Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 420 Wishing Machine

Because of sudden constipation, he ended up with a strange wishing machine. Du Yi felt that this was a bit too outrageous.

So, to see if this wishing machine was really real, Du Yi decided to give it a try.

"Can it really do everything?"

The strange egg conveyed a sense of affirmation.

It's willing to do anything as long as it can survive.

"Well."

After thinking for a moment, Du Yi promised what he wanted right now.

"I hope for world peace."

The strange egg, which had been continuously emitting consciousness, suddenly froze.

What kind of wish is this? And how can such a wish be fulfilled?
If it could truly fulfill such a wish, the first thing it would do would be to at least make the giant snake be at peace with it and not kill it.

However, it's quite obvious that if it could really do that, it wouldn't be here begging for its life.

So the strange egg could only try to emit waves once more, indicating that it was willing to do anything else.

"You can't even do it?"

Du Yi was already a little disappointed with this strange egg, after all, it didn't seem to be all-powerful.

"Can you solve the water problem?"

The water problem, specifically the problematic river water, remains unknown to Du Yi and the Seed of Creation. They still don't know when the river pollution started or what exactly this pollution entails.

They could only see the consequences: everything that came into contact with the river would be assimilated by it.

Even though they now have distillation technology that can temporarily produce some drinkable water, this is only a temporary solution and not a long-term solution.

It would be better to clean the water thoroughly again.

However, this is a problem that even the egg itself cannot solve.

It's more likely to be processed by the river water than to be processed by it. Just like now, if you throw it directly into the river, it will definitely sink as soon as it hits the water and be assimilated into nothingness.

Therefore, this problem is even more difficult for the strange egg than the previous one.

"Let's choose another one, let's choose another one."

The strange egg was already filled with despair. It even wondered if the giant snake in front of it had seen through its disguise and was deliberately asking these two completely unsolvable questions to torment it.

"Please, I'll do anything to keep me alive."

The humility emanating from that consciousness was also captured by Du Yi and the Seed of Creation.

This only made Du Yi more confused.

"It can't do this, it can't do that, can this really be considered a wish-granting machine?"

Thinking this, Du Yi glanced at the Seed of Creation.

"Why don't you come? What's your wish?"

"my words……"

The Seed of Creation paused, momentarily stunned.

What could it possibly wish for?
As a sapling, its wish had always been simple: to grow strong and healthy. Nothing else mattered to it. And now, it was indeed growing strong, even exceptionally well. Although, strictly speaking, it hadn't taken root in the ground for a long time, it now had a much richer source of nutrients: Tahrir's large septic tank. All the fertilizer was reserved for its own use, including some of the finest fertilizer from its father. This was an unprecedentedly fertile environment for it.

The Seed of Creation has never seen any other similar seeds, but even if it did, it would say that even drawing upon the planet's own resources would be far inferior to its current treatment.

Moreover, and most importantly, in addition to its physical growth, its spiritual development has also been greatly nurtured.

Those were the teachings from its father, the life experience of another immortal species, which were gradually being poured into its mind as it spent time with it day after day.

In the process of learning, it gradually learned how to be a long-lived species, how to get along with short-lived species, and how to get along with the surrounding environment... The Seed of Creation could be sure that its future was limitless.

Since the future is so promising, all it needs to do is follow the path; in other words, it has no current desires.

If I had to say what my wish was, it would probably be to serve my father a little longer, since, according to the Tahrir people, there will always be a time when father and son must part.

It wished that moment could come slowly, even though it and its father were both immortal beings, it still felt it should continue to learn more.

Of course, it would be best if that moment never came.

That means it can keep learning forever, and keep learning indefinitely.

So, is it possible?

The Seed of Creation refined itself and then looked at the strange egg in front of it.

"Can you promise to let me serve my father forever?"

This is your business, not my business, so why are you asking me?
The strange egg felt that nothing it encountered was normal. First, the strange snake was toying with it by doing impossible things, and then there was this sapling, which directly expressed a wish that had nothing to do with it—whether it could stay by the giant snake's side was the sapling's own wish, so what did it have to do with it?
"Let's choose another one, let's choose another one."

The strange egg tried its best to express its will.

Even if you can't do it, you should still show that you want to do it. After all, only if it has value does it have the right to live.

Otherwise, if it really had no value whatsoever, wouldn't it have died instantly if the snake and the sapling had even a thought?
"I'm willing to do anything."

"I'm willing to do anything, but I can't do this kind of thing?"

The Seed of Creation also showed a degree of disdain towards this strange, unfamiliar egg.

It's not that it's jealous of this strange egg that came from its father's body and seems to be a sibling, but mainly it's that they are both seeds, yet it has accomplished such a great thing, while this strange egg... is only this much?

How can someone who can't do anything be worthy of being a father's son or his younger brother?

"you……"

According to the idea of ​​the Seed of Creation, such useless things that can't do anything and whose birth method is so strange should have been disposed of.

However, considering that this body originated from its father, and might even be a sibling born of the same father, it ultimately had to consider its father's opinion.

So, should we kill him?

The idea of ​​the Seed of Creation is simple and straightforward.

"This thing seems to be completely useless."

"Keep it."

Du Yi's expression was quite subtle as he looked at the first egg he had laid.

He was curious to see what was going on with this strange egg.
