Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 358 What Do Big Trees Eat?

The idea of ​​going back to eat halfway through a match is absurd; I've never heard of such a ridiculous notion before.

But immediately, the singing bowl realized what those words meant.

"So... the Serpent God has been watching this place all along?"

The singing bowl immediately caused a toothache.

If it were just one against one, he would indeed have room to maneuver, but against two... even if he could attack the Serpent God, given that he can only exert half his current strength, it would be very difficult for him to actually win.

Yes, in the eyes of the singing bowl, if it were truly allowed to fully unleash its potential...

Even if he were facing the Snake God, he would not lose.

This actually touches on the mindset of many young Ignivas. As a new generation born in the Star Sea, many of them have never actually seen the Serpent God. Only through the teachings of their elders can they glimpse that ancient glory.

However, that's also where the problem lies.

No matter how glorious it may be, the ancient times are still just the ancient times.

The Serpent God had already entered a deep slumber in ancient times, which meant that the Serpent God's development had stagnated. On the contrary, they, the Ignivas who ventured into the sea of ​​stars, gradually mastered earth-shattering power through one calamity after another and one battle after another.

From their initial arrival in the Star Sea, where they were treated like dogs by various races and nearly devoured by cannibals, to gradually gaining control of their consciousness and turning the cannibals into roasted meat, even burning their planets to the ground... From needing the entire race to destroy a planet to now easily burning down an entire civilization with just a few members, the power of the Ignivas is no longer what it used to be.

The Ignivas themselves were well aware that they were infamous in the Star Sea, yet despite such a reputation, they had not suffered many deaths, which was enough to prove just how powerful they were.

They were confident that their strength was already comparable to that of the gods, and they had even proven this with their battle record on many occasions.

So, these young people also began to think about a question.

That is, do they really still need to worship the snake god as fanatically as before?

Of course, they would approve of the worship of the serpent god as a custom, since this custom had been passed down among the Ignivas for countless years—but if it were to be worshipped as a deity, as the elders had suggested…

It's not that they have any issues with the snake god; it's just that they genuinely don't know how to proceed with their worship.

So-called worship is always the weak worshipping the strong.

When did the idea of ​​the strong worshipping the weak come about?
It wasn't that they wanted to belittle the serpent god; the main issue was that there was indeed a considerable gap in power between the two sides—they had even personally killed some of those indigenous gods who occupied planets, giving some of the flesh to mammoths and simply eating the rest themselves.

Perhaps in the eyes of those weak planetary natives, those enormous beasts did indeed possess power comparable to gods, but it wasn't until they fell and even became roast meat that Ignivas realized that these beasts tasted no different from ordinary meat.

Because of their larger size, the meat of these giant beasts is even drier.

When these young Ignivas turned to look at the natives, seeing their bewildered eyes, they couldn't help but think of their own people.

Back in the day, their ancestors… well, we don’t even need to go back in time, since some of those who saw the serpent god back then are still alive today. But it’s clear that when the elders looked at the serpent god, it was probably similar to how the natives looked at the giant beast.

That was the look unique to the primitive era, clear yet tinged with a hint of chaos.

However, the people of Ignivas today are no longer ignorant.

The new generation of Ignivas, having gained power and witnessed the vastness of the world, has awakened.

And Songbo, who was the vanguard and the first to scout the way in the opposite direction, was also the strongest among the younger generation of Ignivas. "Perhaps, I can start with myself..."

The singing bowl couldn't help but think of this.

However, it's just a thought.

Right now, he is indeed the only one controlling the consciousness aggregate to fight, but behind him, his people are all watching, especially the older generation of Ignivas, some of whom have lived since ancient times and have seen the Serpent God with their own eyes. These are the real old fogies who hold absolute authority in the tribe.

At this time, it's absolutely impossible to talk about fighting the Serpent God.

They didn't even need him to make a move; if he dared to show any sign of it, the elders would burn him to ashes.

What's more, these elders are currently in a bad mood.

"How could...how could it be!"

From afar, a series of cacophonous roars echoed in the mind.

"It was us, it was us first..."

Occupying such a precious information channel, yet only spewing nonsense, is something only the older generation is qualified to do. After a brief analysis, Songbo understood the reason for these elders' roaring—the reason they were so angry was simply because they had never enjoyed such treatment.

Although the Ignivas people have eaten food cooked by the serpent god according to their genealogical records, being specially invited to eat like this is something the Ignivas people have never experienced before.

"Is this something to be angry about?"

The young man, Songbo, was quite puzzled; he couldn't quite understand why his elders were in such a hurry.

However, whether or not singing bowls could understand, this pressure still ultimately weighed on his head.

That was an order from his elders. The elders of the clan wanted him to go and see, without revealing his identity, what kind of delicious meal their snake god had prepared for that wooden figure.

"Is this... really worth it?"

Songbo was somewhat reluctant to do it, but under the roar of his elders, he had no choice but to comply.

Fortunately, the wooden figure's tracks were quite obvious, and since the consciousness aggregate had no specific form, Songbo quickly made his way into the city and found a hidden cellar.

"This……"

As the wooden figure gradually sank into the cellar, Songbo was speechless for a long time.

The reason was that the cellar was filled with excrement.

"They actually ate shit..."

Songbo was already thinking of turning around and leaving, simply because the stench here was just too strong.

But at that very moment, the elders of the clan suddenly roared in his mind.

"What do you know! This is the snake god's excrement!"
