I was brainstorming subclass ideas for warlock and then I thought: the patron is an otherworldly patron, so would an alien overlord be a viable patron for a warlock? Because then I could make a homebrew race, and the deal could be that he gives me an unlimited lifespan and some other nice powers and features :), I give him the rest of my race. I would send them into abduction and sacrifice them over a volcano or something? Mechanically would this work and would this be a good idea? Thanks,

Probably Green Men. Not gonna lie and I didn’t actually know that the great old one was an alien patron, but I just read the description of it and it sounds more like an overlord from a different plane (it doesn’t mention other planets) so this patron would be an extraterrestrial patron. Their power world probably come from technology and less knowledge.
That could be fun ! What kind of technological power could they have ?
Here's a first draft:
The Techno-Lord
The Techno-Lord is an alien overlord from a distant galaxy, who has mastered the art of technology and has the power to grant immortality. As a warlock, you have made a pact with this otherworldly patron, gaining access to advanced technology and an extended lifespan.
Techno-Lord Expanded Spells
At 1st level, the Techno-Lord lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Spell Level
Spells
1st
Detect Magic, Identify
2nd
Heat Metal, Magic Weapon
3rd
Glyph of Warding, Protection from Energy
4th
Fabricate, Leomund’s Secret Chest
5th
Animate Objects, Creation
Technological Savant
Starting at 1st level, your patron grants you proficiency in the Tinker’s Tools and the ability to cast the Mending cantrip.
Alien Resilience
Starting at 6th level, your patron’s advanced technology enhances your body, granting you resistance to poison damage and advantage on saving throws against poison and disease.
Techno-Transcendence
At 10th level, your patron grants you the secret of immortality. You no longer age and you can’t be aged magically. You are immune to disease.
Overlord’s Arsenal
At 14th level, you can use your action to summon a piece of advanced alien technology, such as a weapon or a defensive device. The specifics of this feature should be discussed with your DM.
Just swap out leomund’s secret chess cuz I can’t use because it don’t wanna pay for it.
But other than that this is pretty good. This is would be INSANE with pact of the blade so you can magic up a laser sword and then make it ur pact weapon and then pile on the eldritch invocations and it would deal OP damage.

What kind of alien exactly ? Like the Great Old Ones by H.P. Lovecraft's or more like little green men ?

Have you ever played the XCOM games? They have some alien overlords with psionic power that could make a good patron.
No I have not.
Also the extraterrestrial is an idea for a warlock subclass I’m homebrewing. I just need people’s opinions on it.

Glad you like this first draft !
We could replace Leomund’s Secret Chest by Arcane Eye. Animate Objects could also be considered.

That sounds good!
I can’t wait to use this!
