Forty sunrises and sunsets might have meant little to Kangqiao now.
Yet in those mere forty days, the Dinosaur People had undergone earth-shaking changes.
At that moment, across the plain in the direction Kangqiao was looking, most of the tribe's Dinosaur People and their blood kin had gathered.
At their head stood the Dinosaur Elder.
Yet this once-aged Dinosaur Person was now enjoying a second spring.
He stood nearly ten meters tall, as high as a three-story building.
At the same time, his entire body was covered in thicker, gray stone armor.
If the Dinosaur People had once still seemed rather humanoid in build, their skin was now utterly inhuman.
Their bodies were like solid rock. With the slightest exertion, their muscles swelled, making them look entirely like monsters made of stone.
Not to mention the fiery red patterns spreading across their bodies whenever they flexed their strength.
They looked like enormous humanoid monsters that had walked out of lava.
There were now many Dinosaur People nearly ten meters tall, like the Dinosaur Elder.
In just forty days, the Dinosaur People's size and height had more than doubled, leaving even Kangqiao wide-eyed.
And beyond the changes in the Dinosaur People themselves, their blood kin—the Primal dinosaurs that had once looked no larger than hamsters to Kangqiao—had also become more like Little Godzilla.
Though still nowhere near Kangqiao's size, they now looked about as large as cats in his eyes.
These individual Primal dinosaurs were likely already close to fifty meters long.
Every movement they made qualified them as Giant Beasts in the truest sense.
In the past, such Primal dinosaurs might have counted as gods to some small races—the very Pseudo-Gods the Dinosaur People had slain before.
Such exaggerated changes shocked not only Kangqiao, but the Dinosaur People themselves as well.
"Great Father God! Benevolent Father God! Your favor for us is as deep as the sea and as vast as the sky! How can we ever repay your grace?"
"Perhaps only by offering the entire land to Father God, by spreading the glory of Lava and Earth to every corner of the world, can we live up to Father God's boundless favor?"
Standing on the plain, the Dinosaur Elder clenched his powerful fists, his entire body brimming with fierce fighting spirit!
Ever since discovering that the tribe could become stronger through training under their god's favor, the Dinosaur Elder had ordered Dinosaur People across the plains to sweat and train every day, endlessly honing their strength and combat skills.
Only by recovering in lava after exhausting themselves completely could they maximize their physical growth.
And it was precisely through such tireless training that the Dinosaur People tribe had undergone such earth-shaking changes in so short a time.
Whenever the Dinosaur Elder saw his Father God now, he became so overwhelmed with excitement that he wished he could offer up his life, tear out his heart, and let his Father God see just how devout he was!
The Dinosaur Elder had originally been nearing the end of his lifespan, but now?
He had become young again, and even stronger. He even felt that he could live another five hundred years!
The mighty power within his body, the abundant vitality his aged frame had not possessed for so long—every bit of it had been bestowed by Father God!
Father God's divine power was so mighty, so vast. Merely showing a little extra favor to his people was enough to benefit them without end!
"Ah! Great and benevolent Father God! Your magnificence truly rivals the Blazing Star in the heavens!!!"
After finishing the day's training, the Dinosaur Elder knelt on one knee upon the plain, panting heavily as he looked toward the figure towering into the sky in the distance. His eyes shone with fanatical light.
If the Dinosaur Elder had once resembled a wise man, a frail-looking priest, then he was completely different now.
He had become a warrior again, and in appearance, he was exactly like a berserker Combat Priest!
Even his training punches produced booming sonic blasts.
Compared with before, the Dinosaur People had changed completely. They no longer needed to proceed cautiously in a battle against the Poison Fog Tribe.
It was precisely for this reason that he had delayed the originally scheduled attack on the Poison Fog Tribe.
Over the past few days, the tribe's growth and improvement had thoroughly fallen to their lowest point, telling him that this favor from Father God had reached its limit.
Thus, two days later, the Dinosaur Elder made his decision: he would lead the tribe's warriors to utterly destroy the Poison Fog Tribe!
And not only the Poison Fog Tribe. In truth, the Dinosaur Elder had already planned that if this battle went smoothly, then after resting and allowing the tribe's numbers to recover, they might even attack the domain of the deep sea!
Only then could they live up to Father God's favor and grace!
To expand the divine domain of the God of Lava and Earth across the entire world—this was the ambition now growing within the Dinosaur Elder's heart!
Young again, strong again, with Father God at his side, the Dinosaur Elder was no longer conservative. Instead, he was filled with boundless fighting spirit.
He would devote everything to his god and fight for his god for the rest of his life!
Even after death, he hoped to enter Father God's Divine Kingdom and serve his Father God forever.
That was the meaning of his existence.
The blindness of primitive worship had thoroughly clouded the Dinosaur Elder's eyes!
But who could say whether that was truly good or bad?
And it was not only the Dinosaur Elder who had become so fanatical. Nearly every member of the Dinosaur People tribe had entered a similarly crazed state of zealous faith!
Those who opposed the gods, those who blasphemed against them, all deserved death!
Only recognizing the gods and believing in them was the sole path forward!
The entire tribe forbade any words of blasphemy, and would not permit other races to insult their god either!
In this world, only the Father God of Lava Flame's people was the one and only True God. This was the belief and understanding that most Dinosaur People had suddenly developed in recent days.
For what god could be as magnificent as their Father God?
In less than forty sunrises and sunsets, he had utterly transformed their race and made them so powerful—powerful enough that they had once believed they could slaughter the mighty Evil Gods of other races!
Yes!
The Dinosaur People now believed that only their Father God was the sole True God in this world, while the gods of all other races were Pseudo-Gods and Evil Gods!
Primitive faith, the doctrines and scriptures of religious sects—this was how they gradually took shape and expanded.
Some sects were moderate and kind, while others were extremely radical.
And now, the Dinosaur People's faith had begun to show signs of extremism!
However, Kangqiao had no idea what the Dinosaur People's faith was becoming. Even if he knew, he would probably only laugh.
After all, Kangqiao felt no sense of belonging in this world. They were merely ugly primitive humanoid monsters. Whether they lived or died had nothing to do with him, and he would not care.
At that moment, compared to the Dinosaur People's fanatical state, Kangqiao remained quite calm.
Because over the past few days, Kangqiao had acquired a new worry.
After the Dinosaur People completed this full transformation, he suddenly felt a little sleepy!
For no reason, he wanted to sleep, though Kangqiao kept resisting it with his willpower.
I just woke up not long ago, and I have to sleep again?
What kind of joke is this? Even if I really have to sleep, I should at least wait until I see more of how these Dinosaur People develop, right?
Things are at a critical point. How can I sleep now?
For that very reason, Kangqiao had remained standing these past days, standing constantly, all so that he could resist those sudden bouts of drowsiness at any moment.
