Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 426 is all yours.
Just as Du Yi was about to return to his barbecuing place after failing to find anything during the search, news came from the Underworld that the Four Gods of the Star Sea had surrendered.

Du Yi had heard this news countless times. After all, every time he was tortured, he managed to beat the souls of the Four Gods of the Star Sea to the point of begging for mercy. So this time, he didn't really take it seriously, just thinking that the Four Gods of the Star Sea were deceiving him again.

This time, however, the Four Star Gods showed an extremely strong willingness to surrender.

"What do you mean by 'this is the only way to survive'?"

Hearing the Four Star Gods speak so seriously, Du Yi also projected his consciousness into the Underworld.

"Aren't you all doing just fine now?"

"It is now, but it may not be in the future."

The four gods of the starry sea exchanged glances, and in the end, they let the god of courage, whose face was covered with scars, step forward.

Although the God of Courage wasn't the most eloquent among them, this warrior's words were more convincing than those of the Mysterious God, who spouted nonsense.

"Ultimately, this is a problem of our own."

With a sigh, the God of Courage revealed their entire plan, including how they had imbued flesh and blood with their consciousness and how they could have these flesh and blood rescue them.

Then, how did these flesh and blood twist into a knot, and how did they become this traitor?

"That's about it, so if we want to survive, we have no choice but to surrender."

"Otherwise, the others will take all our power, which would be no different from being dead."

Taking a deep breath, the god of courage bowed his head.

"We're willing to do anything we can to kill that egg."

Such a humble posture wouldn't be surprising if it were the God of Mystery, the two-headed eagle, but it was quite rare for Du Yi to see it coming from this scarred warrior.

However, it is rare as it may be.

Why did he agree to this?
"I was going to torture you anyway, this is just another layer of torture for me, it's not a bad thing for me, so why should I help you?"

"Because this is indeed a bad thing for you."

The god of destruction, who is also the god of life, spoke up.

"Because that egg carries our flesh and blood, since it has chosen to betray us and no longer regard saving us as its goal, its only remaining motivation is to strengthen itself and become one of us."

"Then, it also has the ability to enter various subspaces. With its abilities, it is more than capable of plundering everything it wants in various subspaces, and then..."

Then it started snowballing.

Simply put, it's a search, attack, and retreat, but it's a search, attack, and retreat for an egg. If you treat the various subspaces on the planet as game instances, then this monster egg can use these instances to make rapid progress in a short period of time.

After all, the flow of time in the subspace is not synchronized with that in the material world.

The so-called subspace is often a fragment of the sea of ​​consciousness, which means that when the fragment is captured, the so-called time of the material world has no effect on it.

Subspaces often form their own systems with their own independent rules, but they also contain many forces that are related to the material world and can even bring back to the material world.

"At that time, what you will see is a terrifying aggregate that combines the power of the four of us and even uses some of the planet's native power."

"In order to grow itself, it will definitely turn around and devour you, so this is not a good thing for you either."

At this point, the God of Destruction stopped.

Meanwhile, Du Yi also began to ponder.

"An enemy of the future..."

Du Yi roughly understood the meaning of the four gods.

If that's the case, then accepting the surrender of the Four Gods doesn't seem like a problem. After all, judging from the current state of the Four Gods of the Star Sea, it's practically the same as surrendering.

But since it's no different from surrendering, why should he accept this avatar? It's just a future enemy. If he accepts the Star Gods' conditions just because of this, then there's really something wrong with him.

Therefore, faced with the reconciliation terms offered by the Four Gods of the Star Sea, Du Yi's choice was...

"Since you created this mess yourselves, then you should deal with it yourselves."

“I will not accept your surrender, nor will I let you leave. Since you can still cause trouble even if you are imprisoned in the Underworld, let’s just settle this matter here in the Underworld.”

"If it can be resolved, everything will be fine. If it can't be resolved... well, that egg came from me after all. I think it would be quite suitable for it to replace the four of you."

After saying that, Du Yi left the Underworld.

Only the four Star Gods remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This...is it a failure?"

The face of the god of courage, covered in scars, was filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that even after risking his reputation, he still couldn't persuade the giant snake.

If you ask the four of them to come up with a solution in the subspace, what solutions can they possibly come up with?
If they had any other options, why would they choose to admit defeat and bow down to that giant serpent?

However, it seems too late to say anything now. The giant serpent has already made its decision: to replace all four of them and then kill four new ones. For the giant serpent, it doesn't seem like a matter that requires much thought.

Since the giant serpent doesn't need to think, it's the four of them's turn to think.

Thinking about how to deal with the remaining flesh and blood, thinking about how to survive.

"Actually... there really is a way."

It was at this moment that the God of Mysteries suddenly spoke.

"This is indeed our problem, but what if we could turn this problem into the snake's problem?"

"What do you mean? How can this be changed?"

The other three gods were somewhat puzzled.

Then the God of Mystery spoke.

"What do you think life itself hates most?"

"We can't win!" The God of Courage was the first to speak.

"They won't survive." That was the God of Destruction's thought.

"It's impossible." That's the opinion of the god of desire.

"Both are right, and neither are right."

The God of Mysteries shook his head.

"What life itself hates most is actually loss."

"If you can't win, it means you were never going to win in the first place. If you can't survive, it's an environmental problem. If you can't do it, it's just that things are too difficult."

"But losing your own things is something no one can accept."

"So, we just need to give all our power to that snake. Anyway, we're trapped in the Underworld now, so this power is useless to us."

"After the snake absorbs this power, if this power is then lost again..."

"Then our business truly becomes his business."
