Once upon a time there was a greedy snake

“There is no need to go back. I am the incarnation of the God of Life. What I hear, the God of Life can also hear.”

David Day forced a fawning smile.

"Gods cannot die, so waiting to die might be a bit difficult... My lord also knows that there were some misunderstandings between the two sides before. Although it can be said that it was that tyrannical god who stirred things up, once a grudge is formed, it is a grudge. My lord is also willing to pay some necessary price for this reconciliation."

"...?"

Du Yi looked at David Day in surprise.

Not only are they seeking peace, but they're even offering to pay reparations?

They inexplicably showed up at our door, and then inexplicably demanded an apology and admission of wrongdoing. And judging by their demeanor, it wasn't just empty talk; they were actually going to offer real compensation to secure peace...

Has this god of life gone mad?

"What are you, or that so-called God of Life, thinking?"

Du Yi, who was completely baffled, finally asked the question.

"Are you treating war like a game?"

"It is because our lord did not treat war as a game that he chose to negotiate peace."

David Day shook his head in response to Du Yi's question.

"If my lord is to fight this battle to the bitter end just for a moment's pleasure, then he is treating war like a game... After all, this battle is meaningless and will only benefit those evil people hiding behind the scenes."

At this point, David Day bluntly revealed everything the mysterious god intended to do, including the seduction of these local natives and all the arrangements made to conquer the planet.

This made Du Yi frown, because in his understanding, the god of wisdom was not like this.

After all, not long ago, the god of wisdom had given him a way to become stronger.

If the god of wisdom wanted to harm him and these local natives, why would he go to such lengths to teach them how to become stronger?

"That's normal. If the God of Mysteries' schemes were so easy to see through, he wouldn't be the God of Mysteries."

David Day continued.

"This was also expected by my lord, but my lord hopes to find an opportunity for cooperation. With comparison, the evil of that mysterious god can be seen."

"But you're here for us too."

Du Yi narrowed his eyes.

Why should I believe you?

“That’s right, the God of Life also wants to dominate this planet, but the God of Life will not hide anything. He will prove with his actions that following him is the right choice for you.”

David Day bowed to the stars in the sky, a gesture of respect to the god of life.

Du Yi also roughly understood what was going on.

In the mouth of this so-called God of Life, the God of Wisdom is a hypocrite. Therefore, compared to the hypocrite, the God of Life, who is truly evil, seems more open and honest—whether it's fighting or negotiating, at least it's all done openly, rather than doing anything behind the scenes.

However, Du Yi still did not intend to believe in this so-called God of Life, or rather, he did not actually believe in the God of Wisdom either.

He had heard some of Tatunbhut’s remarks, and he was also familiar with the metaphor of viewing the starry sea as a jungle—based on Du Yi’s own experience in nature, in a world where the strong prey on the weak, the only thing one can trust is one’s own strength.

Therefore, he will not refuse any way to replenish his strength at the moment.

What can you offer?

Du Yi decided to first see what price this God of Life would offer.

David Day, after a moment, also gave the answer from the God of Life.

"Although the Seed of Creation is relatively dangerous to this planet itself, now that it has fallen into your hands, you can use it as a means to counter the Mysterious God."

"The bastion of new life that crashed onto this planet, though shattered, still has usable parts, and you can have them all."

"Besides that, if you need it, you can also become the chosen one of the God of Life... It seems that this option is not quite right. So, what do you need?"

Saying such things is like asking for the moon and then haggling over the price. However, Du Yi wasn't greedy; he simply said he wanted the technology to travel to the stars.

But David Day shook his head.

"It's not that we won't give it to you, it's that even if we did, it would be very difficult for you to do it. If that's your request, the God of Life can only tailor a solution for you. As for whether it can be achieved, the God of Life cannot guarantee it."

"Having a solution is enough."

Du Yi wasn't greedy; having something was better than having nothing.

Of course, there was an additional agreement in the peace talks: that David Day's men would be allowed to do business in Tatunbto. According to David Day, the caravans did not need any preferential terms, as long as they were not robbed.

Du Yi stated that all the goods transported need to be inspected, at least to ensure that there are no dangerous or prohibited items inside.

This wasn't an unreasonable request, and David Day readily agreed.

The entire peace talks were a pleasant affair for both the host and guests, especially David Day – although on the surface, the God of Life seemed to have suffered a great loss in these talks, even to the point of losing face.

But in reality, what we should really worry about is not the god of life.

"How are you all feeling? How are you feeling?!"

The thought of Casaloron and the Shadow of the Demon made David Day want to burst out laughing.

Chapter 283 The Ancient Serpent is Getting Stronger

There are no eternal friends in the vast sea of ​​stars, and naturally, there are no eternal enemies either.

This planet has now become a battlefield for four gods. The God of Life is clearly aware of this. There is also the God of Mystery, who has been cultivating his power for a long time; the God of Tyranny, who possesses formidable strength; and the God of Desire, whose methods are not obvious but who can clearly understand the needs of the local natives...

Compared to these three parties, the God of Life himself knew in his heart that he had little chance of winning.

Indeed, he might be able to release more seeds of creation and forcibly transform the planet into what he wanted. But if he did that, the other three gods wouldn't just sit by and watch—he would definitely face joint suppression from the other three gods, and it might even accelerate their process of reaping all the spoils.

so……

"Since you won't let me have an easy time, none of you will have an easy time either!"

With this in mind, the God of Life chose to support new allies.

That is, that ancient snake.

Although the ancient serpent's strength is so limited that it can't even leave a planet, it is far from being qualified to sit at the table and eat, but its influence over these local natives is enough to annoy the other three gods. Of course, most importantly, the original four-way war has turned into a five-way melee.

In the midst of a five-way battle, the opportunities to fish in troubled waters are much greater.

Just like it is now.

After all the medicinal herbs passed quarantine, David Day's caravan successfully entered Tatunbto and even rented a plot of land next to the priesthood in the heart of the city to open a pharmacy. Perhaps in the eyes of the local natives, it was just that the medicinal herbs were cheaper on ordinary days, but in the eyes of those who were interested, this was clearly a deeper cooperation and interaction between the god of life and the local natives.

After learning this, Phantom and Casaloron reunited.

"Things are starting to get complicated."

Casaloron's face was quite gloomy; he never expected things to turn out this way.

Before Casaloron, the Phantom, now a cat, was somewhat bewildered. After all, it had been summoned because David Day and Casaloron wanted to reclaim some Seed of Creation and do something to these local natives—but now, David Day, who had the deepest grudge against these natives, was the first to choose to defect.

The love for cats will eventually be replaced by other animals, and the pursuit of technology will disappear after the spaceship is completed, but the demand for medicine... is endless.

After all, everyone gets headaches and fevers, and even if you're not sick, you can take some health supplements to improve your health.

This means that David Dayzen has accomplished what they originally wanted to do, and now anyone who dares to disrupt this pharmaceutical supply chain will become an irreconcilable enemy of these local natives.

In a sense, the God of Life's move has yielded even greater results than the God of Mystery, who had been cultivating his abilities for a long time.

This is the real way to reap the rewards.

"We have to think of a way, we have to think of a way..."

Casaloron and the Shadow of the Demon were indeed as disgusting as if they had eaten shit.

Originally, all they needed to do was offer some superficial assistance and wait to reap the rewards, just like the mysterious god had always done, giving some insignificant knowledge and then reaping everything on this planet—but now, with David Day's disruptive behavior, they have to consider some more profound approaches.

"First, we need to kick David Day out."

This was a shared thought between Casaloron and the Shadow of the Phantom; they were even certain that the mysterious god lurking in the shadows shared the same idea.

The saying goes, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." Since you've taken all the credit for everyone else, don't blame everyone for trying to get rid of you.

Now, perhaps due to inspiration from Casaloron and the Shadow of Enchantment, or perhaps with the secret help of the mysterious god, they have actually come up with a solution.

That is, to become one of us.

"Yes! Let's do it!"

Following that fleeting flash of inspiration, Casaloron and Phantom began their operation.

So, just three to five days later, strange rumors began to circulate in Tatunbhu, pointing directly at the newly opened pharmacy and even at the god of life itself.

"Some people have had problems after taking these medicines! These are all alien medicines, brought here by aliens to harm you!"

Dangerous rumors spread rapidly and soon became common knowledge.

However, David Day didn't take it too seriously.

Yes, so what if it's alien medicine? The locals are still consuming it, and the sales channels haven't been cut off. The various herbs produced by the Fungal Creep Travelers are still in high demand, so there's nothing to worry about.

Moreover, for these natives, extraterrestrial life represents advancement and progress, and being able to consume extraterrestrial medicine is an honor for them.

"I'm from this planet, after all. How could I not know what these natives are thinking?"

Faced with this attack, which no one knew which god had launched, David Day scoffed.

However, attacks of this magnitude were of no use to him. You must know that he now not only had the God of Life on his back, but after the cooperation was established, the ancient serpent that was originally entrenched here had also become one of his supporters.

Although this backer usually doesn't offer him any real help, having a local tyrant backing him up means he's absolutely fearless.

"I should have made peace sooner."

Feeling that everything was progressing smoothly, David Day breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that he's relaxed, he naturally has time to think about other things. Although this planet has become unrecognizable to David Day, it is still his home planet, his hometown.

Now that I'm back, I naturally want to reminisce about the past, feel the changes of the times, and reflect on my experiences over the years.

Just as David Day was preparing to take advantage of this rare free time to relax,

But then he suddenly heard news that he never expected.

"What? You're saying Casaloran joined Tatunbto?"

When David Day heard the news from his men, his head was buzzing.

He could understand cooperation, since everyone did it, but to join directly... He remembered that Casaloran and the ancient serpent were enemies, how could he just join directly?

"Quick! Tell me everything you know!"

As David Day listened to the caravan's entourage recount their story, he gradually learned about what had happened in the distance.

Chapter 284 The First Extraterrestrial Covenant

Ten days ago, Tatunbto, the priesthood.

When the second-generation carpenter fairy Beske handed over the requests made by the chosen champions, the four priests were also dizzy—if the chosen champions had asked for food or building materials, it would have been understandable, after all, aliens also need to make a living.

But now, the chosen champions are asking to join Tatunbhuto.

It wasn't even a matter of living in the city. The chosen champions knew that because of the previous conflict, they had incurred public wrath—so from the beginning they said they wouldn't have any demands to live in Tatunbhu.

All they wanted was an identity, the identity of a local.

"What good does this do them?"

The four priests were completely baffled. After all, it was just an identity, and this identity couldn't bring them anything. They couldn't eat or drink anything. To put it bluntly, it wasn't a big deal. Taton Buto didn't have to pay anything; the serpent god could handle it with just a word.

However, the chosen champions took this matter unexpectedly seriously. Their leader, Casaloron, even invited people from Tatunbto to come and discuss it in detail.

Since the two sides had previously collaborated on technical matters through the carpenter sage Beske, the four priests were not worried that this was a dangerous trap. After all, given the serpent god's enormous size, all of this could be said to be happening right under the serpent god's nose.

So after a brief discussion, the four priests ultimately decided to send Sarthek, who was most like a warrior, to the camp of the chosen champions, carrying the divinely bestowed greatsword.

This time, however, the scene that Satek saw was completely different from that of Beske. There was no bloodstains and skulls in the camp as Beske had described, nor any sense of death. Judging from the style of the tents, they were even bought from Tatunbto.

"This……"

Sensing the atmosphere of this camp, which was almost identical to that of Tatunbto, Sataik became increasingly confused.

"What on earth is this for?"

"It's because everyone thinks Tatunbhuto is very good."
