Chapter 1000: Cold Little Hands
How could it just be familiarity? He saw it every single day. At this very moment, for example, all he needed to do was look in the mirror.
Li Xiaofei had never imagined, not even in his dreams, that the so-called God of Evolution worshipped by countless ancient Reapers would actually be himself. He couldn't help but stand up and move closer for a careful inspection.
There was no mistake. Whether it was the facial features or the expression, everything looked exactly like him. The divine statue was him. Li Xiaofei couldn't make sense of it no matter how hard he tried.
When he had visited those ruins, the gods worshipped by the Reaper King-ranked clans had remained unclear. All the divine statues had been shattered, making it impossible to piece them back together.
Moreover, any historical records among the various clans regarding their deities had been thoroughly erased. It was as if some mysterious force had wiped this deity entirely out of existence.
The headless statue in the ancient city of the Ruò Iron Tribe had already been the most intact one. This kind of phenomenon was deeply abnormal. It was utterly strange and unsettling.
Yet now, what disturbed Li Xiaofei even more was the fact that this deity looked exactly like himself.
How could this be?
He couldn’t figure it out. A gentle breeze drifted by him. Li Xiaofei withdrew his gaze and steadied his thoughts. His eyes fell on the white beast hides atop the clay table. They were covered with writing.
As the daughter of a wealthy family, Si Kongxue’s handwriting used to be quite average, but now the characters on the beast hides appeared neat and forceful. Each stroke was clearly defined. Some areas even featured charming, whimsical little illustrations.
The contents on the beast hides were devoted to an introduction to the outside world, outlining some of the fundamental behavioral rules and orders within human society. They included customary norms and commonly acknowledged taboos. It was like a written code of conduct.
The moment Li Xiaofei read it, he understood that it had been prepared for their daughter. No matter how intelligent or gifted a child might be, she would inevitably grow wild if she were separated from human society for too long and raised in a secluded realm.
