When an alien ambassador crash-lands in Tim's backyard and demands, 'Take me to your leader,' the 12-year-old does what any kid would do: he points to himself and says, 'That’s me. I’m the King of Earth.' Now, thanks to a hastily signed treaty (and a promise to hand over Jupiter), Tim’s got an armory of world-ending alien tech, an invulnerable Planetary Base in his backyard treehouse, and one tiny problem: nobody told him ruling a planet would be this hard. Between conquering Earth, fending off hostile fleets, outsmarting intergalactic bureaucrats, and explaining his absences to his Trekkie dad, Tim’s in way over his head. But if he can’t bluff his way through alien diplomacy fast, humanity might end up as collateral damage. "King of All I Survey" is a fun, heart-pounding sci-fi adventure where one kid’s lie decides the fate of Earth—and homework is nothing compared to intergalactic war.

On the day I was seven months pregnant, Alaric proposed to his pure love. That woman took off the ring Alaric had placed on her finger himself and tossed it into the sea. "Alaric, I heard Miss Langdon used to be a state swim team champion. Why don't you have her jump in and fetch my ring for me?" Her finger traced Alaric's pecs as she breathed into his ear, "I'll play any game you want tonight." Alaric's heated gaze roamed over her legs, then he turned to me with a smirk. I understood his meaning and frantically clutched my belly, pleading, "Alaric, I'm seven months pregnant, and it's winter..." But Alaric just swallowed hard and scoffed, "You don't actually think I care about that bastard in your belly, do you? It's not like you haven't miscarried before. Why act all precious now? Jump in and find that ring, or you're never coming back up!" He had someone forcibly lift me and throw me into the sea. I bobbed up and down in the frigid water, searching back and forth for hours. Until I felt something draining from my belly, until the azure sea water was stained with a streak of crimson... I looked up at the scene on the cruise ship, where Alaric was marrying his pure love amid the cheers of the crowd, and my heart finally shattered. Seven years of marriage, nine miscarriages, this was the last time.

One day, a strange hand suddenly appeared inside Chi Wan’s interdimensional space. Its owner claimed to be living in the apocalypse—starving, desperate—and begged to trade anything he had for food. Chi Wan stared at the pile of Imperial Green jade, oversized diamonds, and dozens of kilograms of gold bars he offered… and fell into deep thought. …Wasn’t this a little too profitable? From then on, her connection to the apocalypse only grew stronger. The mysterious man—who turned out to be a powerful figure—used his Wood Ability to help her revive rare orchids, cultivate endangered plants, and even harvest zombie crystal cores for the country. As for Chi Wan? She only had three responsibilities: feed him, feed him, and keep feeding him. Somehow, without realizing it, a group of extraordinary men began to gather around her: A genius research scientist. An aloof, abstinent CEO. A cold and ruthless Soldier King… In front of Chi Wan, they were gentle, attentive, and impeccably polite—each trying to outshine the others. Behind her back? They were one step away from tearing each other apart. Meanwhile, on the other side of the spatial link… The so-called King of the Apocalypse clenched his teeth in silence as he listened to these men compete for her attention. As for Chi Wan? “I’m busy getting rich and supporting my family,” she said calmly. “A battle royale of suitors? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Until one day— An absurdly handsome man appeared at the gates of her villa… carrying a sack filled with gold and jewels. “I’m here to marry into your family,” he declared. Chi Wan glanced at him, then at the newly connected wasteland world inside her space… …and once again fell into deep thought.

While training in a Secret Realm, Ning Xuan was accidentally sucked into a spatial rift. Under the protection of the Spirit Plant Ghost-faced Red Vine, her soul body escaped the spatial rift and arrived in a strange world, possessing the body of a young girl who had been murdered and had no spiritual power. In the process of obtaining the original owner's identity information, Ning Xuan was detected to have an awakened spiritual power. According to Federation law, all Spirit Controllers with awakened spiritual power must have their genetic information collected for compatibility matching. Because her compatibility was too high, Ning Xuan subsequently received 5 mandatory Contract messages. However, her Contractors, disliking her for her low Spiritual Power Level, all chose to hide their own information.
