An endless expanse of snow, with winding, frozen ice everywhere.

This was the frozen north, one of the planet's two coldest extremes.

Everything in sight was snow-white, with hardly any vegetation visible.

They had ventured deep into this icy wilderness for a full day and night cycle.

The severe cold here was nothing to Kang Qiao and the other four beasts.

In fact, the Water Lizard and Trilobite, who were naturally water-aligned, were having a blast here.

Though they were transcendent behemoths or so-called gods, this was their first time experiencing such an environment.

For creatures that had never traveled far, only knowing sleep and gluttony, the sights here were enough to excite them for a while.

The Water Lizard was drawn to water and possessed some ability to create ice, but its ice-making skills were too weak. Its primary affinity was water, with ice secondary.

Even so, it could somehow turn the ice here into water in the extreme cold, ensuring the water surrounding it wouldn't freeze.

This was quite miraculous.

As for the Trilobite, while it couldn't melt ice into water, it clearly loved the ice. It scurried around like a startled deer, sometimes even burrowing into the ice.

The Giant Moth and Giant Serpent merely watched, finding it rather dull.

"Little Fire Monkey, where is that white giant bug you were talking about? Why haven't we seen it yet?"

The Giant Serpent flicked its tongue, looking left and right as it asked Kaiya, who was hovering low in the air ahead.

"It should be soon. My kin reported that the White Worms should be around this area, no mistake. Please, great Serpent God, be a little more patient," Kaiya replied respectfully.

"Oh."

The Giant Serpent had no airs about it. Hearing Kaiya's words, it simply gave a casual acknowledgment and fell silent.

Honestly, the four beasts around Kang Qiao had no concept of divinity; they certainly had no idea about putting on airs.

The only commonality they shared was their innate condescending and indifferent attitude towards lesser beings.

It was a deeply ingrained habit, accustomed to looking down on lower life forms, which gave them a natural sense of superiority and a carefree demeanor, though they themselves were unaware of it.

Whenever one of the behemoths spoke, Kaiya would translate it for Kang Qiao immediately.

Kang Qiao looked at the ring of water surrounding the Water Lizard, then at the Trilobite causing havoc in the ice. With a hint of helplessness, he transmitted his thoughts.

"Tell them to stop running around, Kaiya. Don't want them getting lost from the group."

"Understood, Father God."

Kaiya adjusted its posture, its soul power scattering, reaching out to the surrounding behemoths and quickly relaying its Father God's divine decree to the four beasts.

Upon hearing Kang Qiao's call, the Water Lizard, which had been playfully melting and refreezing ice in the distance, paused for a moment before complaining about the hassle. It then moved its massive tail towards Kang Qiao.

The Trilobite, which had been wreaking havoc within the ice, broke through the frozen surface like a surfacing submarine, causing a large explosion in the distance as its head emerged.

"Are we having grilled meat? But there's no food? Do you need me to catch some?"

The Trilobite's eyes were narrowed in a gleeful expression, clearly showing its voracious appetite.

To this, Kaiya, who deeply believed in the greatness of gods, could only remain silent.

Fortunately, while the other gods were unreliable, its Father God was clearly filled with supreme wisdom and power. Otherwise, Kaiya might have had a breakdown.

The intelligence of these other gods, acting like children playing house, was truly shocking to its worldview.

The fact that its Father God could command the other gods was not just a display of power, but also an intellectual dominance.

Having thought it all through, Kaiya couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

At least its own Father God wasn't like this.

However, looking at the other four gods, Kaiya felt a pang of sadness for their followers and worshippers.

This shouldn't be happening! How could gods be like this?

In fact, during these past few days, Kaiya had even entertained an inappropriate impulse: to teach these gods how to be proper deities.

As gods, how could you fail your people and followers' expectations?

Kang Qiao had witnessed almost all of Kaiya's reactions over the past few days.

He was also aware of Kaiya's inner turmoil when its worldview was shattered.

As a creation born within his divine kingdom, while Kaiya familiarized itself with its new body, Kang Qiao had also received much feedback from the divine kingdom regarding Kaiya.

Subtly, Kang Qiao had discovered that he could completely control Kaiya's body and also hear its true thoughts or feel its genuine emotions.

How to describe this feeling? It was as if Kaiya's existence had become an extension of Kang Qiao's own body, its arm and its eyes.

It was a peculiar sensation, but Kang Qiao had never mentioned it to Kaiya, nor had he used his will to control its body.

However, looking at Kaiya now, Kang Qiao suddenly had a good idea and said:

"Kaiya, do whatever you wish to do. Of course, if you can manage it, because these fellows aren't exactly the brightest or most obedient."

Upon suddenly hearing Kang Qiao's words in its mind, Kaiya was stunned.

It rotated its eyes towards Kang Qiao's majestic form and its gaze, which seemed to see through all its thoughts. For a moment, Kaiya felt inexplicably excited.

Look, this is our great Father God, how wise and benevolent He is! He is so mighty that He can see into the heart and true thoughts of every believer.

Kaiya's excited heart was filled with deep emotion, but as an eyeball of flame, it couldn't make any facial expressions.

After calming itself down, Kaiya's enormous eyeball turned towards Kang Qiao and said piously and firmly, "Thank you for Father God's revelation. I know what I need to do."

"Mmm."

Sensing Kaiya's excitement and fervor hidden deep in its heart, Kang Qiao felt a touch of emotion at this moment.

Faith, what a weighty thing it is! But I've treated it with such generosity, I haven't wronged it, have I?

With that thought, Kang Qiao then recalled what Kaiya intended to do and inexplicably found it rather amusing.

"If Kaiya succeeds, it will essentially be the teacher of these four giant beast gods, won't it? Haha, that's quite interesting to think about. My follower is the teacher of other gods? Then what does that make me? A god above gods?"

For a moment, Kang Qiao couldn't help but let out a laugh.

However, that laugh, as it emerged from Godzilla's mouth, turned into a low growl.

Hearing the growl, the surrounding four beasts were somewhat bewildered. They all turned to look at Kaiya, their meaning as clear as could be.

Hurry up and translate, what is Lava saying now.

But Kaiya remained silent and speechless under the gaze of the four beasts.

The four beasts exchanged glances, but just then, suddenly, from the distant ice fields, accompanied by a sudden blizzard, a colossal figure approached rapidly.

At that moment, the four beasts and Kang Qiao were startled, and their gazes immediately turned towards the distance.
