"???"
Indra furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment.
No wonder he had not seen Soma!
"Leave this sort of thing to me in the future. Soma is completely unreliable."
Indra commented.
He had a good relationship with Soma, so he knew him very well.
That guy was terribly lustful, even more lustful than Indra had once been. At least Indra did not prey on those close to him; Soma might not be so restrained.
More importantly, true to his title as the god of wine, Soma was exceedingly prone to indulgence.
Hopefully Soma would not do anything that harmed both himself and others!
"Teacher, go guide Soma more often lately. Teach him what Dharma is!"
Indra reminded him.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Priest Sage was utterly confused and stared at Indra in bewilderment.
"Teacher, forget it if you do not understand. When the time comes, I'll spar with Soma and beat him up a couple of times."
Indra said.
Having said all he needed to say, he did not elaborate further. He turned and swiftly flew toward the Temple of the Sun God.
Whoosh!
Indra moved at tremendous speed.
Before long, he arrived at the Temple of the Sun God.
Standing before the radiant temple, which shone endlessly like a blazing sun, his divine body abruptly enlarged and assumed its greatest form.
Light blazed in Indra's eyes as his body grew enormously. His eyes became twin suns, lightning coiled around him, and he looked like a thunder god descending from the heavens, radiating terrifying power that shook heaven and earth.
The domain of the Temple of the Sun God instantly stirred, emitting boundless light.
Unfortunately, within the Heavenly Realm's domain, everything was controlled by the Heavenly Emperor. The power of this divine domain could never resist him.
Indra's thoughts shifted.
Rumble!
The entire Temple of the Sun God immediately began to tremble.
At that moment, a goddess in a red dress stumbled out of the temple at a quick trot.
She was beautiful, with vermilion between her brows. A golden gown wrapped around her lush figure, outlining her alluring curves and giving her the fertile vitality of a mare.
As expected of the cloud goddess. She looked exceptionally luscious!
The cloud goddess—Saloniya!
Surya's wife, Vishwakarma the Craftsman God's daughter, and the mother of Yama, Yamuna, and the Ashvins.
"Heavenly Emperor, what are you doing?"
"Where is Surya?"
The moment Saloniya saw the Heavenly Emperor, she backed away in fear, tightly hugged her chest, and asked in terror.
"There's no time to explain!"
"The Asura army is about to reach the Heavenly Realm. I'm sending you to the Brahma Realm."
As soon as Indra finished speaking,
he clasped his hands together. The entire Temple of the Sun God rumbled as he instantly uprooted it from the Heavenly Realm, then shot into the sky with it.
Boom!
The cloud goddess Saloniya looked utterly confused. Then her footing gave way, and she began swaying wildly from side to side.
"Hold on tight. I'm going to speed up!"
Indra shouted.
His mind was calm as he looked up at the sky and suddenly accelerated.
Saloniya's face flushed red with fright. Leaning against a golden pillar, she slowly slid down and collapsed onto the ground, unable to stop herself from screaming.
Whoosh!
A vast, boundless expanse appeared above the Heavenly Realm.
"Praise be to Mistress Goddess Saraswati!"
Light and shadows flickered in Indra's eyes, revealing the radiant figure of Goddess Saraswati riding a swan with a Veena in her arms.
Whoosh!
In an instant, space abruptly changed, and an expanse of pure, sacred radiance appeared.
The sky was blue-green, clouds billowed like a sea, and the fragrance of lotuses drifted through the air.
Two radiant figures sat cross-legged within the Brahma Realm.
They had arrived!
The Brahma Realm!
The corners of Indra's mouth lifted as he flew onto a cloud and set down the Temple of the Sun God in his hand.
"Praise be to the Lord! Praise be to the Mistress!"
"The Heavenly Realm has suffered disaster. Golden Bed of the Asuras received a blessing and attacked the gods. I had no choice but to move the Temple of the Sun God to the Brahma Realm. It may need to remain here for some time."
With a smile on his face, Indra pressed his palms together and spoke to Brahma and Goddess Saraswati.
All right!
She probably understood what had happened.
Goddess Saraswati's gaze shifted slightly as she glanced at Brahma beside her, who looked guilty.
Golden Bed of the Asuras had probably received Brahma's blessing. However, she had also granted the gods the blessing to freely enter the Brahma Realm, so this was the only thing they could do now.
"Very well!"
Goddess Saraswati said.
At this moment, the cloud goddess Saloniya also came to her senses.
She looked around and happened to see Lord Brahma and the Mistress. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have misunderstood the Heavenly Emperor, and she hurriedly bowed to the Lord.
When she wanted to apologize to the Heavenly Emperor as well, Indra was nowhere to be seen.
Whoosh!
Lightning flickered around Indra as he sped back to the Heavenly Realm.
His second destination was equally clear—the Moon God Palace.
Inside the Moon God Palace.
As the Heavenly Emperor Indra arrived, twenty-eight beautiful figures anxiously ran out and bowed to him.
These twenty-eight beauties were Moon God Soma's wives!
"Come on. The Asuras are attacking, and the Heavenly Realm is dangerous. I'll send you to the Brahma Realm."
Indra said.
"Heavenly Emperor, my husband hasn't come home in a long time!"
"Where is my husband?"
Lucini, Soma's most favored wife, was the first to speak.
"Huh?!"
How was he supposed to know that?!
Indra froze slightly, blinking as an idea suddenly came to him.
"Ahem~"
"I don't know where Soma went either. He might be in danger, but I'll send you to the Brahma Realm right away. Ask before the Lord and Mistress."
"The Lord sees across the Three Realms, so he must know where Soma is. He can even call him back."
"Besides, you can cultivate bitterly before the Lord and request that the Lord and Mistress grant you a blessing to see Soma whenever you wish. Then you'll never have to worry about him again."
Indra clapped his hands and smiled.
Brilliant!
The Heavenly Emperor truly was full of wisdom!
Lucini's eyes lit up. The other twenty-seven beauties also suddenly understood, as though a veil had been lifted from their minds.
"Aren't you going to thank me?"
Indra blinked and spread his hands with a smile.
Lucini and her sisters beamed with delight. They hurriedly pressed their palms together and looked reverently toward the wise Indra.
"Praise be to the Heavenly Emperor! Thank you, great and wise Heavenly Emperor!"
"Praise be to the Heavenly Emperor! Thank you, great and wise Heavenly Emperor!"
Indra acted swiftly.
He soon sent the Moon God Palace to the Brahma Realm. Then came the palaces of the Fire God, Varuna, and the Wind God. One divine temple after another was sent into the Brahma Realm.
Before long, the entire Heavenly Realm appeared empty and desolate.
Only the final Sudarshana City remained standing.
Indra strode back into the Heavenly Emperor's Temple.
When he looked up, he saw the spacious Heavenly Emperor's Throne sitting prominently at the center of the temple. It seemed like the center of the world, dazzlingly bright and golden.
"This all started because of that throne."
"Golden Bed wants it. I'll leave this throne for him later."
Indra sighed inwardly.
He shook his head, strode out of the Heavenly Emperor's Temple, and continued along the road toward the outskirts of Sudarshana City. As he walked, his body grew immense once again. Divine light flashed across his skin, he inhaled like clouds and exhaled like wind, radiating terrifying pressure.
"Only Sudarshana City remains!"
Indra muttered.
He rubbed his hands together, preparing to lift Sudarshana City.
Sudarshana City was the largest place in the Heavenly Realm, which was why he had left it for last.
Just then, a familiar cry for help rang out behind him.
"Heavenly Emperor, save me!"
The familiar voice caught Indra's attention.
Indra turned and saw Varuna riding the divine beast Makara in a frantic flight.
Makara resembled a crocodile, with a goat's head and a fish's body, and it moved as fast as lightning.
Behind Varuna was an aggressive-looking Asura general.
"Huh?"
"It isn't even Golden Bed, yet he dares chase someone into the Heavenly Realm? Are all Asuras this bold?"
"Who gave him the nerve!"
Indra paused, staring at the scene in surprise.
He set down Sudarshana City, straightened up, and rolled his neck. His divine body crackled with thunderous bone-shaking sounds. Then he slowly raised a hand, and a Seven-Colored Divine Bow immediately appeared in his palm.
"Indra's Bow!"
