Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 436 Collision
As we all know, the movement of a planet is mainly divided into two parts: one is the revolution around the star under the influence of the star's gravity, and the other is its own rotation, also known as its axial rotation.

However, there are very rare instances where a third possibility exists. For example, right now, when the Seed of Creation uses all the power it should have used to escape the planet to propel the planet, the planet's rotation speed suddenly increases.

This change is not limited to the rotation speed; even the revolution speed has deviated from its original trajectory.

It was as if the entire planet had been given a hard push by a giant hand.

It's not backwards, it's forwards.

Instead of retreating, the entire planet advanced, stubbornly heading towards the elves' planet.

The collision, which was originally expected to occur in nearly two months, was brought much closer.

"As expected, it's impossible to completely avoid it. The planet itself is too heavy. I can only accelerate its orbit and make a slight deflection..."

The Seed of Creation, which controls the root system, says this.

"At most, the head-on collision will be changed to a glancing blow, but a collision is inevitable, and given the size of the two planets, whether it's a glancing blow or a head-on collision, it will definitely be a natural disaster."

"That's enough. We've done what we were supposed to do."

Du Yi nodded, indicating that the Seed of Creation had done a good job.

"Now it's the turn of those long-eared elves, the turn of the creatures on another planet, to do what they have to do."

"Peace or destruction?"

"They still have one last chance to make a choice."

On another planet, the elves, who had just finished a great battle, were also stunned when they saw the great star in the distance rushing towards them.

"They actually rammed into us on their own...Are they crazy?"

As the star on the horizon grew larger and larger, fear welled up in the elves' hearts.

It's incomprehensible and inexplicable. Both sides could have found better solutions, but the other side chose a suicidal tactic.

If those alien natives were simply willing to risk their lives to protect the planet itself, then it would be fine.

But if they're simply reckless, even using the planet itself as a life-threatening resource, then that's a different story.

Those who have nothing are often the most fearless.

Those alien natives might risk their lives, but the elves cannot. The elves have a long history and culture, and most importantly, they are not insane.

They didn't want to lose their lives in a pointless collision.

"Fortunately, we can also use the methods of those beings on distant alien planets."

This is perhaps the only piece of comforting news.

Although moving a planet sounds difficult, it might actually be feasible given the elves' current power. After all, they have mastered the power of the earth and can easily summon mage towers from the ground as long as they stay within their homeland.

So, what if we replaced the mage tower with a thruster?
Deploy numerous thrusters on the planet, then activate them for propulsion, causing the planet to deviate from its original orbit—completely deviating would certainly be difficult, but even a partial deviation, changing a head-on collision to a glancing blow, would be better.

Although even a minor collision would be a cataclysmic event for a planet of this size, minimizing the impact is always better.

"And, that planet that's crashing into us in the distance seems to be adjusting its angle as well?"

Some elves noticed this, but dared not be too sure, so they could only assume it was an illusion.

Soon, one thruster after another rose from the ground. The Elf race proved their war potential with their strength. All the thrusters were completed in less than two days, which can be described as extremely efficient.

Then, another problem was placed before the elves.

Backwards or forwards?
Some elves wanted to move backward, especially the Starsea faction. They felt that since the thrusters were already built, they could avoid a collision by escaping. At worst, they could just chase each other on the same orbit.

This is a clear path to survival, better than sending someone to their death.

The local faction, on the other hand, adheres to a different set of ideas. While they do value their homeland more, they also believe that in a close contest, the brave will prevail.

In other words, even if we die, we should die standing up.

"And this is the real way to survive."

The local faction argued their case forcefully.

"Whether they move aside or we move aside, once we pass each other, it won't be easy for either side to collide again in a short time."

"And besides, nobody wants to crash again, right?"

"But we could have avoided the collision!"

The Xinghai faction was not to be outdone.

"As long as we are fast enough, the aliens behind us won't be able to catch up with us. Why don't you understand!"

So, just like always, once two options are presented, the elves will inevitably start fighting.

Fortunately, compared to the Astral faction, the local faction, which handled everything from start to finish, had its own ideas.

In fact, before those high-ranking officials even started their squabble, the native elves had already begun their actions.

They adjusted the angle and power of the thrusters so that they wouldn't need a head-on collision, but could simply pass by from the side; they believed they could do it.

And they also realized that the beings on that alien planet opposite them thought the same thing.

If only one side changes its trajectory, the collision can indeed only be reduced to a scraping or grazing. However, if both sides change their trajectories together, even scraping or grazing will not occur.

This is not something that can be done by one party alone; it requires the joint efforts of both parties.

Those native elves who were in charge of the propulsion system suddenly felt a little wistful.

Although they had almost forgotten about the war with the Astral Faction, they remembered very clearly how they went to alien planets to cause destruction.

And now, the alien beings on that planet have even given them a dignified way to survive.

This is really...

"Accept it, accept this kindness."

The new generation of local leader, Vakis, looked at the approaching star and sighed.

"If we don't accept it, we'll probably just get hit and killed. That's what that alien life form is showing us."

"Is it better to choose peace and tranquility, or to endure natural disasters and the catastrophe that destroys everything?"

"It seems like there's no way we could have made the wrong choice."

As he said this, the new generation of local leaders waved their hands.

"Forward! We're taking cover!"

With such a slogan, the two enormous planets drew ever closer.

Then, we passed each other by.
