1: Chapter 1: The Ultimate Entry!!!

[Brain Offering Shrine ~ Tree-tree will cultivate your brain ~]

"Ahhh! ! !"

Woke up from a nightmare.

A piercingly chilling fog enveloped his entire body, and the fishy stench of rust and rotting earth drilled into his consciousness.

The eternal night had descended, the fog eroded all things, sanity was twisted, monsters ran rampant, and this world was long no longer normal.

Fragments of the apocalypse were forcibly input into his brain.

Jiang Ming awoke in a patch of darkness.

The last second he was still fixing bugs at three in the morning, and the next second, he completely plummeted into a despairing different world.

"Did I transmigrate?!"

He could "feel" the air rotting.

These perceptions were not through his ears, but through... roots.

"I've turned into a tree?!"

Confirming this fact took him about three seconds.

The advantage of a programmer was right here.

When encountering a bug, first admit the existence of the bug, then figure out a way to fix it.

"Fine, a tree it is! Where is my standard-issue system?"

"Let's check the panel!"

The moment the thought arose, a translucent blue panel emerged out of thin air in his consciousness.

[Jiang Ming · Tree Demon Sapling]

[Race: Ultimate Evil Tree Demon (Unique)]

[Level: LV.1]

[Health Value: 50 / 50]

[Energy Value: 20 / 20]

[Strength: 2 (Probably can't even beat a chicken)]

[Agility: 1 (Almost unable to move)]

[Constitution: 5 (The resilience of a plant)]

[Spirit: 100 (Human wisdom + Tree Demon instinct)]

[Sanity Value: ? ? ? (Immeasurable)]

Equipped Traits:

[End of Days Tree Domain · Sanity Suppression] Red Forbidden Grade

"Ultimate Evil Tree Demon? Unique?"

Jiang Ming focused his attention on that red trait, and the detailed information immediately unfolded.

[End of Days Tree Domain · Sanity Suppression]

[Grade: Red Forbidden Grade]

[Effect: With oneself as the center, within a radius of 500 meters, the sanity value of all life forms continuously decreases.]

[Humans: -0.5 per second, staying for ten minutes will inevitably lead to madness]

[Bizarre Creatures: Spiritual suppression, combat power drops by 30% - 70%]

[Self: Sanity value locked at ? ? ?, immune to all mental attacks]

[Hidden Characteristic: Lives suppressed to death, their souls will be absorbed.]

[Ultimate Talent: Refresh a trait daily]

"..."

Is this ability absurd? Absurd! Is it strong? Terrifyingly strong.

But the problem now was that he only had three leaves, strength two, agility one, yet now crises lurked on all sides, and he hadn't grown up yet.

It was equivalent to a child holding the Imperial Jade Seal in a bustling market; he had the potential of an emperor!

He hadn't even been happy for half a second.

A pitch-black, ferocious mutant beetle covered in bone spurs passed by.

Jiang Ming instinctively controlled a thin root to wrap around this mutant beetle.

"Caught it!"

Snap!

The mutant beetle struggled twice and snapped it, incidentally leaving a split on his root.

It hurt so much that his entire tree sapling trembled.

"This is a bug?! It can probably solo a dog!"

The mutant beetle swaggered away, and Jiang Ming fell into deep thought.

His current situation was extremely dangerous.

Run?

The root system could slowly crawl.

But the Speed was probably... ten centimeters per hour?

Wanting to move house relying on this, he wouldn't be able to budge five hundred meters in a month.

Secondly.

Fifty points of health value, getting bitten once by that terrifying mutant beetle would probably deduct ten points.

If a bigger mutant thing came...

"Creak!"

Not far away was a human skeleton half-buried in the mud, its skull crushed by something.

"I'm done for!!"

But overall he was very strong.

It's just that this "strength" was currently completely passive.

The range of sanity suppression was five hundred meters, and anyone who approached would become a lunatic.

Yet he himself had no active attack methods.

Jiang Ming retracted his root system deeper into the leaf litter layer, leaving only the tender buds exposed on the ground.

Disguising himself as a harmless ordinary wild tree sapling.

First survive the first night, and see tomorrow's trait.

How dangerous this kind of fog was, he had been educated plenty on it when reading novels...

"Stop!"

Deep within the fog, a man's lowered voice suddenly came over.

"Nearby... something's not right."

"What's wrong? Are there monsters?"

Another female voice sounded somewhat nervous.

"My head feels a bit dizzy, just like staying in the thick fog area for too long last time, but this is the light fog area..."

"You felt it too? I thought I was just too tired."

The footsteps stopped.

Jiang Ming's tender bud slightly turned towards the direction the sound came from.

About three hundred meters away.

At the edge of the fog, three fuzzy figures loomed indistinctly.

They wore crude animal skin armor, carrying iron axes and short blades in their hands, with bulging gathering bags on their backs.

They were survivors out searching for resources.

"Let's go back, this place is weird!"

The third voice was more seasoned.

"Last time Old Li ran into a Rot Wolf in a place with inexplicable headaches, and almost didn't make it back."

"But today's gathering mission..."

"Is life important or are supplies important?"

This pair of pitiful humans who came out looking for supplies quickly left.

Jiang Ming did not make any noise.

Because in this world, humans and monsters were opposed.

After all, he was the Ultimate Evil Tree Demon.

It's just that he hadn't figured out one thing yet.

What on earth did he count as now?

Was there still a chance to rejoin the human race?

He quickly dispelled this thought.

If those three people discovered him, would they dig him back as a rare plant?

Or would they directly treat him as a mutant plant and chop him down with an axe to use as firewood?

High probability it was the latter.

"The faction has changed!"

"I am going to oppose humanity!"

It was as if he had made up his mind about something.

"I'm not being a human anymore!!!"

Before reincarnation he was a human, but after reincarnation he turned into this kind of thing standing on the opposite side of the food chain.

But he didn't have much time to feel emotional, because the panel suddenly lit up again.

[Daily Trait Unlocked]

Congratulations on obtaining a new trait:

[Root Spread] (Blue)

Effect: Root system growth Speed + 300%

"..."

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, then went wild with joy; so it wasn't starting to refresh from tomorrow, there was also a trait today.

His confidence greatly increased; as long as he stayed alive and low-key, sooner or later he would be able to stack traits to a terrifying quantity.

Green, blue, purple, gold — — even more red.

The effect of Root Spread took effect immediately.

He could clearly feel that the originally thin and weak rootlets began to extend at a Speed visible to the naked eye.

Pushing deep into the leaf litter layer, absorbing water and nutrients.

Health value jumped from 50 to 53, then 56.

"This cheat is opened too big... Although I'm not human... barely accept it!!"

He hadn't finished speaking, because sounds came from afar again...

It was human footsteps, steadier than the previous wave of small-fry resource-scavengers.

"New enemies are coming..."
