Chapter 50 - 50 50 Strategic Shift I'm Here to Endure Hardship Please Follow

50: Chapter 50: Strategic Shift, I’m Here to Endure Hardship (Please Follow) 50: Chapter 50: Strategic Shift, I’m Here to Endure Hardship (Please Follow) The issue of weakening divine power was not only present in Indra.

Fire God, Water God, Wind God, and Sun God, these great deities, also felt the decline of their internal strength, as if their bodies had been hollowed out.

Especially Sun God!

Surya showed a pained expression, clutching at his lower back, as a sense of weakness surged within him.

“Move away, move away!”

“You all get off my divine chariot!”

Surya hastily waved his hands, urging them.

Having so many Devas and Gandharvas squeezed into a single Sun God Chariot was a severe overload; the divine power expended was all his.

If it weren’t for Aruna’s superb driving skills and the extraordinary strength of the Sun God’s horses, they might have fallen before reaching Brahmaloka.

Boom!

The sound was like a mountain collapsing!

The Devas flew off the chariot en masse.

The Gandharvas also released the radiant ropes emanating from the Sun God Chariot, landing steadily in Brahmaloka, curiously looking around.

A vast emptiness stretched before them, with the scent of lotuses wafting from the void, and countless faintly discernible melodies emerged, most divine and sacred.

The dwelling of the Creator God Brahma!

Truly splendid!

Swoosh!

Light converged in the Brahmaloka, and a pure, pink-white lotus materialized in the void; Brahma appeared within this sacred radiance, seated above the lotus, facing all directions, with the Vedas, prayer beads, a lotus, and a water jug in his hands.

Seeing this scene, Indra’s expression became slightly stern.

With such a crowd running to Brahma’s home, they still needed to show proper respect to Brahma.

Indra stepped forward, placing his hands together.

“Praise Lord Brahma!”

As he spoke, the gods lined up behind Indra, and the Gandharvas stood neatly in line, restoring an orderly state.

“Praise Lord Brahma!”

“Praise Lord Brahma!”

…

Praises echoed in layers, resounding non-stop in Brahmaloka, causing countless fragrant lotuses to descend from the heavens.

In the temple, the Gandharva guards and even the dancing Apsaras looking towards Brahma’s direction, ceased their movements and praised the Creator God Brahma.

Hm?!

Rahu, thoroughly inebriated, suddenly sobered up a great deal; he scratched his head with the tip of his tail.

Then, his head swooshed upward in a swift motion, glancing at the wine cup nearby and his tail that floated aimlessly, and immediately spat in disgust.

“Serious up!”

Rahu slightly tilted his head back, following the direction of the crowd, looking towards Brahma, and praised with a devotion he’d never had before.

After all, Brahma was his ancestral patriarch!

His father and the other Asuras were opposing their patriarch’s kin, which was utterly disgraceful.

“Praise Lord Brahma!”

Rahu praised.

Brahma looked around, his gaze sweeping over the praising deities, listening to the continuous echoes of praises around him.

He felt delighted, his snowy white beard curling up involuntarily.

Such treatment used to be reserved for Protector God Vishnu!

“Jīnchuáng has claimed the Heavenly Realm, becoming the master of the Three Realms.

Now that he has forbidden sacrifices, he is in defiance of the Righteous Law, and he will perish when the time comes!”

“Devas!”

“For now, you must endure some hardship!”

Brahma nodded slightly, speaking.

When it came to Jīnchuáng, he felt somewhat uneasy; after all, the fellow had been able to breach the Heavenly Realm thanks only to his blessing.

He hoped the Devas would not hold grievances.

Upon hearing this, Indra’s heart leaped with joy.

He sensed the Power of Asceticism within him, burning like modest flames, accumulating and settling bit by bit.

He was ecstatic.

One word!

Thrilling!

“Supreme Lord!”

“Although we’ve lost the Heavenly Realm to Jīnchuáng’s assault, we’ve gained reflection from this experience!”

“I believe with the presence of the three Supreme Lords, the cosmic order will surely be maintained.”

Indra said with a smile.

Brahma’s eyes slightly opened, shining brightly, feeling elated.

He loved hearing such words!

“You may all reside in Brahmaloka for the time being!”

Brahma revealed a pleased smile.

Swoosh!

The next moment, Brahma’s figure disappeared before the eyes of the deities.

Once Creator God Brahma had vanished, the solemn atmosphere immediately dissipated, and the deities all reverted to their cheerful selves.

“Although we’ve lost the Heavenly Realm, we have come to Brahmaloka, where the Creator God resides.

We’re still above the Asuras, trampling them underfoot.”

“Moreover, not a single soldier of ours has been harmed!”

“We can counterattack at any moment!”

The Fire God Agni clearly understood confidence quite well.

Hearing this, a glimmer of realization flashed in the eyes of the Water God Varuna.

“That’s logical indeed!”

Varuna agreed.

At that moment, the Ritual Master Immortal, his wife Tara, and the God of Wine Soma also came walking leisurely.

The God of Wine Soma wore a contented expression.

His armor shone brightly with silver, dazzling to the eyes.

“You’ve fought many battles with the Asuras today.

You must be very tired.”

“I’ve already prepared some fine wine!”

“You can enjoy it at any time!”

“The Apsaras are also ready to dance, celebrating the safety of the Devas.”

the God of Wine Soma said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the gods were overjoyed.

“Let’s drink Soma to our hearts’ content!”

“Let’s go!”

“Wait for me, I’m going to check on Saroniyu, I’ll be right there!” Sun God Surya laughed heartily as he first flew towards the direction of the Sun God Temple, prepared to see his wife.

Wind God Vayu’s eyes shifted as he looked at Indra who still stood in place, unable to help but smile.

“Heavenly Emperor, let’s go!”

“Your drinking prowess is the strongest among the gods, I want to see you drink them all under the table!”

Wind God Vayu said.

At that time, Indra was like a bobblehead, shaking his head repeatedly.

Drink?

That would ruin his ascetic practices!

No drinking!

Absolutely no drinking!

“I’m going to rest for a bit, you guys go ahead and drink!”

Indra said.

“Rest?”

Vayu looked at Indra with concern and asked, “Heavenly Emperor, are you injured?”

As a friend to all gods, Indra had quite a number of close friends.

Naturally, the noisy crowd of gods turned their heads to look, showing worry in their eyes.

“It’s nothing!”

“I’m just pondering, thinking about the big counter-offensive plan for the Heavenly Realm.

When the time comes, we’ll go straight to Earth and wipe out the Asuras completely!”

Indra bluffed.

The big counter-offensive, huh!

Spring’s big counter-offensive!

Summer’s big counter-offensive!

Autumn’s big counter-offensive!

Winter’s big counter-offensive!

The counter-offensive plans only need to exist on paper.

Hearing this, the gods left reassured.

Indra also entered his temple, looking around, ready to find a place to continue his ascetic practices.

Within the Heavenly Emperor’s Temple, gold covered the ground, gems adorned the pillars.

There was the glittering Huaguang, the soft divine fabrics that blocked the light, and the enchanting fragrance wafting through the air, making it seem like a treasure trove of endless wealth.

“Praise to the Heavenly Emperor!”

As Indra passed by, crisp and pleasing sounds came from the mouths of the beautiful Apsaras.

With bright eyes and white teeth, they laughed charmingly, serving in this temple with a breeze of fragrance.

Indra: “…”

This is hardly a place conducive to ascetic practices!

“This won’t do!”

“I am planning to undergo hardship!”

Indra pursed his lips and turned to leave the Heavenly Emperor’s Temple.

Where to go?

Indra furrowed his brows slightly, scanning the surroundings.

He saw only the dazzling splendor of gold and luxury, which made his head spin.

“Why is everything in Sudarśana City like this!”

“Why are they built so lavishly?”

“I am an ascetic, I need to find a different place, perhaps the Rough Wilderness would do!”

Indra thought to himself.

The Rough Wilderness was a place where weapons were kept!

In his memory, that place was very ordinary.

The Heavenly Realm had been peaceful for a long time, and it had been a long while since he last visited!
