Chapter 471: Chapter 414: Indra Is Right, Elephant Demon Blessing! (Vote for monthly tickets!)
"Next, I will go to give blessings!"
Shiva held the Trishula, his expression stern, and took two steps forward before speaking.
Upon hearing this, Wuyou Miao also stood up.
She frowned and stepped forward two paces, saying discontentedly, "Father, you were clearly about to tell the story. Why must you suddenly give blessings now? Can’t you wait?"
Wuyou Miao was very unhappy!
Her mother had gone to perform asceticism, her father was telling her a story, but just as it had started, he was going to break off to bless someone else.
Shiva’s gaze became slightly focused.
He looked at his daughter, his expression growing increasingly grave as he slowly spoke.
"Wuyou Miao!"
"Fulfilling the believers’ requests is the Supreme Lord’s divine duty!"
"We cannot shirk our responsibilities for personal reasons!"
Shiva said.
"No!"
Wuyou Miao lowered her head slightly, her expression looking very unsightly, and immediately spoke up.
The divine bull Nandi looked worried.
He pressed his hands together in prayer, lifting his head apprehensively to look at his Supreme Lord and the young Lord. It would be bad if a rift formed between the Supreme Lord and his daughter.
What to do?
Nandi looked around nervously.
Whoosh!
At that moment, streams of brilliance descended, and the figures of Indra and others immediately appeared.
This dazzling array of brilliance instantly caught Nandi’s attention.
His eyes sparkled, and his ears twitched.
"Praise the Devas!"
Nandi trotted up, his face full of joy as he rushed to the many Devas.
Indra raised his head and immediately noticed the standoff. He slightly tilted his head, glanced at Nandi, and spoke.
"What’s going on?"
Indra asked.
Nandi blinked nervously.
"The Supreme Lord was telling Wuyou Miao a story, but just as he began, he needed to give a blessing."
"They started arguing!"
Nandi said.
Blessing!
Upon hearing this word, the Devas shivered instantaneously.
Their eyes narrowed, and they felt as though they had been struck by lightning. It was as if invisible Asuras stood over their heads, wielding Big Pestles and pounding on their brains.
Boom!
Rumble!
Sun God Surya’s face turned solemn, his radiance suddenly dimmed; Fire God Agni’s surrounding heat gradually faded; Wind God Vayu held his breath and focused, not daring to speak; Water God Varuna also swallowed nervously.
Mahadeva was going to bestow a blessing!
No need to guess—just thinking about it was sufficient to know that an Asura had completed his penance.
Once this Asura summoned Mahadeva, he would surely receive a mighty blessing, and then most likely he would charge into the Heavenly Realm, starting to beat up the Devas.
"We don’t want this sort of thing!"
Kashigyakya’s expression changed drastically as he could no longer hold his composure, suddenly springing forth.
He leapt in two or three steps and arrived in front of Shiva.
"Father!"
"Are you going to give a blessing again?"
Kashigyakya’s eyes trembled as he exclaimed.
He had just experienced the Asura’s beatings and truly did not wish to go through it again.
"Indeed, a blessing!"
Mahadeva replied.
"Is it an Asura?" Kashigyakya’s eyes widened, hope flickering in his gaze.
If it turned out that this ascetic wasn’t an Asura then it would still be alright,
"Yes."
"It is an Asura!"
Shiva shook his head with certainty in his response.
Kashigyakya brought his hands together in prayer, and beseechingly said,
"Father!"
"These Asuras commit so many evils, they..."
As soon as his voice fell, Shiva’s expression immediately turned sour, the corners of his mouth that had been slightly raised now lowered, and the smile disappeared.
"Enough!"
Enough! Enough! Enough!
Indra’s voice suddenly rang out, abruptly cutting off Kashigyakya’s words.
Kashigyakya turned sharply, his youthful eyes full of bewilderment.
"Teacher?"
Kashigyakya didn’t understand.
Indra smiled, lifting his hand to gently pat Kashigyakya’s shoulder and said, "Kashigyakya, blessing is a part of the Righteous Law, a cycle of the world."
Hearing this, Shiva nodded slightly.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a faint arc.
Well said!
"Indra is right,"
Shiva said.
Indra shook his head and continued, "We should trust the Supreme Lord just as the Supreme Lord trusts us!"
"Yes,"
Shiva said with a smile.
Divine light radiated from his body, faint mists of white rose and gradually enveloped his form, obscuring his figure and blurring it from view.
"By the way, Mahadeva,"
"Which Asura are you going to bless?"
Indra asked with his hands clasped together.
Thunderous rumbling!
White vapors rose, fog proliferated, growing denser and denser.
A faint voice emerged from within the thick fog, suddenly transmitting outward and echoing in everyone’s ears.
"!!!"
Indra’s gaze sharpened.
Savoring the voice he heard, he couldn’t help but speak out slowly, articulating a name.
"Elephant Demon!"
Indra murmured to himself.
Hearing this, the Devas looked at each other in dismay.
Elephant Demon?
Never heard of it!
But even an Asura unheard of would undoubtedly become very strong, extremely strong, after receiving Mahadeva’s blessing.
"Elephant Demon, I have not heard of this Asura!"
Sun God Surya murmured to himself.
Fire God Agni also chimed in, "I haven’t heard of it either, but once Mahadeva bestows his blessing, it will definitely become immensely powerful!"
"Indeed,"
Wind God Vayu said with a look of apprehension.
"We need to be careful!" Water God Varuna nodded.
"Elephant Demon!"
"Sounds somewhat familiar!"
Muttering the name, Indra felt it seemed vaguely familiar.
In deep thought, his eyes suddenly snapped open, coming to a realization.
Remembered!
"Elephant Demon!"
Indra’s expression darkened.
Kashigyakya blinked in surprise, looking towards Indra and asked, "Teacher, do you know this Elephant Demon?"
"No,"
"But I feel that Mahadeva may be in trouble!"
Indra muttered to himself with a slightly heavy expression.
Elephant Demon!
He had remembered now, the blessing of this fellow was simple—it was to let "Mahadeva" enter his body!
...
Earth.
A lake of molten lava.
Fierce flames burned vigorously, scorching magma spattered everywhere, continuously falling in all directions, the magma that splattered onto a large rock gradually cooled and formed a pitch-black boulder.
Within this large rock,
Sounds of devout praise emanated from the pitch-black stone.
"Om〜Praise the Supreme Lord Shiva!"
"Om〜Praise the Supreme Lord Shiva!"
"Om〜Praise the Supreme Lord Shiva!"
...
Among these sounds, a hazy white fog suddenly swept in, descending upon this lake of lava.
Where the mist passed,
The lava cooled, rocks turned to soil, and droplets of water formed.
Even more, tender sprouts broke through the earth, continuously unfurling fresh leaves, displaying vigorous life force.
Swish!
The mist dispersed.
Shiva’s tall figure radiated golden light, instantly revealing himself midair.
In his right hand, he held a Trishula, tapping it lightly into the void with a bang, and the pitch-black boulder in the middle of the lava lake instantly shattered.
Boom!
An Asura’s eyes flickered and lit up.
"Om〜Praise the Supreme Lord Shiva!"
The Elephant Demon Asura brought his hands together in respect and opened his eyes.
