Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 118 The Creating Serpent, Creating Heaven and Earth

The sky was pitch black, with lightning and thunder, but this had nothing to do with Du Yi.

The ground was flooded, and the rain seemed endless, but no matter how fiercely the floodwaters surged, they couldn't reach him.

This is perhaps the advantage of being big enough; no matter how harsh the environment, it can't do anything to Du Yi.

Similarly, Du Yi was also helpless in the face of this bizarre environment.

Heaven knows how those savages managed to cause such a huge accident, so big that a flood swept them all away and killed them. Although Du Yi had considered rescuing a few savages from the flood at first, he decided against it after only a moment's thought.

What if we rescue a few savages and they cause another massive flood?
It would be better to rescue more mammoths; at least mammoths only know how to eat grass and wouldn't cause such a big mess.

Du Yi is always the type to act on his words. He rescued several mammoths as quickly as possible, and even held them in his mouth to prevent them from drowning.

But simply holding it in his mouth wasn't enough; he had to maintain that posture at all times, afraid that he might accidentally swallow the mammoth whole.

Of course, during this process, some wild men who were adrift in the flood, as well as some other animals, managed to climb onto the huge snake's body.

Du Yi didn't care about these lucky ones. He wouldn't deliberately save these savages, but he also wouldn't rush down to kill them—he had his own things to do and didn't have the mind to deal with such trivial matters.

If these savages could stay on his back, then it wouldn't matter; if they were thrown off during his rescue of the mammoth, then it wouldn't matter either.

"Actually, it would be best to kill him."

The thought of the chaos caused by these savages inevitably stirred up some malice in Du Yi's heart—it's not that he was angry, but rather that he was currently suffering an undeserved disaster.

Imagine this: he was in a good mood on a sunny day, planning to set up a fire and roast some meat. After eating his fill, he might even catch the three escaped prey and digest his food on the way back. But then a heavy rain ruined his barbecue dream, and when he looked up, the sun had disappeared.

Anyone would be furious in this situation.

"However... it's not to the point of taking it out on others."

Du Yi, who had personally ended everything, knew very well that the one who did all this was the savage leader on the mountain. As for the few savages who had survived by chance, they were just ordinary people.

"But things can't go on like before."

Recalling his previous experiences, Du Yi roughly reviewed them in his mind.

If we had to pinpoint where he went wrong in this whole affair, it would probably be that he didn't have much contact with these savages.

Perhaps in his mind back then, it would have been better not to have any contact with these savages. After all, if he were to be worshipped as a god by these savages, it would mean that he would likely have to live the life of a nanny for them. Whenever these savages had any problems, they would definitely come to him. Just thinking about this kind of burden makes one's scalp tingle.

He had no relation to these savages, so why would he become their father?

But from his current perspective...

"I'm really going to take control of you."

At this moment, Du Yi had fully realized just how rampant and destructive these savages were.

Or rather, it's not just these savages; any intelligent being would probably do something similar—they would always develop their own civilization, their own power, and even the power to destroy themselves.

Du Yi wasn't really concerned that these savages were destroying themselves.

The problem is, how could his house be washed away along with it? The hill where he used to live has been completely eroded by the flood, leaving only a muddy mess. Even if the flood recedes, Du Yi probably won't move back.

As for the firewood and seasonings he had stockpiled, they had long since been washed away by the flood.

All of this was simply because these savages suddenly started a massive project of burning the mountain for some unknown reason, which led to an unexpected engineering accident.

The scope of this engineering accident was surprisingly vast.

"The savages need to be managed; we can't ignore them."

The old saying goes that one learns from a beating, and Du Yi has truly come to understand this this time.

Rather than letting these savages run wild and ruin everything, it would be better for him to take charge of them from the beginning—although this would certainly be more troublesome and might even affect his carefree life, at least he could nip any problems in the bud.

"Just do it."

After only a moment's thought, Du Yi made his decision.

As he looked up, the dark clouds that had been gathering for who knows how long gradually dispersed.

It wasn't because Du Yi did anything; he still didn't do anything. However, he didn't need to do anything deliberately—since a large amount of water vapor could accumulate into boundless dark clouds, these dark clouds would naturally dissipate once the rain stopped.

This is why Du Yi simply stayed put and did nothing. After all, if the weather didn't clear up, he really couldn't do anything while facing a flood.

However, when this scene was seen by the savages who had climbed onto the snake's back and survived by sheer luck, it presented a completely different picture.

"The Serpent God... the great Serpent God..."

The surviving savages cried out in alarm, unable to even speak—because this was no longer just a matter of saving them.

Just as the serpent god raised its head, even the sky was opened up.

The sky cleared once again, the long-awaited sunshine shone down, the darkness gradually faded, and light returned to the world.

Under this long-awaited light, the land that had been trampled by the giant snake's body looked so flat.

The original hills have disappeared, replaced by fertile plains with wide river channels.

"Great serpent god..."

On the massive snake's body, the surviving savages, even though they could barely stand, still tried to kneel down and kowtow repeatedly in Du Yi's direction.

This time, Du Yi did not refuse the worship of these savages.

Instead, they accepted it all with equanimity.

Of course, besides receiving worship, he had something even more important to do.

"We can't let you die."

Du Yi quickly spat out the mammoth he had been holding in his mouth.
