In the Pure Land, Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo sat together, sipping tea.
Time drifted leisurely by, but it meant nothing to them. Even if the souls in the Pure Land became too numerous to continue slumbering and had to undergo an appropriate reincarnation, it would have no effect on them.
