Mythology: The Heavenly Emperor Is Off Duty Today

Description

The work focuses on the main storyline of Indra, the Heavenly Emperor, resisting fate after transmigration, and unfolds the narrative by deconstructing the classic cyclic pattern of Hindu mythology. Tired of the traditional reincarnation cycle of "ascetic practice—bestowing blessings—attacking the Heavenly Realm," Indra refuses to fulfill his duties as the Heavenly Emperor, triggering the intervention of the Trimurti—Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. With a humorous tone, the work subverts the order of the divine realm, demonstrates the conflict between power discipline and individual will, and shapes the image of a Heavenly Emperor who resists his predetermined fate. Through the reinterpretation of the mythological system, it explores the opposition between free will and determinism.
