"Ten thousand years, ah. To an individual, it's a long time, but for the Holy Land, it's merely the succession of two generations of Holy Masters. The Holy Land can afford to wait."

"When young, planting a tree in the field, by the time your grandchildren grow up, they can pick fruit under its shade."
"The key is that their family doesn't have just one tree; each generation sows seeds. On average, a tree can mature every few thousand years. If I remember correctly, at this scale, almost every Holy Master's tenure will yield a 'fruit-bearing' tree."
"Indeed..."
"If we continue this way, perhaps it won't take ten thousand years—maybe around a thousand years—a tree can be nurtured. By then, it will be the golden period of the Three Great Sacred Lands."
"A golden period capable of lasting a million years."
"What about after that?"
"What about after that."
