Chapter 621: Time to Grow Bigger! More Body Hair Needed!

“Not bad, not bad.”

“Baryonyx lady was indeed reliable.”

In Trilobite’s eyes, his recent sales pitch was a success.

Although the Sinosaurus and the Giant Kunpeng Pterosaur hesitated at first, they followed suit after seeing Baryonyx gulp down the “roasted Barmosaurus leg meat.”

Their eyes sparkled with desire.

“Wahaha!”

“They were conquered by my great cooking skills!”

“Indeed, being skilled at skewers was unbeatable!”

“When I developed new dishes in the future, you all would bow to my culinary prowess!”

Although Trilobite’s roasting was rough and the food was hard to swallow for humans, that didn’t stop him from feeling proud for a moment.

“But you can’t just look at me with those eager eyes; that won’t work!”

“Desire alone isn’t enough; you need to take action!”

“If you want to keep eating leg meat,”

“Then go forage!”

“I’ll help you roast it!”

“I charge one leg and one hock as the cost and labor fee!”

This was Trilobite’s goal in offering the most delicious “leg meat.”

In the future, if he wanted roasted meat, he just had to guard the oven; he wouldn’t need to work hard himself. By processing and roasting, he got the tastiest leg meat and hocks for free!

However, before this wonderful plan could happen…

【You have a new inquiry request, would you like to answer!?】

“Oh!”

“The evolution black room reopened!”

“That was wonderful!”

“This time the customer was…”

“Oh!”

“A regular!”

“The Giant God was generous!”

Barbatos exclaimed.

He had thought the Giant God would demand a high price for strengthening their Souls, with some malicious terms waiting.

But Lady Xidi’s taunting gaze reminded him of a fact—that the Giant God wasn’t a cunning ruler like the First Demon God Barbatos.

He should be a proud, vast, visionary yet utterly mysterious great deity.

Indeed, this was true.

The Giant God imposed no conditions like "tightening control," "demanding fealty and tribute," or "forcing hostility toward other deities." Instead, it simply informed the chaos goddesses that such blessings wouldn’t be the last.

More opportunities for cooperation would come.

The Giant God merely sought fair payment for its efforts—a reasonable price well within their means!

Only now did Barbatos grasp what Lady Xidi meant by "both win."

"Fairness, sincerity, and mutual trust."

"So this is your alternative proposal!?"

"This is the truth of the Great Plan!?"

"Or is even this grand feat merely part of the Great Plan!?"

…

Barbatos imagined the new world the Giant God aimed to build—fragments or the full scope of the Great Plan.

A world with clear rules, free from deceit, brimming with sincerity.

The mere thought seemed almost laughable…

A utopian fantasy.

Yet…

"The Giant God wields transformative power and the might to steal Heavenly Fire, bringing Fire Domain Descension to the primordial."

"Creating such a world isn’t beyond its reach!"

"But before that…"

More than the Giant God’s new world, Barbatos craved fulfillment of his own newfound desires—urges born from his strengthened Soul!

"Please…"

"Grant me the power of Primordial Earth!"

"Sinosaurus!"

"If I’m upgrading, I’d go all out on size."

"And it must be a large theropod dinosaur."

Though "Sinosaurus" repeats "Sino," its most striking trait remains that name itself.

Otherwise, it’s unremarkable.

Despite being a top predator from the late Triassic to early Jurassic, its holotype measured under 6 meters. Trilobite’s enlargement to 6.5 meters seemed plausible.

But at 6.5 meters, even as a top predator, it only matched Ceratosaurus…

In the Morrison Formation, Ceratosaurus was prey Allosaurus dominated. If Allosaurus was the late Jurassic’s lion, Ceratosaurus ranked merely as a leopard.

Moreover, they lacked personality.

Although the two crests on their heads were indeed quite eye-catching, they were standard features from the late Triassic to early Jurassic period; when first discovered, they were misclassified as double-spined dragons due to the similarity of their head crests.

If they were mistaken for something else, how could they claim to have personality?

“Without personality, there is no recognition.”

“A lack of recognition makes it hard to represent Chinese dinosaurs.”

“Stuffing two ‘China’ into the name really shows a lack of something to make up for it.”

“So, which type of Chinese dinosaurs had the biggest impact on the development of global paleontology?”

“Of course, it’s…”

“Various feathered dinosaurs!”

The relationship between birds and the origins of dinosaurs had long been very mysterious; at first, many paleontologists suggested that birds came from dinosaurs mainly because they looked so similar in their body structures.

The first link between birds and dinosaurs came from the Archaeopteryx fossil found in Germany.

As early as 1868, the famous scholar Huxley proposed that Archaeopteryx, which had features of both birds and dinosaurs, seemed to be a stepping stone between them.

But in the 1980s, rumors spread that “the Archaeopteryx fossil was faked by greedy merchants.” Some people against evolution even said the feather marks were pressed in with chicken feathers.

Although rumors were just rumors, they spread widely in the public domain, putting an unnecessary dark cloud over the “origin of birds.”

The discovery of the late Jurassic to early Cretaceous fossil beds in Liaoxi, China, ended the debate on whether birds started from dinosaurs; after that, most top paleontologists supported the idea that birds evolved from dinosaurs.

Rumors like “the Archaeopteryx fossil is fake” also vanished.

Plus, the Liaoxi fossil finds even changed how people saw Archaeopteryx.

In 2011, many finders and describers of feathered dinosaurs, including the top paleontologist Xu Xing, published a paper in Nature; it described a theropod dinosaur called Zhongjiaosaurus.

This dinosaur also had feathers, and Xu Xing thought they were closely related to Archaeopteryx.

After a full study of Zhongjiaosaurus, Xu Xing and his team decided Zhongjiaosaurus and its close kin Archaeopteryx were likely not bird ancestors.

Instead, they might be ancestors of Pterosaurs!

This meant those later Pterosaurs that ran on the ground probably came from bird-like ancestors, losing their Flying Capability after moving to land!

Birds would then be a sister group very close to the Pterosaurs.

This idea really stunned Trilobite for a long time.

“Well…”

“Anyway…”

“Sinosaurus!”

“You need to Grow Bigger! And get feathers!”
