The Goddess's Dance, The Division of Amrita!

"The Four Great Continents!"

Indra murmured.

These four continents surrounding Mandara Mountain reminded him of the Four Great Continents.

Beside him, Surya, the Sun God, nodded in approval.

"Indeed, they are four lands, the Four Great Continents."

"Look at the land south of Mandara Mountain. My son Yama's Yama City is located there. Protected by the guardian of Yama City, this land has been preserved, and the Jambudvipa Trees are most abundant. Why don't we call it [Jambudvipa]!"

Surya smiled with satisfaction as he thought of his son.

Jambu, meaning Jambudvipa Tree.

'Dipa' is an abbreviation of the Sanskrit 'Dvipavara', meaning continent.

Upon hearing this, Agni, the Fire God, turned his gaze towards the great continent to the east. "This great continent was originally inhabited by Yakshas, full of spiritual energy. Why don't we call it [Purvavideha]?"

Pūrva, meaning the spiritual land of the East.

"The great land to the north once had a Kurukshetra. We've expanded it even further now, so why don't we just call it [Uttarakuru]?"

Vayu, the Wind God, said.

Hearing this, Indra's eyelids twitched.

Kurukshetra!

Wasn't this the place where the Pandavas and Kauravas fought in the Mahabharata?!

Over a billion people died in that great battle!

Hiss

"So we were the ones who created this great battlefield!"

Indra was shocked.

Then, the Priest Sage pointed to the west and said, "Devraj, this is where you once defeated the drought demon and saved the cloud cattle. Now there are many ordinary cattle there, traded by mortals. Why don't we call it [Godaniya]?"

Godaniya!

Goda (qu, second tone), meaning cattle.

Niya, meaning to give and take, also exchange.

In a short time, the Four Great Continents were named by them.

Purvavideha, Godaniya, Jambudvipa, and Uttarakuru.

The gods were very pleased with these names.

At this moment, the beautiful face of [Earth Goddess Shemi] bloomed with joy. She smiled faintly and looked gratefully at Indra, clasping her hands together.

"Devraj, thank you for your help!"

Shemi's eyes shone with reverence.

"Hahaha! You're welcome!"

Indra waved his hand.

He enjoyed being revered by a goddess!

"Please allow me to dance for you~" Shemi clasped her hands, her eyes sparkling.

The dance of the Earth Goddess!

This was a rare sight!

Indra's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Earth Goddess Shemi slowly turned, her golden-red skirt swirling like a peacock's tail. Rhythmic music emanated from the earth.

The mountains, land, and forests on the earth now played bright and free melodies.

Her body was full of vitality, her slender waist swaying with primal beauty. Her long arms were like a swan's neck, looking left and right. Her steps were like flying, like leaping, and like a free peacock.

The Earth Goddess Shemi's hands danced beside her cheeks, and her gaze, tinged with desire, fell upon Indra.

Indra's eyes narrowed, shining brightly.

A drop of sweat formed without him realizing it.

This drop of sweat was crystal clear, like the endless firmament, with faint blue lightning flickering within it.

Swish!

The clear sweat slid from Indra's fingertips, like heavenly rain falling from the clouds, crossing the sky, and dripping onto the Earth Goddess's dancing arm with the breeze.

Drip!

The sweat silently disappeared, merging into Goddess Shemi's body.

In an instant, Shemi's dance stopped abruptly. She shivered violently, and a strange sensation surged from her lower abdomen.

She paused in confusion.

Strange!

Why did she suddenly shiver?!

Clap, clap, clap!

A round of applause broke out.

Indra's eyes flickered, and he led the gods in applause.

"This looks like the Raiharoba dance created by Mahadeva for the Mother Goddess," the Priest Sage said from the side, proudly displaying his erudition.

"Yes, this is indeed the dance created by Mahadeva for the Mother Goddess Parvati," the Earth Goddess Shemi nodded slightly and chuckled.

"You danced beautifully, but it's a shame it was too short."

"Shemi, why did you stop so soon?" Indra asked regretfully and with confusion.

She danced too fast! He still wanted to watch more! Men shouldn't be too fast, but women shouldn't be too fast either!

Hearing this, Shemi was stunned, her cheeks flushing slightly. She recalled the scene just now. She was merely dancing for the Devraj, and without realizing it, she had shivered. She didn't know what was going on.

"I, I don't know either!" Shemi whispered.

At this moment, Vayu, the Wind God, suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed, "Devraj, the Asuras have been repelled from the Ocean of Milk. Let's hurry over; it's time for us gods of the Heavenly Realm to enjoy the Amrita!"

Indra snapped back to reality, a look of realization on his face.

"Right!"

"That's it!"

Indra nodded, then frowned in thought. "However, the Ocean of Milk is not safe. Those Asuras might come back after their retreat. It's better to return to the Heavenly Realm and let the gods share the Amrita there." He still remembered that Rahu was hiding among the gods. It was better to return to the Heavenly Realm now, whether Rahu had returned to the mortal realm or not, and the Amrita would be safer.

"That makes sense!"

"I agree!"

With a few words from the gods, the decision to return to the Heavenly Realm to share the Amrita was made.

"Shemi, let's go to the Heavenly Realm. This is the glory of the gods, and you have a share of the Amrita!" Indra said.

"Mhm!" Shemi nodded in surprise and delight.

Vayu, the Wind God, as the vanguard of the gods, went to the Ocean of Milk to lead the many Gandharvas back. The rest of the gods followed Indra back to the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Realm was vast, with boundless seas of clouds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mighty Gandharva army returned one after another.

Indra stood on a high place, hands on his hips, looking down at the scene. The Gandharvas were not many in number now, only a million. But after drinking the Amrita, they, being immortal, would have more and more descendants, and billions of heavenly gods would be nothing. As for the Asuras, once Sukra, the ascetic, cultivated and obtained the "Sanjivani Mantra" that could resurrect, the number of Asuras would also increase.

Indra tilted his head and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Good heavens! The reasons for the rapid increase in the number of heavenly gods and Asuras have been found! Amrita and the Sanjivani Mantra might be the biggest reasons.

"Our Heavenly Realm army is back. With the Amrita, from now on, my son Yama will never find any heavenly god, and death will stay away from the Heavenly Realm," Surya, the Sun God, said with bright eyes and a smile.

"That's right!"

"This is a great battle of the gods. With Amrita, these mere Asuras are no longer worthy of being enemies with the gods."

The Moon God Soma also smiled with delight.

The Wind God Vayu nodded and said, "The Asuras are no longer our opponents!"

The Fire God Agni and the Water God Varuna also looked in agreement.

Amrita!

This is Amrita!

"Devraj, why aren't you smiling on such a celebratory occasion?"

Agni turned his head with a smile and asked.

Indra raised his hand to his mouth, turned his head to the side, and couldn't hold it in, bursting into laughter.

How could he laugh at this moment? He could only laugh at Surya and the others for celebrating too early.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Let's quickly share the Amrita with the warriors!"
