mother of all races

"Well……"

Lin Xi, who was already far away from the temple, suddenly shivered.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there seemed to be terrifying screams coming from the direction he left before.

However, when he turned his head to look around, all he saw were the towering eaves of the temple and the dark shadows of the rising and falling temples.

"Don't be afraid."

Lin Xi's actions seemed to have misunderstood the people around him, and he heard someone mutter something softly to him.

It was a young servant boy, who seemed to be only a few years older than Lin Xi (thank God, Lin Xi finally learned to recognize the appearance of the Sunu people after inexplicably traveling to this indescribable ancient Sunu society) .

At this moment, it is hunched over, putting on brand new clothes for others who have just climbed out of the cold pool.

Well, to say that it is clothes, it is better to say that it is a whole long piece of cloth.

There is no pattern on the cloth. It is rolled up from the waist, then taken down from the shoulders, and finally fixed by a wooden button.

Most of Lin Xi's chest and arms were exposed, and the feeling of being empty and cold under the cloth robe was also very uncomfortable. He curled up slightly uncomfortably, and he was still a little distracted.

If this is a nightmare, why is this nightmare still not waking up?

Lin Xi thought painfully in her heart.

"it does not matter……"

The servant boy obviously misunderstood Lin Xi's current situation again, he raised his head slightly and said to Lin Xi with pity.

"Our Lord Star God has always been very kind. He is always very clear when performing divine marriages. He won't... won't drag on for too long..."

He lowered his voice and said quickly.

Dally too long?

Lin Xi looked at him blankly, still not knowing why.

And the servant boy stared at Lin Xi for a while, and he showed a slightly envious expression.

"And you are very beautiful. According to the records, the star gods have always preferred this kind of skin color and eyes—" The voice of the young servant boy was almost a whisper at first, but gradually became more tactful and high-spirited, "...after a long exchange In the overlapping time and time and space, in the ancient past, the long black hair and black eyes of the mother of insects were the eternal love of the star god, the great and noble mother of all insects, who gave life to chaos, Given the soul and love of the Star God, no matter how time passes, no matter how broken time and space are, the Star God will eventually find his bride, and the Star God will eventually give his all for Him..."

Lin Xi stood there in a daze, and he couldn't figure out why the kind servant boy beside him suddenly started singing a long-pitched song after talking.

"Actually, I just want to know, what is a divine marriage...?"

But at any rate, the page boy beside him was by far the kindest to him of all.

He asked tentatively in an attempt to figure out the current situation, but in the end he didn't get the answer he wanted.

Because at the same time he asked that sentence, he saw with his own eyes that the pity and sympathy in the servant boy's eyes became deeper and deeper.

"That was just a ceremony, in order for the Star God to find his beloved lost in various fragments of time and space..."

Hearing words such as "time" and "space" in the mouth of the servant boy, Lin Xi's eyes lit up and became more interested, but the servant boy never said anything nutritious.

On the contrary, after hearing the servant boy's comforting words to Lin Xi, the companion around him couldn't help sobbing again as if he had been greatly stimulated.

The cries of the group of young Sunu teenagers around Lin Xi quickly attracted the attention of the older monk. He rushed towards this side, and then patted the kind boy on the back with a magic stick.

"The star god's name and deeds must not be spoken in vain!"

the monk yelled at the young man.

After he left, the servant shrank his neck, and his mouth suddenly became as tight as a clam shell.

Lin Xi originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this point, she could only imitate the other party and keep her mouth shut.

All kinds of cumbersome procedures that made Lin Xi feel disgusted and tired were still going on step by step.

After being forced to put on a robe, Lin Xi was pushed and pushed into another luxurious and tall temple together with others.

The furnishings here are extremely exquisite and luxurious, but the light is extremely dim.Stained windows decorated with graceful vine patterns are located high on the wall near the top of the temple.

Numerous exquisite tapestries hang from the ceiling to the ground.

Some older monks came in, and they checked the Sunu boys who had been driven into the temple one by one, muttering something.

Immediately afterwards, they bowed down towards the exquisite and magnificent sculpture on the other side of the temple.

Lin Xi also made the same movement with the others, but only after looking up did he realize that the sculpture...is a huge insect.

Lin Xi admitted that her legs were almost weak when she saw the sculpture.Because the sculpture is too realistic, whether it is the huge head, complex and detailed compound eyes, or the ferocious mouthparts, or the huge wings that are almost more than ten meters long, they are all carved lifelike.Even the color of the horrific insect was painted out. On the edges of the wings, those round eyespots shone with tiny light from time to time, which looked like they were inlaid with countless precious stones.

"Ah, it's Xingdie."

Lin Xi muttered softly, but he quickly realized that this was not a sculpture of a star butterfly, but a sculpture of a "star god"—just like what Lin Xi knew on Earth, the star butterfly on the planet Sunu The sculpture is indeed exactly the same as the insect called "star butterfly".

As for the "Star Butterfly", it is by no means a very beautiful creature. Strictly speaking, it is not only ugly but also evil, but if you look closely, every detail of it reveals a strange meaning...

Fascinating, or rather, beautiful.

The initial ugliness turned into an indescribable attraction after careful observation.

While feeling trembling all over, he couldn't help staring at those ferocious, sharp and terrifying organs, and then... his whole soul seemed to be pulled bit by bit into the star god's huge compound eyes.

Then, they were tightly and tightly wrapped by the pair of thin and exquisite wings—finally, they were allowed to spit out pale golden silk threads, forming thick cocoons outside their bodies.

……

Lin Xi stared blankly at the sculpture of the Star God with her head up, and was fascinated unconsciously.

Forest--

It wasn't until someone gently pulled his wrist that he came back to his senses in a trance.Turning around, he found that the Sulu teenagers around him were all looking at him with shocked eyes.

You actually looked directly at the Star God?

Someone beside him said in disbelief.

And soon Lin Xi noticed that not far from him, those temple monks who always had expressionless faces and dark, empty eyes were also staring at him intently.

Lin Xi's body suddenly stiffened.

He had a little suspicion that he had done something wrong again, the way those people looked at him was extremely strange.

This uneasy feeling reached its peak when the monks started whispering directly in front of his face.

Soon, Lin Xi's ominous premonition came true.

Those monks took them out of the temple directly.

"crunch-"

Lin Xi could hear the gate of the temple being closed heavily behind him, and those Sunu boys were left far behind by him.

"Sorry, I... I won't dare to..."

It would be a lie to say that he was not flustered. Ever since he was whipped by a monk last time, what Lin Xi was most afraid of was that the world he lived in had no punishment for human rights.

That severe pain was almost more terrifying than death.

"Oh, no... no..."

What surprised Lin Xi was that the monk, who had always seemed aloof in his impression, seemed extraordinarily amiable when facing Lin Xi this time.

"We just think you're very... special."

The monk explained vaguely.

"If we're lucky, maybe this time we'll be able to see in you... God's family, if that's the case, your family and your village will be proud of you." After a pause, he added, " The children who come with you will also thank you for your presence."

The more amiable the monk was, the more Lin Xi felt that something was wrong.

It's just that in such a world, his feelings and emotions are just irrelevant existences. Even if those monks put on an amiable appearance to him now, this objective reality will not change.

Lin Xi was quickly taken by the group of monks to the depths of the endless temple complexes.

There is also a temple here, only smaller and more beautiful.

Immediately afterwards, silent waiters appeared, and they took Lin Xi from the monk's hand.

"This is the child."

An old man was surrounded by waiters and came to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi subconsciously wanted to struggle, but at this moment, he was shocked to find something strange about the old man—the pupils embedded in the old man's eye sockets were not human pupils at all, but light brown insects protruding outwards compound eyes.

Lin Xi was so frightened that he couldn't move in an instant.

The old man stared at Lin Xi and let out a weird and short laugh.

"...You said that he can look directly at the sculpture of the Star God."

"That's right, we saw him staring at the great and lofty statue of the Star God with his own eyes, fascinated by it."

"No, I-"

Now Lin Xi is really sure that her reckless behavior has caused herself a big trouble.

It's just that before his excuse could even come out, his mouth was gagged.

"Then we should prepare carefully for him."

Lin Xi heard the old man say this in a calm tone.

Then someone forced his throat and poured some thick liquid into his body.

Lin Xi didn't know what it was, but his instinct told that it might not be a good thing.

Soon, Lin Xi found that his body became weak and weak, as if he had swallowed a large ball of flames from his chest to abdomen, and became extremely hot.

He grunted and fell to the ground.

Of course, those well-trained waiters around him couldn't really make him fall.

They directly held Lin Xi and took him to the small and beautiful temple.

"Good boy, this is the supreme treasure, the milk of the gods. If you are truly blessed by the gods, the earth milk will help you release your original breath."

The old man stroked Lin Xi's forehead lightly, and he grinned, showing a smile that only appeared in the scariest nightmare.

"Do not……"

Lin Xi said painfully in Sulu.

When he couldn't exert any strength at all, the simple white cloth on his body was ripped off mercilessly by them.

"What is this for..."

Lin Xi asked in panic.

"To prepare you, don't be afraid."

The waiter beside him said happily.

Immediately afterwards, they decorated Lin Xi, who had no ability to resist and did not wear any clothes. The viscous purple sap of an unknown insect was mixed with thick gold powder, and then colored with this golden purple color. The juice drew complex lines on Lin Xi's palms, wrists and abdomen.

Huge gems were inlaid in gold, and then hung on Lin Xi's earlobe and chest.Then there are countless various golden ornaments, which are spread on Sunu's thin body bit by bit.

After doing all this, Lin Xi could only slump on the floor weakly, almost out of breath under the pressure of those jewels and gold.

But the old man and the monks seemed very satisfied with what they had done. They stood a little further away and looked at Lin Xi.Lin Xi could feel their hot gazes wandering along his body, which made him feel a chill.

"Don't be afraid, we are adorning you to suit the god's liking - it will make your life easier. The star god loves shiny and gorgeous things. Many times, it will collect these decorations and bring them to the gods. place decorations. Don’t worry, it’s for your own good, because most of the time the star gods don’t like our blood on the decorations.”

blood?Why...is there blood?

Lin Xi opened his eyes wide, and he stared straight at the nasty old man and monk.But the viscous stuff he drank before is working in his body, even though his heart is full of resentment, fear and confusion.But his mind inevitably began to cloud, and he fell asleep to the drawn-out songs of the monks.

Lin Xi had a long dream.That dream was so long that it seemed to have experienced the birth and death of a universe.In the endless darkness and time, countless grotesque and fragmented fragments passed before his eyes.In some clips, he saw a spaceship crashing on a dark and evil planet. A pale young man wandered desperately in the ruins of the spaceship, followed by countless wriggling creatures. Horror insects; in some dreams, he saw a familiar young man, while collecting wind in an ancient village, he was pulled deep underground by ancient sculptures that suddenly came to life, and never returned to the ground since then; In some dreams, he saw affectionate couples cuddling each other, but after a deep sleep, slender and sharp tentacles grew from the back of the young lover; in some dreams.It was the same pale young man who stumbled into the poor underground clinic, wailing and asking the frightened doctor to take out the wriggling things in his stomach...

One dream after another.Sometimes Lin Xi even feels that she is the person in her dream...

And at the end of those dreams, without exception, Lin Xi would see the same monster.

It will use its sharp insect limbs to tightly bind Lin Xi, and then wrap itself and Lin Xi together with its huge wings covered with terrifying patterns.

The golden silk thread formed a strong and fine net around them one by one.

They melted in that golden cocoon, and then reopened their eyes in another dream——

Forest--

It seemed that there was a strange and hoarse voice coming from a distant place.

In the depths of the temple, Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Well……"

The aftertaste of the dream lingered in his mind, and for a while, he couldn't even tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.

That illusory feeling was almost the same as when he suddenly woke up in this strange and ancient world.

Thank goodness, the jewelry that weighed heavily on her finally brought Lin Xi back to her senses.

The effect of the damned medicine gradually faded. Lin Xi gathered some strength and got up very reluctantly. Only then did he find that he was placed on an unbelievably wide stone bed. In addition to the gold, silver and jewelry that got in the way, the gaps in this stone bed were also filled with shining gems and gold.

There was only silence in the temple, and the light was very dark, except for the faint light of the two faint candles above the stone bed.Lin Xi maintained his original posture and carefully observed his surroundings. Apart from the sound of his breathing, there was really no movement here - there seemed to be no other guards outside the temple.

So... if possible, he might be able to use this opportunity to escape from this goddamn temple?

Once this thought arises, there is no way to extinguish it.

Panting, Lin Xi propped up his body and moved towards the edge of the stone bed, but the moment he tried to jump off the stone bed, his neck tightened suddenly.

Lin Xi was almost dragged to the back of his breath. After finally recovering, he raised his hand in disbelief and stroked his neck. Then he realized that the heavy thing on his neck was not a necklace, but a necklace. A collar made of some kind of precious metal—like a dog collar, with a heavy chain on the back.

"Crack..."

It was not only his neck that was shackled, but also his wrists and ankles.The only difference is probably that the shackles on the limbs look thinner, and they are inlaid with large gemstones with strong taste and rich color.

"These bastards..."

Lin Xi took a deep breath, he had to force himself to calm down.

Those damn Sunu people not only stunned him with drugs, but also put such heavy shackles on his body - Lin Xi didn't think it was just for fun or some kind of bad taste.

Especially considering what those monks said earlier...

Lin Xi's face gradually lost color.

He tried his best to recall the information about Sunu that he had learned on the earth, but for some reason, the memory about the earth seemed to be melted by something, and became abnormally blurred.

A strange sense of panic gradually spread in Lin Xi's heart.

"Do not……"

he muttered to himself.

Obviously I still remember...

He should have a brother, his brother is called... what is it...

Is he... what... person?

The harder Lin Xi tried to recall, the more painful his head became.

In the end, this headache even spread from his head all the way to his back and then his abdomen.

The feeling as if his internal organs were being burned by fire spread throughout his body again.The strength that Lin Xi had accumulated with great difficulty before disappeared in an instant.

His body trembled suddenly, and then fell back heavily on the stone bed.

"Woooo..."

A painful sob escaped from his tightly closed lips.

Then... the light gradually brightened.

Lin Xi stared blankly at the top of her with her eyes open.

Those two faint red light spots, like candle flames, gradually began to change, turning into the eyes of some kind of huge creature.

The circular markings protrude from the shadows little by little, and the fluorescence they emit can even allow Lin Xi to see clearly the entire appearance of "Him" floating above the temple.

That is... Star Butterfly.

Lin Xi thought dazedly.

A living star butterfly.

It only takes one glance to recognize this - no matter how vivid and lifelike the sculptures he saw in the temple before, the sculptures are still sculptures.

The sculpture is completely different from the real star butterfly.

The near-evil ugliness and extreme coquettishness are intertwined, evil, darkness, nothingness, madness... These elements together constitute this terrifying creature.

But now, the creature was flapping its wings and slowly landing towards him.

Now, Lin Xi can even see countless reflections of herself in its compound eyes.

He could also smell the damp and cold smell on Xingdie's body.

He could even clearly see the milky white saliva slowly flowing out of Xingdie's ferocious mouthparts.

"Lin... Lin... Lin..."

What's even more frightening is that Lin Xi even heard its call.

It was some sort of human voice, rough and odd.

But there is also an indescribable ecstasy and infatuation in it.

"Woooooooo..."

Lin Xi heard a whimper, and it took him a long time to realize that it was actually his own crying out of fear.

His eyes gradually darkened.

It was Xingdie who was slowly wrapping him with its wings...

The scene of deja vu made Lin Xi a little dazed.

Lin Xi's breathing gradually began to become heavy, because the wings of the star butterfly were gradually tightening - a layer of light golden silk thread gradually formed outside, then tightened little by little, solidified, and formed a strong cocoon shell.

"Forest……"

He heard Xingdie muttering in his ear.

The calm and joyful voice was unexpectedly familiar.

"finally found you."

he said.

that's not star butterfly

——This was Lin Xi's last thought before his consciousness fell into darkness.
