The Second Sage of Tushita Heaven

"In this life, I do not seek immortality..."

With a soft sigh, the figure of Maitreya Buddha appeared before Biyou Palace.

He leaned against a pillar in the main hall, holding a sword in one hand.

Luo Qiao adopted a posture of having waited for a long time, looking down at the short, fat, pot-bellied monk.

As Longbo Giants, Luo Qiao was tall and robust.

Compared to it, the already short and stout Maitreya Buddha looks like a doll, completely unremarkable.

However, the moment their eyes met, Luo Qiao's expression changed drastically, and the Green Duckweed Sword in her hand trembled involuntarily.

"Oh, it was you!"

"No wonder the teacher specifically asked me to guard that Primordial Spirit here."

With a smile, Maitreya Buddha tilted his head slightly and asked in a slightly surprised tone.

"Do you know who I am?"

With a slight shrug, Luo Qiao slowly straightened up and answered.

"I didn't know before, but the moment I saw you, I knew."

Hearing Luo Qiao's cryptic reply, Maitreya Buddha paused for a moment before realizing what she meant.

"The Knowledge of Past Lives?"

"I never imagined you'd also mastered the ability to foresee Knowledge of Past Lives!"

"Everyone says that the Cult Master Tongtian is not skilled in divination, but now it seems that's utter nonsense!"

Before Luo Qiao reply, Maitreya Buddha continued to laugh to himself.

"It's not that you don't understand divination, but rather that you disdain it..."

"The art of divination only predicts the possibilities of the future; what you need is certainty."

Whether by choice or by necessity, only by determining the future can you personally seize that glimmer of hope.

"Thinking about it that way, the Knowledge of Past Lives is indeed the most suitable Divine Ability 'Path of Dao of Seizing from Heaven '."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiao merely narrowed her eyes slightly, subtly focusing her gaze on the feet of Maitreya Buddha.

From some unknown time, a golden lotus appeared beneath Maitreya Buddha's feet, once again concealing the heavenly secrets and karmic connections associated with it. "Complete cultivation is out of the question; I've only dabbled in it."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have realized your origins only when I saw you."

"The Future World-Honored One, the fifth Buddha of the Bhadrakalpa, the second saint of Tushita Heaven..."

As Luo Qiao revealed Maitreya Buddha's identity, the previously hidden secrets and karmic connections resurfaced, intersecting with this era. "Tsk tsk tsk," I can't bear the title of "sage."

Seeing this, Maitreya Buddha simply stopped trying to conceal himself and instead sat cross-legged on the golden lotus, looking somewhat helpless.

"I was merely fortunate to be born in Tushita Heaven and to descend into the world during the era when the Dao Ancestor was in seclusion."

"In truth, if we really examine this closely, both you and Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable are more suitable than me to become the second sage, to sit in Tushita Heaven and maintain the balance of the Three Realms."

Among the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, Tushita Heaven is undoubtedly the most unique.

This uniqueness is not only reflected in the fact that Tushita Heaven bears the responsibility of maintaining the balance of the Three Realms, but also in the fact that Tushita Heaven has never given birth to any Gods and Devils or demons, not counting Supreme Lord Lao, the incarnation of the Dao Ancestor.

Maitreya Buddha may be the first being to truly be born in Tushita Heaven.

"So, why aren't you staying put in your own time? What's the point of making such a big fuss?"

This was the most perplexing point for Luo Qiao after recognizing Maitreya Buddha's identity.

In a future full of infinite possibilities, Maitreya Buddha is an inevitable being who will be born.

Whether this was Li Boyang's arrangement after he went into seclusion or a natural selection of the Three Realms, Maitreya Buddha had no need to forcibly interfere with the Long River of Time like the Dao Proving One in his pond.

Because he was a born saint, a "Great Luo Golden Immortal" conceived in the Tushita Heaven after the departure of the Dao Ancestor.

"Now that you know my origins, you should understand that I will be born 5.67 billion years after the Buddha Ancestor's passing."

"At that time, I will rebuild Buddhism and Daoism, becoming the second sage after Supreme Lord Lao."

"In other words, if Buddha Ancestor had not passed away, I would not have been born."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiao immediately understood.

The Buddha Ancestor's passing was never solely his personal choice.

The schemes of Ananda, Maudgalyayana, and Mahākāśyapa were clearly intended to rewrite the Buddha Ancestor's future fate upon his passing.

From this perspective alone, Maitreya Buddha certainly had reason to intervene.

In fact, Maudgalyayana's being trapped between the two realms was the result of Maitreya Buddha's secret intervention.

Unfortunately, Maitreya Buddha seemed to have underestimated Mahākāśyapa's determination.

Is the truth really that simple?

Did this second sage of Tushita Heaven really cause such a commotion just to ensure his own rebirth?

Refocusing her gaze on the smiling face of Maitreya Buddha, Luo Qiao couldn't help but continue to ponder.

On the surface, Maitreya Buddha's reasoning seems flawless, even explaining many of the doubts surrounding the incident.

However, after observing the entire course of events, Luo Qiao felt as if she had overlooked something.

"In this life, I do not seek immortality..."

Suddenly, Luo Qiao remembered the chanting when Maitreya Buddha appeared.

Would Amitabha Buddha, who was reborn with wisdom from past lives, truly refuse to pass away?

When Luo Qiao uttered those words, the smile on Maitreya Buddha's face visibly froze for a moment.

But Luo Qiao didn't care, because he finally realized what he had overlooked.

Due to a series of actions by Ananda, Maudgalyayana, and Mahākāśyapa.

Luo Qiao was convinced that Amitabha Buddha, who was reincarnated with memories of his past life, would refuse to pass away.

But the reality is that Xu Jia chose to walk towards his death.

Would the Buddha Ancestor, who descended to earth carrying Xu Jia's memories, necessarily make a completely opposite choice?

This is like a cat trapped in Schrödinger's box.

Before the shoe drops, Buddha Ancestor could make any choice he wanted.

Ananda, Maudgalyayana, and Mahākāśyapa were betting on the possibility that the Buddha Ancestor would refuse to pass away, so what was Maitreya Buddha betting on?

"You don't want to continue being the 'Crown Prince' for 5.67 billion years, you don't even want to become Amitabha Buddha's successor."

"You are hastening your own birth; you want to rewrite your origins..."

With a look of sudden realization, Luo Qiao said in a certain tone.

"Do Maudgalyayana and Mahākāśyapa know that they too have become your pawns?"

"If things were going according to the normal procedure, you should be reincarnated with the soul of Amitabha Buddha!"

"Then you will become the reincarnation of the Buddha, transforming from a 'future Buddha' to a 'present Buddha,' right?"

Sensing the changing flow of Long River of Time, Maitreya Buddha's smile returned to its vivid form.

"Is this the terrifying aspect of the ability to Knowledge of Past Lives?"

"Even in the utter chaos of Long River of Time, you can still keenly perceive that slightest change that is most likely to become the 'future'?" "I made many preparations in advance to arrive in this era, even deliberately avoiding the Dao Ancestor and Nüwa, just so that no one would notice my existence."

"Unexpectedly," I ultimately ignored your existence.
