Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 471 - 445: Unmatched Might

At the mouth of the valley several kilometers away, Chen Shouyi crouched on the ground, delight shining in his eyes as he looked at the distant Giant Beast, and the extremely faint Domain of Faith it exuded.

"I didn’t expect to be this lucky; the first small island I visit, and I’ve already found a Divine Creature!"

He felt that the spatial passage in Dongning was indeed a place of great fortune for him.

"It’s just that this Domain of Faith is quite faint; if not examined closely, it’s nearly impossible to see. Oh well, having some is better than none," Chen Shouyi thought discontentedly.

This time he hadn’t brought his War Bow, nor was it necessary.

If even the Giant Transformation couldn’t handle it, the War Bow would be useless, its power not even comparable to randomly hurling a stone in Giant form.

He watched for a while and found that the beast was not threatening, so he turned and said to the Shell Lady perched on his shoulder, "Find a place to hide yourself, don’t be afraid!"

"Oh." The Shell Lady had long been weak-kneed from fear, but she mustered the strength to stay because of the Good Giant. Upon hearing this, she immediately scrambled into a small tree hole nearby.

Seeing that the Shell Lady was safely hidden, Chen Shouyi immediately transformed.

His body began to swell.

Three meters... five meters... ten meters...

His perspective grew increasingly elevated, and in the blink of an eye, he had become a colossal figure seventeen meters tall.

The distant Divine Creature sensed something, looked back, and immediately stiffened in terror, its fur standing on end. Instinctively, it scraped the ground with a jolt, its plump body leaping to a stand.

It was not small in size either, with a three-meter height and a six-meter length, undoubtedly not insignificant.

But compared to Chen Shouyi in Giant form, it was no bigger than a little puppy.

"Awoooo..." It mustered the courage to issue a warning to the giant whose intentions were clearly unfriendly.

But as the sound left its throat, it shamefully turned into a whimpering cry of cowardice.

As for the surrounding Barbarians, seeing this mountain-like Giant, they collapsed in fear, losing control of their bowels and bladder, while the braver ones simply turned and fled. Most of them, however, were paralyzed with fear, not daring to move a muscle.

In the next moment, Chen Shouyi began to run, his heavy footsteps causing the ground to vibrate violently, erupting with a sound like rolling thunder.

The fierce winds stirred by his massive body howled like a typhoon, pressing down the grass and shaking the trees uncontrollably.

The Giant’s overwhelming presence terrified the Giant Wolf; any courage for battle it once had vanished, and it quickly spun around, tail between its legs, frantically fleeing for its life.

But there was no way Chen Shouyi would let his prey escape.

He took strides of over a hundred meters at a time.

Moving at six hundred meters per second, close to the speed of sound in this world, the air ahead became as thick as glue. His body brushed swiftly past an eleven or twelve-meter "small tree," uprooting it entirely by the terrifying currents of air.

Countless grasses, trees, and soil swept up violently behind him, soaring dozens of meters high, looking from afar like a looming sandstorm.

This awe-inspiring scene would make even the God of Hunting’s feats on Earth pale in comparison to Chen Shouyi’s current might.

The Giant Wolf’s human-like eyes were filled with intense fear.

It was using all its strength, running desperately.

But the dull sound of footsteps behind it approached rapidly.

From time to time, high-speed stones and chunks of dirt would strike its body, causing it pain, though by then, it couldn’t care less.

Flee, flee, flee!!!

This giant, emerging from who knows where, was utterly terrifying, like a nightmare.

As it ran, suddenly a terrifying wind pressure descended from the sky, causing its body to go limp in fear, a whimper escaping its lips as it was pressed firmly to the ground.

In an instant, a large hand clasped its head, lifting the shivering, Divine Creature clear off the ground.

With a smile that was simultaneously flattering and humble, it tried to appease.

"Too weak, I wasted so much time observing it earlier," Chen Shouyi thought to himself. Then with a heavy hand, an explosive force of hundreds of tons was unleashed abruptly.

"Boom!"

The Giant Wolf’s head was instantly crushed by his grip.

And then these Barbarians...

He lifted the Divine Creature, turning to the small tribe, intending to intimidate them into becoming his followers, but before he could speak.

The Barbarians, already terrified, fell to their knees en masse, trembling like lambs awaiting slaughter.

The words of threat stuck in his throat, as he suspected that pushing them further might scare some to death.

The reality was far too stark!

There wasn’t a single brave soul among them.

And he still held their previous "god" in his hand.

Ultimately, Chen Shouyi had to explain that as long as they worshipped him and prayed regularly, he wouldn’t eat them.

Even a mosquito is meat, and this way they could contribute at least some faith, right?

Time was limited in his Giant Transformation form, so Chen Shouyi dared not linger and immediately turned to leave.

If he exhausted his energy and returned to a normal size, not only would he be temporarily incapacitated and placed in danger, but his intimidation and mystery would vastly diminish.

...

With the Divine Creature in hand, Chen Shouyi left the valley.

He picked up the discarded backpack and sword, then called the Shell Lady hiding in the tree hole to follow.

He ran into the forest at full speed.

The ground shook, trees snapped, flocks of birds took flight, and wild animals collapsed.

His power was peerless!

Even the Shell Lady didn’t dare to get too close from afar.

Once they were far from the Barbarian Tribe, he tossed the Giant Wolf’s body to the ground, quickly canceling the transformation.

His legs weakened, almost causing him to collapse.

This had taken a heavy toll.

Only then did the Shell Lady dare to fly over, clutching Chen Shouyi’s ear, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and excitement as she gazed at the giant body still twitching violently on the ground.

Humph, the little Big Giant is truly the most formidable!

...

This Divine Creature was indeed excessively fat.

As he sliced through the hide with his sword, inside was a thick layer of fat, making Chen Shouyi suspect it had never exercised.

But meat like this, roasted and taken in a bite, with oil dripping, was even tastier.

The backpack he carried still had plenty of Demigod flesh, but using it to replenish energy would indeed be too extravagant, and it was truly wasteful not to eat such a fat Divine Creature.

Chen Shouyi gathered a large pile of dry wood.

From a small bag in the backpack, he took out a bottle of gasoline, a bottle of cumin powder, a bottle of pepper salt, and a bottle of thirteen spices...

Soon, the fire was lit.

As he roasted the meat, a faint sense of joy welled in his heart. It felt like a spring of sweet water flowing through parched, cracked earth, gently soothing his wounded soul, even calming his restless mind.

This was the divinity being absorbed by the World Tree.

Unfortunately, it only lasted a minute.

The joy then quickly dissipated.

He immediately checked his attribute panel.

He found that his perception had increased from 15.4 to 15.6, but his innate abilities remained unchanged.

"Alas, still not enough!" Chen Shouyi said to himself, "Fortunately, there are many more small islands. With one or two more, my soul will be fully restored."

It’s Monday, asking for recommendation votes ahhhh!
