Based on Godzilla's original characterization.
In the movies and comics, he was probably Order-neutral, or perhaps Chaos-neutral?
Godzilla had no interest in humans. If not for the appearance of his arch-enemies, he would likely have remained asleep underground in the films.
But setting aside Godzilla's original characterization, what Kangqiao was doing now was essentially Order-neutral.
Not only had Kangqiao turned himself into an Order-neutral entity, but he was now forcibly pulling several Giant Beasts that might originally have belonged to the Chaos faction into his own camp.
Kangqiao's thoughts were actually quite simple.
He wanted to use his wisdom to influence the things around him.
The most direct method was to guide the world's development through certain opportunities.
Better yet, he could take in a few ignorant Giant Beasts as his underlings along the way.
This was a supernatural world, after all.
An individual's strength always had limits.
Even if he was growing in the direction of Planet Godzilla, that would still take time.
He did not believe he was the strongest in this world. Especially after it had taken him so much effort to defeat a Giant Serpent, he was even more convinced of that.
Perhaps in a one-on-one fight, he was a little stronger than every Giant Beast, but what if Giant Beasts teamed up to gang up on him someday?
Wouldn't that mean he might die before he finished growing?
So, in the words of a great leader, he had to unite every force that could be united.
Make the enemy's friends fewer, and his own friends more numerous.
There was never anything wrong with that.
Brutally beating others into submission was feasible in this savage world, but forcing others to submit could never compare to binding their interests together.
The reason Kangqiao was putting so much effort into building a city now was to allow the Four Races to interact peacefully and, ideally, leave their primitive ways behind sooner.
Furthermore, their differing cultures could clash and develop in as many dimensions as possible, as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the Four Races could gradually deepen their understanding of one another through interaction, erase their barriers, and bind their interests together as tightly as possible.
You had me within you, and I had you within me. Such indirect influence would inevitably cause the Giant Beasts behind each race to develop habitual behaviors and ways of thinking as they gradually grew wiser.
Additionally, within this union, he had to demonstrate his own status.
In short, he had to make himself appear to be the leader in every respect.
Just like now.
The Alliance of the Four Races and the contract between the gods—this was a day worth celebrating for everyone.
At Kangqiao's signal, the races gathered a great deal of food.
In the broad, square city, the races gathered together, each holding their own celebrations and stuffing themselves with food and drink.
Of course, the food offered to the gods was the most plentiful.
The Water Lizard, Giant Serpent, and even the Giant Moth all ate raw food.
Seeing this, Kangqiao kept shaking his head. Then, on his own initiative, he roasted a creature that looked like an oversized rat and handed it to the Water Lizard.
The Water Lizard looked at the food Kangqiao offered and, without standing on ceremony, took it directly.
It had long been tempted by the aroma of the cooked food the Dinosaur People had offered Kangqiao.
It was only because of its pride that it had not dared take the offerings the Dinosaur People had presented to Kangqiao.
The instant it tasted the cooked food, the Water Lizard's whole body froze.
What had I been eating all these years?
Why did food smell so good after being roasted over fire?
And what had my people been doing all these years?
Both angry and intoxicated by the fragrance filling its mouth, the Water Lizard looked at Kangqiao again with burning eyes.
Seeing the Water Lizard like this, Kangqiao immediately felt that his goal had been achieved.
Ah, this era was amazing!
One meal was enough to gain an underling. What a wonderful feeling.
Seeing the Water Lizard like this, Kangqiao shifted his half-crouched body.
He familiarly patted the Water Lizard with one hand, then pointed toward the place in the city where his people were grilling food, indicating that it could take whatever it wanted.
The Water Lizard understood at once.
It also gave Kangqiao an immensely grateful look.
Seeing the Water Lizard like this, Kangqiao could not help wanting to burst out laughing.
Unfortunately, laughter from him was little different from muffled thunder, and the Four Races found it somewhat bewildering.
Seeing the God of Lava give food to the God of Water, and seeing that the God of Water accepted it without the slightest politeness, the Four Races had no more doubts at that moment.
The four gods had indeed formed the most intimate divine pact!
The food offered by their people could even be shared. Wasn't that proof of intimacy?
Since Kangqiao treated the Water Lizard this way, he naturally would not favor one over the others.
He casually picked up another piece of cooked food and tossed it to the eager Giant Serpent, then tossed one to the bald Giant Moth as well.
The Giant Serpent opened its mouth, caught the cooked food, and swallowed it.
At that moment, there was still fear in its gaze toward Kangqiao, but a trace of complicated emotion whose meaning was unclear had also appeared.
The Giant Serpent had been beaten terribly by Kangqiao before.
It still had internal injuries, so it could not help feeling uneasy and afraid whenever it looked at Kangqiao.
If it had not known that Kangqiao no longer meant it harm, it would have fled long ago.
As for the Giant Moth, it was completely indifferent. It neither feared Kangqiao nor felt anything else toward him.
However, the instant it tasted the cooked food, its eyes lit up as well.
Then Kangqiao saw it use several of its eight slender legs to touch its people, signaling for them to borrow some fire from the Dinosaur People to roast meat.
The Mosquito People did not eat meat. They ate only tree fruit and sap.
They did not eat it, but their Mother Goddess did.
The Giant Moth was an omnivorous Giant Beast. Although it ate trees most of the time, it needed meat too. Otherwise, it would not have come here hoping to get a share of the Giant Beasts' Blood Food.
The Mosquito People's Mother Goddess was easy to feed, but from the moment they obtained fire and learned how delicious roasted meat was, the Mosquito People would have plenty of trouble in the future.
"This really is a world of foodies!"
Kangqiao understood now. A foodie's world was only at its most harmonious when everyone was eating.
Especially when you were willing to share food.
The cheerful primitive bonfire gathering was extremely lively.
Fires rose from many places throughout the city, reflecting upon the Giant Beasts' faces outside the city and giving the Four Races watching them an inexplicable sense of security.
And on this very night, as the Four Races exchanged food with one another, they gradually began to find each other more agreeable.
Was this Order?
The Four Races' long-tense nerves relaxed. This beautiful night allowed them to experience strange emotions they had never felt before in their lives.
A vague conceptual understanding of the word Order gradually emerged in their minds.
During that night's revelry, many among the Four Races even performed the most primitive act of making love right on the spot.
It made Kangqiao cry out that it was hurting his eyes.
His eyes hurt so badly that he began to feel sleepy.
Sleepy?
Yes, Kangqiao was already extremely sleepy and exhausted.
His mind was so muddled that it felt as though it had been smeared with paste, leaving him unable to concentrate.
At that moment, Kangqiao understood.
He could no longer resist the invading drowsiness.
He needed to replenish his energy. He needed a good sleep.
Then, after barely holding on until the sun rose the next day, Kangqiao made several meaningless gestures under the Three Beasts' somewhat astonished gazes before directly burrowing into the ground where he stood.
The hardness of earth and rock was nothing to Kangqiao.
Digging like a dog and kicking his legs continuously, he quickly disappeared beneath the surface.
Kangqiao now did nothing but head deeper underground.
In his groggy state, his primitive mechanical motions continued until Kangqiao felt himself enveloped by endless warmth.
Then he swam for a very, very long time, until the warmth reached a state that unconsciously satisfied him. Only then did he completely cease all movement and fall into deep slumber.
