The male Zerg association had been burned to the ground, reduced to ruins.

Disguised Lin Hanchuan and Lin Jian Shen stood at the entrance of the male Zerg association, feeling mixed emotions.

Seeing the downfall of the male Zerg association with his spiritual powers was different from witnessing it with his own eyes.

Lin Hanchuan still remembered how Little Du Lu grew up in the male Zerg association. He was the cutest among all the male Zergs and possessed the greatest spiritual potential. Naturally, he was adored by all the Zergs, both male and female.

This place where he had once lived and left behind many happy moments collapsed completely after standing for hundreds of years, just like the position of the male Zergs.

Lin Jianshen looked at Lin Hanchuan with concern and tentatively patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him with his eyes.

“Let’s go,” Lin Hanchuan withdrew his gaze, leaving behind the wreckage of the male Zerg association and putting aside the once-high position of the male Zergs. He headed towards the Imperial Library, not far from the ruins of the association, “We have a lot of things to do.”

When the president of the male Zerg association died, he left behind residual spiritual power for Lin Hanchuan to access the library.

Lin Hanchuan had a hunch that the reason for the severe confrontation between the male and female Zergs might be found in the library.

Lin Jianshen followed closely, as if he would always stay by Lin Hanchuan’s side no matter where he went.

The Zerg race did not rely much on physical books; most of their information was stored in the network. The library was seldom visited, and when Lin Hanchuan and Lin Jianshen walked in, the whole place was so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

Upon a glance, Lin Hanchuan noticed a few paper books placed in glass cabinets. These books could only be obtained by scanning one’s identity ID, and they couldn’t be taken out of the library building.

Apart from books, there were also some small square holes on the walls, most of them containing various strange items.

This was a unique inheritance of the Zerg race. If a Zerg wanted to leave something for their descendants, they would place the items in the library, passing them down through generations.

With so many inheritances, it would take who knows how long to look through them all. Lin Hanchuan pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, and spread his spiritual power.

Like a mist, his spiritual power was even more potent than the naked eye, gently passing through and examining everything in the library.

Lin Hanchuan noticed that among these lifeless objects with no movement, there was one item covered with a faint white mist, as if silently guarding something.

Opening his eyes, Lin Hanchuan walked towards the only item that showed spiritual fluctuations.

Before Lin Hanchuan could touch the object, Lin Jianshen stepped forward, half alert and half protective, blocking Lin Hanchuan behind him. He observed how to bypass the library’s alarm system and retrieve the item.

“It’s okay, let me handle it,” Lin Hanchuan smiled and said, while secretly prompting the system.

001 acted in sync and blocked the alarm system, saying, [“Chuanchuan, it’s done!”]

[“Really impressive,”] Lin Hanchuan sincerely praised the accomplished 001. Then, he picked up the small box and instinctively sent his spiritual power into it to investigate.

The moment his spiritual power entered, everything went black before Lin Hanchuan’s eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the president of the male Zerg association, who was supposed to be dead.

However, upon closer inspection, Lin Hanchuan realized that this ‘president’ was merely a spiritual projection. His face was handsome and exquisite, and his mouth did not move, yet his voice directly echoed in Lin Hanchuan’s mind.

The history of the male Zergs began to unfold slowly before Lin Hanchuan’s eyes.

The evolution of a race takes at least tens of thousands of years. Several tens of thousands of years ago, various forms of life were bred by the ancient mother star. As one of the life forms flew into space, it carried the seeds of all life to other planets, awakening the once-lifeless universe.

At that time, the male Zergs were at the bottom of all life forms, weak and lacking intelligence. It wasn’t until they were unintentionally brought to other planets that they began their rapid evolution into a world without any natural enemies.

The characteristics that made female Zergs more powerful were further strengthened, surpassing male Zergs by a significant margin. They were fierce, cruel, and emotionless. In order to reproduce, they would consume the males after mating, and for survival, they would even devour their own offspring.

After the initial chaos, the intelligent Zerg race realized that the number of male Zergs was far less than that of females, posing a problem for the continuation of their species.

From that time on, male Zergs gradually became the protected role.

Perhaps for the sake of balance, while female Zergs were formidable, their genes seemed inherently violent, leading to frequent instances of self-destructive behavior. Their lifespans were also much shorter than those of male Zergs, and as they aged, they were more prone to mental breakdowns and death.

It was only later discovered by female Zergs that mating with male Zergs could slow down the rate of mental breakdown…

Male and female Zergs, the miracle of life, one strong and the other fragile, one in need of spiritual comfort and the other requiring protection through force. They were like a pair of separated halves, only when united were they perfect and complete.

However, female Zergs began to ruthlessly exploit male Zergs, leading to the latter’s resistance. Thus began a tug-of-war lasting nearly ten thousand years.

During this period, female Zergs often dominated, with male Zergs only occasionally achieving victory, but they would soon be overthrown by the females—just like the current situation.

One of the Zerg emperors realized that rather than using forceful repression, elevating the male Zergs to a higher status seemed to be the best way to appease them.

Since then, male Zergs became esteemed sons, and all Zergs were educated to treat male Zergs as delicate, fragile beings not meant to do anything or be burdened with any tasks. They were only required to lie in bed, and numerous female Zergs would be at their service, providing them with everything they needed.

So, male Zergs truly became delicate, fragile, and vulnerable sons.

Listening to the narration of the projection of the male Zerg association’s leader, Lin Hanchuan sighed softly: [“Candy is more effective than the big stick, and it seems the same with Zergs.”]

The Zerg race didn’t care much about history, and these past events were rarely known. Even the leader of the male Zerg association learned the truth through a fortuitous encounter.

However, at this moment, male Zergs had already become imprisoned creatures in a dark room. The association leader himself didn’t know whether he should awaken them or maintain peace by pretending that nothing had happened.

In his dilemma, he left behind this heritage, planning to pass it on to the next leader of the male Zerg association when the time came and he had passed away.

But he didn’t expect peace to end so suddenly, nor did he expect to depart so abruptly.

Watching the projection of the male Zerg association leader dissipate into the air, Lin Hanchuan fell silent for a moment, and the scene before him gradually faded, leaving only the cold walls of the library.

[“Chuanchuan, are you okay?”] 001 called out anxiously in his mind, [“You suddenly lost consciousness just now, and it scared me! What happened?”]

Lin Jianshen was also taken aback, half embracing Lin Hanchuan with a worried expression in his eyes.

“I’m fine,” Lin Hanchuan rubbed his forehead and tightened his grip on the heritage left by the leader of the male Zerg association. He straightened his body and said, “He… left me a method to train the mental power of male Zergs.”

Besides the history of male Zergs, the leader of the male Zerg association had also found an ancient method to train mental power that had been lost for a long time.

Originally, he had planned to practice it himself for some time and ensure it was safe for the body before finding a suitable opportunity to reveal it to the public. But now…

“Don’t worry,” Lin Hanchuan still felt heavy-hearted, but seeing Lin Jianshen’s expression, he couldn’t help but smile. He gently patted Lin Jianshen’s head, soothingly saying, “The association leader won’t harm me. It’s just that I wasn’t well-prepared.”

Seeing that Lin Hanchuan’s physical and mental state showed no abnormality, Lin Jianshen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head meekly and nudged Lin Hanchuan’s palm.

At that moment, 001 couldn’t help but snicker in the mind: [“He really acts like a dog.”]

Lin Hanchuan knew that 001 didn’t mean any harm, but he still furrowed his brows slightly and said, [“001, he is a person. You can’t describe him like that. In human language, that’s not a nice thing to say.”]

[“I don’t like you using that kind of language to describe him either,”] 001 replied.

It was the first time 001 had been scolded so sternly by its host, and it felt a little aggrieved. [“Fine, I won’t say it anymore,”] it said before diving back into Lin Hanchuan’s mind, vowing not to come out no matter what Lin Hanchuan said.

Lin Jianshen didn’t know what had happened, so he just focused on watching Lin Hanchuan, his eyes clear and bright, filled with nothing but the image of Lin Hanchuan.

Adorable. Lin Hanchuan couldn’t resist himself and gently ruffled Lin Jianshen’s hair again.

Outside, the newly appointed Zerg emperor, Mo’er, continued to keep the entire Zerg capital locked down. Countless military females patrolled the streets, and the whole capital was filled with an impending sense of doom.

In the emperor’s palace, Mo’er did not reside in the main hall, but rather in a secondary hall.

With so many people coming and going, the small secondary hall could barely accommodate them all. However, every Zerg tried to remain quiet and not make any noise. It felt like there was a tightly stretched string in the air, and the slightest disturbance would cost someone their life.

Xue Lai stopped moving and sat rigidly on the side. His forehead and back were covered in cold sweat, and he couldn’t even maintain the gentle smile that had once driven the females crazy.

“Your Highness, all the passages in and out of the capital have been closed. The Zergs that left before have all been investigated, but there’s no trace of the Empress,” said the military female in a low voice, not daring to lift his head. His voice was dry and tense as he continued, “Currently, it seems that the Empress is still in the capital. As long as we keep searching, we’ll find him within three days.”

“Worthless,” Mo’er leaned back on the sofa, his expression calm, but his crimson eyes were filled with intense killing intent. “He’s just a male Zerg, and you all are a bunch of worthless fools!”

Females had always been ruthless, especially military females, and Mo’er was the strongest among them. In a fit of rage, he could even strangle all the Zergs present.

“We will gather all the male Zergs in the capital immediately! We will definitely find the Empress then!”

As Mo’er spoke, faint Zerg patterns appeared on his face. The military female speaking felt a tightness in his heart, knowing that the Emperor’s emotions were about to erupt again. He felt bitter in his heart: It seems that I’ll have to settle my debts here today. I worked so hard to acquire those male Zergs, and they haven’t even had a chance to enjoy themselves.

Expecting imminent death, the military female waited for what seemed like an eternity, but death never came. When he cautiously raised her eyes, he was stunned.

Everyone knew that Du Lu was the youngest, most handsome, and possessed the strongest mental power among the male Zergs in the Zerg race. When he came of age, senior females lined up to show interest in him. They didn’t seek to become his spouse, being a female servant would be good enough.

But who would have thought that Mo’er took the initiative, and after that, no other female had a chance.

The military female knew that he was not qualified to interact with such a high-level male Zerg, but he had seen that beautiful young male Zerg a few times. Every time the young male Zerg passed by him, he would take deep breaths, trying to catch a hint of the male Zerg’s pheromones in the air.

He never expected that the proud and resolute anti-male Zerg fighter, the newly crowned Emperor, would now act just like him, greedily sniffing the things the male Zergs had used.

As if he had discovered something extraordinary, the military female quickly lowered his head.

After some time, Mo’er set down the small yellow blanket in his hand, carefully folding it, and draped it over his legs. He said, “Get lost.”

The military female gratefully left as if he had been granted amnesty.

As he walked away, the military female couldn’t help but look back. Many people were coming and going around the Emperor. His hand casually rested on the small blanket, seeming nonchalant, yet also as if he was holding on to a precious treasure he couldn’t afford to lose.

It was then that the military female remembered: this secondary hall was apparently the place where that high-level male Zerg had once resided.
