezha...

However, at this moment, this frozen person, who posed no threat in the eyes of Maitreya or Master Ran Deng, began to move in this future realm of Dharma in an abrupt and natural manner.

The twenty-four Dinghai magic beads fell one by one, just like the twenty-four bright moons on the bridges appearing in this future Dharma realm.

And Ao Bing stepped under the bright moon.

With every step taken, different scenery appeared in the bright moonlight of the Twenty-Four Bridges.

Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, Waking of Insects, Vernal Equinox, Qingming Festival, Grain Rain.

Beginning of Summer, Grain Full, Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, Lesser Heat, Greater Heat.

Beginning of Autumn, End of Heat, White Dew, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew, Frost Descent.

Beginning of Winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter Solstice, Lesser Cold, Greater Cold.

The twenty-four solar terms appeared one after another in the bright moon after Ao Bing took these twenty-four steps, and then sublimated out.

When the twenty-four solar terms rise, the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls sink accordingly.

Twenty-four Dinghai Pearls stabilize the space, and the twenty-four solar terms rotate time.

Thus, in this future Dharma realm, a completely new time and space will appear and then spread out in this Dharma realm.

When the twenty-four solar terms appeared, a crown like a sundial appeared on Ao Bing's head.

“Search for the future, get close to the future, and take control of the future.”

"It is indeed a good fruit."

"The theory of achieving the fruit of the Tao in the future has been transformed into the fruit of the Tao in the future by your infinite mental power, Maitreya."

"The future of heaven and earth depends on your Dao fruit."

"I have to say that the talent of the Maitreya Master is truly unprecedented."

Looking at the future Dao fruit behind Venerable Maitreya, Ao Bing couldn't help but sigh.

During his generation, Buddhism gave rise to the three Buddhas of the past and present - Dipankara, the Taoist priest, became a thing of the past and passed away.

Then the Taoist Duobao passed away and turned into Sakyamuni, who is in charge of the present.

Finally, it is Maitreya who grasps the future.

The past, present and future have been transformed into a complete system, into the eternal tradition of Buddhism. Such a vision is already extremely grand.

At this moment, Venerable Maitreya turned the untouchable future into his own Tao fruit, and bound the future of heaven and earth, and the future of countless living beings, to himself - such an action was even more magnificent than the vision of the Three Buddhas!

No wonder when he picked the fruit of the Tao, he was able to evolve the Buddha's light of Ao Bing's generation across generations. In this generation where there was no trace of "Brahma" at all, he created the existence of "Buddhahood" out of nothing.

However...what Venerable Maitreya derived was not the past, not the present, but the future!

He did not distort the future fruit into the present, but touched the future with unpredictable means.

future!

"The Venerable One prays for the future."

"But I have a question."

“Venerable, since you have seen the future, why don’t you bow?” The light of the blue dragon was flowing on Ao Bing’s body, and the sundial-like crown, manifesting infinite divine light, hung down, obscuring Ao Bing’s figure.

While a new time and space was opening up, he seized the dominance of the future legal domain without hesitation, and made the future legal domain fall under Ao Bing's control.

Now that you have seen the future, why not worship it?
Ao Bing lowered his eyes - his figure was even shorter than that of Maitreya Venerable, but when he lowered his eyes, his gaze covered Maitreya Venerable in an instant.

What Maitreya seeks is the future.

And what is the future?
For this generation, Ao Bing exists!

All changes between heaven and earth may surpass Ao Bing, and all Tao fruits may suppress Ao Bing - but the only power related to future changes cannot limit Ao Bing.

Because Ao Bing himself represents the future!

Under the suppression of Hongjun Daozu, the future is unpredictable and uncertain - however, the generation represented by Ao Bing is the only one in this infinite and unpredictable world that has not headed towards a destroyed future!
It is recognized by all the saints between heaven and earth, and even by Hongjun Daozu. It is an already determined future!

The future is uncertain, but for Ao Bing, the future has already been determined!
At least, that’s the case for the current generation!

The future of the current generation can only be Ao Bing’s generation!
Any future other than this will be denied.

Now that you have seen the future, why not worship it?
Ao Bing’s question lingered in this Dharma realm and shook Maitreya’s heart.

Under those words, Maitreya's own future Dao fruit was shaking and about to disintegrate - the Dao fruit called "future" was about to collapse.

The future fruit of the Tao that Maitreya himself had sealed in through the secret method of Dipankara was also being distorted.

And through the little bit of future Tao fruit that is sealed in himself, all the changes in the future and the infinite possibilities of the future will be manifested before the eyes of Maitreya.

Then, those countless possibilities, countless changes, and countless unpredictable things all collapsed and decayed one by one in the eyes of Maitreya!

Even the shadow of the saint that exists in countless futures will be annihilated along with those countless futures.

The three precious jade ruyi turned into powder.

The Qingping Sword was corroded by rust.

The wonderful tree made of seven treasures and the swaying green lotus all withered one after another.

Even the Zixiao Palace that suppressed time and space collapsed in the scene of time and space.

"How is this possible!" Venerable Maitreya wailed - how could he have imagined that what he was seeking was the future, but the future was already in the grasp of others!
When the future Dao Fruit collapsed, the pupils of Maitreya Venerable, which could see into the future, also exploded, and drops of blood and tears flowed out of his eye sockets.

In an instant, all of Maitreya's thoughts and ideas disappeared.

In his mind, only Ao Bing's words kept echoing.

Now that you have seen the future, why not worship it?
Now that you have seen the future, why not worship it?
Now that you have seen the future, why not worship it?
When the future Dao fruit collapses, in the 'future', a new Dao fruit formed by Maitreya's current merit body will appear, reconnecting with Maitreya's merit body and maintaining its existence - but its eyes that can see many future evolutions can never be restored!

——At this moment, Venerable Maitreya is still a Daluo who has obtained the Dao Fruit, but he is just an ordinary Daluo, not an unparalleled powerful person who controls the future!
"How is this possible!" Looking at the evolution and transformation of the Dao Fruit on Maitreya's body, the Taoist Master Ran Deng also widened his eyes.

He is an extremely ancient existence between heaven and earth, a guest of Zixiao Palace. His knowledge is first-rate between heaven and earth!

However, even with his knowledge, he could not be sure what all the changes before him were about.
What does the future has arrived mean?
What does it mean that if you have seen the future, why not worship?

Also, how did the fruit on Maitreya's body change?
That was clearly the Dao Fruit that judged the future, the Dao Fruit that controlled the future, the most advanced, the most superior, the most unpredictable among the Dao Fruits - but why, in the blink of an eye, that Dao Fruit turned into something ordinary?

The Great Lord of Justice in front of him was clearly just a Taiyi.

He has never inherited the Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Rules of the Heavenly Court, nor has he derived the Dao Fruit of the Four Symbols, nor has he been connected with the Dao Fruit of the Four Pillars of Heaven - but why is this future Dharma realm controlled by him and seized by him?

And there are the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls.

Although that innate spiritual treasure is also top-notch - it is only top-notch!
On what basis can he create a new space and time in this future domain?
The space it carries is fine, but where does the time element that creates time and space come from?

Moreover, even if it created time and space, how could it control the future domain before it?

Why can it adjust the legal rules so calmly and easily?

And in front of him, even if the Maitreya Master's body has changed, he is still a Daluo who has obtained the Dao Fruit - but why does he act like he is completely irresistible in front of this Great Lord of Justice?

Countless doubts appeared in the mind of Master Ran Deng. The next moment, a ray of light exploded before his eyes, completely destroying the endless doubts in his mind.
