A servant hurried in from outside, bowed respectfully and said, "My Lord Buddha, Maitreya Buddha requests an audience outside!"
Great Sun Tathagata's brow creased slightly, a thought unconsciously flashing through his mind: what does he want?
In the past, the competition for the position of Buddha had led Great Sun Tathagata and Maitreya Buddha to trade blows and pit their Magic Treasures against each other; their relationship could definitely not be described as amicable. Without prior friendly interaction, why would he suddenly show up now?
The grand voice of Great Sun Tathagata echoed within the hall: "Invite Maitreya Buddha in!"
The servant respectfully acknowledged, "Yes!" and turned to walk outside.
Moments later, Maitreya Buddha entered slowly from outside. His plump figure appeared especially tiny compared to the spacious hall, but the Buddha Wheel behind illuminated the hall, making his presence imposing and extraordinary.
