Swish!
As the lingering echo continued to reverberate, the gazes of all gods and great sages turned, falling upon Surya.
Some were surprised, some puzzled, some curious, their expressions varied.
Surya was perplexed and immediately stunned.
Why call on him at this time? What help could he possibly offer now?
Yet under the gaze of all the gods, he still forced a calm demeanor, puffed out his chest, raised his right hand horizontally, holding up his golden robes, looking full of dignity.
"Surya!"
"The blessing of Jīnchuáng is immortality during the day and at night, neither inside nor outside, not by the hand of humans, gods, demons, or any of a myriad of spirits."
"We need you now!"
Brahma's voice spoke.
Upon hearing this, the gods' gazes focused. Now was indeed the time when they needed Surya.
They brought their hands together, praising him one after another.
"Praise Sun God Surya!"
"Praise Surya! Exalt the Sun!"
