The Doom of the Dinosaur People

Kang Qiao dreamed.

He dreamed a very, very long dream.

In the dream, at times he felt as if he had turned back into a human living an ordinary life on Earth, but at the same time, he would also have some strange and bizarre dreams.

And in these dreams, the most interesting thing Kang Qiao had seen recently was a civilization born because of his existence.

It was a group of dinosaur-men, a group of dinosaur-men who worshipped him as a god.

Because of their worship, they would actually offer sacrifices to him and feed him from time to time.

Was this a dream?

No!

Kang Qiao woke up, but he didn't fully wake up.

It was a strange vision, as unreal as a dream.

It was like being half-awake and half-asleep; he could observe everything happening around him.

Naturally, he also saw the existence of the dinosaur-men.

Kang Qiao was overjoyed at the existence of the dinosaur-men.

Simply because in this desolate world, Kang Qiao was finally no longer alone, and the existence of intelligent beings naturally brought joy to the heart.

Although Kang Qiao couldn't understand the language of the dinosaur-men, he could tell that the dinosaur-men were slowly growing stronger.

Because every time there was a sacrifice, he could clearly distinguish the vibrations from the ground and the rising and falling sounds.

Therefore, towards this primitive civilization that was close to him, Kang Qiao naturally felt an inexplicable affinity.

What was he?

It seemed like a lizard, right?

But it didn't seem like it either?

Kang Qiao had no way of knowing, after all, he hadn't woken up yet, and there was no mirror in the dream, so he didn't know what his situation was now.

But a lizard should be similar in form to a dinosaur, right?

Perhaps this was also the reason the dinosaur-men first discovered and believed in him?

But no matter what, this was always a good start, wasn't it?

As long as he woke up, he would no longer be alone, and he could also witness the development of a civilization.

What novel experience was this, compared to when he was human?

Therefore, Kang Qiao had been wanting to wake up recently.

But it was like when a human has a lucid dream; clearly wanting to wake up, but always seeming to be missing something, unable to wake up at all.

Kang Qiao knew he had slept for a very, very long time, so long that he had almost lost his concept of time, but he had no control over when he could wake up.

However, Kang Qiao wasn't anxious, because he felt that the time for him to naturally wake up was not far off.

Perhaps it was just missing a single thought, a single opportunity.

Therefore, Kang Qiao began to wait slowly.

This kind of waiting wasn't boring; after all, it was dreaming, and also sleeping.

Sleep is never a bad experience for living beings.

Instead, there is always a sense of comfort from the body, unless you are having a nightmare while sleeping.

In this half-awake, half-asleep state, Kang Qiao finally felt his will slowly returning to his body; he was about to wake up!

"It's terrible!"

"Those despicable dark ones and the Poison Fog Tribe have actually colluded with the alien tribes in the ocean!"

"They ambushed our tribe's great warriors! The people of Lava and Earth have suffered heavy casualties!"

"Damn it, what should we do next? Those alien tribes have already attacked; they want to destroy us! We..."

Beneath the huge mountain range were countless enormous ring-shaped stone caves.

These stone caves stretched on and on, forming the current tribal settlement of the dinosaur-men.

It felt like countless dense beehives had appeared on the mountain body.

And beneath these beehives, on the plain at the very foot of the mountain range, the dinosaur-men and their blood relatives had all gathered together.

At this moment, many of the dinosaur-men were in a panic, and even the Dinosaur Elder, who was always calm in the face of change, had a change of expression.

The setting sun slowly slid across the horizon, and the twilight light shone on the countless dinosaur-men, the scene as if portraying that the dinosaur-men would gradually sink into darkness like the setting sun.

The Dinosaur Elder had already heard the countless huge roars in the distance.

They were the proof that their people and blood relatives were engaged in a brutal slaughter with the alien tribes.

"Oh, God of Lava and Earth! Have you no longer favored your people?"

"What do we do?"

Countless dinosaurs whispered in panic, and just as many began to pray in terror.

Only the Elder at the very center barely managed to keep his composure.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, the Elder frowned and barked out a reprimand.

"Everyone, calm down."

"This is a trial given to us by the God of Lava and Earth. Only by passing it can we truly call ourselves the descendants of the gods."

"The brave Lava Warriors will not die in vain. After death, they will all enter the divine kingdom of the God of Lava and Earth."

"Warriors of Lava and Earth are never afraid of battle. This is the only way we can prove our devotion! Prepare for war!"

The Dinosaur Elder's voice was full of vigor. Most of the dinosaurs felt a little more at ease, and some were even willing to fight to the death for their faith.

But there were also those who fell silent, their eyes betraying a glimmer of despair.

Would the God of Lava and Earth truly protect them? After all, no one had ever actually seen the god awaken or come to their aid.

Such a cruel trial... could they really survive it?

Watching the reactions of his people, the Elder's brow furrowed deeply. Then, he spoke again, his voice steady.

"The God of Lava and Earth will never abandon His people, just as in ancient times, our tribe was blessed by the Father God and granted wisdom and stronger bodies!"

As the Elder's resounding words fell, hope and anticipation immediately appeared on the faces of every dinosaur present.

Yes, this was because all the dinosaurs knew that their god, their Father God, truly existed and was sleeping in the lava of the mountains.

As long as the Elder could awaken the Father God, there was still a chance.

In this primitive society, with its primitive faith, perhaps the only thing that could rouse the courage of all the dinosaurs was the existence of the god himself!

Watching the Elder leave and head up the mountain, the spirits of all the dinosaurs slowly lifted.

Some gathered their courage to rush to the front lines and fight the alien tribes, while others began building simple defenses with boulders at the foot of the mountain.

On the mountain, at the edge of the massive volcanic crater.

"Great God of Lava and Earth, please have mercy on Your people."

"Your people are being slaughtered by alien tribes. We long for Your arrival, long for Your gaze, long for Your blessing. Please bring down divine punishment upon the aliens! Father God! Save Your people!"

The Dinosaur Elder knelt on the ground, praying loudly in a trembling voice, without pause.

He could already hear the sounds of fierce battle near the foot of the mountain. The dinosaurs could barely hold on any longer!

They had only one last, final hope to cling to—their only faith.

At the edge of the crater, not only was the Dinosaur Elder praying, but many elderly dinosaurs and children were also praying.

Fear and despair were written all over their faces and in their eyes.

They could do nothing in the battle. The only thing they could do now was hope to awaken the god who had been sleeping since ancient times.

Even though they knew it was incredibly difficult, even impossible, they would keep going as long as there was even the faintest glimmer of hope.

Because faith was their last and only spiritual pillar!

The prayers were mixed with terror and sobbing.

The terror belonged to the elderly, and the sobbing belonged to the children.

At the foot of the mountain, in the distance across the land, more and more alien tribes were surging forward.

They were the Snake-headed Serpent-tailed Tribe that the dinosaurs had originally planned to wipe out, along with the Fish-headed Ocean Tribe that the Serpent People had somehow allied with.

Among these alien humanoids were also their blood relatives.

There were giant Serpent monsters, enormous octopuses, terrifying sea serpents, and colossal Sea Monsters!

An endless tide of monsters was flooding toward the dinosaur settlement, and the dinosaurs were barely holding their ground, fighting for their lives.

The battlefield stretched across the entire land for nearly a hundred kilometers in every direction!

It was like the end of the world. The prolonged, unceasing battle brought with it a constant roar of sound and endless cries.
