Success

The lotus petal-shaped barrier gradually dissipated, and Vishnu withdrew his protection; the trial was over. The Ocean of Milk was almost completely dried up, and everyone above Ocean of Milk stared in disbelief at this outcome they had never imagined before.

"Not dry grass that will eventually burn out, but gold that can withstand refinement," Shiva murmured. Then, he waved his hand, and everything around him froze. Even the fragments on his body stopped falling. Mahadeva looked at Kama and Bai Mo and slowly extended his palm.

"It's over. This is your victory."

A flash of light, and the three figures vanished, leaving only Shiva's voice echoing in the air. Everyone stared in disbelief, utterly dumbfounded. What had just happened? A human, accompanied by Kama, who had just attained a new divine position, had defeated Shiva?

Everyone's heads were buzzing, and at the same time, some soldiers looked at Duryodhana with unfriendly eyes.

"Should we... cut this guy down and use his head to appease that person's anger?"

Some soldiers whispered, while many others realized what was happening.

Good heavens, we actually brought an army to attack this thing? Many people's legs went weak, as if they had just walked through the Hall of Enma, feeling extremely terrified.

A surge of light appeared in the palace of Sweetness City, where Shiva arrived with Bai Mo and Kama. Two other beams of light flashed, revealing Vishnu and Brahma. Shiva's body remained in a shattered state, but it emanated a strange power, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

"Wait, is this power...?"

Bai Mo heard Bai Wunan's voice in his mind, and Bai Mo nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "It must be the power of time. He directly stopped his own time. At that time, a quarter of Ashwatthama's body was Shiva's power, so he was the first one to come here from the future. The [Maha Pralaya] driven by Arjuna can directly erase a person's existence from the past, which also utilizes Shiva's power of time."

Bai Mo could hear Bai Wunan's deafening silence, then he took a deep breath and let out a helpless laugh.

"Hahaha, damn it, I need some peace and quiet."

In his desperate attempt to buy time, Bai Wunan had worked for 500,000 years, suddenly felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

Meanwhile, Shiva addressed Brahma:

"Brahma, please help me. I cannot repair this damage; please create a new body for me."

Shiva spoke to Brahma, Brahma smiled helplessly upon hearing this, then stretched out his hand, and the power of the creator god restored Shiva's body to its original state.

"You just caused my child so much trouble, and you have the nerve to swagger in and ask me for help?"

Brahma's tone carried a hint of helplessness, but he also knew very well that Shiva, as a naive god, wouldn't consider so many complicated matters.

Bai Mo's situation wasn't much better; the massive amount of devoured power had shattered his own body.

To some extent, Bai Mo used Shiva's power to launch an attack that resembled Self-Destruction Realm.

"Nonsense." Kama reached out and transferred power into Bai Mo's body. The Asura Way was activated, and his body quickly recovered. However, his whole body was still sore and tired from being almost burst by Flames of Shiva. But this was not the time to care about these things. He brought Kama to Shiva.

"Do you still stand by what I just said?"

"The decree stands. Kama has proven himself, and the battle just now was your victory. This divine position is also part of your arduous path of cultivation, and I naturally will not stop you. Therefore..."

"Kama, congratulations."

Hearing this, Kama felt a sense of unreality. She stretched out her hands and looked at herself. Her original clothes were now covered by a layer of golden soft armor, with a vast amount of Power of Austerity flowing within them. She had never felt such a powerful force before.

"Since that's the case, then Mahadeva, you'd better show some generosity, right?"

Vishnu chimed in playfully, his gaze shifting between the two.

"Brahma and I have both prepared gifts. Mahadeva, you are no longer an obstacle, but a witness. The protector of the oppressed is helpful to the Dharma in the world, and we should give him our help."

Vishnu spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the lotus in his hand floated toward Kama. Brahma also took out the Vedas from his hand, and a page floated out from it. The page was blank, yet it seemed as if countless words were flowing within it.

Kama was stunned and stood there for a moment when she saw the two things, while Bai Mo patted her on the shoulder.

"Take it. This kind of thing shouldn't fall on your shoulders alone; they should also contribute."

Now, it was Da Mahadeva's turn to feel a little awkward. He had originally come with the intention of giving Kama a beating to make her give up, so naturally he hadn't prepared any gifts.

"Ask me for a blessing."

"That's what Mahadeva said," and upon hearing this, Kama's eyes lit up.

"Then grant me... the blessing that everything my hands touch will be destroyed!"

"No, something like Ash-Burning Asura will never happen again."

Mahadeva shook his head without hesitation, while Bai Mo grabbed Kama's ear without any politeness and said irritably, "Don't act like an Asura!"

"Tsk, I just wanted to see this guy running around like a headless chicken. Honestly... I don't need your blessing. Don't think that just because you're doing this I'll forgive what you did before."

Kama spoke fiercely to Shiva, clearly still harboring resentment over what had happened before. Shiva, also showing displeasure, said to Kama, "What do you mean you forgive me? I'm the one who forgives you for disturbing my ascetic practice! You're being completely unreasonable!"

"Huh? You bastard..."

Kama is clearly much more confident now, and even dares to challenge Shiva.

This is understandable, given the Power of Austerity and merit accumulated through arduous cultivation; such an attack is no joke. Seeing the two about to argue, Bai Mo pulled Kama back from behind, while Vishnu narrowed his eyes, seemingly realizing something, and asked Shiva:

"Mahadeva, how much do you know about that matter?"

"How much do you know? Isn't it just that guy Kama who came to cause trouble and interfere with my ascetic practice?"

Vishnu shook his head and said to him, "No, that time it was because of Brahma's blessing that the Asura King Taraka received the blessing, and could only be killed by your child. Indra was defeated, and Parvati also made a request, so Kama took action."

Strictly speaking, it was a job.

Upon hearing Vishnu's words, Shiva turned to look at Brahma, Brahma, the little old man, slightly shrank his neck and opened his arms to Shiva, saying, "I thought you knew. Didn't Indra tell you?"

"No."
