Chapter 279
The world-destroying dance performed to annihilate Wufu's enemies is far too insignificant compared to Wufu Kavia's existence. Wufu's existence is intense and grand, and once one is enveloped by the emotion of missing him, one will naturally be unable to extricate oneself due to that power.
Therefore, based on this surging emotion, under the 'love' that shines like light over everything, Kali's body was filled with the impulse of 'love'.
That impulse was like a love that disregarded everything.
That impulse was like Greed, greedy love.
That impulse was like an extreme, Greed-Lust love.
"No, I just apologized... you can't..."
While desperately suppressing the impulse, Kali let out a mournful cry from her throat.
The Desire churning within her body stimulated her brain, and reason was long gone. The blue-skinned Goddess tasted a karmic fire that seemed to burn her bones and nerves to ashes, like a meteor that had entered the atmosphere, lost its heat source, and was compressed and burned out, ravaging her blood vessels and nerves.
This was the same heat as what had just been writhing inside the Goddess, making one tremble, and Desire continued to increase with this momentum.
"Good."
Kavia responded in kind, and the heat caused Kali to 'move,' a sight that only the two of them could see in a world where time stood still.
"Ah..."
Therefore, there is only one concept: it was borne within Kali's body.
She opened her mouth, extended her long tongue, and extended an invitation to her beloved's tongue as well, just like that.
In short, Kali calmed down and reverted to Durga's appearance, thus bringing the incident to a successful close.
For the gods, this was the final calamity of the Heaven Realm; there would be no more calamities befalling the gods, headed by the Heavenly Emperor.
The focus of the struggle shifted to the Dharma and the Six Schools in the Human Realm. This final era is known as the Sramana Period. Due to excessive secularization, Brahmanism's authority was challenged, and several new sects emerged in India that opposed Brahmin privilege and cared about the well-being of the people. The tradition of renunciation and seeking enlightenment as Shramanas was widespread, and this intellectual trend is known as the "Sramana Movement."
Under the tutelage of Kavia, the Teacher of the Six Schools, each of the Six Schools developed their own insights.
They are all Agnosticism, Ajivika, Akriyavada, Annihilationism, Atomism, and even the founders of Jainism Anekantavada.
As the Teacher of the Six Schools, Kavia did not analyze each of them individually, but rather allowed them to interact through the clash of debates.
The place where the Six Schools and their ninety-six disciples debated was arranged by Kavia; it was a place with five lotus flowers, seemingly the abode of eternal light.
Ocean of Milk.
Vishnu looked upon the world, which was surrounded by all kinds of evil, and said with a smile:
"The final dark age has arrived, and it's time for me to perform the final maintenance."
Upon hearing this, Lakshmi, standing nearby, couldn't help but say to Vishnu, who was smiling at her:
"My lord, this time you are upholding the Dharma, and the enemy you face is none other than Kavia..."
"Goddess."
Vishnu looked at Lakshmi, "So what? Kasyapa wouldn't do something without a reason. He did it because of you and me, because of all things."
Then Vishnu laughed again and continued.
"I understand your concerns, because you think this will cause discord between me and Jia, but there's no need to worry."
Whether it is Jia who wins, or the Ideal King, it will not affect my relationship with Jia.
"I, Brahma, the Great God, in the changing of ages, in the opportune time, enact the Divinity Lila of the Supreme Brahman."
"I cannot and should not remain uninvolved."
"But Kasyapa was different. He could have chosen to shine brightly and be remembered for generations, shattering the reputation he had once been praised by many Rishi and gods, making the Rishi who had praised him feel disgusted, and the Brahmin who had Faith him hate him. But it was precisely because 'we cannot stand aside' that he could become such 'darkness'."
Then, in the era when the land of Bharata was fragmented due to the Battle of Mahabharata, in the era of the decline of the Dharma, and in the era of the spread of the Six Schools, in the northeastern part of the war-torn India Age of Gods, near Magadha and Vaishali, there was Kingdom called Kapilavastu.
Kapilavastu was ruled by a Kshatriya king of the Shakya, King Suddhodana, a descendant of the Sun King Dynasty. He had two wives who were sisters, namely "Maha Maya" and "Maya".
One day, when the Maha Maya was pregnant, she had four kinds of dreams:
"First, one sees a six-tusked white elephant emerging from its womb. Second, one sees it soaring through the air. Third, one sees it ascending a high mountain. Fourth, one sees a large crowd bowing and surrounding it."
She reported this to King Suddhodana Brahmin, King Suddhodana then summoned some Brahmin fortune tellers to interpret the dream.
This is how the group answered:
"The one born at this time will become the supreme Warrior; without a doubt, he will be the king of kings!"
"Lady Wang will surely give birth to a son, possessing all thirty-two marks of a great man, and his body will be dignified. If he inherits the throne, he will ride a golden wheel, subjugating the four continents. He will be Wheel-Turning King, the supreme ruler of the Dharma!"
"He is coming, bringing endless joy; he is the Ideal King, the King of Dharma!"
While Maha Maya, she returned to her father's kingdom and suddenly felt a sharp pain as she walked in her father's garden.
In that instant, amidst the endless black clouds that shrouded the world, at the gathering place of the Six Schools, Kavia, as the master of the Six Schools Teacher of the Six Schools, looked up towards the northeast and softly spoke before them:
"He's coming, he's coming! The person who will change the world is about to be born."
"What are you looking at, our teacher?"
"The land of Bharata, Kapilavastu, Lumbini Garden, how beautiful! At dawn, all is Nirvana, everything seems so vivid..."
Before the Six Schools, Kavia smiled slowly, "The noble soul residing in the hearts of all beings, the Perfection King of Dharma, the Ideal King, the Wheel-Turning King, is none other than our enemy."
In that instant, all things rejoiced, light descended, and the Maha Maya stood beneath the Ashoka tree in Lumbini Garden, giving birth to the Ideal King—
Gautama Siddhartha.
Chapter 335 Please suffer with me.
The soft sunlight shone into the vast plain.
The air in the afternoon still seemed drowsy and hazy, and weeds grew rampant in the grass.
Under a large tree, Kavia was Meditation with her eyes closed.
The sound of cicadas began to rise, noisy, powerful, and buzzing, as if it wanted to fill the whole world.
Suddenly, someone rode up quickly on horseback, dismounted, and put his hands together in prayer as he spoke to the Meditation Kavia.
"Teacher, all is well."
Naturally, Kavia opened his eyes, but before he could speak, the green-haired youth continued excitedly.
"Teacher, I've discovered an unusual phenomenon in the human body: pressing a certain area can cause a person to fall into a coma."
"Yeah."
"Yes, mentor, you see."
The green-haired youth turned to look at his follower, reached out and pressed his hand against the follower's neck, and the follower immediately lost consciousness.
"... Doesn't my supervisor ask me what I did?"
Since Kavia did not show any surprise, the green-haired youth was instead somewhat at a loss.
"You fell into a coma at yesterday's Rajasuya because of this, right?"
Kavia's expression remained unchanged, but the green-haired youth's gaze wavered for a moment, and he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Because... you have to experience this yourself before you can tell others about it..."
As for Kavia, he naturally understood that the green-haired youth was touching the carotid sinus, the dilated part at the end of the common carotid artery and the beginning of the internal carotid artery, located at the upper edge of the laryngeal cartilage. It is a pressure receptor in the human body and has the function of regulating blood pressure. Pressing this point can excite the nerves, cause bradycardia, lower blood pressure, and lead to fainting. When fainting, one is calm and weak, which is the legendary 'fatal point'.
"Even so, will this prevent you from participating in the Rajasuya in time, allowing Devadatta to become the winner?"
Despite the situation that could put him in a position to compete for the throne, the green-haired youth seemed completely unconcerned, simply waving his hands dismissively.
"Teacher, you know I don't care about the throne or anything like that. Besides, Teacher, as long as I perfect this technique, I won't need to kill the enemy on the battlefield. I can just squeeze this part to make them unconscious and win by capturing them."
"Compassion is a good thing, Siddhartha."
The one who called Kavia his Teacher was none other than the Future Ideal King, Gautama Siddhartha.
In the past, seven days after Gautama was born, his mother passed away. At that moment, the Asita Rishi learned that King of Dharma had been born in this place, so he came to Kapilavastu King Suddhodana. At the same time, King Suddhodana also wanted to find a Teacher for his child, the Future Wheel-Turning King, and invited the Asita Rishi.
The Asita Rishi declined, citing his old age. Coincidentally, at that very moment, an avatar of Kavia arrived and, after demonstrating his understanding of the Dharma and his power, successfully persuaded King Suddhodana to appoint him as the Teacher of the young Gautama.
Asita couldn't tell that the visitor was Kavia, but he sensed that the other was a follower of the Lord of the Himalayas, just like himself, yet now he was among the evil 'Six Schools,' even plotting to become the Future King of Dharma. How could this not sadden him? But it was too late, so Asita could only leave in tears and return to the Himalayas Mountains to practice asceticism.
Everyone firmly believed that the Ideal King would sweep away all evil and restore the Dharma. Therefore, the Rishi and Divine Image this ordeal was also part of the 'Lila'. Moreover, for many years afterward, Kavia did not do anything evil to Gautama, but simply fulfilled his duties as a 'Teacher'.
"Seeking a path to peace amidst war is a good thing, but—"
Kavia looked into Gautama's eyes.
Those were sparkling eyes, pupils like the Sun, as if everything they saw and heard was joyful.
He stood up and stroked Gautama's head.
"Sometimes, such an outcome is hard to achieve. Long-lasting peace inevitably involves arduous deaths. And the reason he only fell into a coma is simply because you controlled your strength. If this were to spread, can you guarantee that anyone would be able to control themselves? Such a simple method of killing... However, I am glad that you have this idea, Siddhartha."
Although he didn't receive full approval from his Teacher, partial approval was enough for Gautama; having someone on his side was sufficient.
In fact, Siddhartha and his father, King Suddhodana, were already at odds at this point. Based on their personalities, King Suddhodana hoped that his son, Gautama, would be more ruthless so that he could become an invincible king, while Gautama was more peaceful.
For example, the day before the Rajasuya, at Twilight, Giordado was painting while looking at the scenery in the Royal Palace.
At that time, King Suddhodana saw Gautama painting, and he walked over with a frown.
Siddhartha.
Upon hearing this, Giordado quickly turned around and bowed.
"Why... why don't you summon me, Father?"
I thought you were learning martial arts.
King Suddhodana said irritably, lifting Gautama's fingers, which were smeared with red dye, "Yet you are... painting... Red is beautiful on Kshatriya's fingers, son, but this should be the blood of the enemy, not oil paint."
"Your teacher must have taught you the Bhagavad Gita."
"Yes, I've written it all down."
"Memorization alone is useless, son. Have you acted in accordance with the principles of the Kshatriya?"
"... I do not understand."
"Siddhartha, why do you reject Violence? You are the born king of kings, how can you do this to your deceased mother? Your attitude disheartens me; if you won't even kill a bird, how can you go to the battlefield to fight bravely!"
King Suddhodana said indifferently.
"Only the weak preach peace, but you are Kshatriya, and you must fulfill the responsibilities of Kshatriya. You are the Future king of the Shakya! To protect your Kingdom, you must charge into battle and fight countless battles."
"How long."
"What did you say?"
Gautama's statement surprised King Suddhodana.
How long will it take for the Kshatriya to stop their wars?
"Protection the king is their duty, son."
"Is war the only way?"
Giordado muttered softly, as if in defense, "Negotiation can also solve problems."
"Kshatriya must not speak the words of a coward, Siddhartha."
"Before that, I was a person, a father."
"You are a noble Kshatriya."
"Does it mean bravery to have people kill each other, to let innocent people die for pointless duties, and to leave the earth covered in blood? In the end, who will rule the country? The so-called noble and valiant Kshatriya who watched so many people die?"
"The one who wields Sword is the ruler."
King Suddhodana reached out and touched Gautama's shoulder. "I hope the sword is in your hand, son, for you are a valiant Wheel-Turning King. And do not forget that you are a descendant of Shakyamuni. Even if another great war breaks out, and only one person can survive in this world, it should be you, Siddhartha, only you."
"Father, I understand the teachings of the Brahmajala."
Faced with his father's 'love,' the child could only reply in a low voice, "But even today, I still don't understand the meaning of Krishna's manifestation of the Universe Aspect on the day of his death."
"This is something the Brahmin, your Teacher, explained. In any case, you must be first at tomorrow's Rajasuya. Don't let Devadatta accumulate any more prestige, okay, my son?"
Devadatta and Gautama were cousins. Gautama was the only son of King Suddhodana, while Devadatta was the son of King Suddhodana's brother. In other words, Devadatta was also eligible to inherit the throne. That's why King Suddhodana wanted Gautama to demonstrate more power to show his prestige.
However, on the day of the Rajasuya, Gautama tested the 'weak point' on himself, which led to Devadatta becoming the champion of the contest.
For the sake of his child, King Suddhodana still allowed Gautama to ride in the crown Crown Prince's Chariot at the subsequent ceremony, while Devadatta rode a horse.
