Suddenly, rumors praising Maitreya Buddha began to spread throughout the Three Realms.
"Maitreya Buddha smiles and repels the enemy; Small Mahayana Buddhism flees in disarray."
"Maitreya Buddha overpowers All Buddhas; Ksitigarbha bows and submits."
"Maitreya Buddha sits firmly on Spiritual Mountain; while Ksitigarbha acts wildly and recklessly, a mere Little Bodhisattva, laughable indeed!"
"When Maitreya achieves Buddhahood, all heavens celebrate in unison!"
"Unveiling the mystery: what exactly is the relationship between Duo Bao Tathagata and Maitreya Buddha? And why are they both so corpulent?"
...
As the rumors spread to Spiritual Mountain, numerous Bodhisattva Arhats there also began to discuss fervently, and all eyes instantly focused on Maitreya.
In private, confrontations often arose between Bodhisattva Arhats beneath Maitreya Buddha and those under Ksitigarbha, escalating to physical fights and growing more intense as time went on.
