The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

The stinging pain felt like a red-hot steel needle piercing straight into Li Haotian's brain from his palm.

He did not back down; instead, he clenched his fists even tighter.

The fingernail dug completely into the flesh, and warm blood dripped from between the fingers, one drop at a time, onto the clean floor.

"Clatter".

The sound wasn't loud, but it made Su Wan and Liu Hu tremble simultaneously.

"Sir..." Liu Hu's voice was hoarse. He looked at Li Haotian's slightly trembling back and felt as if he was facing not a person, but a prehistoric beast that had broken free of its cage.

Li Haotian suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, churning with a madness that had been suppressed for too long.

He stared intently at his tightly clenched, bleeding fist.

This hand was useless for a whole year.

Throughout the year, he woke up countless times from his dreams, trying to grasp something, but could only feel a cold numbness.

Now, it's back.

They returned, bearing pain and blood.

"Ha ha……"

A low laugh escaped from Li Haotian's throat.

"Hahahahaha—"

The laughter grew louder and more unrestrained, filled with undisguised pleasure and chilling murderous intent, echoing in the empty living room.

Startled, Su Wan took a step back and bumped into Liu Hu's granite-like chest.

She looked at the man laughing loudly, and felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly by someone's hand.

The fisherman who toyed with two forces at the dock, the cook who calmly sharpened his knife in the kitchen, and the "god" who leveled a building with a wave of his hand.

All the images are collapsing, finally converging into the Avenger before us, laughing maniacally because one of his hands has regained feeling...

Li Haotian slowly stopped laughing, his chest heaving violently.

He loosened his fist, looking at the four bloody fingernail marks on his palm. The expression on his face sent chills down Su Wan and Liu Hu's spines.

That wasn't joy, that wasn't excitement.

It's a feeling of satisfaction... of seeing a useful weapon that was lost and then found again.

"Sir, your hand..." Su Wan asked, her voice trembling as she mustered all her courage.

Li Haotian didn't look at her, but casually pulled a tissue from the tissue box and wiped the blood off his hands.

"That's all," he said casually, as if he were talking about something trivial.

He threw the blood-stained tissue into the trash can, then turned and walked towards his bedroom, the room where the gaming pod was located.

"Su Wan".

"Here!" Su Wan jumped up and stood up straight immediately.

"Get the fertilizer order sorted out quickly."

"yes!"

"Liu Hu".

"Sir!" Liu Hu straightened his back.

"Keep an eye on the door, don't let any flies or mosquitoes fly in and disturb me."

"yes!"

Li Haotian walked into the bedroom without looking back and closed the door.

In the living room, Su Wan and Liu Hu exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes the relief of surviving a disaster.

Then, as if remembering something, Su Wan immediately took out the encrypted phone, her fingers trembling, and began to send a new purchasing list to the woman codenamed "Scorpion".

Inside the gaming pod, it was completely dark.

Li Haotian lay down inside, and the hatch slowly closed.

His consciousness was instantly pulled into another dimension.

[Connecting to the God of War game...]

[Game version update detected, loading resource pack...]

Welcome back, player 'Alien'.

A series of system notifications flashed before my eyes, followed by a huge, golden pop-up window that filled my entire field of vision.

[The God's Game Version 2.1 - Shadow Descends, Officially Released!]

[1. Added a server-wide ranking system (Wealth Ranking, Battle Power Ranking, Level Ranking, Guild Ranking).]

[2. Some world-class mission clues have been unlocked.]

[3. Optimized the game's physics engine and fixed known bugs...]

Li Haotian wasn't interested in any of this. He simply closed the announcements and focused his attention on his own attribute panel.

He immediately opened the gene tree of the Alien Queen.

On the originally magnificent and complex gene chain, a brand new, gray branch has now appeared.

The branch extended from the main trunk of the gene tree, but it was not lit up; its entire body was a deathly gray that seemed to devour light.

[New gene branch unlocked: Voidwalker (not yet activated)]

[Description: By absorbing higher-dimensional spatial energy, there is an extremely low probability of inducing genetic mutations. Voidwalkers are dimensional wanderers, the ultimate predators of space.]

[Activation Condition: Consume a Space-type Extraordinary Crystal Core of S-rank (or higher) quality.]

Li Haotian stared blankly at the description of the activation conditions.

Then he smiled.

"Space-based?"

"It really is true that what you wish for comes true."

Didn't the bishops insist that they had a space-based bigwig behind them who could launch high-dimensional attacks?

Row.

Then I'll show you what a space-type master is all about.

He closed the gene tree and opened the newly updated server-wide leaderboard.

[Wealth Ranking]

First place: [Anonymous]

Second place: Mythical Emperor Shitian

Third place: Holy Temple, Lucifer

……

[Power Ranking]

First Place: Mythical Emperor Shitian

Second place: Holy Temple, Lucifer

Third place: [Data deletion]

……

10th place: [Anonymous]

Li Haotian's gaze lingered on the two "anonymous" addresses for a few seconds.

He can understand being number one on the wealth list.

The 50 million US dollars sent by "Scorpion" was obviously converted into in-game wealth by the God System in some way he was unaware of.

As for tenth on the combat power ranking...

That makes sense.

Although the Alien Queen is a mythical-level unit, it has only just hatched. Apart from instantly killing a Mad Dragon and a Tyrant Blade, it has not had any earth-shattering achievements recorded by the system.

His inclusion in the top ten is probably due to the fact that he was the "first mythical unit".

"That's interesting."

Li Haotian stroked his chin, somewhat satisfied with the ranking.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

What he needs now is to develop his strength stealthily.

He casually opened the world channel, and sure enough, it was already in an uproar.

[World] Sword Sweeping the Eight Directions: Holy crap! Who is this? Anonymous? You can be anonymous?

[World] The wind blows and my butt feels cold: Number one on the wealth list, number ten on the power list? Which super-rich family has entered the fray? A player with money power?

[World] I love a chai: Could it be that 'Alien'? I heard he got a mythical baby!

[World] Overlooking All Living Beings: Bullshit! 'Alien' is just a lucky lone wolf. Where would he get so much money to top the wealth list? He's definitely cheating!

Looking at the rapidly scrolling chat history, Li Haotian smiled disdainfully.

He turned off the world chat and casually opened the game's official forum.

A highly popular post with a red banner and highlighted status instantly caught his attention.

Exposing that shameless cheater [Anonymous], and discussing how the Alien faction disrupts game balance!

Posted by ID: Kuanglong_Congtouzailai.

Li Haotian was amused and clicked on it.

In the post, the unfortunate guild leader, whom he had personally sent back to the newbie village, denounced the various crimes of the "Alien" in a tone of grief and indignation.

From being ambushed, to being slaughtered, and finally being "devoured by divinity" and having his account deleted.

He described Li Haotian as a super cheater who exploited game bugs and committed all sorts of evil deeds, and righteously called on all major guilds to unite and form a "punitive force" to jointly eradicate this scourge of the game.

The comments section below the post has already reached tens of thousands of posts.

However, the art style is a bit off.

[1st Floor] I am your father: LOL, you can't beat someone so you accuse them of cheating, are you a primary school student?

[2nd Floor] Professional Argumenter for Thirty Years: The original poster's logic is perfect. Since I can't beat you, you must have cheated.

[3rd Floor] Uncle Wang from next door: A guild with 10,000 members went to block someone's door and got killed instead. They still have the nerve to post about it? If I were you, I would just delete the game.

[4th Floor] Riding a Pig on the Highway: I'm curious, how did the original poster manage to get their account deleted? I'd love a tutorial! I want to try it too!

[5th ​​Floor] Partner of Justice: I support the original poster! Down with the cheaters! Give me back a fair gaming experience! (This comment is worth 0.5 yuan; please delete the content in parentheses.)

……

Li Haotian almost burst out laughing when he saw those uniform, sarcastic comments.

"That girl, Su Wan..."

"They really know how to handle things."

He closed the forum, finding it somewhat boring.

These clowns are no longer worthy to be his opponents.

His consciousness was withdrawn from the main god space and returned to the game world.

Inside a dark and damp underground cave.

The newly born alien queen lies quietly in the deepest part of her lair, her ferocious yet magnificent bone armor reflecting a cold metallic luster in the dim light.

Around it, hundreds of aliens of various shapes and sizes were densely packed together.

Raiders, Corruptors, Lurkers...

After this period of incubation, his alien army has reached a terrifying scale.

Li Haotian uses the "hive mindset" to look down upon his people.

He sensed the primal desire for killing and devouring surging within each alien.

But he did not give the order to attack.

The massacre of the Mad Dragon Guild was to establish our authority.

Now, the authority has been established.

Using such a crude method again is too inefficient.

He remembered the Alien worker bee that had performed a great service at Genesis Tower.

That is true art.

A single thought, transmitted instantly to the minds of every alien through the "Hive Mindset."

It's not "killing".

It's not "devouring".

But...

"penetration."

Li Haotian's cold voice rang out in the mental connection.

"Go, like a virus, and integrate into every corner of this world."

"Go to the mines, go to the forests, go to the human cities, go to all places where there are living things."

"Observe, record, and learn."

"I want a net."

"An omnipresent information network that covers the entire game world."

"Go."

With his last instruction issued.

Inside the cave, the hundreds of alien creatures, like a receding black tide, silently surged out into countless tiny openings and cracks in all directions.

They made no sound and vanished into the unfathomable darkness in the blink of an eye.

The entire cave instantly became empty.

Only the Empress remained, along with Hunter No. 01, who stood beside Li Haotian's descending consciousness.

Li Haotian looked at the empty nest and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He knew that from this moment on, the game had truly begun.

Just then, a private chat request from an unknown number popped up.

[Player 'Prophet' requests to speak with you.]

[Additional information: Your Excellency, I would like to discuss a business deal regarding 'divinity'.]
