Chapter 1 It’s great not to be a human being
The weather is clear and clear.
The sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the layers of leaves, leaving golden spots on the dense virgin forest vegetation, and also made Chen Yao's body shine.
"That's great."
Chen Yao stood on a hillside, looking at the scenery of the mountains and forests in the distance, enjoying the double baptism of sunshine and breeze.
"It's great not to be a human being..."
Who would have thought that a social animal in the 21st century who died suddenly after working overtime would travel to another world and become a stone pillar two meters high, half a meter thick, and half buried in the ground?
Who would have thought that Chen Yao would adapt to the fact of becoming a pillar only half a day after traveling through time?
Compared with the life of being a social animal, working hard to earn a new car for your boss and picking up girls.
Chen Yao felt that there was nothing wrong with becoming a pillar.
There is no need to eat, sleep, poop or pee, let alone buy a house or a car.
Even without the root of trouble, even the most primitive desires of human beings are gone.
Of course, if it were just an ordinary pillar, Chen Yao would still feel a little bored.
Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be ordinary.
[Lord of Totem: Chen Yao]
[Along with the supernatural: Blessing]
[Current Totem: None]
[Totem range: three feet in radius]
[Believers: None]
This was something that appeared together after Chen Yao regained consciousness.
But five days later, Chen Yao didn't find anything like this panel, and it had no use.
So now Chen Yao, in addition to basking in the sun and blowing in the wind every day, only has more fun when night falls.
In this world, the peace during the day seems to be to set off the mystery of the night.
After night fell, Chen Yao's eyes were opened to those inexplicable beings wandering outside the range of the totem.
The night he first came to this world, Chen Yao was frightened by the dark and gloomy environment at night.
But when you think about yourself turning into a pillar, what else is there to be afraid of?
After that, he let go.
As if Hei Ye sensed Chen Yao's changes, he immediately showed more of its contents to Chen Yao.
In the past few nights, Chen Yao had seen a humanoid species that was completely black and had four arms and two legs.
I have also seen places where I can't see my fingers, and there is a movable dark sky.
I have also seen a panicked wild deer running towards me being swallowed up by a shallow puddle on the ground.
This bizarre night made Chen Yao exclaim: "Fortunately, I'm not a human!"
Through these few days of observation, Chen Yao found that he did not seem to be in the same camp as those things that appeared at night.
Of course, it's not hostile.
He is more like an existence that those things despise.
Because no matter what it is, it will go around when it passes through the three-foot radius where he is.
Even the moving dark sky took the initiative to leave after meeting Chen Yao.
This made Chen Yao even more curious about himself.
But apart from that panel, Chen Yao couldn't see anything special about his smooth stone pillar.
After five days of fruitless research, Chen Yao gave up.
"That's it, it's pretty good."
Chen Yao looked at the trees swaying in the wind under the sun and thought boredly.
Time passes and the sky turns yellow.
After looking at green plants all day, Chen Yao came back to his senses and was ready to face all kinds of strange things tonight.
But at this moment, there was sudden movement in a bush as tall as one person not far from where he was.
A faint sound came out.
Chen Yao looked over curiously.
A huge wolf head with black and gray hair suddenly poked out from the bushes.
There is also a diamond-shaped piece of white fur between the wolf's head and eyebrows.
The wolf's head swung around and looked around. When the pair of brown eyes saw Chen Yao's stone pillar, there seemed to be more light in it.
Then, this giant gray-black wolf, two meters long and one meter high at the shoulders, comparable in size to a Siberian tiger, staggered out of the bushes. Only then did Chen Yao see the blood and claw marks on the waist and abdomen of the giant wolf, and realized its weakness.
At a distance of less than twenty meters, the giant wolf walked on four legs for nearly a minute.
When he arrived in front of Chen Yao, the giant wolf stubbornly controlled his swaying figure and slowly lay down on the ground.
After all this was done, he closed his eyes and fainted.
Just when Chen Yao was curious about what this giant wolf meant, some information suddenly appeared in his consciousness.
"If you find a believer, will you accept it?"
Believers?
Chen Yao looked at the unconscious giant wolf on the ground, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Accept!"
"Believers Shanlang have been accepted! Start burning totems..."
Chen Yao suddenly found that he could see through himself.
Through perspective, Chen Yao discovered that on the part of the cylinder he had buried underground, a wolf-shaped pattern looking up to the sky and roaring was slowly emerging.
The panel that had been useless had reappeared in his consciousness like smoke.
[Lord of Totem: Chen Yao]
[Along with the supernatural: Blessing]
[Current Totem: Moving Mountains and Howling Moon Wolf]
[Fire of Faith: A Wisp]
[Totem range: six feet in radius]
[Believer: Mountain Wolf*1]
Looking at the extra things on the panel, Chen Yao looked at them one by one with some excitement.
After the consciousness was focused on ‘Moving Mountains and Howling Moon Wolf’, new information appeared.
[Mountain-Moving Howling Moon Wolf: A monster from hundreds of thousands of mountains in ancient times, with the ability to move mountains]
[The power of totem: controlling soil, absorbing moonlight]
[Belonging to Believers: Mountain Wolf]
Along with this information, there is also a corresponding explanation about the totem.
"The believer to whom the current totem belongs is within the range of the totem pole and can gain the power of the totem!"
"You can consume the fire of faith to burn the totem on the spiritual object, so that the spiritual object can gain the power of the temporary totem."
"The use of spiritual objects that are burned into totems is not restricted by the believers to whom the current totem belongs."
After understanding these contents, Chen Yao continued to look at the two totem powers.
[Control soil: You can control the attributes of earth and stone, do whatever you want]
[Moonlight Breathing: Swallowing moonlight to strengthen one's body]
Chen Yao looked at these two abilities and briefly reviewed the current situation.
Because a mountain wolf became his believer for some reason, he had an extra totem, activated the panel, and expanded the range by three feet.
Then, he gained two totem powers.
The power of these two totems can not only be enjoyed by the believers within the scope, but he, the bearer of the totem, can also use it unconditionally.
After figuring it out, Chen Yao looked directly at the ground in front of the pillar without saying anything.
On the ground where weeds about a foot tall were growing, earth, rocks and gravel suddenly kept rising.
In the blink of an eye, these earth, rocks and gravel were like clouds, filling an area of several meters in radius.
As Chen Yao's consciousness changed, this mass of earth, stone, and gravel began to flow like water within a radius of three feet.
That is to say, Chen Yao has no body now, otherwise the curse will flow from the corners of his mouth that cannot be closed.
After playing for more than ten minutes, Chen Yao felt that his consciousness was a little tired, and then he woke up in horror and dispersed the lump of earth and rocks.
Looking at the fine earth and gravel scattered on the turf, even though Chen Yao felt tired for the first time, he could not hide his joy.
"It's great not to be human!"
…
Note: In this article, one foot is equal to three meters.
