Chapter 584: Chapter 488: The Eye of the Peacock, Near the Summit
"Reverse the bitter ocean!"
Indra murmured softly.
In his mind, he sensed the golden egg formed by the merging of three channels within the Brow Chakra, and suddenly felt that he could disintegrate it and reenter the cycle of reincarnation.
This method could allow him to reenter the world quietly.
The only drawback was the loss of the Liberator’s memories.
If he was lucky, he could regain his strength in less than an era.
If he was unlucky, a great amount of karmic retribution would burden him, and even by the Kali Yuga, regaining his memories and strength was not guaranteed.
He might only awaken at the end of countless eras, when the world was utterly destroyed.
"This method..."
Indra pondered in his heart.
A figure flickered out in his mind!
It was the Bound One, who had initially been hidden within the Namesake Bali.
"No!"
"After reversing the bitter ocean and reentering the cycle of reincarnation, carrying the power of a past life is simply impossible!"
"There is a problem!"
Indra thought deeply.
The Bound One must have entered this era in a special way unknown to him.
He needed to go and see Bali!
Indra’s eyes narrowed slightly, and amidst his thoughts, he suddenly noticed a soft gaze falling beside him.
He slowly turned his head to look at Vishnu beside him.
Vishnu’s gaze was gentle, and a slight smile appeared on the handsome, youthful face.
"Heavenly Emperor!"
"You have been liberated, and for your contributions to the world, I hope you will bring more welfare to the world."
"I commend you!"
Vishnu’s eyes crinkled with a smile, revealing a faint grin.
At this, his gaze brightened and shifted towards Indra’s back to the seven-colored peacock, Kama Sur.
"This peacock has seven colors, truly beautiful and auspicious!"
Vishnu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Indra slowly turned his head to look at the peacock behind him.
Squawk!!!
Kama Sur craned its neck, its sharp beak open, letting out a piercing cry, its slender tail feathers gently quivering and spreading out, revealing behind the divine light of seven colors.
Red as pomegranate, orange as mango, yellow as turmeric...
The colors between the tail feathers intermingled, displaying an unmatched, enchanting light of illusion.
"Indeed beautiful! And indeed auspicious!"
"But it seems to lack something!"
Indra’s eyes lit up.
In an instant, he looked at the peacock’s slender tail feathers, which bore seven colors, equally dreamy and mesmerizing, and extremely beautiful.
Except...
The colors on these feathers were straight up and down, and lacked the eye-like colorful patches of a past-life peacock’s tail feathers, rather monotonous.
"That’s it!"
"It’s missing ’eyes’."
Indra murmured.
At this moment, he felt inspired, desiring to bestow a blessing, and then slowly raised his right hand, his palm containing an auspicious red pigment, shimmering with auspicious golden light like the great sun.
"Kama Sur!"
Kama Sur! Kama Sur! Kama Sur!
Indra’s voice echoed in all directions.
He smiled, gazing at the seven-colored peacock before him, delivering an auspicious blessing.
"I bless you!"
"Your tail feathers shall grow beautiful hundred eyes, attracting everyone’s attention."
Indra smiled, issuing the blessing.
His voice was not loud.
But as he issued the blessing, his voice instantly resounded, immediately echoing in the ears of all his followers.
Not only that.
At that moment, in the Three Realms.
Whether it was within the temples of Indra or the places where the thunderbolt was worshiped, a subtle shadow of lightning appeared.
And a beautiful shadow of a peacock as well.
The peacock’s tail feathers spread, twinkling with a hundred eyes, extremely beautiful.
A wave of wisdom and beauty spread forth.
At that moment, ascetics everywhere raised their heads, staring into the distance. They did not look at the peacock but at that figure.
"I sense an aura of great wisdom!"
"Profit, law, desire, liberation, I have felt it, this aura of liberation!"
"It is he, the legendary wise man! The Veda Sage!"
...
A series of deep voices followed one after another.
And in one place,
Majestic blood water churned. The blood of the Asura spread between the earth, forming into five vast lakes, the lakes stretching endlessly, one after another.
And between these five great lakes, a massive altar was starkly constructed.
The altar was golden, shimmering with an unrivaled brilliance.
A staircase leading directly to the altar stood tier upon tier.
Ax-wielding Rama’s figure was imposing.
His arms were raised high, his arm muscles resounded together, like the sharp cry of a peacock, lifting a mountain-like mass of gold, he ascended the golden steps one step at a time.
Thud! Thud! Thud...
His footsteps were heavy, each step emitting a deep booming sound.
Ax-wielding Rama gradually made his way upon the altar.
At that moment, he was moved.
Boom!
He released his arms, and the small golden mountain thunderously fell upon the altar.
Ax-wielding Rama suddenly looked up, turning his head to gaze toward the east, looking at the vast figure reflected in the distant sky.
His pupils constricted as he suddenly saw the figure of Indra.
"It is indeed him!"
Ax-wielding Rama muttered to himself.
He pressed his palms together and towards the emerging apparition in the east, he offered a distant salute.
"Praise to the Heavenly Emperor!"
Ax-wielding Rama said in a reverent tone, muttering softly.
He blinked, looking in the direction of Indra, suddenly conceiving the idea of paying him a visit.
However...
"I still have sins not yet forgiven! I still have an altar not yet completed!"
"What a pity!"
Ax-wielding Rama furrowed his brow, he exclaimed.
...
In the Ocean of Milk,
Indra furrowed his brow, suddenly realizing something was amiss.
Not right!
He had only bestowed a blessing, why such a great reaction just now!
Swish!
Indra quickly turned his head, looking towards Protector God Vishnu at his side.
"???"
"A single blessing, to elicit such a reaction!"
Indra showed a puzzled expression.
Protector God Vishnu smiled slightly.
He shook his head slowly, beginning to speak gently, "You are the Liberator of this era, the Light of Wisdom Liberation is complete, naturally, people will sense the blessing you just gave."
"There should be a group of people coming to find you!"
Protector God Vishnu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Indra’s expression changed instantly.
What!
Even after becoming a Liberator, there was still such a matter!
Troublesome!
He liked trouble the least!
Thinking this, Indra’s eyes shifted, an idea formed in his mind.
Swish!
He clasped his hands together, turning his head towards Vishnu.
"Supreme Lord!"
"I have just remembered there is another matter to complete!"
"Please allow me to go and complete it first!"
Indra said.
Vishnu smiled without a word, only shaking his head.
Seeing this, Indra said no more. He instantly turned around and flew out of the Ocean of Milk.
Swish!
Suddenly, from the corner of Indra’s eye, he glimpsed something.
Right!
I must take this with me!
