Zhou Qi eagerly opened its Kin panel to check:

One-Star Talent: Summon Kin
Life Strength: 61
Zhou Qi nodded in satisfaction. The Lizardman King, strengthened to Fifth-Order, already surpassed the Fifth-Order Flying Thunder Centipede in terms of life strength alone.
However, if they were to truly fight, it would probably still be inferior to the Flying Thunder Centipede with its many powerful talent bonuses.
The Yi Serpent Person Leader nearby was deeply shocked. To be able to strengthen the Lizardman King to such an extent in such a short time, Zhou Qi appeared like a True God in her eyes.
Zhou Qi looked at the Yi Serpent Person Leader, and that gaze made her body tremble slightly, both fearful and expectant.
Zhou Qi did not hesitate, once again activating the Evolution Space, and Evolution Points surged towards the Yi Serpent Person Leader like a rushing river.
"Beep, consuming 400 million Evolution Points, the Yi Serpent Person is strengthened to First-Order Yi Serpent Person. Congratulations, Host, you have gained Elementary intimacy with the First-Order Yi Serpent Person."
......
"Beep, consuming 6.4 billion Evolution Points, the Yi Serpent Person is strengthened to Fifth-Order Yi Serpent Person. Congratulations, Host, you have gained the sworn loyalty of the Fifth-Order Yi Serpent Person."
In the light, the Yi Serpent Person Leader's body became more slender and agile, her scales shimmered with a more dazzling purple light, her triangular head widened, and her blood-red eyes exuded majesty and ferocity.
A pair of huge wings covered with strange runes also grew on her back, each flap causing the air to churn violently, like a mythical soaring serpent.
With the strengthening complete, Zhou Qi once again checked her Kin panel:

Life Strength: 60
At this moment, both the Lizardman King and the Yi Serpent Person Leader had reached a life strength of 60 points or more, becoming beings above the Mid-Rank Demigod level.
Their original memories were not lost; it was as if a Restriction had been placed in their minds, filling them with loyalty to Zhou Qi. Both simultaneously knelt and bowed to Zhou Qi.
The Lizardman King respectfully said, "Great Dominator, my name is Kronos. Henceforth, all that I am belongs to you. I am willing to go through fire and water for you and lead my people to follow you forever."
The Yi Serpent Person Leader also hastily said, "Dominator above, I am Eris. I vow eternal loyalty to you and will obey all your commands. Should I ever disobey, I am willing to accept punishment."
Zhou Qi nodded slightly and said, "You will continue to manage your respective peoples. The Geocentric Base's New District is nearing completion. They can choose to live in the New District or remain in their original territories, but they must obey my rule and propagate my will. Any defiance will not be lightly forgiven."
With that, Zhou Qi turned and left.
The two watched Zhou Qi's receding figure and slowly stood up.
Kronos tilted his head slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to temporarily suppress the complex emotions in his heart.
Once the Lizardman King, he was formidable in his own territory, and every decision he made concerned the fate of countless of his people.
But now, facing the new Dominator, Zhou Qi, only the submission of his tribe could bring him peace of mind.
He turned to look at Eris, and saw that Eris's eyes were also filled with determination and decisiveness. The two exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then turned and walked towards the Geocentric Base's New District.
Along the way, Kronos's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.
In those days, the Lizardman Kingdom, under his leadership, broke class inequality, and the entire civilization was vibrant, with his people performing their respective duties.
Young warriors sweated profusely on the training grounds, constantly honing their skills to protect their homeland;
Elders sat together, recounting the heroic deeds of their ancestors who attacked the surface; children played and laughed in the villages, full of aspirations for the future.
And he, as King, bore the heavy responsibility of leading the entire race to prosperity. Every expedition carried the hopes of his people.
But now, everything had changed.
Now, he was the most loyal Apostle in the hands of the great Dominator!
Eris's mood was equally heavy. She tightly gripped the long spear that symbolized her status as the Yi Serpent Person Alliance Leader, the shaft trembling slightly.
Once, this spear was wielded on the battlefield, striking fear into the hearts of enemies. Under her leadership, the Yi Serpent Person Alliance continuously gathered small Yi Serpent tribes, bringing them together, and was also a hegemon in its own right.
But now, the Alliance no longer existed; only the Dominator's gaze upon her would last forever.
They arrived at the New District.
At this moment, creatures with low life strength were being successively arranged into the resting area in the New District.
These creatures had just witnessed the high and mid-level members of their respective tribes being taken away by the Insectoid Kin, and their hearts were filled with fear and unease.
Inside the resting area, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating.
Some timid creatures huddled in corners, their bodies trembling uncontrollably; some stared blankly ahead, seemingly still recovering from the recent upheaval; others gathered in small groups, whispering, their voices filled with worry and fear.
The Lizardmen and Yi Serpent Person, as the strongest and most numerous captive groups, were originally apprehensive.
But when they saw Kronos and Eris appear unharmed, the crowd instantly stirred.
An elderly Lizardman excitedly shouted, "It's our King! Our King is still here!"
This shout seemed to ignite hope in everyone's hearts. The Lizardmen rose one after another, surging like a tide towards Kronos, shouting, "Our King! Our King!" In their voices, there was the relief of surviving a catastrophe, and also loyalty and dependence on their former leader.
