Extraordinary awakening, I can transform into a world-destroying monster

Chapter 227 The Three Altars of Haihui Great God
At eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Houcai left the manor in Song Muwei's car.

As the capital of a country, this place is far more prosperous than Yidu. At this time of day, the streets are congested with traffic, and tall buildings line both sides with neon lights flashing.

What sets this place apart from Yidu is its culture.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Hou looked around and saw that four out of ten people on the street were wearing religious robes, and these people belonged to different religions.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hou was in no mood to appreciate the scenery of this foreign land; he was busy planning the great battle of tomorrow.

Just then, Jiang Hou's phone vibrated. Jiang Ruochan had sent him a message saying that someone she had asked to help had already gotten off the plane at Nanshan Capital Airport.

If Lord Jiang hasn't returned to the front lines yet, he can go and get to know the other party first, which will make things easier tomorrow.

The message included the other party's phone number and the name 'Li Jie'.

"Has one already arrived?" Jiang Hou pondered for a moment, then prepared to go and meet that eighth-tier expert.

Jiang Hou dialed the number, and it was answered quickly. A lazy voice came from the other end.

"Hey, who is that?"

Jiang Hou said politely, "Hello, Mr. Li, I am Jiang Hou."

"Lord Jiang, that's the Awakener from the Beast Era." The voice on the other end sounded surprised.

"Yes, the president said you've arrived in Nanshan, the capital. I happen to be here too and haven't returned to the front lines yet. I was wondering if Mr. Li has time to meet with me."

“Okay, I’ll send you the current address in a bit.” The eighth-tier expert on the other end of the line was very straightforward. “By the way, don’t call me Mr. Li, it sounds weird.”

“I’ve looked at your profile. I’m only a few years older than you. If you don’t mind, just call me Brother Li.”

“…Okay, Brother Li.” Jiang Hou didn’t stand on ceremony.

After Jiang Hou hung up the phone, he received a text message, but the content was... "Please take me to Silong Barbecue Restaurant on Langshan Road."

"Yes, General!" the driver replied respectfully.

Twenty minutes later, the silver sedan stopped outside the Four Dragons Barbecue restaurant.

This barbecue restaurant is very large, with two floors. At this time, the first floor, which has more than 20 tables, was already half full and very lively.

But when Marquis Jiang, dressed in his general's uniform, walked in, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The owner behind the cashier nervously swallowed hard: "Um, sir, are you here to 'eat' or...?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll find someone." With that, Jiang Hou looked around and walked straight to a window seat on the side, where a young man who looked to be in his early twenties was sitting.

The young man had delicate features, with a red flame mark between his eyebrows, and his long black hair was tied into a loose ponytail with a red ribbon.

However, unlike Qin Siyu, his ponytail resembled that of an ancient young swordsman, with fluffy, messy hair on his forehead and strands hanging down on both sides.

He was wearing a red jacket over a white t-shirt, black trousers, and white flat shoes, looking very casual.

"You're here, have a seat."

Seeing Jiang Hou approaching, the young man said familiarly, "This barbecue restaurant has a high rating online, let's try it together later."

“Alright.” Jiang Hou did not stand on ceremony and sat down opposite Li Jie.

Li Jie looked at Jiang Hou with great interest: "Speaking of which, we are actually group members. My name in the group is the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas."

"If I remember correctly, your name in the group is Emperor Dongyue, right?"

At this point, Li Jie said with a hint of envy, "This name sounds much more imposing than mine. I should have known better than to listen to the group leader's suggestion to name it 'Three Altars and Seas Gathering'."

"San Tan Hai Hui, I didn't expect Brother Li to be in that Fengshen group." Jiang Hou was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be a group member. And the great god of San Tan Hai Hui also had another name, Nezha the Third Prince.

His surname is Li, and he has a handsome appearance. He does resemble someone from mythology, but we don't know what his abilities are.

"I've been in that lousy group for years, but it feels like there's no difference between being in it and not being in it." Li Jie shrugged as he spoke, his lazy demeanor revealing a hint of arrogance.

It's like the person's name truly reflects their character.

Jiang Hou has been so busy these past few days that he almost forgot about joining the Investiture of the Gods group.

He couldn't help but ask a fellow member of the group, "Isn't it said that after entering the Heavenly Court and erecting statues and palaces, one can receive the blessing of the ancient Heavenly Court's fortune?"

Li Jie shrugged: "That thing is ethereal and intangible; who knows if it's even useful?"

"Moreover, if it were really that magical, the ancient Heavenly Court would not have been destroyed, so even if you join the group, don't place your hopes on it."

"That's for sure." Jiang Hou nodded, agreeing with his statement.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, what does it feel like when you transform into a giant beast?"

Li Jie was also very interested in Jiang Hou: "I heard that the colossal beasts of that era were enormous, their bodies so large they could blot out the sun and moon, and they possessed boundless power."

"Even the so-called gods are just food in their presence; they are the true overlords of the era."

...So strong! Jiang Hou was a little confused. It seemed that the colossal beast in Li Jie's words and the giant ape he had transformed into were completely different species.

Jiang Hou hesitated: "When I transform into a giant beast, my strength increases by more than a hundred times, but it doesn't seem as exaggerated as you said, Brother Li."

As the behemoths grew larger, the difference between them and human form not only did not diminish, but became even more exaggerated.

The normal transformation is more than a hundred times stronger than the current one, and the amplification of the three major talent states is even more exaggerated, not to mention the later Mingwang form.

“More than a hundred times…” This time it was Li Jie’s turn to fall silent.

He was referring to the adult form of the colossal beasts of heaven and earth as recorded in the documents. As an awakened being, Jiang Hou was certainly no match for the fully formed colossal beasts of heaven and earth.

Li Jie exclaimed, "No wonder some materials from the Divine Era say that the inheritance of giant beasts is second only to the Immortal and Demon Era."

At this moment, two waiters came over, looking a little nervous: "Excuse me, gentlemen, these are your orders."

"let it go."

As they were talking, the two waiters put down the two large plates of barbecue they were carrying, and then respectfully left.

There was no way around it; Jiang Hou's general's uniform was too intimidating, especially the divine punishment mark on his shoulder insignia, which had already gone viral online and inspired awe.

"Come on, let's eat and talk."

"With your rapid improvement in strength, Brother Jiang, and your cross-border combat capabilities, I feel that it won't be long before we become comrades-in-arms fighting side by side."

As he spoke, Li Jie picked up two skewers of grilled meat and devoured them in one bite, a satisfied expression immediately appearing on his handsome face.

At this moment, Li Jie picked up another bottle of beer, opened it with one hand, and drank it all in one gulp: "Awesome! In this world, only good food can make people feel happy so easily."

"Come on, Brother Jiang, don't be shy, let's have a drink."

“Okay.” Jiang Hou nodded and picked up a bottle of beer as well.

The two then ate barbecue and drank wine like friends, casually discussing topics deep within the ruins that Jiang Hou was interested in.
