Once upon a time there was a greedy snake

However, to those who do not believe in this god of life, or even regard him as the god of plague or destruction, that pot of soup is simmering with endless plagues and the root of all destruction.

This led to a strange saying circulating among many races in the Starsea: if you see a place where thick soup is being simmered in a large pot, you must leave immediately and never linger.

The reason, of course, is that the act of simmering this thick soup coincides with the legend of the god of destruction, and is very likely to attract the attention of that god of destruction.

Although the probability is extremely small, even a casual glance is enough to cause the deaths of people in an area.

As for now...

"hiss……"

Looking at the sight of people being boiled alive in a large cauldron in the distance, Ilios's forehead began to sweat.

This is no longer a matter of probability; it's a complete replica of the actions of that god of destruction. This act of boiling life in a cauldron is exactly the same as the legend.

It can even be described as a kind of ritual.

Just like those followers of the God of Destruction who, while chanting "for life and the future," start to cook up viruses, such behavior will definitely attract the attention of the God of Destruction, and may even attract the consciousness of the God of Destruction.

"I, this, you, are not..."

Elias was already covered in sweat. He had considered what methods the ancient serpent would use to deal with it, but he never expected that the ancient serpent would actually create such a huge scene. As for now, he no longer needed to think about destruction or anything like that; the ancient serpent itself had already led the entire planet to its demise.

Directly attracting the consciousness of the God of Destruction, this is simply...

"Wait! What is that!"

At that moment, Elias's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Not just consciousness, they even sent a clone!"

……

While Du Yi was controlling the heat to simmer the soup, trying to keep the soup at a suitable temperature so as not to scald the people to death.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared beside the soup pot.

To say he was familiar with him was a bit of a stretch. Du Yi could only vaguely recall that he seemed to have seen such a person somewhere before—after all, the other person's broad body and thick belly were too distinctive.

But if he really thought about it...

Du Yi couldn't recall ever knowing such a person.

"who are you?"

Du Yi looked at this newly appeared figure, and he was at least certain that this person was definitely not a local.

After all, the locals are already stewed in the pot, and they don't really want to climb out.

But who could have imagined that a simple greeting would enrage this huge man, whose eyes were filled with hostility and whose entire body was exuding a fierce aura!

"Amazing, truly amazing... O high and mighty god, how could you forget who I am?"

"I really forgot."

Du Yi speaks the truth.

He genuinely couldn't remember, at least not right now, since he had met far too many people.

But this honest reaction only made the large figure even angrier, and under this rage, its already large body swelled up again until it became a giant.

However, this giant exuded a putrid stench, his body was covered with festering sores, and even his face was covered by distorted tumors, making him blind.

"Now, can't you still see who I am?!"

"Unrecognizable."

Du Yi shook his head honestly.

"Why don't you tell me yourself? Maybe I'll remember."

"I am the thirty-sixth leader of the Ignivas clan! I am the Dawn of New Life!"

The rotting giant roared at the ancient serpent, which was as big as a small mountain.

My name is David Day!

……

After a brief silence, Du Yi frowned.

"Never heard of you? Do we know each other?"

"you……"

The rotting giant named David Day was about to raise his arms, a familiar gesture that seemed to be common among the Ignivas people—it was at this moment that Du Yi suddenly realized that this person named David Day did not seem to be speaking the Tatunbto language they were currently in.

It was an even older language, but one that Du Yi could understand: Ignivas.

"You actually really are..."

Du Yi was suddenly a little dazed. He had actually seen a living Ignivas so quickly?

But at that moment, as if by some unseen command, David Dana's raised arms froze in mid-air.

"You're lucky."

After a moment of stiffness, David Day snorted and simply lowered his arm.

"The God of Life values ​​you highly. He finds you to be to His liking, so He decided to send me to guide you and make you one of His chosen people... This is not some insignificant native god like you. The God of Life is a true deity who traverses the stars and enjoys supreme glory."

"Who is this again?"

Du Yi was completely confused.

A David, whom he didn't recognize, looked like an Ignivas, and now another unknown God of Life appeared, asking him to become a chosen one... Yes, he could roughly tell that this so-called God of Life was some god in the starry sea, probably a being similar to the God of Courage or the God of Wisdom.

But how did they end up looking for voters and then targeting him?

"Because your actions please Him."

At this point, David Day even bowed respectfully towards the sky.

"He has always been watching you. You have passed His test, and your actions have pleased Him. That is why He has given you this qualification to become His servant... Be grateful for the grace of the God of Life."

"So...who exactly is it?"

Du Yi became more and more confused as he listened. How did he suddenly become a benefactor, given his qualifications, and even be constantly watched... Just thinking about being constantly watched made Du Yi feel uncomfortable all over. After all, this so-called watching was no different from spying.

“I don’t care who you are or who this so-called God of Life is. If he has something to say, let him come and talk to me in person.”

"He wants to talk to you face to face."

As he said this, David Day suddenly sticks out his belly.

"That's why I came here too."

As his belly bulged out, a huge slit appeared horizontally across his large belly, like a gaping maw full of sharp teeth, ready to devour someone.

Immediately afterwards, from that gaping maw, came out a local dialect that Du Yi could completely understand.

"Nice to meet you, a junior I don't know."

“I am different from the other gods; I came with good intentions.”

Chapter 251 The Benevolence of the God of Life

"I came with good intentions."

As the voice appeared, Du Yi actually felt a warm friendliness, as if he was not talking to a gaping maw, but to an elderly and kind-hearted man with white hair.

This friendliness made Du Yi relax a little without realizing it; at least the long tail that had been raised had fallen back to the ground.

"It's normal to be wary, after all, there's no shortage of malicious people in the vast sea of ​​stars... Just like now, haven't you already encountered several?"

"You mean..."

Du Yi vaguely thought of a possibility.

After all, there are only a few gods who came from the sea of ​​stars. Including this so-called God of Life, he has only met four in total. Among the four, how could he not tell which one was not good to him?

"...Wait a minute?"

Du Yi suddenly realized.

"You mean, several? Not just one?"

"Of course there's more than one."

The voice from that gaping maw continued speaking.

"The poison of the tyrannical god is spreading across this land, causing people to kill each other; the noise of the mysterious god fills this planet, trying to confuse your senses... But you have actually repelled the god of desire, which is remarkable. Not everyone can do that, to fight against those rampant desires."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Du Yi still couldn't quite believe it.

The God of Tyranny sounds like the God of Courage, since Tatumbhuto did cause some trouble when the level and experience system first appeared—as for the God of Mystery, he's probably the God of Wisdom, since there did seem to be some turmoil when that knowledge first appeared.

However, in terms of the results, both are actually good things. The former encourages people to be enterprising, while the latter simply provides technology directly—although many of these technologies are rather obscure, it depends on how they are used. As long as they are used in the right place, they greatly accelerate the progress of civilization.

It even provided invaluable assistance to Du Yina's idea of ​​building a spaceship.

As for the final God of Desire, he was indeed not very good; at least Du Yi couldn't get any benefits from him. But as for the first two, they were of great help. Du Yi even thought that once he had a spaceship, he would definitely visit these two unfamiliar gods in person to express his sincere gratitude for their kindness.

But now, judging from the tone of this god of life…

Those two gods who seemed friendly to him were actually here to harm him?

"why?"

Du Yi was quite puzzled.

After all, he had never made any enemies with anyone, and he had no grudges or hatreds from the past or present. He just wanted to live his own life. Why did those gods in the starry sea have to cause him trouble?

Why bother asking why?

The voice from the gaping maw rang out once more.

"In your planet's terms, wolves eat sheep, and sheep eat grass... So, since you are the god of tyranny, you will naturally spread tyranny; the god of mystery will naturally lead you astray; and the god of desire will naturally make you succumb to desire. Do you need to ask why?"

"..."

Du Yi roughly understood.

Simply put, he's a born bad guy, and everyone wants to find fault with him. It's not just him; the whole planet will suffer because of him.

However, thinking about this, Du Yi felt that he couldn't just believe the one-sided story of the God of Life.

"how about you?"

Du Yi stared at that gaping, blood-red maw.

"Why have you come to see me?"

“I have come here, of course, to be friendly with you and to guide you so that you will not go astray.”

A friendly voice once again emerged from the gaping maw.

"Since there are always those with malicious intentions in the vast sea of ​​stars, there will always be a few like me who will be kind to the new juniors... You did well, even among the many juniors I have met, you are one of the best, especially that pot of soup, it was truly remarkable."

"Oh, no, it's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Upon hearing praise for his work, Du Yi couldn't help but humbly offer a few words.

"It was my first time making it, so I was just trying it out. Now that it's turned out like this, it's completely undrinkable..."

Why do you feel like you can't drink it?

The voice from the gaping maw rang out once more.

"Isn't it at its best now that it's like this?"

……

After a brief silence, Du Yi stared incredulously at the gaping, blood-red maw.

“I said… this soup was originally meant to cure illnesses, but now they’ve all gone down to take a bath. Who knows what germs are in it? Do you really think this is safe to drink?”

"if not?"

The voice from the gaping maw also sounded somewhat puzzled.

"Without the essence of life, how can the soup be palatable? If you ask me, your heat is still a bit lacking. You should stew all these things that went down to bathe until they are completely soft and dissolved, extracting all the essence of life. Only then can it be considered a good soup."

……
