Jieyin and Zhunti were not the sort to keep the whole feast to themselves.
Of course, the main reason was that neither of them dared to do so.
The four Sages made their decision, and before long, word of it reached the Buddhist Sect.
As a favored son of the sacred lands among the Ten Thousand Races, Shakyamuni wielded considerable influence within the Buddhist Sect.
He learned that two men would serve as his right-hand and left-hand aides, one of whom was the Future Buddha-the Buddha of the future.
The moment that man arrived, he claimed nearly half the sacred lands among the Ten Thousand Races.
Shakyamuni felt deeply aggrieved and naturally went to the two Sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, to pour out his troubles.
Who could have known that Jieyin and Zhunti had even more troubles than he did?
The three poured out their hearts to one another, weeping until they were a complete mess.
With no other choice, Shakyamuni could only accept this seemingly absurd arrangement.
The other man was named Manjushri Guangfa Heavenly Venerable, also known as Bodhisattva Manjushri.
This Bodhisattva was rather special. He would take over several sacred lands independently, making them kingdoms of faith.
That was already quite restrained of him; he had not arrived and immediately crushed all of Shakyamuni's Buddhist forces.
As soon as these two arrived, they divided up most of the domain he had painstakingly built.
Helpless though he felt, he had no choice but to accept this outcome.
He only hoped that Jieyin and Zhunti would not let him down.
Just as he was discussing the sacred lands with the two men, a ray of sacred light descended from the heavens.
