My evil self is completely unable to exert its power in the Zerg.

This book, filled with "heretical" ideas yet packaged as something sacred, was treasured by believers and called "Tangmen Bible".

A new branch of the Insect God cult, known as "Tang Xue," has quietly emerged both inside and outside the Vatican, with its slogan being "to practice the divine pronouncements of the Holy Son and pursue freedom and joy of body and mind." The number of believers is growing exponentially.

In a sense, Su Tang has successfully usurped the throne.

Meanwhile, the little male insect was sitting in the chariot heading to the next parish, flipping through the beautifully bound "Words of the Son" that Gelahead had "presented" to him.

He looked at the phrase "When you feel injustice, speak out like thunder," wagged his tail contentedly, and said to the Holy Knight Commander standing beside him like a rock, "No doubt about it, that's exactly what I said. It really seems profound! This guy understands me very well!"

Glahead: "..."

Glahead found it difficult to answer and could only remain silent.

Even though the Paladin Commander wasn't present at the time and couldn't watch the live stream, he listened to the replay on the StarNet.

Glahad felt that if self-confidence was a virtue, then His Holiness the Holy Son of the Insect God Cult must be a rare and highly respected figure in the world.

However, these minor flaws did not affect the Holy Son's status in the heart of this Paladin Commander. The tall female insect always felt that the Holy Son was lively, straightforward, lovable, pure, and kind.

As for being overly confident, that doesn't conflict with these wonderful qualities. Young male insects should be confident and outstanding, shining brightly in front of the whole world.

Glahad maintained a serious expression, but his eyes, hidden beneath the white silk, curved into a smile.

"Who compiled this booklet?" Before anyone knew it, the lively and energetic Holy Son had already leaned most of his body out of the carriage. "I, the Holy Son, will greatly reward him!"

And it would be best to catch this guy and make him your professional ghostwriter!

Su Tang's little abacus was clicking away, her large amber eyes sparkling as if you could see little stars inside.

Unfortunately, the paladin commander beside him was a blind man who didn't understand romance.

Grahide's face, covered by a white silk cloth, remained motionless, his deep, melodious voice utterly calm: "This is the essence of divine will that believers spontaneously comprehended out of gratitude for His Highness's grace. As for the catalogue, it was also compiled and distributed by them themselves. The expenses incurred throughout the event were raised voluntarily by believers, and after deducting taxes, the proceeds will be donated to charity..."

Su Tang: "..."

It turned out to be a group crime.

It seems his strategy of rallying his subordinates is destined to fail.

If Su Tang looked closely, she would notice that the usually serious paladin's long ears were bright red, clearly indicating that he was feeling somewhat guilty.

Because some of these proverbs were compiled by him.

Of course, Glahad was merely concealing the fact; it wasn't exactly lying.

But for a clergyman who has chivalry etched into his soul, such concealment would be enough to shame him.

After all, this was also a selfish motive of Glahad, a selfish motive that a paladin who guards the Holy Son and the Male Insect Lord should not have.

Su Tang had no idea what the tall female insect beside him was thinking; he was quite satisfied with the text in the entire book.

To make it easier for the general public with lower levels of education (this refers to the general insectoid population with limited education, not specifically to any particular male insectoid), the deluxe edition of the proverb book includes both modern insectoid language and interstellar common language translations below the ancient insectoid sayings. It even incorporates a floating electronic screen technology within the printed pages, allowing for interactive reading...

Su Tang's only complaint about the booklet was the illustrations!

The little male insect frowned, looking somewhat conflicted at his own face on the booklet cover, which had been photoshopped to look dignified, his skirt billowing high as if the wind were about to blow it onto his face, his two trembling little legs, and his taut tail hook...

So why put this ugly photo on the cover!

Even today, he still doesn't understand the Zerg's aesthetic sense.

Besides the paper version he had, there were also electronic versions of the booklet on the StarNet. Su Tang had already retrieved his new AI and contacted his female insect as soon as possible before consulting the book, which was said to be one of the greatest works of this century, "The Proverbs of the Holy Son: First Edition".

Then, as an empty-headed little male insect, he was not embarrassed by those "proverbs" adapted from his mouth. After all, he was the kind of guy who could distort the facts and boast about being able to "fight a hundred enemies alone" and "scare away insect-shaped marshals".

In fact, Su Tang was flattered and pleased by the praise from her followers, but unfortunately, the illustrations in the entire booklet were a major flaw.

They actually posted all the pictures of him wearing a skirt!

This is a book to be passed down for generations! How can we let his photo in a skirt be remembered for all time?

With so many insects around, isn't there even one who thinks it's strange that he's wearing a skirt?

Su Tang, not believing it, read through the comments for a long time and found that they were all unanimously positive, especially the star-patterned gauze and veil set worn when she was conferred the title, and the cheongsam and eyelid cover worn on the second day of the pilgrimage.

Some people started a poll in the comments section, and surprisingly, the two outfit illustrations received the same number of votes.

The veil has a particularly pure and holy feel, the starry fabric is very light, and the snow-white skirt looks white, straight, and soft!

You'd better be referring to the hem of the skirt.

The attire worn on the second day of the pilgrimage had a beautiful high slit; I thought it looked very sacred. Being blindfolded was even better—so civilized!

Yes, I was right below the stands at the time. Please rest assured, command, Her Highness's skirt has a safety line.

[To all scholars of the Tang Dynasty, this is a place for learning proverbs, so please stay cool and aloof!]

Of course, there are also dissenting voices:

[Doesn't anyone think the outfit worn on the fifth day at Flower Field Square was more sacred? Although the skirt was quite covered, there were cutouts at the waist, and, moreover, there was a... chest window! The chest window of the male insect! Those two misaligned buttons were a stroke of genius, who agrees? No arguments allowed!]

[What the person upstairs said is quite true. Even the king yearns for it; a hole in the waist can move even the gods!]

Su Tang vaguely remembered that the place they were going to was inhabited by cold-resistant insectoids, and the local temperature was rather cool. So, the designer had managed to provide a conservative yet warm holy robe that day.

The long sleeves are slightly lantern-shaped with gathered cuffs, and the skirt is a floor-length fishtail skirt, like a half-open trumpet flower. The collar is buttoned all the way to the top of the neck, and a few pearls are used to embellish the buttons and cuffs...

The design features only a few cutouts at the waist, but is covered with a transparent lining for warmth, making the whole garment look serious yet not too stiff.

Such a simple dress should have been lost among the many holy robes; even with some clever little touches, it wouldn't have been popular with the general public.

But the designers of the Holy Church never expected that His Highness the Holy Son would be such a stupid little worm who could even button his clothes wrong.

Although the male Zerg are all pampered, they are all self-sufficient. After all, they are even afraid to let female Zerg enter their living space, let alone allow them to serve or wait on them.

But Su Tang was different. Although he was also a male insect, he became a male insect halfway through his life. As soon as he arrived in the insect race, he was pampered and spoiled. At first, Rohart might not have been so attentive, but the little male insect had always lived a life where everything was done for him.

Later, the extremely controlling Klein came along. The female ruler was in charge of all the clothing and accessories. Even when the marshal was busy, she would instruct the other attendants to dress up the young male ruler properly.

Su Tang had a very tough time in the Holy Church. After all, the blind knights wouldn't serve him here, and he even had to dress himself!

Due to cultural differences, or rather, differences in lifestyle, the designer had no idea that this Holy Son was a complete idiot when it came to daily life. The string of tiny buttons on the clothes was originally for decoration and also for warmth, which caused Su Tang a lot of trouble.

She had already gotten up late that day and struggled with the buttons for a long time. With time running out and Grahide outside urging her, Su Tang angrily buttoned up a few buttons, but unexpectedly, she buttoned them up in the wrong place, turning her clothes into an open-fronted outfit.

But insects are beautiful, they look good no matter what they wear. Someone like Su Tang, even if she wore a burlap sack, would probably have a group of crazy believers chasing after her.

Aside from the already designed cutouts on the waist, the misalignment on the chest was also considered a design element by the temple attendants. Many attendants even privately complained that the designer was quite cunning, making His Highness the Holy Son dress like this—didn't they see many spirited paladins maintaining a serious and expressionless demeanor while escorting the carriage, their noses bleeding?

That's just too gorgeous!

It's a pity for some insects that didn't bring their eyes with them when they went out. They were on guard the whole way, but they didn't know where the smell of blood came from.

Su Tang stood there with her mouth open, her breasts barely visible, letting the wind blow through her all day.

Fortunately, the food at the Holy Church was good during this time, and with the extra meals provided by Glahad, Su Tang did not fall ill. Otherwise, the designer would have been unable to defend himself and would have been guilty beyond redemption.

Besides this set of openwork holy items, there are other holy robes such as cream puffs, lace long handbags, open-toed bell shoes, ribbon rope vests, etc., which satisfy the various preferences of the insect people and have won unanimous praise from all insect races!

But Su Tang was unhappy. Why did his uniform turn into a little skirt after he became the Holy Son?

Those wretched female insects! They have no idea how strange it is to wear a skirt, especially the female ones. They'd be so cold if the wind blew on them!

Although they are definitely more comfortable to wear than pants, the tail hook allows for much more freedom...

But that's no reason for him to be forever infamous for his photos in skirts! What if Klein and the others see them...?

No, it's fine for Klein and the others, but it wouldn't be good if Rohart saw them. Rohart still has one of the dresses he gave them!

Su Tang gritted her teeth and finally found a rebuttal among the many comments!

The reviewer believes that all the illustrations in the booklet are just for show and are not as sacred as the illustrations in a classic printed book.

The little male insect wholeheartedly agreed, liked the comment, and quickly had Glahead buy him a copy, which led to the scene described earlier.

After looking at the illustrations in the collector's edition of the book, Su Tang quickly went online, found the comment, unliked it, and disliked it in return.

What is that?!

At least the digital version of him is wearing a skirt, but the collector's edition paper version doesn't even have a butt flap hanging down his lower body!

The pilgrimage tour lasted for fifteen days and was broadcast live on StarNet by the church's official website.

The live stream title, "[Divine Grace and Pilgrimage of the Holy Son]", is glittering in gold, and the background music is sometimes a magnificent and sacred hymn, and sometimes a refreshing and peaceful hymn to the insect cubs.

However, the live stream content was full of absurd language that was out of place in the current context.

In the lens:

His Highness the Holy Son was wrapped in a gorgeous starry veil and sat in a dazzling crystal chariot, like an innocent and delicate insect puppet. The microphone was not turned on, so the netizens watching the live stream could only hear the background music. However, even a close-up of the little male insect's curious side profile could trigger a tsunami of comments.

When the time for preaching came, His Highness stood on the platform of holy light, trying his best to keep a straight face, and spoke the divine message in a soft voice. The believers were moved to tears, and some even "revolted" on the spot.

Every time a "divine revelation" is made, the live stream chat is immediately flooded with various "epiphanies," and at this moment, the vast majority of netizens feel the same way as the believers in the audience:

[Thanks to the Holy Son for the enlightenment! I just ordered a limited edition collector's item mecha model! Enjoying divine grace! May the Tang Clan live on forever!]

Freedom! Freedom of the soul! I'm quitting my job tomorrow to travel the stars! The Holy Son guides the way! Tangmen!

[Tangmen! I've got it! My boss is manipulating me? I'll fight back tomorrow! Long live the Holy Son!]

A group of enthusiastic fans with IDs like "Tangtang Baby's Most Obedient Old Darling," "His Highness the Holy Son's Little Tail," and "Tang Clan's Number One Thug" were frantically spamming the screen with comments:

[Believe in Tangmen, gain eternal life, and defy heaven, earth, and injustice!]

As the state religion, the Insect God Cult's live streams already had high viewership, but under Su Tang's influence, it soared even higher, as if riding an antimatter engine.

The gifts and tips poured in like a waterfall of stars, with various special effects exploding on the screen, reflecting the Holy Son's face, which was sometimes bewildered and sometimes trying to appear serious, in a dazzling array of colors.

Whenever the live stream starts and the screen is filled with the latest quotes from the "Tangmen Bible," there is always one extremely low-key account with no fancy effects, but whose ID has official gold badges such as "Imperial Quartermaster Department," "Imperial Staff Department," "Imperial Military Academy," and "Imperial Military Department X Regiment," which continuously spams the top-tier "Dreadnought-class Starship."

At this moment, the starship model, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen and bearing military insignia, slowly sailed past the live stream screen with an overwhelming aura that seemed to crush all small gifts, leaving behind a concise and powerful system announcement:

The Imperial Army's 7th Regiment gifted 10 Dreadnought-class starships to the "Divine Grace: Pilgrimage of the Holy Son" livestream! The message read: "All soldiers of the 7th Fleet respectfully heed the divine oracle of the Insect God. May the Holy Light shine eternally."

[This is a newbie's first time in this livestream, holy crap?! The military?! Official intervention?! Is this for real?!]

Here we go again, it's true, every day I have to mark my territory like Niao Niao (funny.JPG)

[Respectfully listening to the divine pronouncements of the Husband Insect? Whose Husband Insect? What's going on? The military is starting to believe in the Tang Clan too?!]

[Got it! Military confirmation: His Highness is indeed the God of Origin's favored son! As expected, our Tang Clan is the true heir!]

[Isn't it the military backing up their own marshal? Surely there are still some idiots who don't know that the marshal is the true ruler of the Holy Son! (doge.JPG)]

[Not necessarily, maybe the marshal himself is asserting his sovereignty (covers mouth and chuckles.JPG)]
