He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 206 What does it mean that Emperor Shitian is truly preparing to run away?

"After years of effort, the current state of Hinduism in India throughout human history is sufficient to support the expenditures of our Hindu pantheon."

"And there's even a slight surplus. As long as we don't live as extravagantly as we do in the Heavenly Army, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"For our Indian pantheon, the positions of the heavenly army and the twelve guardian deities no longer hold much significance."

Indra said very seriously.

While serving as the Lord of the Heavenly Army, Indra did not do nothing.

Since Kali Yoga severely damaged the Indian pantheon, the Yellow Emperor, in gratitude for her contributions to the Little Garden, and also because many pantheons owed the Indian pantheon a considerable debt of gratitude, sought to express his gratitude.

This allowed the Hindu gods to dominate the heavenly army and replenish their merits from maintaining the order of the small garden, allowing the Hindu gods, who had been severely damaged, to catch their breath and recover.

The Hindu pantheon also expressed its sincerest gratitude to those who lent a helping hand, sharing in the glory of the heavenly army, and they were quite dutiful in managing the heavenly army.

However, the current Celestial Army is no longer as cooperative as it was when facing the dystopia, and with the passage of time and the gradual stagnation of the pan-human history era, it has become even more difficult to maintain its current state.

The Heavenly Army has now become one of the few places where many divine groups can earn merit.

This led to a further acceleration of corruption within the Heavenly Army.

How much does the current Heavenly Army resemble the one from thousands of years ago?

Watching those people arguing and even fighting over the merits gained from transcending absolute evil, Indra couldn't help but ask.

Power can indeed easily corrupt people's hearts. How many of these gods and Buddhas in the heavens are without worldly desires?
However, just like two hundred years ago when humanity faced the final trial of absolute evil that broke free of its seal, when the news was released...

Only the twelve Heavenly Guardians stepped forward immediately, disregarding costs and sacrifices, in an attempt to slow down the advance of absolute evil.

Indra asked himself honestly, and he knew that his Indian pantheon had never wronged anyone and had absolutely lived up to the duties of the heavenly army.

The absolute evil will be resurrected, and the information that His simulated star map is ineffective against human cosmology and Zoroastrian deities was something they discovered through trial and error.

In the end, if he hadn't unleashed his full power and single-handedly held off Azdaha, the twelve guardian deities would likely have all perished there.

Not to mention, in the subsequent final battles against Arcadia and Azdaha, the Moon Rabbit clan suffered heavy losses—they were reduced to a single child, Black Rabbit, in the battle, and the pure-blooded Moon Rabbit lineage was practically extinct.
Just like the fire dragon clan, is it that he doesn't want to care about the fire dragon clan? It's just that the Indian pantheon has also suffered heavy losses and can't spare the energy.

Moreover, there are also problems with the efficiency within the Tianjun organization. Who is the process being dragged out for so long?

"But what should be done about the sandbox garden? Who should be entrusted with maintaining its order?"

Marta finally snapped out of her shock, her face turning ashen as she looked at Indra and asked.

"But is that any different from maintaining the current Heavenly Army?"

Indra tilted his head, looking at Mata with a puzzled expression.

"Do you think that while the Heavenly Army is still around, the gods on the upper levels will stop causing trouble, or the demon kings on the lower levels will settle down?"

"Or is it that we have the ability to restrain the gods? Or that we can win humanity's final trial?"

Upon hearing these questions, Marta opened her mouth but did not respond.

She had already vaguely guessed what Indra meant.

No matter what the Heavenly Army was like in the past, or how powerful its responsibilities were, the Heavenly Army of today is no longer the Heavenly Army of the past.

With their Hindu gods fighting and dying in front, those guys behind them had been living in comfort for far too long. The heavenly army wasn't the heavenly army of the Hindu gods, but the heavenly army of the gods of the miniature garden...

After serving as heavenly warriors for so many years, it's time for the Indian pantheon to relinquish their duties and retire or recuperate.

Even the wounds she sustained two hundred years ago haven't fully healed yet. You must know, she is the Earth Mother Goddess, famous for her vitality.

"But are you sure that old Zeus will take over the duties of the heavenly army?"

At this moment, Mata suddenly realized something and asked in confusion. She seemed to understand why Indra had chosen to lead the Hindu gods to withdraw from the heavenly army at this time.

This is the only chance for the Indian gods to escape from the heavenly army.

According to the succession mechanism previously agreed upon within the Heavenly Army, a wartime succession mechanism will be activated when a major event occurs that prevents the Heavenly Army from operating normally.

Just like now, Azidhakaha is about to break free from his seal, but the Hindu pantheon is unable to take action and fulfill its duties as the heavenly army because of the evil dragon war two hundred years ago.

Then the duties of the Heavenly Army will be delegated to the gods in order of rank.

Following the Hindu pantheon is the Greek pantheon.

As for the Chinese gods, the original heavenly army was led and organized by the Yellow Emperor to fight against dystopia, and they have already fulfilled their duties.

After the Greek pantheon, comes the Cross pantheon, and then the Egyptian pantheon...

"But what does this have to do with us? All we need to know is that we can get out of here."

Indra irresponsibly said that the current Hindu pantheon could not withstand any greater storms.

Moreover, they have held onto the Heavenly Army for too long; it's time for them to hand over their positions to newcomers.

In any case, Indra felt that he had done a good job of leading the heavenly army for so long, which was worthy of the Yellow Emperor who entrusted the heavenly army to him, as well as the merits he had made, the gods above, and the residents below.

The only one he felt sorry for was his companion, the Moon Rabbit.

Now? He just wants to be irresponsible for once, to completely give up for once.

Upon hearing this, Marta sighed deeply, as if relieved of the pressure that had been lifted, or as lost and bewildered as if she had lost her goal. She sat on the sofa and looked at Indra with a sense of helplessness.

"So we just ran away like cowards?"

Marta couldn't help but ask, for some reason, she always felt a sense of frustration.

They never flinched when facing Kali Yoga, the dystopia, or the absolute evil, but now, facing a weakened Az Dakkaha about to break free, they are retreating.
"My old bones can no longer fight alongside you to the bitter end."

Indra shrugged and said calmly.

In layman's terms, if the Hindu pantheon were to collapse again, he wouldn't be able to save it...

Previously, when the Hindu gods faced Kali Yoga, he was able to disperse his spiritual energy and save them. But that time, it almost completely depleted his reserves, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Not to mention the injuries he sustained two hundred years ago from Azdahah's severe wounds. The injuries from the final trial of humanity are not so easy to heal; they require a lot of time and effort to complete.

Now, let alone Zeus, without using the Brahma Spear, he can at best fight Shiva to a draw.

You should know that two hundred years ago, before he was seriously injured by the evil dragon, he was able to fight Black Heaven and not be at a disadvantage.

Upon hearing this, Marta fell silent. Although she was very unhappy, it was indeed the truth. This group of Hindu gods belonged to Indra, and this heavenly army belonged to Indra. Without Indra, this group of Hindu gods would be a disorganized mess—no, even calling it a disorganized mess would be too kind.

Moreover, the upcoming Absolute Evil Azdakha and the Second Solar Sovereignty War are not things they can handle right now.

Everyone knows how brutal the last solar sovereignty war was.

"So this is the only way forward?"

Marta sighed helplessly. Having worked in the Heavenly Army for so long, she must have been somewhat idealistic, just like the White Demon, hoping that the Little Garden would become a better place.

"Unless the next Lord of the Heavenly Army is determined to make the Little Garden better."

Di Shitian shrugged his shoulders, of course he knew that this was just wishful thinking.

Whether he can successfully abdicate is another matter. Let's talk about other things after he successfully leads the Indian pantheon to retreat.

In any case, Indra didn't think that old guy Zeus would take over the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army so easily; there would definitely be a lot of wrangling and bickering.

I just don't know which old guy will end up taking the blame.

In the hall outside the main meeting hall of the Pantheon.

In the spacious hall, people came and went, and none of them had a strength of less than five figures; the vast majority were four-figure level beings at the God Realm level.

Wearing a fitted black suit and dressed quite formally, Su Nian was waiting for Bai Yaksha's arrival at the entrance of the hall.

After all, this was his first time attending the so-called Council of Gods as a ruler of the hierarchy.

Although the hierarchy rulers only govern the lower levels, their status within the miniature garden is actually quite high; they even hold relatively prominent positions within the Council of Gods.

In comparison, only the established and renowned chief gods among the great gods can be compared to this.

"That's strange. Didn't White Demon tell me to wait for her at the door? Why haven't I seen a single person after all this time?"

Su Nian couldn't help but mutter a few words, after all, Bai Yacha was going to hand over the position of the ruler of the entire hierarchy to him, although he was also very unwilling.

If he had a choice, he would definitely refuse.

But who told White Demon to tempt him with the sovereignty of the sun again? Is the sovereignty of the sun really that important? But for White Demon, it doesn't seem to be that important.

It's purely symbolic, with more significance than practical value.

But it's different for Su Nian. Sasha still needs the Zodiac to complete the spiritual awakening of Athena.

He already has Dragon, Pisces, Leo, and Sagittarius. If he can ask White Yaksha for one more, then he will have collected one-third of the zodiac.

Just then, a clear, cheerful voice rang in Su Nian's ears.

"Hey, Su Nian, who are you waiting for?"

Su Nian looked to her side and saw a golden figure that had appeared.

She was a blonde, blue-eyed woman with an olive wreath on her head and a Greek-style off-the-shoulder white robe, exuding elegance and sophistication.

Looking at the woman, Su Nian's expression froze for a moment, then he said with a slightly strange expression...
"Athena, what brings you here?"

Athena, one of the twelve Olympian gods of Greece, is the goddess of war and wisdom, and also the protector of heroes.

She was renowned in the miniature garden, and was even regarded as the female ruler of the Greek gods, the most promising woman to become the next Greek god-king.

Of course, Su Nian and Athena were both familiar and unfamiliar with each other.

In a sense, this was the first time he had met Athena in her capacity as "Athena".

Even Su Nian didn't expect Athena to meet her in her true form, especially in a public setting like the Council of Gods.

Just then, Athena appeared in front of Su Nian and spoke in a very cheerful tone.

"How was it? Were you pleasantly surprised?"

"Absolutely not."

Su Nian's lips twitched, then she straightened her clothes and said with a hint of disdain.

"By the way, what brings you to the Council of Gods?"

The implication is, instead of properly managing your status as Knight among the Egyptian gods, why are you coming here to harass me?
Aren't you afraid of being discovered and having everything you've built go down the drain?
Moreover, rather than scheming against Athena, he preferred to exchange ideas with Sasha about developing his cosmos and learn the Gold Saint techniques of the Saints.

"Is that so? That's a real shame."

Athena's face broke into a pleasant smile, as if she found Su Nian's reaction very amusing.

Then Athena's smile faded, replaced by a hint of congratulations.

"As for why I'm here? It's to congratulate you on becoming the ruler of the totalitarian class."

The news that White Yaksha was preparing to resign was not something White Yaksha himself hid; it was already semi-public information, and it would have been easy for Athena to find out about it with her methods.

As she spoke, Athena smiled and took off the olive wreath from her own head, placing it on Su Nian's head. She adjusted the position for Su Nian and whispered something in Su Nian's ear.

"This is a gift."

Just then, a series of exclamations came from the doorway.

"No way..."

"how is this possible?"

"Athena actually has this kind of fetish?"

Countless people who were about to enter the so-called Council of Gods paused, looking incredulously at Athena, who was standing very close to Su Nian.

In particular, a certain gossip goddess with white hair and golden eyes couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim in surprise.

"Athena actually likes older men dating younger women?"

"But isn't this tender grass a little too tender?"

Keep in mind that Su Nian is only a few months old, yet she has already caught Athena's eye.

Marta couldn't help but feel sad for Su Nian's future.

She decided to write a long article about it, her intuition telling her that it was newsworthy enough to make the front page.
