Chapter 33: Two Evolutionary Paths, Primitive Dinosaurs and Dinosaurians!
[Late Era of the Second Epoch: The newly appointed Raptor leader, taking charge in a time of crisis, realised that the dinosaurs didn’t have much time left.].
[The biggest challenge, which even the former leaders couldn’t solve, was that the dinosaurs had evolved such powerful bodies that they no longer needed weapons. With their bodies capable of tearing apart anything, they had no need, and without any deadly threats, they didn’t develop their minds. Therefore, no one thought of using their brains.].
[Determined not to repeat the mistakes of its predecessors, the Raptor leader made a bold and unprecedented move!].
[It actively split the dinosaur species! Gathering the large and powerful mid-sized and large dinosaurs together, it led the smaller dinosaurs, with the Raptors at the forefront, to live and explore on their own.].
[The Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, representing the large dinosaurs, was deeply dissatisfied. They had never accepted that the leadership had passed to such a small creature.].
[However, the Tyrannosaurus Rex leader convinced its tribe to back down, knowing full well that time was running out for the dinosaurs and that internal conflict would only hasten their demise.].
[The large dinosaurs continued to hunt and purify their bloodlines. Although their brains remained underdeveloped, their battle skills became increasingly refined. Eventually, some of the strongest dinosaurs began to revert to an ancestral form, evolving towards the path of the Western Dragon, growing scales, wings, and the ability to breathe fire or toxic fumes.
These dinosaurs became known as Primitive Dinosaurs, the pinnacle achievement of this evolutionary path, with untapped potential still to be unlocked.].
[The other evolutionary branch, led by the Raptors, faced a much harder life without the help of their larger companions. On a land dominated by prehistoric behemoths, they struggled to survive, with many of their kin hunted by larger creatures. Even the otherwise worthless Meat Pigs dared to bully them due to their size.].
[Many of the smaller dinosaurs blamed their leader for this foolish decision. But as they faced a food crisis, the small dinosaurs were forced to think. They racked their brains, coming up with ways to hunt larger monsters. Traps, fire, and tools were invented one after another.].
[In this process, the Raptor leader was surprised to discover that much of this knowledge didn’t need to be learned from the Evil Eyes or figured out on their own. The knowledge was already embedded in their bloodline!].
[The hidden inheritance of the Lizardmen bloodline and the Dragon Blood has been activated.].
[End of the Second Epoch: Under the threat of extinction from a great flood, the exhausted Raptor leader finally died, but not before glimpsing the dawn of civilisation.].
[After generations of brain development and interbreeding among the small dinosaurs, a new breed of violent dinosaurs emerged. They were highly intelligent, and consciously stood on two legs, freeing their hands and learning to use tools.].
[By the end of the era, this new breed of Dinosaurians was born, starting with the Violent Dinosaurs! They were tall, highly intelligent, and had begun mining metals from the mountains, smelting them into weapons.].
[The third-generation Dinosaurian leader declared himself ‘King’ and commanded the Dinosaurians to build grand castles, temples to the Almighty, and statues in your honour.].
After such a long time, a new bold line of text appeared:
[The Dinosaurian civilisation has been born! It is crude, barbaric, and fond of blood sacrifices, a strange yet fascinating civilisation.].
“It wasn’t easy. Sometimes having too strong a body can actually hinder evolution.”
Su Bai sighed as he finished reading.
It was just like the dinosaurs of Earth’s Blue Planet.
Because they had no natural predators, they ruled the ecosystem with brute strength alone.
Why would they need to evolve their brains?
While tremendous changes were taking place on the ground, the Rhinoceros Beasts, who had been silently expanding into space, were making significant progress of their own.
[After a full epoch of effort, the Rhinoceros Beasts have successfully harvested a constant stream of meteorite fragments, helping the Tianyuan Realm expand to 148 kilometres in size.].
[Their contributions have earned them the world’s blessing.].
[The Super Beasts, adhering to your teachings, have adapted to the space environment, modifying their bodies in interesting ways by discarding useless organs and reshaping their systems to cope with cosmic pressure.].
[With the world’s blessing and after an epoch of refinement, the Super Beasts have evolved their blue talent, Cosmic Gut, into the purple talent, Cosmic Creature!].
[Epoch rewards: Creation Points +1500!].
“This makes up for everything!”
Seeing this, Su Bai smiled.
Simultaneous progress from all fronts couldn’t be better.
He also had a B-level upgrade card, which would be perfect for enhancing this talent.
Who knows, the dinosaurs might even benefit and become interstellar creatures.
After all, exploring space is the way forward!
[As the dinosaurs anxiously awaited, you descended to inspect their progress.].
[The barbaric Dinosaurian civilisation had only just begun to show promise, but you saw a different path for them and acknowledged the wisdom of the third-generation Dinosaurian king.].
[At the same time, you unexpectedly discovered that the Evil Eyes, who had retreated to the swamps, hadn’t given up.].
[Under the leadership of the Evil Eye High Priest, they were exploring the underground, expanding subterranean spaces. Others were researching herbs and genetics, producing numerous mental and strength-enhancing potions, which they now presented to you.].
[You praised the Evil Eyes and decided to turn them into your alchemy factory, selling their potions to earn foreign currency.].
[You also praised the Super Beasts and instructed them that their next goal was to find a large asteroid in near space and settle on it, living permanently in space! Explore the galaxy as much as possible and gather information, find treasures.].
[Then, you activated the Worlds of All talent.].
[The Primitive Dinosaur race has now evolved into the Catastrophe King Dragons from the King Kong universe!].
[The Third Epoch begins, and the dinosaurs, now undisputed rulers, have begun to engage in internal strife!].
