Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 446 War Never Ceases
Whether they were half-dwarves or Ignivas, their purpose in descending was to seek war.

Normally, they would target what they perceive as evil, kill what they see as their enemy, accomplish what they want to achieve, and then go about their own business.

But what if they can't find the enemy?

Evil seemed to have disappeared, and the enemy was nowhere to be seen. Their desire for war had nowhere to go, so they could only turn their attention to their so-called allies.

After all, in the absence of external battles, these so-called allies are the ones who will divide up your resources.

Just like now, when the Ignivas discovered that many half-humans were also emitting a flame-like aura.

They immediately realized that their belongings had been stolen.

"Only killing is possible."

The Ignivas could only come up with this one solution to the despicable acts of these half-dwarves.

But for these half-dwarves, it was a different story. They had been preparing for war all along, and the Ignivas's initiative had given them a perfect excuse to start a war.

"This is a counterattack!"

Under this banner, the half-dwarves also gathered their forces and even further spread that fire of hatred.

However, this half-baked arrogance could not compare to the original spiritual flame of the Ignivas, but the half-dwarves had the advantage of large numbers. Compared to the Ignivas, who only had two teams, the half-dwarves could at least be considered a group.

Furthermore, precisely because they are a race, the half-dwarves have other methods.

For example, having more children.

Yes, the half-dwarves never intended to settle the matter in one battle, but rather to fight this war as a protracted war—they might not be able to wipe out the Ignivas in a short time, but time was on their side.

For every Ignivas who dies, there may be a thousand, or even ten thousand more Half-Dwarves. They will occupy this vast land and bring civilization to this planet.

The Ignivas brought only disaster and desolation; since they could not bring new life, all that awaited them was utter defeat.

"So even if you fail temporarily, it doesn't matter."

"As long as we persevere, victory will surely be ours in a few decades or even a few centuries!"

The half-dwarfs held this firm belief.

Thus, a fierce battle broke out on the ground. One side had a quality advantage, while the other had a quantity advantage. In addition, the half-dwarves were very good at digging tunnels and could hide well. For a time, the two sides fought fiercely.

This made the Seed of Creation and Du Yi, who were underground, feel even warmer.

After all, the heat emitted from the ground is absorbed by the roots, becoming their source of heating.

"But judging by the time, it should be soon, right?"

Du Yi and the Seed of Creation were making plans.

That's certainly fast.

Just a few days into the battle between the half-dwarfs and the Ignivas, Upo Salas, who had sent them there, had already sensed something was wrong.

"How did they start fighting?" This was not the outcome Upo Salas wanted. He originally wanted the two races to cooperate and bring out the snakes and the Seed of Creation that were lurking underground.

But who would have thought that the two races would start fighting each other without even seeing the snake's face?

"Can't you just do your job properly?"

Upo Salas attempted to re-brainwash the two races, resetting their states, but the effect was subtly lacking.

The souls of the Ignivas are inherently difficult to influence; their cultivation system doesn't even have the concept of a soul. The souls of those who are half-humans, who should be easy to influence, become as hard and foul as stone after practicing some of the Ignivas' techniques.

So after several attempts, Upo Salas could only deploy some new races.

This time, it simply didn't release any flesh-and-blood life forms, but instead released two relatively simple elemental life forms.

The fire element, composed entirely of pure flames, finds its sole pleasure in burning.

Earth elements, whose entire bodies are made of rock, are adept at digging and carrying.

To put it simply, they are a replica of the Ignivas and the half-dwarves, one responsible for exploring downwards and the other for fighting.

However, compared to the Ignivas and the half-dwarves, these two types of elemental beings obviously do not have any internal strife.

And this was proven by the fact that the elemental creatures were far more efficient than flesh-and-blood creatures. With their tireless work, a portion of the roots belonging to the Seed of Creation were soon dug out.

The roots were burned by the fire element, and although the burning was slower than that of the Ignivas, it was at least effective.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction, at least for now.

But it was precisely at this moment, when everything was about to get better, that things began to improve.

The Ignivas, who were originally engaged in battle, and the half-dwarfs attacked these elemental beings separately.

"This is our land! And who are you?!"

Although the two sides did not launch a joint attack, the slogans they shouted were almost identical.

Elemental beings who only know how to work, while not to the point of being incapable of fighting, are far inferior in combat power to the Ignivas who have just come down from the battlefield and the half-dwarf.

The fresh combat experience brought from the war left these simple elemental beings completely bewildered. Moreover, their opponents possessed more than just rich combat experience; whether it was the Ignivas or the half-dwarves, their combat strength was no less than that of these elemental beings.

This directly led to the fact that, within just a few days of the battle, these elemental beings were forced into a series of defeats, and many of them were even taken prisoner and enslaved.

The Ignivas and the half-dwarfs were very satisfied with these elemental lifeforms that could work tirelessly and without rest. They even transformed these elemental lifeforms into weapons of war and further deployed them in the battle between the two sides.

The heat generated by both sides was absorbed by those tiny roots and entirely transferred into the ground.

As for Upo Salas, who had done all this, after much deliberation, he had no choice but to introduce a new race to try to completely suppress both sides, or even all three.

Yes, all three parties.

After experiencing the humiliation of being enslaved, the fire and earth elementals, having learned their lesson, established their own kingdom.
