Post-Apocalyptic Rebirth: The Ghost Guanyin Transforms into a God

Humans are creatures that always want what they lack most.

Yan Shuzhou has a special background, and his past experiences have taught him to hide himself.

Children who live under someone else's roof are often born with a sense of inferiority and a lack of love. Before they even understand what their own hands are capable of, they are already pretending in order to gain the love of others. Their thoughts and abilities cannot support their own hopes.

There's no way to escape, no way to get away; without destruction, there can be no rebirth.

So he could only comfort himself, pretending not to know anything, swallowing all his negative emotions, keeping them inside until he could no longer bear it, his stomach burst open, tearing his own wings to shreds, leaving him bleeding profusely.

He faced death before even entering society, and suddenly became a monster-like being, hated by everyone.

More than fifty people were crammed into the control room; the pressure of surviving in the apocalypse had long since crushed him.

He didn't understand why, despite doing so well, he was still abandoned by his parents. What had he done wrong that he wasn't even given a chance to live?

He was an uneducated, selfish discarded child of his adoptive parents.

When he was pushed out of the elevator, Yan Shuzhou, who still retained a bit of innocence, died.

At that time, his only remaining hope was Miao Yin.

Of his kind, perhaps only she will come back to find him.

So even if he's humbled and pitiful, it doesn't matter; he can just beg her to take him away.

He had no dignity to begin with, and he didn't expect to have any in the future.

His world had long been destroyed, and the broken state it was in now was pieced together by Miao Yin. Every stitch on it bore the marks she left behind.

He was born out of dependence on her, hoping to gain her favor.

And Miao Yin was perfectly aware of this.

She once deliberately left Yan Shuzhou at the small manor in order to find Tu Hao.

To prevent intrusion, the small manor was filled with hidden surveillance cameras. Apart from her, only Tu Hao knew about these cameras, and only she could see their contents.

After taking Tu Hao and Ji Yuanzhou back, she checked the surveillance footage once.

During the time she was away, besides managing the manor, Yan Shuzhou spent most of his time alone in a corner.

As the sun rose in the east and set in the west, he stayed in that corner, avoiding the light, motionless and silent, until the moon rose, at which point he got up and returned to his room.

This situation continued until she returned.

Yan Shuzhou had never shown this side of himself in front of Miao Yin.

He has always been a good younger brother, taking care of everything thoughtfully, and never even seeking credit.

But this docile facade was shattered today.

"Why don't you want me? Am I not obedient enough? Am I not good enough? I'm willing to die for you! You can even make me die! Why do you hate me!"

"Is it Tu Hao? You like him more than me? You left me at home and brought him back. He's so disobedient, yet you still like him. You two are always together! You're together in that building too! You look for him but never for me!"

"They're all better than me, aren't they? With them, my sister doesn't need me anymore... But you promised you wouldn't throw me away! I even promised you my life! Why, why..."

The sludge in his heart was dredged up, and he became frantic and hysterical, kneeling on the ground and roaring. Then, he suddenly lowered his voice and apologized with a sob in his voice.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, sister, I was wrong, I shouldn't have yelled at you... I'm sorry, please don't ignore me... I was wrong... Please say something... Why are you ignoring me... I know I was wrong..."

"Dong dong."

Miao Yin tapped the table, interrupting his incessant muttering to himself.

"come over."

Yan Shuzhou was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

So Miao Yin tapped on the table again: "Come here."

Yan Shuzhou suddenly calmed down. He tried to stand up, but his whole body was trembling violently. In the end, he could only crawl over, tilt his head back, and look at her with wet eyes, filled with a sincere expectation.

Miao Yin, like a compassionate Buddha finally hearing the call of a believer, said softly, "I have not abandoned you."

"Really?"

"Mmm." Miao Yin looked down at him and coaxed, "I don't dislike you either. You're very cute. Stay by my side from now on."

Yan Shuzhou looked at it carefully for a long time, as if trying to confirm whether he was hallucinating.

“Yan Shuzhou, whether you are as shy and gentle as before or as neurotic as you are now, I don’t mind. It doesn’t matter what you are like. As your older sister, I will accept everything about you, so don’t be afraid. I will never abandon you. The tragedy you have experienced will never happen again.”

"My home is right here beside me."

Seemingly finally understanding her meaning, Yan Shuzhou grabbed the table and stood up, hugging Miao Yin and burying his head in her neck, trembling like a little rabbit whose cardboard box had been opened, absorbing the warmth of its owner.

"Sister, sister... I like you... I'm sorry... I like you... sister..."

His hot, moist breath touched Miao Yin's skin, and his tears soaked her clothes.

"It itches, don't lean against me," Miao Yin said lightly.

Yan Shuzhou let out a short sob, looking very aggrieved. He moved his head away slightly, leaned on her shoulder, and then cried, his voice trembling.

This time it's for real; compared to that, the one in front of the elevator seemed even more fake.

"Are you made of water? You cry so much."

“…No.” He answered vaguely.

Strangely enough, Yan Shuzhou had been roaring and raving on the ground for a long time, looking like the whole world had collapsed, and he couldn't even catch his breath. After Miao Yin said a few words, he quieted down.

She pinched the back of his neck, coaxing him half-heartedly, thinking that Yan Shuzhou was quite cute.

He's cute when he's thinking of lying to her, cute when he's trying to win her over with a pitiful act, and cute when he breaks down and screams after she exposes him.

So she couldn't help but remain silent for a while, wanting to see him act crazy, which was a rare occurrence for him.

She only does this occasionally so that life isn't too boring. If it were her past life, she could have gone crazy having three or four of these in a day.

Unfortunately, she couldn't watch for too long, otherwise the summoner she had raised for so long would really go crazy, which was not what she wanted to see.

Yan Shuzhou held her like that, his emotions gradually calming down and his trembling ceasing.

Miao Yin tugged at his ear: "Are you awake?"

“…Hmm.” He responded listlessly.

"Then why aren't you getting up?"

"……ugly."

He made a complete mess of himself.

So Miao Yin handed him a bottle of water: "Go wash your face."

Yan Shuzhou could only reluctantly let go of her and take the water bottle to the side to wash his face.

After cleaning himself up, he returned sheepishly, with two pink clouds floating on his ears.

As his reason returned, Yan Shuzhou felt somewhat ashamed when he recalled his earlier behavior and didn't know how to face Miao Yin.

He lowered his head in frustration.

He didn't know what was wrong with him; he was saying all sorts of crazy things. He had no self-control, and all his ugly, dark sides were exposed. How could he let his sister have such an impression of him?

Will she dislike him? But she said he's cute...

Miao Yin tapped him on the head: "What are you thinking about? Aren't you leaving?"

"Oh……"

Having suffered a breakdown, Yan Shuzhou was clearly not in a good mental state. He looked dazed and simply followed Miao Yin's lead.

Miao Yin had basically cleared out the monsters on the eleventh floor, and the rest had jumped out through the gap she had blasted open. Now the place was empty.

Miao Yin glanced at the sunlight outside.

They've been here for a while now, plus the time they just spent here.

It's getting dark.
