Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 265 Unity is strength
When Casaloran looked up at the enormous flowerpot again, he realized that things were starting to get complicated.

Casalon had also wondered how David Day would disgust him—whether he would use bizarre methods from the God of Destruction or continue to spew out his evil poison—he considered many possibilities, a thousand, even ten thousand possible outcomes.

But I never expected it to take this form.

"...Why don't you just plant that thing directly?"

Taking a deep breath, Casaloan asked David Day in return.

Casalon was well aware of the consequences of continuing the creation process; it would be a disaster for the entire planet, and even Casalon himself might die here. But in any case, it was only a possibility that he might die here. Casalon had attacked the World Tree before, and no matter how terrible the consequences were, they were still within his control.

But now...

"hiss……"

Casaloran's teeth, along with the wound on his chest, began to ache.

Even if a Seed of Creation planted on the ground grows to a great size, it will only be a World Tree that drains the planet's nutrients. But what a Seed of Creation planted in a flowerpot could grow is something he really dares not imagine.

In particular, when he saw from afar that the giant snake in the distance was trying to cut its scales and drip its blood into the flowerpot.

"...Let's unite, I agree."

Gritting his teeth, Casaloran finally made this difficult decision.

After all, the oracle of the God of Courage also said that one should help the weak. Now that David Day has lost the Seed of Creation, he has indeed become the weaker party. So it is not a problem for him to help David Day, and it does not count as going against the oracle of the God of Courage.

After all, David Day has disrupted the spiritual energy field near this planet, and he can't contact the God of Courage. As long as no new oracle is issued, he can just follow the old one.

"Besides, giving these local natives a trial can also help them build courage..."

Casaloran tried to rationalize the situation.

"But we need to be careful about the scale. It would be best to push David Day to the front so that when he falls, I can step in and be the savior... Wait a minute, does that actually seem like a viable option?"

It was at this moment that Casaloran suddenly realized that this matter seemed surprisingly feasible.

It was at this moment that a message came from David Day's consciousness once again.

"Are you plotting to harm me? I can sense your malice."

"How could that be? We're comrades now."

Casalon laughed out loud, cursing inwardly.

These damned Ignivas are far too perceptive. Before he could even formulate his plan, this damned David Day had already figured it out.

Fortunately, although he wasn't an Ignivas and didn't possess that innate level of consciousness, his extensive combat experience meant his perception was quite good. Even if someone was a hundred miles away, as long as they harbored murderous intent towards him, he could still sense it...

Are you also plotting to harm me?

Sensing the faint killing intent, Casaloran's brows furrowed sharply.

Is this how you ask me to cooperate?

"Also? You just said 'also,' right?"

David Day's consciousness returned once more.

"I was just bluffing, did you really want to get me killed?"

The Ignivas are truly despicable; they are a race more cunning than vipers.

Despite their inward rage, Casaloran outwardly maintained a calm and collected demeanor—and after this incident, they at least confirmed one thing: even if they were to cooperate, they would have to be extra cautious.

Just like now, when David Day suggested that the two sides should reunite, Casaloan immediately rejected the idea.

Indeed, the two sides combined would be even stronger, but how could Casaloran be sure that his chosen champions wouldn't be corrupted into something else by the war fortress brought by David Day?

When Casaloran suggested boosting the fighting strength of David Day's men, David Day naturally refused outright, considering the terrifying influence of the God of Courage.

Therefore, this so-called cooperation can only remain lip service for the time being. They can't even achieve the most basic mutual trust, so they really can't find any direction for cooperation.

"But in this collaboration, someone has to take the lead..."

At that moment, both David Day and Casaloan fell into deep thought.

Immediately afterwards, they all thought of the same possibility.

Since no one is willing to take the lead, why not just find someone who is willing to take the lead?

Although that might disrupt the plans of the two gods behind them, plans first need to be able to be carried out—now that the Seed of Creation, such a deadly weapon, has already fallen into the hands of that ancient serpent, it's no time to care about such trivial matters.

Moreover, the targets they bring in may not actually disrupt the two gods' plans.

After all, what that god wanted was completely different from what the two gods behind them wanted.

So, under Casaloron's instruction, the chosen champions performed their familiar rituals under the cover of night, while in the distant deep forests, David Day began his indescribable acts—and after the summoning was launched on both sides at the same time, consciousness finally appeared in their hearts.

The mere appearance of that consciousness was enough to give them an indescribable joy, making them want to immerse themselves in it.

Fortunately, Casaloan and David Day also had their own identities, and with a battle cry and a mouthful of mud, they both came back to their senses.

And that consciousness finally realized something was wrong.

"You who don't know how to enjoy life... what are you trying to do?"

"We are going to save the world."

Casaloan spoke with righteous indignation.

"Great God of Desire...Pleasure, our world is being ravaged by evil. The wicked serpent has even stolen terrible weapons of war, preparing to destroy our homeland."

"We need your messenger to slay that evil serpent and bring joy back to this land."

It was at this moment that David Day also spoke up.

"This is our home, and we want to make this planet a true paradise."

……

After a moment of silence, the consciousness sent another message.

Although the creatures here had previously rejected His gifts, since they persisted, He was willing to send messengers to try again.
