Forty sunrises and sunsets might not mean much to Kangqiao now.
But in just those forty days, the dinosaur people had undergone earth-shattering changes.
At this moment, in the direction Kangqiao was gazing, most of the tribe's dinosaur people and their blood kin were gathered on the plain.
Leading them was none other than the Dinosaur Elder.
But now, this once-aged dinosaur man had bloomed into a second spring.
His entire stature stood nearly ten meters tall, like a three-story building.
At the same time, his body was covered in thicker, grayer stone armor.
If before the dinosaur people had still been quite humanoid in build, now their skin had become utterly inhuman.
Their whole bodies were like hard rock; with the slightest exertion, muscles bulged, making them look like stone monsters.
Not to mention the fiery red patterns that spread across their bodies when they exerted force.
They looked like giant humanoid monsters emerging from molten lava.
Now, there were many others like the Dinosaur Elder, nearly ten meters tall.
In just forty short days, the dinosaur people's size and height had more than doubled, leaving Kangqiao wide-eyed.
Besides the changes in the dinosaur people, their blood kin—the primal dinosaurs that Kangqiao had once thought were only hamster-sized—now looked more like Little Godzilla.
Though still not matching Kangqiao, their size in his eyes was now comparable to cats.
These individual primal dinosaurs were likely close to fifty meters long.
Every move they made truly qualified them as giant beasts.
Such primal dinosaurs, in the past, might have been considered gods of some small races—the so-called Pseudo-Gods the dinosaur people had slain.
Such drastic changes not only surprised Kangqiao but even startled the dinosaur people themselves.
"Great Father God! Merciful Father God! Your favor toward us is as deep as the ocean, as vast as the sky! How can we ever repay such grace?"
"Perhaps only by offering the entire land to Father God, spreading the glory of Lava and Earth to every corner of the world, can we be worthy of such deep love!"
The Dinosaur Elder stood on the plain, clenching his powerful fists, his whole body brimming with high fighting spirit!
Ever since discovering that his people, blessed by their god, could grow stronger through training, under the Dinosaur Elder's direction, the plains saw dinosaur people sweating daily, endlessly honing their abilities and combat skills.
Only by exhausting themselves completely and then recovering in the lava could they maximize their physical growth.
And it was through this tireless training that, in such a short time, the entire dinosaur tribe had undergone such earth-shattering changes.
Now, whenever the Dinosaur Elder saw his Father God, he was overcome with excitement, willing to give his life, to tear out his own heart to show his devotion!
After all, the Dinosaur Elder had been nearing the end of his lifespan, but now?
He had become young again, stronger too, and he felt he could live another five hundred years!
The immense power within him, the vitality his aged body had long lacked—all of this was a gift from Father God!
Father God's divine power was so mighty, so vast, that even a slight extra favor to His followers was enough to bless them endlessly!
"Ah! Great and merciful Father God! Your majesty is truly like a shining star in the sky!!!"
On the plain, after finishing the day's training, the Dinosaur Elder knelt on one knee, panting, gazing at the towering figure on the horizon, his eyes blazing with fanatical light.
If before the Dinosaur Elder had seemed like a wise man, a frail-looking priest, now he was completely different.
He had become a warrior again, and his appearance was entirely that of a berserker-like Combat Priest!
Even just swinging his fist during training produced sonic booms.
Compared to before, the dinosaur people were entirely different; they no longer had to be cautious in their fight against the Poison Fog Tribe.
That was why he had delayed the original schedule to attack the Poison Fog Tribe.
In the last few days, his people's growth and enhancement had slowed to a minimum, telling him that this wave of Father God's favor had reached its limit.
So, two days from now, the Dinosaur Elder decided to lead the tribe's warriors to completely annihilate the Poison Fog Tribe!
And not just the Poison Fog Tribe—in the Dinosaur Elder's plans, if this battle went smoothly, after some time to recover and let their numbers rebound, they might even attack the deep-sea domain!
Only this could repay Father God's deep love and favor!
To expand the domain of the God of Lava and Earth across the entire world—that was the ambition now born in the Dinosaur Elder's heart!
Because he was young again, because he was strong again, because Father God was by his side, the Dinosaur Elder's mindset was no longer conservative, but filled with boundless fighting spirit.
He would dedicate everything to his god, fighting for Him all his life!
Even after death, he hoped to enter Father God's divine kingdom and serve Him for eternity.
That was the meaning of his existence.
The blindness of primitive worship had completely clouded the Dinosaur Elder's eyes!
But who could say whether this was good or bad?
And it wasn't just the Dinosaur Elder who had become so fanatical—now almost all members of the dinosaur tribe had entered a similar state of frenzied zealotry!
Those who opposed the god, who blasphemed the god, all deserved death!
Only by acknowledging the gods and believing in them is the only way forward!
The entire tribe must not allow any blasphemous words against the gods, nor permit the Foreign Races to defile them!
In this world, only the Father God of the Lava People is the one True God—this was the thought and realization that had suddenly taken root in most of the Dinosaur People over these past days.
For which god could be as majestic as their own Father God?
In less than forty sunrises and sunsets, He had completely transformed the appearance of their race, making them so powerful that they once believed they could slaughter those mighty Evil Gods of the Foreign Races!
Yes!
Now the Dinosaur People believed that only their Father God was the one True God of this world, and that the gods of all other races were Pseudo-Gods and Evil Gods!
This was how primitive faith, the scriptures and doctrines of religions, gradually took shape and evolved step by step.
Only, some religions were moderate and benevolent, while others were extremely radical.
And now, the faith of the Dinosaur People had already begun to show signs of extremism!
However, Kangqiao had no idea how the Dinosaur People's faith had turned out. Even if he did, he would probably just laugh it off.
After all, he felt no sense of belonging in this world. They were just ugly, primitive humanoid monsters—their life or death had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't care less.
At this moment, compared to the fanatical state of the Dinosaur People, Kangqiao was quite calm.
Because just in the past few days, Kangqiao had a new worry.
That was, after the Dinosaur People completed this full transformation, he suddenly felt a bit sleepy!
An inexplicable urge to sleep, but Kangqiao resisted it with sheer willpower.
I just woke up not long ago, and now I have to sleep again?
Are you kidding me? Even if I really have to sleep, I should at least wait until I've seen more of how these Dinosaur People develop, right?
Right when things are getting critical—how could I sleep?
It was for this reason that, over these past days, Kangqiao had been standing, standing all the while, just to keep himself ready to resist that sudden, intrusive drowsiness.
