Vishnu's gaze looked down.

Within the Ocean of Milk, Mandara Mountain spun faster and faster.

Billowing flames burned, and heavenly fire fell into the sea. Instead of sinking, it floated on the surface like dust clinging to cream, bobbing up and down with the waves.

The Ocean of Milk churned!

Sticky! Gooey!

All of this signaled that treasures would soon be born from the Ocean of Milk.

Churning successful!

"It's coming out!"

Golden-Eyed looked up, his gaze slightly focused on the area below Mandara Mountain, a thought rising in his mind.

Whoosh!

A beam of golden treasure light shot out from the Ocean of Milk, instantly soaring into the sky. The light bloomed, transforming into a towering treasure tree. The tree was verdant and bright, its branches and leaves adorned with pearls, agates, and gems, and countless beautiful divine garments hung from them.

It was filled with iridescent radiance, illuminating all directions.

The Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree!

This tree was also known as the Kalpa Tree. One kalpa was a period of one thousand divine eras, or four billion two hundred million years, and only one such tree appeared in that time.

The Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree could produce anything needed according to the season.

Furthermore, after sincere prayer, it could even grant wishes that were in accordance with righteousness.

"What a magnificent divine tree. This tree rightfully belongs in the Heavenly Realm; only we gods are worthy of possessing it."

Surya, the Sun God, stepped forward.

He stood sideways, a hint of a smile crossing his radiant face.

He could already imagine his heroic and brilliant figure standing beneath the Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree, being the most dazzling among all the gods.

"That's right!"

Moon God Soma nodded as well.

"I'll go get it!"

Vayu, the Wind God, volunteered. His speed was the fastest among the gods. As soon as he spoke, he had already shot into the sky, flying beside the Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree.

"Divine Tree!"

Vayu's eyes widened as the divine tree's radiance grew brighter. Excitedly, he reached out a hand towards it.

"It's mine!"

Golden-Eyed roared, leaping forward. He braced himself and, with a shoulder slam akin to an iron mountain, crashed into Vayu.

Boom!

At that moment, the scene was like a speeding truck colliding with a wheelchair. Vayu tumbled, sent flying like a fiery wheel towards the Gandharvas.

"Wind God!!!"

Surya and the other gods cried out in alarm.

Indra couldn't help but take a step forward, looking at the scene in surprise.

So fast!

This Golden-Eyed Asura not only possessed superior strength but was also faster than the Wind God.

While Indra was surprised, Vayu was already falling towards them. His eyelids twitched, and he raised his hand, unleashing a wide net of electricity that enveloped the surroundings with a crackle.

Bang!!!

Vayu landed abruptly, caught in the net of divine lightning power. A humming sound emanated as the lightning shot out, writhing like dragons and snakes.

Not good!

The lightning was too strong; I didn't control it properly!

Indra quickly dispelled the electric net and peered down, only to see Vayu lying on the Ocean of Milk, convulsing, trembling intermittently.

"Vayu, are you alright!"

Indra immediately stepped forward, helped him up, and placed his palm on Vayu's chest. Lightning danced wildly as he retracted the berserk divine lightning power.

"Vayu! Vayu!!!"

The other gods also rushed forward anxiously.

Fortunately, Vayu's Divine Body was strong, and he could recover from such injuries in an instant.

Under many gazes.

Vayu, clutching his chest, slowly stood up, his expression filled with a deep sense of grievance.

"Devraj, I admit you are still a bit stronger. Compared to him, you hit harder!"

Vayu couldn't help but say.

With that, he couldn't help but glance at Indra again, swallowed, and turned to look at Golden-Eyed in the distance.

"Devraj, what do we do now?"

"This divine tree is about to fall into Golden-Eyed's hands!"

Vayu said nervously.

The other gods also felt a tightening in their hearts, all looking at Indra, ready to hear his thoughts.

Indra gazed at Golden-Eyed from afar, then raised three fingers to the gods.

"I have three steps!"

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Indra said in a deep voice.

"Firstly, Golden-Eyed is too strong, we can't defeat him, so it's better to retreat. Secondly, this divine tree is extraordinary, containing great wisdom. The Asuras definitely won't have the ability to unravel its mysteries, so what if we let them have it?"

"Thirdly..."

Indra blinked, forcing a calm smile onto his face.

Fine!

He hadn't thought of a third point yet.

"I believe you all understand!"

Indra said.

The gods exchanged confused glances.

What did the Devraj mean by this? What was the third point?

Surya frowned slightly. He looked at the bewildered gods beside him and thought, I am the most important god after the Devraj. If the Devraj says this, and all the other gods understand but I don't, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

As the thought arose, clarity dawned.

Surya, with a mysterious smile, slowly nodded. He held his head high and chest out, looking at the other gods with an arrogant air.

"I understand!"

Surya declared.

"Ah?"

"Understand what?"

Agni asked doubtfully.

Surya smiled and remained silent.

Agni looked back at Indra, who also smiled and said nothing.

Agni froze on the spot, his face flushing with embarrassment.

He narrowed his eyes, his pupils darting nervously.

No!

"The three of us are the Fire Brothers. Indra, the fire of the void; Surya, the fire of the heavens; and I, Agni, the fire of the earth, are all renowned."

"If they both understand and I don't, I'll seem like a complete fool!"

Agni thought to himself.

The next moment, he clapped his hands together with a loud snap, laughing heartily, "I understand!"

"Oh my! I understand!"

"I understand! I understand too! The Devraj's plan is truly meticulous!"

Varuna and Vayu chimed in.

Moon God Soma looked utterly confused.

What on earth do these guys understand?!

In his confusion, Vayu, Surya, Agni, and Varuna all turned their heads. Their eyes, like twinkling stars, blinked as they seemed to wait for Soma to speak.

"Soma, what do you think?!"

Surya asked.

Soma paused for a moment, then put on airs and looked around. Since all the gods understood, he couldn't fall behind.

"It makes sense, the Devraj's three points are very reasonable!"

Soma nodded emphatically.

Indra: "???"

What the heck, what did they come up with?

Indra was inwardly startled. His gaze swept over the gods who seemed to have everything figured out, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

They're so confident!

It really seemed like he had thought of something!

Above the Ocean of Milk.

The green shade of the Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree fell upon Golden-Eyed's mighty form. A fierce wind raged across the Ocean of Milk, blowing through the divine tree and stirring up a faint, fragrant breeze that refreshed Golden-Eyed's spirit.

He gazed into the distance at the many celestial gods gathered among the Gandharvas in the rear, and couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh heartily.

"Hahaha! A bunch of weak and cowardly celestial gods!"

"I, Golden-Eyed, am destined to be the lord of the Three Realms!"

Golden-Eyed let out a great laugh, his colossal hand, which blotted out the sun and obscured the sky, slammed down, grabbing the Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree.

"This treasure is mine! Hahaha!"

Golden-Eyed was overjoyed and couldn't help but cup the divine tree in his hands, examining it closely.

Within the tree's shadow, a golden, radiant figure appeared, offering him a faint smile before the tree instantly vanished.

"Golden-Eyed, I believe this tree is fated to be with the celestial gods!"

Vishnu stood before Golden-Eyed, holding the divine tree, and said with a smile.
