Garuda!

The mount of the Supreme Lord Vishnu!

Just a few hundred years ago, Garuda went to the Heavenly Realm to find Indra. However, he offended the Devraj and was cursed, unable to see the Supreme Lord Vishnu again.

Narada actually knew about this.

Narada was drenched in sweat.

Indra smiled.

"Cursing others is really not good!"

"I don't like it!"

"But you can ask for blessings; blessings are more versatile!"

"Making the Supreme Lord specifically forget someone should also be good!"

Speaking of which, Indra leaned into Narada's ear and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "Narada, you wouldn't want the Supreme Lord to forget you, would you~"

Narada's expression changed.

His smile froze on his face, neither smiling nor crying.

This is trouble!

"Uh..."

"It is our solemn responsibility as sages to help the gods resist the Asuras, maintain world peace, and spread the righteous dharma of the universe!"

"Of course, I must join!"

Narada forced a smile and replied.

Upon hearing this, Indra nodded.

"Good!"

"Agni, the God of Fire!"

"You will lead a hundred thousand troops, with Narada assisting, to the human realm to resist the Asura invasion and suppress the Golden Bed!"

Indra said.

"Yes!"

Agni, the God of Fire, was full of high spirits.

Indra then looked at Vayu, the God of Wind, who was equally excited.

"Vayu, you will be the vanguard!"

"Yes!"

Vayu immediately replied.

"Surya and Varuna, you will hold the line in front of the army!"

"Yes!"

Two voices immediately responded.

Hearing this, Indra was very satisfied with his arrangements.

"I will await your good news in the Heavenly Realm. I believe you will achieve victory and defeat the Golden Bed!"

Indra waved his hand and said.

"Good!"

"As soon as the Heavenly Realm army arrives, we will surely achieve victory!"

Surya, the Sun God, laughed heartily.

The other three gods were also full of confidence.

Their hundred thousand troops possessed the power of Amrita, the power of immortality, so the mere Asuras would be easily dealt with.

Soon, the four gods, along with Narada who wore a wry smile, set off together. They summoned a hundred thousand Gandharva heavenly troops and began to march majestically from the Heavenly Realm towards the human realm.

After these gods departed, Indra's expression changed.

His eyes darted around, and he turned, rushing through the small grove in this forest.

"Someone, have everyone who is not part of the army pack their belongings, and those outside Sudarshana City should return to Sudarshana City!"

Indra ordered in the Devraj's Divine Hall.

The Gandharvas and celestial maidens present were confused, but they still obeyed Indra's command and began summoning the miscellaneous Gandharvas and celestial maidens back to Sudarshana City.

"Devraj, what are you doing?"

At this moment, the Priest Sage hurried to the Devraj's Divine Hall.

He looked at the busy celestial maidens around him with confusion, frowning as he looked at the Devraj strangely.

"Mentor!"

"This Golden Bed's power is no ordinary thing. I don't think we can win this battle, so I'm making preparations in advance."

Indra raised his hand to his mouth, cleared his throat, and said.

"Why?"

"Vayu is brave and skilled in battle, Varuna is calm and collected, Agni is fierce, and Surya is powerful. They all drank the Amrita, and their strength has greatly increased. Not to mention Narada."

The Priest Sage looked confused.

Vayu, Varuna, Agni, and Surya were all his good disciples.

The Devraj Indra was silent for a moment.

What the Priest Sage said made a lot of sense.

It's just that...

These four gods were practically the Heavenly Realm's F4 of getting beaten.

Every time the Asuras finished their Tapasya and gained blessings, these four became their stepping stones.

Of course, it wasn't just the four of them. If it were only four, the significance wouldn't be enough. It would be like the Four Heavenly Kings having five members. The fifth "beaten" king would be him—the Devraj Indra.

"It's just making plans early, leaving a fallback route in case of defeat!"

Indra said with a smile.

"Oh?"

"Then where were you planning to go?"

The Priest Sage blinked his eyes, curious.

"I thought for a long time and finally prepared four routes: south, north, east, and west!"

Indra extended his right hand, pressing his thumb to his palm, revealing his four fingers.

"Going south, to Yama City beneath Jambudvipa. But Yama City's location is too obvious, not ideal."

"Going north, to Kailasa to find Mahadeva. But the Heavenly Realm is vast and has many affairs. If we moved our Sudarshana City there, I feel it would disturb Mahadeva and the Mistress's private space and affect their marital relationship, so let's forget it."

Indra shook his head and sighed.

The Priest Sage was stunned.

"Wait, you said move Sudarshana City?"

The Priest Sage asked.

"Of course. How could we abandon such a large place!"

Indra nodded as if it were obvious.

"So going east, we could go to the Ocean of Milk to find Supreme Lord Vishnu. But that would require crossing the spatial boundaries of the underworld, which is dangerous and not worth it."

"It's best to go west to the Brahma Realm. The place is large and spacious, and we can come and go freely."

Indra nodded, stroking his chin as if it were obvious.

At this moment, the Priest Sage was bewildered.

Various thoughts swirled in his mind.

The Ocean of Milk and the Brahma Realm were not in the east or west directions. How could he say "going east" and "going west"?

The Priest Sage quickly shook his head, trying to clear these thoughts.

"Cough! Cough!"

"I think we shouldn't rush. Our chances of winning are still quite high!"

"Let's first see how things are going with the gods!"

As the Priest Sage spoke, he waved his hand, and a smooth mirror of light condensed and appeared before Indra and himself.

Shing!

Kailasa.

Mahadeva Shiva sat upon a large rock, one foot on the ground, the other resting on his knee.

He nodded slightly, closed his eyes with a smile, and entered meditation.

The divine bull Nandi clasped his hands together, looking at his Supreme Lord with reverence and admiration.

"The Supreme Lord is smiling. He must have encountered something happy."

The moment Nandi thought this.

His long ears twitched with joy, and he couldn't help but curve his lips, revealing a happy smile.

Above the Ocean of Milk.

Vaikuntha.

Vishnu let out a long sigh, his face still wearing a serene smile, though it was more joyful than usual.

He gently turned his head, continuing to look at his wife, Goddess Lakshmi.

The Brahma Realm.

Brahma was also observing the movements of the Three Realms.

Upon hearing Indra's plan, his expression couldn't help but stiffen, deep thought evident on his face.

No way, right?

If that guy actually loses to the Golden Bed, he's not actually going to move here, is he?!

It's all the blessings' fault!

"Husband, why does your face look so troubled~"

Goddess Saraswati asked with a smile, her fingers pausing on the veena she was playing. The beautiful celestial melody came to an abrupt halt as she looked curiously at Brahma beside her.

Brahma's beard twitched, and his eyes darted to the side.

"Saraswati, my wife!"

"Do you mind if our Brahma Realm gets a few more people?"

Brahma asked softly.

"A few more people?"

Goddess Saraswati looked puzzled.

"Not many, just a few hundred thousand."

Brahma explained patiently.

"???"

Goddess Saraswati's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she tilted her head, a string of question marks appearing above her.
