Chapter 593: Chapter 493: Nijas’s Displeasure, Master of the Rope!_2
"Oh?"
"Why have you come? What kind of help does our grandmother need from me?"
The Myriad Forms Immortal couldn’t help but ask.
[Nijas] placed his palms together and spoke, "That group of Danavas has temporarily taken our Daityas’ throne. Su Jieluo, our tutor has not yet returned. Grandmother hopes you can become an Asura mentor!"
"To worship for our Daityas, to strive and gain strength in the sacrifice!"
[Nijas] said solemnly.
An Asura mentor?
The Myriad Forms Immortal was slightly startled.
As he knew, the last Asura, Su Jie, was devoured by Mahadeva. He has not come out yet, and it would probably take some time before Mahadeva releases him.
And the Heavenly God Tutor was also in the midst of arduous cultivation.
"That is not a problem!"
The Myriad Forms Immortal said.
"Good, then come with me to Earth!"
[Nijas] continued.
"Alright!"
The Myriad Forms Immortal shook his head. He slowly turned around, unavoidably glancing in Vighna’s direction. "It’s a pity that this time I didn’t get to see the Divine Light of the Liberator."
"Nor did I enter Vighna!"
The Myriad Forms Immortal muttered under his breath.
At that moment, his other two heads had come out. It would have been easy to offend the Three Aspects Deity if he entered Vighna at this time.
His voice was not loud, but [Nijas] still clearly heard these words.
"Narayana?!"
"Even the gates of Vighna did not admit Myriad Forms. How arrogant!"
"How could such a person be ranked with my Supreme Lord among the Three Aspects Deity!"
[Nijas] glanced at the Myriad Forms Immortal, muttering incessantly in his heart.
He devoutly believed in Mahadeva, was not fond of Vishnu, and even felt discontent that He shared the title of the Three Aspects Deity with Mahadeva.
"One day!"
"I will prove that Mahadeva is the greatest God in the world!"
"The God of Gods!"
[Nijas] thought to himself.
...
Heavenly Realm.
The Devas, each with their own duties, were busy at work.
Sun God Surya stood upon the Sun God Chariot.
He stood tall on the chariot, with the God of Dawn, Aruna, driving in front, while seven white divine horses crossed the sky, radiating endless warm light.
Wind God Vayu gently employed Divine Power.
Gentle, cool breezes floated through the world.
Blowing into forests, into houses, into deserts...
Within these endless breezes, everyone could feel a sense of comfortable coolness.
Fire God Agni listened to the message in the Fire Sacrifice, operating the offerings; Water God Varuna summoned his friends beneath the sea’s surface, entertaining guests.
Airavata swung its trunk.
Huge white feet stepped on the rainbow, beating thunderclouds, and with the echoing cries from the fields, countless clouds and rain descended.
Boom!
Rumble!
Suddenly, a series of violent thunderclap sounds instantly echoed through the Heavenly Realm.
The thunder was ear-splitting, reverberating endlessly.
At this moment, all Devas abruptly looked up, gazing into the sky above.
"Indra!"
"Indra has returned!"
...
A wave of excited voices rose.
Roar!!!
Airavata also fiercely flapped its fan-like ears, its large eyes brimming with tears, stirring with excitement.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Devas transformed into streaks of Divine Light, colorful and varied, all rushing towards the Heavenly Realm.
Soon, Wind God Vayu, at great speed, was the first to dash into the Heavenly Emperor’s Temple, to behold the familiar great red cloak.
"Indra!"
"My brother, you have finally returned!"
Wind God Vayu shook his head, said excitedly.
He strode forward, immediately approaching.
Indra slowly turned around.
He smiled gently, peacefully at the approaching Wind God Vayu and smiled, "Hmm, take a seat first. There’s something I’m going to announce shortly!"
Hmm!
Wind God Vayu’s eyes slightly lifted, immediately revealing a curious gaze.
He moved slowly and took his place upon the throne.
One by one, the other Devas arrived, and after gathering in the presence of Indra, they took their seats, curiously watching him.
Finally, Sani also arrived.
He stood at the doorway of the temple, blinked, and looked forward, instantly seeing Indra at the center of the great hall.
Swish!
In that moment, his gaze flickered, and there was fear in his demeanor.
Plus, the back of his head was still aching!
Hiss!
Sani couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling a phantom pain.
He slowly walked up to Indra, brought his palms together, then looked up and said, "Vajra Holder, great awakener of minds!"
"I have reflected on my actions during this time!"
"My arrogance made me lose my reason; I could only see my karmic retribution but not my faults. I have come to recognize my errors!"
"Please forgive me,"
pleaded Sani hastily.
After speaking, he looked up at the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne and then took another deep breath.
"Please return!"
Sani said gravely.
Truth be told, he was somewhat frightened now.
Having become the Heavenly Emperor, he achieved nothing and was continually defeated instead.
One could say the experience was quite unpleasant!
After much contemplation, he went to seek Mahadeva and moreover, he saw the sky-reaching light of liberation. Therefore, under Mahadeva’s counsel, he made this decision.
Whoosh!
At this moment, many Devas inside the Divine Temple turned their heads, all showing expressions of surprise.
"!!!"
Indra slightly raised his brows, looking at Sani with astonishment.
This fellow actually chose to flee now!
"Ahem! Ahem!"
He coughed twice, then slowly began to speak, "This matter is not important; there’s something even more pressing."
Whoosh!
Sun God Surya got up, a happy smile on his face saying, "This matter is very important!"
"Yes! This is indeed very important!" Fire God Agni clenched his fist. "After all, this is about the position of the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Yes indeed!"
said Wind God Vayu in succession.
At that moment, a series of agreeable voices rose one after another.
The whole temple suddenly displayed signs of disorder, everyone crowded in front of Indra, shaking their heads, gesturing extravagantly, incessant in their chatter.
Suddenly, Indra felt overwhelmed!
He looked around, only to find that no one showed any sign of stopping.
He could not bear it any longer!
"Wait a minute!"
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
Indra suddenly opened his mouth, letting out a low growl.
The sound was thunderous, rumbling fiercely!
The terrifying sound echoed all around, with faint blue lightning flickering, entwined with the power of sound, instantly subduing the surrounding Devas, freezing them in their places.
Whew~
Indra took a deep breath.
He looked around, his eyes landed on the immobilized crowd, enjoying the sudden silence.
His mood suddenly improved greatly!
"The position of the Heavenly Emperor is not important!"
"There’s something much more crucial to attend to!"
Indra stated with a heavy voice.
Whoosh!
He abruptly raised his hand, and a golden rope instantly flew out, clenched within his palm, emitting faint fluctuations of Divine Power.
Boom!
A low rumble of thunder resounded.
The power that had immobilized the Devas dissipated instantly.
They all focused their gaze, unable to help looking at the golden rope in Indra’s hand.
"Is this...a rope?"
"It’s filled with the scent of death!"
"Could this be the blessed rope that Narayana had offered earlier!"
A chorus of surprised voices rose throughout the temple.
The Devas turned their heads, staring at the miraculous golden rope sparkling with divine luminance.
Indra lifted his arm, slowly spreading his fingers.
Whoosh!
The rope immediately soared, its golden light rippling like water, floating in midair, as if suspended on the surface of water.
"Yes!"
"This is Narayana’s rope!"
"Whoever is recognized by this rope can become the guardian of the West!"
"Try it for yourselves!"
Indra said.
As soon as the words fell, many Devas’ eyes lit up, all eagerly fixing their gaze on the rope.
What a treasure!
This was surely a treasure!
"Whoever wants to try first, see if it will allow you to become its master!"
Indra said.
Hiss!
The many Devas exchanged glances, all their breaths tightening, itching to give it a try.
"I’ll go first!"
Sun God Surya declared.
He moved forward, his body radiating light, dazzling and blinding, nearly condensing into a halo of brilliance that shimmered as he approached the rope and then extended his hand, grasping it firmly.
