Chapter 1105: Rebirth and Nirvana (2)
Haojing, the imperial city.
The magic skills of the outer sect guardians were truly terrifying. After Lu Yi patched them up, they had no weaknesses. Thousands of outer sect guardians, especially those ascetic immortals who were proficient in all kinds of magic, joined forces to expand the Imperial City Square, which was originally only tens of miles in radius, to a million miles in radius.
A huge bell above the head of Emperor Taichu roared, and large groups of heavenly soldiers and generals swarmed out.
The temple in the hand of Emperor Taimi flickered, and countless Holy Spirit clansmen also rushed over madly.
The only one left was Emperor Taiyu, who was expelled from Taiyu Heaven by White Snake, and whose descendants and family members, the Hua clan, were also wiped out in the previous battle, so he simply stood beside Emperor Qing and chattered with him about something.
The Green Emperor's whole body was stiff, his hands tightly grasping the talisman that looked like it was carved from tree bark.
Emperor Taiyu stood beside Emperor Qing, his eyes never leaving the talisman. He looked smiling, but the words he spoke were extremely evil: "So, we can be considered brothers of the same blood, 'Arthropod Sect Straight Wing Division Monarch-level Hunter Three Five Nine Seven Nine'..."
Shaking his head, Emperor Taiyi chuckled and said, "I don't like your 'real name'... Can it be considered a name? Even if it's called Gousheng, Ludan, or Lailitou... it's more like a proper name than this!"
"Well, you are just an insignificant, monarch-level hunter." Emperor Taiyu said dimly, "Monarch-level... your bloodline potential is not weak, and you can be considered a mid-to-high-level minion, but you are not a 'holy species' with a high bloodline, so you are just a 'cannon fodder' level thing."
"As for the hunter, your nature is determined. Your nature is to find the enemy, discover the enemy, and tear the enemy apart... If you cannot effectively annihilate the enemy, then you must send back information as soon as possible, summon your fellow tribesmen, gather strength, and destroy the enemy."
"You are just a monarch-level hunter. You are not a 'mother nest' of the 'holy seed' level, nor a 'master' of the 'holy seed' level, let alone a 'lord' of the 'holy seed' level... A hunter that cannot even be included in the list of casualties actually occupies the Supreme Primordial Heaven, unscrupulously reproduces bloodlines, and even wantonly studies and tampers with the bloodlines of various intelligent races. Through these bloodlines, you have 'extraordinarily' reproduced your 'unique bloodline'."
Emperor Taiyi said softly: "You are not obedient, do you want to rebel?"
The Green Emperor's whole body was stiff, and the light in his huge eyes dimmed, leaving only the strongest fear.
'Arthropoda Straight-winged Division King-class Hunter 35979' This 'real name', or rather, this 'factory number', was like a nightmare that had accompanied him for many, many years in the early years of his life.
Until that day, he received the order, he left the mother nest, stepped into the chaos, and spared no effort to search for clues of Maitreya and the remnants of the defeated troops led by Maitreya... He searched in the chaos for many years, and finally, he was extremely lucky and found traces of Maitreya.
What surprised him even more was that when he found Maitreya, Maitreya was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He didn't need to do anything, Maitreya had already reached the critical point of extinction. And the remnants of the defeated army led by Maitreya, in addition to being severely injured, actually had internal strife - the monks Maitreya brought to the Supreme Primordial Heaven were not only the direct descendants of Buddhism, but also a large number of Taoist monks and monks from other systems.
Before the Green Emperor took action, the Buddhist, Taoist, and other sects lost Maitreya's suppression and fought fiercely for the leadership of the Supreme Primordial Heaven. After all, the Buddhists in the Nalanda Holy Land were numerous and powerful, and because the entire world was forcibly opened by Maitreya, all the laws of the great way were marked by the Buddhist mark.
Therefore, with the help of the 'local advantage', the Buddhist practitioners brutally suppressed the Taoist practitioners and other 'fellow practitioners' who were in internal turmoil, and even killed the powerful practitioners among them one by one. However, some of the remaining followers were not killed, but exiled to the small worlds in the lower realms that accompanied the low-dimensional space when the Supreme Primordial Heaven was forcibly broken.
Buddhism itself was also severely damaged, so the Green Emperor prepared to take action.
What made the Green Emperor overjoyed was that after the Buddhist sect was severely damaged, their original disciples began to have conflicts with these "indigenous disciples" who were included in the Supreme Taichu Heaven. The two sides fought each other, you cheated me, I cheated you, suppressed each other, and calculated against each other. The little vitality that was originally left in the Holy Land of Nalanda was also exhausted by internal consumption.
With the little power represented by the Green Emperor's 'real name', he actually has no qualifications to threaten the Holy Land of Nalanda that has just descended upon the Supreme Taichu Heaven!
But you keep having internal strife, internal consumption, and killing yourselves!
Then, the Green Emperor really took action!
He began to follow the standardized 'battle process', training and supporting the natives such as the Great Emperor of the Beginning, adjusting their blood, infusing them with power, imparting the great way, and casting the most precious treasures...
A protracted war broke out. In the early stages, the Taichu Emperor and several others supported by the Green Emperor were incompetent and were beaten so badly that they fled away with bruises all over their heads.
A bigger surprise suddenly came - the "mother nest" behind the Qing Emperor, as well as the many masters and lords under the "mother nest", all lost contact. According to the Qing Emperor's guess, perhaps they had all been completely destroyed in the brutal war!
According to the characteristics of the Qing Emperor's ethnic group, even if his upper class, the 'mother nest', 'overlord' and 'lord' to which he belongs are all destroyed, as long as there is a powerful person from other ethnic groups with a higher bloodline status than him who 'takes over' in time, the Qing Emperor will still be tightly clamped. He will still be just an insignificant 'cannon fodder' who is at the mercy of others, fighting on the 'front line of the battlefield' but not even qualified to be included in the 'casualty list'!
But Maitreya ran too fast and too far, and was already far away from their main battlefield. At least the Green Emperor had spent at least a million years chasing him all the way through the chaos.
With such a long distance, Qingdi completely lost contact.
There is no being of higher bloodline status to take over him... The distance is too far, and the Qing Emperor cannot receive the order to 'take over' him!
Some "secret restrictions" in the Qing Emperor's bloodline were thus activated.
Although his blood concentration was not high enough, and his blood status was not high, some of the shackles in his blood were completely unlocked. With the status of "Hunter", he obtained the power equivalent to "Mother Nest"!
This was the battle in which the Holy Land of Nalanda was destroyed. The Great Emperor Taichu and his men became stronger and stronger in battle, and the armies under their command grew larger and larger. In the end, the overwhelming army completely submerged the Holy Land of Nalanda. The truth was revealed - the Qing Emperor had the 'right to adjust bloodlines', and he could study the bloodlines of the intelligent races to his heart's content, and effectively mix bloodlines with his own to produce more powerful and larger bloodline descendants!
The only problem is that his status is too low and his bloodline concentration is too weak. Even if he obtains the power of the "mother nest" under special circumstances, he does not have the corresponding "ability".
Blood samples, no.
Avenue template, no.
Bloodline map, no.
He is a "empty shell" with nothing, who has to create everything from scratch and improve it bit by bit from scratch... He is just a fresh and green "empty shell" newcomer with no experience or foundation!
He finally recovered from the serious injuries of that battle, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to do something big. He planned to completely destroy the Buddhist sect, completely occupy the Supreme Taichu Heaven, use this big world as a foundation, reproduce offspring, study bloodlines, develop and breed stronger and more magical bloodline families, and even get rid of the shackles in his bloodline and ascend to a higher level...
He even had extravagant hopes, he even had a little ambition, that perhaps, one day, he could bring with him countless clansmen, countless descendants, countless lackeys and minions, stand in front of the supreme being of his clan, and sit down and talk with the other party in a calm and relaxed manner!
but……
Maitreya is back!
Maitreya wants to come back, that's fine... just kill him. A great Buddhist who just struggled back from Nirvana, it's conceivable that he won't be very powerful. Killing him, or even devouring him, will only bring greater gains to the Green Emperor, give him a greater foundation, and make his future path easier!
But…but…but…
The Green Emperor hated the word "but" - this word represented all kinds of accidents, all kinds of uncontrolled "emergencies", and even all kinds of potentially fatal traps!
Just like the Emperor Taiyu in front of him!
The origin of Emperor Taiyao...well, it should be his original body, the origin of White Snake. Emperor Qing found information about White Snake in his huge memory bank.
Many years ago, in the holy land of Nalanda , there was a young monk who practiced the Joyful Dharma. He was sent by a great Buddhist master at that time to establish a Buddhist kingdom in the secular world and rule over a region, just like a local emperor. His fiefdom was vast. According to the standards previously set by the Heavenly Court, the fiefdom of this young monk was as large as a thousand standard celestial realms.
White Snake is just an ordinary country girl on an ordinary floating continent.
However, she had been beautiful and lovely since she was young, and when she grew older, she became even more stunningly beautiful, and could be called a national beauty... If a family without strength gave birth to a girl who was too enchanting and beautiful, it would not bring happiness, but only misfortune.
I won't go into the details. White Snake's family was destroyed. When she was dressed up to be charming and beautiful and sent to the palace of the happy monk, a raiding team of the Green Emperor came and slaughtered the entire "bride-sending team", only White Snake was spared. The Green Emperor was impressed by White Snake's talent and her blood feud with Buddhism, and put her on the list of key training.
The number of mortals that the Green Emperor worked hard to cultivate at that time was at least trillions.
But there are only a few who eventually rise up, destroy Buddhism, and become the supreme being... White Snake is undoubtedly the most outstanding one among them. White Snake is a lucky person he dug out from the grassroots and saved from misfortune. And Emperor Taiyu was created out of thin air by a strand of White Snake's blood.
Emperor Taiyu's background is clean and his origins are clear. It is impossible for him to have any connection with the terrible clan behind Emperor Qing!
But why did he know the Qing Emperor's 'real name'?
This abominable name represents being enslaved, detained, trampled under the feet of those high and mighty superiors, being driven around at will, being sacrificed at will, and even having one's death in battle not mentioned by anyone...'a vile name'!
There was blood and gore everywhere.
The outer sect guards, led by Ji Shili, were shouting and laughing wildly. They even took off their armor, bare-chested, wielding various weapons, and fighting frantically in the army formed by the heavenly soldiers and generals and the Holy Spirit clan.
These guys are pure demons, without any mercy that a Buddhist should have.
They killed wantonly, madly devouring the flesh, blood, and souls of the slain heavenly soldiers and generals and the Holy Spirit clan. Among them, Ji Shili's eating style was the most greedy and the ugliest - she would lie on the ground from time to time, and swallow up the large puddles of blood on the ground like a dog licking!
The Great Emperor Taichu and the Great Emperor Taimi were madly activating their own treasures, the Taichu Bell, the Star Flag, and even the Holy Spirit Hall, and were already unleashing their might at their full potential, but they were unable to shake these outer sect guardians in the slightest!
Massacre.
Pure carnage.
Countless heavenly soldiers and generals fell, and countless holy spirits fell.
Qingdi's eyes were dull, he saw those astrologers under the command of Taichu Emperor - they were all the most capable and battle-savvy generals under the command of Taichu Emperor. They followed Taichu Emperor and struggled to survive the bloody battle that destroyed the sacred land of Nalanda.
They faced the former holy land of Nalanda and all survived the final battle.
And today, under the crazy slaughter of these outer sect guardians, several Xingxiang who were considered strong men in the realm of the Great Emperor, had their armor shattered and their bodies pierced. They spit out blood, like helpless little white rabbits, with their eyes wide open and blank, and fell heavily to the ground.
"It doesn't make sense!" The Green Emperor sighed.
"That's the truth." Emperor Taiyu stared at the talisman in Emperor Qing's hand with a grim look. He chuckled and said, "You don't want those damned beings behind you to suddenly show up, do you? I don't want that either... So, we can cooperate!"
Qingdi whispered: "For example?"
In the eyes of Emperor Taiyu, golden-green divine light rolled up and down towards Emperor Qing's body. He whispered, "Oh, so the source of your bloodline was destroyed? So, you are... a broken, battle-transformed, 'inferior mother nest'?"
The Qing Emperor's face twitched violently.
He looked at Emperor Taiyu angrily.
"Inferior nest"... Although it is true, it is not pleasant to hear this word. It is very unpleasant to hear!
"You, what's wrong with you?" The Green Emperor growled in anger and shame.
The Great Emperor Taichu shouted at the side: "Taiyu, what are you doing? Get started... Why are these guys so difficult to deal with? How can Buddhism have such a terrifying background? They are so terrifying, how were they defeated in the past?"
The Great Emperor Taichu was yelling wildly. He couldn't understand why these outer sect guardians were so difficult to deal with… They could not be killed, nor could they be injured. No matter how powerful the magic spells were, they could not hurt them at all!
Emperor Taimi also had cold sweat oozing out of his head.
How evil are these outer sect guardians?
If the Buddhist sect had taken these guys out back then, how could they have destroyed the holy land of Nalanda?
Emperor Taiyu heard the roar of Emperor Taichu. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Emperor Qing: "Come, give this thing to me... It should not be used, at least, it should not be used at this time... I can make up for what you lack... If you and I work together, I think we can create a world of our own."
“Don’t use it. You are a lucky guy who has escaped the shackles of blood and the restraints of status… You don’t want them to hear the news and come and trample you under their feet again, right?” Emperor Taiyu hooked his finger: “Perhaps, you don’t know yet, inferior goods like you will be recycled afterwards!”
The Green Emperor gritted his teeth, stared at the Great Emperor Taiyu, and asked word by word: "I just want to know what happened to you... There are many things that you should not know!"
The soul of Emperor Taiyu flashed with golden green light, and his eyes had turned into two burning green suns. The overwhelming green light shook the soul of Emperor Qing, and he subconsciously took two steps back. Emperor Taiyu looked at the inexplicably frightened Emperor Qing and smiled, "Don't be afraid... I don't know what happened. But it happened. I got the blessing, I understood your origin... Even now, I can know your 'real name' and your affiliation just by looking at you..."
Emperor Taiyao stretched out his hand, and Emperor Qing's body stepped back. Then, Emperor Taiyao's palm fell gently. Emperor Qing suppressed the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart and let Emperor Taiyao pat him lightly on the shoulder.
"I even know all your weaknesses." Emperor Taiyu smiled brilliantly: "After all, you are just a king-level hunter, you are just a 'pawn' charging into battle, nothing more... But with me, everything is different."
Emperor Taiyu's hand moved downwards, and Emperor Qing pondered for a moment, then handed the talisman in his hand to Emperor Taiyu.
Emperor Taiyu exhaled, picked up the talisman that looked like it was carved from tree bark and was green and lush, and laughed softly, "That's right, that's right. Give it to me, and then, we will join forces to create a world that belongs to us!"
"I have the knowledge you lack."
"And you have a bodily function that I lack..."
"You and I join forces, this is a perfect match!"
The talisman came into the hands of Emperor Taiyu. He frowned and looked at the talisman, and said softly: "Oh, damn thing... a positioning beacon, plus the great magical power of sky-breaking guidance... who will be the person guided here? But I'm not curious at all, I'm not curious at all!"
Emperor Taiyu shook his head firmly, the talisman in his hand flashed with a faint light, and he put it away.
He smiled as he looked at the heavenly soldiers and the Holy Spirit Clan that were falling like rain from the sky, and said softly, "Now, let's find a way to get rid of Taichu and Tailu first... Because with me, these two pieces of trash are no longer needed. And the treasures in their hands are simply wasted."
The Green Emperor had already handed over the talisman, and when he looked at the Taiyu Emperor, there was no longer the inexplicable fear in his eyes as before.
Hearing what Emperor Taiyu said, Emperor Qing smiled with great interest: "Oh? I agree with this proposal very much... Anyway, according to my original plan, they are the nourishment for my next growth. Letting them attack here now is just a waste of resources."
"But the only problem is, what should we do with these guys after we get rid of them?"
The Green Emperor frowned in distress. "To be honest, I was just a 'child' who had just escaped from the nest. My first mission was to track down Maitreya and the remnants of his army... I once told you that Maitreya was also severely injured by me... Well, I lied."
"Before the Supreme Primordial Heaven, I had never fought against these annoying Buddhists. So, I had never seen these weird guys, and I didn't expect that they would be so difficult to deal with!"
Emperor Taiyu said calmly: "It is difficult to deal with them because you have not found a way to deal with them."
"Conventional forces are useless against them."
"And I know exactly how!"
Emperor Taiyu sighed softly, and a deep green light flashed in his soul again. He whispered, "The source of their power is extraordinary... Unless you have the same status as them, it is impossible to deal with them."
"And I, just happen to have such power!"
Emperor Taiyu smiled, took a step forward, and then he was behind Emperor Taichu. Tianshu Laojun and Dafang Laojun were standing shoulder to shoulder behind Emperor Taichu. Countless space cracks around Tianshu Laojun were spreading in all directions like a rainstorm, and countless virtual and real chains extended around Dafang Laojun, like a dancing poisonous snake, whipping and hitting around.
Emperor Taiyu suddenly appeared beside them. Tianshu Laojun looked back and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Taiyu, these..."
'puff'!
The hands of Emperor Taiyu suddenly turned into a emerald green color, with a clear texture, as if they were carved from emeralds. His hands gushed out strands of lightning, carrying a terrifying poison, which easily penetrated the heads of Tianshu Laojun and Dafang Laojun.
The two trusted ministers of Emperor Taichu didn't even have time to let out a scream before their bodies suddenly shrivelled up.
Their flesh, blood, internal organs, bone marrow, brain, and even all their essence and spirit were completely drained away by the hands of Emperor Taiyu in an instant. Emperor Taiyu's body trembled violently, and he shivered with a chill, and exhaled a faint green poison gas with great pleasure.
Emperor Taichu turned around suddenly and saw that only two thin pieces of human skin were left of his two confidants, like two tattered battle flags, hanging on the palms of Emperor Taiyu and swaying in the wind.
The Great Emperor Taichu said nothing, and suddenly turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky. The Taichu Bell roared, rolling up countless chaotic starlight, like a meteor, and smashed down fiercely on the head of the Great Emperor Taiyu. The Star Flag waved wildly, causing the ancient stars in the sky to flash together, and strands of extremely fine starlight penetrated the three layers of the sky, like countless arrows, densely falling on the body of the Great Emperor Taiyu.
The next moment, colorful starlight rippled around Emperor Taiyu.
The colorful starlight from the sky fell on him, causing only a few ripples, but it could not hurt him at all!
Emperor Taiyu's expression became extremely strange. He looked at Emperor Taichu with a smile and said softly, "You haven't figured it out yet... Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed an incarnation of Lady Bai, created from her life essence and blood through artificial concoction."
"So, no matter how unwilling I am to admit it, White Snake and I are one."
"Now, she is Yinyuan's Eastern Palace Empress, and she is pregnant with her and Yinyuan's child... and this child has extraordinary roots and unpredictable origins... Therefore, Lady Bai has the protection of the entire Supreme Primordial Heaven!"
"I am her clone, so I am naturally protected by heaven and earth!"
"Taichu, you used the stolen power of the Great Dao that belongs to this world to deal with the people protected by this world... What's in your head? Pig manure?"
Emperor Taiyu laughed madly at Emperor Taichu.
Emperor Taichu and Emperor Taimi, who heard Emperor Taiyu's words, were almost depressed!
Can things be explained in this way?
Emperor Taimu shouted sternly: "Whether you have the protection of heaven and earth or not... Taimu, what are you going to do? How have the Book of Heaven and Dafang offended you?"
Emperor Taiyu looked at Emperor Taiwei with a smile, and he said softly: " They How did they offend me? But, to me now, you, the 'living beings' who have occupied this world, are nothing but a pile of fertilizer."
"Have you ever seen farmers fermenting manure?"
"To plants, you flesh and blood, you 'animals', are nothing but fertilizer!"
Under the fair skin of Emperor Taiyou, wisps of green Taoist patterns like vines quietly grew, and the wisps of Taoist patterns flashed with hazy green light. An incredibly rich and pure vitality gushed out from his pores and quickly spread in all directions.
On the square that had been expanded a trillion times by the magic of the outer sect guardians, on the huge floor tiles formed by magic, strands of tender green grass grew out of thin air. Under the green grass, thick mosses were spreading and growing wantonly. On the green grass, flowers and trees were spreading at a terrifying speed, growing taller and thicker like crazy.
"Boom!"
The huge sound of the bell shook the heaven and earth. The Taichu Bell fell heavily, but was blocked by the old osmanthus tree that suddenly appeared above the head of Emperor Taiyu. The mutated old osmanthus tree swayed its branches leisurely, hitting the Taichu Bell heavily, causing this treasure of heaven and earth to roll and shake continuously, scattering countless starlight, but it could not fall at all, and could not touch a hair of Emperor Taiyu.
Emperor Taimi, who was rapidly activating the Holy Spirit Temple and seeing the Holy Spirit clan constantly pouring out to join the battle, was horrified.
He subconsciously looked towards the Green Emperor, only to find that the Green Emperor had silently come to his side, with his hands emitting a hint of green light, gently pressing towards him.
Emperor Taimi wanted to dodge, but his body suddenly stiffened and he couldn't move at all.
He could only watch as the Green Emperor's palm pressed against his chest. Inside his body, in his blood, countless years ago, when he was fighting against the Holy Land of Nalanda, he had been 'modulated' by the Green Emperor. Inside his body, the little tricks that the Green Emperor had used quietly erupted.
Everything about him, his flesh and blood, his essence, his soul, like a flood that broke through a dam, continuously poured into the Green Emperor. The Green Emperor's aura was rapidly increasing, while he was rapidly weakening. The huge vitality that continued to pour out of the Holy Spirit Hall was like a seasoning, which only made his "feast" more delicious, but could not stop the Green Emperor from devouring it.
"Damn it!" Emperor Taimi didn't ask stupid questions like 'why', he just stared at Emperor Qing and hummed the word 'damn it' with his teeth bared.
"Yes, you deserve to die. Only when you die can you become my nourishment!" The Green Emperor laughed and said, "I need you!"
The outer sect guards such as Ji Shili were stunned.
These 'powerful enemies' actually rebelled against us? How... did they not take them seriously?
Vasuji Dragon King roared in frustration: "Hey, brothers, they dared to rebel in the face of our siege? They don't take us brothers seriously at all? Come on, kill them!"
The fighting spirit of the group of outer sect guardians grew stronger and stronger, and they cursed loudly, rushing desperately towards the chaotic heavenly soldiers and generals and the Holy Spirit Clan. The sky was full of shattered flesh and blood, and the blood that fell to the ground was so thick that the old corpse and the group of bloodthirsty outer sect guardians could not swallow it in time no matter how frantically they swallowed it...
And in the unfathomable high-dimensional void, the distorted and hideous face of Tathagata, who was fighting with Lu Yi, suddenly froze, and an extremely bright golden light was shining near his heart.
The movements of the Rebirth Tathagata suddenly froze. Lu Yi raised the Heavenly Dragon Zen Staff and struck the Rebirth Tathagata's head with it tens of thousands of times, causing his flesh and blood to fly everywhere. He was beaten to the ground without any ability to fight back...
"No... Maitreya!" The Tathagata screamed, "How could you do this to me?"
In the vast Supreme Taichu Heaven, all the restless laws of the Dao suddenly stagnated.
A trace of unsettling air of desolation slowly drifted over from the source of the long river of time.
Lu Yu subconsciously widened his Dharma Eye between his eyebrows and looked into the void - he saw that in the vast river of time and years in this world, the phantom of Maitreya, who was originally entrenched at the source of the long river and suppressed the trajectory of the entire world, was slowly standing up, step by step, striding towards the Supreme Taichu Heaven at this moment.
Correspondingly, the Maitreya phantom took a step towards the heaven and earth at this moment, and the body of Tathagata became a little illusory, and the mark of his existence was weakened a little, while the Maitreya phantom became slightly more solid, and the aura became a little stronger.
At the same time, the entire void, the entire world, every mountain and river on the vast continent began to spew out Buddha's light.
The Buddha's light exploded from the core of those restless great laws like fireworks, and for a moment the Buddha's light and rhythm filled the entire void.
Maitreya follows the long river of time and rushes towards the present world step by step.
The deceased Tathagata was forcibly replaced, and had to go back against the river of time... and gradually approach Maitreya.
“So that’s how it is…” Wangsheng Tathagata laughed bitterly: “I, don’t accept it!”
"You and I, the original self is one... You have already died... So what if I take your place? But you, you..."
Wangsheng Tathagata shouted sternly: "I hate Buddhism... Your calculations are too dirty!"
Lu Yi stopped his attack. He held the Tianlong Zen Staff in his hand and squinted his eyes at the Tathagata. He roughly understood what was happening... Maitreya was returning, and the Tathagata was really going to die...
No, he estimated that he didn’t even have the chance to be reborn?
