Kangqiao's current size was already extremely, extremely large.

Before falling asleep, his body had been over three hundred and fifty meters tall, and now that size had more than doubled.

It had reached a staggering height of nearly eight hundred meters.

With such immense height, combined with his massive and somewhat bloated build, he was now even more terrifying.

At least, for the creatures on the ground, Kangqiao's towering, robust figure seemed almost capable of touching the clouds in the sky.

What did eight hundred meters even mean?

It was equivalent to a skyscraper of nearly two hundred and fifty stories or more.

And unlike a skyscraper, Kangqiao was completely solid through and through, and with his bloated proportions, his size and tonnage had reached a state so horrifying that it defied comprehension.

It might have weighed over a million tons.

Just imagine it—a colossal being weighing more than a million tons walking across the ground?

Even the mere thought was a scene of utter devastation.

If Kangqiao, in his current state, took a stroll through a modern city, that city would quickly turn into ruins, with no chance of survival.

Precisely because he was aware of his own enormity and terror, Kangqiao now found himself in a bind.

How was he supposed to walk over to that city he had once built?

If he took a step, the city would probably collapse before he even got close.

This was way too hard on a Godzilla like me.

What if I just crawled slowly on the ground?

That could work!

Kangqiao's eyes lit up.

Even though such behavior might be a bit unsightly, it didn't really matter.

After all, even if Kangqiao lay flat on the ground, his size would still be towering enough.

To the tiny Four Races, no matter which direction they looked from, they would never think that Kangqiao doing this would damage a god's dignity or anything like that.

Besides, Kangqiao didn't buy into that whole set of myths and movie gods.

Even if I am a god, I'm the kind of god who's unique—I'll do whatever I want, and no one's going to push me onto a path I don't want to take.

But even with that thought, Kangqiao still felt that crawling on the ground and slowly moving with all four limbs was a bit too ridiculous.

It also somewhat tarnished his pride as a being with high intelligence that could crush this era.

So, after thinking it over carefully, Kangqiao came up with a perfect plan.

He could simply use the absurdly vast energy within his body to melt the ground around him into a 'river' of lava.

He would just need to swim through the melted river over to the city, completely avoiding the risk of the poor little city being destroyed by the shockwaves of his footsteps.

By now, Kangqiao had full control over his energy.

Melting the ground into lava and keeping it within a desired range was quite easy, though it was a bit wasteful of energy.

Still, Kangqiao couldn't be bothered with that anymore.

He rarely woke up, and he was incredibly curious about how the Four Races had developed.

That sense of accomplishment, like playing a farming game, was waiting for him to enjoy with his own eyes—how could he give that up?

In this barren era, with so little fun to be had, couldn't he at least keep this one hobby?

Besides, who knew how many years or months he had slept this time? If he just kept sleeping, what difference was there between that and being dead?

So, Kangqiao had already decided—he was going to be a happy wind-man.

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

Maybe after checking out the city, he could go find them and have a little spar—no, wait, to bond a bit.

Only then could he properly secure his position as the top dog.

Last time, after creating the city, Kangqiao had planned to gradually, through guidance or trickery, get those three not-so-bright ones to acknowledge his status as the boss. But who knew that right after building the city, he couldn't resist the urge to sleep?

Now it was fine—he was finally awake!

Since he wasn't sure when he might fall asleep again, this time Kangqiao was determined to firmly establish his position as the leader of the Four Gods of Order!

Yeah, this needed to be carefully planned.

Also, setting aside the matter of the other three Giant Beasts for now, Kangqiao was filled with a desire to explore the unknown in this world.

Maybe after all this, he should take a stroll around this continent, just to see the sights or something—that wouldn't be bad.

After all, the Dinosaur People were too small; in Kangqiao's eyes, they were now completely the size of ants.

If he stayed around them too long, he might accidentally step on or crush a bunch of them.

If they were really ants, it wouldn't matter—after all, as a human, would you care about the ants under your feet?

Not having poisoned an anthill with boiling water, dichlorvos, or even insecticide as a kid was already pretty good.

But Dinosaur People aren't ants—they're intelligent life, adorable little ones who hold him in particular reverence, so Kangqiao could never truly ignore them.

It's probably something like how humans treat their pets.

How you treat your own pet is your business, but someone else hitting your pet? That's not allowed.

In short, Kangqiao had a somewhat protective, almost parental attitude toward the Dinosaur People.

So right now, Kangqiao was genuinely curious about how these little guys had been doing all these years.

Thinking it, doing it—Kangqiao didn't hesitate at all.

Then, as his body slowly began to heat up again, the ground beneath his feet started to melt.

But just as Kangqiao was about to melt the nearby earth and swim away, and just as he had sunk his body into the Lava Flame with only his head exposed—

Suddenly, not far away, Kangqiao saw several little fellows burst out from the dirt.

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

And each one of them came out like Sun Wukong emerging from the stone—quite a commotion.

At least to Kangqiao's ears, the sound of them popping out of the ground was like firecrackers.

Seven Dinosaur People emerged from underground in total.

The moment they sprang out, they collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

But when their eyes met Kangqiao's, they instantly snapped to attention as if injected with adrenaline, kneeling toward Kangqiao and shouting loudly.

Though these guys looked like ants to Kangqiao, the voices they let out were anything but small.

Hearing them babble on and on at him, all with tears streaming down their faces, Kangqiao felt helpless once again.

I can't understand!

I can't understand!

Damn it! Why hadn't all those countless faith-like thoughts before the birth of his Divine Kingdom taught him these little guys' language?

It was utterly unreasonable, and it gave Kangqiao a massive headache.

Those bubble-like visions that had manifested in Kangqiao's spiritual world before were a kind of spiritual interaction—more like a mental connection than a verbal conversation.

So now, Kangqiao could only stare at the Dinosaur People as they kept babbling away, completely at a loss.

This scene was both frustrating and left him with no idea how to respond.
