Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 236 For the Stars and the Sea
We will become His wings, enabling Him to walk in the heavens—The Prayer of the Scales, Chapter 3, Section 5.

One group after another of the best people from all walks of life came to Du Yi’s side and made a pact with their snake god. After that, they would bring this information to more people.

Not only these top performers from all walks of life, but this time, the Snake God needs everyone's help.

Anyone willing to help the Serpent God can make a pact with him, and their names will be recorded as proof of their return from the underworld. The two priests who have already died once among the four priests have been specially selected to be in charge of this matter. As long as their souls are not destroyed, they may still have the possibility of living a second, third, or even fourth life.

As for the consequences of doing so, Du Yi hadn't thought about them at all. Besides, such things were not within his scope of consideration. At this moment, all he could think about was the mammoth that was far away.

An unprecedented fighting spirit burned within Du Yi.

This made Du Yi even more grateful to the God of Wisdom in the starry sea, whom he had never met.

"It must be the god of wisdom, right? I guess I've been enlightened?"

Thinking of this, Du Yi added another sentence to the people of Tatunbuto: when the day comes that you step into the sea of ​​stars, remember to repay the kindness of this god of wisdom and befriend him.

This statement naturally gained everyone's approval, since much of the knowledge they were currently using was gained from gazing at the stars. They were also grateful for the technical support provided by this god of wisdom at a crucial moment.

"Oh right, and the god of courage too, don't forget that one."

Remembering this, Du Yi added another sentence.

This was also agreed upon by everyone, after all, this system of levels and experience did indeed bring them a lot of convenience - especially when exploring newly acquired knowledge, there will inevitably be oversights and mistakes in the process, but even failed attempts can gain experience.

As for success, needless to say, success is success. It not only means a wealth of experience, but also signifies a giant leap forward in the progress of civilization.

Yes, civilization. This is a word that the Serpent God recently came up with. In the Serpent God's words, they were still in the Bronze Age. Even though they have made progress, they have only just learned to use steel. They are still far from the civilization known as interstellar civilization, which allows people to soar through the stars.

However, progress is always a good thing.

"Even if our generation can't finish it, then our descendants can. If our descendants can't finish it, then their descendants can... If we add people from generation to generation, surely we can finish it?"

Indeed, what seems impossible is actually possible, but it can be accomplished by generations of people working together. This is not just about accumulating from generation to generation, but about adding them together literally, since they have all made a pact with the serpent god, which means that as long as they don't want to die, they can always live a second or third life.

If even life and death are no longer something to fear, then what are these current difficulties?
"Done!"

The second-generation carpenter, a man named Beskay, cheered himself on with a roar.

Unlike the unfortunate first-generation carpenter immortal, this second-ranked carpenter immortal, although also influenced by the god of wisdom in the starry sky, was ultimately a little too late. This directly led to him being pulled over by the serpent god to make a pact before he could even shut himself away to work on his craft. The giant ship that the serpent god spoke of, capable of flying to the starry sea, greatly aroused Beske's interest.

"What Nutba did is nothing! This is what a real man should do!" That distant, almost impossible fantasy stirred up unprecedented passion in Beske, and the hidden knowledge from the god of wisdom, guided by this great idea, gradually disassembled and reassembled, building in another direction.

“The Snake God is right. This is something that I can’t do by myself… It’s not something that one person can do alone. It requires everyone to work together.”

Although the idea in his mind was only in its initial stages, Beska had already realized that such a behemoth would be too large for one person to operate alone—after all, a giant ship capable of carrying the Serpent God would mean that its size was probably even larger than that of Tatunbuto.

Therefore, even if all the current population of Tatunbhu were added together, it would probably not be enough to keep such a giant ship running normally.

"No wonder the serpent god made each of us make a covenant with him... He had foreseen this all along."

Beska couldn't help but admire the Serpent God's foresight, and at the same time began to prepare for the training of manpower.

Yes, to ensure there are enough operators by then, we should start training them now—even though this so-called giant ship is still nowhere to be seen, it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Moreover, the prototype of the giant ship had already appeared in Beskey's mind, and he was certain that he was the one who knew best how to operate it.

But during the process of gathering manpower, Beskey unexpectedly discovered some rather unusual people.

They also lived in Tatunbutu, but instead of making a covenant with the serpent god, they prayed to a being in the starry sky known as the god of pleasure.

These people even secretly built a so-called "Palace of Elysium," indulging in illusory dreams, refusing to venture into the starry sea, and even refusing to make a pact with the serpent god.

"These people...they are traitors!"

Beska had never been so angry. He immediately went to the enforcement team, intending to have the Mad Axe Setka personally teach these ungrateful people a lesson.

But who could have imagined that the first enforcement team to enter would also fall into the trap, indulging in a life of debauchery and showing no intention of getting out?

The enforcement team members are already involved, which is no small matter. Considering the mistake they made when facing the Chosen Champion, Setka, who had died once before, immediately reported it to the four priests.

Upon hearing the name of the god of pleasure, the four priests were not foolish enough to risk their lives. Instead, they reported the information to Du Yi once again.

"What? You mean another god has come?"

Having already received two divine blessings, Du Yi was actually pleased after seeing this information.

He couldn't wait to see what gifts this new god would bring him.
