Later, this fear turned to reverence. Romantic stories were created revolving around the snake, which became the first male ancestor of the noble class: Long, long ago, the snake turned into a handsome young lad who chose a lovely bride. Their offspring were all nobles, while offspring of the common green snake were the common people.
後來由畏懼產生信仰，就產生了一種傳說：相傳百步蛇是貴族階級的始祖，某一時代，百步蛇變成美男子和族裡女子結婚，所生的子女就是後來的貴族階級，而平民則為青蛇的後裔。
