“The Four Great Continents!”

Indra murmured.

The four large lands surrounding Mandara Mountain inevitably reminded him of the Four Great Continents.

Sun God Surya beside him nodded approvingly.

“Indeed, these are four pieces of land, the Four Great Continents.”

“Look at the land to the south of Mandara Mountain, where my son Yama’s Yama City is located, just below.

It is thanks to the protection of Yama City that this land has been preserved, and it has the most Yama trees, so why not call it ‘Jambudvipa’?”

Surya thought of his son and smiled contentedly.

“Yama” refers to the Jambu Tree.

“dvipa” is an abbreviation of the Sanskrit “dvipa,” which means “earth.”

Upon hearing this, Fire God Agni shifted his gaze toward the continent in the east.

“The Gandharvas used to live on this continent, full of spiritual aura; how about we call it ‘Purvavideha’?”

“Videha” means a place of spiritual aura in the east.

“As for the land in the north, there used to be a field of Kuru, which we have now enlarged even more; might as well call it ‘Uttarakuru’ directly.”

Wind God Vayu said.

Hearing this, Indra’s eyelids twitched.

Kurukshetra Field!

Wasn’t this the battlefield in the Mahabharata where the Pandavas and Kuru Clan clashed?!

Over a billion people died in that battle!

Hiss.

“So, it was we who carved out this great battlefield!”

Indra was taken aback.

Then, following that, the Ritual Master Immortal pointed to the west and said, “Heavenly Emperor, that’s where you once defeated the drought demon and saved the Cloud Ox.

Now there are many ordinary cattle there, traded by mortals, so why not call it ‘Ketumati’?”

Ketumati!

“Ketu” means “ox.”

“mati” means “to take,” implying exchange.

In a brief moment, names were assigned to the Four Great Continents.

Purvavideha, Ketumati, Jambudvipa, and Uttarakuru.

The gods were quite pleased with these names.

At this time, the beautiful face of the Goddess of the Earth, Dhara, revealed the colors of spring, and with a gentle smile, she looked at Indra gratefully, with her hands pressed together.

“Heavenly Emperor, thank you for your help!”

Respect shone in Dhara’s eyes.

“Hahaha!

No need to be polite!”

Indra waved his hand.

He thoroughly enjoyed the reverence of a goddess!

“Please allow me to dance for you~” Dhara said with her hands together, her eyes gleaming.

A dance by the Goddess of the Earth!

This was a rare sight!

Indra’s eyes brightened, and he nodded.

As soon as the words fell, the Goddess of the Earth, Dhara, slowly turned around, her golden-red long dress twirled and danced, like a peacock spreading its feathers, and rhythmic music began to resonate from the earth.

The mountains, lands, and forests upon the earth likewise began to produce a lively and free sound.

Her body vibrated with vigor, her slender waist twisting with a primitive grace, her long arms like swan necks, glancing left and right, her footsteps as if flying, leaping, and as free as a peacock.

The hands of the Goddess of the Earth, Dhara, danced beside her cheeks, casting a somewhat seductive glance toward Indra.

Indra’s eyes shone with concentration, radiating brightness.

A droplet of sweat formed unconsciously.

This droplet was crystal clear as if containing the infinite heavens within, and faint blue thunder flashed within the sweat.

Whoosh!

The transparent sweat slipped from Indra’s fingertips like heavenly clouds descending as rain, crossing the vault of the sky, and falling onto the twirling arms of the Goddess as a gentle breeze passed.

Drip, drop!

The sweat silently disappeared, merging into Goddess Dhara’s body.

In a flash, Dhara’s dance came to an abrupt halt, and she shivered, a strange sensation emerging from her abdomen.

She paused, puzzled.

Strange!

Why would she suddenly shiver?!

Clap, clap, clap!

A round of applause broke out.

Indra’s eyes twinkled, leading the gods in applause.

“This seems to be the Raivata dance created by Mahadeva for Lady Master.”

The Ritual Master Immortal spoke up from the side, proudly showcasing his extensive knowledge.

“Yes, indeed it is a dance created by the great Mahadeva for Lady Master Parvati,” he said.

The Goddess of the Earth, Xīmí, nodded slightly, her lips curling into a light smile.

“She danced wonderfully; it’s just a pity it was so brief.”

“Xīmí, why did you stop so soon?”

Indra asked with a regretful face, filled with confusion.

She was dancing too fast!

He wanted to keep watching!

Men shouldn’t be too hasty, but women shouldn’t be either!

Upon hearing this, Xīmí paused, her cheeks turning a light red.

She recalled the recent scene; she was just dancing for the Heavenly Emperor.

Unaware, she had shivered, not understanding what it was all about.

“I…

I don’t know either!” she said in a soft voice.

At that moment, Wind God Vayu suddenly slapped his forehead and burst out, “Heavenly Emperor, the Asuras on the Milk Sea have already been defeated.

Let’s hurry over; it’s time for us, the gods of the Heavenly Realm, to enjoy the Amrita!”

Indra snapped out of it, his face revealing a dawning realization.

“Right!”

“That makes sense!”

Indra nodded, then frowned in thought, “However, the Milk Sea isn’t safe.

That group of Asuras might come back after being defeated.

It’s better to return to the Heavenly Realm, and then share the Amrita with the gods there.”

He clearly remembered that there was a Rahu hiding among the gods.

He didn’t know whether Rahu had returned to Earth, but it would be safer to go back to the Heavenly Realm.

The Amrita would be safer there as well.

“That’s logical!”

“I agree!”

…

The gods quickly agreed to return to the Heavenly Realm before sharing the Amrita.

“Xīmí, let’s go to the Heavenly Realm.

This is the glory of the gods, and you have a share in the Amrita!” Indra said.

“Yes!”

Xīmí nodded in delight.

…

As the vanguard of the gods, Wind God Vayu went to the Milk Sea and led the multitude of Gandharvas back, while the rest of the gods followed Indra back to the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Realm was vast, the sea of clouds boundless.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The massive Gandharva Army returned one after another.

Indra stood high above, hands on hips, overlooking the scene.

There weren’t many Gandharvas right now, only a million, but once they drank the Amrita, they, being immortal, would have more and more descendants.

In time, having billions of Devas wouldn’t be out of the question.

As for the Asuras, once Sukhacara Sage practiced austerities to Shiva and obtained the resurrection-enabling Sanjeevani Mantra,

the number of Asuras would also increase.

Tilting his head, Indra couldn’t help but click his tongue.

Well, well!

The reason for the skyrocketing number of Devas and Asuras had been found!

The Amrita and the Sanjeevani Mantra might be the biggest reasons.

“Our great armies of the Heavenly Realm have returned.

With the Amrita, from now on, my son Yama will never find a single god.

Death will be far from the Heavenly Realm,” said the Sun God Surya, his eyes shining as he smiled.

“Indeed!”

“This was a great battle for the gods.

With the Amrita, the mere Asuras are no longer worthy to contend with gods,” the Moon God Soma also said with a pleased smile.

Wind God Vayu nodded, “The Asuras will no longer be our match!”

The Fire God Agni and the Water God Varuna also showed agreement on their faces.

Amrita, oh Amrita!

This was the exquisite Amrita!

“Heavenly Emperor, at such a moment worth celebrating, why aren’t you smiling?” asked Agni, turning with a smile.

Indra raised his hand to his mouth, turned to the side, and couldn’t hold it in any longer, laughing aloud.

At that moment, how could he laugh, except to laugh at how prematurely Surya and the others were celebrating.

“Cough!

Cough!”

“Let’s quickly share the Amrita with the warriors!”
