As Jiang Liu had anticipated, both the Tathagata and the Jade Emperor reached an impasse, and in the end, the Jade Emperor turned and left.
As the coordinator of the Journey to the West project, the more anxious the Jade Emperor was for the Buddhist Sect to make a decision, the more the Tathagata was inclined to delay it.
The Jade Emperor turned and left, with no intention of giving up, but rather to pause temporarily, contemplate for a while, and then continue to persuade.
After all, this matter was of great importance, and both sides needed to harmonize gradually. The Jade Emperor did not expect to finalize everything with a single visit to the Great Thunder Monastery.
"Amitabha, farewell, Your Majesty!" Watching the Jade Emperor turn to leave, the Tathagata at least performed his formal duties well and rose to send him off.
"Buddha, please stay!" The Jade Emperor appeared composed on the surface, betraying no hint of the previous disagreement.
