Chapter 428: Chapter 382: Meditate on Great Wisdom, Worldly Desires Can Never Be Fully Extinguished! (Seeking Monthly Votes!)
Indra slowly spread his hands.
Within his palm, a wisp of pink mist, silky and fog-like, drifted and curled between his fingers like a Naga, then rose and spiraled like a giant bird at his fingertips.
Ever-changing, mysterious and dream-like!
"This strand of power comes from Sani’s wife, Manda."
"That day, she was veiled by this power and subsequently lost her reason!"
"It is the power of Asura!"
Indra said.
Hearing this, Vishnu slightly lowered his gaze, his eyes focusing intently on the pink mist in Indra’s hand.
"It is the power of Desire Asura!"
Vishnu slowly said.
In his pure, lotus-like eyes, the initially warm smile gradually receded.
"Desire Asura?"
Indra blinked, lost in thought.
Vishnu gently shook his head.
In his dark pupils, countless shadows flickered, as if capturing the flow of all things, with scenes flashing through his eyes.
"Desire Asura!"
"This Asura was born from the desires of the gods!"
"He can hide within the world’s desires, hard to locate, unpredictable, and once he conceals himself, it becomes very difficult to find him."
Vishnu said.
Hearing this, Indra slightly bowed his head.
"The desires of the gods!"
"It wouldn’t include me, would it!"
Indra’s heart tightened.
He stealthily glanced at Narayana, noticing the other’s solemn expression.
Indeed!
This Desire Asura is extraordinary!
The abilities of Desire Asura are quite formidable, and if not guarded against, could lead to major trouble.
"Then, can one be immune to the power of Desire Asura?"
Indra continued to ask.
Hearing this, Vishnu continued to speak.
"Law, profit, and desire are the three essentials of life!"
"Since righteous law, wealth, and love are what the heart seeks, if unchecked, thoughts rise, then it is not being controlled by Desire Asura but rather willingly falling under the command of desire."
"All that one can do is to control oneself, to control the senses!"
Vishnu said softly.
As he spoke this, his gaze became more intense, and his tone deepened.
"Even if Desire Asura is blocked, the world’s transition from order to chaos is a truth of the universe that cannot be obstructed."
"From perfection to imperfection in righteous law is inevitable!"
"And with this process, unrestrained desires are born."
"Desire Asura is born from this!"
Vishnu said.
Hearing this, Indra seemed contemplative.
From what Vishnu implied, the birth of Desire Asura would greatly accelerate the end of the era.
As righteous law gradually collapses, the Era of Perfection will end, followed by the era of three parts, the era of two parts, and finally, the Kali Yuga.
Kali Yuga, also known as the Age of Struggle.
During that time, only a remnant of righteous law exists, with life in constant conflict, filled with sin and degradation.
These four eras total four hundred thirty-two thousand years, marking one cycle of the world, and they, the Devas, will continue to exist into the new era.
The world, after experiencing a thousand such cycles, eventually forms one kalpa.
This time is a few billion years.
At that time, if the Devas cannot reach the Brow Chakra, they will not be able to transcend the cycles of reincarnation and will perish at the end of the kalpa.
However...
Indra still had doubts.
They, the Devas, had just been born in this kalpa, and this is the first cycle and the first era they have experienced.
Regarding the specific processes involved, he still had many uncertainties.
"When the final Kali Yuga ends, the world will have completed a cycle!"
"What will happen to the Devas then?"
Indra asked.
Hearing this, Vishnu’s expression was gentle and calm, like a wandering poet, he gently spoke.
"As Kali Yuga nears its end."
"The Devas will briefly sleep!"
"I will descend in an avatar to return chaos to order, to bring back the Era of Perfection, and complete a cycle."
"After returning to the Era of Perfection, the Devas will awaken!"
"Of course, if things are out of control, Mahadeva will also intervene, burning all that belongs to the Kali Yuga."
Vishnu spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Indra blinked, a strange color flashing across his eyes.
Mahadeva will intervene...
Why would Shiva intervene? Could it be that during the chaos of the Kali Yuga, even Narayana can’t save us, and then the world will be destroyed?
That’s a bit dangerous!
Indra took a deep breath and continued to ask.
"Narayana!"
"If you can’t control your own incarnations, will the Kali Yuga have many powerful Asuras?"
Indra asked.
A look of surprise and astonishment flashed through Vishnu’s eyes.
"Indeed!"
"You are right!"
Vishnu’s eyes twinkled, he shook his head, his tone very affirmative.
The Kali Yuga is an era of struggle and the most degenerate era.
The Asuras, embodying chaos and degeneration, will undoubtedly give rise to many incredibly powerful Asuras in this era.
Their greed will also reach its peak!
Besides, there will be other troubles during the Kali Yuga.
These troubles might even be more severe than the Asuras.
"Profit, Law, Desire..."
"Liberation!"
Vishnu murmured softly.
Profit, law, desire are the three essentials of life.
Above these essentials, what’s more important is "Liberation," the liberation of life, the liberation of wisdom.
"Indra!"
Vishnu suddenly spoke, calling Indra’s name.
Indra looked up abruptly.
In that instant, he saw Vishnu’s smile and his eyes filled with appreciation and expectation.
"Indra! Oh wise man of the Vedas!"
"Go and comprehend wisdom!"
"I believe you will soon find liberation too!"
Vishnu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Indra’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It seemed Narayana didn’t want to say anything more.
He actually had some other questions, like whether the power of the Desire Asura would be effective against the Three Aspects Deity.
Indra shook his head.
He lowered his head and gazed downward, looking at the pink breath in the palm of his hand, its movement unpredictable like floating clouds.
Hmm...
Should he use Narayana later to test this power?
A sudden thought emerged in Indra’s mind.
Hiss!
Indra took a deep breath, stealthily glanced at the glowing Narayana, and then pushed the thought to the back of his mind.
Forget it!
There’s no need for that!
Thinking so, Indra pressed his palms together and gave Vishnu a slight bow.
"Praise Narayana!"
Indra said.
After speaking, he turned and moved slowly away.
The light flickered in Indra’s eyes as he continuously recalled his conversation with Narayana, his mind filled with myriad thoughts.
"That Desire Asura is hard to catch!"
"It seems that if there’s a chance in the future, I must defeat him in one strike!"
Indra grumbled in his heart.
He blinked and continued to ponder, recalling the last words of Vishnu.
"Understand wisdom, achieve liberation?"
"I need to reach the Brow Chakra soon."
Indra thought to himself.
With that thought, his form flickered and turned into a golden radiance, instantly appearing within the palace.
Shachi sat on the bed, her face full of surprise.
"Supreme Lord!"
"You’ve returned so soon?"
Shachi asked.
"I must comprehend the Great Wisdom!"
Indra said.
