Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 229 The Gaze of the God of Knowledge

It wasn't just the local Setka who was feeling the chills; Elias, the chosen champion, was also experiencing the same thing.

The worst-case scenario has still occurred. The ancient evil in the starry sky has still taken notice of this place. At this moment, not only Elias, but also the other chosen champions are all prepared to fight to the death.

Yes, they were going to fight to the death. As the chosen ones of the god of courage, the idea of ​​retreat was not in their minds—but the fact that they were even preparing to fight to the death was enough to show how dangerous the situation was.

"It can't even be described as dangerous anymore; this is a catastrophe."

Elias described the discovery of the ancient serpent in this way.

"The thirst for knowledge will attract the gaze of the god of wisdom, who will bestow knowledge upon them, enabling them to understand everything..."

"That sounds like a good thing."

Listening to Elias's description, Du Yi felt that this behavior was a bit too generous - after all, you have to pay tuition to learn a skill, but this kind of behavior of teaching whatever you ask without charging any fees is simply an unprecedented act of kindness.

Upon hearing this, it was Elias who was stunned.

"How...could this possibly be a good thing?"

Every seemingly free gift comes with a price.

The price of accepting this knowledge is to become the chosen one of the gods of wisdom, eternally pursuing that endless knowledge.

"That doesn't seem to be a problem."

Du Yi still felt there was nothing wrong with this, after all, knowledge is indeed endless, so it is only natural to keep pursuing it.

"It's just this, why are you so scared?"

"But the problem is..."

For a moment, Elias was at a loss for words.

After all, compared to the chosen ones of the God of Courage, whose brutality was on full display, the chosen ones of the God of Wisdom often did not seem to pose much of a threat. Before the problem was exposed, they could usually maintain the appearance of scholars, and their thirst for knowledge was exactly what they would show.

It wasn't until their knowledge reached a certain level that they began to try to verify whether a certain hypothesis was valid by destroying an entire planet.

By then, it was all too late.

"Ah this."

Upon hearing Elias put it this way, Du Yi realized the seriousness of the matter.

After all, he had encountered something similar before. Although he wasn't quite sure if the 36th generation Akakage had received any knowledge from beyond the stars, it was clear that his former friend had indeed researched and developed incredible power, and had indeed accomplished a feat that could be described as world-destroying.

If something like this happened again...

"Forget it then."

Although the current environment is much worse than his old place, it is still quite comfortable. Anyway, Du Yi doesn't want to experience something like this again.

"So what should we do?"

Du Yi looked at Elias.

Since this chosen champion specifically sought him out, he must have a way to do so. After all, in a sense, they are now on the same side.

The solution offered by the Chosen Champion, Elias, was quite simple: "Just prevent them from thinking."

Elias revealed the method he knew.

"As long as you don't think, you can solve the problem at its root."

"you……"

Du Yi was stunned.

To avoid being contaminated by knowledge, they simply stop thinking altogether, which is like not drinking water at all because they know they'll choke. Du Yi couldn't understand how such an absurd thing could possibly work.
"You can give it a try first."

Sensing that the ancient serpent was averse to this matter, Elias sighed.

This was inevitable, since anyone would be more or less surprised to hear such a method that was like throwing the baby out with the bathwater—but in Elias's mind, this was already the best way to fight against the god of wisdom.

After all, the power of the god of wisdom is so pervasive that anyone who wants to improve or learn will almost certainly be noticed by the god of wisdom; it's just a matter of time.

"And this planet... is probably the most suitable place for the god of wisdom to exert his power."

Elias thought to himself.

Indeed, this planet seems too ignorant to be noticed by the god of wisdom, but it is precisely because of its ignorance that it has a great thirst for knowledge—coupled with the extreme focus shown by the natives of this planet, they are almost certain to attract the attention of the god of wisdom.

The god of wisdom will grant their wishes and bestow upon them countless secrets of knowledge—an unprecedented generosity, a veritable feast.

But the ones who will enjoy this lavish feast will not be these local natives.

Rather, it is the god of wisdom himself.

When these natives accept that knowledge, when they begin to seek the so-called truth, the shadow of the god of wisdom already envelops them. They will all be transformed into believers of the god of wisdom, arguing endlessly until they begin to use force to practice their own truth and use their knowledge to destroy the entire planet.

Thus, the god of wisdom gained another favored one, and in the sea of ​​stars, another ruin appeared.

"And then, I was buried in the ruins."

Elias, who had just returned from the ancient serpent, looked rather grim.

Since the ancient serpent did not fully accept his advice, it meant that this planet would almost certainly suffer the ravages of the god of wisdom. If he did not want to die on this planet without knowing why, he would probably have to find a way to save himself.

It wasn't just him; the other chosen champions thought the same way.

The chosen champions of the God of Courage originally thought this was the God of Courage's hunting ground, after all, the God of Courage's blessings had already spread throughout this region, and it was time for them, the chosen champions, to determine the victors—but who could have imagined that at this very moment, the God of Wisdom would also choose this planet as a breeding ground, and even begin to spread those hidden knowledge to the local natives.

"Two celestial beings have simultaneously set their sights on the same planet! What a calamity this is!"

Many of the chosen champions even began to mourn for the local indigenous people, whose fates were truly tragic.

So, in order to prevent these natives from suffering so much, these chosen champions prepared to show them mercy in their own way.

"The only way is to kill them."

Yes, in order to prevent these local natives from being poisoned by the god of wisdom, the chosen champions of the god of courage decided to kill them all first.
