nThe humans couldn’t so easily accept an alien suddenly jumping out to proclaim things like that they were a peaceful race.

nHowever, Shi Qing had his overwhelming robotic army to back up his words.

nThey were the ones that sent the Insects packing.

nYin Mingzheng announced the alliance between humanity and the Mechanical race. He then led the ability users and androids into the battlefield together to deal a finishing blow to the fleeing Insects.

nThe battle that the Mechanical race took part in was permanently etched into the minds of mankind.

nOn that day, the Mechanical-Human union ‘negotiated’ an armistice with the Insects.

nThe Insects had no real say in the matter because they had been thoroughly disciplined beforehand.

nIn the end, they signed the treaty.

nThe Insect race would never again invade other planets for as long as they lived.

nNot only would they not be invaders, they must also learn from the Mechanical race and fly across the universe fighting against the forces of evil wherever they went.

nThe representatives that were involuntarily elected stood trembling in front of the negotiation table filled with the flames of war. They shot nervous glances at the real force of evil (Shi Qing) as they stuttered through the terms of the treaty: “The Insects will become a, a peaceful race. Just like the Mechanical race……”

n“We will for-forever safeguard the peace of the universe!”

nAfter reading it through, he shivered and signed the paper, trembling the entire time.

n“The, the above contents will forever be engraved in the inherited memories of our race ji…….”

n“Great.”

nAt that time, Shi Qing leaned bonelessly against Yin Mingzheng with a face full of satisfaction: “The Insects can be reasonable after all.”

nThe Insects nodded their heads off like chickens while sweating profusely as they looked at the androids covering the sky: “Yes! Of course!”

nMost of the Insects were driven off Earth, and the rest were apprehended and sentenced to hard labour. According to the contract, it would be ten years before they could return to their homes.

nWhen the Insects’ spaceships fled from Earth, those that were left behind fell into despair. They collapsed to the ground and sobbed as they contemplated the hold the Mechanical race had over them.

nThey couldn’t help but expect the worst. Passing on and remembering knowledge was an integral way of life for the Insects. The Mechanical race was like a boogeyman to them, so they couldn’t relax for even a single waking moment with them nearby. They desperately wanted to cut off all their limbs every time they met with one.

nThis was no way to live!!!

nThe departing Insects couldn’t care less about these comrades of theirs. Ten years was only the blink of an eye to Insects anyways. It would be better if they focused on their own escape.

nAfter arriving home, they immediately gathered their forces into their best space faring vessels and……

n–Left to save other planets in distress.

nEven if they didn’t want to follow the orders given by the Mechanical King, they had to get it done.

nThinking about how Shi Qing told them that the Mechanical race would supervise them for generations to come……

nPeace!!

nThey must strive for peace!!

nIf they’re not peaceful enough, they’re going to be exterminated!

nBack on Earth, humanity has accepted the fact that the Mechanical race is peaceful.

nShi Qing’s appearance was just too harmless to think otherwise.

nZhao Miaomiao’s father was quickly given the death penalty, but she was spared for now. It was only after being imprisoned for a month while the Insects were driven off Earth that her trial began.

n

n

nAs the one who kidnapped the Mechanical King and conspired with the Insects to murder General Yin Mingzheng, her trial attracted much attention.

nAfter all, the era of peace has arrived. The people who used to struggle to survive now had time to invest in gossiping.

nMaybe she knew that her trial was being broadcasted internationally, but when Zhao Miaomiao was standing in the courtroom, she gave up on defending herself to solely focus on dragging Shi Qing down with her.

nShe sneered at the camera: “Why are all of you so eager to believe that alien? At the beginning, he was the one that put millions of human lives at stake in exchange for Yin Mingzheng. He didn’t even bother to hide his wrongdoings, but idiots like you just lap up whatever he says!”

nZhao Miaomiao’s words caused an outburst of discussion amongst the audience.

nYet before Zhao Miaomiao could even smirk, she caught a few snippets of what they were saying.

n“Wasn’t it all explained before? Although the Mechanical race yearned for peace, it was reluctant to interact with other intelligent creatures. That’s why they wanted General Yin, the most powerful earthling, to explain the situation when they arrived. As a result, General Yin fell in love with their King, who then followed him back to the human base.”

n“Our General Yin is so powerful. I mean he’s seduced their royal family. The Mechanical race reveres their King as if he was a god.”

nZhao Miaomiao was almost frothing with rage, “Are you all blind?!! Those aliens surrounded our base!! They were clearly threatening us!! If they really want someone, why can’t they ask nicely like a normal person?!”

nOne person looked at Zhao Miaomiao with open contempt, as if he was looking at a fool: “Compared to them, we’re like ants. If you were helping ants get rid of other ants, would you bother to tell them beforehand?”

n“That’s right. Besides, if an alien arrived back then and said that they wanted to help us fight the Insects, no one would believe them.”

n“What benefits could they possibly gain from deceiving us? They beat the Insects for us, but they didn’t ask for anything in return before leaving. The remaining member of the royal family is even a couple with General Yin. Are you saying that it was all for General Yin’s sake?”

n“That idea might have some merit. If a man as excellent as General Yin wasn’t already in a relationship with a royal, I just might go try my luck.”

nZhao Miaomiao: “……”

nShe stared out at the whispering masses. No one paid any attention to the facts of the matter. She felt like she was the only sane person here.

nIn consideration for her heinous crimes, Zhao Miaomiao was sentenced to death. Since she did not cause serious harm, her sentence was suspended for three months.

nThese three months were more like a cruel mercy.

nAfter all, it was agonizing to live when you knew of your impending death.

nThe Zhao Miaomiao incident came to an end like that. Her words had no effect on the general populace.

nTo be honest, if she had said those things two months ago, when the humans were still the most suspicious of Shi Qing, then maybe things could have turned out differently.

nHowever, the Insects that occupied their homeworld had been driven away now. It was apparent from the ease with which the Mechanical race repelled these invaders that they could conquer Earth with minimal hassle if they wanted to.

nBut they didn’t.

nNot only that, they even gave Earth the coordinates of the Intergalactic Alliance before leaving silently.

nWith their level of strength, there was no need to put on a show if they had ill intent.

nIn addition, Earth successfully contacted the Intergalactic Alliance and completed their registration.

nThere, they learned that only relatively backwards and unregistered planets were targeted by the predatory Insect race. After all, if a registered planet was in trouble, all other members were obligated to seek out and retaliate against the perpetrators.

nEarth was safe. For now at least.

nOf course, this protection was not absolute.

nThe staff at the Intergalactic Alliance confided in them with a hint of fear in their voice: The universe was so vast with countless different planets and races. There was one in particular considered terrorists because they were far more terrifying than any predators like the Insect race. Insects plundered other planets for resources, but that race slaughtered sentient lifeforms for sport.

n

n

nThey arrived without announcement and left without delay as soon as they were done.

nWhat could be more horrific than a race that destroyed entire planets just because they could?

nWhat’s worse, since these terrorists were so thorough, there have been no survivors thus far. The Intergalactic Alliance still had no information on this race or any of their characteristics.

nThey could only be afraid.

nAfter registration, the employee remembered something: “Right, didn’t your planet report before that the peaceful Mechanical race intervened on your behalf? Have they not registered yet? We’ve never heard of them ah.”

nAfter Yin Mingzheng told this to Shi Qing, Shi Qing said that all the Kings of his race were altruistic but reclusive as well. They shied away from forming bonds with other races. Since the Intergalactic Alliance asked, they might as well file a report.

nAs a result, a new entry was added to the database of the Intergalactic Alliance.

nMechanical race: Peace loving. Has a mission to help other planets in need.

nEstimated degree of harm: 0

nThe System that could sense history being rewritten: ……Host, are you sure this is okay?

nEn? What’s wrong?

nShi Qing was curled up in the man’s arms. He was playing with Yin Mingzheng’s buttons.

nSystem: This world will continue on even after we leave. What if the next King goes on a murderous rampage?

nDon’t worry. I’ve already taken that into consideration.

nThe young man stuck to Yin Mingzheng like glue. He used his petal-like small parts to grasp his chin.

nDue to participating in the general election, the man has not been able to rest for a long time. There was stubble on his chin, making him appear even more sensual than before.

nShi Qing’s favourite pastime recently was to toy with his facial hair.

nAs he played around, he said: The Mechanical race is also dependent on inherited memories. As long as I leave the memory of peace, the next generation will also be peaceful.

nThe System thought of one more thing: Host, you aren’t really planning to have a baby with Yin Mingzheng, right? Then that poor child will be born alone on that planet long after the two of you have passed away. How pitiful.

nShi Qing: Hahahahahaha jijijiji!!

nSystem: ?

nYou really are dumb, little System. It’s almost cute in a way. Did you actually believe me when I said that I was looking to reproduce with Yin Mingzheng? The Mechanical race spawns from the Mother Tree, which only makes a new King once it senses the previous one has died. There’s no need for companions or any of that nonsense. Isn’t the universe full of wonders?

nHahahahaha little fool.

nSystem: ……

nSystem: ……Wuwuwuwu why am I so stupid? I’m going back to my mantras.

nIn reality, it’s not just the System that thought this was true.

nYin Mingzheng also believed it.

nHe struggled with it for a long time too.

nShi Qing once told him that he searched for Yin Mingzheng because he was the strongest human on Earth. That was the reason this little prince was so sticky and chose him to be his partner.

nBefore, when Yin Mingzheng was consumed by guilt and responsibility, he naturally didn’t mind that.

nThings were different now.

nHe fell in love with Shi Qing, but Shi Qing was only with him because of his strength.

nThe hero of humanity tormented himself with this fact in his heart.

nHe didn’t blame Shi Qing in the slightest. Instead, he silently built up his mental fortitude day by day.

nAfter being discovered by Shi Qing, the man remained silent at first. He then answered in a low voice: “I want to make sure I’m the strongest person on Earth.”

n“Oh. Then keep up the good work.”

nShi Qing thought he meant the election. He nodded and dragged a reclining chair over to the training grounds. There was a tea table with juice beside the chair.

nShi Qing sat back and enjoyed the view every time Yin Mingzheng trained.

nAfter all, it’s not everyday you get to see such a handsome man with evenly distributed muscles, wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, all glistening with sweat from exertion.

nThis routine continued for two months. Just before the election, Le Youyuan’s team developed a device capable of measuring power levels.

nSince it was free for everyone, almost all of the ability users in the world tried it out of curiosity.

nTen was the highest.

nWhen others went up, they were at most a six or seven.

nWhen Yin Mingzheng went up, the detector exploded.

nHe tried five times and it exploded five times. Finally, Le Youyuan was forced to admit while holding his personal detector that Yin Mingzheng’s power far exceeded the tenth level.

nHe was only a seven!

nIt’s even more unlikely that he would be able to get little Shi Qing back from Yin Mingzheng now.

nNo matter how depressed Le Youyuan was, Yin Mingzheng, who he demanded compensation from furiously, was in a pretty good mood. The man who always presented an image of stability even raised the corners of his mouth to show a smile that Le Youyuan thought was very arrogant.

nOf course, only the hero himself knew he was smiling because he was relieved.

nIt seems that the gap between him and others was quite large. He didn’t need to worry his ability couldn’t compare or that his lover will run off one day.

nAfter the election, Yin Mingzheng was elected as the first president.

nHe could relax and focus on other pursuits now.

nHe might look like he was casually watching TV as Shi Qing played with his buttons, but in reality he was tense. Yin Mingzheng stewed in his thoughts. His eyes stared unseeingly at the screen in front of him. Finally, he spoke with a dry mouth.

n“Shi Qing, do you want to see a big part?”
