Unlike the prodigious Minira,
the giant apes lived in hardship.
Though their bodies were massive,
in this era, what creature wasn't large?
Even the meat pigs weighed dozens of tons, capable of knocking down a giant ape with brute force.
Fortunately, they were omnivores and ate anything.
Along the way, the giant apes sneaked peeks at the Dinosaur People's fortress,
occasionally stealing a few weapons,
which slightly enhanced their hunting abilities.
Some clever apes even tried making spears and the like,
from primitive stones to attempts at smelting metal.
However, the best metal veins were occupied by the Dinosaur People,
leaving the giant apes little room for development.
If not for the divine command,
they might have been unable to survive the Dinosaur People's expansion into the southern forests.
"A race's rise depends on timing."
Su Bai observed briefly and withdrew his gaze.
With time accelerated,
Super Bi Beast tirelessly fetched space debris.
The cosmos was littered mostly with meteor fragments,
along with occasional metal scraps, heavily dehydrated corpses, and various mysterious ice blocks.
(Research indicated most of the ice was composed of unknown creatures' urine.)
The Unicorn Beetle Beasts favored the ice blocks most.
Like opening blind boxes, some ice blocks contained rare elements absent in the Tianyuan Realm.
So far, the luckiest had been Meteorite No. 1.
The Tianyuan Realm had grown to 160 kilometers,
using up all intel and experience from the last simulation.
Growth had also slowed significantly.
The Unicorn Beetle Beasts had to venture further to gather resources, increasing risks and diminishing returns.
Nearby resources were almost depleted!
Without technological breakthroughs,
they would fall into a resource scarcity death spiral.
Fortunately, the Talent for cosmic control was widely spread.
Lord of the Four Seas led the Koutao Fishmen in large-scale space development.
Though fishmen were ocean creatures, their power diminished greatly in space.
Only Lord of the Four Seas seemed naturally adapted to the cosmos.
Its tentacles were a great help.
Oddly, the deeper into space it ventured,
the clearer a mysterious voice echoed in its mind,
luring it further into the cosmos.
What should have taken five hundred years to gather was shortened to decades.
"Explore toward the Mars-like planet. Watch for signs of artificial activity along the way."
While exploring, Super Bi Beast unexpectedly discovered recently fallen metal fragments.
Su Bai noticed this as well.
"This matches the artificial traces vaguely mentioned in the late simulation stage."
"Next time I simulate, I'll track this line carefully. I don't want any monsters lurking nearby."
Meanwhile, the Dinosaur People vigorously built space tools but made no breakthrough.
Their efficiency paled compared to simply crossing the void physically.
Su Bai forgot that though they had reached the Iron Age, their skills were unbalanced.
They excelled at making weapons, armor, and combat, capable of defeating medieval magical factions with ease.
But for delicate scientific research, they were lacking—
a crisis for the dinosaurs.
What made Su Bai chuckle was an earlier statement which became a prophecy.
During space exploration, a five-member team unexpectedly activated a Talent from All-Heavens Myriad Realms.
They formed the Interstellar Dinosaur team, calling themselves: Overlord Dragon, Swordback Dragon, Flying Dragon, Triceratops, and Armored Dragon.
They varied in color and had extensive cosmic knowledge,
resembling an ancient animated series from Su Bai's memory.
"Well, better than nothing," he thought.
The Dinosaur People's civilization might have reached only this level.
They preferred cooperating with primitive dinosaurs to study battle techniques.
Minira had grown to 20 meters tall.
It could no longer absorb power from the volcano and had joined the main force exploring space.
Surprisingly, once Minira left the world barrier, its absorption rate of cosmic radiation increased tenfold!
It cultivated rapidly in space, growing to 50 meters tall after a few years.
With its tail, it became the strongest warrior among the dinosaur clans!
However, its intelligence was still around ten years old, lacking much independence.
As it matured, its status grew ever higher,
earning the reverent title of "Sacred Beast" from the Dinosaur People.
Dinosaurs following it mutated under radiation influence,
growing extra heads or gaining flame enchantments powered by radiation.
Hence, its followers multiplied and were called the Flame Dragon Knights.
Led by the Destruction Sovereign Dragon, the primitive dinosaurs had long vied for influence with the Dinosaur People,
but since Minira's birth,
they jointly recognized it as their leader.
Even Super Bi Beast felt challenged and wanted to compete with Minira.
But a single wag of Minira's tail swept Super Bi Beast away,
outmatching even its proudest powers!
Its giant horn cannon was no match for Minira's atomic breath.
Had Minira's minions not held back, Super Bi Beast would have perished.
The blow was huge, leaving Super Bi Beast depressed.
"Could it be that our insect line is truly outdated?"
It brooded in space, trying to find a new direction for its race.
Log: Minira has absorbed cosmic energy and, being naturally immune to extreme environments, has grown into Baby Godzilla, forming a batch of followers.
Note: Its mind remains immature, still juvenile. Growth is slow due to energy shortage.
"It really is Godzilla. We must focus on its training going forward."
With its progress confirmed, Su Bai felt delighted.
It was still uncertain which kind of Godzilla it belonged to,
but since it absorbed cosmic energy and began crystallizing energy on its dorsal fin,
it likely aimed to become a space Godzilla first.
