If I let you become a druid, would you join the Demon Sect?

Chapter 3 Complete the Spiritual Awakening
Gu Yan is a principled villain.

He is very angry now.

This tree root actually wants him to be a good person.

It's simply an insult to his personality!
Anyone who has seen a Hollywood superhero movie knows this.

It's easy to be the protagonist. In the early stage, you are a loser and decadent person, but in the end, because of love, friendship, homosexuality, mutation, and shouting slogans, you can win inexplicably.

Being a villain requires a lot of consideration.

It's not easy to be a villain.

Like many villains in movies, they must possess the following characteristics:

1. Have lofty ideals.

Second, never be lazy in order to achieve your goals.

Third, he works hard and reflects every day, using all means and methods to achieve his criminal goals.

Fourth, laugh often, and in a laugh-a-haha kind of way.

5. Act as a team and never act alone unless necessary.

6. Don’t be discouraged by failure, be indomitable, and even if you are knocked down, you must shout that you will come back.

Have a look.

Such an inspiring spirit!
Such great persistence!
This broken tree root actually wants me to betray my own beliefs?

True birth!
Just when Gu Yan was cursing in his heart.

The four balls of light that were originally condensed under the mound began to dissipate and disappear into the air and soil.

Gu Yan had no choice but to accept his fate and turned to walk towards the home of his father's eldest disciple.

Looking at his frail figure in the wind and rain, the village elder who had felt sorry for Gu Yan sighed, shook his head, and looked at everyone: "Stop talking, and quickly dig up the pile of dirt. Maybe he's not dead yet."

"They are all strangers anyway..."

Someone, unwilling to work in the cold rain, muttered something under his breath, and was immediately kicked to the ground by the village elder who was still quite strong: "What are you talking about? We are all from the same village. Today you help me, tomorrow I help you. This is how we mountain people survive. Go and dig the dirt!"

Under his scolding and urging, everyone could only get busy reluctantly.

This is what mountain people are like.

Poverty brings people together when there is no conflict of interests.

While everyone here was busy, Gu Yan had already arrived at the burial place of his father's eldest disciple's family.

Looking at the 'grave' he had carefully created by blasting, he felt much better.

He kills people and buries the bodies. He is truly the conscience of the industry.

Well, it's kind-hearted after all.

No wonder that broken tree root was willing to follow me.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan's mood improved a little.

Perhaps the existence of spirits is time-limited.

The spirits here are also disintegrating.

There were only three people in the family of my father's eldest disciple. When the hunting dog followed Gu Yan's father up the mountain, it died in the mountain and never came back.

Sensing the three spirits in the mound, Gu Yan first observed them.

The spirit representing the eldest disciple is obviously larger and dissipates more slowly.

The spirit representing the eldest disciple's mother had almost dissipated by half.

Finally comes the spirit of the eldest disciple’s child.

The other person is ten years old this year. He used to have a close relationship with Gu Yan, but they stopped interacting after Gu Yan became ill. Even after Gu Yan's father went to the mountains, he and other children from the same village threw dung cakes into Gu Yan's house.

All I can say is, like father, like son.

Gu Yan's father chose these two families to form a group because he brought Gu Yan, who was only one or two years old, here. For Gu Yan's safety, he was unwilling to remarry with people from the village. In addition, the families of these two apprentices were outsiders and had no roots, so they were easy to control, so he made this choice.

I have all sorts of random thoughts in my mind.

After observing for a while and confirming that the existence time of the spirit is related to the strength of the creature's vitality before death, Gu Yan had an idea: "Take the spirit."

next moment.

The spirit representing the eldest disciple was pulled to Gu Yan's eyebrows by an invisible tentacle.

It works great.

Gu Yan didn't waste any more time and went straight back to his residence.

He is weak and cannot stand the cold.

In fact, after he came out, the cold air entered his nasal cavity and he had been wanting to cough for a long time, but he had to hold it in.

"Cough cough cough~"

As soon as he returned to the house, Gu Yan couldn't control his body's reaction. He knelt down again and curled up, coughing violently.

It wasn't that he wanted to curl up on his knees, but it was more comfortable for him to cough.

By the time the coughing stopped, there was a splattered blood stain on the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Yan wiped his mouth, took off his straw raincoat, and staggered onto the bed, wrapping himself completely in the bearskin on the bed. "After not taking medicine for so many days, my tuberculosis has started to get worse again. I caught a cold again today. If it gets worse, I'm afraid my body will burst like a dam and I won't be able to recover."

Fortunately, I took decisive action before my condition worsened.

Otherwise the situation would be even worse.

Take a breather.

Gu Yan, whose body had warmed up again, cheered himself up.

next moment.

His consciousness returned to the white space.

Two large balls of light have appeared under the floating tree roots in the middle of the space.

The volume of the light ball is several times larger than the yellow light ball of the hunting dog, but the color is different, both are milky white.

Seeing this comparison, Gu Yan felt much more at ease. According to the information conveyed to him by the tree roots, in order to awaken his spirit and enter the transcendent realm, he needed ten units of hound spirit.

A young and strong spirit is four or five times the size of a hunting dog.

Two young and strong spirits, plus the spirit of Sanzi, the hunting dog, might be able to meet the needs of awakening the spirit.

Extraordinary!
Who hasn’t longed for supernatural powers when they were young?
With full of expectations, Gu Yan slowly fell into a deep sleep.

When Gu Yan woke up again, it was already afternoon.

After a good sleep, he felt much better.

The autumn sun sets quickly.

Judging from the sky, based on my previous life's memory, it should be around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

The thunderstorm has passed and it's muddy outside.

Gu Yan discovered that the ruins of his father's two apprentices' homes had been cleared.

It was cleaned so thoroughly that not even a single intact brick or tile was left.

If there weren't some traces and ruins of houses there, Gu Yan would almost think that it was an empty lot.

I just don't know where those bodies were thrown.

Mountain people don’t even have arable land, so they don’t have so many requirements.

If the coffin has been prepared in advance and the relatives are willing to hold a banquet, the body will be kept for a few days.

There is no banquet, no coffin, and no relatives to take care of the funeral, so the villagers need help. Everyone will divide the deceased's family, and then work together to wrap the deceased in a straw mat, find a pit to bury the body, and at most put up a board to indicate that there is a grave.

As for the epitaph, it doesn't exist, and only a few people in the village can read it.

The one who knows the most words is Gu Yan.

When his father was still alive, the family was well off and they only had this one son, so they were willing to spend money to let him study in a private school in the county town for a few years.

However, Gu Yan is now suffering from tuberculosis, and everyone is afraid of being infected, so no one will come to see him.

Gu Yan didn't care about it.

He wrapped himself in animal skins, lit a fire, drank some meat porridge, and when his chest felt less stuffy, he rubbed his palms and focused his attention on the tree roots in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Awakening the spirit, transcendence!
This feeling is like opening a blind box, or like opening a love letter written to you by your secret crush when you were young, full of fantasy and expectation.

Gu Yan had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt this excitement and anticipation.

So excited!

With a nervous heart, Gu Yan's consciousness once again descended into the white space.

As soon as he came in, he was immediately attracted by the tree roots.

I saw that on the originally bare dark brown tree roots, there was actually a green fruit.

The fruit is very small, probably only as big as an adult's fingernail, but there is a light green light flowing on the surface, which is eye-catching and it is obvious that it is an extraordinary product at first glance.

A look of joy flashed in Gu Yan's eyes.

Become!

He excitedly stretched out his hand over the fruit, pulled it gently, and successfully pinched the fruit between his fingertips.

Take a closer look.

Gu Yan no longer hesitated and stuffed the fruit into his mouth.

The fruit melts in your mouth.

next moment.

Gu Yan's eyes widened, and a faint green light shone in them. Countless forgotten memories from the past surged through his mind and became clear again.

His consciousness was clearer than ever before.

A bit of green light slowly condensed at the center of his physical body's eyebrows, and finally turned into a seed, which then turned into a bunch of patterns containing strange information, appearing on the forehead of Gu Yan's consciousness, forming a special rune tattoo.

The moment the tattoo came together.

Something similar to a career panel appeared in Gu Yan's mind.

[World Tree (0.001%) Controller: Gu Yan
Occupation: Tier 0 Druid (no specialization)

Exclusive passive talent:

1. Zero-order plant affinity

2. Zero-Order Animal Affinity

Exclusive active talent:

1. Natural decomposition

2. Soul Capture

After just a quick glance at the simple panel, Gu Yan couldn't wait to regain consciousness.

When I opened my eyes, the world was different.

The chest that had originally felt stuffy and uncomfortable now felt much more unobstructed, and even the urge to cough was minimal.

The whole world becomes extremely clear, as if switching from a low-resolution display to a high-resolution display.

Standing inside the house.

Gu Yan found that he could vaguely feel the flow of air in the house and hear things farther away.

He rushed out of the room and looked into the distance.

You can also see farther.

What’s even more amazing is that when looking at the mountains in the distance, Gu Yan actually felt extremely close to them, as if that was his home and the place where his soul rested.

Even the occasional barking of dogs and chirping of birds in the village sounded so familiar to him now.

Because he seemed to vaguely understand the simple meaning of dogs barking and birds singing.

After the awakening of the spirit, the world is really different!

The board will only come out when it is transformed. I still have a lot of integrity in this regard.
