The overlord of the gods is interrogating the alien female spy.

Author: Salty Fish Mustard

For Chen Lingxu, the ancient Qilin overlord, once a Tikkaz, always a Tikkaz. Do you think that transforming from a bunch of aliens into the busty, slim-waisted, long-legged, and curvaceous Sarkaz, Sakota, Dulin, Anasa, and Oni beauties... can sever ties with what you did when you were a Tikkaz?

As for Chen Lingxu, the Primordial Celestial Venerable who once ruled over the two peoples, I used to ignore the beasts, but now I am happy to offer myself to the beauties that are everywhere.

After being awakened by a green lynx, Chen Lingxu looked at himself in the mirror and was shocked:

"Has wine and women made me so haggard? From today onwards, I will abstain from alcohol!"

He then spoke to the lynx:

"Please rest assured, AMA-10, we are actively interrogating the alien female spy today as well!"

Summary:

　Volume 1: We Reunited Yesterday

　Chapter One: Zootopia, Not Animals

　[...Data loading]

　[Current Status: Oviparous, Beast-like]

　[Search milestone: Navigating the stars... Data retrieval... Data retrieval... Completed. Awards will be presented shortly...]

　[Searching for the next stage objective... Determining... Determining complete, new stage objective: Survival.]

　[Objective Description: In a completely realistic scenario, an organism cannot survive indefinitely. Fight with everything you have, just to survive.]

　A gust of wind blew through the gaps in the woods, accompanied by the sound of eggshells cracking. A stream of sticky egg liquid dripped down the cracks and onto the ground, and a white, fleshy lump fell from the broken egg, splashing up a ring of dirt.

　"who I am……"

　"where am I……"

　"What am I going to do..."

　After the three questions about life flashed through my mind one after another, they were answered one after another.

　"I am... Chen Guangwen... no, no, I am Chen Lingxu..."

　The little beast struggled to its feet, shook off the slime, and slowly opened its eyes, revealing its dark sclera. After a breath, it was as if the sun had risen in the night, a golden sun shining brightly in the darkness.

　"I am a Qilin... This is... a jungle."

　His thoughts gradually cleared, and his body quickly recovered from the period of weakness, but he still found it difficult to adapt to the state of crawling on all fours.

　"Tsk. From two feet to four claws... from human to beast..."

　He blinked, and the data appeared.

　"The system... the UI is so rudimentary. If you used this as an ad, no one would click on it..."

　After a period of adjustment, Chen Lingxu was aware of his current state.

　In his previous life, after marveling at the crushing power of the 100-ton king while scrolling through his phone on the street, he successfully experienced what flat management meant.

　In this life, he will take back everything he has lost... but after thinking about the scale of the Hundred-Ton King, he hesitated and decided to deal with it another day.

　Chen Lingxu let out a long sigh. Fortunately, he died from the shockwave of the Hundred-Ton King, his phone shattering along with it. "I fear not being shattered to pieces, as long as my innocence remains in the world."

　"Since things have come to this, let's eat first... No, there's no food. And I'm not hungry at all... Wait, I remember..."

　【Divine Master: Chen Lingxu】

　[Status: Qilin & Juvenile, Beast Form. (In the beginning of chaos, heaven and earth nurtured all things, and among the beasts, the Qilin was the leader.)]

　[Ability: Twelve Earthly Branches (Talisman Type)]

　[Interim goals; continued existence]

　He quickly brought up the system interface, and after carefully examining it, Chen Lingxu excitedly let out a loud cry. His childish cry sounded like the gentle call of a deer. Fortunately, there were no wild animals around, otherwise it would have been troublesome if they had been attracted to it.

　Although I don't know why the interim goal, namely the "Sailing to the Stars" task on the taskbar, is shown as completed, whether it's a system bug or some other unknown reason, as long as it gives rewards, it's a good system.

　Moreover, although the system used very formal language, after seeing the "[talisman type]" label, Chen Lingxu knew exactly what the so-called Twelve Zodiac Animals were.

　"No wonder I was born with strong limbs and never felt hungry or thirsty. I thought it was my innate skill as a mythical Qilin. Turns out I was just cheating."

　Chen Lingxu turned his head to look at the surrounding trees and began to think of a way to use the power of the twelve talismans.

　"Dragon Blast!"

　As he opened his mouth, his throat burned as if he had eaten a ghost pepper. But the huge tree in front of Chen Lingxu, which was large enough for three people to hug, had been blasted with a gap the size of a millstone. The old tree had suffered this calamity for no reason and creaked and fell down with great resentment.

　"Alright, alright. Now I can finally relax. In my past life I was a beast of burden, in this life I'm determined to reclaim all the happiness I lost. I'll just eat and sleep all day long..."

　After testing the abilities of other talismans, the Qilin cub, which was less than an hour old, lay down on its back with its four paws in the air, ready to enjoy its new life.

　"This wind, how fresh it is. This forest, how peaceful it is, this sky..."

　A strange sound, like the bellow of a bull, rang out in the sky, instantly dispelling Chen Lingxu's relaxed and cheerful mood.

　A fierce wind howled, causing the branches and leaves of countless trees to tremble violently. Terrifying shadows blocked out the sunlight, even obscuring the sky through the gaps in the trees.

　A dragon, a giant dragon tens of meters long, snaked across the top of this forest.

　Looking down, the Qilin cub, whose tail had just been stiff, was now as soft as a puddle of mud.

　The wild animals seen in videos have a completely different temperament from those seen in physical zoos. Similarly, the wildness of animals kept in zoos cannot be compared to that of wild beasts that have truly emerged from the jungle, claw by claw.

　But if it were just wild beasts, Chen Lingxu wouldn't have to worry at all; he wouldn't be afraid even if a blue whale charged at him. But when mythical creatures appear in the animal world, everything becomes unpredictable.

　The dragon merely flew over here, bringing with it a downpour that covered the entire area.

　The cool rain fell on my body, drying the egg yolk from the Qilin...

　The wash cleaned the cub's scales, but also wet his dusty mane.

　Looking up at the sky, Chen Lingxu focused on his current goal—[survival].

　No wonder there's such a mission. A little brat like him, if he were to encounter a dragon like that head-on, he wouldn't die, but all he could do would be run away. When faced with danger, a warrior's priority should be survival.

　"Sigh... I thought I was unique... Couldn't you just let me be happy for a little while longer?"

　The rain quickly subsided, and the little Qilin shook its head, got up from the ground, and clumsily began to learn how to walk and run on its four paws.

　Since I discovered right at the start that I was playing on hard mode instead of easy mode, I need to work even harder. And with dragons appearing, and him being a Qilin, who knows what kind of cultivation world this might be?

　He'll become an immortal and a patriarch, leisurely cultivating with a few fairies every day.

　"The monkey talisman can change my appearance, turning me into a tiger or lion, but as soon as I turn back into a Qilin, I'm still just a cub that struggles to even climb a tree. If I want to stop eating dragon meat, my original form needs to grow to adulthood and become stronger."

　No matter how powerful the twelve talismans are, their effectiveness is still based on the original body. Chen Lingxu is just a newborn cub right now. He can't even compare to the fully-formed Holy Lord, let alone the little demon dragon...

　"I'm not your average Qilin, I'm the kind of Qilin who's going to woo fairies and build a harem, so I need to keep my spirits up and not lose points."

　Whether it was Chen Lingxu's strong learning ability or his inherent high quality as a Qilin, within four or five minutes, Chen Lingxu had already gone from taking his first unsteady steps to running freely.

　Sharpening claws, picking teeth, strengthening muscles and bones...

　Predation, fighting, pairing up and killing...

　We traversed woodlands, crossed hills, and climbed mountains...

　He wants to climb to the top step by step!

　--

　A herd of sika deer were drinking water by the stream, looking quite content. This was because the herd had many sentinel deer scattered throughout the woodland, and if any danger was encountered, the sentinels would call out to alert the entire herd.

　If it were just a lone beast, they wouldn't be afraid at all, simply because... they have a powerful leader. A stag with antlers whose hooves can shatter a granite block.

　The stag with antlers like a crown strolled among the herd, as proud as a king surveying his territory.

　The wind is still howling today.

　The stag leader couldn't help but recall the glorious moment when he had last gored the alpha wolf to death with a single antler, right under the watchful eyes of the herd.

　From that moment on, it became the leader of the herd, thus gaining access to the first sip of tender grass, the first sip of stream water, and even all the female fawns in the herd...

　These days will continue for much longer, until...

　Until it dies in the mouth of a stronger predator.

　A shadow suddenly appeared, and the sentinel deer seemed to freeze, offering no response to the alarm. The incredibly strong stag leader, the king of the herd, died instantly under the claws of the powerful predator that appeared in an instant. Its prized antlers, like a lump of bloated mud, were casually sliced ​​off by the predator's sharp claws; its strong hooves were chewed up like ice by the predator's powerful teeth; and its steaming entrails and flesh were roasted to a crisp by the flames the predator exhaled.

　Then the overlord began to feast, while the deer remained motionless, trembling. Was it because these deer were too dull-witted?

　No, it was simply because the deer's legs trembled and went weak from the aura emanating from the overlord, and not a single deer had the strength to escape.

　Then look at that carnivorous overlord, its scales are as white as ice and snow, its black mane flows in the wind, its claws are like steel knives and its tail is like an iron whip, and it can climb mountains and traverse forests in the blink of an eye.

　A male deer weighing several hundred pounds was devoured in an instant by a much larger overlord, who was like a small snack. And when the overlord simply looked up, the sight of his towering figure in the night sky and the way he moved made the deer herd even more awe-inspiring.

　"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

　A soft squeak rang out from the shadows of the overlord. A deer lowered its head and discovered that a white-furred mouse, about the size of a lamb, had darted out from the overlord's shadow. The words were coming from the mouse's 'mouth'.

　"Wait, little mouse!"

　The rat crawled on all fours, glanced at the half-eaten stag carcass, and quickly followed the tall, strong, and undeniably handsome carnivorous overlord.

　The overlord glanced at it, and the mouse stopped in its tracks, trembling and squeaking.

　"Get out of my way! What kind of status do you have that you dare to drink from the same river as me?"

　With a single swipe of its paw, the sturdy unicorn swatted away the deer blocking the stream's edge and lowered its head to drink from the water.

　Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

　Through his own hard work and sweat, Chen Lingxu dominated the five-hundred-mile hunting grounds within five years of his birth. He also transformed from a delicate Qilin who initially found it difficult to eat a bunch of bloodthirsty fresh meat into a carnivorous overlord who ate without any restraint.

　Last month, he encountered this small but human-shaped rat spirit. If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't say "yes," Chen Lingxu would have thought he had entered some strange place.

　As the saying goes, humans have human language and beasts have animal language. Chen Lingxu discovered that he could use the "power of myriad transformations" of the monkey talisman to understand the other party's "language".

　But this rat spirit could only 'talk'; it possessed no magical power whatsoever and didn't seem like a rat with any significant cultivation. This rat spirit, who called itself Rat Santong, upon seeing his...

　Upon seeing the true form, it immediately prostrated itself and shouted "Your Majesty!" as if it wanted to lick its paws. Judging from its appearance, it was probably a field mouse that had become a spirit.

　After Chen Lingxu questioned him, Shu Santong told him everything he knew, like spilling beans.

　"The little mouse was the third son of the patriarch of the thirty-third clan of the Hundred Clan of the Misty Ridge Mountain. His family was happy and reunited, with no worries about food or clothing. It was only because the Flood Dragon Demon King was cruel and limitless that he forced his family to donate their lives to the battlefield to fight the Dragon King. My father refused to comply and was tortured to death. My mother was captured by the Flood Dragon Demon King and tortured a thousand times over!"

　Although there are some differences between this version and Shu Santong's own account, Chen Lingxu felt that his version flowed better.

　However, Chen Lingxu had roamed this 500-mile hunting ground for five years and had never heard of any Jiao Demon King or the Hundred Rat Clan, let alone the Misty Ridge Mountains. The only mythical creature he had ever seen was the giant dragon that passed through this area when he was just born. Perhaps that was the so-called Dragon King?

　Chen Lingxu is now three meters tall and more than ten meters long from head to tail. His size far surpasses that of other wild beasts in the forest. Although he doesn't know how strong he is, Chen Lingxu is confident that if that dragon appears again, he will definitely pluck it down from the sky, skin it, and taste its liver.

　So, after years of loneliness, upon hearing such an interesting tale, he decided to have Rat Santong lead the way to see the so-called Flood Dragon Demon King. And that stag was also the last meal he ate in this five-hundred-mile hunting ground.

　"YoYo……"

　As the overlord was about to depart, the deer herd should have settled down. However, after the first deer took a step and followed, the other deer instinctively began to follow as well. This herd of over thirty deer spontaneously became followers of the Qilin.

　"Huh? Why are these things following me?"

　Chen Lingxu turned around and saw the herd of deer following him closely.

　He had been here for five years, moving in and out of the lair with the speed of the wind. When his energy was plentiful, he diligently trained and honed his claws and teeth. Only when he was hungry would he rely on the invisibility of the snake charm to sneak out for a meal. After ambushing and killing his prey, he would bring it back to the lair and slowly roast it for his enjoyment. In battles with other carnivorous beasts, he would use the speed of a rabbit combined with the strength of a bull to instantly kill them, giving them no chance to react. No one was more cunning than him.

　Now, having made his first appearance before the beasts as a keepsake, he inexplicably finds these clumsy deer following behind him... Could it be because his race is the Qilin?

　Chen Lingxu recalled the description of the Qilin.

　Among the beasts, the Qilin is considered the leader.

　Could it be referring to the current situation?

　When the rat Santong saw him, he bowed, and when asked anything, all he received were words like, "Your Majesty's divine might is unparalleled; this little rat is willing to serve Your Majesty." Now, even though he had killed the leader of the deer herd, these deer not only didn't flee, but instead followed him everywhere he went…

　"Your Majesty, they say that Your Majesty is incomparably powerful and they want to follow you. They beg Your Majesty to protect them."

　Upon hearing the calls of the deer, Shu Santong spoke to Chen Lingxu with a fawning tone that came out spontaneously without any training.

　"Oh? Then I'll be eating meat at every meal."

　"Your Majesty, they say they are willing to sacrifice themselves in exchange for Your Majesty's protection, only asking that Your Majesty eat more at each meal and not eat deer at every meal."
