Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

……

At the same time, within the territory.

"Praise be to Narayana."

Just as Antoka stumbled and fell into a wilderness, and sat down to rest on a rock, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

This prompted Antoga, who had just run out, to stand up and look around: "Who is it?"

"Praise be to Narayana."

Naluotuo continued, his smile unchanged for millions of years.

“I am Narayana, Lord of the Himalayas, the Great Deity, and a humble follower of Brahma, Narathu.”

"Na Luotuo?"

Antoga paused, then asked, somewhat puzzled, "But I didn't feel anyone picking me up. When did you arrive, and what are you doing here? Don't pick me up, go away."

"If you want to find out where Luo Tuo came from and where it went, you'll have to spend your whole life."

However, Antoga didn't mince words when Naratso made fun of him.

He continued, his expression serious, "Please answer my question."

"I was traveling through the Three Realms when I happened to meet you."

"……I see."

Antoka had no doubts, so he thought that since the other party had introduced himself, he should also introduce himself.

“I am the blind Antoka, but I am not afraid of anyone, nor do I want to hurt anyone. I am telling the truth.”

Anthaka's string of words seemed a bit strange, but Narathu knew from Brahma that he was very sensitive, so it wasn't surprising.

"Then what do you want to do, blind Anthaka?"

"...Yes, I want to become the strongest king in the world, the most powerful king."

"What a fresh target."

Naroto nodded, “But those who aspire to become the most powerful king in the world must all worship Brahma.”

"Brahma?"

"Yes."

"Can't Cupid do it?"

Antoka's sudden question almost left Naratso speechless.

God of Love? Kama? A deity who isn't even one of the Eight Guardian Gods...

It's not that Narathu looked down on Kama, but rather that Kama didn't have much of a presence among the gods. His most prominent presence was when Indra asked him to go to the Himalayas to connect the Himalayan goddess and Shiva.

While it's certainly possible, it still feels somewhat lacking, considering that Vishnu spent 999000 years to receive the blessing of the sun god Surya...

"I'm afraid that won't work. As far as I know, no king worships the god of love."

Naroto quickly skipped the topic, “But the blessings bestowed by Brahma are countless. Once you obtain Brahma’s blessing, you can conquer not only this world, but the entire Three Realms. However, obtaining Brahma’s blessing is not easy. You must undergo rigorous ascetic practices for it.”

The immortal paused, then raised his hands and continued speaking.

"This requires you to challenge your physical and mental limits, and even surpass them."

Antoka hesitated for a moment, but in order to fulfill his wish, he resolutely nodded:

"I will do it. I will complete this rigorous ascetic practice. Once I succeed, Brahma will surely bless me. This is no joke!"

To this, Narotso smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Praise be to Narayana."

After this, Andoka began his ascetic practices toward Brahma.

Where he stood, the great river had dried up in the blink of an eye, turning into a vast expanse of molten lava, much like the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields.

And in the molten lava, Antoga stands alone like a golden rooster.

Praise be to Brahma!

Praise be to Brahma!

Antoka stands on one leg like a golden rooster, hands clasped together, murmuring something.

However, perhaps because he had not seen any movement from Brahma for a long time, Anthaka became somewhat irritated. He stared at the fire in the fire ritual used for asceticism, where a dim figure glared angrily and let out a low growl.

"Brahma!"

Antoga drew his small sword. "I will offer you my blood!"

The next moment, he slashed his palm, clenched his fist, and blood flowed continuously.

However, Brahma still hadn't arrived, so Anthaka continued:

"It seems you're still not satisfied, Brahma."

So Anthaka began to carve his own flesh, an act that can be seen as an offering of his own flesh and blood during ascetic practice.

"Brahma, I will offer these eyes as well!"

Then, Antoga slashed at his eyes, and blood flowed from them. The lacerations stretched across his already blind eyes, and the gushing crimson blood formed a boiling lake of blood in the center of the lava pool.

finally--

Swish!

Golden rays of light condensed and shone in all directions, solidifying and calming the boiling magma, which then transformed into lush green grass. The golden light also fell upon Antoga, healing his bleeding eyes.

Antoka is still blind, but he can feel the vibrant life around him.

He slowly raised his head to face the brilliant divine light shining down from above and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... Please forgive me, Brahma, I do not mean disrespect to you. I laugh because I find it ironic. These eyes are of no use to me, yet they become my best offering during sacrifices."

“Anthaka! Because your rigorous asceticism has been completed and you have successfully pleased me, you can ask me for a blessing.”

Brahma spoke slowly and deliberately.

“I also know that you have been living in darkness until now. Would you like to ask for sight as a blessing to start a new life?”

Antoka raised his head and slowly clenched his fist.

“No, Brahma! I don’t need it. This darkness has been with me since my birth, and its complete end can only come after my death. I hate the light in the world, yet everything forces me to remember it, forces me to accept it. I would rather spend my life in this darkness!”

"I do wish to see, but sight in this world depends on light. Grant me sight, but grant me sight through hearing!"

"Very well, I grant you sight through hearing, and everything you can hear will appear as a perceptible image in your mind."

With a smile, Brahma raised his holy right hand, and a faint radiance echoed with his voice, instantly entering Anthaka's body.

"Hahaha, very good, Brahma."

Anthaka smiled again, “But Brahma, this is not the blessing I asked for, but the one you want me to ask for.”

Anthaka played a little trick. If Brahma had been strictly following the rules, he probably would have left immediately. But Brahma thought that Anthaka was related to the reincarnation of Gavia, so having another one would barely offset the asceticism.

Therefore, Brahma, with his snow-white hair, lowered his gaze to the ascetic Anthaka below and said softly:

"Speak, tell me what you want."

Then, Anthaka said, word by word, "I want to conquer death, to live forever, and I can obtain everything else by myself, Brahma."

"No, Antoka, I cannot grant you immortality. Ask for something else."

"Brahma!"

Anthaka gritted his teeth and shouted, "It seems my ascetic practices are not enough. Is that why? Brahma, you refuse to bless me, yet you impose your own ideas on me."

“Anthaka, I cannot grant you immortality as a blessing, but you can decide for yourself how you die, and that is what I can give you.”

"Hahaha, if that's the case, Brahma."

Anthaka raised his hand high, pointing at Brahma, "My death will only occur when I willingly choose light rather than life. The day I truly thirst for light will be my death day!"

At that moment, Brahma raised his right hand again, and divine light radiated from him, flowing into Anthaka's body.

"as you wish!"

Brahma spoke slowly.

His voice was sacred and majestic, resounding endlessly, traversing countless voids, and echoing continuously throughout this realm.

Rumble!

A terrifying thunderclap descended from the sky, accompanied by a continuous torrent of lightning.

Finally, Brahma gave Andoga a deep look before disappearing from the land.

hoo hoo hoo!

Antoka opened his arms and let out a low roar.

An invisible wave of energy erupted from his body, instantly turning the surrounding green grassland into ashes. Terrifying earthquakes struck one after another, the earth cracked open, and countless molten rocks burst forth from the ground.

"Hahahaha! I've finally succeeded! I'm going to give that incredibly beautiful woman to Moa!"

Antoka laughed loudly.

His arduous practice and the blessings he received from Brahma, besides aiming to become the king of the world, were primarily motivated by a desire to repay Moa, the alias of Gavia.

As long as he becomes the king of the three realms, Moa would be willing to become the official god of love, let alone the Heavenly Emperor or the Asura King!

And the woman's figure beside the figure in the fire and the one he feared.

In Antoga's eyes, it was so beautiful that it was perfect to give it to Moa! As for that figure, he would surely kill it with his own hands!

The Third Beast Jpg.

Chapter 309 A surprising fact... Yeah, right.

Like all the Asuras who receive blessings, Anthaka, who received Brahma's blessing, was to become the Asura King and lead his Asuras to attack the heavens once again, seizing Indra's throne as the King of Gods.

Indeed, that was what Anthaka thought, but at this moment, having received the blessing from Brahma that "everything you can hear will appear as a perceptible image in your mind," he did not immediately return to teach the Asuras who wanted to kill him a lesson, but instead came to a city in the human realm.

Antoka remembered that Moa, as the agent of the god of love, had been traveling between the human world and the earth world for many years, so he wondered if he could meet Moa again since he hadn't seen him for a long time.

So he stood on the roof of a building, and amidst the cacophony of conversation, the scenery of the place gradually came to mind for Antoka.

A whole bunch of dilapidated, messy buildings looked as if they had been crammed into the cracks of the city. Many places were filled with the pungent smell of lust, money, and alcohol. Even outside the city, there were filthy people who ate scraps...

Once, Antoka thought that Moa was able to persist in spreading 'love' in the human world, so humans must be better than Asuras. But now it seems that humans are not so good either. They look somewhat troublesome and dirty, which is quite an uncomfortable sight.

The gods naturally understood the reason for this, because the era had entered the Three-Part Era. In the Perfect Era, no one needed to work, and food and other necessities were readily available. However, in the Three-Part Era, people had to start working to survive and were enthusiastic about sacrifices, pursuing results through rituals.

After some conversion, it's roughly equivalent to moving from the Golden Age of Greece to the Silver Age.

"Will I be able to see him? Or will I not be able to..."

Anthaka asked himself this question dozens, even hundreds of times.

Then, Antoka heard the sounds of plants and distant animals, which made him very happy because it meant that Moa had come. In the past, when he heard these sounds, it was when he met Moa.

In the past, he could only hear the voice, but now he could already picture the image of 'Moya' in his mind.

A person with a straight back, silver hair, and holding a bow and arrow made of many colors, with a cockatoo on his shoulder, appears at first glance to be as perfect as a sculpture in terms of physique and bone structure, with an artistic beauty from his brow to the tip of his nose...

Especially those eyes, a beautiful blue that seemed almost unreal. Coupled with their shimmering brilliance, they were not only works of art for connoisseurs but also possessed a kind of life-like beauty—a beauty that felt dreamlike and ethereal.

Perhaps this was some kind of added bonus; for Antoga, no matter what, 'Moya,' the only one who had accompanied him since childhood, was the best in his heart. Therefore, with the excitement of finally seeing her, Antoga came to Moya and said somewhat incoherently:

"I'm sorry, something happened that caused me to be delayed. Please forgive me."

“It’s alright, but Antoka, I heard they say there was a fire somewhere near you—”

"Yes, there was a fire."

Antoga's face lit up with rage. "Those guys wanted to kill me! They even went so far as to set my house on fire..."

Gavia could understand Antoga's anger; after all, he had almost died, and anyone would be understandably angry.

But he also understood that since Anthaka hadn't appeared before him for so long after this incident, he must have been undergoing arduous cultivation during that time to earn Brahma's blessing. He guessed that Anthaka had probably succeeded by now and that's why he was appearing before him.

Well, although his companionship over the years seemed to have improved Antoga's heart, this 'Child of Darkness,' Gavia couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of the old Water Bearer...

After all, under normal circumstances, after being blessed, Anthaka became the Asura King and then became interested in his own mother, Parvati, wanting to possess her. Even after learning from his Asura mentor Sukara that he was a derivative of Shiva, he did not give up. It can only be said that love had clouded his judgment.

However, what Gavial is unaware of is that Anthaka has already seen Parvati's figure beforehand. Anthaka has been afraid of fire since childhood, and the figure in the light is Shiva. The woman's figure next to Shiva's figure on the night of the fire is naturally Parvati.
