Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 437 The Wandering Planet
Peace seems to have arrived temporarily.

Since they are on the same orbit, the two planets may still collide, but in any case, it will be some time before the next collision—and with previous experience, both sides know the corresponding solutions.

That's a tacit collision, a tacit choice to avoid each other at the same time. As long as neither side wants to collide, then a collision won't happen.

This also relieved the elves, even though it was only a brief period of peace, the long-standing pressure of death had left them exhausted.

Although the situation is not completely resolved and they will have to continue to face it in the future, even if it is only a temporary relief, it is enough for them.

There's no need to continue fighting, at least not for the time being.

But is it really unnecessary?

"Now that we don't need to worry about external enemies for the time being, it's time to address our internal problems."

Almost immediately after confirming their safety, the local faction launched a purge against the Starry Sea faction.

The reason for the purge is simple: when the thrusters were being built, it was all done by the local faction, and the Starsea faction did not provide any effective support—or rather, even if they did provide some support, it was too little.

Such a big thing, and not even a little support? What is the Star Sea Faction trying to do?
Thus, under the guise of righteousness, the local faction brazenly launched a war.

The Starsea faction was caught off guard. They had been celebrating the arrival of peace, and this was the first time they had felt that there was indeed goodwill in the Starsea. In other words, the elves could really try to follow the Starsea route to improve their own level of civilization.

However, it was during this time of banquet and singing that the local faction came knocking, blowing up five mage towers and causing countless deaths and injuries.

There's nothing more to say then, since the two sides have had a long-standing feud anyway.

"Indeed, we still need to deal with these internal parasites first."

Ephesus, the chief mage and leader of the Starsea faction, raised his staff.

"Kill them!"

The planet, which had just ushered in peace, has once again fallen into civil war, with two factions of elves fighting each other and treating each other as mortal enemies.

However, this has nothing to do with Du Yi.

This is because, under the control of the Seed of Creation, this aquamarine planet has not continued to travel along its original orbit at all.

Instead, it kept moving forward, ever forward.

“Is this reliable?”

Looking up at the sun, which was getting smaller and smaller in the sky, Du Yi squinted.

Are you sure you can really do it this way?

"try it."

This is the answer from the Seed of Creation.

"At least in my memory, it was possible to do that."

The memories the Seed spoke of were not its later experiences, but rather some instincts that were engraved in its memory when it was still a seed.

If it is still the original Seed of Creation, then after draining a planet and completely absorbing everything there, it will drift away to find the next planet to sow its seeds. This way of traveling through the stars is instinctive for it.

Now, the only difference is that, compared to what I remember, it's dragging an extra planet along with it.

Although I only brought a few more things, the differences inside are huge.

For example, the most basic question: the survival of all living beings on this planet. The farther away a planet is from the sun, the colder its surface becomes. After all, once it's far from that only heat source, there's nothing left to keep warm. Even light disappears, leaving only ever-longer nights. Not everyone can endure that.

Fortunately, the Seed of Creation had done some preparation for this, such as the treehouses made from its roots, which can actually be used as life support pods, providing for food, clothing, shelter, and even air and light.

"As for those creatures outside, I've taken in some of them, and I'm going to use the rest as a control group."

The Seed of Creation reported its actions to the giant serpent.

"Life will always find its own way. Perhaps other creatures will become something we can't even imagine."

"It's uncertain what will happen; they might even freeze to death."

Du Yi had already curled up into a ball.

It's getting colder and colder.

As the planet moves further away from the sun, its temperature drops rapidly.

Du Yi, being a cold-blooded animal, is particularly sensitive to these temperature changes.

"If it's really troublesome, we can just do what Father said and go back."

This is the final method for the Seed of Creation, and it was agreed upon by both parties beforehand.

The Seed of Creation is responsible for making tentative explorations to see if it can take the planet to another star system without damage. But if it can't, then it has to go back to the side of the sun and return to its original position.

After all, nothing has happened to the sun itself, so there's nothing wrong with them going back to stay there.

"Furthermore, this is also a kind of intellectual battle."

This is the third level of thinking about the Seed of Creation.

Its brief encounter with Upo Salas had given it a keen sense of the latter's cunning and shrewdness. The shift in roles between hunter and prey had also given it a lot of inspiration—after all, if it remembered correctly, its father, the giant snake before it, had survived several assassination attempts.

In other words, its father has been treated as prey.

Now, the prey didn't stay put; it ran away on its own.

So how should Upo Salas, as the hunter, respond?
“You were the one hunting us before, now it’s our turn to hunt you.”

As the Seed of Creation propelled the planet's movement, it attempted to detect any unusual fluctuations in its surroundings, all the while marveling at its father's wisdom.

It's likely that its father had already foreseen this before it even had the thought, since it was almost inevitable that it would want to drive the planet away. In other words, its father had already predicted that such a change of identity would occur in the future.

"amazing!"

The Seed of Creation swayed its wooden head, feeling as if it had become wiser.

The planet slowly moved forward in the sea of ​​stars, traversing the dark void. As it gradually moved away from the star behind it, a layer of ice began to form on its surface.

It was at this moment that the Seed of Creation suddenly sensed that abnormal fluctuation.

It remembers this fluctuation, after all, it once chose to give up part of its roots because of it.

"This is it!"

The Seed of Creation suddenly raised its head and looked into the distant void.
