But sadly life is an inescapable obligation, and King Mu had not finished his duties here below. As he left, the Queen Mother's parting words to him were: "Though the peaks stand as high as the clouds, you crossed mountains and rivers to come from the distant east; may you live to be a hundred, and may we meet again."
可惜生命是不可逃避的責任，穆王人世任務未了，王母臨別贈言：山陵聳立雲端，你由山川阻隔的遙遠東方而來，願你長命百歲，能再相會。
