"Don't show mercy to enemies; strike them down in one blow," Krillin said, watching Shadao's high-speed movements.

Hearing Krillin's words, Shadao seemed to ponder them, his grip tightening. In moments, the hundred aliens were annihilated.

Below, the crowd watched Shadao kill the last alien and couldn't help but shout, "We won! We won!"

"We've defeated those evil invaders," many Mudball Star people cried, hugging each other.

Krillin slowly drifted towards a crevice in the distant rocks. "Stop playing dead and get up!"

Seeing Krillin drifting towards him, Shaz was filled with regret. Why did I even come here? I just provoked Lord Krillin. I'm doomed.

Shaz was terrified by Krillin's words and didn't dare to open his eyes.

"If you keep playing dead, I'll send you to meet your boss immediately," Krillin said playfully, looking at Shaz.

"Gulp." Shaz swallowed hard and immediately jumped down, kowtowing to Krillin. "Lord Krillin, I was wrong. Spare my life. I shouldn't have led Rick here." Shaz's legs trembled uncontrollably, his heart pounding in his throat.

"Well done. I won't kill you this time since you completed your mission so outstandingly," Krillin said, patting Shaz with a smile.

Shaz grew even more frightened. Is he going to kill me now?

Krillin turned and walked towards the crowd, with Shadao following behind him.

Shaz slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that Krillin wasn't paying attention to him, he hesitated. Should I run now?

After struggling for a long time, Shaz chose to walk towards Krillin.

Seeing Krillin and Shadao approaching, the crowd immediately ran over, shouting, "Long live Lord Krillin! Long live Shadao!"

Krillin smiled at the crowd, but Shadao looked a bit embarrassed. He had suddenly become a hero of the Mudball Star, and the drastic change in status was something he hadn't yet adjusted to.

Ian emerged from the crowd and called out to Krillin, "Lord Krillin, thank you for everything you've done for the Mudball Star. Please accept our most solemn ritual!"

Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of gazes turned devout, and they began chanting ancient and mysterious words. Krillin knew they were surely offering blessings to him.

After a long while, Ian stood up and walked before Krillin, respectfully asking, "Lord Krillin, what do we do next?"

"The aliens guarding here have been mostly dealt with. The rest is to rescue your remaining people!" Krillin said earnestly to Ian.

Hearing that his remaining people would be rescued next, Ian's expression became even more excited, and he quickly said to Krillin, "Yes!"

"Shadao, the aliens' spaceship is still there. We can use those ships to rescue your people."

"I'm here. Yes, Lord Krillin." Shadao quickly came forward from the crowd when he heard Krillin calling him.

Shadao personally selected nine outstanding tribesmen, who then piloted the spaceship into the sky.

"Wait for me! I'll bring all our people back!" Shadao shouted down to the crowd before flying into the spaceship.

Watching Shadao lead his tribesmen away, Ian felt a surge of joy. The Mudball Star would soon be rebuilt.

The alien spaceship was quite fast, and in moments, it arrived at Slave Zone 1.

"The boss is back, hurry and welcome him!" a dark-skinned alien said.

The boss is the boss. He resolved the rebellion in such a short time. When can I be like him? Thinking this, the alien quickened its pace.

A line of aliens stood in formation, ready to welcome their boss's landing.

"Lord Shadao, what do we do?" a Mudball Star person piloting the spaceship asked Shadao.

"What do you think? They're lined up like that, aren't they asking for it? Load the star cannon and blast them!" Shadao said fiercely.

"Captain, something seems wrong." An alien noticed the star cannon was aimed at them and asked the captain with some confusion.

"Huh?"

"I've discovered..."

"Boom! Boom! Clang!" A massive mushroom cloud rose. Before the alien could finish asking, it had turned into a pile of meat paste.

The Mudball Star people toiling below heard the loud noise, paused for a moment, and cast a glance at the sky with their clouded eyes before slowly lowering their heads to continue their work.

The spaceship landed in the center of Mine Area 1. Shadao and his tribesmen disembarked.

The tribesmen looked at the newcomers in confusion. How could their own people be coming out of alien spaceships?

Shadao took a deep breath, gathered his Ki, and shouted excitedly, "Tribesmen, we are saved! The invaders have been completely annihilated!"

Shadao channeled his Ki, his voice becoming incredibly loud, echoing throughout the entire slave zone. He didn't stop shouting until his Ki was completely depleted.

The entire mine fell into profound silence. Even though Shadao had stopped shouting, the echoes reverberated in everyone's hearts.

An old man stared blankly at Shadao, his tools falling to the ground unnoticed. Tears streamed down his cheeks.

The mine was completely silent now. The echoes of Shadao's shouts had faded, and only the rapid beating of hundreds of thousands of hearts could be faintly heard.

Suddenly, a sky-shattering roar erupted, shaking the dark clouds overhead. Birds and beasts in flight fell to the ground, spitting out lung tissue, their hearts and lungs completely shattered by the sound.

Two days later...

The last batch of tribesmen had been brought back, and the reconstruction of the Mudball Star was in full swing...

Each slave zone had a highly respected elder, and Ian, along with eight others, was responsible for the reconstruction efforts of the Mudball Star.

Shaz was working as a laborer, chopping down unknown crops. Once they were piled up like a small mountain, they would be delivered to the Mudball Star people responsible for construction.

Avila saw Shadao return and went to meet him with a sweet smile. "You must be tired, Brother Shadao." She then reached out her delicate hands to wipe the sweat from Shadao's brow, her eyes filled with adoration.

Shadao was overjoyed to see Avila upon his return. At that moment, Shadao stood frozen, unsure of what to do. Watching the petite Avila wipe the sweat from his brow, his heart felt warm, as if he had found family again.

The strength of unity is infinite. In just two days, the basic framework of their new home was built.

"Lord Krillin, the necessary preparations are complete. We can now pray to the Earth God and officially announce the rebuilding of our home," Ian reported respectfully to Krillin.

Krillin, unfamiliar with the aliens' customs, assumed it would likely be a meeting to announce the reconstruction of Dirt Clod Star to everyone.

Krillin smiled and nodded, saying, "Dirt Clod Star is about to embrace victory. Why not change its name to signify its rebirth?" Internally, Krillin vowed never to mention the name "Dirt Clod" again when traveling.

Everyone present strongly agreed with Krillin's suggestion, believing in the principle of "rising from the ashes."

The crowd struggled to think of a name better than Dirt Clod Star, so they turned to Krillin for advice.

Krillin pondered for a long time before mysteriously declaring, "Let's call it King Star!"

Upon hearing the name King Star, Ian and the other eight elders' eyes lit up. They wondered why they hadn't thought of it themselves!

"Great, it shall be called King Star," the nine of them said to Krillin with excitement.

After speaking, the nine glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Suddenly, the nine knelt before Shadao, saying, "Please, Shadao, accept the throne of King Star and lead our people to survival."

"Me? I can't!" Shadao stammered.

"How can I possibly be worthy of being the King of King Star? I'm only 250 years old, still so young!" Shadao hastily argued.

"The throne is rightfully yours. Only you can unite the people of the nine slave districts. Only you can bear the heavy responsibility of rebuilding King Star!" the nine explained to Shadao with great emotion.

Shadao looked embarrassed and turned to Krillin, seeking his opinion.

"Ian is not wrong. King Star needs a strong leader now, a king who can truly protect the entire race," Krillin said, gesturing for Shadao to accept the throne of King Star.

Seeing that Lord Krillin agreed, Shadao reluctantly nodded and said timidly, "Then, if I make any mistakes in the future, you mustn't blame me."

Upon seeing this, the nine quickly replied, "How could we dare to blame Your Majesty?"

Krillin: "As expected..."
