"Rahu, since you have drunk the Amrita, you shall remain in the Heavenly Realm."

"Rahu, you are left with only a head and a tail. Thus, the head shall be called Rahu, and the tail shall be named Ketu. You may both become star gods."

Vishnu smiled.

Swish!

The light dissipated, and the Guardian God vanished.

Upon hearing this, Indra stood in the divine hall, his gaze piercing through the Heavenly Realm, looking down upon the boundless mortal realm.

He saw that at the boundary between the mortal realm and the Heavenly Realm, in the middle section of Mount Mandara, countless stars revolved around the sun and moon. Among them, two dark stars surged with divine power, emitting a faint glow.

Rahu! Ketu!

Two of the Nine Luminaries!

Indra had already prepared himself for this.

After all, dealing with Rahu involved only three options: invite him, behead him, or take him in as a subordinate.

Rahu was not worthy of being invited by the Guardian God; beheading him was also unnecessary since Rahu had already drunk the Amrita, and the Guardian God did not wish to break the rules. Taking him in as a subordinate was the best course of action.

A general amnesty!

Indra waved his hand.

The lightning ropes instantly disintegrated and vanished into nothingness.

"We are all Heavenly Gods from now on!"

He approached with a smile.

Rahu was still somewhat dazed.

He had become a Heavenly God just like that?

Did this mean he would be fighting alongside the Heavenly Gods against the Asuras from now on?

No!

But what if the Asura army attacked the Heavenly Realm, and he was also attacked by the Asuras?

Rahu's gaze was vacant, his mind a chaotic mess.

But when he saw Indra opening his arms and walking towards him, his face instantly stiffened. It turned pale and bloodless, his terror evident.

"Yikes!"

Rahu exclaimed.

His head spun, and he flew upwards. Without even looking, he slammed into a giant pillar of the divine hall. Ketu, his tail, also thrashed wildly with his head, smacking against it.

Head and tail slid down the pillar.

Indra lowered his head, hands on his hips, looking at Rahu with a helpless expression.

Was he that terrifying?

"He-Devraj!"

Rahu, gathering his courage, panted heavily, his voice trembling.

"Yes!"

Indra nodded.

"The Heavenly Realm is quite vast. Since you've just arrived, you might not be familiar with it. Who will show him around!"

Indra glanced around and asked.

Upon hearing this, Surya, the Sun God, let out a light chuckle.

He understood!

It was just a matter of keeping an eye on this Asura!

"I will!"

Surya, the Sun God, said coldly.

"I will too!"

The Moon God Soma said with displeasure, his voice deep.

He had thought the goddess Yamuna was giving him a hint, but it turned out to be this Asura. How detestable.

"???"

Indra was silent for a moment.

These two seemed to be in a bad mood.

"I meant to show him around the Heavenly Realm, literally!"

Indra said.

"It's just to get familiar with the Heavenly Realm!"

The Sun God and the Moon God spoke at the same time.

"Really?"

"Really!"

The two affirmed repeatedly.

"Then are you going?"

Indra turned his head to look at Rahu.

"Going! I'm going!"

Rahu's face was filled with panic, his head suddenly flew up, shaking its head repeatedly in the air.

He didn't want to be with the Devraj at all right now. Just seeing Indra made him feel his body being eroded by Halahala, and the feeling of losing power would well up from the depths of his heart.

Thinking back now, he still felt a chill on the back of his head.

"Then you all go!"

Indra said.

Upon hearing this, the Sun God and the Moon God led the way, Rahu quickly followed, turning his head and flying away. Ketu, like a tail, wagged wildly, following behind.

"It's really suitable to tie a rope~"

Indra couldn't help but chuckle, thinking of walking a dog.

Beside them, Goddess Yamuna, holding up her skirt, ran with small, hurried steps towards Yama, and said softly, "Husband..."

As soon as she spoke, Yama's blue face darkened again.

With a somber expression, he didn't even look at Yamuna, but walked directly to Indra, clasped his hands together, and said slowly.

"Devraj!"

"Golden-Eyed has caused destruction in the mortal realm, and my Yama City has also been affected and needs repairs. I hope the Devraj can dispatch a craftsman god to help me." Yama's expression calmed down as he discussed.

Yama City was not in the underworld, but beneath the mortal realm.

Its specific location was deep underground, eighty-six thousand yojanas beneath Jambudvipa.

Indra was slightly taken aback.

He had previously considered asking the craftsman god Vishwakarma to build a secret realm to store Amrita, but now that Yama City also needed repairs, he was no longer in a hurry.

"No problem, you can go find him!"

"By the way, isn't the craftsman god Vishwakarma your maternal grandfather? Why don't you just talk to him directly?"

Indra asked.

"I believe that the proper procedures should still be followed!"

"Besides, he and I don't have a good relationship!"

Yama's expression was serious.

It was Vishwakarma who had pointed at his mother's belly years ago, saying that the twins within would become husband and wife, which was why he didn't think highly of this maternal grandfather.

If it weren't for Yama City needing repairs, he wouldn't have asked the craftsman god Vishwakarma.

"What a complicated family relationship!"

Indra lamented inwardly.

The Underworld.

In a garden within a palace.

Vajra Body knelt with his knees bent, sitting cross-legged on the grass. He hunched over, resting his elbows on his knees and propping his chin with one hand, a look of melancholy on his face.

Beside him, the plants bloomed, and a strong, magnificent white horse was lowering its head to graze.

This white horse was the divine horse Uchchaihshravas, churned from the Ocean of Milk.

"Golden-Eyed Big Brother actually died. The gods have the Trimurti to help them, and now they have Amrita. We can't possibly be their opponents."

"I'm afraid we'll have to fight again when Golden Bed comes out!"

"Sigh!"

Vajra Body sighed deeply, his mood restless, and he couldn't help but run his hands through his hair.

Golden-Eyed and Golden Bed were twin brothers.

Golden-Eyed was arrogant, while Golden Bed was extremely stubborn.

If Golden Bed finished his Tapasya and learned that his elder brother had died, killed by the gods and Vishnu, he would definitely lead the Asura army to attack the Heavenly Realm, and might even order everyone to refrain from praising Vishnu.

But could they really defeat the Trimurti?

If so!

"Gao Er, oh Gao Er, what should I do?"

Vajra Body turned to look at White Horse Uchchaihshravas, and couldn't help but run his hands through his hair.

White Horse Uchchaihshravas glanced at Vajra Body, ignored him, and simply held its head high proudly, mane flowing, unhurriedly chewing on the grass.

"Gao Er!"

"How about this, if you don't make a sound next, I'll go into Tapasya."

Vajra Body said thoughtfully.

White Horse Uchchaihshravas remained proudly standing, its hooves tapping slightly, completely ignoring Vajra Body and continuing to eat grass.

Not a single neigh was heard!

Haha!

Vajra Body couldn't help but chuckle.

At this moment, an Asura warrior flickered and suddenly appeared in the garden, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head to report.

"General, King Danava has sent an envoy to invite you to the Asura Temple to discuss the important matter of avenging the king!"

"King Danava Prahlad? Why him? Where is the mentor?"

"Yes, General, the envoy was indeed sent by King Danava. The mentor's whereabouts are currently unknown, but someone saw the mentor with the former king's two princes."

"Hmm?!"

Vajra Body frowned.

He rubbed his rough chin, and a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Tell Prahlad that I am preparing for Tapasya and will not be going!"

Vajra Body said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The Asura warrior vanished.

Vajra Body's heart tightened, a look of indescribable emotion appearing on his face.

"Mentor, did you go looking for the Golden Bed?"

His eyes shot out a brilliant light!
