Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 327 A sudden murderous intention

Du Yi didn't feel any anger emanating from the earth itself; in fact, he didn't even sense any resistance from Hapisa II.

As for the anticipated siege, there was none at all. Habisa II seemed to know that ordinary attacks alone could not defeat him.

This made Du Yi even more confused. Was Habisa just making a threat?

But soon, Du Yi realized that wasn't the case.

After Habisa II went underground, Du Yi originally wanted to pursue him. After all, since no new enemies came, he should capture this unworthy descendant first. Digging was nothing to Du Yi at the moment. He only needed to think, and the soil and broken bricks would fly up on their own.

But just after the mud, broken bricks and tiles flew up, what appeared in Du Yi's sight was a large expanse of bright yellow.

The excavation could not continue; beneath the soil lay an open-pit copper mine.

"this."

Finding a ore deposit is a good thing, but right now it's undoubtedly bad luck. After all, copper ore is of no use to Du Yi and is actually hindering his digging progress.

"Then they're not here; they've already run away."

Thinking this, Du Yi transformed back into the form of a small snake.

The snake's shape made it easy for him to move around and also made it easier for Du Yi to continue his search—it's true that Habisa II has disappeared, but the city itself still exists. As long as he occupies the city, he doesn't need to worry about Habisa II not coming out.

Just as Du Yi emerged from the ruins of the magic tower, the earth suddenly cracked open.

Perhaps it was the collapse of the magic tower that triggered a small earthquake. This sudden earthquake caused the earth to crack open—and the crack was located right under Du Yi's body, about to swallow him whole.

However, this was nothing to Du Yi. His body suddenly grew larger, and he stepped across the crack, wading through it.

It seems to be just a minor incident, nothing serious.

At this point, Du Yi had not yet realized that something was wrong.

The earth cracked open, so naturally they had to move to a new place. Moreover, after Habisa II disappeared, he really needed to find someone who could keep his word. At this moment, Du Yi fully understood the last wishes of the Tatunbutos. Clearly, after dealing with their unworthy descendants, they hoped that their remaining descendants could carry on their wishes and truly go to the stars and to that wider world.

If Habisa II won't cooperate, then find someone who can. There will always be someone who wants to go to the stars. Du Yi doesn't think Habisa II's will is really that absolute.

But just as Du Yigang stepped onto a bridge, the bridge collapsed.

Perhaps due to years of disrepair, the bridge, which seemed to be in good condition, suddenly collapsed. And beneath the bridge, in the narrow river, a rusty longsword that had been thrown in at some point was now pointing directly at Du Yi's abdomen.

"Even if it really hits, it might not be able to break my scales... No, wait!"

Du Yi, who hadn't felt anything before, suddenly had his pupils contract, because he could feel that the blade of the rusty longsword was just about to pierce the gaps in his scales!
"Is it really that bad luck?"

Using his waist and abdomen, Du Yi flipped over and landed on the shore.

But despite passing the test with ease, he felt no joy. Instead, Du Yi frowned as he looked at the sword blade at the bottom of the river.

What a coincidence.

What a coincidence.

Once could be a coincidence, twice could still be considered a coincidence, but if there was a third time, then it could no longer be called a coincidence at all—and after that, Du Yi really did encounter a third one.

He was simply walking along the road when the sky suddenly darkened. At that moment, he sensed something was wrong, especially when he heard the thunder and lightning.

But before the thunder and lightning, a torrential downpour descended from the sky, soaking Du Yi completely without warning. Just as Du Yi was about to find a place to take shelter from the rain, a bolt of lightning struck him directly on the head.

This could be considered Du Yi's first true injury in history. Half of his body was emitting a burnt aroma, and his brain was completely roasted and rendered inoperable. Fortunately, this was not his true body.

It was just an avatar created by four evil gods. So what if it was injured? Even though his brain had been roasted, Du Yi's soul was not harmed in the slightest. He could still forcibly control his body with his consciousness, even if it was just like a puppet, lifting up the body itself.

However, when he saw the dark clouds in the sky that were still gathering lightning, Du Yi's expression darkened.

"The anger from the earth...?"

Clearly, this time, the planet itself really wanted him dead.

After all, his death is a great thing for the planet itself. As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things come to life. Moreover, his current body is much larger than any whale.

As long as he dies here, the entire planet will immediately receive a large amount of nutrients, and even the Netherworld soil that he holds in his hands will return to the planet itself.

"As long as you don't think about leaving, none of this will happen."

Although the planet itself did not say such things to him, Du Yi had already felt that unspoken weight of misfortune after repeated misfortunes.

This time, his enemy was no longer some god in the starry sea.

Rather, it is the earth itself beneath our feet.

"How to fight this?"

Du Yi was also somewhat confused for a moment. After all, the difference between the two was not just a difference in level, but the most direct difference in dimension. No matter how strong he was, strong enough to move mountains and overturn seas, he was just moving things on the planet and could not make any difference to the planet itself.

On the contrary, if we consider the planet beneath our feet as an enemy, then it is like this now.

Everything in sight...

"……etc."

It was at this moment that Du Yi suddenly thought of a question.

He has already endured fifteen near-death experiences, and the snake body he uses is beyond dead—but clearly, this attack cannot actually harm him.

It's just an avatar. No matter how he dies, it has nothing to do with his real body. If the planet itself really wanted to attack him, it should have directly torn his real body apart.

"Is it that you don't want to?"

With this thought in mind, Du Yi's consciousness returned to his enormous physical form.

The massive mountain-like body was already covered with a thick layer of soil, with various plants growing on it, making it look like a real mountain. But the area around this mountain was completely undamaged, and everything was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

The planet did not actually harm his physical body.

"It's not necessarily because they don't want to."

Deep in his consciousness, Du Yi vaguely sensed something.

"Most likely, no."

Du Yi felt the warmth emanating from beneath his body.

A familiar consciousness approached, seemingly wanting to recount its many years of hard work. After a moment of recollection, Du Yi recognized the source of this consciousness.

Those were the seeds of creation that he had once planted in a flowerpot.
