Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 433 All Evolving
The strange egg appeared only for a moment, and the four dragon kings seemed to have been attacked, their power instantly drained.

The power bestowed upon them by the Four Star Gods vanished in an instant, replaced by a vast emptiness and a fundamental weakness originating from within their bodies.

This directly led to the four dragon kings having to immediately draw upon the power of the mutated water to barely make up for the deficit.

But just as they were harnessing the mutated water, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the monstrous egg...

The strange egg had already disappeared.

"What was that just now...?"

The King of Steel and Weapons was still somewhat dazed.

If it weren't for the unusual sensation within its body, the loss of that power would remind it that something had indeed just happened.

It probably just thinks that what happened was an illusion.

"What exactly is that thing...?"

"That egg carries the aura of the Pope Father."

The most composed of them all, the King of Earth and Mountains, recalled his feelings from that brief moment and nodded.

“That’s right, it does carry the scent of a snake. It must have been sent by the Pope Father.”

It's not surprising that they were sent by the Pope's father. They had just given them power before, and now they wanted to take that power back—it's just that the way they were taking it back was a bit too brutal, so much so that none of the four of them felt good.

But if we don't use harsh methods, would they be willing to give it to us?
They probably weren't willing, since they had already fallen into their hands. With continuous use, they had become as easy to use as their own limbs. Although at the beginning, these powers were not very useful against the mutated water, it was a different story after defeating the mutated water.

They actually wanted to preserve such a useful power, even if it was just a part of it.

Therefore, even though their power was drained, there was still a seed remaining within their four bodies.

As long as the seeds remain, even without power, given a little time, they can still continue to exercise those powers.

"As long as the Pope's father doesn't see it."

Each of the four dragons has its own little schemes.

Although they had completed the main task, the four dragons' work was not yet finished. They still needed to continue to control the polluted, mutated water, remove its active substances, and ensure that it gradually became drinkable.

At this point, the four dragons started to slack off. They all knew that their purpose was to control the floods, and once the floods were controlled, they would no longer be needed. They would likely be removed from their dragon bodies and transformed back into ordinary Taheris people.

This was clearly unacceptable to the four dragons, especially after they had tasted the feeling of power and strength; they were even less willing to transform back into human form.

“Take it slow. The volume of water is too large. If we want to filter the water, it will take a lot of time.”

With this in mind, the four dragons brought the message back to Tahrir.

Of course, only the message went back; the four dragons themselves did not return, as they were all worried that they might be detained if they went back.

However, it was clear that Du Yi hadn't thought that far ahead. He was already quite satisfied that the four dragons had produced some effect.

"It seems that the methods of those four Star Sea Evil Gods really worked. This kind of application and diffusion of power... isn't it just about making others your hands and feet?"

Du Yi, who had no hands or feet, quickly grasped everything after just one try. "It seems to be a really good method. I think I did it this way before."

Recalling his previous interactions with those long-eared elves, Du Yi realized that he seemed to have done something similar before.

However, at that time he was not aware of this, so the operation was somewhat chaotic.

At that time, he had no clear idea and simply expressed his philosophy to every elf he encountered. This kind of wide-net approach seemed fine, but in reality, it had the opposite effect.

Casting a wide net means that each elf will only be superficially affected, and their will to peace will not be very firm, so how could they possibly carry out his ideas?

"I need to focus on training a few key individuals, and then use them as my hands and feet to carry out my will!"

Du Yi felt that his thinking had evolved.

Now that we know what to do, the rest is easy. However, there is still one tricky thing to do: ever since the new generation of Ignivas were influenced by him, those long-eared elves have simply stopped coming over.

It seems he has lost contact with the other planet, and the two planets are unable to connect with each other to fight against Upo Salas, who is lurking in the shadows.

"We must unite all forces that can be united."

With that in mind, Du Yi simply vanished into the underworld.

He had little experience with the Star Sea, but the four evil gods had roamed the Star Sea for many years. If the four Star Sea gods were really willing to cooperate, they would definitely be willing to share their knowledge on this matter.

While Du Yi was busy with his own affairs, the Seed of Creation continued its water filtration work. It had now completed its control over all humans, and even most living beings were included in it.

Currently, these creatures live not so much on the earth as they live within the Seed of Creation. If the Seed of Creation stops supplying water for two days, a large number of creatures will die on the spot.

In a sense, the Seed of Creation did indeed accomplish what it had always wanted to do, except that it had initially intended to become the World Tree by taking root in the ground.

But now, it has become the world tree in the true sense.

When it provides the corresponding opportunity for survival, everything begins to depend on it for survival, which also allows it to mobilize more resources and exert more power—however, for the Seed of Creation itself, it has always been that sapling, and it can abandon everything at any time if it wants to leave.

But none of them could give it up; everything depended on its existence to survive.

"If this continues... wait?"

The Seed of Creation suddenly thought of a question.

Since they can do this to these Tahririans.

So, could we do the same thing with those long-eared elves?

It seems really feasible.

As the saying goes, you have to give something to get something. If it can enable those long-eared elves to live the same life, then sooner or later they will become part of it, just like these Tahririans.

At that time, peace will truly arrive.
