Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 332 Even a lion needs to go all out to catch a rabbit.
Imperial border, Mount Kemunnu.

This is the headquarters of the Serpent Cult and the former Archbishop Septimus's secluded residence. Although Septimus rarely travels, with the support of the World Tree, he can still manipulate root avatars and monsters to stir up trouble in the outside world.

However, due to some unknown circumstances, the previous archbishop Septimus suddenly died of vomiting blood. In the eyes of the followers of the Serpent Cult, this must have been caused by his exhaustion in his journey to the stars. Fortunately, although the archbishop had passed away, they quickly elected a new archbishop.

The new archbishop, named Nar Corruption, is said to have been summoned from the stars by the original archbishop. He was even captured alive by those evil adventurers, but fortunately, the Serpent Cult had its own network of connections and managed to rescue him from prison.

As it turned out, the rescue was well worth it, because the new archbishop was far superior to the previous one. Not only was the power of the entire sect quickly organized, but he also established a deeper connection with the stars in the sky.

As for Nal Corruption himself, he relied on his overwhelming strength to dominate the world.

"They're just a bunch of natives..."

On the skeletal throne symbolizing his archbishop status, Nar Humility shook his head slightly.

Of course, he wouldn't say it aloud, even though he thought it. As a former follower of the God of Destruction and now the leader of the new sect, Nar Corruption knew very well how a clergyman should behave—he had to use his strength to subdue everyone while showing that he was doing it for their own good. Only in this way could he combine kindness and power and win everyone's hearts.

"Then we can let them plunder the planet's resources and start shipping them to the stars... I must say, this planet has quite a lot of resources."

Although there is no technology for processing, the planet itself has all the basic resources, such as minerals, plants and animals. Of course, the biggest resource is the believers who want to go to the Star Sea. Nar Humility has even figured out where to sell these people, and what price he can get for their bodies and souls.

He would then invest all of his gains into the new sect, using them as seed money for his business.

Everything seemed to be going well, the portal was nearing completion, and everything was about to get better.

But just at this time.

Its daybreak.

This made Nar Humility subconsciously raise his head, after all, he was sitting in a cave, in a deep and dark cavern, where he shouldn't be seeing sunlight at all.

But now, half of the entire mountain has been cut away.

Half of the mountain slid to the ground, revealing a figure with outstretched wings of light high in the sky. The figure, flowing like mercury, made Nar Corruption subconsciously think of the followers of the God of Desire—but in Nar Corruption's memory, no follower of the God of Desire could wield such terrifying power.

Such power is comparable to... no, it's beyond comparable, this is a true god!
"You, who are you?"

Nar Hum's voice trembled slightly.

He founded a sect only to become a god, but now a true god has appeared before him. The two sides are severely mismatched in strength, and Nal Corruption has no idea where he has offended such a terrifying being.

This is something he cannot handle, nor is it something he should suffer. With such terrifying strength, why bother to attack him?

But the figure in mid-air didn't even bother to answer; it simply spread its wings of light.

"Return to the earth."

Eight wings of light descended, and Nar Corruption was instantly incinerated beneath them.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, Habisa II slowly nodded. He could feel that with his act of destroying the Serpent Cult, the power of his beliefs had been further strengthened.

Yes, even with his overwhelming power, Habisa II was not in a hurry to fight the ancient serpent head-on.

Simply because he was cautious enough.

As the saying goes, even a lion needs to go all out to hunt a rabbit. He wouldn't be careless in this life-or-death battle. Rather than fighting the ancient serpent to the death right after gaining power, he would rather eliminate the other unbelievers and further strengthen his own power.

It's like the big fish eating the small fish. Two equally strong big fish may not necessarily fight to a conclusion, but if one of them chooses to devour the small fish first and grow bigger, then after it becomes stronger, the former big fish will become a small fish that can be easily crushed.

Hapisa II did not consider himself a hero; he would not do anything that would make him act impulsively and rush into battle.

Rather than a hero, he felt he should be a king. He only did things he was absolutely certain of, and he would not be careless or give the ancient serpent any chance.

"Besides the Serpent Cult, what other demonic creatures are there..."

With these thoughts in mind, Habisa II continued flying deeper into the mountains.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a mountain collapsing came from the mountains, along with the wails of various monsters.

……

……

……

"So what power did you say you had in your hands?"

Following the images in his mind, Du Yi watched as Hapisa II slayed various monsters before continuing to communicate with the consciousness of the Seed of Creation.

The Seed of Creation, or rather the newly born World Tree, was completely stunned. For the first time, it felt a feeling that the local natives called "shame"—it had originally wanted to show off the power it possessed to its father, the wealth it had accumulated over the long years.

Although the family's wealth wasn't substantial, it was at least enough, and it had hoped to earn its father's praise.

The result is now...

"How could he... be so useless?"

For the first time, the Seed of Creation felt an emotion that could be called "anger".

At this moment, it couldn't help but want to take action itself, even though it didn't actually know how to deal with those eight wings of light—but it definitely had to fight, otherwise it couldn't get rid of this pent-up anger.

But just as it was about to sprout roots and prepare to fight...

The thick, long tail pressed down on its body.

"Don't let your emotions control you, I can tell you're angry."

Sensing the emotions of the Seed of Creation, Du Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

Being controlled by emotions and then acting in anger basically means certain defeat; it's a foolish act.

"If you really want to do something... how about this?"

After thinking for a moment, Du Yi came up with a solution.

So, the next day, the Seed of Creation created an avatar and entered the Earth Cathedral.

It also wants to join the Earth Church.
