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

　"Where can I find brave warriors to guard the four directions!"

　Fight for supremacy! Fight for supremacy!

　--

　Over ten years?

　Is it less time or more time?

　Amidst the roars of ten thousand beasts, Chen Lingxu moved with the speed of a mountain, his hand pressing down like a tidal wave, knocking the two-winged, four-legged dragon off the cliff, scattering the golden blood of the heavenly horse across the grassland, dimming the majestic lion's brilliance, and catching the giant whale in the great lake to share as meat.

　Amidst the watchful eyes of all beasts, the Qilin Overlord once again subdued the infamous ferocious beast, causing countless wild animals to bow down in submission.

　In the legends of all beasts, the Primordial Celestial Venerable is the only emperor and the only sovereign in the world.

　After subduing the last evil lord of the land, reaching the ends of the earth, and even conquering the ocean, the Qilin Overlord's conquest finally came to an end.

　After the struggle for supremacy, the Qilin Overlord redistributed the land, enfeoffing various royal families and ordering all counties and kingdoms to live according to his rules.

　They dug rocks from the mountains to build high walls, dug canals to transport materials, and searched for plants to cultivate...

　This also led to the creation of social classes, with wild beasts as the forefathers and strange beasts as the divine people. The forefathers supported the divine people, and the divine people protected the forefathers.

　In addition, the herds still prey on each other to maintain the natural order. However, this order is not the same as before; herbivores can eat cultivated crops, and carnivores can eat sick or weak herbivores.

　The Primordial Celestial Venerable further unified languages ​​and created writing so that the beast people could "not distinguish one from another"; he also created a calendar and observed time so that the beast people could "divide the past and the future".

　Thus, all the beasts revered his new title, "The Benevolent Dark Emperor," and collectively called him "The Benevolent Dark Emperor, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable."

　From then on, this land enjoyed a long period of peace and prosperity.

　Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chen Lingxu will likely continue playing the game of domination until he gets tired of it.

　"..."

　Within a stone city spanning a hundred miles of plains, countless beast kings, as usual, came to pay homage to the Primordial Celestial Venerable to discuss plans for the next ten years.

　A hundred birds sing in unison, and ten thousand beasts roar with awe.

　A brightly colored bird flew into the palace through a skylight in the high wall and landed on the throne.

　"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The beasts have all arrived."

　It chattered away, reporting the situation.

　"Um……"

　Sitting on the throne, propping his head up with one hand, Chen Lingxu, who had acquired titles such as Benevolent Dark Emperor, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, White Scale Beast King, and Invincible Overlord, raised his hand, revealing his sharp yet somewhat weary eyes behind his mask-like bone armor.

　After experiencing the thrill of conquering, fighting, and ruling, Chen Lingxu grew somewhat weary.

　No matter how powerful he is, or how many beastmen he rules over, he is still just a beast king.

　He didn't even have a partner... Even though he had seen the native Qilin and countless female beasts, he found it difficult to feel any lust for them. At most, he liked these beautiful wild animals like pets.

　This wretched world doesn't even have a single real woman! What kind of insane Zootopia is this?

　"It's time to speak"

　He told the little animals what he had said.

　As Chen Lingxu thought about it, he stood at the highest point in the entire city, and even just standing on the high platform drew howls and cheers from all the beasts.

　Just as Chen Lingxu was about to give his speech, his gaze sweeping over the beastmen he had seen countless times, the world suddenly changed.

　Was it an earthquake?!

　The gods and evil lords that Chen Lingxu had seen had countless tricks up their sleeves, including mythical creatures that could stir up storms and cause the earth to crack, but none of them could compare to the scale of this event.

　The whole world... the entire universe was shaking.

　The stone city collapsed, and the beastmen were terrified...

　To Chen Lingxu's astonishment, the sky, which had undergone countless transformations... cracked open.

　Gonggong, in his rage, struck Mount Buzhou, causing the pillar of heaven to break and the earth's axis to sever...

　Such a thought popped into Chen Lingxu's mind.

　But... there's no Nuwa here... who will mend the sky?

　But what's even more terrifying is that beyond that collapsed canopy, there is still another canopy...

　After the sunlight fades, even brighter sunlight appears... the real sunlight...

　A fierce wind surged in, and after another heavy impact, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in completely. Then, Chen Lingxu saw the bright sun.

　All the surviving beastmen saw the sunlight from the new world.

　After many years, Chen Lingxu once again summoned his rudimentary system.

　[Interim Goal: Sailing Towards the Stars (Completed)]

　[Interim Goal: Survival (Completed), Rewards to be Distributed Soon.]

　[Searching for new targets... Determining... Determining complete. New interim target: New World]

　[Objective Description: Behold, they are standing at the door knocking on me; if I hear their voices, I will open the door and let them come in, and I will sit at the table with them, and they with me.]

　"damn it!"

　This is not a bug at all!

　Chen Lingxu finally understood!

　He has always been sailing among the stars!

　He has always stayed in a super-giant colony ship capable of interstellar travel.

　The fighting spirit of the Qilin Overlord, which had been worn down by the daily grind, quickly rose again, and countless birds flew as messengers to other cities.

　Millions of beastmen will obey the command of the 'Primordial Celestial Lord' and take the first step in their conquest of the new world.

　Chapter Two: Which Terran are you from?

　The black beast held its prey's throat tightly until it stopped struggling and slumped limply in its mouth.

　Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the wilderness. It was an unfamiliar creature, its mane gleaming in the sunlight, its sharp teeth and claws displaying its power.

　What exactly is that?

　The black beast put down its prey and stared intently at its prey. Then…

　It lunged forward.

　Fight!

　The roar echoed across the wilderness, surging in all directions as the wind swept through.

　The golden beast did not come alone; behind it were countless other beasts.

　The black beast's throat was ripped open, and its boiling blood splattered onto the ground.

　"Damn it! It attacked out of nowhere."

　As the vanguard of the beastmen who arrived here, General Lion tore the black beast's head off its corpse, and the remaining beastmen immediately dismembered it.

　"General, what should we do next?"

　The beastmen applied chewed herbs to the blood-stained lion and inquired about their next plans.

　"The Emperor ordered us to search for intelligent life in this land. Now that we have found it, we will bring it back."

　The beastmen have been here for many years. A new city stands in the wilderness, a vast and expansive land far larger than that within the colony ship. The abundance of food and minerals has allowed the beastmen to multiply rapidly. After establishing the first stable city-state and base, the Primordial Celestial Lord ordered the city lords to begin their expansion, with the aim of finding local intelligent beings.

　The beastmen, too, harbored enthusiasm and curiosity for this unfamiliar world. Driven by the promise of being granted land and titles of kings, boundless wealth, and imperial decrees, countless beastmen spontaneously expanded into the surrounding lands.

　But this land was too vast, and even after years of tireless searching, no beast tribe had discovered any trace of civilization.

　But things are different now.

　Before the battle, General Lion noticed the leather clothing worn by the black beast. This indicated that the black beast possessed a degree of intelligence.

　It shook its head, its golden mane fluttering in the wind, and on the lion's head wore a helmet that reflected the metallic luster.

　Looking at the hundreds of beastmen behind him, all of them wore such metallic ornaments, which were the equipment they received as warriors. The lion general's helmet was the one that the great Primordial Celestial Lord had personally placed on his head when he accepted the mission. He regarded this as the greatest honor in his beastly life.

　"Keep its head safe, leave a mark here, and we will return to the capital."

　Six years have passed since the expedition began. General Lion misses his children and people, and hopes that his achievements on this journey will be rewarded by the great emperor.

　The capital of the Beast Kingdom, a completely newly built

　The city of chalk stands tall, inhabited by countless beastmen.

　Walking down the street, you can see all kinds of beastmen and even businesses.

　Since most beastmen only have hooves and claws and cannot grasp, those beastmen who evolve unexpectedly quickly and can provide assistance, and who have humanoid forms, become the most popular servants and helpers, with rats being the most numerous.

　This employment relationship quickly fostered trade, and the abundance of resources that arrived in this new land further fueled its development.

　"Oh? Gawain's expedition has returned?"

　Inside the royal palace, Chen Lingxu was feeding pigeons with corn kernels when he suddenly received news that delighted him.

　The Lion General, whom he named Gawain, returned in triumph carrying the head of a foreign race.

　“Great Primordial Celestial Venerable, we have arrived at a desolate black earth and discovered this alien race. But before we could communicate with them, they attacked us.”

　Traveling day and night, Gawain the Lion even hired a red dragon named Drakk, who worked part-time transporting gems, to take him and several personal guards back to the capital ahead of time. All this was so he could deliver the news to Primordial Lord as soon as possible.

　Pushing the basket containing the enormous head forward, Gawain the Lion prostrated himself on the ground and reported the situation to Chen Lingxu.

　"Is he an incommunicable humanoid alien? Does he exhibit any language or similar abilities?"

　“Gawain did not see this alien race make any verbal statements, Your Majesty.”

　Chen Lingxu approached the lion and looked at the head in the basket.

　"You guys are eating way too much."

　The flesh of the head in the basket was gone, and most of the skull was exposed. It was only because there were no flies here that a swarm of flies buzzed around it, which was both unsightly and noisy.

　"No, Heavenly Venerable, that's what he looks like."

　Gao Wen quickly explained. He initially thought he had just rubbed the other person's head bald because his teeth were too good, but upon closer inspection, he realized that this was how things actually looked. The thought of a head without any skin or flesh made his brain feel cold.

　"Hmm? That's really ugly. Maybe these alien races attack because their skulls are exposed and the wind damages their brains."

　After thinking for a moment, Chen Lingxu took a piece of scraped animal skin paper and used a quill pen dipped in ink to draw a picture of such a foreign race.

　With nothing else to do and not wanting to be a pet lover, he could only cultivate other hobbies.

　"Make a copy of this map and send it to the other city lords and beast kings, so that all beastmen are wary of this highly aggressive alien race. At the same time, have them record the characteristics of other alien races and convey them to other clans in the same way."

　Chen Lingxu praised Lion Gaowen a few more times, rewarded him with a magical half-body rune armor that he had just created in his spare time, and then sent him home to see his wife and children.

　"Indeed, if this world were not suitable for intelligent life, there would be no need for this colony ship to come here."

　After landing, Chen Lingxu established a new capital city based on the wreckage of the colony ship, which was as large as a mountain. While the beastmen multiplied and expanded, he also arranged for them to explore other areas of the colony ship.

　He didn't believe that such a large colony ship was only inhabited by beastmen.

　But the result was a huge disappointment. After several years of exploration, the colony ship was completely deserted. All he found were machines whose uses he knew but whose principles and operating methods he couldn't understand, such as mass cloning chambers, plant cultivation chambers, and super-large air purifiers.

　Perhaps the ship was controlled by some kind of intelligent AI, but during the long voyage, the AI ​​malfunctioned and broke down, causing it to be unable to land properly upon reaching the target planet. As a result, the ship was captured by the planet's gravity and forced to crash down. Because he was born in space, his first mission to the stars was already completed at the start. The system's "survival" mission for him was to survive the cataclysmic disaster that occurred during the ship's forced landing.

　Based on these calculations, Chen Lingxu turned his attention to his mission.

　The mission to explore a new world, and what seems to be a mission to get him to interact with the local natives.

　Although they encountered highly aggressive natives this time, the fact that they already had animal skin clothing meant that these natives had at least entered a primitive society, or even a slave society, and that there must be individuals who could communicate with them.

　"Since there are humanoid monsters, maybe there are real beauties among them?"

　Chen Lingxu didn't care about whether the women were beautiful or not. Lately, he found some white-haired female rats rather pleasing to the eye. He really didn't want to drown in the vortex of animal control.

　I hope that day will come soon.

　-

　"Great Primordial Celestial Venerable! The forty-ninth clan of the Tiger Clan was attacked by a strange alien race in the wilderness, and all two thousand beastmen died. Their blood was drained, and their bodies were left to rot on the trees."

　"Reporting to the Primordial Celestial! The divine people's army led by the Beast King Atrias of Drak has been attacked by strange alien races. Those bird-headed aliens have torn the heads off the two-legged wyvern warriors and devoured their souls!"

　"We beseech the Primordial Celestial Lord to command the Fire-Controlling Demon to slaughter countless beastmen..."

　One after another, messenger birds delivered parchment filled with accounts of the evil deeds of foreign races to Chen Lingxu.
