Chapter 389: Chapter 346: The Twin Daughters of Vishnu, Wish to Serve You as Master! (Seeking Monthly Votes!)
"Triple-City?"
The lightning in his eyes condensed, and his pupils trembled with astonishment as he looked toward Maya Asura, murmuring.
Upon hearing this, Maya Asura slowly nodded.
"I have a dream!"
"I want to create a city that shall never be destroyed!"
"I can build three cities, and these three cities will require your arduous cultivation to receive blessings, at which point no one will be able to defeat you!"
After Maya Asura had spoken, he added another sentence.
"Listen to me, you will not go wrong!"
Maya Asura said.
Lotus Eye, Star Eye, and Lightning Ring, the three brothers, looked at each other, their expressions gradually firming.
"Good!"
"We will listen to you!"
...
Thunderous rumbles!
In the starry sky, the stars twinkled, and the Asura army already showed signs of collapse, taking flight in a frenzied escape towards Earth.
The Devas vigorously cleansed these remaining demons!
"We have won!"
A small smile curved the corners of Indra’s mouth as he laughed.
Sun God Surya, driving the Divine Horse, began to charge fiercely; Fire God Agni, wielding the Divine Spear, set the sky ablaze with flames; Wind God Vayu, with his Divine Bow, shot continuously, pursuing the Asura army.
For a time, a scene of thriving prosperity unfolded.
The Three Aspects Deity also watched this battle.
Brahma and Goddess Saraswati cast their gaze down, revealing faint smiles.
The Asuras were finally defeated!
Kailash.
Atop the snowy mountain, the radiance shone brilliantly.
Drifting pure breath enveloped all directions, beautiful and holy, bright and dazzling.
Parvati brought her hands together in prayer.
Her eyes twinkled, reflecting the image of Kashigyakya slaying Toraga, filled with immense surprise and delight.
"Husband! Child!"
"Look quickly!"
With her hands clasped before her, Parvati exclaimed joyfully.
Kashigyakya had completed his mission, and now he could return to Kailash to reunite with his family.
The whole family, together and complete!
Whoosh!
Mahadeva Shiva slowly opened his eyes.
The corners of his mouth gradually curled up, revealing a slight smile.
Vighna.
Vishnu lay on the Snake Bed.
His Snake Bed was soft, engulfing him in its comfort.
His lotus-like eyes blinked gently, twinkling like dewdrops on petals, full of radiance.
With a warm expression, Vishnu’s eyes seemed to penetrate the void. He saw the spear-wielding Kashigyakya and also beheld Mahadeva’s contented smile.
In that moment, Vishnu smiled as well.
What a lovely scene of a father’s kindness and a son’s filial piety!
"As expected of ’Shijiantuo,’ filled with the vibrant power of life!"
Vishnu smiled and said.
Shijiantuo!
The meaning was very simple—Life that sprouts forth!
As his warm, sunflower-like chuckle carried on, the whole world began to change; a gentle breeze caressed the earth, tender green shoots rose slowly from the ground, leaves unfurled, and flowers emitted their sweet fragrance.
A scene of vigorous life and flourishing nature naturally emerged.
Whoosh!
Goddess Lakshmi also tilted her head slightly, watching her husband with rapture.
Suddenly, she discovered something.
In her husband’s compassionate and contemplative eyes, a tear of emotion formed and fell.
This pure tear filled with emotion took flight.
As the tear fell!
Plip!
In an instant, the tear landed on a leaf, splitting in two, and fell upon two blooming flowers.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Golden lights flashed and soared to the heavens, and two graceful figures began to take form within these golden beams.
This was...
Vishnu’s eyes twinkled, watching his two daughters with surprise and delight.
The figures within the light gradually took shape.
Two beautiful young women appeared, their hands joined in prayer, their bright smiles brimming with joy as they looked at Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.
"Father! Mother!"
The two lovely maidens brought their hands together in reverence.
Goddess Lakshmi’s beautiful eyes blinked.
She gently shook her head, and the resplendent, propitious golden light shone out from her close-fitting dress, reflecting her joyful face.
"My daughters!"
Goddess Lakshmi exclaimed with delight.
Vishnu also blinked his eyes.
He first looked at the daughter to his right.
"From now on,"
"You shall be called ’Tipoxina.’"
Having said that, Vishnu turned to the other daughter on his left and smiled, "And you shall be called ’Tidie (die) Shina.’"
Upon hearing this, Tipoxina and Tidie’s faces burst into smiles.
"We praise you, Father!"
With their hands clasped together in prayer, they spoke.
Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi exchanged glances and could not help but smile.
Two daughters!
Indeed!
At this moment, Tipoxina glanced around and, with a twinkle in her eyes full of curiosity, said,
"Father!"
"Why, when I look at the leaves, the green grass, and the blossoms around us, do I see a handsome figure?"
Tipoxina expressed her confusion.
"Yes!"
"Father, wherever I am, I see this figure."
"My heart, too, skips a beat at the sight of him."
"Who is he?"
Tidie was equally puzzled.
Vishnu smiled faintly.
His expression was serene, and with a warm smile, he explained,
"My daughters!"
"That is Kashigyakya, the Son of Mahadeva, the Heavenly Army Commander!"
"You were born from tears of my affection for him, which is why you are so moved by him!"
Vishnu said.
Upon hearing this, the two sisters looked at each other.
"Father!"
"I wish to marry him, to become his wife!"
Tipoxina, with her hands clasped in prayer, spoke.
Tidie, too, clasped her hands and looked up at her father and mother with a plea in her eyes.
"!!!"
The eyes of Goddess Lakshmi flickered, surprised yet reluctant to witness this scene.
Isn’t this too sudden!
The two little bundles just came into being, not yet warmed up, and they want to fly away?
Vishnu laughed.
He shook his head, slowly sitting up from the Snake Bed, and looked at his two newly born children with affection.
"Children!"
"Go and practice asceticism, aspire to it for Kashigyakya!"
"I believe Kashigyakya will fulfill your wishes!"
Vishnu laughed as he spoke.
...
Amidst the starry sky,
The mighty forces were tidying up the battlefield, with corpses of demons scattered across the cosmos, and Indra wore a satisfied expression witnessing the scene.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Mountains, too, spread their wings and came, cleaning up the aftermath.
"Good!"
"Well done, all of you!"
"You have distinguished yourselves this time, and in a while, I will sever your wings for you!"
Indra generously laughed.
He was in a joyous mood.
It wouldn’t be long!
He was about to retire gloriously!
The curse of the Mountains was a mere trifle, simply severing their wings was an easy task.
"To you, great and benevolent Heavenly Emperor, we bow down!"
"Praised be you, Vajra Holder!"
"Merciful slayer of the Asura!"
The Mountains exclaimed joyfully.
At this time, Shijiantuo Mountain flew in with wings spread, his gray-brown mountainous hands tightly gripping an Asura.
This Asura had quite the regal lion’s head, with fierce teeth and fangs, belligerent and formidable in appearance.
He shook his mane wildly as he jostled his head.
"Merciful Heavenly Emperor!"
"I’ve captured an Asura!"
Shijiantuo Mountain came flying in as if to claim credit, landing on the ground.
Thump!
Instantly, the lion Asura fell from the sky, landing in front of Indra, while Kashigyakya and the Devas quickly encircled this lion Asura.
"An Asura?"
Indra’s gaze intensified as he looked down.
"???"
The lion Asura, slightly dazed from the fall, shook his head and looked up.
Hiss!!!
In an instant, the lion Asura’s expression changed drastically, and he gasped in shock.
He widened his lion eyes, looking terrified at the group before him. He, the "Lion-faced" Asura, had been at the very back but, unexpectedly, the other Asuras fled so swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, what was once his rearguard became the frontline.
One moment he was caught, and the next, he found himself at the enemy’s stronghold.
What should he do now?
The "Lion-faced" Asura’s eyes bulged as he brainstormed rapidly.
He knelt in the void, clasping his head in his hands, and crawled forward.
"Spare my life! Please spare my life!"
"I am willing to serve you as Supreme Lord, to become your mount!"
