Chapter 587: I Definitely Won’t Drive the Big Vehicle!

“What a pity…”

“Just that little bit…”

Trilobite was a very greedy eater.

Those “beak-like whole pipe fish” were the most delicious fresh food he had tasted since becoming Trilobite.

He ate and still wanted more.

Just a dozen little fish weren’t nearly enough for him!

It was barely a single gulp.

“Also…”

“This was really rare…”

Trilobite looked at the System’s prompt and felt puzzled.

The status bar clearly showed bright red letters: [Hunger].

“Darn!”

“I was wrong all along.”

“I thought my stomach status depended on how much Chaos Energy was in the food.”

“But that wasn’t entirely true.”

It seemed that to fill Trilobite up, both enough Chaos Energy and plenty of meat were needed; lots of meat with low Chaos Energy didn’t work, and high Chaos Energy with little meat didn’t work either.

“Alright.”

“I’ll hunt for food later.”

“I first planned to find customers.”

“But now I need to eat.”

“Still, before foraging…”

Trilobite checked his Chaos Energy.

Wow, it had jumped to three million points!

Those little fish alone gave him 500,000 Chaos Energy points. Added to all the other bits he had eaten, repayments from the “Strange Liaoning Dragon” and “Plateosaurus”, plus contributions from microorganisms spawn that piled up, hitting three million points made sense.

Before, he would have spent most Chaos Energy on spawn, especially evolving the “plant spawn.”

Today, he didn’t want to do that!

“Hmm…”

“I decided to help myself before helping others!”

“After all, several customers are stronger than me now, right?”

That was true.

Trilobite recalled that among his customers, two were fellow dinosaur-like creatures.

“Uh…”

“Should be a female comrade, right?”

“Should be!”

Although Trilobite didn’t know why, he always felt those two customers were women.

Could this be the intuition of a LSP?

“My Megalodon wife and my Sinosaurus second wife… cough cough…”

Turning customers into wives…

That didn’t seem right.

Trilobite pushed that thought aside for now.

“Anyway, they’re all bigger than me!”

“I’ve become like a small bird leaning on others!”

He didn’t think about dinosaur-like monsters such as Plateosaurus.

After all, in Earth’s history, only blue whales could grow larger than sauropod dinosaurs, being the largest creatures on Earth; plus, some sauropod dinosaurs could challenge a blue whale’s size.

For example, the Fragile Giant Dragon.

Even though its species changed and size shrank a lot, it still had hope to challenge the blue whale.

Trilobite compared himself to the two “female customers,” who were also theropod dinosaurs.

Megalodon, though the plainest dinosaur, wasn’t small—its length was seven to nine meters.

Based on some fossil traces, Megalodon might reach twelve meters in length!

Of course, fossil footprints aren’t very reliable; they’re not real objects but pits that easily change size with ground erosion and sedimentation.

Still, this showed Megalodon was a huge dinosaur.

Sinosaurus also had a length of six to seven meters; not as huge, but bigger than Trilobite!

“Oh, right.”

“I forgot about Wawiyalocroc.”

“This one… ah yes, it’s the customer service young lady Valaharl turned into.”

“In formal papers, it’s unclear if Wawiyalocroc is Loricatosaurus or a theropod dinosaur, but in this plane, it seems like a dinosaur.”

“At least it’s a dinosaur-like creature.”

“Every one of them…”

“Is bigger than me!”

Goodness, now it felt like a small horse pulling a big cart.

“Let’s skip the cart-pushing for now…”

“How can I make customers happy if my body’s weaker than theirs!?”

“How can a fitness trainer with no muscles sell personal training to customers!?”

“So…”

“I must get stronger!”

“Three million points of Chaos Energy, that’s enough!”

“Let’s get started!”

“I’m going to make a big splash!”

“Hopefully, I can create a reality-based fantasy creature!”

The so-called “reality-based fantasy creature” that Trilobite mentioned was actually a being that fit the laws of real science but did not exist.

In fact, his body—the Saber-toothed Beautiful Nodosaurus—could be considered a “reality-based fantasy creature.”

After all, there was no Beautiful Nodosaurus in reality that not only had saber teeth but also possessed a shark-like Lorentz Jar and olfactory membranes.

“First, dig a pit!”

Evolution, especially the modifications of body structures, was a delicate task.

Even for Trilobite, who had a wealth of knowledge in paleontology and anatomy as a “former scholar” and “current foodie,” it was no exception.

He needed a quiet and completely undisturbed environment.

“This place will do.”

He found the basin where he had previously battled the Baryonyx lady against the Arizona dinosaur; now, the fierce Arizona dinosaur had already turned into pale bones, with much of the “sludge” washed away by rainwater, leaving only the upper parts of the sail and skull exposed.

The “bracken fern” he planted had already become seed ferns, and it seemed to love the damp environment.

It thrived and had produced a patch of young saplings through its root systems.

Some saplings had even spread beyond the basin, flourishing in the small clearings created by the Plateosaurus.

The well-fed Strange Liaoning Dragon had also followed Trilobite to that place.

They lay in the moist “muddy water” beneath the “bracken fern,” noisily calling out.

On their armored backs, a large number of Trilobite’s “microorganism spawns” were growing; they were slowly migrating from the back of the Liaoning Dragon toward the trunk and branches of the trees.

“There are quite a few of my spawns here.”

“It seems like they have newly migrated.”

“It feels like home.”

“Well then, let’s start digging!”

Soon, a huge “pit” was dug out.

Trilobite burrowed inside, wrapped himself in slime, then covered the entrance with “mud.”

“Now…”

【Ding—!】

He opened the System, searching for upgrade options.

“Hmm…”

“First, let’s go with you!”

"Attention! Bring all the wounded over here!"

"Careful!"

"This one on the stretcher, missing a leg, is Captain Odysseus. He personally slew fifty ordinary demons and a Chaos sea beast, then led a combat team of Chosen Warriors into the body of the ‘Armored Chaos Fish Deity,’ directly causing his defeat!"

"And you lot! Mind your step! The Chosen Warrior you’re carrying—reduced to just a head and shoulders—is even more legendary! Every warrior who boarded the evil god’s form alongside him fell, yet he alone fought his way to the Soul and slew the deity with his own hands!"

"They are all heroes! Mortal heroes! The glorious chosen of the Giant God!"

Mortal auxiliaries carried the "demigod" on stretchers, slowly descending the steep back of the deity.

Gazing at their new homeland, their eyes widened in astonishment.

For the first time, mortals realized the Giant God had established an outpost even in the Primal Wilderness.

Sacrifice is unavoidable in war.

During the defense of the "Holy Tree Root," two thousand of the ten thousand Chosen Warriors who fought were lost or missing; another six thousand suffered grave injuries.

The Giant God’s blessing makes Chosen Warriors exceedingly difficult to kill.

That twenty percent perished speaks volumes about this battle’s ferocity.

As for the six thousand "gravely injured"—their wounds went far beyond missing limbs, which would count as light injuries for Chosen Warriors.

Most retained only half a torso, or merely an intact head…

Yet from brutal conflict, legends emerge.

Mortals forge their legends through such extraordinary heroes.

But more astonishing than their deeds was the shift in the deities’ demeanor.

"Here we are! Here we are!"

"Come down now! Come down!"

"This place suits you perfectly! Perfectly!"

Turtle-shaped deities serving the Giant God offered their broad backs as platforms, bearing the wounded as they followed the Giant God out of the Chaos Swamp Realm into the Primal Wilderness.

Though their voices were shrill and chattering, an irrefutable divine authority resonated in every mortal’s heart.

The contrast…

seemed almost ridiculous.

Yet no mortal dared laugh.

After all, these "turtle-shaped deities" were the second kind to genuinely accept mortals and offer aid.

Guided by the Giant God, they delivered mortals to this "new world."

"The scale of it…"

"Larger than First New Themis!"

"Now you’re exaggerating. But the future… the future holds promise."

…

While mortals were curiously examining the new world and preparing to settle there with their severely injured Chosen Warrior…

“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”

Violent tremors erupted beneath their feet.

Many mortals, caught unprepared, stumbled and fell.

Even…

“The wounded fell down! You idiots, grab him quick!”

“Hurry! Sword Saint Luo Luo’s head rolled off! Fetch it now! Only his head remains!”

…

Chaos ensued as everyone scrambled.

Luckily, few were hurt.

The source of this upheaval was…

“Boom—!”

Before the mortals, the sacred Giant God—mountainous in stature—used his large claws to excavate a colossal City of Dimensions!

Massive chunks of Primal Mud, boulder-sized or even hill-like, soared through the air.

The enormous City of Dimensions, big enough to hold the entire Giant God, had already risen from the earth near this "new world"!

The Giant God then slipped inside, concealing himself within.

“Giant God…”

“Why dig the City of Dimensions!?”

“Is he starting hibernation!?”

“But why?”

Just as confusion swept through the mortals…

“Screech—!”

“Agh—!”

“Run!”

“Trouble’s coming!”

The turtle-shaped deities who truly aided mortals scattered in chaos, scurrying wildly like a boiling pot.

“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”

Another thunderous roar shook the air.

It seemed yet another immense Vast Dragon God approached!
