Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Chapter 1 It’s great to be a non-human

The weather is clear and clear.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, leaving golden spots on the dense vegetation of the primeval forest and making Chen Yao's body sparkle.

"so good."

Chen Yao stood on a small hill, "looking" at the scenery of the mountains and forests in the distance, enjoying the double baptism of sunshine and breeze.

"It's good not to be a human being..."

Who would have thought that a 21st century office worker who died suddenly from overwork would travel to another world and become a stone pillar two meters high, half a meter thick, and half buried in the ground?
Who could have thought that only half a day after the time travel, Chen Yao had adapted to the fact of becoming a pillar?
Compared to the life of a corporate slave who works from dawn to dusk to earn new cars for the boss and pick up girls.

Chen Yao felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with becoming a pillar.

No need to eat, sleep, poop or pee, and no need to buy a house or a car.

Because the root of troubles has disappeared, even the most primitive desires of human beings have disappeared.

Of course, if it was just an ordinary pillar, Chen Yao would still find it somewhat boring.

Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be ordinary.

[Lord of Totem: Chen Yao]

[Companion God: Blessing]

[Current Totem: None]

[Totem range: 30 feet in radius]

【Believers: None】

This is what appeared after Chen Yao regained consciousness.

But five days passed and Chen Yao still hadn't found out what this panel-like thing was used for.

So now, apart from basking in the sun and enjoying the breeze every day, Chen Yao can only have some more fun after nightfall.

In this world, the peacefulness of the day seems to set off the mystery of the night.

After night fell, those mysterious beings wandering outside the totem range really opened Chen Yao's eyes.

On the first night he came into this world, Chen Yao was frightened by the dark and gloomy environment.

But when I think about the fact that I have become a pillar, what is there to be afraid of?
After that, he let go.

The night seemed to have sensed the change in Chen Yao, and immediately showed Chen Yao more of its content.

During these few nights, Chen Yao had seen humanoid creatures that were completely black, had four arms and two legs, and crawled around.

I have also seen a movable dark sky where I couldn't see my hand in front of me wherever I passed.

I have also seen a scene where a panicked wild deer running towards me was swallowed up by a shallow puddle of water on the ground.

This bizarre and strange night made Chen Yao exclaim: "Luckily I'm not a human!"

Through observations over the past few days, Chen Yao discovered that he seemed to be in a different camp from those things that appeared at night.

Of course, it's not hostile.

He is more like an existence that those things hate.

This is because no matter what it is, when passing through the three-meter radius where he is, it will go around him.

Even the moving dark sky separated on its own 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 this bare stone pillar.

After five days of fruitless research, Chen Yao gave up.

"That's it. It's good too."

Chen Yao looked at the trees swaying in the wind under the sun and thought boredly.

As time goes by, the sky turns yellow.

After looking at green plants for a whole day, Chen Yao came back to his senses and prepared to face all kinds of wonders tonight.

But at this moment, there was suddenly movement in a bush about one meter tall not far from where he was.

A rustling sound was heard.

Chen Yao looked over curiously.

A huge wolf head with black and gray hair suddenly popped out from the bushes.

There is a diamond-shaped piece of white fur between the wolf's eyebrows.

The wolf's head swung and looked around, and when the pair of brown eyes saw Chen Yao's stone pillar, there seemed to be more light in them.

Then, this gray-black giant wolf, which was two and a half meters long, one meter tall at the shoulder, and as big as a Siberian tiger, staggered out of the bushes. Only then did Chen Yao see the blood and claw marks on the giant wolf's waist and abdomen, and discovered its weakness.

The giant wolf walked on four legs for nearly a minute, a distance of less than 20 meters.

When it arrived in front of Chen Yao, the giant wolf stubbornly controlled its staggering body and slowly lay on the ground.

After doing all this, he closed his eyes and fainted.

Just when Chen Yao was curious about what the giant wolf meant, some more information suddenly came to his mind.

"If you find believers, will you accept them?"

Believer?

Chen Yao looked at the giant wolf that had fainted on the ground, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Accept!"

"The Mountain Wolf has been accepted as a believer! Begin burning the totem..."

Chen Yao suddenly discovered that he could see through himself.

Through perspective, Chen Yao discovered that on the part of the column where he was buried underground, a wolf-shaped pattern howling towards the sky was slowly emerging.

The panel that had been useless until now reappeared in his consciousness like smoke and fog.

[Lord of Totem: Chen Yao]

[Companion God: Blessing]

[Current Totem: Howling Moon Wolf]

[The Fire of Faith: A Wisp]

[Totem range: 60 feet in radius]

【Believers: Mountain Wolf*1】

Looking at the extra things on the panel, Chen Yao checked them one by one with a little excitement.

After focusing his consciousness on the 'Mountain-Moving Howling Moon Wolf', new information appeared.

[Mountain-Moving Howling Moon Wolf: A demon beast from the ancient Ten Thousand Mountains that has the ability to move mountains]

[Totem Power: Earth Control, Moonlight Breathing]

【Believers: Mountain Wolf】

Along with this information comes the corresponding explanation about the totem.

"The believers of the current totem who are within the range of the totem pole can obtain the power of the totem!"

"You can consume the fire of faith and engrave the totem on a spiritual object, allowing the spiritual object to gain the power of the totem for a short period of time."

"The use of the spiritual object of the engraved totem is not restricted by the believers to whom the current totem belongs."

After understanding these contents, Chen Yao continued to look at the two totemic powers.

[Soil Control: Can manipulate soil and rocks as you wish]

[Moonlight Breathing: Inhale and exhale moonlight to strengthen oneself]

Chen Yao looked at these two abilities and briefly reviewed the current situation.

Because a mountain wolf became his follower for some unknown reason, he got an extra totem and activated the panel, expanding the range by three meters.

Then, he gained two totemic powers.

Not only can the power of these two totems be enjoyed by believers within a certain range, but he, the bearer of the totem, can also use them unconditionally.

After figuring it out, Chen Yao looked directly at the ground in front of the pillar without saying anything.

Suddenly, soil, rocks and gravel began to rise from the ground where weeds about a foot high were growing.

In the blink of an eye, the earth, rocks and gravel appeared like a cloud, filling an area of ​​several meters in radius.

As Chen Yao's consciousness changed, the mass of earth, rocks and gravel began to flow like water within a radius of three meters.

In other words, Chen Yao has no body now, otherwise drool would flow from the corners of his mouth that he cannot close.

After playing for more than ten minutes, when Chen Yao felt that his consciousness was a little tired, he woke up with a start and dispersed the dirt and rocks.

Looking at the fine pieces of soil, rocks and gravel scattered on the grass, even though Chen Yao felt tired for the first time, he could not hide his joy.

"It's great to be a non-human!"
