“Song Yiran! Song Yiran! I found it! I know why human-born children sometimes regress into animal-like forms!”

555 suddenly rushed over, excitedly telling Song Yiran about the information he had just discovered.

Song Yiran was stunned by 555’s speed. “Oh my god, you’re amazing! So… why is that?”

555 proudly explained the top-secret material he had uncovered. “Hehe! This information is classified top-secret, protected by layers of firewalls! But for me, it’s nothing!

Listen, you would never guess—these interstellar humans all evolved from beastmen!

Most of the children they gave birth to appear human at birth, but their beastmen bloodline awakens when they reach adulthood.

However, some special children are born with the ancestral traits already active—they only develop human forms after reaching adulthood. These children are therefore called Beast-Formers.

As social discrimination against Beast-Formers grew, this name gradually disappeared, replaced by a derogatory term: ‘inferior species.’

Although these interstellar humans evolved from beastmen, they are a completely different species; there’s no sense of shared lineage.

To give you an analogy, it’s like the difference between humans and monkeys on your Blue Star.

Beastmen on Beastman Planet, however, are born in beast form and remain in beast form as adults—they do not have human forms.”

After hearing this, Song Yiran frowned. Something didn’t feel right. “This material seems to just describe the origin of the species.

But why would such ordinary information be top secret? Could there be some hidden truth in it?”

Song Yiran thought for a moment and asked 555, “Besides this, did you find any other top-secret materials?”

“Of course! I dug up all the sealed top-secret data~

Hehe, I’m a high-tech system, a mere firewall is nothing to me~

Wait a moment, I’ve only gone through that one document so far. I haven’t had time to check the rest. Let me see what the other materials say… Wait a second…”

555 seemed to see something shocking. His little bean-shaped eyes widened, and he cupped his tiny hands to his cheeks in disbelief. “Song Yiran… these interstellar humans are so… ruthless…”

Song Yiran swallowed and anxiously asked, “What does the material say?”

555 cleared his throat and began to recount the sealed history of this planet.

This planet was once a Beastman Planet, until one day, a beastman completed the final evolution. She became the first interstellar human in this universe.

Her emergence marked the dawn of a new era. Soon, the other beastmen on this planet gradually evolved into interstellar humans.

The first evolved interstellar human led the others to an unclaimed planet and established the Interstellar Empire.

She became the first ruler of the empire, possessing a strong body and formidable willpower. At the same time, she was a wise scholar.

She single-handedly advanced interstellar technology, accelerating the development process by 200 years through her efforts alone.

At that time, the Interstellar Empire was at its peak, the strongest empire, far ahead in technological progress.

People of that era described the ruler this way: “She is the undisputed sovereign, unmatched in skill and unparalleled in wisdom.”

The ruler governed the empire efficiently. During her reign, the economy reached its zenith, and the military far outclassed other planets’ nations.

But after her death, everything rapidly declined.

The successor she had chosen died mysteriously just days after taking the throne, and the next ruler was a child under the age of five.

The young ruler was far too young, giving the nobles an excuse to seize the powers of the throne.

From then on, the upper echelons of the Interstellar Empire were firmly in the hands of the nobles.

Afterward, the nobles suppressed the Beast-Formers, fearing the rise of another powerful Beast-Former like the founding ruler.

Yes, the founding ruler was a Beast-Former. Her birth was unique: she hatched from an egg.

Upon hatching, she looked like a normal beastman, but by the age of 85, she developed a human form.

Beast-Formers were far superior to ordinary people—their bodies were stronger, intelligence higher, and willpower greater.

To give an analogy, it’s the difference between an ordinary person and a genius. Beast-Formers were the geniuses.

Beast-Formers started far ahead and had a much higher ceiling. Once such talented individuals matured, no one could predict what might happen.

The founding ruler was a Beast-Former, and so was the successor she chose.

Although the throne succession did not follow bloodlines—anyone could be selected as heir—most of the nobles were ordinary people.

In terms of talent and ability, they couldn’t compare to the Beast-Formers.

But the nobles coveted the throne. So, they went all in: they murdered the heir, disguised her death as sudden natural causes, and placed an ordinary person on the throne.

The five-year-old ruler who was crowned became a puppet in the hands of the nobles.

From then on, the nobles actively suppressed all Beast-Formers.

They feared that if Beast-Formers grew powerful, they would be overthrown. So they crushed them mercilessly.

No matter how intelligent or strong, if you were a Beast-Former, you would never get a chance to rise.

Even though Beast-Formers had superior bodies, higher IQs, and stronger willpower, their numbers were too few.

One person facing the oppression of thousands—or even tens of thousands—would be crushed, no matter how talented.

After thousands of years of development, the interstellar empire gradually declined. What was once a mighty empire became an ordinary one, and eventually the empire dissolved, giving way to the interstellar society we have today.

Technological progress slowed down, and the military sector also gradually fell into decay. The glory of its peak era never returned.

This once-powerful nation, with the passing of that monarch, inevitably fell into decline.

However, the suppression of the beast-shifters did not ease; on the contrary, it intensified, evolving into the situation we see now.

Beast-shifters were no longer regarded as prodigies by the public. Instead, they came to symbolize the abnormal and ominous, being labeled as the disgraceful “inferior breed.”

Song Yiran frowned as he listened to this long-forgotten history. He was so frustrated he felt like laughing in anger.

“Are these nobles out of their minds? Just for such ridiculous reasons, the entire empire declined!

They ignored capable people and chose to suppress them! I really can’t understand what goes on in their heads!”

“Greedy for power, of course. They cherish that little bit of power like it’s some kind of treasure, terrified that a beast-shifter might come and snatch it away. These interstellar humans are truly… despicable, absolutely despicable!”

Although 555 had heard plenty of similar stories from colleagues before, he still had to say it: these people were truly despicable!

“Sigh… 555, what was the name of that monarch again?”

555 flipped through the records. “Let me see… Got it! Her name was ‘Mang’!

By the way, during her reign, she was called the ‘Invincible Monarch.’ She personally led many battles, annexing numerous planets into the interstellar empire, and never once suffered a defeat.”

Song Yiran sighed. “If only she were still around… Such a legendary monarch… The empire she built single-handedly ultimately fell into decline…”

He pressed his lips together. “I wonder, if that monarch were still alive, what would she think seeing the empire in its current state?”

555 thought for a moment. “I think she would storm into the homes of those nobles and wipe them out.

Then she’d reclaim the throne, rebuild the nation, use her thunderous methods to straighten it out, and restore it to its former peak glory.”

“Oh my god, just imagining it is so exciting! If only she were still here!” 555 cupped his little face and lamented.

Song Yiran also felt a pang of regret. If only that legendary monarch hadn’t passed away.

If someone so legendary were still alive, where might the empire have gone back then?

Perhaps it could really have ruled the universe.

The children were quiet—definitely up to something.

Song Buli reluctantly looked toward Song Yiran. He couldn’t linger any longer.

It was time for him to leave.

Song Buli turned and walked toward the orphanage gate. Song Yang hesitated, then followed him.

Song Fu stayed behind, refusing to leave. Song Buli noticed Song Fu hadn’t followed and had to turn back to bring him along.

Song Fu silently stared in the direction of Song Yiran. Song Buli patted his tail. “You understand, right? If we stay here, we’ll only be a burden to him.”

Song Fu didn’t speak. He stood silently, like a statue.

Song Yang came over and sighed. “If Sister Saika weren’t here today, he would have personally run into those people. He couldn’t beat them, and neither could we. All of this is because of us. If we continue staying by his side, we’ll only cause him trouble.”

“But… he said he’s our brother, that we’re a family…” Song Fu hesitated in his tone.

Song Buli’s expression darkened. He frowned. “So you want to insist on staying because of his kindness, and cause him trouble?

We’re not related by blood. He has no obligation to take care of us. Even blood relations aren’t always reliable—let alone someone with no blood connection.

He’s just being kind. He doesn’t want to see us starve, so he’s willing to take care of us. But we’ll only bring him trouble. And when the trouble piles up, what will he do?

Should he suffer just because of his kindness?

Even if he doesn’t mind the trouble, what about you? Can you bear to cause him trouble?

He’s the only person who’s ever treated us this well. Can you bear to trouble him?

You’ve seen it yourself—he’s poor, he has very little money, and the orphanage doesn’t have much either. Without us, he would live a much easier life.”

“I understand…” Song Fu lowered his head and followed Song Buli and Song Yang toward the gate.

After finishing his conversation with 555, Song Yiran planned to calm the children who had been frightened today. But as soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw his little ones sneaking toward the orphanage gate.

Seeing this, Song Yiran’s mental radar went off wildly. Not good! His kids were trying to run away!
