Two streaks of white light flew out from the Ocean of Milk in succession, skimming across the vast sea before crashing into each other.
Bang!
As the two streaks of white light collided, a tremendous shockwave spread outward, and the viscous Ocean of Milk rippled like jelly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"What are those two?"
"Wait, I think I can see them!"
"There's a horse! A white horse!"
"And an elephant, a white elephant!"
This scene immediately drew the attention of the gods and Asuras. Before everyone's eyes, the white light gradually dispersed, revealing two enormous beasts as tall as mountains crashing into each other.
Neigh!!!
Trumpet!!!
The white horse whinnied with its mane flying, while the white elephant trumpeted with its trunk raised.
The two crashed together again. The snow-white horse head wrestled against the elephant's trunk, shaking the surroundings and sending the Ocean of Milk into ceaseless waves.
Since Airavata had appeared!
Then this white horse had to be the king of horses—Gao Er!
Indra's heart stirred.
"Airavata!"
He stepped forward twice and could not help calling out.
At that moment, upon hearing Indra's call, Airavata, the six-tusked white elephant, shook his head and swayed his enormous fan-like ears. Like an Ultraman hearing a child shout "You can do it!", he was instantly encouraged.
Trumpet!
Airavata lowered his head, then suddenly pried upward with his six tusks, instantly lifting the white horse into the air.
His massive body reared up, and his two elephant legs came crashing down onto the white horse's head.
Boom!
The white horse was sent flying toward the Asura army.
"Hm? Hahahaha!"
Golden-Eyed Asura laughed loudly. His knees bent slightly, and he shot out in an instant, charging toward the incoming white horse.
A white horse!
He would make sure it never returned!
He wanted to tame this white horse.
The white horse, Gao Er, was clearly extremely violent. He let out a long neigh, like a shooting star from the heavens, and slammed toward Golden-Eyed Asura.
Boom!
Golden-Eyed's strength was enough to lift the earth.
White Horse Gao Er was immediately overpowered. Golden-Eyed locked onto his neck, then twisted sideways and threw him.
Boom!
White Horse Gao Er continued to whinny as he crashed into the mass of Asuras.
For a time, cries of pain rang through the Asura army. Countless Asuras were sent flying by White Horse Gao Er and fell onto the Ocean of Milk.
Hm?!
He had not thrown him in that direction just now. How had he smashed into the army?
He had been a little unlucky lately!
Amid his confusion, White Horse Gao Er let out a long neigh, sprang to his feet, and, like a crazed king of horses, stomped wildly through the Asura army with all four hooves.
Golden-Eyed snorted coldly, glaring angrily at the white horse before charging at him again.
"Airavata!"
"You're here!"
Indra smiled and raised his right hand, holding up his fist.
Trumpet!!!
Airavata, the six-tusked white elephant, gave a long cry. His bright, watery eyes blinked as he happily shook his head, extending his long trunk to lightly tap Indra's fist.
Indra nodded, feeling deeply moved.
His little elephant had finally returned!
Indra glanced around, crooked a finger, and whispered.
"Come here!"
The next moment, Airavata nodded. He stepped forward on his elephant feet and, understanding Indra's intent, moved close to him. His enormous fan-like ears folded over, concealing Indra's figure.
The secret meeting began!
"Cough! Cough!"
"The Ocean of Milk will be dangerous later. The two of us shouldn't get too close."
Indra whispered.
Airavata nodded, his eyes shifting with an expression that said he understood completely.
"Alright!"
Indra patted Airavata's head, took two steps back, and turned to look toward the Ocean of Milk.
With both hands on his hips, he let out a long breath, feeling thoroughly refreshed.
As long as he obtained Amrita, he could devote himself to arduous cultivation without worry. He had no desire to get involved in dangerous matters like fighting the Asuras in the future.
"Heh! Only an idiot would want to be the King of Heaven!"
Indra was in high spirits.
Boom!
Rumble!
Suddenly, violent tremors erupted from the Ocean of Milk.
Indra looked into the distance and saw Golden-Eyed wrestling White Horse Gao Er, repeatedly slamming him to the ground. The white horse kept landing among the Asura army as if he had automatic tracking, and many Asuras were caught in the aftermath, letting out cries of pain.
Indra had no comment on that.
He could not help clicking his tongue.
Mares were already hard enough to tame, let alone stallions. And that was a stallion among stallions—the king of horses, Gao Er.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time.
Golden-Eyed emerged from the Asura army with a gloomy face, striding forward coldly.
Behind him, White Horse Gao Er was tightly bound hand and foot.
"This white horse truly is extraordinary!"
"Vajra Body, take the white horse and return to the Netherworld immediately."
Golden-Eyed said unhappily, frowning.
This white horse was simply mad. He bit Golden-Eyed whenever he saw him.
If Golden-Eyed had not been so powerful, it truly would have been difficult to tame him.
Besides, leaving the white horse in the army would likely injure even more Asuras. It was better to send him back to the Netherworld as soon as possible.
Golden-Eyed paused briefly before continuing.
"I have a feeling misfortune has been clinging to me lately. The temple of Yashoda Goddess should have been completed after all these decades. She is connected to wealth and luck, so after you return, go offer sacrifices to her."
Golden-Eyed instructed.
"Yes!"
Vajra Body nodded and immediately replied.
Golden-Eyed let out a breath of relief. He turned to look toward the god army and could not help clenching his fists.
"Continue!"
Golden-Eyed Asura King shouted.
Indra's eyes flashed with sharp light. His expression turned solemn as he grabbed the snake's tail and blended into the crowd of Gandharvas.
Next, only the Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree, Halahala, and Amrita remained in the Ocean of Milk!
The white horse and white elephant had emerged together!
The two had appeared at the same time!
Halahala and Amrita were also twins.
Then the Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree should be next.
The Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree belonged to the gods and was brought to Sudarshana City in the Heavenly Realm.
Legend had it that as long as one prayed devoutly beneath the tree, one could fulfill a pure wish in accordance with Dharma. Shiva's wife, Parvati, had once wished to the divine tree for a daughter, and Anupama was born as a result.
"The Asuras will definitely try to seize the Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree!"
"Fortunately, my divine armor is about to be completed as well."
Indra's gaze was solemn as he hugged Shesha's long tail, pressing his arms against the snake scales and beginning to pull.
Airavata also helped beside him, extending his trunk to coil around the snake's body and tugging with all his might.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The body of Thousand-headed Serpent King Shesha was pulled from side to side.
Mandara Mountain slowly rotated, rumbling loudly as though the earth itself were trembling.
Years passed one after another. Indra felt the Power of Arduous Cultivation within him grow ever more complete, bursting and radiating through his body like lightning, flashing with arcs of electric light.
His arduous cultivation finally neared completion.
Boom!
The sound of thunder exploded within his mind.
Indra's thoughts stirred. He emerged from his arduous cultivation and abruptly lowered his head.
Whoosh!
Faint golden light emerged, and Surya's figure suddenly appeared within it. The Golden Solar God Armor then became visibly brighter.
The first layer of divine armor was complete!
"What power should I give this layer of divine armor?"
Indra fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile.
Vishnu's eyes suddenly opened. He returned from meditation, lowered his gaze, and stared at the churning Ocean of Milk below.
"Husband, what is it?"
Goddess Lakshmi's beautiful eyes flickered as she asked from beside him.
"In my meditation, I saw a glimpse of the future. What appears next is..."
"The Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree!"
Vishnu said slowly.
"This Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree will be connected to Shiva in the future. We cannot let the Asuras obtain it!"
