The Yi Serpent People also saw Eris, and they quickly gathered around, kneeling neatly on the ground, respectfully saying, "Leader, it's wonderful that you are safe and sound!"
Eris looked at his kinsmen, a mix of emotions in his heart. He raised his hand, signaling everyone to rise, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Rise, kinsmen."
Kronos looked at the familiar faces before him, took a deep breath, and loudly declared, "Kinsmen, do not be afraid! We have now led everyone to join the Geocentric Base, becoming an affiliated race of the Insectoid Kin."
"This great Dominator, Zhou Qi, possesses unimaginable power, but he is also benevolent. The Insectoid Kin will not harm us. From now on, we can still live on this land and will receive protection!" His voice was firm and powerful, echoing through the resting area, attempting to instill confidence in his kinsmen.
Eris immediately followed, "That's right, everyone can rest assured. Our destiny is now closely tied to the Geocentric Base. As long as we faithfully follow the great Dominator, the future will only get better."
Upon hearing their words, the previously tense nerves of the crowd gradually relaxed.
Seeing the Lizardmen and Yi Serpent People react this way, the creatures of the smaller races also began to relax.
Some of the smaller races even secretly rejoiced, feeling that joining this powerful group could indeed save their own race from the danger of annihilation in the tumultuous Geocentric World.
............
By this point, the Geocentric World had finally been completely unified by Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi knew that the true integration and development had only just begun.
Now, the entire Blue Star, with the exception of the alien world connected to Antarctica and the Iron-Blooded World of the Earth's Core, was under his control, becoming part of his vast insect-rearing ground.

Current Evolution Points: 10 Origin Points
Time flew by like a white steed, and in a blink, a month had quietly passed.
The Geocentric Base had now been renamed by Zhou Qi to the First Hope City of the Geocentric World (abbreviated as Hope City).
Under Zhou Qi's meticulous planning and the tireless efforts of various races working day and night, it had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The city's scale expanded rapidly, its boundaries constantly extending outwards. What was once barren land was now filled with towering buildings and bustling figures, brimming with vibrant life and vitality.
The previously captive races made their own choices regarding whether to stay or leave.
Some races, harboring deep affection for their former tribal homelands, embarked on the journey back, led by their Parasite-controlled high-ranking members.
Taking the Dog-Headed Human tribe as an example, the elders of the tribe were deeply attached to the land where their ancestors had lived for generations; every inch of it carried their memories.
Despite their uncertainty about the future, the young warriors, out of love for their homeland and adherence to tradition, resolutely chose to follow.
Their Leader, once brave and fearless in battle, now, under the influence of the Mind Control Demon Bug, was absolutely obedient to Zhou Qi's commands.
On the way back, the Leader told his kinsmen about the power and order of Hope City, giving them a preliminary understanding of this mysterious place.
When they returned to their tribe, the sight was heartbreaking; their once familiar home had become dilapidated after the ravages of war, with collapsed houses and barren fields.
Thus, under the Leader's command, the kinsmen began to rebuild their home according to the model of Hope City.
They delved deep into the mountains, searching for suitable rocks.
The young Dog-Headed Human warriors, tools in hand, strenuously quarried massive stones, each weighing hundreds of jin. With tenacious perseverance and teamwork, they bound the stones with thick ropes and painstakingly dragged them back to the tribe, step by step.
The elders, drawing on their rich experience, guided the construction of the houses, strictly overseeing every step from the compaction of the foundations to the erection of the walls, ensuring the houses would be sturdy and durable, capable of withstanding wind, rain, and external invasions.
During the reconstruction of their home, they also introduced Hope City's advanced defensive concepts, meticulously setting up clever traps around the tribe.
Some of these traps involved sharp wooden stakes hidden underground, covered by a thin layer of soil and leaves. Once an enemy stepped on them, the mechanism would trigger, impaling the enemy with the stakes;
Others involved tripwires set up in important passages, connected to large boulders. Once an enemy touched them, the boulders would roll down, posing a huge threat to the enemy.
At the same time, they also built watchtowers at high points, assigning dedicated personnel to stand guard day and night, closely monitoring the surrounding movements to promptly detect danger and issue warnings.
Another portion of the races, however, was deeply attracted by the prosperity and advancement of the New District and chose to stay.
In the New District, the research achievements of the institute were astonishing, among which the External Exoskeleton and Genetic Potion became coveted treasures.
The External Exoskeleton was crafted from a mixture of special metals and mysterious Materials. Its surface shimmered with a faint blue luster, and strange energy flowed within its textures.
When a creature wore it, the Exoskeleton would fit snugly, not only not hindering movement at all but also automatically adjusting its form according to combat situations, providing comprehensive protection and power amplification.
The Genetic Potion was even more miraculous; simply injecting it into the body could enhance life strength and life level, achieving a magnificent transformation of the creature.
To obtain these precious items, Hope City implemented a contribution point system.
Zhou Qi's Kin, whether Worms, Parasites, or unparasitized free citizens, could accumulate contribution points by contributing to the city.
There were various ways to earn contribution points.
In battles of conquest, one could earn high contribution points by bravely killing enemies and achieving distinguished military merits.
For instance, there are still some previously undetected tribes remaining in remote areas of the Geocentric World.
In a recent conquest operation against a remote small force, a team composed of Insectoid Kin and Lizardmen encountered stubborn resistance.
A Ninth-Order Four Fiend Bug Soldier performed exceptionally bravely in the battle. With its agile movements and powerful attack, it moved through the enemy ranks like a phantom.
It cleverly dodged enemy attacks, used the dense black Evil Qi emanating from its body to obscure the enemy's vision, and then precisely stabbed the enemy's vital points with its sharp segmented limbs, killing a large number of enemies.
Under its leadership, the morale of the other Insectoid Kin and Lizardmen warriors surged, and they all fought bravely.
After the battle, this Four Fiends Insect Soldiers received a large number of contribution points for its outstanding performance and consumed many Genetic Potions, causing its life strength to rise sharply.
Rearing Worms that can be converted into Evolution Points is also an important way to obtain contribution points.
