The people steadied their minds and looked at the main text.
Experts, after deciphering and studying a batch of newly excavated ancient texts, made some new discoveries.
According to the records, the Yijia were descendants of some ancient gods.
The bloodline of the gods was both a gift and a curse. The three-dimensional, manifest flesh struggled to bear the power from higher dimensions, tormenting the owner of the flesh at all times.
That’s why the Yijia always seemed to be in a state of madness, chaos, and frenzy.
This was determined by the source of their power. There are no perfect creations in the world. Behind powerful forces often lie extreme defects in other aspects.
The Marshal looked at this conclusion, pondering: “The stronger the power, the crazier it becomes…”
If that’s the case, according to the logic of this paper, then the Yijia was becoming increasingly clear-minded now, spending most of its time behaving no differently from humans.
In other words, was it currently in an extremely weakened state?
But even in such a weakened state, it could easily pose a genocidal threat to the entire human empire.
This meant that the other party did not come with a destructive attitude; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to have such a calm meeting here now.
The Marshal sighed inwardly, deeply feeling the insignificance of humanity. He paused, temporarily not dwelling on this issue, and continued reading.
The following content was the focus of this research, which was about the “courtship period.”
The article stated that without any surprises, the entire lives of the Yijia would be spent in chaos and suffering, enduring long and lonely periods, and then entering the chaotic currents of the galaxy before the arrival of death, dissipating their bodies in the powerful and violent magnetic fields left after death.
—Unless they encounter their destined companion halfway through their lives, then they will enter a special stage: the courtship period.
Unlike the vast majority of species in the universe, the companions of the Yijia are almost never members of the same species.
Researchers speculated that this was one of the factors contributing to their solitary lifestyle.
In order for courtship to be successful, they might even mimic the appearance of their partner’s species.
It could be said that they use the limited intelligence they have entirely for this purpose.
……
After finishing the paper, the young Emperor of the empire pondered for a moment and was the first to comment: “This sounds somewhat romantic. Before meeting, they are chaotic and incomplete, only starting a new phase of life after meeting a partner. Sigh…”
Others: “…”

Is this the point here, Your Majesty?

“So, the current speculation is that this Yijia is currently in the courtship period? And his identified partner is a human, which is why he is mimicking human appearance.”
“And now that he’s preparing to meet an online friend, coupled with previous indications, it can be reasonably concluded that this friend is the chosen partner, the object of courtship.”
As he concluded, Bai Muxing’s information was displayed on the public screen.
Just from the data, he appeared to be a typical beta.
The beta in the photo had black hair, fair skin, and a calm expression with a hint of aloofness that even electronic files couldn’t hide.
But… aside from his outstanding appearance and excellent resume among betas, there didn’t seem to be anything particularly special about him.
His Majesty the Emperor pondered again, “So this is the aesthetic of the aliens, quite similar to human standards, huh? I thought they might prefer tentacles or scales, haha. Wouldn’t the human form seem strange to them?”
“…”
Shut up, Your Majesty, please.
No one is interested in the romantic aesthetic of alien species!
The Emperor completely ignored the discomfort of his subordinates and continued to speak by himself.
“However, what criteria do they use to choose their partners? And where did they get that photo from? Their first request to us after learning human language was to find the person in the photo. But according to the data, the only connection between them and this human was indirect contact on the battlefield five years ago. Logically, they shouldn’t have had any opportunity to obtain such a photo.”
As he spoke, he pulled up an image file.
It was a fragmented, aged photograph, with only about one-third of the original image remaining, as if it had been subjected to extreme violence.
From the remnants, the slightly youthful face of Bai Muxing could be faintly discerned.
Although the Emperor’s choice of words often carried a hint of frivolity, it had to be said that when he was serious, the issues he pointed out were indeed spot-on.
The Minister of Internal Affairs temporarily noted down these issues, intending to have them studied by professionals.
In fact, with Bai Muxing as a lead, direct surveillance or an inquiry with him would be the most effective method.
As Bai Muxing was of a clean background, a pure-blooded citizen of the empire, and a retired military officer, they could entirely control him and demand his cooperation with military operations, which would make things much more convenient.
However—
The Minister of Internal Affairs sighed, finding these matters quite troublesome: “In order not to anger Yijia, we cannot intervene too much.”
They had investigated Bai Muxing’s background and information, but that was all.
They hadn’t even monitored their interactions on the internet.
Just think about it for a bit. Any powerful entity wouldn’t be pleased if their chosen partner were manipulated by others.
They couldn’t afford the consequences of angering such a being.
“Well, there’s no other way.” The Emperor seemed less anxious than the Minister of Internal Affairs. “Either find someone who can beat that Yijia, or we’ll have to behave ourselves. Look at it positively; we can’t change the facts, so why frown every day? It’s better to be happy. After all, the tasks to be done remain the same.”
“Actually, in the final analysis, instead of fretting over these matters, why don’t we figure out a way to get them married sooner? It seems to value its partner quite highly. If their relationship goes smoothly, it probably won’t cause trouble for no reason. But this young man seems a bit difficult to handle—cold and aloof. If it happens to suffer a breakup, it won’t go crazy, will it?”
“…”
The Emperor, for some reason, suddenly wore a mysterious smile. “Doesn’t this seem like we’re running a matchmaking agency? Haha, the upper echelons of the empire are gathering late at night, all for the sake of facilitating an inter-racial marriage.”
With that, he took action, renaming the meeting room to “Inter-racial Love and Marriage Research Meeting I.”
Providing a comprehensive immersive experience for the rest of the attendees.
Everyone: “…”
The Chief Marshal, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn’t bear it and solemnly said, “Your Majesty, please be more composed.”
During this period, the two generals responsible for monitoring the alien species remained silent, silently exchanging glances, each seeing a complex expression in the other’s eyes that was difficult to express in words.
They found it utterly absurd.
After months of exhaustive research by the empire’s experts into ancient texts, they arrived at such a baffling conclusion?
Courtship—
Anyone who had ever felt the terrifying aura emanating from that alien species would find it impossible to categorize everything so simply.
However, however—
For a moment, they couldn’t come up with a rebuttal!
Upon careful consideration, if you applied this logic, all the actions of that Yijia suddenly made sense.
Even the inexplicable act of learning to farm, which was beyond comprehension, now had an explanation.
Because the beta in question currently works on farming and ranching in the borderlands.
Even their gathering here was because half an hour ago, that alien being had mentioned meeting an online friend.
“…”
It was frustrating, but there was no way to refute it.
Moreover, why was an alien species more professional in pursuing a human partner than many native humans?
Clearly, it wasn’t even adept at being human!
The two middle-aged, iron-willed A-grade generals huddled in a corner, lost in contemplation, recalling a few embarrassing moments from their past romantic pursuits and deeply questioning life.
The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.
The Chief Minister of Internal Affairs, who was over a hundred years old and nearing retirement age, had a very affable demeanor. He appeared to be gentle and easy to get along with.
He was smooth and adept at diffusing tension.
Seeing the strange atmosphere in the room, the Minister of Internal Affairs had a sudden inspiration and casually picked up a joke, attempting to break the stiffness:
“Haha, times have changed. Nowadays, even inter-racial dating can be achieved through online relationships.”
The rest of the people fell into silence: “…”
Thank you for the cold joke.
You don’t have to say it, if you don’t know how to say it, really.
But the next moment, the Emperor couldn’t contain his laughter, which suddenly echoed in the small room.
“Hahahaha! Sorry, I don’t know why, I just found it so hilarious!”
Due to the realistic physics engine design, even in the small meeting room, there arose a continuous echo that reverberated throughout, reaching everyone’s ears from all angles without any dead spots.
The rest of the people: “…”

Black Emperor: “The limited IQ I have is all used for chasing my wife Q◇Q.”
Emperor: “Got it, got it.jpg”
Others: “Is this something to ‘get’?”
I love the emperor! He really just boarded the ship and let it sail 😂
Thank you for the chapter!
This sounds more like a meeting of the moderators of a fan club! Their idol is in love so now they are shipping the CP!
Lol when the ancient alien species is better at pursuing their partner than you~
Questioning life.jpg
Thank you for the chapter ☺️
Cute!!! Ty for the chapter 💚
The emperor is so real 😭
Both Emperors are so hilariously cute
Thx for the chappy
😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
The emperor is now my favorite character!! Love him
haha the adaptation power of the youth, the emperor is so fun!
love how our alien simp has the generals questioning their own romantic histories 😂
this is actually ridiculously funny how an interstellar alien species is more professional at courtship than most people in that supportive marriage group 😂 😂 😂
So the mention of space and time travel wasn’t false and they could actually do that, I’m assuming the silver star that mc touched was a remain of the Black Emperor who somehow managed to time travel and took the photo with him from before, that’s actually quite cute and sad how he only found his other half after they both “died”…
The emperor sounds like a lovely person to be friends with 😂 casually matchmaking an alien x human species lolol
