…

Amidst a daze.

Lin Yuan’s consciousness began to revive.

“What place is this?”

Lin Yuan’s mind was slightly startled as darkness met his eyes, devoid of any light.

“Could it be that the body my consciousness has descended upon this time is blind?”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Even if born into the body of a developing infant and the eyes and other organs are not yet fully developed, one can still roughly discern light from darkness.

However, now.

Lin Yuan couldn’t perceive the slightest hint of brightness.

This was clearly abnormal.

“Even if it’s blindness, once restored to the second rank, I should be able to use perception to substitute for sight. No, wait.”

Lin Yuan’s mind grew solemn, and with continuous adaptation, he suddenly discovered that the body he had descended upon this time was not human.

“Is this a tree?”

Lin Yuan’s thoughts diverged. With the consciousness of a seventh-rank evolver reviving, his ability to perceive the outside world greatly increased. Even without relying on vision, he could sense many things.

For example.

Lin Yuan’s current external appearance.

He was a small tree over a meter tall, with branches beginning to wither.

Black Mist Mountain Range.

Deep and quiet, ancient trees of countless millennia and hundreds of thousands of years could be seen everywhere, with many terrifying beasts and monsters lurking.

In a certain area on the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountain Range, a small tree over a meter tall swayed in the wind, its trunk yellowing and withering, completely different from the nearby ancient trees.

“This could be troublesome.”

Lin Yuan suddenly felt it was tricky.

After traversing the Gate of the Myriad Worlds five times before.

Lin Yuan subconsciously assumed that the bodies he descended upon through the Gate of the Myriad Worlds were all human.

But in reality.

Lin Yuan did not confirm this from within the Gate of the Myriad Worlds.

And now.

Lin Yuan’s situation clearly told him that the target of each descent was not necessarily human.

Theoretically speaking, as long as it belongs to the scope of life, Lin Yuan has the possibility of descending.

“This world.”

Lin Yuan’s thoughts turned, and after fully adapting, he quickly discovered something unusual about this small tree.

“Hmm?”

Lin Yuan’s consciousness converged entirely at the base of the small tree, where it seemed that a black flame was burning.

Whispers came, and Lin Yuan seemed to see a huge demon tree standing in the void.

The branches of the demon tree swayed, and seeds began to scatter in all directions, falling into a vast world.

And the small tree Lin Yuan descended upon now was one of those seeds that had grown.

“The Outsider Demon God, the progenitor demon tree?”

“So it peeks into this world.”

“And then sent its ‘seeds’ in, attempting to completely integrate and then grow.”

“And ultimately completely occupy this world.”

Lin Yuan felt somewhat complicated.

His identity in this descent was not simple; he was a seed of the Outsider Demon God – the progenitor demon tree, intended to invade this world as a backup.

But unfortunately.

It seems that the seeds of the Outsider Demon God – the progenitor demon tree, are somewhat incompatible with this world.

At least the small tree Lin Yuan descended upon is so, with its trunk yellowing and withering, looking malnourished.

If it weren’t for Lin Yuan’s consciousness descending, it probably wouldn’t be long before it withered on its own.

“Outsider Demon God.”

Lin Yuan faintly sensed towards a certain direction.

As the seed of the progenitor demon tree, even if separated by a great distance, Lin Yuan could still sense the immense and profound terrifying aura emanating from it.

“But I don’t care.”

“For me right now, whether it’s a demon god or not doesn’t matter.”

“The most important thing now is to survive.”

Lin Yuan pondered in his mind.

Although he currently appears to be a small tree, in essence, he is a descendant of a demon god, capable of promoting his own growth by devouring large amounts of the essence, blood, and souls of living beings.

However, with the current state of the small tree, let alone devouring the essence, blood, and souls of other living beings, it’s lucky enough not to be trampled by some passing beast.

“Slowly accumulate energy by sunlight. It’s too slow, and I can hardly absorb much sunlight anyway.”

Lin Yuan slightly extended his perception to the surroundings and found ancient trees everywhere, monopolizing all the sunlight, moisture, and nutrients.

“Natural Qi?”

Lin Yuan also noticed that the air around was filled with a gentle energy similar to spiritual Qi.

But similarly, relying on instinct to absorb these energies is exceptionally slow. Perhaps it would take hundreds of years to grow a few meters taller?

“That progenitor demon tree wants to conspire with this world at minimal cost to invade it. It’s simply not realistic.”

Lin Yuan sighed.

Through his current situation, he could also infer the plight of other demon tree seeds.

Either they were barely alive like him, or they had long died due to various accidents.

According to the initial memories of this small tree, that progenitor demon tree had scattered countless seeds into this world.

But now, there were probably not many left alive.

“Normal demon tree seeds, under the suppression of the world’s will, cannot grow at all. But I am not a normal demon tree seed.”

Lin Yuan’s thoughts fluctuated.

Under the suppression of heaven and earth, demon tree seeds cannot use any innate abilities.

Thus, it led to his current despondency.

But for Lin Yuan, if he couldn’t use his innate abilities, then he wouldn’t use them.

He only needed to create methods and abilities that adapted to this world. Isn’t that enough?

Although Lin Yuan had not seen any martial arts manuals from this world, so-called martial arts manuals were just shortcuts for Lin Yuan to take.

With his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan could directly comprehend the world and extract the martial arts manuals he wanted from the most fundamental operations of the world.

These martial arts manuals, obtained from the world itself, would be completely adapted to this world and not be suppressed in the slightest.

“Let’s start enlightenment.”

Lin Yuan steadied his mind, without any hesitation.

At this moment, he didn’t have much sense of security. As a small tree over a meter tall, unable to move, if targeted by some grazing monster, he had no ability to resist.

Even the occasional passing monster could deal him a devastating blow.

[You possess Unrivaled Insight, observing the operation of heaven and earth, intending to comprehend the method of cultivation.]

After nearly half a month of continuous enlightenment.

Lin Yuan finally comprehended a method of cultivation suitable for his current self.

“Phew.”

Lin Yuan slowly activated it, and spiritual power began to gather from all around, flowing into the trunk through the bark, and finally being completely absorbed.

“Comfortable.”

Lin Yuan only felt the whole tree body warm, as if soaking in a hot spring.

“However, this cultivation method can only be used for transition in the early stages. It’s best to use it less later on.”

Lin Yuan silently thought.

He was currently only a little over a meter tall, able to draw in spiritual energy from tens of meters around.

If he grew to several meters or tens of meters, just one absorption would cause a disturbance in the spiritual energy for miles around.

By then, it would attract the attention of powerful monsters and even the true powerhouses of this world.

Given the characteristics of demon tree seeds, they were inherently rejected by the life of this world. Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore.

For Lin Yuan to survive, he could only hide. Without the strength to sweep everything, he absolutely could not expose himself.

“At the current rate of cultivation, in a few months, I will be able to control the branches and hunt those monsters.”

Lin Yuan estimated in his mind.

As a descendant of the demon tree, he appeared to be a tree, but he was fundamentally different from those immobile trees.

At the beginning of growth, under the suppression of heaven and earth, there was simply no room to display abilities.

Now that Lin Yuan had a chance to catch his breath and could get through the most difficult period by absorbing spiritual energy, things would naturally be much better later on.

Controlling branches and hunting prey were the most basic abilities.

And by hunting prey and absorbing their blood, flesh, and souls, Lin Yuan’s growth rate would be much faster, and it would not attract attention from other beings due to causing fluctuations in spiritual energy.

Several months later.

A half-meter-sized purple-eyed rabbit cautiously approached.

This rabbit had sleek fur, and its eyes were purple, appearing exceptionally cute and harmless.

However.

Any monster able to live in the Black Mist Mountain Range was basically not harmless.

This rabbit was no exception. In a burst of speed, it was even faster than some flying monsters.

The purple-eyed rabbit slowly approached, its gaze fixed on one spot.

There, a piece of emerald green leaves had visible spiritual power flowing on its surface.

This was an irresistible temptation for the purple-eyed rabbit.

The purple-eyed rabbit was not very intelligent, but instinct told it that as long as it swallowed that leaf, it would undergo some kind of transformation.

However, having lived in the Black Mist Mountain Range for years, the purple-eyed rabbit was naturally highly vigilant. Even though the leaf was not far away, it did not approach immediately.

Instead, it cautiously observed the surroundings.

Swish.

After confirming repeatedly that there was no monster threatening it nearby, only a three to four-meter-tall, unknown tree with pitch-black branches growing beside it.

The purple-eyed rabbit finally relaxed its guard and swiftly pounced towards the leaf.

However.

The next moment.

The emerald green leaf disappeared.

In its place, more than ten black branches, like spirit snakes, entwined the pouncing purple-eyed rabbit.

It seemed to any other monsters present as if the purple-eyed rabbit had thrown itself into the entanglement.

“Squeak squeak.”

The purple-eyed rabbit struggled violently. Under the threat of death, all its potential erupted, but unfortunately.

Facing the increasingly tight entanglement of the black branches, the purple-eyed rabbit’s struggles grew weaker and weaker, until its consciousness completely sank into darkness.

“Whoa.”

After absorbing the flesh, blood, and soul of the purple-eyed rabbit, Lin Yuan’s comfortable branches began to sway and swing.

Compared to absorbing external spiritual power, directly hunting and devouring flesh and souls would make his own growth much faster.

Just one purple-eyed rabbit was equivalent to Lin Yuan’s arduous cultivation for nearly half a month.

It’s worth noting that this arduous cultivation for nearly half a month here refers to Lin Yuan’s cultivation using the method he comprehended.

If there were no cultivation method, capturing just one purple-eyed rabbit would probably be equivalent to Lin Yuan’s cultivation for several years or decades.

“Now I finally have some self-defense power.”

After absorbing the flesh, blood, and soul of the purple-eyed rabbit, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The emerald green leaf he used to lure the purple-eyed rabbit was condensed over these few months by continuously absorbing spiritual energy through the cultivation method.

This was equivalent to all the achievements Lin Yuan had made during this time.

For the purple-eyed rabbit, which relied on leaves for food, this was like a treasure from heaven. In just a few days, Lin Yuan had already hunted down over ten purple-eyed rabbits using this method.

“Now, I…”

Lin Yuan examined himself.

Of course, not through vision, but through his own perception.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was almost three meters tall, compared to less than two meters when he first became conscious, undoubtedly a significant growth.

As for strength, he could easily hunt down some relatively weak monsters, but for safety’s sake, Lin Yuan still focused on hunting purple-eyed rabbits.

“If I continue to grow, the innate abilities of the demon tree will gradually break through the seal and become usable.”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The demon tree seeds that had just entered this world were too weak, which was why they were easily suppressed to death.

But now, having passed through the most difficult period, Lin Yuan had a premonition that his situation would become easier and easier.

In the time that followed, while continuing his enlightenment, Lin Yuan continued to use the emerald green leaf as bait to hunt down purple-eyed rabbits with low intelligence.

Even if other monsters were too careless and came over on their own, Lin Yuan would not hesitate to accept them.

After half a year had passed, after countless hunts, Lin Yuan’s body size had reached seven to eight meters, with hundreds of branches under his control.

The purple-eyed rabbits within several miles had almost been eradicated by Lin Yuan.

“In a while, I can consider moving to another place.”

Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.

Other trees, unless they became sentient, could not move. But Lin Yuan was different; as long as he wanted to, he could easily change his location.

“Hmm?”

Just as Lin Yuan was considering moving in that direction,

There was a sudden movement.

He looked towards a certain direction.
