D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

The Eighth Prince took the initiative to contact Rhine. Since everyone was smart, they stopped engaging in any pointless probing and got straight to the point.

"Rhine, if you promise not to cause me any more trouble behind my back, I will give all 128 planets near the Arach Defense Line to your family," the Eighth Prince said.

Rhine raised an eyebrow. He was indeed a little surprised. He hadn't expected the Eighth Prince to be so generous. But unfortunately, no matter what conditions the Eighth Prince offered, his answer was always the same.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot agree," Rhine said.

"Why? Just because I once sent insects to hunt down your family? But Rhine, you should know that it's normal for both sides to use extreme methods during a fight. Besides, didn't I fail? Your whole family of four is fine and nothing happened."

"Consider those 128 planets my apology and compensation to your family. I can also promise never to harm your family again. I think these conditions are enough to express my sincerity in reconciliation."

"Rhine, you should know in your heart that if you insist on continuing to oppose me, the price you will pay will not be small. Accepting the conditions I offer is the most advantageous for you. You are a smart worm and should know how to choose," the Eighth Prince said.

Rhein gave a forced smile and said.

"Your Majesty, I admit that the conditions you have offered are indeed very tempting, but please forgive me for not being able to agree."

The Eighth Prince asked angrily, "What is the reason? If it's because you have any other requests, you can just say so."

Rhine suppressed all facial expressions, looked the Eighth Prince straight in the eye, and spoke.

"I have no demands. I just want to avenge my family and vent my anger. If you were dealing with a mere insect, I might accept the 128 planets. But you shouldn't have attacked my lord and his children."

"Just for that reason? Rhine, when did you become such a family-oriented female insect?"

"That's because Your Majesty doesn't understand me. I've always been a traditional, good female insect, prioritizing the male master and the offspring."

The Eighth Prince's expression showed that he didn't believe Rhine's words at all, but he also knew that Rhine had no intention of reconciling with him, so he didn't waste any more time and hung up the phone directly.

The Eighth Prince originally intended to concentrate his forces and eliminate the Rhine family first, because he knew that the Rhine family was definitely a formidable opponent.

But Rhine beat the Eighth Prince to the punch, standing up with Lu Yuan and publicly announcing that their entire Arach defense line would stand with the First Prince and support him in overthrowing the Eighth Prince's tyrannical rule.

The people inside the Araqi defense line strongly supported this decision.

The Alachi defense line is mainly inhabited by low-level male insects. In addition, the policies issued by Lu Yuan in recent years have made the relationship between male and female insects in the defense line relatively relaxed.

Therefore, the decision to uniformly raise male insects in the capital star was met with the fiercest opposition from the people within the Araqi defense line.

Now that Lu Yuan and Rhine have publicly opposed the Eighth Prince, they have naturally gained the support of all the people in the territory.

After publicly announcing their support for the Crown Prince, Lu Yuan and Rhine immediately organized the delivery of a large amount of supplies to the Crown Prince, including weapons, equipment, and other materials.

The Crown Prince also tried to get Rhine to send some soldiers from the 10th Army to provide support, but Rhine refused, saying that the Araqi insectoids were stirring again and the 10th Army could not be mobilized for the time being.

In compensation, Rhine promised the Crown Prince an additional large sum of supplies.

Besides the eldest prince, the Arachi Defense Line also readily supports other forces that oppose the Eighth Prince's rule.

It can be said that the Alaqi defense line has become the logistics department for almost all the forces opposing the Eighth Prince.

With the strong support of the Arach defense line, the entire Zerg Empire was engulfed in war, and the Eighth Prince was no longer able to concentrate his forces to deal with the Rhine family.

Then, the longest civil war in Zerg history began.

At first, the Eighth Prince held a significant advantage, since he had inherited the throne and could rightfully acquire much of the empire's power.

Moreover, while some insects may find the decision to keep male insects in captivity too cruel, some female insects who have long been oppressed by male insects find it incredibly gratifying, and these female insects have become staunch supporters of the Eighth Prince.

However, as time went on, people noticed that the Eighth Prince's attitude towards male insects became increasingly harsh, treating almost every male insect as a slave.

Moreover, male insects in this situation experience a significant decline in both mental strength and fertility.

People realized that things couldn't continue like this, so more and more insects began to defect to the Eighth Prince's opposing forces.

After five years of civil war, the Zerg Empire was almost split in two, with one side ruled by the Eighth Prince and the other by the First Prince, and the balance of power began to tilt toward the First Prince.

In this situation, the Eighth Prince expended a great deal of effort to kill the First Prince on the battlefield, hoping to thereby cause the forces opposing him to disintegrate.

However, after the death of the First Prince, Rhine immediately stepped forward, gathered all the power left behind by the First Prince, and continued to attack the Eighth Prince.

Moreover, the Araqi insectoids suddenly became docile at this time, allowing Rhine to draw forces from the Tenth Army to supplement its combat strength.

With Rhine's combat prowess and Lu Yuan's tireless logistical support from the rear, Rhine led his army, advancing relentlessly towards the capital planet.

A year later, Rhine finally broke into the capital planet.

Before the Rhine invaded the capital planet, the Eighth Prince committed suicide. Before his death, he killed all the remaining members of the royal family.

......

After arriving on the capital planet, although she had not yet officially ascended the throne, Rhine immediately took Lu Yuan and the two children to live in the palace.

That evening, after finishing their business, Lu Yuan and Rhein lay hand in hand on the bed in the palace.

Lu Yuan was still a little dazed. He never expected that when he returned to the capital planet, he would actually move into the palace.

"My lord, what are you daydreaming about?" Rhine asked.

"I still feel like I'm dreaming. I never imagined that when we returned to the capital planet, we would be living in the palace," Lu Yuan said.

"That's nothing, I have even better news to tell you, my lord."

"What news?"

"In a few days, you, my lord, will be able to succeed to the throne as the Insect King. From now on, you will be the Insect King, and I will be your Insect Queen, okay?" Rhine said with a smile.

Upon hearing the words "Insect Emperor," Lu Yuan's first reaction was not joy, but trouble.

As a duke, dealing with affairs within his territory was already exhausting enough. The thought of becoming the Queen of the Insects and having to manage the affairs of the entire Insect Empire made Lu Yuan feel dizzy.

"My lord, why do you look unhappy?" Rhine asked, puzzled.

"Rhine, I think you should take the position of Insect King. I'm not capable enough, so let's not force it. Besides, it doesn't make any difference whether you take it or I take it," Lu Yuan said.

Rhine was both amused and exasperated, saying, "My lord, do you even understand what the position of Insect Emperor means?"

"I know, but I really can't do it. Being a duke is tiring enough, being an insect queen! Please leave me alone."

"And Rhein, you've forgotten. I've said it before: for me, power and wealth are not important. All I want is for you and the children to stay safe and sound by my side."

"As for the position of the insect king, you are the most suitable person to sit in this position in our family, so naturally you should take it," Lu Yuan said.

Rhine stared blankly at Lu Yuan, thinking how wonderful it was that even though so much time had passed and he had tasted the power, Lu Yuan hadn't changed; he was still the same Lu Yuan who put his family first.

Then, Rhine heard Lu Yuan continue speaking.

"And compared to the title of Insect King, I think the title of Insect King Sovereign sounds cooler."

Rhine paused for a moment, then smiled seductively and whispered in Lu Yuan's ear.

"Alright, from now on you will be the Insect King, the only insect that can suppress the Insect King."

This double entendre, coupled with Rhine's alluring expression, immediately made Lu Yuan's heart flutter.

After that, the sweet night that belonged to the couple began.

......

In 3052 Astrological Year, the Rothschild dynasty was established, founded by Rhine Rothschild.
