Chapter 489: Chapter 432: The Dim Righteous Law Net, I Want a Child! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)
Indra slightly lowered his head, his eyes looking downward.
He gazed at his own raised right hand, within which unexpectedly lay a large net.
"A net?"
Indra raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He couldn’t help but examine the large net closely.
This large net, with seven horizontal and seven vertical cords, had a total of fourteen long ropes, which were dull and lightless, feeling quite coarse to the touch, as if they were just ordinary ropes.
They lacked the formidable power they had before!
"I remember this rope was filled with the Power of Righteousness!"
"How come it’s gone now!"
"Has it become dormant?"
Indra wondered aloud.
The Bound One had previously attacked him with this very net, its Power of Righteousness within so extraordinary that had he not been the Vedas Protector, he would have likely been immediately constrained by the net’s power.
Floods of power, no matter how immense, would hardly resist it.
"Forget it!"
"Even if its power isn’t apparent, I’ll keep it close for now!"
"I’ll just hang on to it!"
"Perhaps in the future, there might be a way to restore its power!"
Indra’s mood immediately lightened.
Humming a tune, he spun the Righteous Law Net in his hand, and then there was a flash of golden light in his palm.
Whoosh!
The Righteous Law Net was collected by him.
The next moment, Indra’s eyes shifted, turning towards The Namesake Bali, who was sitting cross-legged there, lost in meditation.
"Bali!"
"The Bound One..."
Indra’s eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts stirring.
The identity of The Bound One, now confirmed to be a Liberator, was not easy to determine, but he must be related to Bali.
Otherwise, he would not rest dormant within The Namesake Bali.
"Such secrets indeed!"
Indra murmured softly.
He lifted his foot and took a step forward, coming slowly before The Namesake Bali.
"Awaken!"
Indra raised his hand, gently placing it atop The Namesake Bali’s head.
In this moment, he seemed like a spiritual master performing an initiation, utilizing the power of his five consciousnesses and five aggregates, controlling the five senses, to awaken The Namesake Bali.
Whoosh~
The breath of The Namesake Bali gradually deepened.
His expression tensed, and the call of the king gradually reached his ears.
Whoosh!
The Namesake Bali’s eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes, his vision clearing as he looked towards the king before him.
"My king!"
"Did something just happen?"
The Namesake Bali lifted his head, his hands pressed together in prayer, his face suddenly exhibiting a surprised delight.
Before Indra could speak, The Namesake Bali continued excitedly.
"I thought I just heard a voice!"
"He said he’s returned!"
"Was it you who dispelled him?"
The excited voice of The Namesake Bali was respectful as he looked up at Indra before him.
Indra blinked.
He had been pondering how to speak, not expecting the man himself to have figured it all out already.
"Exactly!"
"That’s right!"
Indra said.
Hearing this, the light in The Namesake Bali’s eyes flickered even brighter, his sparkling eyes filled with vivacity.
He quickly got up, pressing his hands together and approaching Indra.
"My king!"
"Could it be a curse?"
The Namesake Bali squinted his eyes, musing.
Indra shook his head slightly.
He thought for a moment, pinched his index finger and thumb together and said somewhat vaguely, "The matter is too complex indeed, but there is a certain connection. You should not contemplate it too deeply, or you might inadvertently draw that non-entity forth!"
The Namesake Bali was immediately startled.
He couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Hiss!
That voice, mysterious and unknowable, not completely dispelled even by the king—he must never again...
With this in mind, he couldn’t help but feel grateful as he looked at Indra.
"The Namesake Bali" had a focused gaze.
He saw the rise and fall of the king’s chest, as if a great exertion had taken its toll, leaving him gasping for breath.
"I understand!"
"Thank you!"
"The Namesake Bali" pressed his palms together, overflowing with gratitude.
At that moment, his expression gradually turned resolute, and he clenched his right hand into a fist, pounding it against his chest as he sincerely said, "My king, I will never be able to repay your kindness!"
Huh?
Indra looked at "The Namesake Bali" in surprise.
Is this guy really that naive?
"It’s okay!"
"It’s not a big deal!"
Indra slowly turned his head.
Seeing this, "The Namesake Bali" was deeply touched. He finally understood why his father Vairocana was willing to follow King Bali.
Because he is worth following!
"King Bali truly is a paragon of virtue!"
"The Namesake Bali" shook his head, filled with emotion.
In that instant, he was moved and filled with countless feelings, thinking about going to find his father Vairocana for a chat.
...
In the realm of Earth.
The Devas all stood erect at this place, quietly observing the death of the elephant demon.
Blood flowed in streams, seemingly endless.
This was clearly a long and drawn-out process.
Vishnu’s expression was serene.
His eyes calm, like the blossoms of spring, he watched everything silently, waiting for the demise of the elephant demon.
"Indra has actually gone to Sudra’s Realm!"
Vishnu murmured.
His eyes twinkled, he was about to continue paying attention.
Just then, calls suddenly rose in his ear, interrupting his thoughts.
It was a familiar, gentle female voice.
"Om ~ Praise Narayana!"
"Om ~ Praise Narayana!"
"Om ~ Praise Narayana!"
...
Vishnu blinked.
Listening to this familiar voice, he couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.
The voice was...
"Parvati!"
Vishnu whispered softly.
He glanced at Mahadeva, who was engrossed, then he showed a smile and slowly took a step forward.
Whoosh!
The space changed.
With this step, Vishnu instantly traversed the void, vanishing from Earth, and appeared in a dense forest.
In the forest, dead leaves covered the ground.
The scorching sun illuminated everything, baking the Ascetics below.
This Ascetic, beautiful in appearance, had dry leaves on her head and seemed to blend with the earth as ants climbed over her, gnawing at her flesh.
Whoosh!
Vishnu revealed his Divine Light, suddenly appearing here.
The Mysterious Wheel of Sight kept spinning at his fingertips, golden tassels fluttered and twirled, shooting out twinkling sparks, with blue ribbons billowing behind him, supremely holy.
"Parvati!"
Vishnu called out softly.
He lowered his head, looking at his sister who had completed her asceticism, his eyes brimming with joy.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Parvati finally woke up, opening her eyes.
She shook her head, her eyes filled with joy!
"Brother!"
Parvati pressed her palms together, slowly rising up from the ground, her face full of delight.
Vishnu showed a smile.
He raised his right hand, slowly saying.
"Speak your wish!"
"Sister!"
Vishnu smiled.
Upon hearing this, Parvati didn’t hesitate, and with her hands pressed together, she excitedly said.
"I want a child!"
