Chapter 616
by fanqienovelChapter 616: The Giant God is Impressive! Yes! Yes!
"The Giant God entrusted us with this Grand Project, allowing us to fight alongside deities—it was a tremendous honor for us mortals!"
"And we have finally proven ourselves worthy of this honor!"
The voice of First Living Saint Sulya echoed through the Soul Network.
Her passionate words inspired every mortal involved in the project.
"The Giant God’s massive City of Dimensions is finally complete!"
"This will be a Grand Project rivaling the net path!"
In truth, Sulya’s words were exaggerated.
Ever since the Giant God assigned the "net path project" follow-up to mortal spawn, they never ceased expanding the net path.
Each Giant God’s Radiance-class void battleship was equipped not only with the Giant God’s divine technology "Smashing Claw," but also with the "Primal Mud Excavation Device."
When not battling, these battleships worked on net path construction.
Beyond these, mortal spawn built far more Giant God’s Hand-class working ships.
Slightly smaller, they carried only basic weapons and lacked the Smashing Claw, but featured a more powerful Primal Mud Excavation Device.
After countless rounds of mass production, iteration, and modification, mortal engineers finally perfected the hull and excavation device design.
Though all flat and insect-like—uniformly called Giant God’s Hand-class—their claws varied in size.
Over ten thousand Giant God’s Hand-class working ships labored across the net path!
Only about a thousand participated in excavating the City of Dimensions.
Most ships were scattered through the vast net path, endlessly digging. Mortals had already woven a sprawling network covering nearly half the Waist of the Swamp.
After losing Themis and Valaharl, most mortals settled and thrived within the net path.
Though old clan identities lingered—Valaharl people, Themis people, Triton people—they now shared a new collective name: Net People.
"Roar——!"
"Hiss——!"
Just as mortals swelled with pride over their City of Dimensions contribution, untimely roars shattered the moment!
The deep, weighty growls carried divine might, crashing upon them.
"Boom——!"
A Giant God’s Hand-class working ship was seized by colossal hands and hoisted aloft.
"Whew…"
Enormous, round eyes fixed on the vessel!
They were the Giant God’s "ally deities," commanded to excavate the City of Dimensions alongside mortals.
Yet these deities…
Seemed envious of mortal accomplishments. Now, with the project complete, they turned against them.
"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"
The massive deity twisted and flipped the working ships, making them emit creaking mechanical groans.
"Ah——!"
"Help!"
The mortals operating the ships weren’t Chosen Warriors.
Unprepared and mentally overwhelmed,
they clung like startled birds to anything graspable inside the hull, shrieking in terror.
"Giant God, save us!"
At that moment…
"Buzz——!"
Fire Domain-like warmth flooded the newly built City of Dimensions.
Fear, helplessness, and the terror of divine manipulation vanished instantly.
Simultaneously, the deities’ playful handling ceased.
"Bang——!"
The void battleship slipped from Their grasp, crashing into the damp Primal Mud.
"Whew——!"
An enormous skull lowered, gemstone eyes gazing down at the deities.
The Giant God had returned!
—-
"What is this! The Giant God’s thing? Yes! Yes!"
"Show me! Fascinating! Fascinating!"
"Mortals’ creation! Not the Giant God’s!"
"This shape, so flat? Yes! Yes!"
After ascension, the "Rodent God" became "Primordial Spirits"; now far more "playful," They grew curious about baffling objects.
When intrigued, They’d handle things, even dismantle them –
much like children who enjoy breaking things.
This "destructive urge" mostly sprang from curiosity: what happens if I remove this doll’s leg…
Adults occasionally harbor such impulses too, but restraint usually prevails.
Children, lacking self-control, readily act on wild ideas.
These Primordial Spirits mirrored that.
Regarding mortals…
They felt no jealousy, nor attacked them foolishly.
These Primordial Spirits were simply…
Hands were too curious.
Like many cats, they loved to catch things and play mindlessly.
The Primordial Spirits’ actions held no malice; they even considered it an honor for humans—after all, when gods seek mortals to play with, it’s a "glory" for them.
But to the mortals being "played" with, the gods’ behavior was pure malicious chaos!
Fortunately…
"Boom——!"
"Rumble…"
The Giant God’s return halted their reckless actions.
Yet what truly shocked and terrified them wasn’t the Giant God’s colossal form—larger than any "Giant Spirit God" or "Vast Dragon God."
They’d seen that divine body before.
Though they couldn’t reach His ankles, His reappearance still packed a punch; but the second time, the impact faded.
What froze them all was the overwhelming, suffocating bloodstink!
A stench even the etheric storm couldn’t wash away!
When the Giant God peered into the "City of Dimensions," they found the source.
He wasn’t injured.
His divine body remained untouched.
Behind Him lay three mountainous corpses!
Limbs thick as the World Tree and razor-sharp fangs revealed their identities—the Giant Spirit Gods Aghni, Tiwak, and Boropoya.
"Tyrant Candidates!? Yes! Yes!"
"Killed again! Dead! Gone!"
"The Giant God’s unstoppable! Yes! Yes!"
Though sounding like flattery, the Primordial Spirits genuinely praised Him.
As gods lingering between the Primal Wilderness and Chaos Swamp Realm—whether former "Rodent Gods" or current "Primordial Spirits"—they knew Aghni, Tiwak, and Boropoya’s reputations.
These three weren’t just candidates for "Tyrant"; they all were!
Aghni, the largest, was famed across the Primal Wilderness for slaying three fellow Tyrant Candidates in a divine war.
In battle records, skill, and raw power, Aghni ranked among the strongest Tyrant Candidates.
Yet now he and two others had their throats slit by the Giant God’s "Divine Fang Sword," dying miserably for their recklessness!
What stunned them most? The Giant God emerged without a scratch!
This battle was clearly a one-sided slaughter!
One against three Tyrant Candidates—a bloody, brutal victory…
By any measure, the Giant God’s power defied belief!
If this wasn’t unstoppable, nothing was!
However…
What did the Giant God want to do with these three bodies?
"Whoosh…"
The Giant God aimed at the Primordial Spirits, and his deep, mysterious single-syllable magic language crashed down like a tsunami!
"Bu——Yao——Xia——Wan——!"
"Yao——Hao——Hao——Xiang——Chuan!"

"Stop playing around!"
"Be nice to each other!"
Trilobite shook his head slowly at the "Trilobite Bug" that slipped from the hands of the burrowing creature, which looked like a groundhog.
Early mammals, especially ones that liked to dig, had similarities to today’s rodents, particularly those with very fast metabolisms, like ground squirrels or meerkats.
This gave them endless energy.
Animals with extra energy often chattered socially all day or played with whatever they caught.
In short, they were mischievous!
It seemed many small animals shared this problem.
For example…
Cats.
Stray cats caused big harm to nature not only because they bred fast and ate many things, always hunting smaller animals, but also due to their high metabolic rates.
Worse yet, they loved to play.
Often, when full and bored, they played and caught whatever they could.
Cats caught lizards, small birds, and small snakes not to eat, but just for fun.
After playing, they left their catch aside and didn’t eat it.
But by then, the poor little animals had already been played to death.
This hurt the environment badly.
So, feeding stray cats didn’t stop their killing of small birds and reptiles; it made it worse.
"Um…"
"I didn’t expect the burrowing creature to have a similar situation."
"Why bother your allies for no reason?"
"Use that extra energy to dig more holes!"
Seeing the "Late Jurassic Groundhogs" tremble in fear, Trilobite felt his words had some effect.
"Good!"
"Now let’s get to work!"
Trilobite looked at the finished "Cave" that fit him perfectly, nodding in satisfaction.
"Very good."
"Now, what’s next!"
