Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 262 Seed of Creation
The distant mountains are called Kem Nuen by the locals, or more colloquially, Damang Mountain.

As for the reason for this name, it is of course because this mountain is very large and quite steep, but what is most impressive is the countless forks in the mountain. Even the most skilled mountaineer will get lost in the mountains and become a skeleton or the excrement of some unknown wild animal.

Therefore, locals generally do not go there, and even if they have something to do, they will not really go deep into the mountains. After the establishment of the Serpent God Empire and the construction of Tatunbuto began, people began to go to Tatunbuto to seek opportunities, and even fewer people stayed here.

This directly resulted in David Day, who, after waking up from his coma, being unable to find anyone to ask for directions.

"Where am I?"

David Day shook his still slightly dizzy head.

"And what exactly happened?"

Patting his head, David Day tried to recall those fragmented memories. He remembered that he had been authorized by the God of Life to activate the "Barrier of New Life." After gaining control of that war fortress, he immediately rushed towards the evil ancient serpent that he had an irreconcilable hatred for.

David Day had never fought such a lavish battle, crushing the activated war fortress with all his might, especially since the target was the evil ancient serpent that had crushed him twice before. Heaven knows how satisfying this act of revenge was.

And then……

And then, it seems like there was nothing more to it.

The giant snake bit its long tail, then swung it out; his memory stopped at that moment.

After that, he knew nothing more.

His memory seemed to be fragmented; when he woke up, he was already here. The "Barrier of Rebirth" had been shattered, and he himself didn't even know where he was.

"However... thankfully, the war weapons of the God of Life are not so fragile."

Yes, that's why David Day isn't worried at all. It's because this war fortress was originally just a swamp. Even if the swamp is broken and scattered all over the mountains and fields, it will still be a swamp and won't cause any damage.

As long as he manipulates the seed from the God of Life and plants the World Tree on the spot, this "barrier of rebirth" will once again...

"and many more?"

David Day reached into his pocket and found nothing, then realized something was wrong.

Where are my seeds?

You must understand that this is no ordinary seed; it is the true core bestowed by the God of Life, not only the starting point of the entire "Project of Creation," but also the absolute central hub controlling this war fortress.

Now, this most crucial seed has been lost somewhere.

"This...this...this...this!"

David Day was immediately drenched in sweat.

Without that seed, how could he complete the God of Life's plan? Without that seed, how could he fight against that evil ancient serpent?

Without that seed, he couldn't even power this war fortress.

Just like now, even though he could clearly see the soldiers of the God of Life, none of the creeping creatures covered in mycelium heeded his call.

The aggregates of those spores even mistook him for an outsider and launched an attack on him.

“Even you…who gave you the guts!” The giant maw on its abdomen suddenly opened, and the creeper at the forefront was instantly chewed to pieces.

The rest of the creep walkers finally stopped in their tracks, their stunned expressions clearly indicating that they had recognized their commander.

The enormous mouth that grows on the abdomen is a feature that only the embodiment of the god of life could possess.

However, even if he conquered a group of creep walkers, it would be meaningless. These constructs made of spores do not have brains at all. Even if he sent them out, they would only get lost. David Day still did not know where he was.

"Perhaps the only option is..."

Thinking of this, David Day couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Perhaps, the only option is to seek help from the god of life.

Although seeking help immediately upon landing would only highlight his incompetence, for David Day at this moment, incompetence is better than inability—exposing his incompetence would only invite the rebuke of the god of life, but failing to complete the task entrusted to him by the god of life...

The outcome is hard to say.

So after sacrificing a group of creepers to fill the giant mouth in his abdomen, David Day began to summon the gaze of the god of life, preparing to report to the god of life what he had encountered.

But just as David Day closed his eyes, preparing to receive a rebuke from the gods...

What resounded from the depths of his heart was only a battle cry and a roar.

"Show me your courage! Let me see what you're capable of!"

Along with such a roar, a strange courage surged within David Day, making him yearn to immediately return to the evil ancient serpent and fight it for three hundred rounds.

But David Day immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Damn it, Casaloran! They attacked at this crucial moment!"

Yes, just as he could disrupt the spiritual energy field near this planet under the command of the God of Life to prevent any messages from being sent out, what he was currently suffering from was clearly spiritual energy interference from the God of Courage. As for the source of this spiritual energy interference, it was all too obvious. Just by listening to those roaring battle cries, who else could it be but Kassalon?
"At a time like this..."

The severing of his connection with the God of Life plunged David Day into true despair. He wasn't helpless when he was lost earlier, but now he was truly desperate and had no one to turn to.

"That means... I have to come by myself."

Thinking this, David Day looked into the distance.

The Seed of Creation was, after all, a gift to him. If he tried hard to sense it, he could still feel the faint connection—but obviously, because of the great distance, the connection was far too weak.

However, being able to feel it is a good thing.

If he can sense it, there's still a chance to retrieve the Seed of Creation. If he can sense it, there's still a possibility of completing the mission. As long as he can retrieve the seed, he can still fulfill the God of Life's mandate. As long as he can retrieve it...

"...Eat?"

It was at this moment that David Day suddenly froze.

This was because, in his consciousness, the seed of creation from the God of Life had already been planted.
