Meanwhile, in the Human Realm.

The waters near Jambudvipa.

The Fire God Agni, riding a golden-horned ram and leading a vast army, gathered in the human world. The mighty Gandharva army, clad in golden armor and wielding divine weapons, their dazzling golden armor blinding the sun and obscuring the sky.

"Aruna, let us transform into the dawn and illuminate the path ahead!"

The Sun God Surya, clad in golden armor, stood atop his sun chariot, his hand gesturing forward.

Seven divine horses neighed, their hooves kicking up dust.

The turbulent reins were held tightly in the hands of the legless youth [Aruna] driving the chariot.

The God of Dawn [Aruna].

He was Garuda's elder brother, the God of Dawn, and the charioteer of the Sun God Surya's sun chariot.

"The newborn Eastern dawn, shatter the darkness!"

"Dawn!!!"

The God of Dawn [Aruna] gripped the reins and let out a mighty roar. He drove the divine chariot, vanishing instantly from the human world.

Seven steeds galloped, the divine chariot emitting rays of dawn that pierced through layers of void. The cold, silent space was illuminated by the sun chariot, dispelling the darkness and guiding the army behind.

"Charge!"

The Wind God Vayu, wielding a sharp divine spear and carrying a divine bow, with an antelope pulling the divine chariot ahead, moved as fast as a gale, closely following the sun chariot.

One hundred thousand Gandharva soldiers followed the dawn light ahead, trailing closely behind.

Rumble! Rumble!

The space at the edge of the Human Realm and the Underworld continuously vibrated, waves of spatial tremors erupting and shaking the world.

Swish!

The sun chariot descended like a great sun, passing through layers of void and appearing in the deep, dark Underworld.

Surya's gaze sharpened.

On the dry, cracked, reddish-black land ahead, a host of Asura soldiers were gathered. These Asura soldiers stood in place, weapons in hand, waiting solemnly, as if prepared for the arrival of the celestial gods.

A towering figure, like a demon god, stood before this Asura army.

This figure possessed a majestic aura; just standing there, he was like Mandara Mountain, exuding a boundless, profound, and immense presence.

Even more terrifyingly...

This guy's face was identical to Golden-Eyed's!

"Gold-, Golden-Eyed!"

The Sun God Surya exclaimed in terror, then shook his head. "No, Golden-Eyed was clearly killed by the Devraj. You are... Golden Bed!"

As Surya cried out in surprise.

His sun chariot had already ascended to the high heavens of the Underworld.

The golden great sun emitted endless radiance, instantly illuminating the entire Underworld.

The Wind God Vayu's antelope-drawn chariot shot out with a swish.

His fighting spirit surged, and as the vanguard of the army, he charged forward. He drew the Wind God's Bow, and rolling winds transformed into an unstoppable arrow.

"Winds, heed my command!"

The Wind God Vayu roared lowly, and the Wind Arrow in his hand was instantly loosed.

Swish!

This arrow transformed in mid-air, from one to two, two to four, four to eight...

The Wind Arrows manifested in their thousands, an endless stream, instantly covering the Underworld like a sky curtain and shooting towards the Asura army.

The Wind God Vayu held his divine bow, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and smiled with satisfaction.

He was still quite formidable!

Seeing this, the Asura army became terrified, staring at the arrow in astonishment.

Golden Bed stood in place, unmoved.

The Asura General [Durgama] frowned, took a step forward, about to act, but his chest was blocked by a staff.

"Don't rush!"

The Asura Mentor Shukracharyaa's voice was calm as he withdrew his arm, his gaze falling upon Golden Bed ahead.

Golden Bed slowly raised his head.

In his sight, behind the Wind God Vayu, the Fire God Agni stood on his war chariot, imposing and fierce, leading one hundred thousand Heavenly Realm soldiers who had also charged forward.

Golden Bed's lips curled into a cold smile.

The next moment, he flipped his right hand, his palm opening wide.

Swish!

A blinding light flashed in his palm, revealing a massive warhammer. He swung the warhammer with all his might, sending it crashing down from the sky.

The warhammer's power was unleashed.

The warhammer began to transform, replicating at a terrifying speed. More and more appeared, and in an instant, it had duplicated into hundreds of millions of massive warhammers at an almost exponential rate. They spun and smashed into the myriad of arrows.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

The arrows of Vayu, which had covered the sky, were instantly obliterated. They exploded with a deafening roar, turning to nothingness.

More warhammers descended from the sky like a dark cloud, crashing down upon the gods and their armies.

Rumble!

Vayu, seeing the colossal hammer grow larger in his eyes, appeared before him in an instant. With a bang, it struck his head, knocking him from his divine chariot first, causing him to tumble and fall.

Following closely, the Gandharva armies were also struck by this power, and the heavenly gods began to fall to the earth like dumplings, one after another.

"Ahhhh!"

"It hurts so much!"

Screams of agony echoed one after another.

Surya, the Sun God, opened his mouth and stared at the scene in astonishment.

This wasn't how things were supposed to unfold!

Weren't the gods supposed to be filled with righteous indignation, advancing triumphantly, heading straight for the earth realm to defeat the Asura King?

How could this have happened!

Surya was horrified, realizing the power of the Golden Bed and that it was impossible to resist.

He quickly and frantically exclaimed, "Aruna, let's go!"

Aruna's expression tensed. He pulled on the reins, turned the divine chariot, and began to gallop away.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Flying warhammers continued to attack relentlessly. Fortunately, Aruna's driving skills were superb. Up, down, left, and right, with a series of maneuvers, he managed to dodge many of the warhammers.

"Surya!"

At this moment, Agni, the Fire God, also arrived, riding a goat.

"Be careful, Agni..."

Before Surya could finish speaking, he saw Agni, the Fire God, directly hit by a colossal hammer. He plummeted to the ground like a meteor from outer space, creating a huge crater with a deafening crash.

"!!!"

"Agni!"

Surya looked down in shock.

He gripped the chariot frame in terror, his peripheral vision catching sight of countless giant hammers attacking. The divine chariot tossed and turned, filling him with immense fear.

The power of this Golden Bed was no less than that of Golden-Eyed, perhaps even stronger.

Vayu had fallen without even withstanding a single blow.

The Fire God was the same!

"Go! Let's go back quickly!"

"Hurry and ask the Guardian Deities from the Ocean of Milk!"

Surya bowed his body, extending a large hand, and shouted.

The Heavenly Realm.

The mirror surface rippled.

Priest Sage stood frozen, staring at the unfolding events before him with wide eyes.

The Heavenly Realm's hundred thousand strong army was gone just like that?!

"Fortunately, I made preparations early!"

Indra clicked his tongue, sighed, and turned to leave.

All the gods had drunk the Amrita and possessed immortality, so there was no need to worry about casualties.

Priest Sage quickly stepped forward, patted Indra's arm, and asked in a panic, "Devraj, you're going to the Brahma Realm, what about everyone else?"

Indra glanced at Priest Sage strangely.

"Do I look like such a selfish person?"

"As people of my Heavenly Realm, I will support their wives. You don't need to worry. I'm going to the Sun God's Palace now to send Surya's wife to the Brahma Realm first."

"As for a way to rescue the gods, that will require careful planning."

"Mentor, you don't need to worry!"

Indra said.

"But is there still time?"

The Priest Sage asked worriedly, his face full of concern.

"Don't worry, the Gandharvas are immortal. Even if he were a hundred thousand pigs, Golden Bed wouldn't be able to catch him that easily," Indra chuckled lightly, patting the Priest Sage's shoulder to reassure him. "By the way, Mentor, your wife Tara seems to still be in the human realm. Do you want to go together?"

Upon hearing this, the Priest Sage breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's no need to worry about that. Tonight, Soma came to me and told me that Tara wasn't safe in the human realm, so I had him transform into moonlight to fetch Tara."

"They should be back in the Heavenly Realm soon."

"Soma is quite a good person!"

The Priest Sage smiled brightly.

"???"

Indra.
