Chapter 60: Rage, Tandava's World-Destroying Dance 1
"Hmm~ah!"
Virini felt a slight sting and glanced at Daksha with a seductive glare.
"Brother, why have you suddenly become so rude?"
As a Prajapati who had already borne over a thousand children, Virini was puzzled by the slight sting she'd felt in such a short time.
But she inexplicably relished it.
Hiss~
Daksha groaned in pain, his face contorted.
"This reckless child, if we catch her, we'll really teach her a lesson."
Just now, Daksha felt Saint Majina running towards him. He thought she was trying to get closer to observe and learn.
Unexpectedly, she knocked him flying, taking Prinin along with her.
But Prinin was enjoying herself so much that she didn't notice.
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Prinin looked disgruntled.
Clearly engaged in sacred yoga, his brother had been distracted.
"Nothing, dear sister."
Seeing that Saint Majina had departed through the cosmic mustard seed, Daksha did not pursue the matter further. After all, the joy must continue.
Mahayuri.
Bang!
The sacred pot fell from Shiva's hand, causing the source of wisdom within it to erupt with discontent, unleashing a powerful energy that shook the entire Girathāna.
Shiva froze in shock.
His clear eyes held confusion, surprise, and anger.
After regaining his composure, Shiva stood up, his furious gaze gazing into the void.
Gazing intently, he seemed to see the Great Goddess Sakti drifting throughout the universe.
The feminine energy is omnipresent.
This is the boundless, unconscious state of the Great Goddess Sakti, drifting with the current.
"Why are you disrupting my worship of the Fire Linga!"
Shiva demanded.
But his question received no response.
Because of this, Shiva became even more furious and furious.
"To stop me from praising the Fire Linga is to destroy my faith. Without my faith, the universe has no need to exist."
Shiva roared.
It seemed as if he was threatening the infinite and unconscious Great Goddess Sakti, or perhaps rebelling against the Supreme Karma.
Shiva was different from Vishnu and Brahma.
Innocent and simple, he believed only in the Supreme Form of the Fire Linga. As for the Supreme Karma?
He had only reverence, not faith.
नष्टकरना~
नष्टकरना~
(Destruction)
At this moment, Shiva muttered something, his voice gradually growing louder, uttering mantras.
Immediately afterwards, he performed the Tandava dance of destruction in Jirosa, a precursor to the opening of his third eye.
It was also the prelude to the destruction of the universe.
Boom~~
The three thousand worlds of the universe suddenly began to tremble, even Mount Sumeru, the center of the universe, began to shake.
As Shiva's dance accelerated, the shaking of Mount Sumeru gradually turned into a swaying movement.
This caused signs of destruction to appear in the universes hanging on Mount Sumeru.
The celestial realms of birth, the celestial realms of desire, the celestial realms of wind... In the city of Suddhana, the gods, the Prajapati, and the sages all looked towards the pinnacle of the universe with horrified eyes.
That was the heaven of Mahavairocana.
The rhythmic melody produced by the Tandava dance of destruction originated from the heaven of Mahavairocana.
At this moment, all the gods and the Prajapati sages knew that Shiva had become angry.
He was going to destroy the world!
The Brahma realm. The violent shaking flung Miraculous from her lotus seat, and her silver fangs slashed through the linga, leaving Brahma grimace.
"What's going on!"
Brahma didn't blame Miraculous; he too was horrified by the devastating scene before him.
Then, his palace began to crumble.
Without the palace's barrier, the black flood simply engulfed everything.
"Father, it's the Tandava Dance of Destruction, the God of Destruction." Miraculous heard the terrifying melody.
"Shiva!"
Brahma, without hesitation, vanished from the spot.
At this point, how could he care less about Vishnu's punishment?
Leaving without permission would at most be disrespectful to Vishnu and a blasphemy against the supreme spiritual karma.
But he wouldn't go to Kilasa.
Then he would return to the embrace of the great Brahma.
Brahma didn't want to die.
In the underworld, amidst the endless abyss, beneath the dim light, the lone mountain could be seen collapsing.
The once tranquil abyss suddenly erupted into a wave a million feet high, instantly destroying an entire world.
"Sleep! Sleep! Only in sleep can one experience the grandeur of the supreme spiritual karma."
Shesha, the Taichu Dragon King, ignored the mountain collapse and the destruction of the world; he continued to coax Vishnu to sleep.
He feared the violent movement would awaken Vishnu's slumber.
The sun god Saknath sent a giant night-shining pearl and a mountain of gold.
Most importantly, Saknath was considerate enough to give him a mountain of silver.
Shesha, the Taichu Dragon King, fantasized about a better life in the future. He had no desire for Vishnu to venture out into the muddy waters.
Couldn't Shesha, the Taichu Dragon King, hear the melody of the Tandava dance of destruction?
No, he heard it all.
As the Lord of Souls, he could even sense the cosmic destruction.
Mount Sumeru was crumbling.
But he wasn't worried.
He didn't intend to wake Vishnu and intervene.
The Supreme, Great Brahma Father had already manifested within the universe, so he naturally sensed what was happening.
Preventing the destruction of the world was just a thought from the Great Brahma Father.
The Great Brahma Father didn't even need to show up; simply displaying the Lingam would cause Shiva to halt the Tandava dance of destruction.
Boom!?
Exploded.
I exploded!
Little snake, my head exploded!
Shesha, the Dragon King of the Beginning, looked in horror at his own pulverized head, then at Vishnu, who had already flown away.
"Naughty little snake, do you know how many lives you've taken? This is my punishment."
"Take me to Kilasa now," Vishnu said angrily.
Shesha, the Taichu Dragon King, burst into tears.
Can't we just live a peaceful life?
You sleep.
I'll collect my wealth.
You protect me.
I'll coax you to sleep.
Why go out and wade into this muddy water?
With the great Brahma, this universe cannot be destroyed.
But if you go out like this, you might be destroyed!
How could I have such a rebellious master like you!
Shesha, the Taichu Dragon King, thought to himself, but he didn't hesitate. He unfolded his snake head and invited Vishnu onto the bed.
Then he crossed the void and headed for Kilasa.
--
Southeast of the earth, the Mengjia Mountains.
Shanjia Palace is the residence of Qiucha, the mountain deity and deity of the Earth lineage.
"This is... the world-destroying dance of Tandava, the God of Destruction!"
Manlina, the Great Compassionate Tree King, exclaimed in horror.
She gazed toward the heavens in shock. What could have angered the great God of Destruction, Shiva?
She had even harbored the thought of annihilating the world.
"Mother, should we continue?"
Manlina, the Great Compassionate Tree King, looked at Ximi, the Earth Goddess, on the throne.
At this moment, Qiucha, the Earth lineage God, had collapsed to the ground in fear.
"Continue. With Vishnu, the God of Sustainment, and Brahma, the God of Creation, here, the universe won't be destroyed so easily."
"Qiucha, you may go to the heavens now."
"For the great Lord Brahman, you will gather countless honors. I promise that one day, you will be resurrected!"
