Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 445 The more the better
The emergence of a new race on the planet's surface was a momentous event that naturally reached the senses of Du Yi and the Seed of Creation.

Neither Du Yi nor the Seed of Creation were surprised by this kind of thing; if it had happened a while earlier, they might have been quite taken aback.

But having already clashed so many times, how could they not know who was coming?

"Sure enough, something new has been delivered again."

After several encounters, Du Yi and the Seed of Creation had come to understand their opponent's habits.

The being named Upo Salas rarely shows itself in person, and even when it does, it never engages in combat; it simply summons helpers to achieve its goals.

From this perspective, it's somewhat like a type of summoning specialization.

However, according to the young Ignivas singing bowl, Upo Salas's true skill was not in summoning—he was a master specializing in the realm of souls, and what he did was less about summoning and more about throwing out those races he had brainwashed as henchmen.

"In other words, while sending out the races at hand to do things, they absorb new races and fight continuously, thus forming a perpetual motion like a snowball."

Du Yi and the Seed of Creation have already understood this set of rules.

So the next step is to utilize this pattern.

Ubo Salas doesn't fight head-on, and neither do they. As for what race the other side intends to use to harm them... that's actually a good thing.

"The more races you deploy, the better."

"After all, these living beings also need to survive."

Just like those half-dwarves who were dropped onto the surface, they began to build their dwellings. While trying to dig through the frozen soil, these half-dwarves built semi-basement houses for themselves on the hills on the surface.

Clearly, these half-dwarfs originally came from cold environments, which directly led them to know how to live and keep warm in extremely cold conditions.

And all of this also came into the perception of the Seed of Creation.

The Seed of Creation naturally copied these ideas. As the saying goes, life always finds its own way. Now that someone has already paved the way, there is no need to refuse.

And the benefits brought by these half-dwarves don't stop there.

Although such things are extremely difficult to detect, it was after these half-dwarves appeared that the heat of the entire planet increased slightly.

It was an extremely minute detail, so minute that it was imperceptible. Even for Du Yi, a cold-blooded animal, it still seemed like an illusion.

But Du Yi knew very well that this was not an illusion.

Or, even if it's just an illusion, we should try a few more times.

"Not enough, just these half-dwarves aren't enough."

With this thought in mind, Du Yi looked at the Seed of Creation.

"What should we do if we want our old rivals to continue deploying other races?"

"Let him experience a failure first."

The Seed of Creation immediately understood the giant serpent's meaning.

Subsequently, a large number of roots blocked the tunnel dug by the dwarves.

This initially angered the half-dwarves, since they had only just begun digging downwards. However, it also confirmed one thing for them: their perception was correct.

So the half-dwarves immediately summoned the Ignivas and asked for their fire support.

The Ignivas didn't care much about this; it was just something they did casually.

The excess roots were naturally burned away, and the half-dwarf's project resumed. But the roots grew faster than the half-dwarf's digging speed, blocking not only the downward tunnels but also the dwarf's houses one after another.

So the half-dwarves had no choice but to repeatedly ask the Ignivas for help.

Although it was just a small favor, after it happened many times, the Ignivas people started to get a little impatient.

"What's wrong with you?"

The Ignivas leading the group frowned.

"Can't they handle it themselves? Why do we always have to come?"

"This……"

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and after repeatedly helping others, these half-dwarfs couldn't say anything.

So after much deliberation, they decided to offer some benefits as payment for the work of these Ignivas.

"We are willing to give you our land, as long as you are willing to make a move."

The half-dwarf gave this explanation.

This, however, provoked the anger of the Ignivas.

"Your land? This is our land! Even if we've long since given up on it, it's still our land!"

It was at this time that the half-dwarves learned that this desolate and lifeless planet was originally the home planet of these Ignivas.

The Ignivas were known for their fiery tempers, and now that someone had said something wrong, they were even more unforgiving. In addition, these half-dwarves had been quite annoying for a while, which led many Ignivas to think that they might as well just kill them all.

As for the half-dwarves, they might have been a little in the wrong at first, but they quickly realized what was going on.

"This planet is undeveloped. We are the ones who brought civilization to this land. This land should rightfully belong to us. As for those Ignivas..."

"If they truly love this land, why would they leave?"

"After they left, this land became unclaimed, and it should rightfully be ours to take!"

In just one discussion, these half-dwarfs found theoretical support for themselves.

Although these half-dwarves did not immediately turn against the Ignivas due to their formidable fighting prowess, they harbored a deep grudge against them.

With this in mind, these half-dwarves even began to secretly learn the cultivation techniques of the Ignivas.

The half-dwarves thought that if they could become that strong, they wouldn't have to put up with the attitudes of these Ignivas anymore.

So, amidst this strange humiliation, these half-dwarves actually managed to develop something of their own.

"The fire of hatred guides us!"

Instead of clasping their hands together, they clashed fists together, and in the hidden mountain cave, an arrogant aura began to ignite on the body of a half-dwarf.

"Yes! This is it! This is exactly what I want!"

On this day, the first half-dwarf completed a partial deciphering of the Ignivas's spiritual system.

He became the first dwarf king and started the first war against the Ignivas.
