Seal of God: Crossing the Snake Demon God, Devouring Evolution

Chapter 5: Swallowing the Sun and Moon Divine Snail
For a long time, the starlight beast was equivalent to a divine artifact, and almost all the divine artifacts handed down from ancient times that had light attributes were related to the starlight beast.

Most of the starlight beasts possess powerful combat capabilities, but the most difficult one to deal with is the Sun and Moon Divine Snail in front of them.

The Sun and Moon Divine Snail is the most special among the starlight beasts. It has no attack power and will not hurt anyone.

Even if attacked by the enemy, they will only choose to defend until the enemy is exhausted and leaves.

In other words, the Sun and Moon Divine Snail is a powerful mythical beast that cannot attack but has almost invincible defense.

The defense of the Sun-Moon Divine Snail is called the Eternal Barrier. In the history of the Holy Demon Continent, the Sun-Moon Divine Snail has only appeared three times and was killed only once. That time it encountered a large artifact that mainly focused on attacking, and the Sun-Moon Divine Snail did not enter a defensive state at the beginning of the battle and was killed by a surprise attack.

The one who killed and devoured the Sun and Moon Divine Snail was a giant dragon of light. After devouring the Sun and Moon Divine Snail, it evolved into a giant sacred dragon.

That period was also the heyday of the dragon clan.

The sacred dragon ruled for nearly a thousand years until a human son of light appeared, and with him appeared a sun and moon divine snail.

The Son of Light of mankind, holding the shield transformed from the Sun and Moon Divine Snail, finally killed the sacred dragon. It was from that moment on that mankind gradually emerged and gradually completed the process of unifying the continent.

And the Sons of Light of mankind can be considered as part of the starlight beasts.

In his later years, the Son of Light was blinded by greed and took advantage of the Sun and Moon Divine Snail's absolute trust in him and devoured it.

In other words, if An Lan wanted to devour the Sun and Moon Divine Snail in front of him, there were only two ways. The first was to break through the defense of the Sun and Moon Divine Snail, which was obviously impossible.

The second way is to gain the trust of the Sun-Moon Divine Snail, or to have the Sun-Moon Divine Snail voluntarily be devoured by him.

The Sun and Moon Divine Snail had its eyes tightly closed, and it lay quietly in front of him without moving, emitting an extremely pure and soft light element.

"Leave, you can't break my defense." The Sun and Moon Divine Snail suddenly opened his eyes and looked at An Lan.

Its eyes were extremely peaceful, and even when facing An Lan, who possessed a dark attribute, it did not show the slightest bit of disgust.

An Lan said: "I want to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Sun and Moon Divine Snail wondered.

"I need your source of light. In exchange, I can complete the mission of the Sun and Moon Divine Snail clan on your behalf, end the war on the continent, and create a peaceful and prosperous era." An Lan said.

"Why should I believe you?" asked the Sun and Moon Divine Snail.

"Your life is almost coming to an end. You have no choice but to believe me. It will be better for you to be freed sooner and return to the arms of the Goddess of Light sooner." An Lan said.

A look of melancholy flashed in the eyes of the Sun and Moon Divine Snail. After hiding here for thousands of years, it must be feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

But there is still a trace of obsession in its heart, wanting to complete the mission entrusted to it by the Goddess of Light.

The Sun and Moon Divine Snail is the symbol of peace. It was born to allow all races on the entire continent to develop harmoniously.

But it failed, and failed to stop Alex from starting an Undead War that spread across the entire continent.

"What does the world outside look like now?" asked the Sun and Moon Divine Snail.

An Lan said: "Ten thousand years ago, Alex launched a great war of the undead, causing great suffering to all living beings, and only one in ten strong humans survived. More than six thousand years ago, seventy-two demon pillars broke through the sky and descended on the Holy Demon Continent, bringing a demon plague, which gave rise to the demon race." "Humanity has ushered in a dark age of more than six thousand years, and is still at an absolute disadvantage in the war with the demon race."

Upon hearing this, compassion emerged in the eyes of the Sun and Moon Divine Snail, mixed with a hint of helplessness.

"You are also a member of the demon clan, aren't you?" The Sun and Moon Divine Snail looked at An Lan.

"But my heart yearns for light." An Lan said with certainty.

The Sun and Moon Snail were stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "I have another question. If you can answer it, I can choose to believe you."

"Is it about Electrolux?" An Lan asked.

Hearing this name, the Sun and Moon Snail became a little excited and said quickly: "I want to know what happened to him. Can you tell me?"

"At first I saw all the good things in humanity in Electrolux, but then he suddenly became crazy and left me, for some unknown reason."

"When I saw him again 20 years later, he had become a being that even gods would fear. I tried to persuade him, but I couldn't change his mind. It seemed that his soul was polluted by something, his eyes were blinded by hatred, and he became hysterical and unreasonable."

"But I am sure that deep in his heart, he still retains a bit of kindness that belongs to the Son of Light. Otherwise, he would not have let me go, and he would not have never harmed a single civilian in the subsequent Undead War."

Having said this, the Sun and Moon Divine Snail fell silent.

An Lan said, "Electrolux was betrayed by his beloved, and lost his parents, brothers, and all his relatives. He lost everything overnight..."

An Lan narrated all of Electrolux's experiences and revealed the real reason why Electrolux turned evil.

"So, it turns out that he has suffered so much hardship." The eyes of the Sun and Moon Divine Snail were full of sadness.

An Lan said: "Actually, Electrolux did nothing wrong."

The Sun and Moon Snail raised its head.

An Lan continued, "Anyone who has this kind of experience will become evil. Although Alex is the Son of Light, he is also a human being with emotions. And although the Brilliant Church is at its peak, it has long been corrupted internally. It is time for such a person to appear to overthrow the rule of the Brilliant Church and establish a new order for mankind and the entire world."

"But in the end, Alex was defeated, and after the war, seventy-two demon pillars descended, which led to the next six thousand years of darkness."

The Sun and Moon Divine Snail was silent for a long time this time. An Lan was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

“As you said, my life is about to come to an end, and I have no choice but to believe in you. I only hope that you can fulfill your promise and end the six thousand years of darkness. At the same time, I also hope that you can follow the guidance of the light, stick to your original intention, and understand right from wrong. In this way, my birth and departure can be considered meaningful.” said the Sun and Moon Divine Snail.

After saying this, the light elements emanating from the Sun and Moon Divine Snail gradually gathered and condensed into a group of the purest light source. At the same time, its bright eyes gradually dimmed until they finally lost all vitality.

The third Sun and Moon Divine Snail to descend upon the world fell.

In front of him, besides the origin of light, what was left for An Lan was also a shield transformed from the Sun and Moon Divine Snail.

An Lan walked forward and put the Origin of Light into the storage space, and the Sun and Moon God Snail Shield turned into an orange-red ring and was worn on his hand.

At this point, the only one left in the Dark Swamp was the King of Anacondas outside the Devouring Cave.
