WARNING!! HOLD A TISSUE AND PREPARE YOURSELVES. 😭
The place of the meeting was changed to earth. The humans accepted the change without any objection. The place of the meeting was changed to its own base. They had no reason to refuse.
The size of the Zerg Guards were still luxurious, but the other races had adapted from the shock.
Anyway, these Zergs were afraid that their king would be bullied outside. If allowed, the whole zerg clan would accompany their king on this trip.
These Zergs would really do it.
The Zerg fleet landed on earth, and the humans also showed a welcome attitude. How incredible the scene was. In the past, the humans on earth would probably prefer to believe that the sun came out from the West and would not believe the reality in front of them.
It was important to clearly identify the black-haired youth in the Zerg ranks, whose eyes were now golden.
Although not cold, these golden eyes still made people dare not look at it directly.
On Earth, they were an alien race, and also came to talk with the head of the Earth Federation. As time passed, Gu Huai felt that he was a bit fierce, although this was not the Earth he had lived on.
Both sides and even the entire intergalactic community understood the importance of this meeting. In order to prevent any unexpected occurrences, the Earth Federation began to impose martial law from within the planet, and now the entire galaxy was in a state of close surveillance.
If something could happen to such a degree, the Earth Federation would not have to mix it up in the intergalactic space. Of course, the meeting between the two sides could almost be said to have been completed in an absolutely safe environment.
In 217 A.D., the two races that were formerly deadly enemies reached reconciliation, which was of great significance to both the Zergs and humans.
In the second year after that, the Zergs successfully joined the Twelve Star Alliance under the conditions of full voting, forming a consolidated alliance with the other twelve races in the Star Alliance.
Star Alliance was the largest political and military alliance among the stars, which meant that the Zergs could continue to attain the greatest peace from now on and in future unless there was a new race in the universe that was better than the Zergs.
“For members of the Star Alliance, the Zergs should be given a unified preferential regulation, so that all of you here should have no objection. As for participation in peacekeeping, we will mobilize our troops according to the circumstances.” The black-haired youth with golden eyes was a new face at the Star Alliance meeting, but they were not passive at this time, or even had relative initiative.
It was a political and military alliance, but the actual members of the Star Alliance were also mutually beneficial economically, seeking common development, so there was a preferential regulation.
As for the statement of youth, the representatives of all ethnic groups present here really had no opinions and could not find any mistakes.
As a new member, Gu Huai did not say too much or stayed silent in the Star Alliance meeting. He grasped a good standard and sat in a high-backed chair to deal with the meeting with leeway.
In the year when the Zergs joined the Star Alliance, the hottest discussion on StarNet was the term ‘golden age’. Following the old era of frequent wars among various races, a new era of relative peace had entered, and the golden age, which should be the best era of development for all races in the interstellar world.

There was a plan that Gu Huai wanted to do long ago, but this plan needed a peaceful and stable environment to start. Now the starting conditions were satisfied.
The plan was to enlighten the wisdom of the lower class zerg, who did not possess too much wisdom, but could evolve, but their own evolution is very slow and the environment was comfortable.
At the beginning of the Star Age in the days of old, when wars were frequent, the lower class Zerg would only follow their instincts to fight. The time between the birth and death of a lower class Zerg was often very short.
In addition to the comfortable environment, the slow evolution of the low-class Zergs itself also needed external help to solve this problem, otherwise it was likely to stagnate.
Gu Huai thought of the spiritual link to this ‘external force’ which must be possessed.
For the remaining eighteen years, in addition to maintaining the management of the planets under his command, Gu Huai had been pondering the wisdom of the lower class Zerg.
“Come and read to me -” sitting on the ground, Gu Huai stretched his finger, and said this again to the Tak Zerg around him. Gu Huai’s eyebrows and eyes were a little helpless, because he always felt that the results would not change.
In response to the young zerg’s foreboding, some of the Tak Zergs around the young zerg made a little movement, pronouncing the word ‘baby’ in a very hoarse voice.
Babies were cubs, the two human visitors in Tuther had successfully conveyed this idea.
These Tak Zergs were stubbornly reluctant to change their minds.
Although the Tak Zergs now understand that the young zerg was an adult, they just didn’t want to change their previous concept, but wanted to continue treating their young zerg as a cub.
Gu Huai: “…”
One of the two visiting human guests laughed, having been a captive several years ago, but later became a commander.
Hearing the laughter, Gu Huai turned his eyes. The two humans in front of him were the culprits of the ‘baby’ he was shouted by his own Tak Zerg.
However, he could not say anything about such a small matter. The Shen family and the Nislok family had also said a lot of good things about the Zergs to the Federal Parliament.
It was a strange scene for the huge, frightening low-class Tak Zerg to shout ‘baby’ around the black-haired youth, but after accepting it, there was an indescribable sense of harmony.
Forget it, he wouldn’t correct it… It was obvious that the Tak Zergs around them liked to call him that so much, and Gu Huai accepted his fate.
If the low-class Zerg studied hard under guidance, they could actually use the language normally, not only making a single hoarse hiss.
Guidance could be accomplished by spiritual links. So far, the low-class Zergs in the Zerg clan had mastered the basic language ability under the guidance of their king, and their wisdom had also been improved accordingly.
Although there was still a long way to go to possess a high degree of wisdom, it had undoubtedly achieved considerable results.
In fact, Gu Huai was quite satisfied that the plan could be carried out here within the remaining clearance time limit. At first, the spiritual link guidance was necessary, but now at this level of wisdom, the remaining distance, even if he was not there, the lower class of the Zerg clan could find their own way, and from then on get a high degree of wisdom.
At the same time, the research team responsible for soil improvement of Tuther had made new progress. Soil testing in the experimental site had tended to be benign, which was good news for all the Zergs on Tuther. It should be some time before the experimental area could grow beautiful flowers, and the gifts they wanted for their king’s birthday would be made smoothly.
“Chirp?” The tail was fluent and naturally circled around the waist of the young zerg. Alvis hugged the black-haired youth who had taken the initiative to lay in his arms and lowered his head to gently rub his cheeks.
He noticed that his partner’s mood did not seem to be very good. At this time, the youth should just be guided by the spiritual link after the end of the day…
“If I suddenly disappear one day or something, you don’t have to wait.” Gu Huai stretched out his forefinger and poked at the cheek of the silver-haired Zerg who was holding him. His cold and beautiful face was very soft.
As for the young zerg’s statement, Alves only slightly tilted his head. He reached out and took the youth in his arms and poked his cheek back, then gently pecked and kissed the fingertip of the white finger. “Wait.”
“Wait for Ah Huai.” He had no intention to contradict his partner. Generally speaking, Alves was obedient to the young zerg, but this was not the case.
If he couldn’t wait, look for it. Turn the whole intergalactic space over, even in a different space outside this world, until he found him.
Without letting the young man in his arms think more, Alves carefully kissed the young man on his lips, stretched out his tongue and licked between the young man’s lips, and then plunged into a deep kiss.
Compared with the fact that he only knew how kiss his lower lip at the beginning, the practical knowledge of the silver-haired Zerg was obviously much more abundant nowadays.
Day after day, it seemed that there was no big difference between them. One day, a new piece of good news came from the research team.——
“It’s a flower bud.” Small and very tender, as if it could be broken. Looking at the small flowerpot with flower buds, the Zerg people present showed an obvious joy.
This achievement was handed over to his leader by Aljer. Alves acted slightly unnaturally while holding the flowerpot, but it was good to hold the flowerpot. If he was asked to pinch such a small flower bud, he might not be able to control his strength.
The black-haired young zerg, curled up on his side in bed, was sleeping quietly, because he did not want to disturb the youth’s sleep.
So Alves sat down on the edge of the bed, holding the flower pot carefully while waiting for the young man to wake up quietly.
Giving him flowers, Alves was happy… When he thought about it in his heart, the silver-haired zerg, who looked very cold, his pupils dilated slightly and he suddenly looked a little like a big cat that had been gently scratched its jaws.
The flower buds in the pot were very tender, and maybe only one small flower would grow after that, but as the first flower to survive on Tuther, Alves thought the existence of this flower was very meaningful.
But from afternoon till evening, the young zerg showed no sign of waking up. Alves put the little pot on his hand down on the nightstand and hugged the young zerg curled up to his bosom with his tail.
“Ah Huai?” Still thinking that the young zerg in his arms was just sleepy, the silver-haired zerg pecked the cheek of the youth in his arms and whispered his name.
A loud voice would wake the young zerg up. He didn’t want to see a panicked expression on the young zerg’s face.
It was only after a low-pitched call and quiet closure of the eyes of the young man in his arms that Alves felt uneasy.
“Chirp…?”
Still no response.
The sudden sleep of the King spread rapidly among the Zergs, and the Zergs living on other planets rushed to Tuther, which became quite crowded after a while.
Smooth breathing, normal heartbeat, quietly lying in bed, the black-haired youth looked like he was just sleeping, but for some unknown reason could not wake up. The previous flower buds had now grown into a yellow flower, which was now placed on the window of the youth’s bedroom.
“Flowers.” Another new flower was successfully planted on Tuther, and Alves, as usual, approached the young man’s bed with a twig and pushed the flower in front of the young man a little.
Again, there was no response, but the silver-haired zerg was not disappointed. He just waited quietly for a few seconds and then lowered his head to peck the young man’s lips.
Wait.
While waiting, all the Zergs on Tuther were working hard.
There was no doubt that their king would wake up, but it would take a little time, so they had to work harder during this period.
So when their king woke up, he could see a planet of flowers.
——-
I cried, you cried, we all cried 😭.
First Arc done 🙆😎. It’s kind of sad yet exciting because this just marks a new beginning for the lovers, but i’mma lowkey miss the Zergs ✌💜.
Oh my god I’m crying 😭
Sad😭😭 I know theyll meet again but the ending is still quiet sad😭😭 ML is still waiting for him to wake up😭😭😭😭
I read the novel I am not Human which is the detailed version and complete novel of this arc.
Yes Thats why Im much better at coping than before when I was reading it(Im not human).
P.S. I cried
This scene made me think of Eli waiting for Gu Yan to come back… so similar with Alves waiting for his Ah Huai to wake up… 😭😭
May I ask if that’s a novel……. And is it BL? If so, can you tell me the title? Pleaseee
Eli and Gu Yan are from the first arc of this BL quick transmigration novel: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-people-whore-supposed-to-kill-me-fell-for-me-instead/
shit you reminded me again…. cant stop the tears……… you know i read that novel (eli) during my boards exam and while not only while i prepared during the end of the English test coincidently there was a question with where u needed to write a short story with the given outline n the character given was ellie and i was silently crying when i got out of the hall everyone thought it was because i didnt do good … i got tired after explaining over again n again and let them think whatever they wanted…….. by the way got 92 out of 100
Ikr! I literally broke down when I read that part. And I didn’t ask for it to happen again 😭😭😭
Oh God yes…Elli is still my weakness, I still hope he gets another chance! ≥~≤
OMG I really can’t with that 😭😭😭😭😭
That one’s too painful ahhhhhhhh
Oh god!! This is just abuse. I’m so sad. What if gh doesn’t recognise his lover in the next world? I wouldn’t be able to survive that.😭
Thanks for the chapter
Why are the Ninja’s chopping onions?????
😭😭😭😭💔💔💔
But I already miss the Zergs… Poor Alves! 😭
Thanks for the chapter! 💕
It’s sad, but also… optimistic. The Zergs didn’t go berserk in Gu Huai’s absence, they’ll evolve and live in a better way than before.
And believe it or not, I suspected that Gu Huai will go into a coma once his time’s up and he needs to go to the next world, only I thought that Alves will fall asleep with him (who the hell is cutting onions here?! Go away! 😭😭😭)
Thank you for the wonderful journey, dear Hanni! ❤
Do you mind if I ask how many chapters there are in the next arc? (Need to prepare them tissues beforehand 😋)
About 20 chapters
Thanks! ❤
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px ‘Helvetica Neue’}
Thanks for the chapter! I’m gonna miss the zerg world (can’t believe I’m saying that, but they are adorable) & it breaks my heart to see them all waiting & how he never got to see the flowers they worked so hard to plant…
Hmmm…….😭😭😭😭 so so so so sad…! Why does it end like this……well I guess it’s better than him suddenly dying…..gives the zergs hope….😭😭😭 that’s so painful!!……wishing a chapter where he goes back to the zerg place and wake up to continue~
Thanks so much for the chapter~!😭😆
Thanks for the chapter 😊 so saaad. I’m bawling rn. Ugly crying to the hilt. 😭
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^
Why.. It’s not fair. These Zergs deserve happiness..
Ohmygosh My tears just can’t stop 😭
Abuse I say this is abuse😭😭😭😭😭
Alves is now sad, but they’ll meet again soon.
Before reading:
WARNING!! HOLD A TISSUE AND PREPARE YOURSELVES. 😭
Hmmm…. I have a bad feeling about this
(Prepares tissues just in case)
At the part when alves brings the flowers to GH:
Bad feeling INTENSIFIES
GH sleeping:
(A lot of manga and novels in which the protagonist sleeps and never wakes up flashed through my mind)
Nooo! Ah Huai baby don’t die on us! Don’t let alves be a widow!
(╯Q皿Q)╯ ┸┸)`ν°) ┻━┻
After reading the chapter:
(Ran out of tissues) dang, onion ninjas….
I was kinda expecting that but I still teared up ;-;
Agh, I knew this would happen, but at least it’s not like Qiu Qiu and Ah Yan in arc 1…or Perfect Destiny or Heroic Death System…he’s just sleeping…
I hope for more fluffy in the next arc : ‘ )
Uuh.. where are they from exactly? May you bestow me with the title pleasee?!🙏
[The People who’re supposed to kill me fell for me instead] is the novel. Prepare for the first ark. You will cry.
ohh heroic death system is so.. sad, like almost all arcs mc dies, though of course he comes back too…but i especially liked the transmigration of mc’s child… that arc was really cute
I’m gonna be very honest here, I completely forgot this is a transmigration novel. Excuse me as I go hide under my bed sheets and cry.
It’s so sad since he’s not just leaving his lover, he’s leaving an entire race that loves him more than anything.
Thanks for the great translation ♥️♥️
I regret the spontaneous decision to read this while waiting for the bus. QAQ I swear I’m not crying, there’s just someone cutting onions here!
I’m so sad Ah Huai didn’t get to see the newly budded flowers the Zergs wanted to gift their king and Alves-! ( ╥ д ╥) Poor Alves waiting patiently for his king to wake up– that really broke my heart ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
I knew it!
BE!
*Sniff*
Yeah. Just like for every arc of How to die as heavy as mount tai 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 if you’ll read it be prepared for the first arc’s annoying and heartbrokingly end! Up till now that novel’s first arc gave me a trauma of interstellar quick transmigration bl novels 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😭😭😭😭 The ending is so sad
kinda wish warning isnt there, feels spoilerish
ty for chappie
Oh my god! 😭😭😭 I’m still crying. The last part hit me so hard, especially when I’m thinking of Alves waiting along with the whole Zerg.
hello, i am reine from indonesia, i am interest in this story and want to translate this into indonesian. Can I retranslate this story of yours?
So glad i didnt cry as im in the middle of class luckily my first response to sadness is to smile (^-^)
wahhhh i feel sorry for the zergs who are waiting for him to wake up….poor babies…😭
Thanks for the chapter~
Just over here trying to breath through the tears threatening to come out. Thanks for the chapter. (No emojis today sorry it’s not the mood rn)
Crying in the club. Lol 😭😭😭
…
What the-
Goshdarn, it’s a sad and bittersweet ending!
At least someone didn’t see the other person die physically or vanish without explanation.
Thank you for the chapter!
I didn’t think it would end so abruptly, poor Zergs, they will always work hard waiting for their king to wake up.
I’m sad.
Everyone’s sad.
🙁
😭😭😭😭 Oh, I do hope he returns to them. But now the other worlds…..
THAT?! Is that the end? What kind of monster did this write? My heart has broken … Noooo my pretty zergs. Por qua Dios… POR QUA!!!
The zergs were so cute… Its pretty sad that they were hopelessly waiting for him to wake up..
😢 Please tell me later MC have the option to come back
This story is so cute! The translation is also good, although it’d be even better if there was an editor 😊 can’t wait for the next arc, thank you for translating ❤️
OMG😭😭😭 my poor heart wasn’t prepared for that! So sad but sweet😭😭😭😭❤️
dang it i read it in MTL and cried, now i read it again and i cry even more….
Even though I have just read to this point of the story, it seems
like the endings of at least arc 1 is similar to “the people who’re
supposed to kill me fell for me instead”.
Well, it’s no surprise, after all both novels have the same author. But it seems like I’m becoming a fan of him (n_n)
His works are all really good, so please read it (^_^) *silently advertising*
A waterfall of tears, can you imagine the many people who waited for years. He never woke but his body maintained like an eternal statue forever slumbering. It is scary how he remains forever sleeping in that world.
(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻ My baby!!
😭😭😭
They’re from How to Die As Heavy As Mount Tie. Just from the title and you’ll understand the feels. The first arc kicked my heart. The second arc kikced my gut. Dunno if the ending of the novel will kill me.
This novel is like it 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 i’m gonna miss the Zergs… i’m so heartbroken for Alves. He doesn’t lose hope, waiting for Gu Huai to come back. So obedient but very heartbreaking… 😢😢😢😢
Whose cutting onions 😭
ಢ‸ಢn-noooooooo…huaaaaaaaaaaa….😭😭😭😭
I never expected to find the zergs so cute! I love them so much and they will be missed 😭♥️♥️♥️
Let’s look at the bright side, at least it was not as sad as the first arc of “The People Who are Supposed To Kill Me Fell For Me Instea”
Agreed that one was really sad and heartbreaking 💔💔💔
This is so heartbreaking. Can’t stop my tears. All that fluff and cuteness, and now this sadness :”( TnT
Thank you for all these chapters 😭
my heart is really hurting right now…😢😢😢😢😢
So sad ☹️😞😟😫(╥ω╥
)(p′︵‵。)(X﹏X)↷（ΩДΩ）(つㅅ･)･゜(｡•́︿•̀｡)Geez, i’m crying here dawg (┳Д┳)
Thank you for translating ❤❤❤❤❤
Such an emotional chapter 😭
Came here after reading “I’m not human” and since it’s still not completely translated I’m hoping for a really really happy ending for that one……especially since the fluff is on a higher level there ❤
So confident that I’ll never cry but what’s this ah? 😭 So hurt
Omg I’m so sad 😭 will he move onto a next world each time and meet someone new? Will Alves just be waiting in the first world forever for him? 😢 Hope they can meet again and end up together 😭😭😭 didn’t get say he was going to stay till the time period ended? Or was that already 18 years? QAQ
I really love this zerge arc…
One of my most favorite
Atleast he didn’t die just in coma 🙂
He will wake up soon for sure so I’m not that sad… Just a little sure… But not very very sad…
After reading this and powering through the rest of the novel, the only arch I could really remember was this one. So although I have a strong love for this novel, I’d say it stems purely from this arch, making the others almost irrelevant.
If I were one the one righting this, after that first arch I would have completely lost inspiration, so it’s great that the author could have come up with so many unique ideas. I suppose that’s why there was an entire nother book dedicated to this idea.
What book?
+1
I’m Not Human
Thank you for the chapter.
And I guess thats the end of our first arc. Though sad, it was definitely a happy ending! 😌
This arc was too beautiful and meng. Oh but the ending . Zergs as cute what a novel thing to witnesses.
I should’ve had skipped that part .omg .y heart
😭😭😭 Wait. They all waiting…
I’m glad, I’m glad they didn’t realize that he’s dead.
Such a warm feeling even with the separation this ark was just too sweet and fluffy
That end make me think that someday he will wake up and come back to his beloved Zergs and husbando😟😢
i’m hurt aaAAHH :–(((((
QAQ that really actually hit me quite hard T^T
I don’t feel sad for ML coz I know they will meet again but the other zergs is so pitiful 😭😭😭😭 they love him so much 😭 I hope MC will go back here someday 😭
I tried so hard not to cry… And I made it!!! 🙃
Reading this adorable novel for a second time after almost a year has past. I cried again. This part is just so sad.
I didn’t cry…since I read Perfect Destiny first 😅…but yeah… I feel quiet sad 😟
IM CRYING SO HARD MY GRANDMA THOUGHT I’VE GONE CRAZY OMGGG I HOPE THEY REUNITE SOON I LOVE THIS SM THANK U FOR THE BEAUTIFUL TRANSLATION <33
This arc is the first story that narrates about how lovable Zergs can be. And even Zerg’s POV made me feel grateful for the author.
This is so sad. 😭 can’t stop tearing up.
Neither the warning nor knowing this would happen helped me escape my tears. Thank you for the chapters
You feed us fluff, but now you feed us onion?! What is dis?! QAQ
pfft i was crying just now and end up seeing this comment, HAHAHAHHAHA LOL LIKE “WAIT ONIO-“
You are very right. I did cry. Good arc.
Noo≈≈ 😢😭😭😭 Wake up even if not the same soul just please open your eyes the ML is waiting.
Oh my gosh nooo
No no nooo nooooooo
My heart is hurting
WTF!!!! I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FLUFFY? THEN WHY TF AM I F*CKING CRYING?!!!!!!!!!!
+
Спасибо, конечно, слёзы ручьём текут ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ👍
NOOOOO😭😭
Nooo!!! I’m sobbing so hard right now, like the Zergs were so cute and I love the fluff dynamic between Ah Guai and Alves. The fact they waited for him to wake up, and planted flowers for him to see once he wakes up. I don’t even know if he will see it, makes me wanna cry even harder. 😭😭
Gu Huai, why did you suddenly want to become sleeping beauty???? (ಥ_ಥ)
f*ck i cried.
Wuwuwu😭 I even got a sno
Ah Huai wuwwuwuwuwu
Finally over I read the I’m not human first but I still wanted to read this😩🔫
Listen. Listen. I was promised that there was only fluff, so why pray tell am i now almost sobbing before physics class?? Bestie i do not have the capacity for another breakdown.
This ending always never, ever, failed to leave me crying, turning my eyes swollen.
I have repeatedly read this novel, but like dating the strongest boss, I’m really good at crying, and hurting myself more 🥺🥺😢😢😭😭🤧🤧🤧
I knew my bad feeling last chapter would come true!! I read ‘the people who were supposed to kill me like me instead’(?) and the first arc was a BE!!!
😭😭😭
Why the hell the author abuse us😭 Feel bad for Alves and Zerg who were still waiting for him and the flowers that the Zergs work hard but didn’t get to see their king😭
I’m not crying. You are.
I am rereading this for the nth time but still cried😭 I am thankful that the sequel of this arc which is I am not human is already done wuwuwuwu
Even though there’s a warning, I’m still not prepared for that! I’m crying wuwuwuwuwwu. Somehow, I feel like this ending is more emotional than the MC dying. T_T
Thanks for the chapter 🥰
I hope the other arcs would have a happy ending
I hope after he became king he will live in this planet w his liver n cute zergs
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Idk if this ending, compared to him disappearing altogether, is better. So cruel 😭
AAAAAA I still shed tears in the end with this arc even tho I readed INH QAQ It’s so heartbreakinghgftkj
Aw : (( my heart’s heavy for the zergs : ((
Awww… it’s the best Zerg protagonist story I’ve seen in a while, even though it a QT arc…
I already missed the zerg. I’m not crying, you’re crying!
😭😭😭😭
Maaan, i almost teared up, but i wish i did have a tear drop. Some say that us who read the sequel of the first arc before this are lucky, but i kinda feel that reading it before this was a blessing and curse. I wasn’t able to fully enjoy the arc😔.
I’m looking forward to the next arc.
Reread this again and crying again.. I thought I won’t cry, but here I am
Not as bad as I thought it would be
