Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 251 The Benevolence of the God of Life

"I came with good intentions."

As the voice appeared, Du Yi actually felt a warm friendliness, as if he was not talking to a gaping maw, but to an elderly and kind-hearted man with white hair.

This friendliness made Du Yi relax a little without realizing it; at least the long tail that had been raised had fallen back to the ground.

"It's normal to be wary, after all, there's no shortage of malicious people in the vast sea of ​​stars... Just like now, haven't you already encountered several?"

"You mean..."

Du Yi vaguely thought of a possibility.

After all, there are only a few gods who came from the sea of ​​stars. Including this so-called God of Life, he has only met four in total. Among the four, how could he not tell which one was not good to him?

"...Wait a minute?"

Du Yi suddenly realized.

"You mean, several? Not just one?"

"Of course there's more than one."

The voice from that gaping maw continued speaking.

"The poison of the tyrannical god is spreading across this land, causing people to kill each other; the noise of the mysterious god fills this planet, trying to confuse your senses... But you have actually repelled the god of desire, which is remarkable. Not everyone can do that, to fight against those rampant desires."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Du Yi still couldn't quite believe it.

The God of Tyranny sounds like the God of Courage, since Tatumbhuto did cause some trouble when the level and experience system first appeared—as for the God of Mystery, he's probably the God of Wisdom, since there did seem to be some turmoil when that knowledge first appeared.

However, in terms of the results, both are actually good things. The former encourages people to be enterprising, while the latter simply provides technology directly—although many of these technologies are rather obscure, it depends on how they are used. As long as they are used in the right place, they greatly accelerate the progress of civilization.

It even provided invaluable assistance to Du Yina's idea of ​​building a spaceship.

As for the final God of Desire, he was indeed not very good; at least Du Yi couldn't get any benefits from him. But as for the first two, they were of great help. Du Yi even thought that once he had a spaceship, he would definitely visit these two unfamiliar gods in person to express his sincere gratitude for their kindness.

But now, judging from the tone of this god of life…

Those two gods who seemed friendly to him were actually here to harm him?

"why?"

Du Yi was quite puzzled.

After all, he had never made any enemies with anyone, and he had no grudges or hatreds from the past or present. He just wanted to live his own life. Why did those gods in the starry sea have to cause him trouble?
Why bother asking why?

The voice from the gaping maw rang out once more.

"In your planet's terms, wolves eat sheep, and sheep eat grass... So, since you are the god of tyranny, you will naturally spread tyranny; the god of mystery will naturally lead you astray; and the god of desire will naturally make you succumb to desire. Do you need to ask why?"

"..."

Du Yi roughly understood.

Simply put, he's a born bad guy, and everyone wants to find fault with him. It's not just him; the whole planet will suffer because of him.

However, thinking about this, Du Yi felt that he couldn't just believe the one-sided story of the God of Life.

"how about you?"

Du Yi stared at that gaping, blood-red maw.

"Why have you come to see me?"

"I've come here, of course, to befriend you and guide you, preventing you from going astray." A friendly voice once again emerged from the gaping maw.

"Since there are always those with malicious intentions in the vast sea of ​​stars, there will always be a few like me who will be kind to the new juniors... You did well, even among the many juniors I have met, you are one of the best, especially that pot of soup, it was truly remarkable."

"Oh, no, it's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Upon hearing praise for his work, Du Yi couldn't help but humbly offer a few words.

"It was my first time making it, so I was just trying it out. Now that it's turned out like this, it's completely undrinkable..."

Why do you feel like you can't drink it?

The voice from the gaping maw rang out once more.

"Isn't it at its best now that it's like this?"

……

After a brief silence, Du Yi stared incredulously at the gaping, blood-red maw.

“I said… this soup was originally meant to cure illnesses, but now they’ve all gone down to take a bath. Who knows what germs are in it? Do you really think this is safe to drink?”

"if not?"

The voice from the gaping maw also sounded somewhat puzzled.

"Without the essence of life, how can the soup be palatable? If you ask me, your heat is still a bit lacking. You should stew all these things that went down to bathe until they are completely soft and dissolved, extracting all the essence of life. Only then can it be considered a good soup."

……

Silence is spreading.

The long tail, which had been drooping to the ground, rose again, and Du Yi's gaze toward that gaping maw began to turn dangerous.

And that gaping maw spoke once more.

"Isn't that how it is? Didn't you cook this pot of soup just to summon me? Now I'm already standing in front of you... Wait, what did you just say about taking a bath?"

“Great God of Life! I told you long ago! This damned serpent will never submit to you!”

Just then, a voice rang out from behind that gaping maw.

It was David Day, the former leader of Ignivas, whose eyes now gleamed with deep-seated resentment.

“This damned creature doesn’t even know how to submit to the strong, and he can’t appreciate your kindness. We should have used that plague to kill him too…”

boom--

Before the words were even finished, the long tail that had been raised crashed down.

Even without David Day's reminder, Du Yi had already figured out that the current epidemic was actually caused by this so-called God of Life—so this so-called God of Life, who was full of good intentions, was the one who wanted to harm him behind his back.

Yes, just look at David Day's current appearance. His body is covered in sores, and even his belly is split open with a bloody mouth. How can he possibly have anything to do with life?
"I knew it! I knew it!"

Seeing the giant tail crashing down on him, David immediately raised both hands.

"You thought this level of skill could win me over? I'm not the same person I used to be..."

boom--

Before David Day could finish speaking, the massive tail crashed down and slammed him into the ground.
