Kangqiao was already enormous.

Before falling asleep, he had stood more than 350 meters tall, but now his size had more than doubled.

He had reached a staggering height of nearly 800 meters.

With such a towering stature, combined with his massive and somewhat bloated build, he had become even more terrifying.

At least, to creatures on the ground, Kangqiao's upright and powerful figure seemed capable of touching the clouds in the sky.

What did 800 meters mean?

It was equivalent to a skyscraper of nearly 250 stories.

And unlike a skyscraper, Kangqiao was solid all the way through. Given the proportions of his bloated frame, his size and mass had reached a terrifying extent that no one could even comprehend.

He might have weighed more than a million tons.

Just imagine it: a colossal creature weighing over a million tons walking across the ground.

Merely imagining it was already a scene of destruction.

If Kangqiao, at his current size, took a stroll through a modern city, that city would soon become ruins. There would be no possibility of survival.

Precisely because he understood how huge and terrifying he was, Kangqiao found himself in a difficult position.

How was he supposed to get near the city he had once built?

If he took even a single step, the city would probably collapse before he could get close.

This was asking too much of a Godzilla.

How about crawling over there slowly?

That could work!

Kangqiao's eyes lit up.

Although it might look a little unsightly, it was no big deal.

After all, even lying flat on the ground, Kangqiao was still immense.

To the tiny Four Races, no matter which direction they looked from, they could never think that Kangqiao was damaging the dignity of a god by doing so.

Besides, Kangqiao did not believe in the ways of those gods from myths and films.

Even if I am a god, I'm a god with my own style. I'll do whatever I want, and no one can force me down a path I don't want to take.

Still, despite having that idea, Kangqiao felt that lying on the ground and slowly dragging himself forward with all four limbs was a bit too ridiculous.

It would also somewhat undermine his dignity as someone who utterly crushed the intelligent life of this era.

So, after giving it some careful thought, Kangqiao came up with the perfect solution.

He could use the outrageously vast energy within his body to melt the ground around him into a riverbed of Lava Flame.

He only needed to swim through the molten channel to the edge of the city, and he would not have to worry about the poor little city being destroyed by the aftereffects of his footsteps.

By now, Kangqiao could control his energy as easily as he pleased.

Melting the ground into Lava Flame and keeping it within the range he wanted was easy enough, though it wasted a bit of energy.

But Kangqiao could not be bothered with that right now.

It was rare for him to wake up, and he was extremely curious about how the Four Races had developed.

The sense of accomplishment from a farming simulation game was still waiting for him to enjoy with his own eyes. How could he give that up?

In this barren era, an era so lacking in entertainment, could he not even have this one little hobby?

Besides, he had no idea how many years he had slept this time. If he kept sleeping forever, how was that any different from being dead?

So, Kangqiao had made up his mind. He was determined to be a happy wind man.

He just wondered how large the other three Giant Beasts had grown after all these years.

Perhaps after visiting the city, he could go find them and have a little spar—no, that was wrong. He could reconnect with them.

Only then could he better establish his position as the big brother.

After creating the city last time, Kangqiao had originally planned to gradually make those three dim-witted fellows acknowledge him as their leader, whether through guidance or trickery. But who would have thought that as soon as the city was built, he would be unable to resist the urge to sleep?

Now, though, he was finally awake!

Since he had no idea when he might fall asleep again, Kangqiao had decided that this time, he absolutely had to firmly establish his position as the leader of the Four Gods of Order!

Yes, this needed to be planned properly.

Putting aside the other three Giant Beasts for now, Kangqiao was also filled with a desire to explore the unknown world as it now was.

Perhaps after finishing all this, he ought to travel around this continent. Even just taking in the scenery would be nice.

After all, the Dinosaur People were too small. In Kangqiao's eyes, they had now become no different in size from ants.

If he stayed around them too often, he might accidentally step on or crush a whole group of them.

If they really were ants, that would be nothing. As a human, would you care whether the ants beneath your feet lived or died?

It would already be pretty good if you had not poured boiling water, pesticide, or insecticide into ant nests as a child.

But Dinosaur People were not ants. They were intelligent life, adorable little fellows who especially revered him, so Kangqiao could not possibly truly turn a blind eye to them.

It was probably a mentality similar to how humans treated pets.

How one treated one's own pet was one's own business, but if someone else hurt it, that was unacceptable.

In short, Kangqiao was somewhat protective of the Dinosaur People.

So, he was genuinely curious about how these little fellows had been doing all these years.

Once he thought of it, he acted without the slightest hesitation.

Then, as his body gradually heated up once more, the earth beneath his feet began to melt.

However, just as Kangqiao was preparing to melt the surrounding land and swim away, and just as he had sunk his body into the Lava Flame with only his head exposed above it—

He suddenly saw several little fellows spring out of the soil some distance away.

Without exception, these little fellows were all Dinosaur People. Kangqiao simply had no idea when they had burrowed into the ground near him.

And each of them had burst out like the Monkey King being born from stone, causing quite a commotion.

At least, to Kangqiao's ears, the sound of them bursting from underground resembled firecrackers.

There were seven Dinosaur People in total who had sprung out from underground.

The moment they emerged, they collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

But when they met Kangqiao's eyes, they instantly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They knelt toward him and began shouting loudly.

Do not let the fact that they looked like ants to Kangqiao fool you—the sounds they made were not quiet at all.

Listening to them babble at him while tears streamed down their faces, Kangqiao was once again at a loss.

I can't understand them!

I can't understand them!

Damn it! Why had all those thoughts resembling faith, before the birth of his Divine Kingdom, not allowed him to learn these little fellows' language?

It was simply too unreasonable, and it gave Kangqiao a terrible headache.

Those phantom scenes that had appeared in Kangqiao's spiritual world before had actually been a kind of spiritual exchange, probably a form of telepathic communication rather than spoken dialogue.

So, Kangqiao could only stare helplessly as the Dinosaur People kept chattering away.

The sight was both frustrating and impossible to respond to.
