Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

…

…

"Ding, experience points +10."

Feeling the system voice echoing in his mind, Jiang Hui listlessly shook his slim, emerald green branches.

Three months.

Unconsciously, he had been reincarnated as a willow tree for three whole months.

From the initial disbelief to awakening the Golden Finger, and now to taking things as they come.

During these three months, with the help of the Golden Finger, he had been gaining 10 experience points every day, but he was still just a level 0 ordinary willow tree.

Nothing else.

From level 0 to level 1 required a full 1000 points of experience, and with his daily gain of 10 experience points, he was still short by 100 points even now.

The ways to increase experience points could generally be divided into two types.

The first was the system gift, which increased by 10 points every day systematically.

The second was through developing followers and power.

The more followers, the stronger their abilities and the better their talents, the greater the opportunities obtained, and the more experience points rewarded.

The same was true for power, the greater the power, the richer the experience points feedback.

However, as a level 0 ordinary willow, he could not hear or see; he couldn't even spot a ghost, let alone start on the grand avenue.

…

…

The day finally arrived, passing swiftly as ten days flew by.

Dew accompanied the dawn, and the warm glow of the sunrise bathed the earth...

"Ding, experience points +10."

"Congratulations, host. Your experience points have reached 1000. Would you like to level up now?"

After accumulating over these days, Jiang Hui's experience points had finally reached 1000, allowing him to level up from 0 to 1.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hui chose to level up immediately; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Successfully leveled up, rewarding one lucky draw!"

The system voice announced.

After reaching level 1, Jiang Hui's body instantly grew as thick as a water tank, and his height increased by ten meters, reaching over 30 meters.

"Comfortable!"

Feeling the vibrant vitality emanating from his body, Jiang Hui couldn't help but want to let out a long sigh.

This sense of comfort was indescribable in words, reaching deep into his soul, like the clear skies after a rain, with thousands of poetic rhythms flashing through his mind...

However, he still couldn't make a sound and could only relish the moment in his mind.

[Race: Mutant Willow]

[Level: lv1]

[Annual Ring: 10]

[Power: None]

[Number of Followers: 0]

[Divine Skills: None]

[Cultivation Technique: None]

[Items: None]

[Psychic Power: 100]

[Number of Draws: 1]

After leveling up to one, not only had Jiang Hui's physique changed, but a personal panel also appeared in front of him visible only to him, which briefly recorded his information.

After a quick browse, Jiang Hui directly clicked on the draw.

"Draw complete, congratulations on obtaining the Divine Skills of Five Senses and Junior Detective Art."

"Five Senses: Upon use, permanently obtain sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, covering a radius of three hundred meters around (can be increased with level) except for touch."

"Junior Detective Art: Can view basic information about any item (not upgradable) (effect is automatically applied)."

"I actually drew this!!!"

Looking at the introduction, Jiang Hui couldn't help but feel ecstatic inside.

He put aside the Surveillance Technique for now, what was important was the Five Senses.

Although being reincarnated as a willow tree meant he didn't need to worry about basic sustenance like hunger, he had lost the sense of sight and hearing, wandering through life hazily, much like a walking corpse.

Now that he had acquired the Five Senses, he could finally witness the world he was in and experience its most natural changes.

"Activate the Five Senses immediately."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jiang Hui thought to himself.

"Hum..."

The next moment.

A cold touch that faintly carried a chill unexpectedly assaulted him, landing on Jiang Hui's body, almost as if he had been electrified.

And that wasn't the end, immediately after, within his range of vision, countless tiny droplets fell from the sky like thousands of little paratroopers...

In the distance, ancient trees reached to the skies, covering the sun, streams cascaded everywhere, looking just like a mortal fairyland.

However, due to the limited range of the Five Senses, Jiang Hui couldn't see farther places.

But even so, it was enough to make Jiang Hui happy.

He saw, he heard, he felt.

The sensation of regaining control over his own body nearly moved Jiang Hui to tears.

You wouldn't believe how hard it had been to endure three whole months without hearing, sight, or touch!

For quite a while, Jiang Hui regained his composure and looked at the second divine skill.

The changes brought about by the Surveillance Technique weren't as stark, but being able to probe basic information about anything was indeed a helpful aid.

As days passed.

Jiang Hui's life undoubtedly became much more interesting, spending his days either gazing into the distance or watching small animals frolic by, and although the range was only about three hundred meters, he enjoyed himself.

The Five Senses, unlike normal vision, allowed him to sense movements from all directions, giving him a nearly omnidirectional view, a truly unique sensation.

In particular.

After some time observing, Jiang Hui had started to realize that he was most likely not on Earth.

After all.

He didn't remember any forests on Earth being as dense and mysterious, vast and grand, with towering mountain ranges undulating like prehistoric times…

Nor did he remember any species of snake on Earth that could reach a terrifying length of 30 meters, not even the largest known python, the Titan python, could compare.

...

...

On this day.

Just after finishing his photosynthesis and "filling his belly," Jiang Hui was preparing for a little rest, when suddenly, a rustling noise arose.

Jiang Hui only glanced once before turning away his gaze.

He knew without guessing who it was.

Moments later, the rustling sound ceased, and a huge Black Shadow slowly emerged.

As expected, it was the thirty-meter-long giant Black Python.

Its body glistened black, somewhat resembling the Black-Spined Snake from his previous life, but much larger, as it slowly slithered its massive body from one side.

Upon reaching Jiang Hui, the giant snake chose a spot with an excellent angle for sunbathing and comfortably spread its entire body to bask in the sun.

Ever since this giant python had discovered that Jiang Hui's spot was the most comfortable for sunbathing, it had become a regular visitor, stopping by almost every day to take a nap here unless the weather was poor, blowing wind or raining, virtually without fail.

Initially, when Jiang Hui first encountered the python, he had been so shocked that he could barely recover for half a day, but eventually, seeing that the snake had no bad intentions, Jiang Hui let it be.

Having basked in the sun for half the day, the Black Giant Python finally woke up satisfied from its nap, flicking its tongue languidly and leisurely slithering toward the bushes nearby.

Despite its massive size, the python moved quite quickly and disappeared from Jiang Hui's view in just a moment.

Its nest was built not far from him. The second he had gained the Five Senses, he had sneakily glanced over—it was nothing more than a slightly deeper and larger open-air dirt pit, nothing noteworthy.

Yet today, Jiang Hui still habitually glanced over.

"Eh, something seems off."

This time.

Jiang Hui's gaze, which he was about to retract, paused.

Right next to that day's python's nest, a few freshly sprouted shoots breaking through the soil caught his attention.

Unlike other seedlings, these were uniquely golden all over. Under the faint light, they shimmered with a metallic luster, quite dazzling—a discerning eye would immediately recognize them as no ordinary items.
