Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Chapter 20: Deceiving Heaven and Phantom Willow
[The Heaven-Deceiving Illusionary Willow: An ancient divine willow that has the ability to deceive the heavens. Its form cannot be seen by anything.]

[Power of Totem: Controlling Wood, Suppressing Evil, Deceiving the Illusionary World]

【Believers: Shan Liu】

Looking at the extra totems that appeared after accepting the Willow God, Chen Yao didn't know what to say.

After Liu Wudi took out the Willow God sapling, Chen Yao discovered that a faint consciousness had contacted his consciousness.

This was the first time that Chen Yao was contacted by another consciousness.

From this perspective alone, the gods in the mountains are no different from Chen Yao.

In other words, Chen Yao is more like a mutated "mountain god".

As for why Willow God became a believer afterwards, Chen Yao didn’t know why.

Maybe Willow God sensed that Chen Yao had no ill intentions, or maybe there was some other reason.

Anyway, when Chen Yao got the prompt to 'accept believers', he accepted them without any hesitation!
After accepting the Willow God sapling, Chen Yao vaguely understood some information.

For example, the Willow God’s true form is actually a spiritual creature!
Different from the spiritual objects in the hands of Dalang and Liu Wudi, the spiritual object Liu Shen does not require Chen Yao to consume the fire of faith to activate it, and it can become an existence like Chen Yao's clone.

In other words, if you place the Willow God outside the totem range now, He will create a protective range by Himself!
Within this range, whether it is the suppression of demons or the inheritance of various totemic powers, it is no different from within the range of Chen Yao's body.

Of course, the effect of the Heaven-Deceiving Phantom Willow Totem disappeared after it left Chen Yao's range.

In addition, there is another thing that Chen Yao cares about.

That is, no matter where the God of Willow is, Chen Yao can communicate with the believers within the protection range of the God of Willow through the God of Willow!
This is much better than the totem object that Chen Yao made with the fire of faith.

The only pity is that Willow God has now abandoned his original body and is now just a sapling. The range he can protect is much smaller than Chen Yao, only ten feet!

Just as Chen Yao was digesting the new information, Liu Wudi's slightly confused voice sounded:

"Pillar God, Willow God...why did they disappear?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao looked towards the location of the Willow God sapling.

Although there was nothing there, in Chen Yao's perception, the Willow God sapling was just staying there quietly.

Even when the wind blows, His only three willow branches will sway in the wind.

This ability is the instinct of Qi Tian Huan Liu.

Chen Yao can also use the totem power of [Deceiving Heaven and Illusionary World] to hide himself.

But unlike Liu Shen, if Chen Yao uses it himself, it will consume energy.

But Willow God doesn't need that.

Of course, if you need to hide a larger area, you will need to consume your divine consciousness.

"Xiao Liu is by my side, don't panic."

Chen Yao's words calmed Liu Wudi down.

Liu Wudi didn't dare to think too much about the 'Xiao Liu' mentioned by the Pillar God.

Before Chen Yao could continue to study the other two totem powers brought by the Willow God, Liu Wudi asked Chen Yao again whether he could accept the remaining villagers.

Chen Yao naturally would not refuse, and his response was still "As long as your heart is sincere, that's all."

However, with the example of Liu Quan last time, Chen Yao did not think that all the twenty-three people in Liu Village could become believers.

Chen Yao felt good if half of them could become believers.

But what happened afterwards surprised Chen Yao. Of the twenty-three people from Liu Village, except Liu Chuan in Liu Wudi's arms, the other twenty-two people triggered the prompt to accept believers after they bowed down.

After Chen Yao thought about it, he understood.

Liu Village is gone, and the Willow God has become Chen Yao's believer. Those people from Liu Village who escaped death are satisfied just to receive his blessing.

Therefore, they had no resistance to Chen Yao, the new 'God'.

After all, trusting Chen Yao can save your life.

In this way, Chen Yao's human followers soared from three to twenty-five!

Including the mountain wolf pack, Chen Yao now has forty-three followers!

Oh, and there is another reserve believer, the infant Yanagawa. It is conceivable that once Yanagawa grows up and has his own consciousness.

Under Liu Wudi's guidance, their faith will definitely be stronger than those who joined halfway.

Looking at it from another angle, Liuchuan, the baby who grew up under Chen Yao's protection, is actually Chen Yao's first generation of believers in the true sense.

"Pillar God, now that Liuzhai no longer exists, we will live under your protection, so I want to change my surname from Liu to Zhu. I wonder..."

After hearing what Liu Wudi said, Chen Yao did not agree.

It is foreseeable that there will be a lot of people living under his protection in the future. It would be too boring if they all had the same surname.

"Keep your original name, no need to change your surname."

After Chen Yao's order was conveyed, there was a trace of hesitation on Liu Wudi's face, but out of respect for the Pillar God, he said nothing more.

After that, Chen Yao began to study his newly acquired abilities, and Liu Wudi was also comforting and teaching those people in Liu Village who had suddenly gained the blessing of the War Witch Totem.

Now, these people can no longer be called Liu Wudi’s villagers. It might be better to call them clansmen.

Among these twenty-two people, there are only ten real warriors.

Among them, five are for refining the skin, three are for refining the flesh, and two are for refining the tendons.

Add in Liu Yun and Liu Shan, two people who practice muscle training, and that’s all the warriors.

Although the others have practiced some boxing and kicking, they have not entered the body-building realm.

So except for the ten warriors who understood what happened after Liu Wudi's explanation, the other twelve were all confused.

They only know that they are incredibly strong now, and are absolutely good at digging and felling wood, but if they are asked to fight, they may not be able to beat a warrior in the Bone Refining Stage.

This is the disadvantage of totem upgrading.

But in Liu Wudi's eyes, this drawback is nothing at all.

After consulting Chen Yao, Liu Wudi instructed his clansmen:
"Have a good rest tonight. We will be busy tomorrow morning!"

"We need to clear away all debris within a hundred-foot radius, centered on the Pillar God!"

"From now on, this will be our new village!"

"have you understood?"

A group of anxious people suddenly had a new goal and calmed down.

So they all responded loudly: "Understood!"

Chen Yao looked at this scene and felt nothing.

But when he saw the big wolf, he realized that he had forgotten to provide the big wolf with a territory.

This matter was told to Liu Wudi, who expressed his own thoughts and divided Chen Yao's protection range into two parts.

The part of the forest belonging to the mountain wolf pack will remain intact and maintain its original appearance, while the other half will be transformed.

Anyway, there aren’t many people here now, so half of the land is more than enough.

Chen Yao agreed.

Afterwards, Chen Yao told the big wolf the news, and the big wolf howled loudly for now having a territory.

As a result, he started coughing halfway through howling.

When Chen Yao saw the big wolf's situation, he suddenly thought of something.

The earth-controlling technique was used, and the totem spirit that was swallowed by the big wolf was guided and spit out from the big wolf's mouth.

I have to say, in Chen Yao's opinion, Dalang's operation is really awesome!
In order to free its mouth, it directly swallowed the totem spirit!

Then, relying on the strong physique after being promoted to a monster, he became immune to the discomfort of the totem spirit in his stomach, which allowed him to fight Huai Wanping with ease later.

Come to think of it, Chen Yao himself hadn't thought of this, but this silly wolf cub did.

Once again, Chen Yao felt the big wolf's talent in fighting.
