“One bow!”
“Two bows!”
“Three bows!”
“Kowtow!”
…
Listening to the noises around him, Ji Yang struggled to open his eyes, wanting to see what was happening.
After a while, his blurry consciousness gradually awakened.
What he saw was a strange shrine. There were rows of vague figures kneeling on the bluestone slabs below the shrine, kowtowing to him.
Ji Yang murmured in his heart, “Am I dead?”
It made sense, there was no way he could have survived a runaway truck.
Just before he lost consciousness, he used all his strength to crawl to the middle of the street crossing. There should be a considerable amount of compensation.
This could be considered as the little contribution he made for his family before his death.
Ji Yang sighed, but then he noticed something was wrong.
He was young and childless. Even if it was a funeral, there wouldn’t be so many people kowtowing to him, right?
Besides, he was dead. Where did his consciousness come from?
Before Ji Yang could think more, a somewhat muddy consciousness suddenly surged into his mind.
This was the inheritance of memory!
His originally blurry consciousness quickly became clear along with his vision!
When Ji Yang looked down again, he realised that none of the people kowtowing below were familiar to him, and they were dressed strangely, wearing primitive animal skins with peculiar styles!
Ji Yang lowered his head wanting to see his current state. Had his soul ascended to heaven?
But when Ji Yang looked at the body that was no more than two metres tall, no thicker than a bamboo pole, like a withered tree, he was speechless.
Because this withered tree was not a metaphor, but his reality!
He had actually become a tree!
Although he couldn’t tell the species, the withered and grey branches told him that the condition of this tree was not good!
At the same time, the impact of the memory in his mind made Ji Yang fall into deep thought.
…
“The ceremony is over!”
“Sacrifice!”
With the rise of the crowd, several people quickly lifted the corpses of several unknown animals and placed them in the mud area below where there were no stone slabs!
After the sacrifices were placed, an old man dressed in coarse cloth slowly stood up. He held a yellowed animal skin in his hand, raised one hand high, and uttered a string of strange and tongue-twisting words:
“Oh great divine tree, please grant us divine power! Give us hope! Show us your endless glory…”
Ji Yang clearly understood the words he heard from this new and unfamiliar language.
Combining the fragmented memories that had surged up in his mind, all these mysteries in front of his eyes were answered.
He had not only become a tree, but also a sacred tree worshipped by this small family!
The target for this ritual was none other than himself.
Through the memories of the old tree in his mind, Ji Yang realised that the world before him was not his original world, but a new one.
It was a high martial world where bloodlines determined the power of a family.
People applied the power of their blood and qi to the extreme, displaying impressive power, and thus had established a unique cultivation system!
In this world, some bloodlines had the power to shatter mountains and rocks, while others could soar in the sky!
All the impossibilities of his previous world had now become reality!
In addition to this unique cultivation system, there was also something called a totem, used for worship.
Regarding this aspect, Ji Yang’s memories were sparse and he only had a vague idea of what it meant.
However, what he could be certain about was that he, as the tree, was the totem of this family!
As a talent of the new era, Ji Yang quickly accepted the fact that he had transmigrated, but the fact that he had become a tree, even a worshipped sacred tree, still made Ji Yang feel somewhat resistant in his heart.
Ji Yang tried hard to stretch his body, but no matter how hard he tried, the branches below were motionless. Only when the breeze passed could this withered body feel a sense of motion. After trying for a long time to no avail, Ji Yang could only give up helplessly. He then lowered his head and silently watched the actions of the people below, observing this special ritual!
After the old man below finished his worship, several beast corpses placed in the mud were quickly cut open by his people.
A large amount of fresh blood gushed out, instantly staining the ground a bright red color!
Although he no longer had a body, witnessing something this scene made Ji Yang involuntarily frown.
It was actually a blood sacrifice!
What could they be worshiping for?
Then he remembered that the object of everyone’s worship seemed to be himself, so it was fine!
As the fresh blood seeped into the ground, Ji Yang felt a strange sensation.
Ji Yang could not be sure if this was a good or bad thing, but as a third-year high school student, his rationality said to refuse.
A tremor shook Ji Yang’s soul when the blood was absorbed by his roots.
There was a desire, a desire stemming from instinct.
In the next moment the several roots absorbed all the blood that had seeped below, and only stopped after all the blood was gone.
The old man who had finished the sacrifice looked up at the divine tree in front of him. Seeing that the divine tree was as usual, without any visible changes, a trace of disappointment and confusion appeared in the old man’s eyes, and then he bowed his head and prayed again.
Even the expressions of the others changed. They revealed a bit of disgust and hatred in their eyes when they looked at their own divine tree.
At this time Ji Yang did not pay attention, he was still immersed in the sensations that the blood was eliciting
After the roots underground absorbed the blood, a crisp ding dong sound rang in Ji Yang’s ears.
Then, several floating characters slowly appeared in front of Ji Yang arranged in a pattern.
[Name: Ji Yang]
[Race: Weak Locust Tree]
[Vitality: 0.5]
[Divine Power: Eye of Insight]
[Cultivation Method: None]
[Combat Skills: None]
[Blood Qi: 5 (Can be converted into Life Force)]
[Spiritual Power: 2]
[Status: As a worshiped divine tree, you are already a dim candle in the wind on the verge of being snuffed out!]
[Prediction: ???]
[Please bind to a family as soon as possible to unlock more functions!]
Looking at the illusory characters in front of him Ji Yang, who is familiar with various online novels, reacted instantly.
It seems this is his golden finger!
But a locust tree is just a locust tree, what does it mean to be a Weak Locust Tree?
Eye of Insight (can probe some information when used on a target), this is Ji Yang’s only skill.
Vitality, without a doubt, represents Ji Yang’s lifespan. A vitality of 0.5 signifies Ji Yang’s limited lifespan!
The status column explains this clearly!
As for the latter Qi and spiritual power, Ji Yang is not clear, but the peculiar feeling he felt just now lets Ji Yang roughly know the source. It is likely the effect brought by absorbing the blood of the slaughtered beast corpses.
Among them, Qi can be converted into vitality, which means he can increase his lifespan! Not end up as a short-lived tree?
Realizing his poor condition, Ji Yang did not hesitate, with his consciousness he clicked on the Qi column.
Just as Ji Yang clicked, a line of bold red subtitles appeared in front of him.
“Before using this function, you need to bind to a family. The Chen family is detected, do you want to bind?”
“Once bound, it cannot be reversed! The body cannot be moved!”
“Yes?” “No?”
Faced with this sudden choice, Ji Yang hesitated.
Although clicking can indeed strengthen his own vitality, the big and bright red characters along with the irreversibility of it are signs to take this more seriously.
If the family and the place are not chosen well, he can only wait to die again.
Just as Ji Yang was preparing to continue studying his golden finger and make a decision, a thin figure ran in from outside in a hurry, shouting:
“Chief, it's not good! The Li family is at our door!”
