Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 411: Can reconciliation be possible?
As more and more energy poured in, the black flames covering the body finally became beyond the control of the singing bowl.

The flames no longer obeyed the will of the singing bowl, but instinctively wanted to seek more. No matter how hard the singing bowl tried to control them, the flames remained unmoved—simply because they were still immersed in burning, immersed in absorbing energy.

At this moment, the flames, which were originally just inanimate objects, seemed to have come to life.

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

It was at this moment that Songbo suddenly realized that coming to attack and kill this evil ancient serpent seemed to be a huge mistake.

He thought that based on the myths and legends recorded in his tribe, he already had a sufficient understanding of this evil ancient serpent.

But now it seems...

Let alone him, are the myths and legends of the tribe, those ancient records, really that accurate?
Ultimately, the myths of the Ignivas only came from the perspective of the Ignivas themselves.

The Ignivas people actually knew nothing about their serpent god.

"Let's go! We have to go!"

The thought immediately popped into the singing bowl's mind.

The Ignivas are called warriors, but their fighting philosophy is inherited from ancient hunting. When faced with prey that is too ferocious and they absolutely cannot handle it, no hunter would be foolish enough to choose to fight to the death.

A good hunter should leave temporarily, plan ahead, and return to continue hunting only after he has fully prepared.

However, even if the singing bowl wanted to leave, it couldn't now.

The fire shield that was originally meant to protect him has instead become a cage that traps him. The dark flames have escaped his control. He should be the one controlling the fire giant outside his body, but now he is the one locked inside the fire giant's body.

"Why!"

The singing bowl roared loudly.

"I'm the one in control of you!"

However, no matter how much the singing bowl imposed its will upon him, it could not change the fact that he was trapped and killed by the flames.

Perhaps at times, a firm will can indeed change reality, but that is often because this firm will itself conforms to the laws of reality.

Just like the Ignivas' control over fire, which made them invincible, but that was only because there was something ignitable that allowed the burning to happen.

But now, the will of the singing bowl is defying this law, trying to make the flames give up the energy they have.

How could that flame possibly follow his wishes?

The flames not only did not follow his wishes, but even turned against him, treating him as an enemy. The flames that should not have harmed the Ignivas suddenly became scorching hot.

With the constant feeding and burning, the temperature of those flames had exceeded the limits that the Ignivas could withstand.

In an instant, Songbo was completely absorbed into the flames.

However, the flames still could not harm the Ignivas.

The flames destroyed the singing bowl's body, but they could not damage its will. Under extreme pain, the singing bowl's consciousness became more and more solid—it was true that it had lost its body, but it had also completely merged with the flames.

This is the final form of the Ignivas, transcending the constraints of the physical body and using flames as their form, thus achieving a true leap forward.

However, this form is also dangerous for him.

Flames are easy to ignite, but they are also easy to extinguish. Only some older elders know how to solve this problem. They are all conscious of preserving their flames. But the current singing bowl has no such experience. He doesn't even know how to preserve the flame.

Therefore, he could only, like the flame itself, constantly receive energy from the outside world to strengthen himself and prevent his consciousness from being extinguished along with the flame. It was at this moment that the singing bowl came to understand the flame itself.

"No, not just flames, everything needs energy, so, so..."

Therefore, the snake god is right.

Although in the eyes of the previous singing bowl, a stupid ancient serpent that only knew how to roast meat could not possibly be considered a god.

Only after experiencing it firsthand can one know that the generous gesture of distributing energy outward, the desire to satisfy all beings, is what else could it be but a deity.
Perhaps the process was a bit rough, and even lacked a sense of ceremony.

But in essence, and considering the subsequent outcome, this was undoubtedly a gift that only a deity could bestow.

The snake god was right, the people were right, the ancient legend, though it differs somewhat from reality, is ultimately true...

"and many more?"

Suddenly, I felt like there was something wrong with the singing bowl.

If the tribespeople are right, then what is he doing here?

After all, in his memory, the reason he came here was because his people were extremely dissatisfied with this ancient serpent, so he returned to his home planet to eliminate the pest.

but……

The tribespeople have no objection to the existence of the snake god, do they?
Where did that hatred in his memory, that loathing for the ancient serpent, and that resentment towards the enslavement of his people come from?

"hiss……"

Singing Bowl suddenly came to its senses.

Perhaps because his body was completely destroyed, and even his brain was burned to ashes, the singing bowl was now free from the control of the brainwashing—when the laws of reality were laid out before him, when he personally experienced the logic of how the world works, when he personally felt what the serpent god was doing.

His consciousness gradually returned to clarity.

With this thought, the originally black flames gradually faded and turned into bright flames.

Even the flames that were previously out of his control have returned to the singing bowl's control.

After all, he no longer has any conflict with those flames.

The flames that originated from him naturally embraced him again.

"I……"

The fire giant in mid-air gradually descended to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, she knelt down on the ground, covered her face, and began to cry bitterly.

This was a release of emotions for the singing bowl, since it had just done something wrong and was now being forgiven so easily, which only intensified its guilt.

However, in Du Yi's eyes, this was a different matter altogether.

"Is this charcoal really that delicious?"

Seeing the fire giant kneel down and weep, Du Yi, who was about to continue throwing charcoal, subconsciously stopped.

"So delicious you'll cry? Really?"
