Silent music accompanied by the relentless sound of heartbeats, as if standing at the peak of a volcano, where a terrifying atmosphere could erupt at any moment.

“It’s better to offend an Immortal than a Deva!”

Narada Muni’s gaze shifted, landing upon the assembly of gods.

His gaze intertwined with the Devas in midair, sparking against one another, flickering through the air.

Surya looked terrified, Vayu panicked, Agni at a loss for what to do, and Varuna’s face was stupefied.

Expressions flitted back and forth amidst this entanglement.

Finally, Narada Muni brought his hands together in prayer.

He spoke!

“Both Supreme Lords are the greatest among gods in my heart!”

“My wisdom is truly insufficient, and I cannot answer this question, but perhaps the Lady Masters would like to ask the Devas!”

“They are the priests of the Supreme Lords, operating the world.

Surely, they must have an answer in their hearts!”

Narada Muni, slyly deflecting, said thus.

Upon hearing this, both Goddess Lakshmi and Parvati blinked, their bewitching eyes immediately falling upon the multitude of Devas.

The Devas stiffened in an instant, all frozen in place.

“Good thing I ran fast!”

Indra murmured to himself.

At this moment, he was using Maya Illusion Power, blending in with the Immortals and even using Divine Power to change his attire into an orange robe, mingling among them.

The Immortals around him were all strangers.

But they were all staring so intently at the Devas that they didn’t notice him, which allowed him to slip in so effortlessly.

“I should’ve practiced Maya!”

“When I have time, I’ll have to learn more!”

Indra pondered to himself, deciding to practice Maya Illusion Power once he returned to the Heavenly Realm.

He knew some Maya Illusion Technique, but it was roughly learned and very easy to be recognized by Immortals and Devas.

If he were to continue studying it, blending in among the Immortals would become much simpler, and, if nothing else, it would make escaping easier too.

Indeed, learning more things opens many paths!

At this moment, both Goddess Lakshmi and Parvati’s gaze fell upon the gods.

“Surya, you speak first!”

Parvati’s face was beautiful, her skin emitting a faint blue glow as she glared angrily at Sun God Surya.

“I, I, I…”

“I don’t know!”

Surya stammered, shrinking back, his hands originally raised to his waist now dropped, as he said with a mournful face.

He could not afford to offend either of these two goddesses.

Goddess Lakshmi represented wealth and controlled the ‘fortunes’ of the gods; Parvati, in her Kali form, symbolized death and held the gods’ ‘lives’ in her hands.

Fortune and life were both held by others.

He dared not provoke them!

He simply dared not!

Both goddesses snorted coldly, their gazes then turning, landing on the Fire God Agni.

Fire God Agni looked terrified.

His hands joined in prayer, his body shaking uncertainly, now shifting his feet, now swaying his frame, completely unsure of what to say.

“This…

this…

both are great?!”

Fire God Agni ventured.

As soon as the words fell, they immediately ignited the fury of the two goddesses, both staring deathly at Agni.

Fence-sitters were the most despised!

Boom!

A terrifying pressure spread, enveloping Agni’s entire being.

Agni cowered, his hands together in prayer, like a small flame about to be blown away by a fierce wind.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless!

Next up was Wind God Vayu.

Vayu swallowed hard, gazing at the two goddesses and glancing left and right, he eventually chose to bring his hands together in prayer, whispering, “Perhaps it is…

the Protector God?”

At these words, Parvati’s face glowed bluer with rage as she furiously glared at Vayu, causing the Wind God to shudder.

Hmm hmm~

Goddess Lakshmi held her head high, smiling lightly.

“There’s also Water God Varuna!”

Goddess Lakshmi said smilingly.

Water God Varuna always followed the majority.

Whichever side had more followers, Varuna would choose.

It seemed, then, that Goddess Lakshmi had won!

“Wait a minute!”

Parvati suddenly interjected, interrupting Goddess Lakshmi.

Her eyes moved, suddenly falling on Soma, who was next to Adili Immortal, and she said, “There’s Soma too, let him choose first.”

Whoosh!

A clear space immediately opened up around Soma, as the Immortals made way.

“Uh…”

Soma dared not speak and bowed his head with palms pressed together.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a streak of silver light, floating away and flying towards the Moon Wheel above Shiva’s head, settling within it.

Stake secured, gone!

“It seems Soma has chosen Mahadeva!”

Parvati also smiled.

She was very happy!

Goddess Lakshmi’s expression darkened considerably as she glowered towards the last, Water God Varuna.

Parvati, too, smiled as she looked at Varuna.

Water God Varuna pressed his palms together, his eyeballs spinning rapidly.

Swoosh!

The next moment, his Divine Body instantly became transparent, turning into a water figure before splashing down onto the blue grass, becoming a puddle of water.

“Lady Master, please regard me as nothing but a puddle of water!”

“I beg you, don’t ask me such questions anymore, I really don’t know!”

Varuna’s voice emerged from the water.

Both Goddesses let out a cold snort.

Their eyes then moved again, scanning the assembled Devas.

“Where is Indra?”

The next moment, Goddess Lakshmi swept her gaze and spoke.

Hearing this, the Devas and Immortals turned their heads to look and, indeed, they did not see Heavenly Emperor Indra’s figure.

“Strange, where is the Heavenly Emperor?”

“Where has the Heavenly Emperor gone?

I’m sure I saw him just now, why is he missing?”

…

The Immortals wore puzzled expressions.

Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma’s glances shifted subtly, almost imperceptibly, to Indra who was hiding among the Immortals.

Indra hurriedly blinked to signal them.

Do not expose him!

Shiva remained silent, Vishnu simply smiled without a word, and Brahma also looked unconcerned.

“You must be mistaken, the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t seem to have come; he must be busy with his austere practices!”

Indra breathed a sigh of relief.

He activated his Maya, disguising himself as an Immortal, and spoke in a gentle voice.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Immortals also showed puzzled looks.

“That’s right, I didn’t see him either.”

“I didn’t see him either!”

…

The many Immortals murmured to themselves.

“Is that so?”

“Since Airavata is here, Indra must definitely be around!”

Suddenly, Goddess Lakshmi lifted her hand and pointed directly at Airavata, who was nibbling on tree leaves not far away.

Huh?!/p>

Airavata turned his head in surprise and confusion.

“Indra!

Indra!

Indra!”

Parvati, too, with her eyes reddened and her face swirling with blue light, let out an angry roar.

The sound echoed endlessly within Vighna and did not disperse for a long time.

At that moment, the gaze of the Three Aspects Deity also landed on Indra; now he could no longer hide!

The moment had come!

He had no choice but to reveal himself!

Indra stepped forward, dissolving his Maya Illusion Power, and presented himself before the two Goddesses.

“Praise to Goddess Lakshmi!”

“Praise to Parvati!”

Indra said with his hands pressed together.

At that moment, both Goddesses glared intently at Indra, demanding in unison, “Speak, between Mahadeva and Vishnu, who is greater?”

Tsk!

Indra spread his hands wide.

“If that’s the case, then I must tell the truth!”

“I had thought the Lady Masters were here for a noble discussion of great depth, but instead it is about whether Shiva or Vishnu is greater?

If the Lady Masters wish to know, then I shall tell you.”

“I have something to say, please listen quietly!”
