Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 439 Frozen Thousands of Miles
The aquamarine planet is gradually being covered by an ice shell.

The frigid temperature was beyond even the Seed of Creation's judgment. The plants and animals left outside had long since withered away in the cold environment—and even those creatures left inside by the Seed of Creation were not faring much better.

The treehouse couldn't retain much heat, and even the trees were frozen in place. The roots of the Seed of Creation itself were damaged, and the creatures inside were suffering terribly.

This is the result after the Seed of Creation has exerted all its strength.

Ultimately, although it is operating according to instinctive memories, what it is doing now is completely different from what it is supposed to do.

Normal seeds of creation take root all the way to the core of a planet. Their roots no longer flow with tree sap, but with molten lava. So even crossing the void is no problem for them. They draw power from an entire planet and are themselves a heat source.

However, the Pope of the Earth Church, known as the First Godwood, followed a completely different path of development. Before making a covenant with the Earth, its attempts to extract the Earth's power were not successful, and after making a covenant with the planet itself, it never did such a thing again.

This also directly results in the fact that it cannot generate heat on its own like other seeds of creation.

"Is it too late to draw it now?"

Du Yi, whose body was already stiff from the cold, looked at the Seed of Creation.

But the wooden figure in front of him simply shook its head.

How could they possibly have time? Even if they drew upon the earth's energy, it would take time to convert it. Moreover, the planet beneath their feet was already on guard against them, so how could it possibly allow them to do so?

Ultimately, even if all life on the Earth's surface were to die, it would have no bearing on the planet itself.

As long as those beings die on the planet itself and do not take any matter belonging to the planet out, the planet can accept them.

In fact, it would be a good thing for the planet if all these creatures died out, since no one wants to be infested with a group of strange creatures that might take something away at any time.

This may explain why the planet itself did not react when the Seed of Creation attempted to leave.

From the perspective of the planet itself, everything that grows on its surface is a burden.

"The land beneath our feet isn't so friendly to us..."

For the first time, the Seed of Creation felt a pang of regret. Had it known it was a trap, it shouldn't have jumped in willingly.

Now, a simple attempt has become a path to death.

"Actually... we have another heat source."

It was at this moment that Du Yi spoke.

You should still remember him.

"You mean..."

Just as the Seed of Creation raised its head, Du Yi flicked its tail.

Immediately afterwards, an Ignivas man walked in. Judging from the flames all over his body and the scorching heat around him, it was clearly more effective than any campfire.

"It's finally getting warmer."

After the young Ignivas man's singing bowl entered the house, Dui, who was almost frozen stiff, finally relaxed a little.

However, one Ignivas was clearly not enough. Du Yi was warm, but the rest of the people, the Tahrir people, and all the other creatures were still shivering from the cold.

Even if the Seed of Creation has begun to actively burn its own roots in an attempt to warm these creatures, it is difficult to truly solve any problems.

"It would be even better if there were more Ignivas."

Du Yi, who had recovered somewhat, sighed.

“There are still too few Ignivas... Let's go back, we still have a lot of preparations to make.” “...Okay.”

Despite feeling somewhat defeated, the Seed of Creation nodded, simply because its father was right; the journey had been doomed from the very beginning.

While there's still some warmth to keep those creatures alive, and while everything can still be salvaged, going back is indeed a better choice.

However, just as the Seed of Creation was slowly turning around, preparing to follow the pull of the spiritual energy field back to its original position...

But a new heat source has descended upon the planet.

The Seeds of Creation could sense that it was an incredibly intense heat source, and flames were burning on their bodies, the heat of which was even enough to melt ice shells.

"This is……"

The Seed of Creation paused, momentarily stunned.

These are the Ignivas.

It wasn't just one, but many more Ignivas, who wielded the power of fire, igniting everything they wanted to burn.

Of course, they would at least have to melt the ice shell before they could burn what they actually wanted to burn.

Otherwise, in such an environment, the flames would not be able to burn properly and would not cause any damage.

Burn them! Burn them all!

The group of Ignivas who landed on the ground were wantonly destroying everything in their path.

But this new heat gave the Seed of Creation an opportunity. The warm water brought by the melting ice shell, although not very hot, still brought it some heat.

Even the creatures living in the treehouses, buried underground for warmth, felt a bit of warmth.

"This doesn't seem like a bad thing?"

Du Yi was also stunned for a moment, then looked at the Seed of Creation.

"If that's the case, then it seems like we don't need to turn around?"

Ultimately, Du Yi also wanted to see other planets; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to such a crazy adventure.

As for the Ignivas who are currently wreaking havoc on the planet's surface...

"Then let them burn it."

If the planet were still in its original location, this would certainly be extremely dangerous, but right now the planet itself is frozen, so no matter how much the Ignivas vent their anger, they are just repeating the work of boiling water.

They might not even be able to boil it, since the void itself is constantly absorbing the planet's heat, and the ice shell covering the surface is just too much and too thick. The Ignivas can only burn out one vast ocean after another.

"From this perspective, hypothermia is the most difficult first step in crossing the sea of ​​stars."

After this experience, Du Yi gained some understanding of the void. Indeed, traversing the sea of ​​stars with one's physical body is not an easy task.

It was only by chance that the Ignivas, who were skilled at manipulating fire, gained the ability to traverse the stars in their physical bodies ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, to achieve this, one would have to elevate oneself to the level of a star.

"But what made these Ignivas think of, actually coming to the surface of the planet to set fires?"
