Overturned Worldview

As Kangqiao withdrew his consciousness from the Divine Kingdom, he stood there in a daze for a moment.

It was not because his conversation with Kaiya had given him any new insight, but because the other four Giant Beasts beside him were currently pawing all over him.

The Giant Serpent raised most of its body and kept staring at Kangqiao's chest, while the most outrageous one was the Water Lizard.

Because it had hands, it was currently blindly rummaging over Kangqiao's chest.

It looked as though it wanted to scratch a flower into Kangqiao's chest.

The Giant Moth was also lying behind Kangqiao, stretching out half its head to watch the Water Lizard paw at him.

As for that squint-eyed Trilobite, it was too short, so it could only manifest a Water Giant by the sea and stare from there.

Seeing this scene, Kangqiao nearly laughed in anger!

"Get lost! What the hell are you all doing?"

The moment Kangqiao came back to himself, he let out a roar and smashed a fist into the Water Lizard's head.

The Water Lizard instantly howled in pain, then immediately backed away several steps.

Seeing that things were going badly, the Giant Serpent and Giant Moth also darted away at once.

The Water Lizard felt terribly wronged!

It had merely been curious about the symbol that had appeared on Kangqiao's chest earlier and had wanted to ask through awkward gestures and roars.

But Kangqiao had remained standing there like a pillar without responding, so they had gathered around to carefully check on his condition.

The Water Lizard wore an aggrieved expression, but it was so ugly that Kangqiao could not tell whether it was slightly angry or something else.

To be honest, of the four Giant Beasts present, only the Giant Serpent looked relatively normal to Kangqiao.

The Giant Moth, Water Lizard, and Trilobite only resembled their names in shape. Their actual appearances were each more unpleasant than the last.

Now that he had awakened, Kangqiao had nearly formed a clear goal.

For the time being, he did not want to bother with the Earth-Drilling Demon Worms and Flame Monsters.

According to Kaiya's description, the Earth-Drilling Demon Worms were merely creatures similar to ordinary Giant Beasts. Their only unusual trait was that they could burrow underground, making them difficult to guard against.

But could that stump the Serpent People?

Besides, the trouble with the Frog-Fish People had already been resolved, and a new race had joined them. Could they not handle them?

As for those Flame Monsters in the desert, they were in a desert, and they had no value worth exploiting. As long as they did not run around causing trouble, there was no need to go beat them up.

As for spying on divine authority, they were simply beings with a fire attribute. Could Kangqiao not figure that out?

Besides, who knew how many Giant Beasts existed in this world? Was Kangqiao supposed to fight every last one of them?

How exhausting and troublesome would that be?

So Kangqiao ultimately decided that his main purpose for now would be investigating the giant tree, while dealing with that unruly White Worm along the way.

That was roughly the plan.

With a plan in mind, Kangqiao naturally could not sit still.

After all, he had no idea when he might become unbearably sleepy again.

If there was something to do, do it first. Do not wait until he fell asleep again for thousands or tens of thousands of years, when it would be far too late.

He acted as soon as he decided.

Kangqiao beckoned to the four Giant Beasts, then began striding forward amid roars, signaling for them to follow him.

Anyone with even a little intelligence could understand that.

Seeing Kangqiao act this way, the Giant Moth made a rough guess, while the Giant Serpent, Water Lizard, and Trilobite looked utterly confused.

What was this big Lava Flame fellow going to do now?

Forget it. They could not provoke him or defeat him, so they might as well follow!

Thus, under the gaze of the Five Races' people, all their gods set off toward the northern lands.

The Dinosaur People and Serpent People had originally wanted to follow as well.

However, after Kangqiao turned around and roared at them, they obediently stayed put.

The gods did not want them following.

Once the Five Races understood this, they exchanged glances but could only remain where they were.

Besides, after this battle, the Four Races that had suffered losses still had plenty to do, so this worked out well enough.

And there were also these Water's Children, a group of shelled monsters that needed the Four Races to enlighten them with civilization.

From this point on, the Four Gods of Order became the Five Order Gods.

Furthermore, through everything they had seen and heard this time, most of the Five Races' people could tell that the Order Gods were led by the God of Lava.

Moreover, after witnessing Kangqiao's grand and mysterious display, many among the Five Races' people began to feel awe and faith toward him.

Thus, from this moment onward, the title of High God gradually emerged from the faiths of the various races.

The God of Lava was the supreme High God of the Order Gods, while the other gods were middle and lower gods.

Three sunrises and sunsets later, after leaving behind the disturbances of insignificant creatures, Kangqiao released Kaiya from the Divine Kingdom for the first time.

A gigantic flaming eye, surrounded by three flaming halos densely covered in eyes.

It could float and speak. Such an existence utterly overturned the understanding of the other four beasts.

It was not really speaking. Kaiya merely understood how to use the power of the soul to contact the gods with its consciousness and serve as an interpreter.

Kaiya's existence astonished the other four beasts for a long time. Each of them circled around Kaiya, touching here and looking there, making Kaiya feel uncomfortable all over.

And while acting as Kangqiao's interpreter, after learning of the childish and ignorant thoughts of the four beasts, Kaiya became withdrawn and silent for a time.

Were these the gods worshipped by the other Four Races?

This... it could only be said that only the great Father God was the most special and wisest god, right?

Sensing Kaiya's bewildered gaze, Kangqiao secretly found it rather amusing.

See? These were the gods you worshipped. So, how did it feel? Shocked? Was your worldview overturned?

Ha ha.

Kangqiao secretly laughed, while Kaiya continued translating the conversation for him with a numb expression.

For example:

"Lava Flame, what kind of monster is this guy? It's so ugly and strange!" The Water Lizard.

"Meat, meat. I want to eat that kind of meat from before. If you don't give me any, I'm leaving." The Trilobite.

"Lava Flame, are we going to that enormous tree? Great! Such a huge tree must have delicious sap." The Giant Moth.

"Oh, Lava Flame, how did you make this fellow? Can you teach me? And that very nice pattern from before too. As long as you teach me, I'll listen to you in everything from now on." The Giant Serpent.

"..."

There were many things like that. The translations were somewhat imprecise, but this sort of mental communication was an exchange of intent. Understanding the general meaning was enough.

In any case, these Giant Beasts were learning of this form of communication for the first time, so each of them found it extremely novel.

It felt like they had truly discovered a new continent. So there was such a simple way to understand one another's meaning in this world?

The four Giant Beasts showed tremendous interest in Kaiya's existence, and just like that, the five Giant Beasts formed a circle and chatted in place for nearly eight sunrises and sunsets.

In short, Kaiya, who knew the contents of their conversations, nearly had its worldview overturned more than once.

In the end, it even began hypnotizing itself.

I don't know anything. I didn't hear anything. Yes, gods are great!

The flaming giant eye closed its eye and assumed the ethereal posture of prayer during a ritual.
