Subverted Values

Kang Qiao withdrew its consciousness from the Divine Kingdom, and for a moment, it was dazed.

It wasn't because the conversation with Kaiya had led to any new understanding for Kang Qiao, but because the other four great beasts surrounding it were all manhandling it.

The Giant Serpent raised more than half its body, constantly staring at Kang Qiao's chest. Of all of them, the Water Lizard was the most excessive.

Because it had hands, the Water Lizard was blindly fumbling around Kang Qiao's chest.

It looked as if it wanted to dig out a flower from Kang Qiao's chest.

The Giant Moth was currently perched on Kang Qiao's back, sticking out half its head to watch the Water Lizard fumbling around.

As for the squinting Trilobite, it was too short. It could only transform into a water giant by the sea and stare.

Seeing this scene, Kang Qiao was almost amused to the point of anger!

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

As Kang Qiao regained its senses, it let out a roar and simultaneously punched the Water Lizard on the head.

The Water Lizard let out an immediate wail and then quickly retreated a few steps.

Seeing the situation turn sour, the Giant Serpent and Giant Moth also instantly dodged.

The Water Lizard felt incredibly wronged!

It was merely curious about the symbol that had appeared on Kang Qiao's chest before. It had originally intended to inquire through gestures and roars that weren't entirely symmetrical.

But Kang Qiao had been standing there like a statue, not responding at all. So, they had come closer to carefully confirm Kang Qiao's state.

The Water Lizard looked wronged, but because it was so ugly, Kang Qiao couldn't tell if it was slightly angry or something else.

To be honest, among the four great beasts present, only the Giant Serpent seemed relatively normal in Kang Qiao's eyes.

The Giant Moth, Water Lizard, and Trilobite; these creatures only resembled something in form. Their actual appearances were all the more hideous.

Kang Qiao, having awakened, now had a clear objective.

It didn't want to bother with the Earth-Drilling Demon Worms and Flame Monsters for the time being.

In Kaiya's description, the Earth-Drilling Demon Worms were merely creatures similar to ordinary great beasts. The only slight peculiarity was that they could burrow, making them difficult to defend against.

But could that stump the Serpent People?

Besides, now that the Frog-Fish People's trouble had been resolved and a new race had joined, couldn't they handle it?

As for those Flame Monsters in the desert, since they were in the desert and had no practical value, as long as they didn't run around causing trouble for others, there was no need to go and beat them up.

What about "peeking at divine authority"? They were just fire-attribute beings. Couldn't Kang Qiao figure that out?

Moreover, who knew how many more great beasts existed in this world? Did Kang Qiao have to fight them all?

Wouldn't that be too tiring and troublesome?

Therefore, Kang Qiao finally decided that its ultimate goal for now would be to investigate the Giant Tree, and along the way, it would casually deal with that unruly White Worm.

That seemed to be the plan.

With an idea in mind, Kang Qiao naturally couldn't sit still.

After all, it didn't know when it would become extremely drowsy again.

It was better to do things now, rather than fall asleep for thousands or tens of thousands of years, by which time it would be too late.

No sooner said than done.

Kang Qiao beckoned to the four great beasts and then, with a roar, strode forward, signaling for them to follow.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence would understand.

Seeing Kang Qiao like this, the Giant Moth had a general guess, while the Giant Serpent, Water Lizard, and Trilobite looked confused.

What was this Lava fellow up to now?

Whatever, can't afford to offend them and can't win, so just follow!

And so, under the watchful eyes of the five races' citizens, all their deities began heading towards the northern lands.

The Dinosaur People and Serpent People all wanted to follow.

However, when Kang Qiao turned around and roared at them, they all became obedient.

Their deity wouldn't let them follow.

Knowing this, the five races looked at each other, but in the end, they could only remain in place.

It wasn't bad, though. After this battle, the four races that had suffered losses still had many things to do, which was just as well.

Also, the citizens of the Black Water, a group of crustacean monsters, needed the four races to civilize them.

Thus, the Four Gods of Order instantly became the Five Gods of Order.

Furthermore, through what they had seen and heard this time, most of the citizens of the five races could tell that the Gods of Order were primarily led by the God of Lava.

Moreover, from the majestic and mysterious scene Kang Qiao had just displayed, many among the five races' citizens began to develop reverence and faith towards Kang Qiao.

Therefore, from this moment on, the title of Sovereign began to slowly emerge from the faith of various races.

The God of Lava was the supreme Sovereign among the Gods of Order, while the other gods were the mid and lower-tier Sovereigns.

After three days and nights, far from the hustle and bustle of insignificant beings, Kang Qiao released Kaiya from the Divine Kingdom for the first time.

A giant eye of flame, surrounded by three fiery halos densely packed with eyes.

The fact that it could float and speak completely overturned the understanding of the other four beasts.

Speak? Kaiya could only "speak" now by utilizing the power of its soul to mentally contact deities and act as a translator.

Kaiya's existence astonished the other four beasts for a long time. They all gathered around Kaiya, touching it here and examining it there, making Kaiya somewhat uncomfortable.

Furthermore, while acting as Kang Qiao's translator and learning of the four beasts' naive and ignorant wills, Kaiya became somewhat withdrawn and silent.

Is this the deity that the four races believe in?

This… I can only say that only the great Father God is the most special and wise deity, can't I?

Sensing Kaiya's bewildered gaze, Kang Qiao couldn't help but feel a desire to laugh.

See? This is the god you believe in. How is it? Surprised? Has it shattered your worldview?

Haha.

Kang Qiao chuckled inwardly, while Kaiya numbly translated the conversations for him.

For example:

"Lava, what kind of monster is this? It looks so ugly and strange!" - Water Lizard.

"Meat, meat, I want the kind of meat from before. If you don't give it to me, I'm leaving." - Trilobite.

"Lava, are we going to that giant tree? Great! Such a big tree, its sap must be very delicious." - Giant Moth.

"Oh, Lava, how was this thing made? Can you teach me? And that nice pattern from before, if you teach me, I'll listen to you about everything from now on." - Giant Serpent.

"..."

These translations were somewhat imprecise, but these telepathic communications were an exchange of willpower and information. Understanding the general meaning was enough.

In any case, it was the first time these giant beasts had encountered such a way of communication, so they all appeared extremely curious.

It was as if they had truly discovered a new continent, realizing that such a simple way to understand each other existed in this world.

These four giant beasts showed great interest in Kaiya's existence, and thus, the five giant beasts formed a circle and chatted on the spot for nearly eight days and nights.

In short, Kaiya, who knew the content of their conversations, was on the verge of having its worldview shattered.

Finally, it even resorted to self-hypnosis.

I know nothing, I heard nothing. Yes, deities are great!

The giant eye of flame closed its eyes and assumed an ethereal posture of prayer, as if during a ritual.
