Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

One morning, Longbo woke up on a hilltop by the river and, watching the river water gradually eroding the riverbank, realized that something was amiss.

Did the Yellow River experience such severe flooding during the Neolithic Age?

Longbo sensed something was amiss, as he detected a faint, unnatural radiation. However, he didn't dwell on it too much and instead continued walking towards the radiation zone.

The newly formed Titan, over forty meters tall, walks across this lush land, each step causing the mountains to tremble and dust to rise.

Two deep footprints remain on this land, telling the story of a divine presence.

However, Longbo's mood was not so good at the moment; if possible, he would rather fly.

Unfortunately, he wasn't born with wings, and his birth was quite different from other Titans.

According to his half-understood setting from his previous life, the ancient Titans were all born directly from Earth from a very distant era, and even the young Rodan was born from other Titans.

But he himself was born from the womb of an ordinary human, which is extremely rare.

As for taking off using his own electromagnetic abilities and the Earth's magnetic field, Longbo felt powerless to do so.

He was too heavy, weighing nearly 25,000 tons, or even more. At least for now, he had no way to use the magnetic field to levitate himself.

He looked up at the sun in the sky and felt that the sunlight was unusually dazzling, and the bone armor on his body became scorching hot under the sunlight.

"If the panel really has the ability to travel through the world, I hope the next event will give me a hat and a set of clothes."

"After all, it feels strange for a humanoid being not to wear clothes," Longbo thought to himself as he traversed mountain after mountain, walking for many days and nights.

...

In a certain forest, a sudden tremor terrified the humans who were hunting and gathering hidden in the woods, causing them to scatter and flee.

In extreme terror, they ran out of the forest and instinctively headed towards the tribe.

However, in the next moment, they froze at the edge of the forest, staring blankly at the towering giant, unaware that the harvest in their hands had fallen to the ground.

A giant with two horns passed before them, its bone-white armor making it appear exceptionally imposing. It cast shadows that obscured their terrified faces, making it appear both sacred and majestic.

His every step was accompanied by a tremendous sound, causing the entire forest to tremble, creating a powerful and awe-inspiring spectacle.

Only after the giant had gone far away did people recover from their terror, but their bodies were still in a state of shock and fear, their legs were trembling, and many people collapsed.

Under their gaze, the towering figure stopped before the river and scooped up the water with both hands to drink.

They could clearly see large amounts of water flowing from his palms, cascading down like miniature waterfalls.

Finally, they watched as He stood up, looked up at the sun, and silently chased after it as it receded into the distance.

After He completely disappeared, the people finally recovered and returned to the tribe with the news, spreading the message to everyone with all their might.

On this day, a tribe in the North China Plain witnessed a "god." They carved the god's appearance and behavior into a stone wall.

At the same time, the same imagery was depicted in pottery and wooden cart frames using techniques passed down from a tribe that migrated through the area dozens of winters ago.

From that day on, the legend of giants was born in this land and throughout the world…

...

Longbo traveled across the land that would later give rise to a brilliant civilization, leaving behind traces that stretched for countless miles, and also leaving behind the first legend about a giant in human history.

Along the way, he saw many human tribes, as well as savages roaming the land.

He saw that humans hunted, gathered, and domesticated animals, and that each human settlement had a similar style.

What pleased him most was that when he passed through some tribes, he saw many of the technologies that he had taught the tribesmen, technologies that did not belong to this era.

Although he had long since severed ties with his human identity, seeing these things still gave him the feeling that the Hagi people he had raised had not only survived being stifled by Mother Yellow River, but had actually made something of themselves.

"Judging from this, the priestess must be doing quite well in her later years, right?" Thinking of this, Longbo was in a very good mood. With a wave of his hand, he released the saber-toothed yellow-spotted Hakimi from his hand.

Watching Hakimi flee in panic, Longbo couldn't help but sigh. Once upon a time, he was just a beast of burden who often stayed up all night grinding dust, but now he had become a Titan who could cleave Hakimi's saber teeth with his bare hands.

Speaking of which, didn't the ancient saber-toothed Hakimi of this land become extinct more than 300,000 years ago?

Longbo stroked his chin, looking at the three tails behind Hakimi. He hadn't thought about this matter in depth before.

But now, looking back on the journey and the obviously unusual creatures he had seen, Longbo suddenly understood.

"This must be the Classic of Mountains and Seas!"

He suddenly realized that these obviously abnormal creatures might be strange beasts that had emerged from the hollow earth, roaming this land and leaving behind famous legends in the future.

In Longbo's original world, the Classic of Mountains and Seas was just an ancient record of strange events mixed with a lot of fantasy and a little bit of geographical content.

But in this world, the Classic of Mountains and Seas may simply be a record of the strange beasts that came out of the hollow earth, compiled by ancient people with geographical knowledge.

After considering all this, Longbo realized another problem.

If this statement is true, then wouldn't the underground of this land be full of passages leading to a hollow world?

Longbo looked around suspiciously, but found nothing unusual. His Titan intuition and instincts also failed to elicit any response.

There aren't any around here, at least not.

Longbo felt it was a pity, but he wasn't in a hurry, as he had unlimited time.

He could have waited until he reached full maturity before exploring further.

How so?

He has spent most of his sixty-odd years sleeping, and has not been truly awake for long, so he has not completely changed his human-era concept of time.

"Perhaps I'll become like those immortal beings in movies someday, able to take decades to do one thing?" Longbo mused to himself.

Soon, he had his answer: "If that's the case, then I'll try to become a truly qualified immortal being."

So he silently quickened his pace, speeding towards that highly radioactive area.

If you want to live a carefree and effortless life, you must improve your own stats.

To be honest, it's not really appropriate to start living a life of Buddhist-like immortality right now.

He fears that one day he might suddenly run into the alien queen, MUTO, who likes to give birth to her cubs in other people's bodies.

Or perhaps he'd run headlong into packs of giant horses and hyenas. The thought of being eaten before reaching adulthood was too horrible for him to comprehend.
