Yin Chang'an! Within Maitreya's Belly Lies the Future!

"War Sequence, God-Slaying Program"

The Governor-General of Guanzhong Province looked extremely grim.

"Has the capital gone mad, enacting such an emergency decree and conscripting troops from all the provinces?"

Beside Him, a servant bowed his head.

"My lord, what should we do now? Our Guanzhong region is a small province, like the Golden Province, and there are no divine Lineage within it."

The governor's expression was uncertain.

When the capital implements emergency regulations, each province is required to send a respected person in accordance with those regulations.

Forty-nine provinces, sixteen each in the upper, middle, and lower categories, plus one province with an extremely special status: the 'Heavenly Dao Province'.

The Upper Sixteen Provinces and the Middle Sixteen Provinces are one thing, as they each have other divine Lineage within their own provinces. But what about the Lower Sixteen Provinces like theirs?

In Lineage without gods, the governor is the only god.

"This is forcing us."

The Governor-General of Guanzhong spoke in a low voice, his face extremely grim:

"Go hunting World-Honored Tathagata? The Federation is sending us to our deaths!"

The waiter took a deep breath:

"My lord, are we going to rebel?"

The governor remained silent for a long time, then shook his head sadly:

"No, we are not ready yet, nor are we like the other four small provinces that have declared independence, such as Su Qiansuan, who possess true Supreme Treasure."

A bitter expression appeared on his face:

"We may lack Supreme Treasure, but we have powerful backers. If we declare independence, the Federation won't treat us like they did with those four provinces, focusing primarily on containment."

"The gods of the capital will storm in immediately!"

The waiter remained silent.

A long time passed again.

The elderly governor sighed deeply and said:

"That's enough."

He reached out and lifted the illusory Imperial Decree that was reflected in the sky, thus accepting the great decree.

"What is meant to be will be; what is meant to be will be."

The old governor spoke in a low voice, his eyes gleaming:

"And to be honest, it might not be a hopeless situation. Great Opportunity is about to appear in Chang'an Town, who knows?"

The waiter hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

The old governor glanced at him and said:

"I know what you're trying to say. That World-Honored Tathagata unfathomable. There's news that he killed the Sword Fairy in ten breaths, but I didn't go alone. Besides..."

His gaze was cold:

"If things truly become impossible, the worst that can happen is to convert to Buddhism!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old governor stepped out of Guanzhong Province, followed slowly by his attendant.

"Actually, I did consider leaving you in the province, but after thinking about it, it's better for you to stay with me."

The old governor looked at the elderly servant, a junior whom he had recently taken in. The servant was talented and seemed to be related to a certain Destiny Event.

The attendant, or rather Huang Qiuxian, bowed:

"My lord, should we notify the other Elder Venerable within the sect to suppress the rebellion in Guanzhong Province, in order to prevent any problems from arising?"

We'll see.

The old governor squinted his eyes:

" In the Other Shore World, World-Honored Tathagata, all religions and sects can exist openly and legitimately. Upon careful consideration, I believe that going there may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"At worst, we can reveal our identities, convert to the faith of that World Honored One, or reside permanently in the Other Shore World as elders of the East Cult."

"I suppose the World-Honored One will not make things difficult for me."

As they spoke,

The old governor saw glittering lights everywhere deep within the fog—He understood that spirits were emerging from all the provinces.

So they all headed towards the Other Shore World, amidst rising mist.

Forty-five figures gradually merged into a torrent, a multitude of deities.

The Other Shore World.

Within the divine realm.

"My intuition is warning me again." Zhang Fusheng frowned, his heart sinking slightly. At this very moment, his own intuition was giving him a faint warning.

Something bad seems to be happening.

"Someone is plotting against me."

He tried to trace the cause and effect, but his gaze was blocked by a mirror—a powerful being had severed the secrets of heaven and cause and effect with a Supreme Treasure, making it impossible to calculate!

"Enough! When soldiers come, generals will arrive; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Zhang Fusheng's eyes shone brightly. He now possessed all his abilities and could instantly kill one or two Venerables.

If it's a fight to the death, perhaps one could simultaneously fight three to five Venerables who don't possess Supreme Treasure.

But as long as one successfully Ascension to Divinity, successfully attains the status of True Person or Fruit Position, and truly enters this realm...

So

Zhang Fusheng was confident that he could truly sweep aside his opponents in the same situation.

As his thoughts wandered, He gently knocked on the Gate of the Past for the two hundred and forty-ninth time, using the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron as his anchor, and once again chose a new picture.

This time, the fragmented scene in the painting reflected in the divine realm is the 'ocean'.

Or rather, it is a palace complex located deep in the sea.

"Dragon Palace?"

Zhang Fusheng was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to knock on the Gate of the Past again and choose a new scroll, his expression suddenly changed.

"No, it's not just the Dragon Palace."

He examined it carefully and realized that the reflection was of the East Sea Dragon Palace —which was understandable, since the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron East Sea Dragon Palace had been stored there for countless years.

The key point is,

Beneath this East Sea Dragon Palace, something seems to be suppressed, from which real seawater is continuously surging forth.

Yes, real things, like Buddhist kingdoms, Land of Exotic Treasures, and even the Death Qi of the deepest hell.

Without needing to create something entirely real, it can directly incorporate elements from the real world!

"Is it the East Sea Eye?"

Zhang Fusheng was greatly surprised. He entered the East Sea Dragon Palace and used his Fiery Golden Eyes and Heavenly Eye, but he did not see any figures from Different Dimension.

In other words, the East Sea Dragon Palace in this Different Dimension has not yet been occupied by those who usurped the heavenly position.

His divine sense swept across the Dragon Palace; it was magnificent and extremely luxurious, but he found nothing particularly special about it.

The only unique feature is the [East Sea Eye] that is faintly visible beneath the Dragon Palace.

Because it is suppressed by the entire Dragon Palace, much like the source of Death Qi Mount Luofeng, Zhang Fusheng cannot directly touch or enter the East Sea Eye.

But He could also clearly sense the breathtaking atmosphere hidden in the eye of the sea.

It's by no means simple.

After a brief moment of thought, Zhang Fusheng chose to preserve the East Sea Dragon Palace and not set his sights on a new attraction.

The Dragon Palace, accompanied by a real sea and that mysterious sea eye, was located to the east of the Human Realm.

Thus, in the Human Realm, there came to be a true ocean.

"Perhaps when I have some free time, I should capture some real dragons to integrate into the divine realm. After all, what kind of place is the Dragon Palace without dragons?"

Looking around at the vast divine realm, the Guanghan Palace, the Great Leiyin Temple, South Heaven Gate stood tall above the Heavenly Realm Sea of Clouds of clouds, with countless star beasts roaming upon them.

In the Human Realm, five great dynasties flourished on the land; in the western Lesser Leiyin Temple stood Arhats; and in the eastern East Sea, the waves surged.

There is also the Nine Netherworld, where Luofeng Divine Mountain pierces the dark sky, and trillions of fragmented souls accumulated over the years wander within it.

Everything is so different from the desert it was six months ago; the difference is beyond description.

A sense of satisfaction welled up in Zhang Fusheng's heart.

He sighed softly, and after confirming that the ancient saints in the Other Shore Flower were still temporarily unable to communicate, his thoughts returned to himself.

He opened his eyes to find golden needles floating in his palm, and three disheveled old men standing silently beside him.

He stood before a main peak of the Jiuzong Mountain Range and asked gently:

Is this the place?

The Sloppy Old Man nodded cautiously:

"Old Yuan instructed me to activate the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron here on February 9th."

Zhang Fusheng nodded, his Bodhi Thought permeating the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron —with his current cultivation level, he could already slightly activate a portion of the Supreme Treasure.

Even a top-tier Supreme Treasure like the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book could not be activated.

But something strange happened.

"Um?"

Zhang Fusheng frowned as a terrifying sense of rejection emanated from the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron, and the enormous backlash nearly made him cough up blood!

Unconvinced, he cautiously tried again, but as soon as he immersed himself in the Bodhi Thought, a fierce sense of rejection surged forth!

"It's not that they're rejecting me, it's that they're rejecting Bodhi Thought?"

Zhang Fusheng murmured to himself, and with a thought, he poured the normal divine sense that had been separated into the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron.

Really.

Without any resistance, he successfully mastered the treasure for the first time. In the blink of an eye, the golden needles transformed into a long staff, and their weight increased dramatically!

"That's right, I haven't truly refined this treasure, so I can't make it feel as light as a feather."

Zhang Fusheng planted the iron rod at the foot of the mountain, his thoughts racing:

"This object can grow infinitely larger and longer, but its weight will also change accordingly—otherwise, how could it stabilize the sea?"

He took a step back and spoke in a low voice:

"Long!"

The Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron then grew an inch longer into the ground.

"Grow, grow, grow!"

Zhang Fusheng shouted repeatedly, and under his urging, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron suddenly stretched and extended infinitely!

Almost instantly,

The divine iron had already grown into the ground, passing through mysterious and enigmatic things, reaching a secret place buried for countless years!!

"It actually works!"

A faint smile appeared on Zhang Fusheng's face. He reached out and rolled up the disheveled old man Lin Changle the other three men into his sleeve.

Then, following the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron, we went straight into the secret realm at the infinite depths.

The world spun around.

When everything became clear again, they were standing before a magnificent ancient city.

Above the city gate were three powerful characters: [Yin Chang'an]!

Following the cause and effect, Zhang Fusheng attempted to locate Yuan Feidao.

This time, there were no obstacles. Through the blurry clues of cause and effect, it could be seen that Yuan Feidao was inside Yin Chang'an, inside the Yin Imperial Palace —or rather, the Yin Imperial Mausoleum!

From Zhang Fusheng's perspective,

Yuan Feidao's figure was somewhat blurry and difficult to see clearly. He seemed to be sitting cross-legged and muttering something.

Before him lay a dark, swirling, blurry, and ever-changing space— Dimensional Convergence Point!

What Dimensional Convergence Point!

Ascension to Divinity

It's almost here.

A smile appeared on Zhang Fusheng's face. He turned his head and spoke in a low voice:

"Chang Le."

"I am here." Lin Changle bowed and heard the World-Honored Tathagata give the Imperial Decree.

"Go to Chang'an Town, knock on the gate of the Martial Arts Manor, and call out 'Li Erfeng.' Someone will follow you."

"Bring him here."

"Furthermore, Imperial Edict."

Zhang Fusheng calmly invoked the power of words, solemnly opening his mouth:

"You are granted immunity from Myriad Laws, free from harm or damage, and cannot be obstructed or blocked."

The Imperial Edict was issued, and a mysterious and profound power was bestowed upon Lin Changle.

Therefore, below the Venerable One, no one could harm her, and no one could stop her.

Lin Changle bowed again and quietly left, following the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron.

Zhang Fusheng looked down at Yin Chang'an. The entire magnificent ancient city was shrouded in a hazy mist, obscuring its interior.

He stood still for a moment, then lifted his foot and took a step forward.

They entered Yin Chang'an without any hindrance.

The city scenery came into view.

"Oh my god," Li Yiyi murmured in a daze.

The city was exactly the same as the ancient city of Chang'an that Zhang Fusheng had seen in Wei Lingzhu's divine realm.

The only difference is that the city is not empty, but filled with one 'person' after another.

Pedestrians, servants, merchants, taverns, children, soldiers, a general riding a tall horse, and a nobleman sitting in a sedan chair.

These 'people' were all cast in bronze.

Chang'an was a scene of flourishing flowers, as if a moment from that time had been captured and used to create this Great Tomb, this magnificent city within a tomb!

Yin Chang'an

Zhang Fusheng murmured, leading the three terrified men, and walked one step to the front of the palace, then another, as they were about to enter.

Something rumbled within the palace—the Heavenly Stele, the Yin Heavenly Stele—blocked him, just as he had been unable to enter Yin Chang'an within Wei Lingzhu's divine realm.

This is a true celestial stele, far surpassing the false celestial stele in the Other Shore World; it restricts not only the gods.

Even those with divine abilities cannot enter!

But avoiding it is also very simple.

Zhang Fusheng's thoughts connected with the Heavenly Position of Lao Tzu, and as he predicted, the luminous Heavenly Stele within the palace suddenly fell silent.

The Li Clan Royal Family traces its lineage back to Laozi.

Anyone can block this Heavenly Stele, but they would never stop the ancestor of the Li Clan Royal Family.

So Zhang Fusheng led the three into the palace, through the palace gates, along the paths, and finally stopped in front of the Taiji Hall.

In front of the Taiji Hall, the Dimensional Convergence Point swayed and shifted, appearing both real and illusory.

Yuan Feidao sat upright in front, his eyes closed, holding a Maitreya Buddha Statue in his arms. Within the statue floated the Maitreya Heavenly Position.

He was completely unaware that someone was approaching; his entire mind was focused on the Maitreya Heavenly Position, communicating with the things within it.

Zhang Fusheng silently opened his Fiery Golden Eyes —truly opened his Fiery Golden Eyes —under the terrifying strain, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were rapidly draining away!!

But at the same time, he also saw it.

He saw what Yuan Feidao was communicating with within the "big belly" of Maitreya Heavenly Position.

It felt incredibly familiar and dear.

Yes--

Nine Netherworlds!!

The Nine Netherworlds, truly and utterly placed ten thousand years in the future!!

The Nine Netherworlds are deep and dark, the earth shrouded in gloom. Luofeng Divine Mountain stands in the far north, the City of Wrongful Death is deserted, Zhong Shan stands tall, and the Divine Corpse of Candle Dragon is entwined around its body.

The Yellow Springs River is surging, and a woman is drowning in it.

Everything was observed by their Fiery Golden Eyes.

With Fiery Golden Eyes can see through the heavens above and observe the depths of the netherworld below.

How could it be here?

Zhang Fusheng felt a chill run down his spine, and then, he realized what was happening!

The Nine Netherworlds will exist in the next ten thousand years.

The future lies within Maitreya's belly.
