Chapter 38 - The Birth of Interstellar Dinosaurs, Baby Godzilla!
Although they were massive, what animal wasn’t large in this era?
Even the Meat Pigs weighed dozens of tonnes and could easily kill a giant ape if they charged at it.
Fortunately, the apes were omnivorous and could eat anything.
Along their journey, the giant apes would sneak glances at the Dinosaurian castles.
Occasionally, they would steal a few weapons, enhancing their hunting capabilities.
Some clever giant apes even attempted to craft spears and other tools, transitioning from using simple stones to experimenting with metal smelting.
However, the best metal veins were already claimed by the Dinosaurians.
The giant apes still had little room for development.
If it weren’t for the divine oracle, it was likely that the Dinosaurians would have expanded into the southern forests, leaving the giant apes without a means to survive.
“The rise of a race requires the right timing.”
Su Bai observed for a moment before retracting his gaze.
With time acceleration in effect, the Super Beasts tirelessly collected fragments.
The space around them was filled with various meteorite shards.
Occasionally, they came across unidentified metal debris, severely dehydrated corpses, and various mysterious ice blocks (which, upon investigation, turned out to mostly be the urine of unknown creatures).
Among these, the ice blocks were the most welcomed by the Rhinoceros Beasts.
It was like opening blind boxes, as some ice blocks contained rare elements that supplemented what the Tianyuan Realm lacked.
So far, the luckiest find had been Meteorite No. 1.
The Tianyuan Realm had now grown to 160 kilometres.
All the intelligence gained from the last simulation had been fully utilized.
However, the rate of growth was slowing down.
The Super Beasts not only needed to travel far to gather resources but also faced increased dangers.
Collecting these resources was becoming a losing game.
Nearby resources had been exhausted!
If there were no technological breakthroughs, they would fall into a vicious cycle of resource scarcity.
Fortunately, the ability to harness the cosmos had become widespread.
The Lord of the Four Seas led the Kotoa Mermen in the grand exploration of space.
Though the fishmen were aquatic creatures, their strength diminished in space.
However, the Lord of the Four Seas seemed uniquely suited to the cosmos for some unknown reason.
Its tentacles proved immensely helpful.
Strangely, the deeper they ventured into space, the more the Lord of the Four Seas could hear a voice echoing in its mind.
The voice beckoned it further into the universe.
What was originally expected to take 500 years to gather was now reduced to just a few decades.
“Explore towards Mars. Be wary of any artificial traces along the way.”
During their explorations, the Super Beasts unexpectedly discovered some metal fragments that had fallen recently.
Su Bai noted this as well.
“This was vaguely mentioned at the end of the last simulation.”
“In the next simulation, I’ll investigate this lead closely. I don’t want any monsters lurking nearby.”
He silently committed this to memory.
Meanwhile, the Dinosaurians were diligently constructing space tools as instructed, but they hadn’t made any groundbreaking achievements.
Their efficiency was still far inferior to traveling through the void using their physical strength.
Su Bai forgot that although they had entered the Iron Age, their progress was severely imbalanced.
They took shortcuts, excelling in weapon and armor manufacturing, as well as combat.
Even if they encountered medieval magical factions, they could still triumph.
However, when it came to research and intricate tasks, they were like dinosaurs in peril.
What made him laugh was that his earlier words had come true.
In their journey through space, a small team of five had inadvertently activated the talent of the Worlds of All.
They formed the Interstellar Dinosaur team and dubbed themselves: Overlord Dragon, Swordback Dragon, Sky Dragon, Triceratops, and Ironclad Dragon.
Each one was a different color and possessed considerable knowledge about the universe.
This resonated with an old animated series he remembered.
“Better than nothing.”
The Dinosaurians might have reached their developmental peak.
They preferred collaborating with the Primitive Dinosaurs to study combat techniques.
Among them, the mini Lala had grown to 20 meters long.
Lying dormant in a volcano, it could no longer absorb strength.
Now, it was exploring space along with the larger group.
To everyone’s surprise, outside the world barrier, the mini Lala’s rate of consumption had increased tenfold!
It was rapidly absorbing cosmic radiation.
In space, its cultivation was progressing at an astounding rate.
After a few years of training, it had grown to 50 meters tall.
With its powerful tail, it had become the strongest warrior among the dinosaur clan!
However, the little creature still had the mindset of a ten-year-old, lacking decisive thoughts.
As it grew, its status became increasingly revered.
The Dinosaurians hailed it as the “Holy Beast.”
With more Dinosaurians following it, they too began to be influenced by the radiation, resulting in unknown mutations.
Some even grew a second head, while others became infused with flames, enhanced by the radiation.
Thus, it amassed even more followers, known as the “Flame Dragon Knights.”
The Original Dinosaur faction, led by the Lord of Destruction, had been subtly vying for influence over the Dinosaurians.
However, ever since the little creature’s birth, they had collectively recognized it as their leader.
In fact, the Super Beasts were not too pleased and wanted to compete with the little creature.
But the moment the little creature flicked its tail, it sent the Super Beast flying into the air.
Even its most prized strength was no match for the little one’s atomic breath!
Had the little creature not held back, the Super Beast knew it would have certainly met its end.
This defeat was a heavy blow, leaving the Super Beast despondent.
“Are we truly insects lagging behind the times?”
It sulked in the universe, seeking a new direction for its race.
[Log: The mini Lala absorbs cosmic energy and is naturally unafraid of extreme environments, having grown into Baby Godzilla, and has cultivated a group of followers.].
[Note: Its intellect has not yet matured; it remains in its juvenile phase. Due to a lack of energy resources, its growth is extremely slow.].
“So it really is Godzilla; I’ll have to focus on cultivating it.”
With the validation of his guesses, Su Bai felt a surge of joy.
At present, it was unclear which version of Godzilla it would belong to.
From its ability to absorb cosmic energy and attempt to condense it into crystals on its dorsal fins, it seemed it was on its way to becoming a cosmic Godzilla.
