In the very heart of the West Pole Celestial Palace, within the Gouchen Emperor's Palace.
Over a hundred years had passed, yet the majestic figure remained covered in wounds. For a being of his stature, for such an Existence, a century was little more than the blink of an eye.
But now, this wounded, majestic figure, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. A dark light flared within his pupils, and a divine radiance washed out, seeming to encompass and judge countless worlds.
He rose abruptly, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Daoist Monarch Lu Ya, what brings you here?"
The staunch, powerfully-built Daoist lowered his gaze slightly and replied indifferently, "I come to deliver a Decree from Maitreya."
"Is that the Future Buddha Maitreya, or the current Buddha Mother Maitreya?"
"The Maitreya Buddha has already entered nirvana. Naturally, only the Buddha Mother Maitreya remains."
