Chapter 57: Usurping God?

  "Does the giant snake want to attack our village?" Wu Rui was taken aback by the words, knowing that he was a god and still dared to offend him. Was the giant snake's guts made of clay? Or did it want to slaughter gods to show off its power?

  "Judging from the current situation, it is!" Ah Niu's face looked terrible.

  "Let someone be on guard and inform me of any movement at any time!" Wu Rui waved his hand and dismissed the tense Ah Niu.

  Wu Rui's guess was correct, the giant snake wanted to slaughter the gods and show off its power!

  He was born to be a king, with an ambition as vast as the universe. He refused to submit, not even to gods. Since the gods wouldn't help him, he would overthrow them! He didn't believe that gods were invincible!

  "Your Majesty, you...you want to slay a god?" Water Fish was the giant snake's trusted aide, but at this moment, upon hearing that the king wanted to send more troops to kill a god, his voice became stuttering, and his heart almost jumped out. Wasn't this joke a bit too big? What were gods? Omnipotent, boundless magical powers - the embodiment of all these, and now the king actually said he wanted to slay a god, wasn't this just a joke?

  "What about God? As long as you have the guts! I will kill him!" The giant snake's words were filled with an overbearing aura.

  "Great King, the gods are invincible. If we offend them like this, won't it bring a curse upon our tribe?" It wasn't just Water Fish who was afraid, another burly man with his upper body exposed stepped forward from below.

  "Right, Your Majesty, think thrice!" An old man with animal hide also spoke out to dissuade!

  "I have made up my mind to kill the God, whoever tries to stop me will be killed without pardon!" The giant snake was annoyed by the noise from below and left after saying this, but his fierce tone shocked everyone into silence.

  "... Several generals looked at each other in dismay, and finally Shuǐ Yú stood up to mediate: "Killing God, isn't it exciting? Since the Great King has made a decision, we sons of the Wetland Plains naturally have no fear, right?"

  ...No one answered him.

  "Haha……" The water fish smiled wryly, but his small heart was actually trembling with fear. He had no choice, he didn't know what the consequences of killing a god would be, but if he chose to go against the great king, he would definitely die, so he could only steel himself and choose this path of killing a god, but his heart couldn't help but feel anxious.

  The other generals also knew this and turned pale one by one, but they did not dare to disobey the king's order.

  "How can a giant snake have true energy? Is it cultivated by itself? Or did it get some kind of heavenly treasure?" That night, Wu Rui didn't enter the Rhinoceros Forest to search for treasure, but instead sat quietly by the small stream in the village.

  He was worried that the giant snake would be unfavorable to the village, and most of the treasures in the rhino forest had entered his five or six storage rings. At the same time, after several days of continuous hard work, Wu Rui couldn't help but feel tired, and it's better to rest for a while tonight. However, thinking of the giant snake he saw today, Wu Rui was unable to calm down for a while.

  Not bad, the giant snake has a strong aura, I don't know if it's due to eating some spiritual fruit or cultivating it, and Wu Rui can also see that the giant snake won't be able to control this energy, having divine power but not being able to exert it, otherwise he wouldn't have been so flustered when he saw his wooden spear chopped off today.

  "Before leaving, this person must be eliminated, otherwise the Rhinoceros Forest will be destroyed and the knowledge I have passed down will be cut off." Wu Rui secretly decided, then closed his eyes and started operating the Shennong Scripture cultivation method. The dense wood spiritual energy of the Rhinoceros Forest suddenly surged towards Wu Rui, making him feel comfortable, his eyebrows relaxed, and all the pores on his body opened up, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  A few days later, Wu Rui continued to diligently teach the villagers the art of medicine and agriculture, gathering them around him to impart his knowledge. He also created some practical farming tools for them, using only wood as there was no steel available in this primitive era, much like how Earth had been in its early days.

  Outside the village, there were enemies with ill intentions. Originally, everyone still had uneasy emotions, but seeing Wu Daifu's calmness, they also became infected and focused on learning the skills personally taught by the immortal. Only Ah Niu was restless all day, using his divine knife to make a batch of sharp wooden thorns for the villagers, preparing for battle.

  Outside the village, the thousand-strong army of the giant snake tribe did not make any moves because their reinforcements had not yet arrived and were in a state of waiting. The leader of the giant snake tribe was indeed capable, at first his tribesmen heard that they were going to kill the god and were all almost frightened out of their wits, but after being encouraged by the giant snake and being deceived for a while, they quickly regained their morale, each one seeming as if they had been injected with chicken blood, eager to go into battle and slay the god.

  From Wu Rui's perspective, the giant snake's actions are undoubtedly arrogant and overbearing, making it a villain. However, from the giant snake's point of view, its actions are actually justified. If Wu Rui is truly a god, then his methods are unfair. As a generation of heroes, why should the giant snake compromise? To reclaim its original dominance, the giant snake can only fight! It must overthrow the gods!

  The giant snake does not believe that God is invincible, he himself is the true god of war!

  Today is the tenth day Wu Rui has been on Osen planet, tomorrow morning will be the time when the ten-day mission is completed, but the reinforcements of the giant snake have not arrived yet. Not only is the giant snake anxious, Wu Rui is also anxious.

  It's not impossible to launch a preemptive attack now, but it's not the best timing. Even if I were to kill the giant snake and defeat its 1,000 soldiers, the Wetland Plains tribe would still be unscathed. What if after I leave, their reinforcements come to avenge their loss and slaughter the Rhinoceros tribe? Ah Niu and several thousand others won't be able to withstand it, and even if they could, there will be severe casualties. This is not what Wu Rui wants to see.

  "I hope it's still in time!" Wu Rui muttered to himself.

  But until the tenth day evening, when the sun was about to set, Ah Niu, who was guarding outside the village, still had not sent any news. If the giant snake's reinforcements hadn't arrived by tomorrow morning, Wu Rui could only take action.

  "Teacher, are you leaving tomorrow morning?" The grass boy next to him couldn't help but ask with a sad tone. Ten days of being together had already made the grass boy deeply dependent on Wu Rui, just like his own family members. Now that they were suddenly going to be separated, the grass boy was very reluctant to part ways.

  "Hehe, the teacher doesn't want to leave in such a hurry either, but this time I only have ten days to complete my task. When the time is up, I must return." Wu Rui also felt a little sentimental, although Cao Tong was not his disciple, he could be considered half a student. This kid was very clever and had good qualifications. Several times, Wu Rui couldn't help but teach him the basic heart method of Shen Nong Jing.

  But Shen Nong Valley has rules, Wu Rui currently does not have the right to leak out the Shen Nong Scripture, and there is no other method in his hands, so he can only give a pill of Zhu Ji Dan to Cao Tong to build his foundation. Although he cannot use any spells, his strength will increase significantly, and if he keeps a low profile, self-protection should not be a problem.

  "Teacher, after you return to the immortal realm, can you still descend to the mortal world to visit us?" Cao Tong asked expectantly.

  "Wu Rui was unable to answer this question for a moment, because he himself was also unclear at the time, and could only vaguely reply: 'Let's meet again if fate permits!'"

  Before the grass boy could ask anything, Ah Niu rushed over with a flustered expression and shouted to Wu Rui from afar: "It's not good, Doctor Wu! The giant snake's reinforcements have arrived, a vast black mass, estimated to be five or six thousand men!"
