A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

***********

……

The musicians seized the opportune moment to play the imperial anthem. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess walked hand in hand toward the terrace.

Their seats were set up on the second-floor terrace.

The position at the very front was that of the Insect King, but now it's completely empty; the Insect King has left sometime ago.

Lan didn't want to bother with him; they were happier without him.

Go wherever you want, are you too ashamed to show your face now?

The sound amplification equipment for royal speeches has already been set up on the terrace.

Next is the royal address.

Lan didn't step forward; instead, Gao Tian stood up, smiled, adjusted the microphone, and started by saying, "Hello everyone, I am your new Crown Princess."

The insects at the scene emitted loud laughter.

Lan hit him.

Gao Tian said, "Of course, there are no former officials, only me."

"Originally, I planned to cancel the Crown Princess's speech because I don't speak Zerg. But considering that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I still hope that the royal translator is sensitive enough to allow everyone to understand me."

"Today may be the first day that everyone gets to know me, but it is also the starting point for us to join hands and move towards the future."

The future—what a wonderful word.

"I don't think any of you have seen me before, right?" Gao Tian said with a smile. "First of all, I need to clarify one thing: I am indeed not a male insect."

Those present were all from powerful and wealthy families, and they had all learned about the news from other sources, so they didn't seem surprised.

But the StarNet was in an uproar, with a sea of ​​question marks appearing everywhere.

???

What does that mean? Not a male? Could it be that Her Highness the Crown Princess is actually a female?

Is our Crown Prince gay?

Gao Tian spoke, panting heavily: "Of course, I'm not a female insect either."

He was laughing, and Lan wanted to pinch him again.

Who taught you to talk like that?

"I am a human being from the distant Corona Borealis."

Suddenly, Gao Tian pointed to the sky and said loudly, "Does everyone know the distance between the Corona Borealis and the Corona Australis? One is in the north, and the other is in the south. They are extremely far apart, almost spanning the entire universe. If a wormhole hadn't suddenly connected the two sides, our two races might never have had the chance to meet in their entire lives."

The scene fell silent, and all the insects' eyes were fixed on him.

"We humans are a race with three main genders: beta, alpha, and omega."

"In the Zerg standard, a male Zerg is defined as a male with pheromones and glands, which is the same structure as our human alpha," Gao Tian said with a smile. "If the two have the same structure, both have pheromones, and their genes are roughly the same, then we can consider that an alpha is roughly equivalent to a male Zerg."

"How can this be equated?" Many insects in the audience muttered indignantly.

Gao Tian knew that there would definitely be a lot of conservatives who disagreed, but who the hell cares?

He smiled and dropped a bombshell: "We humans are predominantly male and female. Leaving aside those without pheromones, alphas with pheromones make up about 38% of the total population, while omegas make up about 2%. As you can see, the male-to-female ratio is already approaching 20:1, making it impossible to find a wife. The total human population is approximately 600 billion, so the number of alphas who cannot find an omega, that is, the number of males who cannot find a female, is roughly over 200 billion."

Gao Tian chuckled: "You flatter me. The gender imbalance among humans is also quite severe. In fact, in terms of sheer numbers, it might be even more pronounced among humans."

"Here, I sincerely hope that the Zerg can join forces with humanity to overcome the challenges of reproduction."

"May tonight's gathering become a cherished memory in our hearts, and may peace, love, and prosperity forever accompany our country and our people," Gao Tian said gently, smiling as he glanced down at the crowd below, microphone in hand.

……

After he finished speaking, there was no applause for a long time.

Because all the insects in the banquet hall felt as if they had misheard or were dreaming, they stared blankly up at him, lost in a daze.

Silence, still silence.

Just like when the Crown Prince had just entered, the banquet hall remained completely silent for a full half minute after Gao Tian finished speaking.

All insects are subject to a 30-second hard-lock effect based on this number.

What?

How many?

Two hundred billion?

What?

Male?

How many?

Two hundred billion?

The next second, sharp explosions erupted from every habitable planet in the Zerg Empire, across its entire territory!

—What?! Over 20 billion male insects?!?!?!?!?!

The advanced Zerg have difficulty reproducing; how many citizens does the Zerg Empire actually have?

It's only a few billion at most, never quite ten billion.

Of these, there are fewer than 100 million males.

What? Over 20 billion males?!

Good heavens, am I dreaming? The number of male Zerg has suddenly exceeded the total number of citizens in the entire Zerg Empire?

Really? Does that mean there are so many males that you can choose any one you want?

It wasn't just people online who were excited; the powerful figures from all walks of life in the banquet hall were so excited their hands were shaking.

The number of male insects is now too small, and the empire protects them very strictly. Even if they are the ruling insects of their respective races, they still have to listen to their male lord after marriage.

Since ancient times, wealth has been a powerful motivator. If the number of male insects increases, and they are all high-quality males, the Empire's protection of male insects will definitely decrease. Wouldn't that mean they could find more and exchange them as they please...?

Two other people were also shaking, but not from excitement, but from anger and fear.

The royalist leader, Speaker Invika, and the leader of the Xiongbao Association, Sevisma, both looked extremely grim.

Their current status largely depends on the scarcity of male insects.

If the empire's core strengths collapse overnight, their status will be no less than falling from the clouds to the mud overnight.

How could this happen? With over 200 billion high-quality male insects, why would something so outrageous occur?

They underestimated the Crown Princess, whose origins were shrouded in mystery.

Fireworks lit up the sky again.

It's another expensive star crystal.

The once pitch-black night sky burst open with colorful light, and the crystalline pink light flowed down like a waterfall of light, falling translucent tiny crystals wherever it went.

Under the colorful light, the Crown Princess turned her head and kissed the Crown Prince.

When the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince held hands, no one could remain unmoved by the scene.

In the radiant light that illuminated the entire empire, their shadows intertwined on the marble floor, like two intertwined branches, supporting each other, their roots deeply entwined.

Above the clouds, where no one can see them, two dim celestial bodies have just completed a century-long orbital correction and are shining brightly once again.

The souls of generations of monarchs, slumbering beneath the Grand Palace of Liernia, utter a sigh of contentment from the depths of nothingness.

The sigh transformed into a breeze carrying the scent of white roses and tuberoses, gently lifting the Crown Prince's hair and landing on the Crown Princess's shoulder.

……

……

After the Crown Princess gave her speech, everyone's gaze became intense and restless.

There are suddenly over 200 billion more male insects. There's no way we can distribute them all, but we still have to pick the best, right? And even the best ones are in high demand.

We must immediately inform the family to make preparations.

What do humans like?! We, the insects, are the ones who love humans the most!!!
