Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 442 The Teaching of the Four Gods

Life depends on heat, which comes from movement, which in turn comes from the drive of consciousness, and the driving force of consciousness comes from the power of the soul.

At least in the eyes of the four Star Sea Evil Gods, this is the logical chain.

Therefore, when the four evil gods of the star sea were giving guidance, they directly followed the direction of soul cultivation. Their most familiar way of soul cultivation was to undergo many trials—in fact, they often did similar things when training believers, so they were quite familiar with this kind of thing.

Since the snake in front of them was determined to cultivate, they had no choice but to repeat what they were familiar with.

"Let's make this clear first, we're helping you cultivate, and we're only using your own power. Don't kill us."

Before anything began, the four Star Sea Evil Gods issued a disclaimer.

This puzzled Du Yi quite a bit; why was it necessary to mention this in advance?

But immediately, Du Yi realized why he had to say that.

In the very next second, everything before his eyes suddenly changed. The surroundings were no longer the warm, flower-filled meadows of the Underworld, but a bloody battlefield. All the enemies that Du Yi had ever encountered, seen, or even fought against rushed towards him, engaging in a fierce battle.

It sounds scary, but for Du Yi, there aren't many people who can truly be considered enemies.

This directly resulted in the images that rushed towards Du Yi transforming into giant eagles and countless Star Sea Gods.

"Oh no."

Before the fight even started, Du Yi had already burst out laughing. After all, the scene was just too ridiculous. Those copy-pasted Star Sea Four Gods were obviously fake.

"Is this what spiritual practice is?"

"...Yes, this is spiritual practice."

The scene before them returned to the meadows of the underworld, and the god of courage sat back down with a gloomy expression.

For the god of courage, tempering one's will and soul through countless battles is a tried-and-true method. After all, as long as one lives in this world, one will inevitably encounter conflict and enemies.

However, the appearance of an enemy does not only mean difficulties; a good enemy is often equivalent to forging oneself in iron.

The more it is honed, the sharper it becomes.

Every arduous battle signifies another elevation of the soul.

But the God of Courage never expected that this giant serpent would have so few combat experiences, and even when it drew upon enemies from its memories, it couldn't find many truly worthy opponents.

"I can't do it anymore, let's find another one."

The god of courage decisively chose to give up, as this was no longer his area of ​​expertise.

Such matters should be left to the god of desire.

After all, the God of Desire's method is far simpler than his own; it is a method applicable to all living beings and does not require combat experience.

After all, desire is something that has always existed in the hearts of all living beings.

"So this is how you arouse my desire?"

Looking at the giant snake writhing in front of him, Du Yi could hardly bear to look at it.

"That's it?"

"Is this...not enough?"

Even the god of desire was stunned. It had accurately judged the giant snake, which was why it had transformed into the form of a mother snake to try and arouse the snake's desires.

But who could have imagined that the giant serpent's soul was as hard as a rock, and it didn't even have the slightest interest in it.

"Could it be that I'm thinking incorrectly?"

The god of desire continued his exploration.

Fortunately, the giant serpent made no attempt to conceal its thoughts; in fact, its intentions were practically written all over its face. Because of this, the God of Desire was almost immediately certain that the giant serpent had no interest in snakes, but rather in humanoid forms.

"So perverted?"

The God of Desire was somewhat confused, as this was completely inconsistent with the giant serpent's usual demeanor.

But now that we've sensed it, we'll change it.

In just a moment, a beautiful woman appeared before Du Yi.

Just looking at her charming and lovely appearance, anyone would find her pitiful and endearing.

However, Du Yi shook his head again. "That's it?"

"Isn't this okay?"

The god of desire began to feel confused, even though it was convinced that its judgment was correct.

But since the giant snake didn't react, it had no choice but to explore again, and fortunately, it soon discovered the reason once more.

The giant snake is not interested in snakes because it is interested in humanoid forms. As for why the giant snake is not interested in humans, it is mainly because snakes and humans are reproductively isolated.

"...?"

The god of desire only felt that there was something wrong with his soul. What kind of double-dealing thinking is this?

However, since he has sensed it, it is not a big deal. After all, he has traversed the starry sea for countless years and has seen many more bizarre things.

And so, a moment later, the god of desire changed form once again.

This time, it was certain that it had achieved perfection. Its upper body was that of a beautiful woman, while its lower body had a snake's tail. Whether viewed from a human perspective or from a snake's perspective, its beauty was undeniable.

This time, things should be fine, the god of desire thought.

"Whether you uphold your will or indulge your desires, it will elevate your soul."

The god of desire, with a snake's head and a human body, said this.

"The former means you are honing yourself, the latter means you are replenishing yourself, both..."

"No, wait a moment."

It was at this moment that Du Yi spoke up again.

"That's it?"

"...?"

The god of desire was stunned.

Isn't that enough?

"Can it be changed again?"

Du Yi's eyes were full of curiosity.

"I want to see that, you know, that, could you change it again, so the lower body is human and the upper body is a snake?"

"……what?"

The god of desire was completely bewildered.

Even after traversing the starry sea for countless years, it had rarely heard such an outrageous request, which refreshed its understanding of this snake—but then it transformed its form once again, becoming a snake-headed human.

The snake before them, however, made a new demand once again.

"Is it okay if the left half is a person and the right half is a snake?"

The god of desire was completely thrown into chaos; it had never heard of such a perverse idea.

It's less about cultivating the giant serpent's soul and more about cultivating its soul. At this moment, the God of Desire felt that his own soul was about to collapse.

Clearly, it couldn't bring any improvement.

"Then let me do it."

The two-headed eagle stepped forward.

"Let me say a few words..."

"Shut up."

Du Yi swung its tail and lashed out, then looked at the small hill to the side.

Do you have anything to say about this?

Du Yi looked at the last god of life.
