Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

In response, Antoka cautiously replied:

"Because my mother is very beautiful, I...I...I had this thought..."

Upon hearing this, Gavia couldn't help but smile wryly and turned to look at Shiva, but Shiva remained as indifferent as ever.

Afterwards, Gavia deliberately aligned Anthaka's head with his line of sight.

“Anthaka, you are so kind to me, it is my honor.”

then.

“Don’t just be kind to me, be kind to everyone, Antoka.”

Antoka did not speak, but nodded vigorously as a reply.

And so the sea of ​​flowers faded, accompanied by Gavia's departure.

At the same time, Shiva glanced at Anthaka and then prepared to leave.

but--

“Wait, Father, Father, don’t go yet. Antoka has something to say to you, Great Heaven.”

Anthaka clasped his hands together, trembling as he faced Shiva.

"what's up."

"Antoka understands how evil I have done, and I beg you, Father, to punish me! I cannot repent to Mother if you do not punish me!"

"...There's no need. Since you've already repented, then do as you said—"

When Shiva refused, Anthaka ran over and hugged him, her eyes slightly moist and tears streaming down her face.

"Father, you must punish me, otherwise I will not be able to eat or sleep properly, and the Three Realms also need to know what the consequences are for those who commit evil."

It must be said that what Anthaka said did indeed make Shiva hesitate. The evils produced in the three stages are far more numerous than those produced in the perfect stage. Therefore, it is necessary to let the world know the consequences for those who commit evils in order to serve as a warning.

Shiva thought that since Kashijaya had already run away from home, it wouldn't hurt to bring Anthaka back to make Parvati happy, since they were both children born to each other, and he was the eldest son.

"Then, Antoka, what punishment do you want?"

"Let me, Father, pierce my body with your trident, causing me to bleed and suffer, as a warning to all those who harbor evil thoughts!"

Antoka said with great conviction.

……

After Brahma's time-stopping period ended, he was on a mountain in the human realm.

Kama was still blushing, while Gavia had long since returned and was continuing to fish.

The god of love must be pondering how to answer Gavia's question, "Because it is your world, Kama, I will treat it well."

After pondering for a long time, Kama then spoke softly in a voice only he could hear:

"Isn't it only natural for you to treat me this way?"

Chapter 312 Be angry, Gavia.

The human realm, Lanka Island.

The island was born from a stone that fell from a mountain peak when the wind god Fayu accidentally destroyed it. Later, the Rakshasa tribe lived on the island and multiplied.

In Hindu mythology, the Rakshasas, like the Asuras, are beings where the males are ugly and the females are beautiful. The main difference is that the Asuras are enemies of the Devas, while the Rakshasas mainly harass humans.

Therefore, the natural enemy of the Rakshasa is the Yaksha, who are demigods and have a friendly attitude towards humans. They are called "the sincere ones". In the Samyutta Nikaya, the sixth demon king Mara is called a Yaksha.

Shortly after the events of Anthaka came to an end, on Lanka Island, the ten-headed demon king Ravana looked at the lingam symbolizing Shiva before him with an angry expression.

The third quarter marks the beginning of a dark age.

This is something that every god knows perfectly well, and that no being in this era can avoid.

Ravana is known as the Ten-Headed Demon King because, as the name suggests, he has ten heads. It is said that the wisdom in Ravana's mind was so vast that one head could not contain it all, so nine more heads were created.

As early as when he reached perfection, Rabjam sought blessings from Brahma through ascetic practices, requesting immortality, but this was naturally rejected by Brahma.

Ravana continued his ascetic practices, even cutting off his own head ten times in a row. In the end, Brahma still did not grant him immortality, but he injected the nectar of immortality into Ravana's navel. As long as the nectar existed, he could not be defeated.

At the same time, Brahma continued:

“Ravana, your asceticism pleases the world, and therefore you will receive a blessing: if you wish, you can make it so that no one can harm you.”

Upon hearing this, Ravana replied as follows:

“I am not afraid of humans, you need not consider them! If you are satisfied with my asceticism, Brahma, please grant me—that I will not be killed by gods, gandharvas, yakshas, ​​demons, asuras, and rakshasas!”

After blessing Ravana, Brahma then looked at Ravana's two younger brothers, Vipassana and Kambhahana. In fact, the three brothers were practicing asceticism together, so they were all to be blessed.

The blessing that Vivishana requested was, 'Grant me a mindful heart and a dedication to the gods and the Dharma.' Because Brahma was very pleased with Vivishana's request, he also granted him immortality.

Kambhahana made the vow of 'sacred sleep in yoga,' and therefore Kambhahana will sleep for six months of the year.

At the time of the blessing, Ravana's three brothers were all devout believers, so they did not use the blessing to cause trouble.

Later, Ravana offered his nine heads to Shiva, who then promised him, "As long as you continue to selflessly dedicate yourself to me, you will be my most devout follower, and you will be praised by the world as my most devout follower." Shiva then gave Ravana a weapon called 'Moonlight'.

In fact, Ravana was a devout follower of Shiva at the time, and his offerings to Shiva were simply because he wanted to see Shiva, so he was very happy.

Later, Ravana even wanted to build a magnificent palace for Shiva. Just showing Shiva the model made Shiva so happy that he shook the damaru drum.

In Hinduism, especially among Shiva devotees, it is believed that Shiva struck the Dharmaru and produced the first sound. This first sound came from the mouth of the void. Shiva began his creation dance with the rhythm of the Dharmaru, and from his dance, the world was born.

The fact that Shiva shook the damaru drum for Ravana shows how much he liked Ravana as a devout believer.

But not long after, the fire sacrifice of Daksha occurred, and in an instant, the Lord of the Himalayas was reincarnated, Sati fell into slumber, and Shiva practiced asceticism for millions of years...

Ravana was also in great pain by this, and his cries shook the three realms, making them unforgettable. After all, among the four guardian deities, Ravana was the only one who did not worship Vishnu, so this was not surprising.

When the three-minute mark arrived, Ravana learned that Shiva had emerged from his asceticism and remarried Parvati. Overjoyed, he longed for Shiva to enter the palace he had built for him years before, so he rode his cloud chariot to Jirosha.

However, it was impossible for the cloud chariot to enter the realm of Khrikuti. Even Indra, the king of gods, could only come on foot. But Ravana ignored the advice of his brother Kubera, the god of wealth, and went his own way. In the end, he was knocked off by Khrikuti along with his chariot. At that time, Ravana happened to run into Nandi.

Nandi, being Shiva's mount, naturally understood Ravana and greeted him happily, but Ravana took it as mockery.

Therefore, Robona said to Nandi with a gloomy expression:

“Look at you, I really don’t understand why the heavens made you their servant. A lowly, ugly, ape-like creature like Nandi is not worthy of being in the Gilusa.”

Although Nandi has a gentle nature, it is not one to remain indifferent to insults from just anyone.

"Ten heads, the place where the selfless stand in the Girossa, the believers of the Great Heaven should not presume to judge others... I am the servant of the Great Heaven, and I know to respect the believers of the Great Heaven, otherwise, I will punish your inappropriate behavior of insulting me."

"It's just a lowly name, how can it be considered offensive? Is calling you by the name of an animal an insult? Yes, it's normal for you to have a problem with me calling you a monkey."

Ravana opened his arms and said, “But I can’t help it, because you are behaving just like a monkey. Luckily you are a servant of my Lord God, or I would have killed you immediately.”

Then Ravana said something else.

"In fact, no ignorant animal, or any animal, whether you or anyone else, or even a god, can touch my head, so your punishment is ineffective against me."

Robona's arrogance infuriated Nandi.

“Very good, that’s true.”

Nandi glared at Lobona, "Yet you actually consider animals to be lowly and blatantly insult them, Ten Heads! I, Nandi, Servant of the Great Heaven, curse you! You will die because of a monkey in the future!"

Robona did not respond to Nandi, but continued to look at him with disdain.

"You think calling someone a monkey isn't an insult? But the wealth and status you enjoy will be the price you pay!"

"One day, they will be burned by a monkey!"

"Your doom will befall you when you encounter the one who allies with the monkey! Ten verses!"

Robina, who insulted Nandi, probably never imagined that his future fate had already been sealed by the enraged Nandi.

However, Ravana came here to move Gilasa and Shiva away, so he didn't pay much attention to Nandi's curse. But Shiva rejected his actions, so Ravana had no choice but to leave.

But Ravana was still unwilling to give up and tried to take Shiva away again through asceticism. Shiva had no choice but to agree, but said that he would transform into a lingam. As long as Ravana kept his lingam form on the ground, he would go with him to Lanka.

However, on the way, Vishnu, knowing this situation, trapped Ravana in 'Maya,' causing the journey to Lanka to become indefinitely delayed.

In fact, if it were the perfect time, Shiva would be happy to go to Lanka with Ravana. But times have changed. As the god of form, Shiva has realized that darkness has arisen in Ravana's heart. His real plan is to imprison Ravana on Lanka and exchange his asceticism for blessings.

Of course, Vishnu understood this, which is why he helped Shiva. On the way, when Ravana was tired and thirsty, he transformed into a child drinking water and offered to help carry the lingam. Ravana did not suspect anything and thus felt that Vishnu had transformed into him so that he could drink water and rest.

When Ravana returned, the lingam had already been placed on the ground, which meant that Shiva could not return to Lanka as he had promised.

Back in the present, on the island of Lenga, where it is raining heavily, Ravana gazes at the black Linga amidst the downpour.

“Great God, I have worshipped you for millions of years, why won’t you give me a chance to serve you and come with me to Lanka? I want to serve you, that’s all I want, isn’t it? But you won’t even grant me my only wish. With great love and dedication, I built a golden palace for you, but you didn’t move in.”

You even sent Vishnu to deceive me and hurt my dignity. I have always devoutly believed in you and the Lord of the Himalayas. Back then, because of the Dakshaṇa incident, my cries echoed throughout the three realms for ten thousand years. But now you keep hurting me and mocking my dedication.

"I offered you nine heads, and what did I receive? I practiced asceticism for you for millions of years, and what did I receive? I became your most devout follower, and what did I receive?"

The more Lobona spoke, the more obvious his anger became.

"On one side is you, and on the other side is the whole world, but I chose you, because gaining you means gaining the whole world, doesn't it?"

Immediately, Ravana stood up and punched the black linga.

"Since I cannot gain the world through my sacrifice, then I will use my power! The power of my roar will now shake the entire Three Realms! This is Ravana! The one who makes the Three Realms weep! At that time, the ten most devout followers of the Great Heaven will vanish completely! His disappearance signifies—"

Dark clouds rolled in, and a fierce wind surged, forming a swirling vortex within which lightning crackled.

boom! boom! boom!

Blinding bolts of lightning crashed down on Lanka Island, destroying the golden palace that Ravana had built for Shiva at the time of his perfection.

"The incomparably powerful Rakshasa King, Ravana, has been born!"

Thus, the time of Ravana revealed that all kinds of evil would wreak havoc on the world—

Desire, greed, anger, alcoholism, addiction, lust—whenever these six vices run rampant, people disregard humanity and the soul, and abandon goodness.

Ravana knew this, and therefore he used his power to force humanity to become the victims of these six evils.

He ruthlessly captured humans, yakshas, ​​and other races to build a new city for him on the ruins of the Golden Palace. Those captured had no complaints, because Ravana used his wealth to control people's hearts, and this reaction was more obvious than that of Anthaka's evil intentions.

Vishnu, Shiva can liberate enslaved people, but cannot free them from the bondage of their own greed.

……

Milk Sea.

Vishnu looked upon the world, which was surrounded by all kinds of evil, and said with a smile:

"An even darker era than Anthaka has arrived, and it is time for us to usher in a new era."

Upon hearing this, Lakshmi, standing nearby, recalled the curse uttered hundreds of thousands of years ago by the Water Spectrum's wife, the monstrous antelope:

"The excruciating pain my husband endured, you will one day experience firsthand!"

"You will wander for many years in search of a faithful wife!"

Thinking of this, Lakshmi couldn't help but say to Vishnu, who was smiling at her:

“My husband, who can transcend time? The Great God, Brahma, Gavia, and you, you are all clearly not bound by time, so why are you still so worried?”

"goddess."

Vishnu looked at Lakshmi and said, “If we break free from the constraints of time, it will not only be disrespectful to time and Brahman, but we will also have to pay a price. Therefore, we must face all circumstances and set an example for the development of the world and for the development of mankind, who are the protagonists of this era.”

Then Vishnu laughed again and continued speaking.

“I know your concerns, but can I immediately break free from the curse of the antelope? Can I remove Ravana now? How can the Great God use his third eye to make Ravana disappear from the world? If the gods act arbitrarily in such situations, it will not only affect piety but also create injustice and distort the truth.”

“If all beings in the three realms imitate our behavior, they will think that they can do whatever they want with their power, which would undoubtedly be a disaster for the world.”

"Therefore, self-respect, self-discipline, and behavior are the rules we must follow."

"We are performing the sacred lyre of the Highest Vatican in the midst of changing times and at the appropriate time."

Neither you nor I can stand aside.

Vishnu had already foreseen what he would have to do next. This time, he could not simply create an avatar or reincarnate one as before. Instead, he had to be reincarnated as a human himself in order to destroy Ravana.

In other words, during this period of stagnation, there were only two deities in the three realms: Brahma and Shiva.

"Praise be to Narayana, my lord."

After a long silence, Naratuo suddenly spoke up, "I originally thought that everything could be resolved, but in the matter of Antoga, Datian fell into anger. Datian is not usually easily angered, so why has his attitude changed like this?"
