Demon
Outside the city gates, it wasn't the first time Indra had witnessed these starving people stretching for miles. He wore a holy white robe that trailed on the ground, and as he walked past, countless victims turned their gazes to him.
"I can't give you effective help for the time being. I purchased some medical supplies and food from the city, and someone will distribute them later." Emperor Shitian said to the victims.
He couldn't bear to look directly at those expectant yet silent eyes. As he was about to turn and leave, a disaster victim called out to him, "Lord Indra! How can we be saved?"
"The war will be over soon, and we will usher in eternal..." Indra could not continue. He knew very well that once the war was over, these people would disappear like history.
He smiled sadly. "I can't make an absolute promise, but please believe that the hero who can end all wars and bring eternal peace will soon return. When that time comes, you can shout his name."
"May I ask, what is the hero's name?"
"Ashura, his name is Ashura," Indra said calmly. "My... Ashura." Every time Indra mentioned Ashura, his expression suddenly brightened and his smile became even more radiant.
The victims raised their arms and shouted: "Ashura! Our hero Ashura!"
Not far away in the city, the celestial beings frowned as they listened to the noise coming from outside, dissatisfied and saying, "What is Emperor Shitian trying to do? Is he rebelling?"
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Shanfa Tiandao: "Indra is also a noble of the celestial race, he will not betray us."
After hearing Shanfatian’s words, everyone felt reassured and immersed themselves in their own world of bliss again.
At the same time, under the abyss of hell, gorgeous red lotuses bloomed and burned like fire.
Asura's throne is bathed in this sea of red lotus. He has been having hallucinations frequently recently, and has seen Indra's eyes among those lotuses.
"Your Majesty! It's bad! The demon under the abyss has been alarmed and is about to break the seal." said the soldier.
"Heh." Ashura smiled nonchalantly. "Is the demon god really that scary?"
"Your Majesty...what are you doing?"
Ashura picked up the huge blood-red sword beside the throne and walked over the bones scattered on the ground towards the place where the evil energy was spreading. "How outrageous! They destroyed my lotus."
A few days later, the ghosts saw Asura coming back with a huge head of strange shape. Their Majesty was covered with scars and filled with red murderous aura.
"The demon gods are nothing to be feared. Listen carefully, I, Ashura, am the only king of the abyss."
"Asura! Ashura!" The morale of the ghosts was greatly boosted and they all shouted his name.
"Quiet." Ashura raised his hand to stop the noise.
"Your Majesty, the Asuras were once the rulers of the Ghost Realm, but now they are being oppressed by the Celestials and driven to this desolate land. Your Majesty, why don't we seize this opportunity to attack the Celestials' home in Trayastrimsa Heaven and reclaim everything!" Qingmu suggested. "I am willing to serve as the vanguard!"
"Forget it, what's so memorable about Trayastrimsa Heaven?" Asura said lazily, "That's not what my heart desires."
"Your Majesty, don't you want to plant lotus flowers all over the Celestial Clan?" Qingmu asked back.
The spiritual energy in Trayastrimsa Heaven is more abundant, and this evil fire red lotus is more suitable for growing in the celestial clan.
Asura was moved. If he killed the celestials, it would mean that he would not have to face Lianhua every day, but could meet Indra, the cunning celestial being, in person.
"Then let's fight." Ashura said.
