Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 108 The True Wisdom to Solve All Problems
The transition from the 36th to the 37th Akakage is still within the comprehension of the Ignivas, since their ancestors all went through this process, and the generational change among Akakage is a normal thing.

However, it was completely abnormal that the 37th Akakage had only been in power for ten days before reverting to the 36th Akakage. When the 36th Akakage reappeared in front of the public, they even thought they were still asleep.

"What about the thirty-seventh generation? Wasn't the handover already completed?"

The first to raise questions were the practitioners of the Path of All Things, since the Path of All Things was promoted by the Thirty-Sixth Akakage, and these practitioners were the ones who could speak with the Thirty-Sixth Akakage the most.

Of course, compared to the aging 36th generation Akakage, they preferred the newly appointed 37th generation. After all, the 37th generation had truly devoted himself to the path of the people and even enjoyed himself with them. But now, their beloved 37th generation had suddenly disappeared, while the 36th generation had reappeared.

"What exactly happened?"

"Ah, you've come at the perfect time."

Looking at these cultivators who had come to him of various paths, the Thirty-Sixth Generation Akakage couldn't help but laugh.

“I have received true wisdom from the serpent god, and I will lead my people to a true future… Are you willing to receive true wisdom?”

With such a prestigious title, naturally no one present dared to utter any objections.

So the 36th Akakage shared his thoughts, including that a good meal is the foundation of everything, reflecting on past mistakes, and of course, most importantly, building a world with saber-toothed tigers and mammoths.

"That's about it."

After finishing his explanation, the Thirty-Sixth Akakage felt he had explained things very thoroughly.

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

……

Upon hearing these words, the Ignivas who practiced various paths looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Clearly, they were all against this, after all, their pleasure lay in the path of the masses, in that unparalleled joy—but now, the 36th Akakage was asking them to eat?

Putting aside the fact that the Thirty-Sixth Akakage was the founder of the Path of All, the very act of eating itself is problematic. You should know that as early as the Third Akakage, the diet of the Ignivas people had already begun to be improved, and by now, the impurities in those foods have been removed round after round.

Removing impurities from food and consuming only the essential nutrients is the secret to the longevity of the Ignivas people.

Now, the 36th Akakage wants them to eat meat directly like their ancestors, and to eat food full of impurities, which will undoubtedly shorten their lives!
Not only are they being deprived of their happiness, but they are also being deprived of their lives. Who would agree to such a thing?

Even Akakage shouldn't make such a decision!

"Oh? It seems none of you approve?"

Originally, everyone expected that, faced with so much opposition, even Akakage should have thought twice, or even obeyed them.

But all they saw was the smile on the face of the Thirty-Sixth Akakage.

This old thing...

What are you laughing at?
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Before everyone, the elderly Thirty-Sixth Generation Akakage not only smiled, but even raised his hands and clapped repeatedly.

Thus, accompanied by the sound of clapping hands, batches of cultivators from various paths turned to ashes.

"You...what are you going to do!"

It was at this moment, when they saw the sparks that had not yet dissipated and were still flying in mid-air, that these cultivators from all paths realized that something was wrong.

The Thirty-Sixth Akakage had no intention of talking to them at all.

This old bastard had murderous intent from the very beginning!
"You're insane! You actually attacked your own kind!"

As another burst of flame hurtled towards them, the cultivators, about to be burned to death, screamed in agony.

"Do you know what you're doing! You're a madman..."

Faced with the curses of the seekers, the Thirty-Sixth Akakage didn't even bother to say a word, only clapping his hands repeatedly.

Let them curse, let them say whatever they want. If he can't even bear these empty words, what can he possibly accomplish?

"If we care about your opinions, then we won't even be able to eat well, let alone have a proper meal."

With the wisdom he had received from the Serpent God echoing in his mind, the Thirty-Sixth Generation Akakage's eyes were filled with determination.

Is it really that easy to have a good meal?
No, that's a very difficult thing.

The simpler something is, the more difficult it is.

Therefore, he had made all the necessary mental preparations to achieve this.

The clapping took a whole morning. All the cultivators who were unwilling to support him were burned to ashes, and those who had begun to call themselves Nata people were burned to ashes. Since these people no longer acknowledged that they were Ignivas people, there was no need for them to stay.

After that came the seekers on the mountain. The battle lasted for an entire afternoon, simply because those seekers who had begun to consider themselves Mani people did indeed possess considerable fighting power. However, as the bravest warrior and the most powerful mage, the Thirty-Sixth Generation Akakage, after paying the price of losing his left arm, still managed to wipe out all these traitorous seekers who were no longer Ignivas.

Losing a left arm means being unable to strike with both palms together, which greatly reduces one's spellcasting ability.

But the 36th Akakage didn't care at all.

Dragging his badly injured body, he found those who had once surrounded him, who claimed to be going to become members of the Catan.

Even though they were facing only a red shadow with a severed arm, this time, those so-called Katan people didn't dare to stop them in the slightest.

They could only watch as the blood-covered figure approached them step by step, until it reached them.

"Now only you two are left."

Looking at these so-called Katan people, the Thirty-sixth Generation Akakage shook his head.

"I do need to go to the other side of the Great Snow Mountain, but I don't plan to take you with me, no matter how much you want to fight your way there..."

Upon hearing this, these so-called Katan people immediately understood their fate. They roared in despair and launched every attack they could against the one-armed figure in front of them.

But it makes no sense.

The old figure simply patted his chest, and the raging flames burned everyone to death.

In just one day, the Thirty-Sixth Akakage quelled the chaos that had almost driven him to his death, at the cost of his left arm and a full third of the Ignivas.

If this had happened in the past, with so many people dying, he would probably have just felt like the sky had fallen.

But now, with all the problems solved, the Thirty-Sixth Akakage felt incredibly relaxed.

He even had a vague feeling that he was now truly on the right path.

It wasn't something the Ignivas themselves had researched; it was something real, something that could even be called "divine mandate."

This is the path he should take, this is what he should do.

As the strongest warrior and the most powerful mage, this was the only thing he should do.

"Then……"

The Thirty-Sixth Generation Akakage's gaze was fixed on the distant snow-capped mountains.

The Hengnu people on the other side of the snowy mountain may have been a major threat to him in the past, but now that he understands everything, this is just a small matter and is not worth his attention at all.

What he has to do is something much more difficult.

According to the Snake God, there are some mammoths on the Great Snow Mountain, but saber-toothed tigers are not found even on the Great Snow Mountain.

"Since you can produce gold and jewels..."

"Then you can definitely bring out the saber-toothed tiger, right?"
