Chapter 4 Overslept, the Moon Goddess Disappeared

Garuda suppressed his anger, then opened and closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and praised the names of the gods.

"Praise to the Sun God Surya!"

"Praise the God of Fire!"

"Praise the Water God!"

……

"Praise to Indra, the God of Thunder!"

As Garuda's voice rang out in the heaven.

At this time, pillars of light rose up from many places in the heavens, shot straight up to the sky, and then landed in front of Garuda, revealing the true form of the god.

The sun god Surya, the fire god Agni, the water god Varuna, the wind god Vayu, the wine god Soma...

One after another, the gods arrived to welcome Garuda.

But Indra was not seen.

Garuda put down his hand, his expression stern, his eagle eyes swept across the gods, and said: "I am here on the order of the Lord to invite the gods to meet the Lord. Why don't you meet the Emperor of Heaven?"

The gods looked at each other and glanced left and right.

Surya, the sun god, finally stood up and said, "Indra is doing penance!"

He was also preparing to practice hard, but he still had to pull the cart and had no time to do so, so he gave up.

Hearing this, Garuda frowned.

He looked towards the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor, snorted, and walked forward: "This is the call from the Lord, but he ignored it and has no respect for the Lord. Now the Heaven has become like this, all because of him."

The gods remained silent,

As brothers, they knew each other's virtues inside out. Indra was in a hurry to attend the gathering in heaven and neglected the old sage.

Given the circumstances at the time, they would have done the same.

Arrogance is the privilege of the gods and should not be criticized too much!

Besides, if they get into trouble next time, we can talk it out with each other.

"Don't worry, we can wait a little longer!"

Surya, the sun god.

"That's right! Ascetic meditation is the true law of the universe, we should respect it!" The god of wine Soma also nodded.

As soon as these two spoke, the other gods immediately echoed them.

"That's right, I agree. Let's wait a little longer!" said the water god Varuna.

"me too!"

The Fire God clenched his fist.

Garuda looked at the gods and frowned.

All the gods said so, and he couldn't change his mind.

So he sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "Then let's wait a little longer, just a little while!"

……

time flies.

There is no day or night in heaven, and time passes like water.

Rumble!
Suddenly, deafening thunders resounded through the sky.

Garuda opened his eyes instantly, and his originally happy expression darkened into one of anger.

He dreamed of Lord Vishnu during his meditation, and just as he saw the Lord opening his mouth to say something, the thunder interrupted his meditation and woke him up.

"Praise be to Lord Vishnu!"

Garuda suppressed his anger, praised the Lord, then stood up and looked around.

At this time, he turned his head to look at the gods around him, and saw that the gods were either lying or reclining, their clothes were even more tattered and in rags, the glory of the gods was gone, and the fragrance from their bodies had completely disappeared.

The curse is even worse!

"what!"

"What time is it now!"

Garuda exclaimed in shock.

He immediately realized that he had been meditating too much and began to calculate the time on his fingers.

"Two hundred and fifty years!"

Garuda opened his eyes wide and spoke loudly.

The gods around were awakened from their meditation and immediately realized their own situation.

The next moment, they looked up at the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven, and saw that the power of ascetic practice was dissipating. The power of ascetic practice turned into lightning and shot out in all directions, causing rumbling thunder in the heavens.

The thunder just now came from here!

"Indra, you really pissed me off!"

"If it weren't for your hard work, I would never have delayed the Lord's command!"

Garuda said angrily.

At this moment, he didn't care about anything else, flapped his wings, and flew towards the Tiandi Palace in anger. The gods looked at each other, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after him.

In front of the Emperor's Palace at this time.

Garuda flapped its wings, and its huge feathers covered the sky, instantly turning it into darkness. Countless violent winds blew towards the temple that had turned into a thatched hut.

The surrounding Gandharvas were terrified and fled behind other gods.

boom!
The pitch-black storm blocked out the sky, but stopped in front of the thatched cottage.

Indescribable invisible lightning burst out and shot up to the sky. Amidst the roar, it transformed into countless roaring dragons and snakes, which shattered the black wind in an instant.

"I come here on the orders of Lord Vishnu. Indra, please come out quickly. I know you are inside!"

"You have the guts to offend the Immortal in Biyi, come out now!"

Garuda's wings flapped violently.

As Vishnu's most devout believer, his divine power was extremely strong, and the storm caused the entire heaven to shake.

"Stop it now!"

The Wind God Vayu had a bitter look on his face and shouted quickly.

The brothers supported each other and huddled together, holding up their remaining divine power to form a divine shield to resist Garuda's strong wind.

"If you have something to say, please take your time. We can't hold on any longer!"

The sun god Surya swayed and waved.

The divine power shield was crumbling at this time.

The changes in the heavens instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

In the Brahma realm, Brahma and Goddess Saraswati sat cross-legged on lotus flowers, overlooking the heavens below.

Above the Ocean of Milk, Vishnu looked up with the Chakravartin spinning in his hand.

In Jirosa, Shiva also slowly opened his eyes.

boom!
The storm rolled in, penetrating every hole. The entire thatched hut was blown away by the storm, revealing Indra lying on his side meditating inside.

"Indra!"

Garuda roared again, and a strong wind came howling.

Swish!
However, under the filtration of the power of asceticism, the power of the storm immediately turned into a breeze, bringing a hint of coolness, gently blowing across his chest.

Ah hoo~
Indra yawned slowly, fumbling and scratching his chest, swaying his body to sit cross-legged, and opened his eyes sleepily.

Suddenly, a black hurricane rolling in the sky came into view.

"Ok?"

Indra tilted his head and rubbed his eyes, and the world around him finally became clear.

High winds, squalls, and hurricanes!
There was wind everywhere, and there was a birdman staring at him!

"Garuda!"

Indra reacted, muttering the name.

"Indra, Lord Vishnu called you, but you ignored him. You were disrespectful to the Lord."

Garuda landed instantly and walked over aggressively.

The gods immediately stepped forward to stop them.

hold head high!
Indra's white elephant Airavata came running over with great strides, curled up his trunk, sprayed a mouthful of water into the sky, and rushed towards Garuda.

Garuda did not retreat a single step, but continued to move forward, raising his hand to push.

But his hand had not yet touched Airavata.

Swish!
The huge shadow of Arapatu suddenly disappeared.

Indra was slightly stunned and looked around.

What about the elephant?

Where's my elephant?
While the gods were stunned, Soma, the god of wine who was originally standing next to Garuda, suddenly screamed. His skin instantly became transparent, and then he disappeared into the heaven.

Swish!
"what?"

Garuda looked at his hands in astonishment, then looked around and saw that everyone else was looking at him in horror.

"Garuda, you are not going to ask God to destroy anyone you touch with your hand, right?"

The sun god Surya took two steps back and stared at Garuda vigilantly.

The gods were also suspicious.

"I didn't touch them!"

"I'm not, I didn't!"

Garuda quickly retracted his hand and said.

Indra blinked and finally responded.

"Aravasaka is gone."

"Soma is the god of wine and the moon, both symbols of wealth. When the goddess of wealth Lakshmi disappeared, they also disappeared and fell into the ocean of milk."
