I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 156 - 151: Letter from Nanshan Country

Night!

In the capital city of Nanshan Country, far from Yidu, on the outskirts, an imposing Divine Hall with a modern aesthetic stands halfway up the mountain.

However, unlike ordinary days when countless followers would trek up the mountain at night to offer incense, pray, and worship, today the Moon God Sect's main church is particularly deserted.

Every three steps, there is a post, every five steps, a patrol, guarded by soldiers wielding guns.

In a Divine Hall large enough to accommodate thousands, a statue over a hundred meters tall in a luxurious white robe stands on a high platform, its white jade sculpted features solemn and holy.

Below, more than three hundred young men and women stand in queues, looking at the majestic statue on the platform, their gazes fervent and devout.

At the same time, on both sides beneath the statue, stood dozens of figures donning blue and red luxurious Divine Robes, exuding indistinct Extraordinary auras.

At this moment, an elderly priest slowly spoke: "Remember, when the Moon God bestows the blessing later, keep your mind steady, and silently recite the divine decree to enhance the awakening probability."

"Yes, High Priest." More than three hundred men and women bow their heads respectfully.

Then no one spoke again. The large Divine Hall atmosphere was solemn and dignified, time slowly ticked away, and gradually the jade-carved statue began to glow, emitting a gentle light.

Buzz!

A terrifying force revived within the statue, the crescent moon mark on its forehead emitting a dazzling white light, as if a substantial moonlight shrouded the hundreds of people below.

Boom! Everyone's minds boomed and trembled, with visions of a hellish battlefield of corpses and blood seeping into their brains, when suddenly the sky tore open, revealing a full moon hung high.

Roar, roar, roar!! Suddenly dozens of people let out inhuman roars, their bodies twisting, mutating, sprouting hideous tentacles and sharp bone spurs.

The speed of metamorphic mutation was astonishing; within less than a minute, hundreds of grotesque monsters roared and howled in the vast Divine Hall.

However, even though these people mutated into monsters, they couldn't move under the moonlight, while in the midst of these monsters, four figures slowly floated up.

Behind these four individuals, a round moon halo slowly appeared.

Watching this scene, some of the priests showed excitement and enthusiasm on their faces, while others' gazes darkened.

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the Longshan Mining Group's dormitory, Qin Buyi had just finished his work and returned to his room when his phone buzzed and a video call notification appeared.

"Natalie!"

Seeing the video ID, the fatigue disappeared from Qin Buyi's face instantly, and with slightly excited fingers, he tapped to connect.

Suddenly, on the phone screen appeared a pretty woman who seemed about thirty years old, with short, neat hair. The woman's eyes were slightly red, as if she had been crying.

The short-haired woman repressed her excitement: "Buyi, long time no see."

Qin Buyi took a deep breath, staring intently at the short-haired woman: "Yes, long time no see. Natalie, you suddenly contacted me; is there news from over there?"

"Yes, the blessing ceremony has ended, and in this generation, our family has another person who successfully became a Moon Apostle." The short-haired woman showed a bright smile.

Because this means Qin Siyu is completely safe.

Safe! Qin Buyi's legs softened, nearly collapsing to the ground.

The crisis that had kept him on edge and worried for over a decade was suddenly lifted, and at this moment, Qin Buyi's heart was pounding like war drums, madly beating, and nobody could understand his feeling.

"It's good to be safe, just good."

It took nearly two minutes for Qin Buyi to calm down somewhat, feeling excited: "Natalie, in this generation, five people in your family all successfully awakened one; it seems even the heavens are blessing Yu."

On the other side, Natalie shook her head: "Not five, but forty-three."

"Forty-three?" Qin Buyi was stunned.

Natalie explained: "Half a year ago, my cousin started bringing people back gradually, these people aged between fifteen and twenty."

"They are children of my deceased cousins and nephews. Before participating in the blessing ceremony, each of them left their sperm for preservation."

"Using the developed and refined in vitro technology of the past twenty years, the family secretly found surrogates to birth over fifty babies, and in the end, more than thirty grew up healthy."

Qin Buyi was stunned. Truly, families at the high echelons of a country think thoroughly, but...

"But Natalie, given your family's status in Nanshan Country, although surrogacy is officially banned by law, you wouldn't have to act so covertly for over a decade, right?"

Qin Buyi felt somewhat puzzled.

The short-haired woman said softly: "I asked my cousin about it, and his intention was to avoid 'competitio'."

Competing for what? Certainly for the Moon Apostle of the Moon God Sect. The Moon God Sect held supreme status in Nanshan Country, maintained by nine major families.

But where humans are, there is contention for interests, and the Moon Apostle is a symbol of divine power in the sect.

Having one more from one's own family means one less from another family—a significant difference.

"Unfortunately, all nine families had the same idea. During today's blessing ceremony, each family brought in dozens more people, but only four ultimately awakened successfully."

Four successful out of a few hundred; this success rate is actually quite good.

Consider Yidu's third space impact event earlier—thousands were touched by contamination that night, yet all turned into monsters and were eradicated.

"Natalie, can you come back now?" Qin Buyi asked, feeling a bit nervous and hopeful.

The short-haired woman shook her head with a bitter smile, "I can't leave for now, the family has too many issues lately. I might have to wait for half a year, until I've finished handling my stuff before coming back."

"But even though I can't return, things are fine now. Buyi, you can bring Siyu over to visit. The international flight from Yidu to Nanshan only takes a day."

"All these years, my brother actually knew about Siyu's existence, but he didn't tell the old patriarch. He also told me that even if the blessing failed this time, he wouldn't let Siyu return."

As she spoke, Natalie's gaze was very gentle.

"Although my cousin and I aren't siblings by blood, we grew up together in the countryside. He once said he would protect me, and I've never forgotten those words."

"Even back then when I went to study abroad in Dongqin, it was actually with his help."

After hearing this, Qin Buyi let go of his last bit of worry completely. He never expected such genuine family affection in a big family like this.

Qin Buyi took a deep breath, "Natalie, about going to Nanshan Country, I need to go back and ask Siyu. See if she's willing; it's been over ten years after all."

"Yes, over ten years, and during these years it's me who owes her." Natalie's gaze dimmed.

Qin Buyi quickly comforted, "Don't worry, Natalie. I've already mentioned this to Siyu, and she doesn't blame you."

"Really, Siyu doesn't blame me?" The short-haired woman suddenly got a bit emotional.

"Really." Qin Buyi nodded affirmatively, then picked up the car keys on the table, "I'll head back now, and once home, I'll video call you."

"Okay."

With excitement, Qin Buyi drove out directly, and when he arrived home, it was already ten o'clock at night.

"Dad, why did you suddenly come back?"

In the living room, intending to go to sleep after watching a silly TV drama, Qin Siyu looked a bit baffled at the hurriedly returning Qin Buyi.

"Siyu, your mom contacted me." Qin Buyi indicated with excitement.

"Mom!" The girl froze, and Jiang Hou beside her also paused.

"Yes, your mom told me…" Qin Buyi then detailed the conversation he had with Natalie, especially sharing about Siyu's well-being.

After Qin Buyi finished speaking, a smile appeared on Jiang Hou's face.

Honestly, the threats from the Song Muwemon Family didn't worry him much, given his rapid growth, he would soon reach the seventh stage and his combat prowess would be unmatched.

If that family dared to confront him, he wouldn't mind crushing their heads.

Of course, it would be best if both sides remained peaceful, after all, Siyu's mom is a member of that family, tearing relationships wouldn't be good for either side.

"Siyu, do you want to video call your mom?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded vigorously, her gaze filled with excitement.

"Then I'll contact her right away." Qin Buyi showed a smile.

As soon as Qin Buyi sent the video call, it connected instantly, clearly the other side was waiting.

Seeing the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face on the screen, Qin Siyu opened her mouth, but found herself too nervous to speak.

On the other side, the short-haired woman also looked at Qin Siyu, her eyes turning red.

As both felt excited and nervous, Jiang Hou leaned in with a smile, "Auntie, hello, my name is Jiang Hou."

Jiang Hou's appearance broke the stagnant atmosphere, and Natalie smiled, "I know you, Hou. Buyi mentioned you many times before."

"Thank you for taking care of Siyu all these years, otherwise, she wouldn't be as cheerful and outgoing as she is now."

Jiang Hou shook his head, "Auntie, it's nothing, I should be the one thanking Uncle and you."

Natalie was aware of Jiang Hou, but it was her first time seeing the young man who grew up with her daughter.

Natalie's first impression of Jiang Hou was very positive, charming, valiant, with a steady gaze lacking the frivolous immaturity typical of high school seniors.

"…Mom." Qin Siyu cautiously called out.

"Yes, Mom is here, Siyu." The short-haired woman replied, her body trembling, her words incredibly tender.

Once the tension was broken, the conversation naturally shifted into a warm mother-daughter heart-to-heart.

Natalie asked Qin Siyu about her hobbies and favorite foods, while the girl responded obediently, occasionally sharing small secrets, and the two got increasingly carried away in their chat.

Watching the girl lying on the sofa happily chatting on her phone, Jiang Hou smiled, "Uncle, nothing to worry about now, right?"

"No worries anymore, this is great." Qin Buyi nodded, the smile on his face never faded.

The harmonious scene between Qin Siyu and Natalie was immensely gratifying for him, making him feel he had no more regrets in life, that even if he were to die now...

Wait, that wouldn't do, Yu hasn't married yet, how could he die?

With this thought, Qin Buyi instinctively glanced at Jiang Hou beside him, his eyes left Jiang Hou puzzled, "Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ah, nothing, Hou." Qin Buyi coughed lightly.
