Once upon a time there was a greedy snake

At that moment, the tall Casaloran walked up to Sarthek's side.

"Although from the perspective of the stars, this place may indeed be considered barbaric, we can also feel the courage and passion in your hearts... Speaking of which, I used to be from this planet, so it's like I've returned home."

The generous praise from the outset naturally won Sataik's favor, especially after the tall legion commander began to claim he was a local, which made Sataik feel even closer to him and more curious.

However, Satek at least didn't forget his mission; he remembered why he was there.

Why did you join Tatunbto?

Satek thought for a moment, then asked the question formally.

"After all, with your skills, you can go anywhere, right?"

"People can go anywhere, but a good place to go isn't so easy to find."

At this point, Casaloran sighed and then looked towards the great city in the distance.

"But it's different here. Courage and passion are what's truly scarce. With such willpower, it's only a matter of time before this place prospers... So in this development process, we are also willing to contribute our share, so that we can have our own home."

Casalon paused at this point.

"Furthermore, from a personal perspective, I also come from this planet. This is my home planet, my hometown... Right now, my home planet needs development, so how can I not do something about it?"

"No matter how good the outside world is, it's never as good as home."

……

Having said all that, Sataik had no reason to refuse, since Kasalon's words were indeed reasonable and convincing. If there was any problem, it was whether the Serpent God was willing to agree, since if the Serpent God had any objections to these people, then they really wouldn't be able to enter.

However, the snake god wouldn't have any objections to such a trivial matter.

"They specifically asked me to discuss something, and even interfered with my workout, and it turned out to be just something so trivial?"

Sataik remembered that when he consulted the Snake God, the voice that descended from the sky said these words.

Such an answer means there are no objections, and thus the final hurdle is overcome.

But before that, there's one last thing to do.

"Sign it."

As he said this, Satek took out a roll of parchment.

That was something that everyone in Tatunbuto City had signed, and it could even be said that everyone in the entire Serpent God Empire had signed.

As the serpent god's subjects, they made a pact with him in this way, promising to contribute to his plan for flight, and in return, he would ensure their resurrection from the dead.

"To become a Tatunbtu citizen, this is a necessary agreement."

Satek added a sentence.

Yes, this is how the four priests counter these chosen champions. Although they still don't understand what these aliens want to do, as long as they sign this contract and their souls can enter the underworld controlled by the serpent god, then no matter how big the matter is, it will still be under their control.

Of course, whether aliens' souls will enter the underworld after they die is still a question. But if these aliens choose not to sign because they are worried about this, then it means that these aliens are very problematic.

However, contrary to Satek's expectations, even though he had clearly stated that once the contract was signed, the soul would enter the Serpent God's underworld after death, Kasalon still chose to sign without hesitation.

The other chosen champions did the same; they all signed their names decisively, and their expressions showed a sense of relief.

"They seem to genuinely believe that joining Tatunbto is a good thing?"

Although Sartec still didn't understand what excited these alien warriors, now that the agreement was signed, these alien warriors were all on his side.

"Alright! Now we're all locals."

After seeing Sathek off, Casaloron shook the signed copy of the contract in his hand and grinned maliciously.

Yes, now that we have these copies of the contract as proof of identity, all the chosen champions are locals.

So, who are the aliens right now?

"The aliens are so evil!"

As the Phantom continues to transform, she manipulates rumors throughout the city.

David Day's once-unshakeable herbal medicine business was suddenly hit hard.

Chapter 285, you can sign it.

For the people of Tatunbto, those things from the stars have always been synonymous with mystery and advancement.

The technology of the Star Sea is advanced, the visitors from the Star Sea are powerful, and even the medicinal materials from the Star Sea are much stronger than the local medicinal materials—especially the last one, which has recently been verified by people. Those alien medicinal materials from the Star Sea are indeed stronger than the local medicinal materials.

In short, everything in the Star Sea is good, while everything they originally had was bad.

In a way, this can actually be considered a good thing. After all, recognizing the gap provides the motivation to catch up. As long as we keep learning those advanced technologies and keep striving to catch up with those powerful figures, one day they too will become advanced and strong.

However, advantages are often accompanied by disadvantages.

Because the technology of the Star Sea is too advanced, people inevitably feel backward when learning it. Because the visitors from the Star Sea are too powerful, people inevitably feel inferior when they think about it. As for the medicinal materials from the Star Sea, they are indeed effective, but whenever they use them, people can't help but sigh that they can never make such things themselves.

Therefore, during this period, a strange trend of thought was brewing in the city of Tatunbto.

They are neither the surrender faction that thought everything was hopeless and even wanted the Serpent God to bow down to the Star Sea Gods, nor are they the progressive faction that is now studying Star Sea technology and believes that everything in Star Sea should be fully accepted—they don't even know what faction they should belong to, and it's not that they don't want to be advanced.

But while being advanced, shouldn't we at least have something of our own?

One must have some skills of one's own, rather than relying solely on the gifts of the stars; one must have some self-confidence, so that one can stand tall when facing those extraterrestrial visitors.

Even these alien medicines are effective, and people are gradually starting to stop using local medicines. But what if, what if, what if one day the God of Life suddenly says that the medicines will no longer be supplied and that if you want the life-saving medicine, you have to give your life?

It should be noted that the great plague that struck Tatunbhu was the work of this so-called God of Life. This so-called God of Life was previously their enemy, so it's not impossible for the God of Life to do something like harming the people of Tatunbhu.

The same applies to the other gods.

“Tatumbto is a Tatumbto person.”

At some point, this slogan quietly began to circulate.

At first, it was just a slogan circulating, but soon the medicine of the god of life was gradually resisted. In the eyes of the people, this behavior was a way to gradually control Tatunbto through the supply of medicine.

"How did they know?"

This was David Day's first reaction upon hearing about it. He never expected that these natives would actually realize what was going on—even he himself hadn't thought of it when he was doing it, and it was only in the last two days that he suddenly realized that this idea, which was originally just meant to stir up trouble, could actually achieve the purpose of the God of Life.

However, before he could even make any moves, his original plan fell apart. Not only the plan itself failed, but also everything the gods wanted to do. The gods did want to take over these natives, but only if they could get these natives to willingly serve them, unleash their potential, and contribute their strength.

Instead of knowing everything directly, as we do now.

"Kasalorn..."

David Day clenched his fists, recalling the news that Casaloran had joined the natives.

The medicines of the God of Life have been resisted, and even the knowledge given by the God of Mystery has begun to be questioned. At present, the only beneficiaries are Casaloron and the God of Courage behind him.

Before these local natives began to resist the Starsea, Casaloron and the warriors had already joined the natives. Now they were the only ones who had not been affected, and they were even resisting the things from the Starsea along with the natives.

Just like it is now.

"I have been in the Star Sea for a long time, so I know better how evil those gods in the Star Sea are."

Facing the crowds who had come to watch the spectacle, the tall Casaloran ate local specialty roasted lamb while shouting at them.

"Our home planet is still the best. Even this barbecue tastes like home... I love Tatunbhuto! I've wanted to be a Tatunbhutian for so long!"

This is the scene that David Day experienced when he released his consciousness.

Casalon, surrounded by the crowd, seemed to sense David Day's perception and even smiled.

This made David Day even angrier.

"How could this be! How dare this beast!"

David Day roared.

"How dare you disgust me! Where did you get the nerve!"

David Day had never been so angry. He had been the incarnation of the God of Destruction for quite some time now, and he had always been the one causing trouble and disgusting others. This was the first time he had ever been disgusted by someone, and the one who disgusted him was none other than Casalon, with whom he already had a grudge.

This has created a serious grudge.

At that moment, David Day even considered guiding the God of Mystery, since both the God of Life and the God of Mystery had been severely impacted by the current turmoil—but being impacted did not mean they were powerless. If they were willing to unite, they could practically rule over half of the planet.

But at that moment, David Day suddenly became alert.

"Could the thoughts that are arising in my mind right now be the result of being guided by that mysterious god?"

Yes, that seems to be true. After all, Casaloron's current actions, which can be described as scheming and intrigue, are completely unlike the style of the God of Courage. He attacked and neutralized the enemy's attacks without leaving a trace of blood. It seems like something that only the God of Mystery could do.

"Perhaps this is the true purpose of the God of Mysteries... Does he want to use the power of the God of Life?"

David Day felt he had guessed the right answer.

After communicating with the god of life, the deity he worshipped confirmed his guess and gave him important instructions.

"Don't seek help from the god of mystery; go find the giant serpent."

As he pondered the oracle of the god of life, David Day revealed a sinister smile.

"What you can do, I can do too."

"After all, this planet is also my home planet."

Chapter 286 Who is a Friend, Who is an Enemy

Outside Tatunbto, Du Yi was still training.

Although the battle that was originally expected seemed to have ended before it even began, and the God of Life, with whom he had a grudge, expressed his desire for peace through David Day, Du Yi did not stop training.

Whether or not he fights seems to be unimportant now. Du Yi has come to like this feeling of self-discipline. Compared to his previous idleness, he now lives a fulfilling life every day and can feel his own progress. This feeling is addictive to him.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon... As long as I keep getting stronger every day, one day I'll be able to get those mammoths back!"

As Du Yi ate his meat heartily, he pondered these thoughts.

But at that very moment, something disgusting appeared in his sight.

The sight of that rotting little giant completely killed Du Yi's appetite.

"What are you doing here again?"

Du Yi's face darkened as his meal was interrupted.

"Haven't peace talks already taken place?"

"This is a new request."

David Day looked very serious.

"After all, I am also from this planet. Although I have indeed become the incarnation of the God of Life, I also want to contribute to the development of my hometown."

Simply put, David Day also wants to become a citizen of Tatunbto and become a Tatunbto citizen.

Du Yi didn't care about such a trivial matter at all; there was no need for such a thing to be brought up with him.

"Go ask in the city yourself. I don't care if they're willing."

The main issue is that this matter really has little to do with Du Yi. He's not a Tatunbutu person, so why ask him about this?

So David Day sent someone to find the four priests. Of course, he knew that his dignified appearance was not suitable for him to appear in the city, so he communicated with them directly by letter.

This left the four priests even more confused.

"We...didn't do anything, right?"

The four priests looked at each other, all somewhat bewildered.

Kasalon, who worshipped the god of courage, had at least a reason for surrendering, given his origins there. But now, this incarnation of the god of life also wants to surrender, even claiming to be one of their own…

Tatunbto, when did it become such a wonderful place?

"Besides... this God of Life, doesn't he have a grudge against us?"

Yes, although the two sides did indeed reach a peace agreement, the compensation offered by the God of Life was done in secret. The bulk of the money, such as the Seed of Creation and the wreckage of the warship, went directly to Du Yi. As for the four priests, all they knew was the peace talks themselves and the fact that the God of Life's medicinal herbs had begun to flow into their possession.

In short, the God of Life once harmed the people of Tatunbhu, but the war reparations did not fall on their shoulders. Although the cheap medicines did make many people start to speak well of the God of Life, this debt has not yet been truly settled.

"It's not impossible to become a citizen at this time."

Ultimately, it was Ansag, one of the four priests, who made the final decision.

"Then let him show his sincerity. We want the technology to cultivate medicinal herbs. Among the ideas that are popular in the city recently, at least one is correct: we should keep medicinal herbs in our own hands."

This is the trade-off: it's not impossible to become a citizen, but you have to exchange it for skills.
