"So what? For me, this is something that must be done. Yao, I have no intention of backing down from this."
"...Can you tell me why?"
"reason?"
"The reason why we must take this planet."
Yao's gaze was very serious.
He would not allow Zhu Yue to avoid this issue.
If it were just pure ambition, he wouldn't have made Zhu Yue risk her life for such a small thing.
"...Do I have to answer?"
Zhu Yue remained silent for a long while before speaking.
Yao didn't say anything, he just stared at her.
What you see says it all.
Zhu Yue knew that she couldn't avoid it this time and had to explain the reason to Yao.
"—It's beautiful, this planet is beautiful."
Even though humans possess qualities no less divine than the gods, it couldn't stop my desire to take it. However, this was just my initial thought when I was on the moon.
As she explained the reasons, Zhu Yue feigned composure.
It's as if they're hiding their true thoughts.
Yao pressed on, "While this might be a passable reason, there must be more to it than just that, right?"
"Gurgle... It really doesn't miss a single gap..."
Zhu Yue blushed slightly and let out a coquettish sigh with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
He also looked embarrassed.
However, Yao did not compromise.
If Zhu Yue only wanted to take over the Earth, she wouldn't be so conflicted and hesitant; instead, she would have stated her ambition in a more domineering way.
She must have had a deeper reason.
Yao couldn't let Zhu Yue get away with it so easily.
"...At first, I simply wanted to take over the Earth, at least that's how it was at the beginning. But the person who truly made me think about this wish more deeply is you, Yao."
"....I?"
"That's right. I can't bear to see humans ruin such a beautiful planet. You know, this is where Yao and I fell in love! No matter how much time passes, our memories will be etched into the soul of this planet."
Therefore, how could I possibly allow humans to threaten us!
Zhu Yue poured out her thoughts.
With her flushed cheeks and crimson eyes that seemed to be veiled in mist, she didn't seem to be talking about conquering the world.
Instead, it's about confessing your love to someone you deeply love.
—Was Zhu Yue doing this for me?
Yao's thoughts became chaotic.
Zhu Yue's confession continues.
"Yao, humans are extremely dangerous creatures."
They will eventually target the planet, and they will eventually become our enemies. As the saying goes, danger must be nipped in the bud; this is exactly what it means.
Of course, this is not a sufficient reason.
The problem lies with Yao, with you.
No matter how much I want to deny it... Yao, you and I are different. You will be killed, you will decay, you will wear down. To avoid that future, I must seize the world for your sake.
I said I'd protect you, and I would never go back on my word. I'm the older sister; isn't protecting my younger brother my natural duty?
Zhu Yue demonstrated an unwavering determination that refused to be contradicted by anyone.
The initial ambition stemmed from selfish desires.
However, her subsequent wish was born out of love, which became Zhu Yue's greatest motivation to move forward.

"Why didn't you tell me these things..."
Yao covered his forehead in distress.
He had never experienced such a complex moment.
I am overjoyed by Zhu Yue's love, but at the same time, I feel a pang of sympathy for her domineering and autocratic ways.
"It's so embarrassing! These aren't things you can just say casually! Can't you understand your older sister's girlish heart?"
"Yes, I'm so sorry, I was not understanding."
"Now a world war is about to begin because of your girlish heart. If people knew that this was the reason for the racial war, the True Ancestor would probably lose all face."
"Hmm, Yao is making it sound like I did something wrong."
However, the disappearance of the mystery will inevitably make the planet unsuitable for our habitation, which is why I chose to change the world to a form suitable for us.
I have no intention of bowing down to humanity.
Besides, given humanity's usual practices, who can guarantee they won't extend their reach into the inner sea of the star?
Zhu Yue pouted indignantly.
That's absolutely right.
So correct that even Yao couldn't refute it.
If humanity gains the ability to drain a planet of its energy reserves, then humanity will inevitably drain the planet dry in the future.
Human beings follow a consumerist civilization.
To consume everything in order to reach a better future, even at the cost of planetary destruction, to ensure the prosperity of humanity.
This is probably the opinion of most people.
Yao, who had a human way of thinking, didn't think of this immediately.
Although Zhu Yue's autocratic approach was not good, her consideration and precautions for the future were correct.
"...It was my poor judgment; you're right."
Rather than perish along with the planet, humanity would sacrifice its homeworld for the survival of its own species. This is the right thing to do for humanity.
Yao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
While this is normal for humans, it is strange for other races.
No race is as abnormal as humans.
From the perspective of other fantasy species, since the planet has perished, it wouldn't be a big deal if their own race were to be wiped out.
Alternatively, they might prioritize saving their home planet to ensure the survival of their own race.
Many fantasy species have never considered the option of sacrificing their home planet, viewing their home planet as equivalent to themselves.
Without their home planet, they wouldn't exist.
Zhu Yue scornfully believed that humans lacked even the ambition to die alongside the planet, making them despicable as living beings.
Heaven creates all things to nourish man, yet man has nothing to repay Heaven.
Zhu Yue is fully qualified to say that.
Who told her to be the UO of the planet?
"In short, my thoughts will not change. What happens to humanity is none of my business. What I want to do is to let the Dead Apostles take the place of humans as the primates and make the planet a more suitable environment for us to live in... This is also for my future and Yao's future."
Zhu Yue stared intently at Yao.
Lonely yet powerful, she felt that everything else was insignificant, and therefore, she was particularly afraid of losing her beloved.
As perfect as she is, she cannot accept imperfection.
He couldn't bear the slightest possibility of Yao leaving him.
“Zhu Yue.…”
Yao was at a loss for words for a moment.
He noticed Zhu Yue's worry.
What Zhu Yue said was basically true, whether it was the threats that humanity poses or its vulnerabilities.
The boy broke the silence between the two.
Accept the blood bestowed by Zhu Yue.
The boy regained his vitality and came back to life; even his severed hands and feet grew back.
His recovery diverted their attention.
"Ah, as my first successful experiment, you deserve appropriate reward. I have decided, so I will bestow upon you a name—Melian Solomon."
Zhu Yue was in a very good mood.
The success of the lab rats marked the beginning of the plan, while the act of giving them names was more of a spur-of-the-moment decision.
At that moment, the name Yao Ting came to mind.
—Mei Lian. Solomon.
He ranked twentieth among the twenty-seven dead disciples and was a loyal follower of Zhu Yue.
This was recorded in the intelligence of the previous king.
This information is too obscure.
Yao couldn't recall anything about Mei Lian for a moment until he heard Zhu Yue's declaration.
The concept of twenty-seven patriarchs does not yet exist in the world.
All the True Ancestors of the Dead Apostles were led by Zhu Yue alone.
"Yes, I, Meilian Solomon, will dedicate my life and even my soul to my lord, Zhu Yue Brunstad."
My loyalty belongs only to you.
Mei Lian learned Zhu Yue's real name through blood.
Whether it was out of gratitude for helping him escape from the clutches of humans, or out of a great favor that allowed him to be reborn.
Currently, Mei Lian has become a loyal follower of Zhu Yue.
“Very good. But don’t be so particular. My younger brother’s orders are my orders. You’d better be clear about that.”
"Yes, as you instructed."
Zhu Yue nodded with great satisfaction.
In the future, she will lead more Dead Apostles and True Ancestors, so naturally she will need to recruit more soldiers and horses from outside.
Mei Lian regarded Zhu Yue's order as a matter of course from the bottom of her heart.
He immediately performed the rites of a subject to Yao.
In Yao's eyes, Mei Lian's matter was a minor issue; he was still thinking about Zhu Yue's decision to conquer the world for his sake.
Unfortunately, there were far more unexpected events today than we had imagined.
He didn't even have much time to think.
"This breath..."
Yao suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
For a few seconds, he sensed unusual fluctuations emanating from the earth's veins.
The True Ancestor is a manifestation of the spirit of a planet.
